A taste of UP Michigan. I was able to catch my first pasty straight from the oven. So flaky, so steamy. Loaded with potatoes and a taste meat and onions. Some may not like that ratio, but was a perfect lining to my stomach for a long haul. I passed over all the fresh sugar bomb carbs, until I came across the brown mystery bag. Sugar toast was all I needed to hear to know that's what I wanted to nibble on for the next couple of hours. Crunch, crunch, CRUNCH! I just let it dissolve in my mouth. I would need a monthly dentist visit if I ate this everyday...and more cardio in my life. read more

I went here a few weeks ago while skiing and had my first pastie. Holy cow the jalapeño was outta this world. I just ordered a dozen assorted pasties to be shipped for family reunion in SC. Wendy was a huge help. Can't wait to introduce my family to the best pasties! read more

I have made it a point to stop here again on other occasions. Even if it was "out of the way." I had called one morning to see if they had any of those whipped cream donuts - they didn't, but they offered to make some for me to pick up later! read more

OUR FAMILY LOVE RANDALL's!!! Pasties, Paczkis (Fat Tuesday), prune danish, apricot danish, butter roll, coconut twist, glazed, fritters (best with maple icing), best potato rolls and hamburger buns anywhere. Anadama bread, wild rice cranberry bread too, special breads usually need a special order, unless you're lucky enough to catch a loaf on the counter. Z's Family Market carries some of Randall's items. read more

Delicious Cornish pasty. Good prices. Great selection of bakery. Friendly staff. I would definitely go again. read more

Best authentic pasties in Upper Michigan, handmade with fresh ingredients and baked daily, new tray every 45 minutes - if you wait they'll even create custom flavors for you. We LOVE Randall's baked goods (pasties, butter cookies, doughnuts, etc), their super-friendly attitude, the local's conversations - everything about it. It's the way pasties and small diners used to be, and why it's been around 78 years. read more

The best pasties & anything pastry! We always order the Cornish pasty as we love rutabaga

Still looking for a pasty better than Randall's. Wait! I found one, here at Randall's. Worth the 177 miles drive.

Great bakery in Wakefield, that you have to patronize. The woman there the two days we went is super nice. They have bread, pastries and pasties. Everything was fresh and delicious. read more

I agree with prior reviews. Randall Bakery is a gem in a small town in the Upper Peninsula. There's not much else in Wakefield, but if you're driving by, I'd stop in and grab a pasty to go. Otherwise, they have your usual baked goods and diner coffee. I had a breakfast pasty first and it was really good. I don't eat a ton of breakfast pasties, but this one was definitely enjoyable eating outside my car in the parking lot. As for the regular pasty, I heated a frozen one in my oven and it passed about every test outside of not having a crimped handle. I could've used a touch more crust - a handle would help - but otherwise, the pasty was great. They also have a variety of options, but I believe they change by the day. read more

The. Best. Pasties. EVER. Whether you get them fresh there, or order the frozen ones to take home and cook, the pasties here are so incredibly good they've ruined pasties from anywhere else for us. While the innards of the pasties at other highly regarded places in the Upper Peninsula are pretty much the same as the ones here, there's just no contest on the crust. It's got that Goldilocks just-right combination of crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and just a teensy bit doughy in the middle. Not too thin, not too thick. Definitely the culinary highlight of our recent visit to my in-laws. I'd be willing to drive pretty significantly out of my way to get these pasties every time we're in the UP. Generally, the in-laws who live just over the border in Wisconsin save us the trip by stocking up whenever they are in town. read more

Great pasties! Friendly service! Very convenient for us! Love that they will do a vegetarian pastie if I call ahead!

Don't believe the "takeout only"...walked in and received great customer service...and then I bit into my pastie!!! Oh my Wherever you are coming from, it is worth the drive to come here. And, they even give you preprinted instructions to prepare your breakfast pastie the next day. read more

While passing through Wakefield I decided to drive through the downtown (always worth doing when passing these small towns with historic building) and I spotted this bakery with "pasties" advertised. Stealing a page off of Martin Stern I've been doing my own little U.P. pasty tour (where you randomly get an pasty and then assign it a place in you're ranking system). I walked in at the right time, because there was just one person ahead of me, but a half dozen in line shortly after (and only 3 pasties warming in the glass case). I got a pasty and a oatmeal cookie, and the cookie was above average, but the pasty just took the #1 spot in my personal U.P. pasty rankings! To be fair I've only had 6-7 pasties thus far, but this was my favorite one yet, and it wasn't a hard decision, so I imagine The Randall Bakery could hold this spot for a while. What really made this pasty superior to others was the perfect balance of ingredient, and by far the best crust) nicely uniform lightness, whereas many of the others are too doughy, especially in some spot). Maybe it will be held for over fifty years like George Sisler's record for hits by a right handed batter until Kirby Puckett's 1988 season where he had an incredible 234 hits and batted .356 (all by memory this info can be found on the 1989 Puckett Donruss card). read more

We were from out of town and stopped for our first pasties. They were wonderful and the staff was very kind. Everything was very reasonably priced. read more

If I could give this place more stars I would! Kolaches are killer, raspberry turnovers are to die for, and the cannolis? Magic. This place is a hidden gem for sure! I just regret not getting a pastie read more

THIS is the place! The pasties are the first thing I deliver to a new neighbor, recommend to visitors and often a quick dinner at my house! Don't worry if it's early and you're in town breakfast ones are available. The sweet treats are good on any day that ends in day and special occasions at our house will always be celebrated next to one of their cakes! (white cake, w/ raspberry and buttercream-you're welcome in advance) read more

Stopped here for lunch..a Pasty of course! Plus I also purchased a couple chocolate chunk cookies. The pasty was hot. Really hot. I had to wait a bit to try it. The meat and potatoes inside were delicious. Not at all dry. The cookies were great too. A little gem in the middle of no where! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent pasty and bakery. Our favorite spot in Gogebic county. I grew up in Bessemer so I have had a lot of experience with all the shops. The crust is flaky and the pasty is not greasy. read more

A trip back in time to deliciousness! The Cornish pasty with all the stuffing: meat, potato, carrot, onion and rutabaga. Are you a gravy or ketchup person? Or ketchup + sriracha? Enjoyed this quintessential Yooper treat. Keep up the good work! read more

Randall Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Wakefield, Michigan

Great "Cornish" pasty. Flavorful, flakey crust, and pretty much a true Yooper "Finnish" pasty. A nice beef/pork mix with good size chunks of rutabaga, carrots, and potatoes. Also the Cardamom "dunking" toast is really good! Covered with butter it is better than the cinnamon/sugar variety. This place is a must stop restaurant/bakery when in the Sunday Lake area. read more

This place is great and has amazing food. Me and my family love going there and most of all of the food is for a GREAT price. They have delicious cookies for just 60 cents! They also have great pasties that are really, really, good. It also has great donuts. I highly recommend it and you usually don't have to wait long at all for your food. read more

We stopped at Randall's bakery on a bit of a whim while looking for a place to grab lunch. We all agreed that the pasties that we had were perhaps the best we've ever had. The waitress, Mel, was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend this bakery. Clearly one of the best in the north!! read more

Just completed a 2.5 week stint all over the UP. Tried maybe 8 pasty joints.... THIS PLACE ROCKED. Loved their Cornish pasty with added ketchup and hot sauce. Best pasties in the UP!!!!! read more

Youbetcha!! Pasties (pass-tees) If you don't know, then ask the folks at the visitor center by the big indian sculpture and they will back me up. These are the best!! Stop by on your way to/from Da Porkies. Limited daily supply of course...they sell out read more

I'm 55 now and have been coming to Randall's for Pastys for 40+ years. It's by far the best ones on the face of the earth. My folks were from here and my Uncle lived in Wakefield. I used to help him farm during the summers while I was in high school. Within minutes , we'd find a way to get to Randall's for Pastys, and Bakery. It would be our last stop on the way home to get some for the ride home back to Milwaukee and fill up the cooler with frozen Pastys for the winter. read more

the quality is 2nd to none! Potato buns, Pasties, cream filled bismarks, the glazed donuts just a few of my favorite things. I miss being able to grab any of these on any day. read more

I stopped here to grab a Pasty. I choose the Cornish Pasty! Great crust, caramelization on bottom and meat,potatoes, onion, rutabaga was evenly distributed. Awesome job read more

If you're traveling in the western U.P. you won't want to miss this place. We had our first pasties here and they were OUT OF THIS WORLD. If the Cornish pastie is available, go with that. Cookies and turnover also A+. read more

Hands-down the best pasties you will ever eat. From the tender lardy crust to the perfectly seasoned filling with expertly proportioned potatoes and beef, it doesn't get better than this. I also had a cherry turnover, which was above-average and the filling was clearly not from a can. I was informed by both another customer and the proprietor that they were already out of everything good (~11:00 saturday morning) so next time I'll go earlier and get the even better stuff. This is a do-not-miss for future trips to the western UP. Skip the coffee. read more

My mom is from Wakefield. I grew up coming to the U.P about once a year. This is an old, un-renovated 50's style bakery. Full if locals, they make marvelous apple fritters, eclairs, cream puffs, and streusels. They make my favorite pasties. I hope it never closes. Randall Bakery is a home-town delight. read more
