I was introduced to ESO while visiting the south shore farmers market today and love tying new food items so I asked what kind of muffins did the have, I don't have a sweet tooth so the pies and bigger items were out. The lady rattled off the usual muffins and I stopped her at raspberry because I don't think that I have ever had a raspberry muffin before. The idea of a fresh raspberry muffin intrigued me and I couldn't wait to try it. My first impression was the muffin was slightly sweet and then the tart kicks in from the fresh raspberries. I have had sweet muffins in the past but I don't think I have had a tart muffin before and I really liked it. Wow I would definitely stop over when I see a booth again and try something different that I have never had before. read more

I'd like to think of East Side Ovens first and foremost as an excellent bakery. It just happens to be an added bonus that they are vegan! I have tried many, many, oh so many of their products and I have seriously loved everything I've had. Don't believe me? -Banana Choc Chip Cupcake -Pumpkin Cake -Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie -Brownie -Raspberry, blueberry, and banana muffins -Rhubarb Pie -Cherry Pie -Rhubarb, cherry, and apple dumpling LOVED IT ALL. Thankfully I have not eaten all of that in one sitting, but if I could I may just try. My faves? Dumplings and brownies. Both are top notch, out of this world, and had I not know they were vegan, they woulda fooled me! I wish they were open to the public for a longer period of time, but I am just as glad to go to my local outpost and pick up some product there. read more

EAST SIDE OVENS - Can you believe this beauty is completely vegan? It's an excellent piece of bakery that just happens to be vegan as well! - Bakeries Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Fruit dumplings are the best!!! Especially when fresh. Cakes are also good. Cookies are pretty good. But those fruit dumplings....those are iconic. I even had someone try one once and taunt me saying "wow it's so nice to be able to enjoy buttery pastries...you vegans are missing out." Imagine her surprise when I told her they were vegan! Thank you east side ovens!!! For all the yummy treats. read more

I love this place! All vegan, with some gluten-free options as well. I love their muffins and cupcakes, but the raspberry rhubarb "dumplings" (more like tiny rustic tarts) are my fave. They also make great fruit pies They're only open to the pubic on Saturdays (now, as of October, they are in the storefront). During the summer, they have a stand at the farmer's market. I find the prices to be very reasonable, and the people are very sweet. I can't wait to try some of these brownies that people keep raving about! read more

EAST SIDE OVENS - Store front - Bakeries Near Me - Cudahy, Wisconsin

Ummm... yeah. They have the best brownies on the planet, especially when you get them fresh. Buy a tub of soy or almond milk vanilla ice cream to go along with these are you're golden. I'd say they're big enough to cut in two and share but I'm greedy... buy your own and hope I don't steal yours too.Their ginger bread cookies and sugar cookies are also amazing (ginger are a nice soft texture, sugar not like the ones in the store but good in their own right; I also think smaller is better). Turnovers are too die for (again, may want to cut in half and share). I think I've tried most of their bakery selections and am a BIG fan. When I want yummy sugary calories I will go here or to the Outpost nearby. I also finally visited their location a few times. Set up just to be functional, not fancy, but they have my brownies. You better hope you're not in the way of the last one when I'm there... Once in a while they switch a day to open up their main location, but that's usually due to holidays. For example, for Thanksgiving week 2011 they opened on Wednesday instead of Saturday. For Christmas 2011 they were open on a Friday instead of Saturday because Christmas Eve was that Saturday. Also, if you really like something (like how I love their brownies) please compliment them and let them know. There is a person in charge of each kind of bakery they make and when you compliment the sugary yummy thing you also compliment the sugary yummy thing maker. :-) read more

BE STILL MY HEART, WISCO HAS THE BOMB DIGGITY VEGAN BAKED GOODS! East Side Ovens serves up flavorful desserts you wouldn't even guess are vegan (unless you're a Jedi, in which case nothing gets past you)! The chocolate walnut brownies are huge and delicious. The cookies are crunchy and satisfying. I'm jonesing for the pumpkin spice cake I saw for sale yesterday. I pick ma vegan goodies up at Metcalfe's, Fresh Market, and Willy St. in Madison (Woodman's has 'em too). Thanks, Milwauks, for the goodies! read more

Hailing from Canada, we barely have any good places to get baked goods. All if our towns are so spread out. So, when I came to Milwaukee for business, I found a pie made by East Side Ovens that was the best pie I have ever had. It was an apple streusel pie... And only after devouring this pie did I learn it was completely vegan! How do they make such good things without butter or eggs? I don't know and I don't care. I will always remember how great that pie was. read more

I have been in love with East Side Ovens since I first tried their vegan strawberry rhubarb pie around 2002. Delicious! I don't think I've ever had anything there that I didn't like, but my favorites are definitely the strawberry rhubarb pie and the blueberry dumplings. I haven't had their bread in years but I remember really liking the regular whole wheat. I'm not one for pecan sandies, but for some reason, I just can't get enough of these powdered sugar delights. I used to buy their stuff directly from their Bay View store front but now usually get them at farmers markets, Outpost coop, or other outlets. read more

The strawberry chocolate cake is really good. The frosting they use is decent but it's extremely sweet so if you don't like overly sweet things you might want to get something without frosting. They're also selling donuts now (they had peanut butter captain crunch, froot loops, and boston cream when I stopped in). I wanted a single banana cupcake but they only had 2 packs, so the owner gave me a two pack for the price of one! I'd like to shop here more but they're so far on the south side that it's hard to get into their shop very often. read more

Love love love the cookies and hubs several of the cakes. Vegan bakery that is tasty and a little healthier, you can't go wrong!

Delicious vegan bakery and savory treats, but there is something wrong when a customer walks into a small store with 4 people working and no one looks up or says hello. It happens a lot. Work on that. read more

Everything I've tried so far is delicious. This is real baking and not that processed from poor quality ingredients stuff you usually get.

Stopped by Saturday morning for some delicious muffins, ginger snap cookies, pie and coffee! Tastes a bit different cuz it's better for you. Glad we've got ESO in Cudahy. read more

OMG East Side Ovens is AMAZING!!! All vegan bakery. No gluten free options but they were really honest about it and not trying to get anyone sick. Everything I ate from there was sooo delicious especially this frosted apple pastry. The cupcakes and muffins were also absolutely delicious. The prices were also excellent! A vegan's paradise! read more
