This visit, we picked up a small box of assorted cookies. We also got a couple of cupcakes that we planned to enjoy right away. Mine was Chocolate Turtle and the other was Carrot Cake. Thankfully, they had napkins and forks available, which came in handy. Both were delicious. The service has always been excellent, with friendly people behind the counter who make each visit pleasant. Sciortino's is a must-stop if you're looking for delicious Italian cookies and other bakery treats.

We came on a Sunday before they officially started serving breakfast and just had pastries available, but we were getting together with some friends for our monthly coffee date and didn't need a whole meal necessarily. The selection was a bit more limited than I would have expected from a boulangerie, but the cinnamon roll was very good (probably would have been better if it had been warmed up but that was not offered). And the cookies that we brought home (chocolate chip and gingersnap) were also very good. I also tried a bite of my husband's quiche and it was very good--definitely made in-house! The almond croissant had a generous amount of almond paste in it, and was quite sizable, too.

Got to see the new month of August drink and treat banners-love that touch. Lemon Meringue pie looks so spectacular. The menu feels inspiring, try it, and if you love it, attempt to make it yourself so you can eat it 100 times. The pie was good. I think it'd been better heated up with ice cream. Inside the pie really was more just like a regular apple pie with plenty of spice. Carmel seemed to be like a topping rather than an ingredient. I think it'd be amazing if the Carmel was inside. Staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly, I overheard guest conversation with them at front on there questions about the key-lime pie. The only thing I have to say for the order taker is please remind people to use their punch card that's good at their 2 cousin locations as well. The on my time I got a punch was the 1 time I was reminded was when I received the card. And I've been back 3 times since. There the Cheese shop by fiser forum or sausage shop in Milwaukee public Market I still have to check out. If they created a phone number "points" system that would be event better than carrying around a paper card.

I particularly enjoyed the Heath Bar Brownie, which was delectable and complemented perfectly with a cup of coffee. The Heath Bar Brownie's exceptional quality has prompted me to indulge in it on two consecutive Fridays.

Date of visit: March 23, 2025…read more How funny that we visited Bakehouse 23 on the 23rd! Totally not intentional but glad that we did stop by as both of the things that I tried were excellent. First up, location and staff. This is truly a neighborhood bakery so expect to pull in, grab some things, and dash off. I believe they have some tables for the summer but in March there's just no place to sit and enjoy your items, so keep that in mind. It's a family affair behind the counter with the young gentleman reminding me of helping my mom bus tables as a waitress many years ago. He was polite and efficient, two great things you don't see in young 'uns these days! Most importantly, the goods! Sundays are cinnamon roll days and that is where it's at, people. They are ready by 9 am and when we grabbed them this morning, they were still warm! We took them to the Starbucks on Drexel because of the aforementioned seating challenge and they were still warm and also delicious. Easily one of the best rolls I've ever had--and I am nothing if not a bread connoisseur. I also snagged a peanut butter cup for later (later being noon...) and it was phenomenal. Don't sleep on this place--honestly, how am I the first one reviewing it!--if you're anywhere in the southern hemisphere of Milwaukee, it's a gem!

First time at this location. It's a nice spot in downtown Oconomowoc. No street parking here, but…read morethere are a couple of public parking lots close by. A couple of small café tables out front. Big glass windows let in lots of natural light. Inside, there are tables for small groups along with a couch. It has a nice, casual feel. Came with a friend early in the morning. Got a friendly greeting from the barista. Ordered a London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam). They don't serve drinks in mugs, so I had to settle for a paper cup (not my favorite). They have a large assortment of croissants to choose from -- I picked the Blueberry Cream. They didn't have other bakery items (no muffins, no scones). There was only one person working, but they did a good job keeping up with the slow stream of customers. They seemed to handle the rush just fine, with a pleasant smile for everyone. The drinks and pastries were very good. Most people who came in got their drinks to go, but a few stayed inside. The noise level was good, which made for a nice conversation. Nice place.

Charming little gem with good Anodyne coffee and scrumptious bakery…read more Just one thing I wish they would fix - please post bakery item prices. Otherwise, every single treat was absolutely delicious. I was seriously wowed. The owner (? I think) named everything I pointed to before giving them to me, but I don't remember all the names. I have to go by what they look like. (Please post bakery item names along with the price!) (Oh and sorry for the bad picture - he looks mad in the picture, but he was actually just really nice and smiling most of the time. I didn't realize until way later that he looks mad in the picture lol) The big puffy cinnamon sugary puff - totally the best thing I had here. Super soft inside and kinda crusty outside, perfectly sweet but not too much. The little mini chocolate croissant lookalike but denser looking things - good, but not necessarily what I'd come back here for. Blueberry scone textured rectangular thing - not airy, but dense, packed with flavor, very filling and delicious.

The people behind the counter are hard-working and friendly, and happy to go through what's on the shelves. My brother loved his hot cocoa with their homemade marshmallow fluff! They also sell lotions, soap, and candles from the business/charity next door, Franciscan Peacemakers (closed on weekends). Only comment I can make is it would be nice if the pastries were labeled as well as show the price, but this isn't stopping me from coming back! The prices are reasonable. Accessibility: It isn't wheelchair accessible (a couple steps to get into the bakery), though it is spacious when you get in. For those who are hearing impaired, I didn't have a problem. Parking: free on-street

First time at this location. I stopped in to pick up a cake for a special occasion…read more Food: They have a great selection of cakes, donuts, pastries, and other bakery items. What really caught my eye was their amazing assortment of filled coffee cakes. You could choose from custard, cream cheese, or buttercream fillings. All three sounded delicious, but I finally settled on the buttercream. Some people in our group thought it had a little too much buttercream. I, on the other hand, thought it was just about perfect! Service: A couple of very friendly employees helped me out. I couldn't decide what to get, and they never made me feel rushed. They even offered a few suggestions, which made the decision a little easier. Atmosphere: The bakery has a large, open layout with plenty of room to browse the display cases, tables, and refrigerated deli items. The large front windows let in lots of natural light, making the space feel bright and welcoming. There's also a large parking lot, so parking wasn't an issue. Definitely a place I'll be stopping at again, especially for that amazing buttercream-filled coffee cake.
