This bakery was smaller than I thought, but everything was made nice and rich. Almond horns were my favorite item here. It was crispy and yumm. Hand dipped turtle was another excellent item. Apple pie alps and Anise springerli were interesting items to try. A lot more things in the display looked delicious, but I resisted the urge. read more

I was here back in 2022 from Boston. We spent the day in New Glarus. Working in the bakery business over 30 years I'm always interested in trying out the local small bakeries. They made the BEST rasberry linzer bars I've ever had in my life! We tried a number of different things from there and they were all absolutely fresh and delicious. I have a co-worker who was traveling to Wisconsin to visit family and I recommended your bakery. She brought me back a box of the raspberry linzer square all the way from New Glarus. They were as amazing as I remember. I went online to try and have them shipped but was told they would get damaged in transport. Truth be told I'd be happy even if the were broken in pieces, I'd just grab a fork and eat it out of the box Highly recommend!!! read more

This is the third time I have purposely driven through Southern WI just to go to New Glarus and the New Glarus Bakery. Everything is delicious! Love the apple fritters, rum balls and orange blossoms. Staff has always been super friendly too. read more

You must stop here when visiting New Glarus. Great service always. The smell of fresh bakery goods and coffee keeps you comung back. My favorite are the nut logs, cherry puffs, cookies, breads, cheese cakes, oh I cant decide. Im sorry no picture this time. You really have ro see for yourself. read more

After some biking riding on the great nearby trails we decided to stop into town to see how they were surviving Covid. We were excited to see a few shops open including the bakery so we went in. The display cases were still well stocked given it was late in the day (a sign perhaps that business is slow?). I selected a peanut square which was good but a bit dry and not what I remember from my younger days in Milwaukee. I also got a chunk of the bee sting cake for later - it was pricey but excellent. That center of cream is wonderful. We also picked up a donut-like pastry with a maple filling that was quite good. So why just three stars given the good eats? Neither of the young workers were wearing masks! State mandate or not as a business serving the public the owners should be enforcing mask wearing by their staff during this times. Perhaps they deserve just one star! read more

New Glarus Bakery - Beesting cake in upper right. Pricey but delicious - Bakeries Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

My husband and I visit this bakery every time we are in Wisconsin and they never disappoint on doughnuts. My husband loves the chocolate with vanilla cream filled doughnuts and I must agree, they are fabulous. You can call or use their website to order ahead of time, which I highly recommend to ensure they have what you want when you arrive. Pricing is fair and the staff are always welcoming. If you like baked goods, definitely give this place a try. Thanks! read more

Stopped here a month or two ago and forgot to publish. I got a caramel apple fritter, plus 2 rhubarb bars for my parents, plus a turtle, and some apple bread. Everything was very good. The rhubarb bars were tart and my dad said the turtle was delicious. From what I heard, the apple bread was moist and delicious. I wasn't around for that but I got it for the grandkids and my mom when the grandkids were visiting her. The one drawback is what I got for myself. The fritter was not that great. It had some caramel icing but the fritter itself didn't have a glaze or anything in addition so it was fairly dry. Next time I'm through the area, I'll probably try it again as everything else seemed very good. read more

Yay for sugar! The New Glarus Bakery is a cute little shop with pies, cookies, cheesecakes, cakes, etc.  They even have dog biscuits. There's something for everyone.   I kept eyeing the turtle cheesecake until my husband said we needed to get a piece.  They're huge square pieces, so it's probably best to share with someone.  It was thick and rich and delicious.   My husband got 2 peanut butter cookies, and said they were pretty good.  I got a couple of pocket cookies and didn't care for them.  I did sort of like the croquette cookie.  I wish I'd tried some other desserts, because they looked awesome, but we bought enough!   We only paid $9 for everything we bought. Not bad at all! read more

Every time I walk in I get a rush of nostalgia from all the years growing up (from infancy to now). I remember visiting with my relatives to get the best darned hard Swiss bread and chocolate tart. They used to have a tea room up above but that has been gone for a while. Loved sitting up there with my Grandmother and drinking orange spiced tea and having a cream horn. If you are in the area, DO NOT pass this place up. read more

Purchased an eclair since there was a sign in the door celebrating today as "National Eclair Day." I took one bite into it to instantly realize it had been frozen. When I brought it to their attention and told them the custard was frozen inside with ice crystals, there was no offer to give me another item. Instead, the girl tried to say it was just chilled in the case. It wasn't until I pinned her down that she admitted they were baked on a previous day and taken out of the freezer. So frustrating! A good bakery doesn't pull baked items out of their freezer, put them in a case, and sell them as if they were baked that morning. We won't return. read more

Small, but oh so mighty. We stopped in on a recommendation from a friend, and it was the best decision we made. The worst decision we made was not finding the time to come back here to get more treats before we went home! The place is relatively small, but they had a really good variety of baked goods, from chocolate brownies to coffee cream cake to crispy and savory bread sticks. They also had coffee and hot tea for sale, but we stuck to the sweets! We ordered an almond horn, cream horn, and a "bee sting." The prices were pretty good as well, and we could have (and SHOULD HAVE) ordered more goodies. Almond Horn - This was a pretty good horn. I think it just paled in comparison to our other purchases. It was flaky and light, and was a solid pastry horn. Cream Horn - The cream. Let me repeat. THE CREAM. This is by far the BEST cream horn we had ever had, and it almost all comes down to the decadent cream inside. Sure, the flaky and crispy pastry was the perfect vessel, but its the copious amounts of lightly sweet, super silky, melt-in-your-mouth cream that stole the show. AMAZING. Bee Sting - I'm done. This was so good I just can't stand that we don't live closer to this glorious little bakery that could. The top is a honey-almond topping, the middle is a THICK layer of buttercream, and the bottom is some sort of yellow cake. I couldn't believe the buttercream on this thing. The layer was so thick that I was a little worried at first, because buttercream can be cloyingly sweet sometimes, but this one was sheer perfection. It melted in our mouths, revealing a slightly sweet, lightly buttery flavor that was just unmatched by anything. It even beat the cream horn cream! It was that good. We were unbelievably impressed by this little town bakery, and would highly recommend that you stop by if you are anywhere close to New Glarus. You will NOT leave unsatisfied. read more

Danishes were fine but the nut horns were amazing. Much layered goodness but I wish they were bigger so I could have more in one.

Stopped in here while in town. Everything looked wonderful and there was an amazing selection. Bought several sweetrolls, all of which were delicious. read more

I guess I had kind of high expectations, everything was pretty ok. Some of the bread and stuff was very eggy if you like that. The Anise (licorice) cookies were definitely the kind of unique Swiss thing I was hoping to try and it didn't disappoint. The place feels very ancient and homey which I did like quite a bit! read more

Cute little bakery in the middle of New Glarus - they have doughnuts, cakes & cookies as well as some Swiss/German specialties like aniseed cookies. We tried a cream horn (delicious flaky pastry with a sweet cream filling) and took home some M&M cookies. Ok, most of the cookies didn't actually make it home because they were pretty tasty. If you don't have a sweet tooth, they also bake fresh bread and even sell homemade pretzels. read more

Typically a friend of mine will make my cakes for a 3 person birthday bash we have. This year I decided that I wanted something really special. My BF and I both turned 55 this year. I took several months to really make a decision on a bakery. I had a picture of what I was looking for. The trouble started when I ordered the cakes. Yes, 2 cakes. One was yellow/chocolate marble with butter cream frosting. Hunting or fishing related, let the decorator have fun with it. Other was white with butter cream frosting. Purple with purple roses in various shades of purple. Lady who took the order just couldn't get my instructions straight. Because the birthdays are in July, I asked that the cakes be frozen so we could get them home and into the refrigerator. 1. Cakes were NOT frozen as requested. 2. The cakes were not frosted in butter cream. More on this later. 3. The hunting/fishing related one was frosted in white with orange trim with just piped squiggles in camo colors. Not much of an imagination there. 4. When we got the purple one home, the roses on the top had started sliding off!!!! I had to fix it. That is when it was discovered that the frosting was NOT butter cream. I called the bakery and told them how disappointed I was with both the frosting and the lack of imagination on the sheet cake and that the flowers had started sliding off. She told me some freaking story about how their butter cream frosting was light and fluffy. Nope, not buying that but it was too late to do anything about it. After sending an email explaining my disappointment, I get a long letter from the owner or the owner's daughter explaining how I obviously am new to the area or I would know that their butter cream has been carefully honed to perfection.....USING CUSTARD!!!!!!!!!!!! At that point it is no longer butter cream. Period. Had I known? I NEVER EVER would have ordered cakes there. I HATE CUSTARD. Guess what? I have lived all of 8 of my 55 years in this area AND my grandmother made wedding and other cakes for over 40 years. I know what butter cream frosting should taste like. NGB.....whatever you put on my cakes was not butter cream. Period! Of the 30 some people in and out of the party, not one person had anything good to say about the cake. The hunting/fishing one was at least a bit moist. The purple one was so dry you couldn't even pick it up with a fork. $80 for 2 cakes and 1 was completely inedible and the other.....not much better. Birthday parties are all about the cake....This was the worst cake ever and I will never ever order a cake again without having some discussion with a bakery about what their butter cream frosting tastes like! read more

Why oh why did I only get one donut?! It was so hot during Oktoberfest this year, so chocolates and cheesecake were out of the question for transporting back 2.5 hours home. I'm usually very leery of cream-filled donuts since the filling can be...questionable. But it was only $1.15, and I knew it could sustain the heat for a little while. Once in the car with the AC on, I took a bite and was in love. The fiance agreed! The cream filling is way more decadent than other donuts we've had. The texture was wonderful, and the caramel added the perfect touch of flavor and sweetness. I had bought a yummy apple treat from there a couple years ago and quickly devoured it. Their cheesecakes look so so good. I need to bring ice packs next time so I can bring more home! read more

If I were a poet I'd write Ode on a Morning Bun. They combine the best elements of a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun without nuts. Instead of the white icing they have hot sugar syrup poured over them. Unique for me at least. She also makes the best breadsticks I've ever had. Crunchy, buttery, salty. Wonderful stuff. There are a lot of things we have to go to Madison for but not baked goods. They also have coffee, cocoa and lattes etc but since I walk there I'm usually carrying mine so no experience with those read more

So if you're driving through the area on a big south central Wisconsin road trip, you gotta stop here. This is a super cute bakery which sells many tempting goodies. Back in the day when all the kids graduated from high school your party was considered "cool" if your cake came from the New Glarus bakery. My brothers cake came from there, mine on the other hand was home made cupcakes, since I was a baker in the making. So if you want to be "cool", order a cake from the New Glarus bakery and be sure to get their raspberry filing to really impress everyone. read more

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BUISNESS! 10/10 on authentic Swiss cookies. I spent hours online trying to find a Swiss bakery that specializes in and SHIPS Bratzelis and was NOT disappointed when I finally got my order from New Glarus Bakery yesterday! I have literally already eaten 5 dozen and want to order more ASAP! I am blown away. My Swiss immigrant Grandmother passed away a few years ago and my family has been agonizing every Christmas over not being able to replicate her Bratzelis. I am so incredibly thankful this authentic bakery exists and that it ships nationwide! read more

I visited this place after sampling all the New Glarus beer that the Beer, Bacon, and Cheese fest had to offer. I mean, come on, it's hard not to sample the delicious beer of the same name as the town. About 92% sure that the beer didn't cloud my judgement, but I'm thinking every item this bakery produces is tasty. We got a tub of chocolate cookie dough, and I'm telling you, it made some of the best goddamned cookies I've ever eaten. The dough rose upwards during the baking, and it was really freaking delicious. Can't comment on prices because I don't remember. I do remember, however, tasty cookies. And walking out like I just won the fire bet. Make sure to take a beer break and visit this bakery in the awesome little town of New Glarus. read more

Loved this bakery . It's fairly small in the inside . Everything' was very fresh tasting . Glad I made the stop in !!

New Glarus Bakery - Linzer Bars...DELICIOUS. - Bakeries Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

Love this unpretentious popular bakery, located right next to the ever popular Glarner Stube. I was so delighted I got some treats to wade me through the long wait at Glarner Stube. There are treats for all ages, and everyone found things they liked. There's usually a line, but the wait is not long at all. I personally really enjoy the original nut horn. It is coated with a nice sugar cover, but not too sweet. The pastry is rather thin, like a flaky pastry. And best of all, its filled with a nutty inside. A little like pecan pie, but not as sticky and sweet. I also tried the sticky bun. It is definitely a steal at $1.75! I like the pastry that is not too thick. Kinda like a cinnamon bun, but with nuts on top! My friend also liked the cookies and bought a pound to share with everyone! Great for party snacks! I definitely will stop by again if I pass by New Glarus. And, if you're hungry at Glarner Stube, remember to get some tasty pastries!! read more

First, let me say that I've been to Switzerland, Germany, & France. I've eaten a LOT of great food, including pastries. I'm also a baking enthusiast...I haven't made anything from a box in over a decade. I walked in here thinking if I was going to blow my low-carb diet, let's really make it count. What a let-down! Blueberry scones were dry and had ZERO flavor. No blueberry flavor, no sugar flavor, no butter flavor. Tasted like a dry mouthful of nothing, and had a gelatinous, gummy ooze on top that I found disturbing when biting into it. That's coming from a person who is not 'texture sensitive.' The texture was off too like dough had been overworked. I'm an adventurous eater, which is why I took 3 small bites to be absolutely sure how I felt about this scone. I fed the rest to my dogs because clearly there wasn't much sugar in this pastry. If hubs doesn't eat the rest of them I'll give them to the birds. Tried an almond nut horn. It was really dry too. Almond flavor was barely there, and again, no butter flavor in the pastry. Helpful hint: if you're going to be chintzy with the fillings, at least have the decency to make the pastry around it taste AMAZING. The bräzeli weren't very crispy and the flavor was ehh/OK. I wonder if wrapping them in cellophane instead of plastic would keep them from going so soft? Maybe they do this because you're supposed to take them home and finish baking them? I've made Norwegian krumkake before and this Swiss cookie is similar in concept. Not sure what the point is of NGB going to all the trouble to make bräzeli if you aren't going to leave them in the iron long enough to give them that beautiful golden color that showcases the intricate patterns of the cookie iron. My entire bag of bräzeli was lily-white and looked like a glorified communion wafer. Do a Google Image Search for the word "Bräzeli" and you'll see what they're supposed to look like. They're golden. The mini apricot turnover things were decent, and my favorite thing of the 4 items I tried. The only thing that saved them was that they were rolled in powdered sugar. They had the proper texture that I was expecting from the scones. There wasn't quite enough apricot filling to balance the amount of pastry it was rolled in. Maybe add another 1/4 teaspoon and they'd be much better. As an experienced baker I get compliments on my stuff all the time. The only conclusion I've come to is that this place uses the flavorless vegetable shortening instead of real butter to save money. Where the heck is all the moisture and the flavor??? The salesgirl wasn't much of a salesperson. She didn't greet my group until a few minutes after we walked in. Then she quietly stood there with a faint smile and waited for me to take the lead of telling her what I wanted. She didn't make any recommendations or suggestions. Rule #1 of sales: find out what your customer is looking for and sell it to them. Repeat. Maybe I'm letting my business-owner brain critique this experience too much. Maybe the gal is super shy. She's probably a baker who simply knew how to operate the cash register. I feel like the 100+ year-old bakery is using old recipes from pioneer days when butter and sugar were scarce & expensive luxuries and the original settlers had to make do with what they had. In Europe, pastry is made like they're serving it to royalty. That's why it's so renowned. I think the main reason why NGB is still around is because folks drive out for festivals or the brewery and then say, "Huh, we drove all the way out here. Now what?" Then someone says, "Well, there's a bakery." The prices are reasonable but who cares? I'd pay a LOT more if the goods tasted a LOT better. Driving through the hilly back roads around here reminds me so much of my time in Switzerland. Too bad the bakery items taste nothing like they do in The Motherland. As a tiny village that relies heavily on tourism, New Glarus businesses need to offer something really fantastic to lure people to drive out here and spend their money. The brewery is doing exactly that. I know the 2 business aren't comparable but still...they could establish a symbiotic business relationship if the bakery's product was just as great as the brewery's. The bakery needs to give tourists something decadent and amazing to soak up all the beer samples they just drank. Then those tourists will bring extra treats home and rave about them to their friends. Unfortunately, the flavor just isn't there...which I suppose you can get away with if you're catering to people whose taste buds have been deadened by alcohol. Maybe the cheese bread or the apple fritter are better than the 4 things I tried...I sincerely doubt I'll come back to find out. The next time I blow my diet with baked goodies it'll be somewhere in Madison instead. I'll happily pay more because I know it will taste delicious. *Giving a bonus star because I'm Swiss, I used to live in New Glarus as a child, and I'm sentimental about this village. read more

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!! Rock-bottom, bargain-basement prices! Cream cheese brownies were so good that we had to come back the next day and buy more! Nut horn--phenomenal! Strawberry/Rhubarb bars--to die for. Lucky we don't live here--I'd weigh 400 pounds. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! And please give these folks your business--they deserve it! read more

This is an update to a previous review in which I shared a bad experience I had at the NGB. The owner contacted me in regard to my review and whenever an owner takes the time to write it tells me that someone is listening and gets an improved rating. I have been assured that what I experienced was an issue for a short time but has been corrected. For this I am thankful because I have always liked the bakery here. My favorites are the croissants and unique cookies that you cannot find anywhere else nearby. read more

well worth the 30 mile bike ride down to New Glarus to make the stop at the NG Bakery. Monday's special- Rhubarb Bars for 1.55. A great value, very fresh and deelish. They also have many traditional Swiss bakery items, all of which are authentic and tasty. We have been there several times, and always have seasonal specials. read more

A great little bakery. They were very kind and helpful. I wish they sold sandwiches, though. We ended up buying sandwich bread and going across the street and putting together a lunch with cheese and sausage. I would have loved a bigger menu. read more

I hope the Green County health department closes this place down. Did not follow health mandate. They have no hand sanitizer for people to use after using their touch screen. Rude staff. Over priced. After someone pointed out to me their disgusting behavior, I trashed almost $20 worth of product. What a rip off. I would rather get a colonoscopy without anesthesia than to ever go here again. read more

I can not remember a bakery who believe they are worth the prices they charge. Must have been that little mention on a tv show that swelled their heads! $2.50 apeice for a nuthorn?! They are so small. It might be different if they were bigger than 2 bites.Spend your money more wisely nextdoor at the sausage shop. This bakery isn"t worth the price you pay for what you get. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My father has been a loyal customer of this bakery and would get each of his children a stollen every year. We got the stollen and looked foward to consuming it. Imagine our disappointment at the dried out stollen with none of the flavor of butter or kirsch....nothing like the stollen of years past. Truthfully I get a better stollen at Aldi's or Trader Joe's. For $20 I will get a Racine kringle before I take another chance on one of these dried out loaves of stollen. This is upsetting as in years past it was a go to WI made gift. Sad. read more

Cute bakery but everything was a tad bit too dry for my tastes. I got a freshly baked apple bread which was in desperate need of a toaster oven and some butter to spread on it. I guess if you live in the area it's a nice little bakery to get freshly baked breads and pastries. However, since we were just passing through, it's not really worth the stop. read more

We used to love this place, but my last trip here was my last. The service was terrible. I wanted an assortment of ethnic cookies- I was instead rushed into taking a pre-made box that was mostly frosted tea cookies. The prices aren't even posted. Crabby counter help. The now $25 dollar stollen was dry. Not worth the money I spent. read more
