This was my first time visiting Pleasant View Bakery after hearing great things from my neighbors…read more It's definitely a long drive, it made for a fun little field trip to rural WI, especially Amish country! When we arrived, we noticed a large parking area. The bakery is housed in a charming blue-and-white building. We didn't realize we could park right next to it, so we ended up parking farther away and walking about 3-4 minutes. Not a big deal, but since it was around 90°F that day, parking closer would have been nice! There's a small sign on the ground pointing to the bakery, and next to it is a lovely picnic area with a few tables and chairs. When we arrived, there was a small bucket with $.50 each zucchini and a beautiful garden nearby. About 20 people were ahead of us in queue but the line moved quickly--we waited roughly 20 minutes. The bakery itself is inside a small house. As you enter, shelves of fresh bread loaves line the right side, while jams and other pickled items are displayed on the left. The register is straight ahead, and behind it is the kitchen where we saw women braiding dough for pretzels--made fresh on-site! The pretzels are huge and cost $3.50 each. We bought one, and it was soft, chewy, and delicious. They also offer an assortment of baked goods like fruit pies (individual and full-size), cinnamon rolls, caramel rolls, and more. The cinnamon rolls are what they're known for, so we grabbed a couple, and my husband really enjoyed his. Near the register, they also sell day-old pastries at a discount, which is a great way to sample more items. One thing to note: they do not accept credit cards--cash only. As an Amish bakery, there's no electricity, so the space is naturally lit and a bit dim inside, but surprisingly not too hot even without air conditioning. Overall, it was a lovely experience. The baked goods were tasty, the setting was peaceful, and the atmosphere felt authentic and welcoming. We'd definitely stop by again if we're in the area.

Honestly the parking is sufficient. We have been going to this bakery since 2006! 19 years of tradition to go to one of the best fresh made, that morning, bakery. Solid ingredients as they don't have electricity and you can watch them loading wood in the ovens in the kitchen. If you hear music it is not a radio, they are singing as they kneed dough and prepare all the breads, cinnamon rolls, banana bars, donuts, cinnamon bread, apple pies and much more. It is tight quarters as it is in the basement of a home. One way in and the same way out. It helps if you bring in your own bag and pay in cash. They do NOT take CC. Again, no electricity. One of the best Amish bakeries and worth it all. For an added treat when you are driving away, make a left turn and go onto the main road and then make a right and hit the grocery store where you will find amazing produce and herbs and lots of fun food items! Don't let the horses that are waiting there. They are working! Again, no electricity so cash only. Enjoy!

It's as good as I'd expect a cappuccino to be. My cousin got something with honey lavender and caramel. Said it was good. Overall, I'm glad to are portage having a solid coffee place.

I heard they get busy, and they open at 9:00am, so I decided to secure the first place in line at 8:40am. By the time they opened their doors, there were at least 20 people waiting in line. Renard's is that good!! I was greeted by a lovely woman and young man (perhaps mother and son?), and I had the first pick of what they had made for the day. Two monkey breads, two fruit-filled pastries, a loaf of sourdough bread and a coffee completed my order. It was all fresh and delicious. Princeton is a small town with a lot of cute shops and wonderful places to visit, and Renard's is one of their jewels. If you're in the area, check them out, but go early because I hear they sell out fast!

There is a ton of variety from in-house decorated cookies, pastries, bars and cake slices available. The prices are great for a local fresh bakery. A dozen chocolate chip cookies baked the same day for $10? Yes, please! Neat-O's does custom orders for cakes and other baked items. They catered my niece's party with lots of sweet, frosted, buttery donuts that tasted so fresh and upscale for a reasonable price. There is usually only one staff member working but they always are polite and efficient. They close relatively early (2pm) so I'd consider it weekend spot unless you're off for the day. It's a smaller shop and there isn't much seating so it isn't a place I'd plan on bringing family to sit down. If you have 5 bucks in your pocket, pop in while you're hanging on the square and treat yourself to something sweet!

I also took 2 cookies for later in the day. While i greatly enjoyed the breakfast i was disappointed in the peanut butter cookie. It wasn't fresh. It looked delicious and i was hopeful but it was hard and not pleasant to eat. Maybe it just had been in the cookie jar too long. I mean it is a bakery and cafe and should be fresh. Their easter cookies and pies in the display case looked AMAZING. I wish i had chosen one of tbose. Anyway, i would go back for breakfast and for pie or maybe one of tnose beautifully decorated easter cookies. But the peanut butter cookie - i will pass on that. Staff were very nice!
