Delicious but be there at a lucky time, or your faves might have to wait til they're able to accommodate baking a fresh batch; especially my absolute favourite cannolis (originally from the mid-Atlantic seaboard...they are Italian-standard in all aspects, not a bank-breaker at all (they're 2.50 a pop and that's at minimum a non-meaty, yet fatty, whipped to perfection in pastry glory, freakin' 550-700 calories (as a short little guy weighing 155 lb that can be a half days' meal or more if busy/ end of month lol- so gimme a break phony Italians- go to MickeeDees and spend two fifty on some mystery meat if that be your preference or TorontoTims eight day faux American Apple Fritz 'al dente con brio' (break ya teeth off so strong it's a rock) if ya have dental insurance in America ha - go to the corner store, like you'd see in old Baltimore or The Main Line of Philly (a little chit chat - stir up some questions of what the server likes - they're busy as heck, remember, so the bustle and normal well oiled ha business "unaesthetic ambience" is actually very well kept for staff issues (this is the display case part of the store we're reviewing after all) and reminds me of places on the Jersey Shore on the off-season- locals' tell ya by foot where to go for starting a nice day! And the neighborhood is urban commercial/industrial 2 if I'm right, ya know, not yuppie stuff - so very organic small maritime city with many layers of history: Franco-Ottowah, Mid-Atlantic swarthy Irish/Mediterranean/Balkan, Great Migration Success Story, and your unique Netherlandy people too. All hungry and at the mercy of the big orders of the day! That's a good small business for you. Four stars to make it clear you can park in the gravel "employee" lot if you're poor at streetwise parking. Easy fix and it's a 5-er! Evan Kearney (ÓCaernaigh) read more

Ryke's Bakery - I better spruce up & hit the gas, for some more of these or cannoli for Mr. Kearney (ÓCaernaigh) 'ere. - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

The service at the Grand Haven store is appalling. I recently ordered what I believed was a regular cake with buttercream frosting, which is what I have always received in the past. Normally I get a sheet cake, but they didn't have any, so they told me they were giving me a 7 inch round When I picked it up, it was in a sealed box, so I didn't discover until I got home that the cake had a hard chocolate coating rather than just the plain buttercream frosting I had expected. When I called the store simply to understand what had happened, the woman I spoke with was argumentative and dismissive. She repeatedly told me that that cake "always comes that way" and that I "should have known." I explained that I had never received it that way before and had every reason to believe I was ordering the same traditional cake with buttercream frosting that I had purchased previously since that's what I had asked for in my phone conversation to order the cake. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of courtesy. I wasn't asking for a refund or anything for free--I simply wanted to understand why I had received something different from what I thought I had ordered. A simple, "I'm sorry there was a misunderstanding," would have been more than sufficient. Instead, what should have been a very simple conversation became unnecessarily unpleasant. The cake was disappointing, but the customer service was far worse. read more

The pastries are good but the service is very rude. I have never felt welcomed there at all. It's kind of a bummer because the donuts taste so good. read more

Very disappointed in the cake i ordered. i called the cake hotline and described what I wanted. I specifically wanted roses on it. I had her read back the order to me and it was correct. No roses when I picked it up. Also you are getting skimpy with the frosting On the cupcakes. I have been ordering cakes from Rykes for fifty years and this is the first time I was disappointed. read more

Just wonderful great service we are from out of town looking for donuts and boy. Did they have them didn't have a cake, but it looked incredible. read more

Everyone here is very nice! I like to come in and read before work and have a donut some mornings. It's a calm and welcoming environment and I really like coming here plus their donuts are so amazing!! read more

The food here is amazing. The staff is very kind and helpful. But if you're looking for a dozen donuts you better use the app days in advance or get there shortly after they open. But that's a credit to how good they are read more

Poor service. Old donuts. Questionable customer service. Came highly recommended. I was not impressed. read more

Tables and floor are still dirty. On a separate note, there is an emerging cannoli market in the area. I wish they would make cannolis on demand and custom. read more

Ryke's Bakery - Empty napkin holders in the background, and dirty table. - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

Good selection but not great. The custard filled was fantastic, other 4 items were good. Generic setting / ambiance

A few years later, I had a great experience there (today)! I stopped in for a menu item that I love, it was no longer on the menu but they offered to make it for me from scratch right on the spot! They were so friendly and helpful and I had a great vegetable & dill salad that was super fresh and tasty ! read more

Food was great but customer service was not good at all. Both my wife & I brought our 3 year old daughter to the bakery on separate occasions to get a cookie and eat it there. Both times an older lady who works there said along the lines of "glad that's over" while glaring at my daughter as we were leaving. Both times my daughter was not loud, was well behaved & we cleaned our table up. Will not be going back. read more

I have enjoyed Ryke's cakes since I was young. I remember it always being a special cake when we had family birthdays and graduations. Beautiful decorating and they taste amazing. Just ordered my wedding cake from them! read more

Cute, small place with great service. They were super busy but got the line down quick. Donuts and croissants tasted amazing!

Their custom cakes are not only adorable but SO delicious! My 5 year old is obsessed with bacon and they made him the cutest cake!! Their donuts are out of this world, as are their pastries. Their Grand Haven location is conveniently located and the staff is so friendly. I will always order our cakes here!! read more

Ryke's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

Came into this location for this first time on a Monday morning and was treated so poorly. I thought to myself, maybe this cashier was just having a bad morning. The tone, the attitude, totally unnecessary, even if there was 2 people in line behind me. So fast forward a few days and I decide to go back in there on Saturday to try again. The same woman was working the counter. Short hair, glasses, same sassy attitude with the guy in front of me. I get up to order and got nasty service again. Not sure if it's every employee or just this older woman, but damn, I wont be back. read more

Tasty and they look good, but they are no different than donuts from the gas station. The ingredients are low quality: artificial flavors, high fructose corn syrup, bleached flour, soy lecithin, mono and diglycerides, natural vanilla flavor, and much more! read more

Ryke's Bakery - 4 donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

Great donuts. Wish they had outdoor seating but we stood outside with our dog and enjoyed ourselves anyway. Friendly staff too!

Rykes had such a good reputation in town. I gave them a few chances. Untrained , young , rude staff. Two separate times I was charged almost double for the cakes I purchased. 1 time they cost me a 35$ over draft fee. First time i assumed it was just a mistake. I think they do this often. 2nd time I complained. They reversed the charge after talkng to mgmt. They agreed to make my cake for the cost they told me it would be originally. When I gave them my card numbers. When I picked up the cake it was white. No decorations. Just the flavor I orderd thrown in a box. It was for a child's birthday. So rude, unprofessional. They are way over rated. I'll never order from their again. They've almost ruined 2 birthday's, if I hadn't run to the store to buy toppers ,frosting to fix the cake. They ended up costing me extra money and stalling the party to fix the cake. They were supposed to decorate. Like I said I gave them a few chances, because things happen. Every time there was some issue , and rude staff. GH & Muskegon locations. read more

Ridculously huge and tasty doughnuts...that's all I need to say. I will be back tomorrow!

This place came highly recommended so I decided to give it a try. And they did not disappoint! I stopped in for a last minute birthday cake and they had several of their most requested already prepared in their refrigerated section. I went with their round marble cake that is swirled with chocolate and vanilla cake. It was mostly vanilla so if you are expecting chocolate, get chocolate or have it custom made with layers each of chocolate and vanilla. The inside was filled with bavarian creme between each layer. I am not a birthday cake person, they are usually too sweet. But their cake definitely surpassed my expectations. It taste like it had been freshly prepared. and not too sweet like most cakes. It was only $23. read more

Just stopped at the Bakery in Grand Haven for my first time. Usually stop at the Muskegon location on Laketon. It'll be my first and last time. I will have second thoughts about even stopping in the Muskegon location. Donut was thick dry and old. I thought I was purchasing white milk turned out to be flavored. My mistake way overpriced. Be aware of charge for using debit cards. I'm a frequent Traveler. not too many places charge for debit cards very few anymore in the United States. Good luck with this location.

We just went here for the first time and it was so bad none of us could eat it. And the staff was really rude.

Had an amazing Long John with Bavarian cream inside and yummy chocolate on top. Super hot cup of tea and lots of tea choices. Thought the lady that helped us was so kind and friendly. Gotta love Midwesterners! Downside had to share my Long John. Upside: shared with a special friend! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and had an amazing egg salad on a croissant. I was amazed at the helpful staff and the complete pastry selection. I didn't expect so much variety at a second location. I ended up leaving with a cake that was personalized on the spot. They had samples out of their cake. I wish I would have tried their butter cookies. They looked good too. Beautiful, clean, convenient and friendly shop! read more
