They have changed to a Saturday 9am until sold out schedule and boy do they have the following. On one hand I don't want to tell anyone new to make the trip as I don't want to wait in longer lines but I also want people to experience the amazing bakery items they make. So with that I will say I highly recommend you give them a try.

We saw this bakery on main street driving through Maiden Rock, WI. People were leaving the porch…read morewith boxes full of bread so that immediately got our attention. We arrived late Saturday morning but there were still lots of items left (assortment of quiches, breads, pies, cookies, bagels and cream pies). It's on the honor system. You're the shopper and the cashier. They take cash or check and you just total your items and stick the money in the bucket. The items are reasonably priced and so good! There's off street parking or a gas station across the street with plenty of parking.

Very cute coffee shop in downtown, close to many business and the water. We stopped in on a…read moreSaturday morning, and though the place was busy, the line moved fast. My husband ordered a coffee, and he really enjoyed it, and we also got two pastries made by nearby Hanisch Bakery. They were delicious and fresh. We sat in the shop to eat. It was a pleasant environment for chatting, and the eclectic decor was a source of constant fascination for me. We'd definitely stop in here again when in the area!

Service was quick despite some rude customers. We also grabbed a Rachael and a breakfast burrito and the Rachael was so satisfying! We got 2 coffee drinks and they were not very good. We ended up tossing them and going to the coffee shop across the street. We will be back for more donuts! YOLO and refrigerated cream filled ones were our favs!

I'm from Boston and it would have been $50+ The glazed croissant was fantastic, but i feel that the other donuts including the maple stick was just average.

We had visited the orchard years before, and it was easy to remember because they have Jonathan Apple apple trees all along the driveway up to the shop! The apples are so nice it is tempting to pull one through your car window on the way up! They had pies baking as we walked in, heavenly!! You can buy a whole pie, or by the slice, 'ala mode even! A lot of apple desserts, blueberry crisps, cream cheese topped apple muffins.. and a fantastic view from their dining area! The orchard is clean and well marked, will be going back for more apples soon!!

We got a free hay ride where they told us about the history of the orchard, as well as many cool facts about apples. I had no idea that there were over a thousand types of apples! They have a cute little jungle gym for kids to play on while you pick their delicious apples. The honesycrisp are to die for when they are ready. The real fireworks came when we tried their honesycrisp cider. Holy smokes. I would pay whatever they asked of me for that stuff. We honestly went home with six gallons of it because the told us it freezes well. I like that they have a little bakery and seating area. I do wish they haf a little more variety of food and drink options, but we got applr doughnuts and apple crisps and they were glorious! This place is worth the trip when their honeycrisp apples are in season! The perfect way to spend an afternoon with your family!
