We grabbed a few donuts and hit the road. We had two long johns, a maple thingy and a glazed chocolate. When we arrived home an hour and a half later, we decided it was the perfect time for a sweet treat. All four donuts were delicious. It took me three days to eat my donut; it was still good on day three.

Great local donut spot! If you're having a cranky morning, a box of donuts from Cranky Al's Donuts…read morewill absolutely cheer you up. I stopped by to pick up donuts for clinic and stumbled across this place--so glad I did. They offer a wide variety of donuts (as you can probably tell from all the photos), and everything looked fresh and tempting. Parking is street parking only, and mornings can get busy, so plan accordingly--or just park a little farther down the street. You can also save time by ordering online. Bonus: the breakfast burrito is pretty good too. They also offer gluten-free donuts, which is a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend Cranky Al's for the fun ambiance and quick, delicious donuts. There isn't much seating, but it's a great spot to grab a treat for yourself or for the whole team.

I've been following their journey for a while now--completely obsessed with their creatively shaped…read moremacarons! This shop is such a gem, offering classic bakery staples, delicious macarons, and fun, bakery-themed items. I especially love their "kindness coupons"--such a thoughtful gesture for anyone who could use a little treat. I attended one of their macaron classes, and while I don't know what their kitchen looked like before, it had been fully transformed into a student-friendly workspace with stations set up for each group. After signing in, you're directed to your station and handed an apron. The spots are semi-assigned--if you booked with a friend or a small group, Kasey does a great job placing you together. Everything you need is laid out and ready to go. Kasey walks you through the whole process, checking in along the way and sharing helpful tips she's picked up throughout her macaron-making journey. You and your partner split the batter, but you each get to do your own mixing, choose your colors, and pipe your own shells, which makes it a really hands-on experience. While the macarons are baking, you're treated to sweet bites like brownies or crispy rice treats. Once the macarons have cooled, you fill, package, and--of course--sneak a few tastes along the way. The whole class is so fun, approachable, and well-paced. Afterward, you even get the chance to take home some bakery goodies at a discount! I absolutely love their bakery items, and the class was such a blast. Can't wait to go back!

Date of visit: January 26, 2024…read more Our January version of "Coffee & Kringle" brought us to Batter and Mac in the Falls. A friend had heard that they had gotten some flack from the local Republicans for being pro-LGBT and that was enough for us to go pay them a visit. Staff were wonderful and friendly, even suggesting that I get the Wicked-themed matcha latte with strawberry cold foam, something that I did not think I would necessarily like, but she pushed it hard and you know what? She was right! It was a delicious drink that I may or may not have licked the lid to ensure I got all of the cold foam... My ham and cheese croissant was quite good, though I think it would have been better had it been warmed up. And then I went back for a Scotcheroo and that was fantastic. I had intended to just have a bite that morning and finish it later but there was no way I could do that, I ended up eating the entire thing while we were visiting. Outside of the room temp croissant, the reason for four stars instead of five here is because the bakery gets VERY cold everytime the door opens, I probably should have kept my coat on the whole time we were there. I think one of those ceiling-mounted air units would help mitigate this and get me to stay a bit longer (and order more food!) in the colder months.

Aggie's is a fun, hip bakery and cake shop that been around for a really long time. I was excited to finally try a "cake shop" although I didn't get cake on this trip, I would try another time! There's a great seating area, a nice display of all the baked good made fresh that morning, and an opportunity to grab a cup of coffee too. I had asked the person working behind the display what their most popular baked goods were and I was met with silence and then a "everything is good." I was slightly peeved by my interaction here and didn't let it fully deter my review of the baked goods themselves. I had the apple dumpling after seeing decent reviews about it on Yelp. The pastry wasn't at all flaky or buttery but rather hard and biscuit-like. Maybe I went in with the wrong expectation of what an apple dumpling was but it wasn't what I had wanted exactly. It leaned more sweet and glaze heavy than it did cinnamon spice. Overall, would recommend checking out Aggie's for their longstanding history in the Milwaukee area. It just wasn't for me!

Naturally, I expressed concern and asked further questions. At that point, another employee became hostile and demanded that I leave the store. To be clear, my demeanor remained calm and professional throughout the exchange. The employee's reaction was completely unprovoked and appeared to be an attempt to deflect from what I believe are unacceptable practices within this location. When I requested donuts that had not been microwaved, I was given ones that were rock hard. After asking for a refund, my request was initially denied. When I asked for the manager's name and the employees' names, I was refused this information and ultimately issued a cash refund instead of a refund to my original payment method. I was also told never to return. This entire experience was offensive and unprofessional. After later reviewing customer ratings for this location, I was shocked to see that my experience aligns with many others who have reported similar mistreatment. It's troubling that a location with such a reputation continues to operate in this manner. My family and I have been loyal Dunkin' customers for years, but this incident was so negative that I genuinely question whether we can continue to support the brand. I hope this message is taken seriously--not only for my sake but for the integrity of the Dunkin' brand as a whole. Please investigate this matter and take appropriate corrective action. I'm sharing this feedback in good faith to help improve your customer experience and uphold the standards that Dunkin' has long represented.
