Like many people in Milwaukee, I am a big fan of Simma's. I am usually the fortunate recipient of someone else's tasteful and generous dessert selection at parties, and I have never been disappointed. This time, I made a trip to Simma's to pick up a few items of my own for a party this weekend. I originally planned to get a small cheesecake but decided instead on four different dessert squares. With the help of the friendly staff (thanks, Jeremy), I put together a great assortment that is sure to please. In addition to the bakery items, they also carry party supplies such as cards, decorations, and napkins, along with packaged chocolate confections. Anyone who loves high-quality bakery items should make the trip. Is it a little more expensive than other places? Sure. Is it worth it? Absolutely! read more

If you want to talk about best morning bun/cinnamon bun in town, I think I have found the one! The dough is flaky like a crispy croissant yet the outside is filled with sweet cinnamon sugar and between each pull apart dough layer there's another layer of cinnamon sugar that just makes this past no. 1 in town for also the cheapest price of 3.75$. Can't beat the price or quality! Must try and sure enough it's always busy and gotta try all the other rotating weekly dessert specials too! The bottom up carrot cake was out of this world too! read more

Simma's Bakery - Morning Buns- delicious - Bakeries Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

The absolute best bakery. I would drive out of my way to come here, it's that good. They're known for their cheesecake which we like to get for birthday parties. It has a thin layer of raspberry filling, a chocolate cake bottom and is covered in chocolate ganache. A half a sheet of it cost $108 and that included writing and a polka dot design on the top of the cake. It's always a huge hit and utterly rich and decadent. I also highly recommend the carrot cake. Other than cakes, you'll find a great assortment of baked goods + pastries including a pastry of the month. I think the prices are very affordable especially for the quality. They also sell some food items in a fridge/freezer including containers of cookie dough. They also have birthday and seasonal decor items for sale like cake toppers, candles, cards, etc. service is always helpful and efficient. Be sure to take a number when you arrive or you may be waiting for a bit - they can get periodically busy depending on the time of the year. read more

Simma's Bakery in Milwaukee is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away. The bakery itself is gorgeous, beautifully curated, warm, inviting, and full of incredible selections. Beyond the desserts, even the gifts inside are out of this world and feel so thoughtfully chosen. What I thought was going to be a quick stop for a cheesecake turned into such a memorable experience. Simma's makes getting a sweet treat feel like so much more than that. It feels like a destination. It's the kind of place you want to linger in, take in, and come back to. Honestly, it would even make a great date spot. Emily helped me, and she was truly unforgettable. She is such a bright light. Kind, intelligent, welcoming, and genuinely special. I could have talked to her all day. She made the entire experience feel personal, joyful, and memorable. You can just tell she is going places. It is rare to come across a place that is not only beautiful, but also filled with people who make you want to come back again and again. I will absolutely be returning to Simma's Bakery, not only because of how wonderful everything was, but because Emily made such an impression on me. Truly a lovely experience from start to finish. read more

Simma's Bakery - assorted desserts - Bakeries Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Simma's Bakery: One of Milwaukee's renowned bakeries, Simma's first opened in 1982. The bakery was founded by a Russian immigrant that lends her name to the bakery. After Simma's death, the bakery was sold by her daughter to the Carollo family, who still run the bakery today. I've had Simma's before, but it was back around 2013. For this review, it's a version of their cheesecake that was used as a cake at a friend's wedding. Simma's cheesecake is not a typical plain old New York Style but instead incorporates multiple layers and some non-traditional aspects. To be perfectly honest, Simma's cheesecake has never impressed me, but I seem to be the odd duck as almost everyone else in the city seems to rave about it. Beginning with the chocolate cake bottom, it's not moist enough for me. The best part is the cheesecake layer, but there's nothing special about it that makes it stand out. I'm not a fan of fruit or jelly in my desserts, so even though it's not that noticeable, the raspberry layer puts me off. Lastly is the outer shell, which is sort of like white chocolate. Like the cheesecake layer, it's alright. A number of you are going to read this and say I have an unsophisticated palate, or I make lowbrow choices, but The Cheesecake Factory is where it's at for me. Twelve years later and Simma's is still just okay in terms of taste. The appearance of the entire cake was lovely though and still easily better than most standard wedding cakes I've encountered.

The last time, Simma's management team went above and beyond for us, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day memorable. Everyone raved about the cakes!

Decadent Desserts + Friendly Service! What more could you want? Stopped by on a whim to grab my most fav ECLAIR in the land! It was rather busy Saturday afternoon 2:00. A lot of choices were sold out, so earlier you go more choices you have! However, fyi grab a ticket # from the counter & they assist you really quickly! Lily helped me with my order; she was so pleasant and helpful! Her smile & customer service skills would make you think she might just be the owner! There's also a boutique vibe to the bakery. Cards, gifts, fun decor & they sell gift cards as well! See pic: 2 eclairs, strawberry cake, 2 whoopie's, chocolate & ganache something, and fudge-like brownie. All Divine! read more

As always, Simma's delivers on taste and quality. Did not want to order an entire cake, so I took advantage of the case with individual slices of dreamy desserts. The cheesecake and carrot cake are always winners, but the dessert of the month was amazing and unexpected. A cookies and cream style cake - the frosting was out of this world, the flavor was delicious, and somehow it was not overly sweet. Thanks Simma's. I'll keep coming back for more! read more

God I love Simma's- I've lived here or 4 years (originally from the Chicago land area) and truly no other bakeries I've been to have a carrot cake that matches that of Simma's. Every Thanksgiving I've brought a Simma's carrot cake back home to Illinois for the holidays and every year leading up to it my family demands that I bring it. If I ever move back to Illinois, i'm 10000% gonna be driving to Simmas just for their carrot cake. Besides their carrot cake, their cakes and baked goods in general are so freakin' good. You really can't go wrong! Service is always efficient and fast- and I typically go the day of or day before holidays! read more

Excellent bakery! I have been going there for years now and have taken the 'treats' to work and everyone loved them. Also have given gifts certificates as presents for birthdays. read more

Cake tasting was awful and overpriced, I do not recommend coming here. Service was poor as well

Stopped in same day to purchase a cheesecake for a coworkers birthday and they had a great selection available ready to go! After I selected my cake(got the classic cheesecake of course) they offered writing a complimentary custom message on the cake. I was greeted upon arrival and there were several staff members behind the counter so I had no wait at all. They offer a variety of sweet treats besides their coveted cheesecake including morning buns, eclairs, individual slices of cake, and much more! Inside, the retail space is clean and has a variety of items for sale that would complement any event from birthdays to everyday special occasions--such as cards, candles, napkins, plates. read more

Everyone spoke about the delicious cheesecake. They even included a Diamond ring. My grandson was pretty sure it was real. Thank you Simma's for the delicious desserts. You are the best. read more

If you want a great cheesecake for any event, look no further than Simma's!!! Friendly and kind service serving the best cheesecake around. We picked up a cake for my mom's birthday, it was both beautiful and delicious. Personally I like a tad more fruit with my cheesecake so if you'd feel the same, maybe pick up your preferred fruit to add on the side. But overall this cheesecake is fantastic!! read more

We had purchased Simma's Cheesecake 18 years ago for our wedding. By far, it was the best cheesecake we have ever tasted. We recently ordered a cheesecake for a family party. The texture and taste was not to the level of what we remembered from years ago.. Did the recipe change? read more

A friend of mine said he ordered a cheesecake, but he received a chocolate layer cake that they have standard in their bakery case. The cake layers were thin and uneven, and frosting layers really thick. Not a proper ratio at all, it looked luke an amiture made this cake. I wish I was able to post the picture I took. Definetly not the best cake around. The cake a friend got for me for my birthday from Simma's was also disappointing. Not sure what all the rave for this place is. read more

To make a long story short We decided last minute to have a cake at our wedding. Our aunt went to this bakery and was able to get this two-tier red velvet cake which happened to be already made. This cake was absolutely delicious No surprise that the cake was a hit at our wedding, and it was gone soon as it was cut. Thank you so much for making our day more memorable with such a beautiful and delicious cake. I will definitely be going back for other desserts. We decorated the cake on our own with the pretty floral pieces. We appreciate your service! read more

Simma's Bakery - Custom banana cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Get ready, get set, RUN. This is the place to be Saturday morning to grab a cake for an event whether that is a birthday or a special dinner. I would recommend any time before 10 or you'll be stuck in the dessert and cake rush with all the families and moms and dads. It'll prob take 30min to get taken care of and served but the cake is so well worth it. I usually get the cheesecake and it's delish. The regular cake is also very good. It's moist. like MOIST without being soggy. Last for a good chunk of days after serving and when it's stored frozen, delish. I do think the price is worth it eventhough it is a bit extra of a price of cake for the size. The cakes are pretty rich so if that's not your vibe I would choose a different bakery. Though that means you don't need too much cake for the ppl. The smallest size I've had serve 10 ppl because it is so tall and rich in flavor. read more

Always delicious goods from this bakery! I went on Dec. 23rd to try and get treats for the holidays and the line was down the block. However, they have it figured out there and they help people pretty quickly. Tried the cheesecake slices (as always) and some of the other cake slice-type desserts. Tried the red velvet bottom and the covered chocolate bottom which was VERY good. Can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

I love Simma's Bakery and have eaten many cheesecakes from here over the years, but they were all ordered by my friends for special occasions. I now have a special occasion in my family so I decided to place my own order for a cheesecake. I called a few days ahead to place my order and heard on their phone message they are taking covid precautions and had special hours due to the holidays. Placing the order any paying over the phone was very easy. When I arrived to pick it up I was a little confused because of the line outside the door. But with covid restrictions I realized they were limiting customers inside the store. Fortunately as customers were coming out they let us know to go inside to grab a ticket to be called on. And as other people were coming out they were announcing what number the bakery was at so we knew when to go in. The cheesecake I ordered was beautiful and my parents loved it. To quote my mother, it is so smooth and so good! read more

I can't speak on how their "regular" stuff is since I came here with the idea that we'd possibly be using them for our wedding cake so keep that in mind when reading. We made the appointment and paid what needed to be paid for a cake tasting and selected the flavors we wanted. When the day of the tasting came, we were seated in a room away from the hussle and bussle of the main area which was appreciated. The flavors we selected to try were brought out and we were told which was which and then given space and time to try them AT OUR OWN PACE!!! That was wonderful. No one was starting at us akwardly while we tried each one and made our notes on them. We decided to go with them and paid the $50 deposit. Unfortuately we did cancel with them (with plenty of notice) because we found another bakery we liked better and better suited our needs and wants for the wedding cake. I called to cancel the contract and the lady I spoke with was very sweet and understanding. She did not make me feel bad for canceling at all and because of that and the experience when doing the cake tasting, they will be high on our list if we need a cake or desserts for anything else in the future. read more

There is no better cheesecake than the one you get at Simma's! The base is made up of just the right amount of chocolate cake, then there is a layer of light, creamy and decadent cheesecake. Next, there is a thin layer of berry and then the chocolate ganache. Not only is the cheesecake delicious, but they also decorate them beautifully with flowers, balloons, etc. For Mother's Day this year I decided to surprise my mom with a cheesecake! I called ahead due to COVID and found out they were super busy so I went on Friday to pick up my cheesecake for Sunday. They wrote a custom message and packaged it up nicely so that it was still perfectly tasty two days later! I also got a slice of cheesecake for my mother in law and the tiramisu cup for my husband and they were impressed! I'm so happy I went to Simma's and honestly, my mom may have been more excited for the cheesecake than to see her only daughter (at a distance of course)! read more

Sat, Oct 2, 2022, 3:17pm: Sent PM w/ this message... Here we go again, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! Why, with three people standing around that WE must ask to be served? It's incumbent on the rep of your business to inquire "Good afternoon, how may we help you today?" The sitting bull routine will not suffice! Furthermore, my husband was the only one in the store and all of the ladies just stood there ignoring him as he waited. Then, others walked in and suddenly they asked "who's next?" What the hell was this attitude about? It was his suggestion to stop in for dessert and I didn't want my past grievance with your bakery to affect that he preferred to purchase dessert for our dinner guests. And, I was beyond annoyed to hear that he was dismissed as I was when I was last there a few years ago. read more

Simma's is one of the most famous bakeries in the greater Milwaukee area and we were super thrilled to give it a try for my baby shower cake. The lady who I spoke with over the phone was very sweet and professional and told me I could email inspiration pictures to their email. I got an idea about the costs after speaking to them. Tiny tiny additions add up and end up being a LOT. We made a trip to the bakery to finalize the order and decide the flavor. They showed us some pictures of their own collection and this is the only reason I gave Simmas a 4 star is because all these designs were very outdated for baby shower cakes. There was nothing like the inspiration pics I had sent them so made me lose confidence if it was even possible so I went with something similar to what they had done in the past. The cake tasted amazing! We got pineapple flavor for filling and had couple of blueberry macaroons on top and the macaroons were to die for.. probably the best I have ever had. We also ended up getting some other baked goodies during our visit there and it tasted amazing. read more

We got married at The Ivy House on April 16, 2022. We did popsicles as a dessert for our guests, but we still wanted a traditional cake for ourselves and our wedding party. Simma's is our favorite bakery in the area, so this was a no-brainer when we decided on having a cake. We went in for a tasting which answered all of our questions and was extremely helpful to the process. It was pretty hard to narrow it down to one flavor, but we eventually agreed on a delicious combination! We did a two-tier cake with fresh strawberries inside and blue painted decor to match our wedding colors. The cake arrived on time and in perfect condition. Everyone said it was delicious! We decided to save the top part and freeze it so we can enjoy it on our year anniversary. I can't wait to eat more of it! Simma's has a huge variety of flavors and options. You will not be disappointed in whatever you order from them! Best desserts around! read more

absolutely fantastic local bakery. filled with anything from decorated cakes, giant fancy cupcakes, to the best of all... THE CHEESECAKE. seriously, when you're there, get it ... plain cheesecake with a small layer raspberry & chocolate ganache. the place gets busy on weekends especially, but they do a great job having people grab a number and keeping things moving. read more

I was so blown away the first time I had the cheesecake. This is no ordinary cheesecake. It has a decadent chocolate cake bottom, fluffy cream cheese filling, and a perfectly thin layer of raspberry jam on top all covered in a chocolate ganache. This cheesecake is out of this world, and you will regret not ordering more! Simma's also has other delicious treats. I also really enjoy their morning buns. They are the perfect amount of sweetness to pair wirh your morning coffee. Be sure to get here early enough to grab a morning bun, as they are known to sell out of these quick! read more

How is it possible that I haven't written a review yet? I LOVE Simma's, from their delicious desserts to their amazing cakes. Five stars all the way. My suggestion would be to try everything- if it looks good to you, it probably will be. I recently discovered their chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, which sounds like a lot of chocolate, but for some reason, it's just the right amount. They are my go to for simple, beautiful delicious cakes for any occasion. Pro tip if you're walking in just to get dessert grab at the counter they operate deli style and call out ticket numbers for the next in line. read more

Ordered 2 identical cakes in different sizes for an engagement party 2 weeks in advance and they didn't match the color of the boards which was quite disappointing. Also one of the boards was an inch oversized so I had to cut it with a box cutter before placing at event and the other one had to have the boards switched out to gold! The 4 layer chocolate cake was delicious and perfectly layered filled. The cheesecake doesn't really taste like cheesecake to me and falls apart easily. read more
