The new owner did give me a refund for the Rum Torte and gave me a $20 gift certificate for a Apple pie in the future - whether or not I enjoyed the goods, it was really a nice gesture and due to that, I just may try them out again. read more

Chris' Bakery - Donuts on the island yay - Bakeries Near Me - Oak Harbor, Washington

When I had to order a cake for my parents 50th anniversary, I knew Chris' Bakery would not disappoint. It was fantastic. I had to order it via email, as I live in TX, and all communication was thorough and professional. Each layer was a different flavor (lemon, vanilla and almond) and it was DELICIOUS! Everyone was very impressed, especially my parents. Thank you for the amazing edible work of art! read more

Donuts that actually taste fresh and delicious! They also have cookies, a few breakfast/lunch options, made to order drinks, cakes, bread options, and a cooler of grab and go drinks. Friendly service. read more

Their donuts and pastries are decent, but not bad. Sometimes you can taste the greasiness though. Yea it's a donut. Customer service has improved since they've opened. read more

Pricey but worth it. Every single item here is good- I don't care if you hate nuts or don't like fruit on your pasties, you'll love it if it's from Chris's. My family and I love to get a box of their goodies when we have family in town, or if we're going for a long drive somewhere- it makes your morning special. read more

Great service. Amazing sweets, highly recommend!! Everything I've tasted from here is amazing and they'll even switch up up to accommodate what you're looking for. 10 out of 10! read more

Really good donuts and pastries! Staff is always friendly and quick service! Large orders are best called in, however they have accommodated our larger orders when we have forgotten wi the out fuss! Thank you! read more

Chris's does some things good. They make awesome bread. It is really hard to find a good pumpernickel or dark rye. And they do a good one. I've met some people who love them, but I don't recommend going in there for donuts. I've tried them 2 or 3 times over the last year and a half and every time it's the same. They look really tasty in the case, but they are just greasy. You can taste the oil instead of the donut. It's almost like the oil is not getting hot enough and the donut is just absorbing all the oil. While I admit Donuts should be eaten fresh, Heaven forbid you Leave one to the next day,because the oil leaches out and just makes your doughnut a soggy mess. When you pick it up and it feels like a wet sponge. Sorry I hate to give poor reviews. I don't have any ax to grind. I just went in there to get bread because I knew it was pretty good, and suckered myself into the Donuts again. This is more a reminder for me then for anyone else. read more

Great place to grab doughnuts and your favorite pastry! Prices are decent, and they always quick and friendly. The only downside is that they say they offer gluten free options, but in reality only have one dessert option that isn't fresh most of the time. read more

The crew here did an amazing job with our wedding cake. I love supporting home town businesses and they do not disappoint here. I used to visit the original store as a child in the late 70's. The normal items they have on a day to day basis are awesome. The wedding cake...just wow...it was exactly as my wife envisioned. I can't say enough great things about the service..from the tasting all the way to cake delivery and setup at the reception. It's been outstanding. read more

Chris' Bakery - Wedding cake - Bakeries Near Me - Oak Harbor, Washington

Been here multiple times since people rave about this place. Everything so far has that "day old" taste. No need to go here. Boxed cake mix is better and Haggen has better pastries and donuts for sure. read more

I love Chris' bakery. They are the best one in town when it comes to donuts. They have a lot of variety of donuts to choose from. Very creative when it comes to the design of their donut toppings, too. It's very worth trying. read more

This is the only place my family and I come for pastries since we moved here about a year ago. They have Pershing donuts (fried cinnamon pastries ) that I love and purchase every time they have it available. My husband loves their French crullers and my kids love their sprinkled donuts. After leaving a hospital visit yesterday, my husband and I were on a high after receiving great news and wanted to celebrate by getting our favorite donuts. We decided to walk inside instead of the drive through so that we could pick out the fun colors for our kids. Usually, the employees are happy to greet you, but when we came in, one of the employees seemed annoyed that we stopped their conversation. We smiled at them and told them, "Hi!" (I've been very enthusiastic about this lately as Washington stopped it's mask mandate and I missed smiling at everyone, I guess it's annoying lol) I checked the time to see if we came before closing, but it was only around 2pm and they closed at 5pm. We took our time to see what they had left in the display case and I kept telling my husband what I thought looked good. I do this with him so we can make a list and have our order ready. The employee who seemed annoyed at our presence repeated everything back that I was telling my husband and asked if that was all, even though I wasn't ready to order yet. I felt rushed so I asked my husband if he wanted anything. My husband asked if they had butter rolls still available and the employee acted like she was offended and said, "Butter rolls?! What butter rolls?" My husband explained he bought a savory roll from then before and the other employee spoke up and said, "Oh! Our flaky butter rolls? I'm sorry, those are only available seasonally! They're so good, I wish we made them year round." I feel like she knew the other girl made us feel awkward so she tried to save face. It really seemed like the other employee didn't want us in the shop so we just said we were ready to pay. The same annoyed employee met us at the register and my husband showed his military ID because they offer a military discount. To this, the employee replied, "Yeah ok." My husband paid and said, "Thank you" and surprisingly, the employee replied, "Thank you, have a nice day!" But with the experience we just went though, I felt like it was superficial. With all that being said, that employee was probably just having a bad day. I've worked in customer service before so I absolutely know what it's like to have those. That being said, even though we were excited to visit the bakery initially, we were left with a bad taste in our mouth and won't be visiting them for pastries anytime soon. 5 stars for the food, but 3 stars for the service. (I attached a photo of what our usual order was since I didn't take a picture of our order yesterday.) read more

Chris' Bakery - Our family favorites: sprinkle donuts for the kids, a French cruller for my husband, and a Pershing for me! - Bakeries Near Me - Oak Harbor, Washington

My family and I are loving coming in here regularly. The selection is really wonderful, ever evolving. It's fun to come in and let your eyes chose. I've gotten things to drop off to friends & family we've been missing & they just bring joy! Staff is great, coffee is too. Very accommodating to requests. They even frosted & sprinkled donuts for my kids! read more

I went to Chris' bakey when they opened today at 6am. I came to get my friend donuts since it was his birthday. I came back home and tried one and they all just seemed... old. Not fresh at all. The packaging clearly states "fresh donuts" I think they gave me some old ones from the previous day. My total for a dozen donuts and two small coffees was a little over $40. If I'm spending this much on donuts I'd like them to be fresh. My friend still loved them but you could just tell they were not fresh at all... I might just have to specifically ask for fresh ones if I ever come back next time. read more

It's really hard to make your choice when you have such a great variety to choose from! Pastries, donuts, pies oh my! We always stop by for our sugar fix when we're in town, don't miss out you have to check them out! read more

I love this bakery, the food(pastry's?) Lol are amazing, they also have sandwiches they look unconventional or maybe not and I'm just not cultured lol but it's all really good thou, my favorite doughnut from there is the sugar covered one my goodness, they are the first ones I've tasted that has a slight crisp/crunch kinda like shell, those are all to harsh of adjectives cause the doughnut isn't crunchy at all it's extremely soft it just has a coating on it that I've never tasted but I love! They are learning from their father who learned from his! So this is the culmination of 40years of baking excellence lol great people aswell, super nice, you'll have an amazing experience. There isn't enough I can say about the bakery it's a great place with great atmosphere, please take a trip to it if your on the mainland and if you on whidbey then pop by it'll be WELL WORTH IT ! read more

Best donuts, breads, and pastries in town,wonderful and friendly service, a must do in Oak Harbor!

Probably one of the best bakeries I've been to lowkey. I love the variety! The fact they are open until the afternoon is pleasing as well ^.^ read more

Donuts were amazing! Definitely going back when we are in the area. Too bad they are closed on Sundays so be sure stop by this place when you arrive on Saturday if you are from out of town. read more

I had a very difficult custom cake order for my husbands surprise birthday party! And they did an amazing job! Not only was it looking perfect but it tasted so good! Everyone kept asking where I got the cake! It was a hit! Thank you for the amazing cake read more

I put in a last minute birthday cake order (the day before I needed it). They were so accommodating and made us a white cake with strawberry filing, strawberry buttercream and lavender and mint colored flowers. It was a six-inch cake, which gave the four of us each two good-sized slices (because we had to save some for the following day). Often, you see people sort of pick at a cake or leave some of the frosting behind because it isn't that great. Not with this. We ate EVERY BITE. Delicious!!!! read more

Glad to see them move into a better location since the old location was hidden away in an area that I'm sure didn't get as much traffic. They have a good variety of different pastries, breads, pies, etc. They have also seemed to expand their donut selection quite a bit, which is nice since the donut shop closed up a couple years ago, there really is not a good place to get donuts outside of a grocery store bakery. Definitely not the best donuts I've had, but definitely good when it comes to oak harbor/the island. read more

Best bakery! Awesome find!! Was great for breakfast on Christmas day. Pre-ordered. Made Christmas morning so easy.

I love that they have sweet and savory options and both are delicious. There is plenty to choose from and I love the monthly flavor changes. They are always so helpful and friendly too. read more

Very nice little bakery. A real bakery. Quaint ambiance, friendly staff, tasty treats. I also had a meat pie there this morning. The crust was so delicious and flaky. The filling was very tasty, very "oniony". It looks like to me they make big sheet cakes there too for special occasions. I recommend this place. read more

I've loved everything about this place since moving here in 2017! The family is wonderful and so kind every time I've visited. You won't be disappointed with anything you buy! They make the BEST sugar cookies. My pups love getting their personal sized pup cakes. I stopped by their new location which has a drive thru, this makes life 100x easier getting treats! They serve donuts now and they are amazing. Their old fashioned donuts taste like everything I remember from my childhood! Support local and load up on goodies, you won't regret it! read more

Everything they have is super tasty and yummy! I really like their almond croissants!! Man pair those with a coffee and you're off to a great start, ahaha! read more

Absolutely delicious. The person at the front counter was bubbly, sweet, and very helpful. Gosh, amazing prices, and great quality food!

Great bakery. The staff are friendly and their pastries are excellent. Go see them and you'll be glad you did

The BEST thing to happen in Oak Harbor. ALWAYS fresh and ALWAYS consistent. I wait every year for Fall to arrive just to order my ABSOLUTE favorite, their ORANGE & CRANBERRY Bundt cake. AMAZING. read more

Basically a redux of the owners' father's place that was a local legend. Unfortunately, the owner-son doesn't have his late father's community spirit. The reason why: the owner is not an equal opportunity baker and has said in social media as well as in an interview with a local newspaper that he will refuse to make wedding cakes for everyone (even though they advertise wedding cakes for everyone) and intends to break the state's discrimination law. He is also known to be quite openly hostile to and about the homeless and needy in Oak Harbor. What they sell is tasty, but the owner is not a supporter of his community as a whole - shameful for a small town business owner. The locally-owned Haggen's would be a better choice for baked goods in Oak Harbor. read more

It's nice to have a real bakery in town. There is a drive thru. You enter it from the right side and it wraps around to the left. The almond croissants are the best. Their doughnut holes are good, but more of a cake doughnut consistency. I liked the cinnamon sugar as opposed to the just sugar ones. Good to share! They're chocolate chocolate chip cookies are also very good read more

Simply the best at which I've ever eaten. The danisnh are to die for. Just the right texture, and the flavor explosion in your mouth is beyond description. I have missed Chris' Bakery in the years it has been gone, and am thrilled that they've returned to Whidbey Island. We often make the half hour trip to Oak Harbor just to enjoy their fare. read more

Such a cute and tiny little bakery tucked away under an awesome restaurant. We've been meaning to check this place out since it opened but finally got the chance today as we were taking a walk down town. We got two orange bread thingys (totally spacing on the actual name) and a cream puff. They both were very delicious and we left wanting more. We came in the afternoon, so they told us they sold out of a bunch but I would have never guessed since there was plenty for us to choose from. We will be back. :) read more

Finally a real bakery!!!!!! Not a supermarket one!!! So happy with the food and variety of pastries!! Definitely worth trying.

I've wanted to get a donut on my way to work for the past week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday. The hours posted say they are open at 6am. I come by at 7:15 and they are closed. what's up with that? Again today I want a donut only to find them closed. read more

Amazing bakery! Visiting from Texas. Our whole family loved Chris' back 30-40 years ago. We are so glad it is back...and Oak Harbor is so blessed to have you back. read more
