My wife came in to pickup two special ordered cheesecakes, and was amazed on how the girl was that cashed her out. What happened to good customer service? The bakery is absolutely amazing with all of the bakery products, but ya gotta work on the staff read more

Henze's Bakery - Variety donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Over the past year and a half their prices have gone up over 70% and their donuts have gotten smaller. Ass those two together and that's a massive increase in price! Take a look at their cinnamon rolls that they sell in a four pack. They used to cover the rolls with icing. Now they barely cover the rolls themselves. Their quality has just gone downhill and their prices have just gotten ridiculous. Plus, if you don't get there early in the morning, like before 8 o'clock, they're out of many different types of donuts. It's sad when a business cheapen their own product and don't care about quality.They had a 70% increase, donuts are smaller and then they beg you and try to guilt you into giving them a tip if you pay by using a credit card .Sad. read more

Used them for my son's graduation party. Was excellent! They helped guide me with volume and choices.

We drive 30 minutes to go to Henze's they're donuts are excellent. We always get the Yum Yum's and the blueberry cake donuts we order ahead of time so that we know they have them. read more

I don't care if anybody says I still love their chocolate covered in yeast donuts, and I always will! The place is not changed in 100 years. It looks the same as it always has. It does kind of seem like there are less donuts than there used to be. The service is as adequate as it always has been. You don't really go in there to sit down and have an hour long session eating a doughnut - you go in to get your stuff and you get out. As long as they keep those chocolate covered yeast donuts then I'll be a happy camper. I rarely stop in there to get them, but when I do, I am one happy girl. read more

I visit Valparaiso from time to time for various reasons such as revisiting campus, meeting up with cousins, etc. It has always been my habit to check out a local bakery while in town. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there were a good selection of donuts, Danish, cookies, and coffee cakes to choose from. I went with 6 donuts - chocolate cruller, raspberry Bismarck, chocolate custard, vanilla glazed yeast donut, and chocolate cake donut. Overall, I thought the donuts were mediocre and a few of them were a tad dry. read more

I'll start with the food from this bakery, the bread is so soft and fresh. I usually get a big box of bread for family gatherings and all of it disappears. I love the different varieties of bread that you can choose from and the prices for each is not overpriced as some other donut spots around so I definitely recommend buying. Service is great very friendly staff. The ambiance of the bakery is good in the mornings it could be a bit full but during lunch or afternoon it's smoother. Even if it's full it's very well worth the wait. I will keep buying my bread from this bakery for more years to come. Good job!! read more

Henze Bakery has great old fashioned donuts. Apple fritters are the best. Their cinnamon rolls are also great. Have to get there early, otherwise their best donuts are sold already. read more

Henze's donuts are delicious! They make those yummy little treats from scratch in-house! The girl's working there are always nice & helpful. I can't say it enough... Valpo is blessed to have this little bakery. read more

It was just okay. Nothing to write home about. The young man working was nice, though. Felt a bit claustrophobic when waiting in line. The apple fritters were lovely the cake donuts were dry. read more

just posting this for the people like Jessica M who said the donuts were a little dry....anyone that goes to a bakery knows that if you go in the afternoon then of course the donuts will be a little dry....anything baked fresh that sits out for a few hrs will dry out.....Jessica's mistake was going in the afternoon. Go to the bakery in the morning and everything is fresh. read more

Love this place! Amazing donuts! Boston cream, apple fritter and the yum yum are our favorites.

Delicious treats!! Love this place! I had the almond coffee cake and the devils food cake donut. They both were so good and fresh!! The staff is super friendly l. I definitely will be back!! read more

My quest for a tasty Paczki is finally over. Of course this time next year I'm hoping I'll be well into a new job ideally in downtown Chicago (self-plug time...anyone in that area or NWI looking for a mid-seasoned systems analyst with Agile/Waterfall experience...ok end of self-plug...LOL*) and may or may not have the time to trek it the 35 minutes or so to Henze's for my annual Polish treat. Of course they are open at 4am...hmm. Hemingway they have a small parking lot near the store shared by some kind of hardware store so competition for a spot can be fierce (especially after nearly a foot of snow that needed a few spots for storage). I was surprised to see there wasn't a line at the door like it was when I went to Beck's Crown Bakery last year for their Paczkis. I didn't know if that was good or bad. But upon entering you could see all the Paczkis laid out on several tables away from their other offerings. I was quickly assisted on in my selection of a half dozen Paczkis. I wound up choosing Custard (my fave), Cherry, Chocolate Mousse, Apple, and Apricot ones. I was elated to get my order and even more elated to discover how tasty they were. The pastry itself tasted very fresh and didn't have that "chemical" taste that I sometimes find. It was definitely a good score. Again I couldn't believe there wasn't a huge line and this was at 12:30 PM. But I'm not complaining...in and out in less than 5 minutes. Woo hoo! read more

There was a wide variety, and everything looked scrumptious. The service was courteous and friendly.

Locally owned bakery with delicious pastries, donuts, cookies and (paczkis, available for Fat Tuesday)

Will forever be chucks to me but they are still pumping the iron just as hard, shout-out to the staff always on point

Been here quite a few times and and every time the girl behind the counter has been rude. I'm usually like whatever and just take my stuff and leave but today really bothered me. I went in with my son and she totally was being a smartass and acting so annoyed as I was asking about the pastries. I just wanted to know what kind of filling was in a few. I spent $15 on donuts and she was just throwing them all in bags..... how much do you have to spend to get them put nicely in a box.... 1/2 the chocolate flaked off from her throwing them in the bag and the toppings, cinnamon, sugar etc ended up going all over the other donuts. The sweets are good but be prepared to not be thanked or appreciated for your business, and don't ask any questions or bother them with anything. read more

This place is the real deal for fresh and delicious donuts & pastries. The apple fritters are some of the best I've ever eaten (and they're huge). The custard long johns are outstanding. read more

I had an eclair and a maple cinnamon roll- delightful! Hope to return soon for a Napoleon.

This place always have fresh everything! It's a family own bakery, which sometimes is better then the big chains! I have been coming here for years..the Apple fritters are my hubby favorite and the cheese pocket is a must try!! The prices are great and the staff is very helpful and friendly. They also place holds for you, which if you are looking to get your favorite for the day, I would recommend! They sell out fast, but as I mentioned you can call ahead to place orders! When wanting a fresh bake good and and not wanting to break the bank, stop by! read more

I can always count on Henze's!!. I got the cake for a dear friend's birthday on Saturday, June 2, 2018 - and as usual....IT WAS PERFECT. I had been sick - so I placed the order over the phone. When I went to pick it up...It was ready on time....It was decorated "BEAUTIFULLY" and when we went to eat it....IT WAS DELICIOUS. They just KNOW how to do cakes for birthdays and all occasions. I always say - they take me from "zero to hero" when I order my cakes from them!! Thanks again for a job well done!! Sandy M. Valparaiso, Indiana read more

Henze's Bakery certainly has amazing doughnuts. We are new to the area and used to chain doughnut places. We got a half dozen box with glaze doughnut, one of the open face cheese pastry (so good), custard fill, and an apple fritter. Very happy with the choices. Doughnuts were fresh and full of flavor. Prices are very reasonable too. Oh... one thing that was a huge plus for us is Henze's is open on Sunday. read more

very limited bakery, really just doughnuts and a few cookies. very simple.

I have been coming here since I was a child, even when it used to be Chuck's Bakery. This place is amazing. Their cake donuts are absolutely to die for! I will never be able to get enough of them, not in this lifetime anyways! :) read more

They are divine doughnuts at a fantastic price. Very friendly and nice. Very satisfied with the taste and texture of these creations.

Good doughnuts. Quick. A nice variety to choose from. The long johns are my favorite here. The glazed are good, but I don't think any place can compare to Krispy Kreme hot out of the oven. Nevertheless these are still very good and they open early. read more

I had a donut craving, and after checking out suggestions on Yelp, I decided to try out Henze's Bakery to satisfy the craving. It was an excellent decision. Henze's has a nice selection of donuts, pastries, and other confections. We tried the Long Johns, cannoli, caramel bacon donut, cinnamon bun with chocolate drizzle, cherry/cheese-filled turnover, toasted coconut donut, and cherry danish. It was all delicious. Henze's has a small seating area to enjoy treats there, but even the pastries that we took home stayed relatively fresh for a while. I'm also a sucker for good customer service, and so I was really pleased by the employee's willingness to answer questions and make recommendations. While it is perhaps a wee bit on the pricey side ($0.90 for a donut; $1.49 for the caramel bacon donut; $1.99 for cannoli), I would much rather give my money to a private business than to Dunkin Donuts, and in terms of freshness, Henze's has Dunkin beat hands down. All in all, this will certainly be my new go-to spot for delicious donuts in Valpo. read more

Great donuts and the prices are good too. Obviously better than Dunkin Donuts, and as much as I like Rise N Roll I do love a good old fashioned bakery. Definitely check them out! read more

Very nice staff and good doughnuts. Cakes are delicious as well. Just a good old fashioned Valpo bakery.

First time visitor and will be a repeat customer in the future... Maple roll -- AMAZING... finished it before I even left the parking lot... Nice little gem....!! read more

First timer here! (My friend actually brought me some and she frequents every week). The donut of the month- lemon blueberry, is TO DIE FOR! The apple Betty changed my life and the cheese Danish was amazing! I will definitely be stopping in to check it out for myself! read more

The donuts are average but good. Their atomic cake is amazing!

Terrible experience. If you want to spent $250 on a cake that lasts 5 minutes before imploding, try this place. Purchased a 2 tier cake for my daughter's birthday. Placed it on a flat surface for the ride home (5 minutes) and drove slowly. When we arrived at our home the entire cake had fallen in on itself. Contacted owner to inform them of situation and was met with rudeness all around. I didn't ask for a refund, just wanted to let them know what happened. She blamed it on bad road conditions and said I should have told her sooner. She was extremely rude from the start of the transaction. The party was within a half hour of picking up the cake. LOL! Never again. read more

I didn't think of myself as a Pastry kinda a guy. If I wasn't, Henze's have made me into a convert. ALL their Pastries are unbelievable ‼

My two boys and I visited this bakery last week. It was okay. We tried a few different items. I was disappointed that they didn't have any type of bread available, because I was hoping to pick up a loaf to go with our dinner that night. We purchased a smiley face cookie, a dozen butter cookies, two chocolate donuts, a cherry cheese fried pocket, and a baked cheese pocket. My son liked the chocolate donuts, but none of us were fond of the butter cookies. The pockets were okay, but nothing I'd drive out of my way for. I was a little disappointed because we love trying new bakeries, and when I find one I like, I'm willing to drive a little further to visit again. Unfortunately, I may stop by if I'm in the area, but I won't make a special trip. read more
