This is such an awesome little bakery! The display cases are always stuffed with so many great deserts, cakes, breads, cookies and pastries. I first stopped in this place because they had a sign by the road that said Pineapple Upside Down Cake. (Turned my blinker on immediately!). Paraphrasing one of my favorite Seinfeld quotes "they were real and they were spectacular"! Today I wanted to pick up some holiday treats for work and tried a glazed donut. Also Spectacular! Find this place.... You won't be disappointed. read more

We had Simple Simon do the cupcakes for our wedding, 10 years ago. They were so easy to work with, even though we were planning our wedding from afar. They allowed my mom to pick up cake samples and bring them to us, they were so reasonably priced AND just so accommodating with coming to the venue to place them wherever we needed them. They even satisfied a special request from my mom, which was to have a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting just for her. Everyone STILL raves about the cupcakes from our wedding. Flash forward to today. We were in the area celebrating our double-digits and thought it was a MUST to stop and pick up a cake or cupcakes to honor the occasion. Their bakery counter is just one area of their business, and a very small space, but they do well with working the room and helping everyone in a timely manner. We snagged two of their cakes from the cases and got to make jokes and talk about our wedding with the cashier. We are excited to dig in and reminisce with some great cakes! read more

Open early! Super sweet cashier, and excellent bakery. Just a dozen doughnuts this time, but man the cupcakes looked great!

Great bakery goods. I had some custom iced cookies made and they looked and tasted great. Good price too. I recommend.

Picked up a cake for my birthday, they only had carrot, spice and white. If you preorder they have many more flavor options. We told them the message we wanted and they were able to do it immediately! We also got some packer cookies for good luck read more

Wow!! I am so glad that with all of the bakery's we sampled that we went with simple Simon!! We were able to do everything so seamlessly with Dawn she really made our day special!! The only regret I have is not ordering more desserts!! They were phenomenal!! We did a cutting cake with cupcakes and cheesecakes for the guests for our wedding and everyone loved them!! They were gone before I could blink! Dawn is amazing to work with and was so flexible with everything and the set up and display of desserts was so professional and beautiful and I had no problems what so ever it was perfect from start to finish!! Thank you Dawn for everything you do and we will certainly be using and recommending you for future events!! read more

Stopped into this bakery while I was in town for work mid-afternoon today. The woman behind the counter was very polite. When I told her it was my first time there, she laughed and said, "I've had a lot of first timers recently." Then I told her I was from out of town and she seemed a little sad I wouldn't be a return customer. I told her that I'd be in town occasionally so I might be. I ordered a donut and it was very good. She had also asked me if I wanted to buy some cookies since they were on sale today. Good upsell and the cookies looked very good, but like I told her, if it was more than just me, I'd happily take her up on it. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

We were staying in Appleton just one night, decided to get fresh doughnuts for breakfast. My husband went early in the morning and got 6 doughnuts and 2 cupcakes. We all, including the kids, couldn't get past one bite of trying each of what we got. Super dry (I think our grocery store doughnuts don't get that stale on a third day), super sweet - I couldn't eat even with milk. Just awful - stale and gross read more

Learned about this place through Instagram and one morning we made a trip- so cute and everyone very nice. The place has a plethora of baked options like cupcakes, cookies, cakes, donuts, bread, rolls, and other things. We decided to buy a variety and it was all delicious. The place is busy but everyone was well served. Many people were coming in to buy the upside down pineapple cake so we've put that one on our list. The cookies are delicious and the cupcakes are adorable. read more

Simple Simon Bakery - A variety of flavors in all their baked goods! - Bakeries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Dawn is probably one of the most creative around here. She did a wonderful job on the flavors and decorating of several cakes for my daughters wedding ceremonies In August of 2019. Excellent customer service, easy to work with, very accommodating. I would have given her 5 stars but for the fact that she has not returned my calls to return my chargers she accidentally received from the wedding venue after it was over. read more

Yummy Bakery!! We tried a few different things from this assortment (it was our first time there) both of us agree that the baileys donut with Guinness chocolate glaze was amazing!! I thought it actually tasted a lot like a cream puff which I love. Our doggy Koda gave the doggy biscuit's two paws up (must try again) !! I can't wait to try the apple pie and cinnamon bread! read more

Remember shopping here as a kid....loved the donuts!! Still has awesome sweets and great service!

Do not buy anything here....I got moldy buns. They got me a loaf of bread out of the freezer. They do not have fresh bakery.

I can't say enough about the cake made by Simple Simon Bakery. I contacted Dawn through email because we live about 2.5 hours from their location and being disabled makes it difficult to travel very far. I was in charge of the wedding cake for my son's wedding. The bride gave me free reign to design and make decisions about the cake. She had never seen it or anything about it. My husband sketched the cake for me, I had the flowers, ribbon and topper sent to them. When the cake arrived at our venue, it was absolutely perfect!!! It looked exactly as we had requested. The flavors were wonderful. My guests loved it and everyone wanted to know where we got it from. When my new daughter in law first saw the cake she cried and said she never thought it could be so beautiful! Dawn-thank you and whom ever else worked on this cake for us. It was absolutely perfect! read more

We tried the bakery for a late donut breakfast around 9am. Sometimes donut shops are out (or stale) by that time of day but not here! My 6 year old said it was the best donut she's ever had in her life! We'll definitely be back read more

An eclair that makes my heart pound. Danishes that impose a perma-grin on my face. But the customer service was unbelievable. I'm on an overnight in a hotel downtown and upon check-in decided to succumb to my craving for something sweet. After I Yelped my options I laced up my shoes and headed out just over a mile to this little gem of a bakery. Well, first I called to find out what time they closed. Marion answered the phone and said, "in about 12 minutes but we'll be here for hours -- I'll leave the door open for ya!" Sure enough the door was open and Marion met me from behind the counter with a smile. I asked for her recommendation (everything looked seriously good) so she started pointing out her favorites. I finally decided on a chocolate-covered brownie and a caramel apple cupcake. But she was putting together a box! "Oh, no, Marion!" I said. "I just need something sweet for tonight!" "But you have to try this one and one of these! And they're our treat since you walked all this way!" Bit by gloriously sweet bit she filled up that bakery box. I had no hope of getting out of there with less than 10 lbs of sugary goodness once I divulged that I was an airline pilot on a 5-day trip -- she packed even more goodies into the box! "Share them with your crew!" she said. And then she came out from behind the counter to give me a genuine grandmotherly hug "since I'd been away from my own family for so long". I know these Wisconsinites are some of the friendliest folks on the planet, but Marion gets a gold star. As I was slowly backing out of the shoppe another customer entered. She took one look at me and my laden-down arms and said, "Oh, what did she get you addicted to this time? A long time ago I came in for one cupcake and I've been coming back weekly for years, every time she sends me home with something equally addicting!" I was nearly at the door when she told me that I really should take that package of about 2 dozen cookies "because they're ugly and no one will buy them anyway and you can share them with your crew". Unbelievable. Surely they don't make any money if they give all their yummies away....? Some of the best home-baked goodies I've ever eaten, and far and away the most sincere, loving customer service I've ever received. Thank you, Marion. Next time I layover in ATW I promise I'll be back to give my pancreas a workout! (And get my hug). read more

Bought a lemon meringue pie today and picked it up just as it was coming out of the oven. Shared it at lunch with family and it was amazing-the flavors exploded in your mouth. It has to be the best lemon meringue pie I have ever had. Will definitely be back to try some of their other bakery items! read more

Nice local bakery with fresh donuts, cakes and cookies. Reasonable prices. Very nice and helpful staff. Taste is fresh and even though nothing exotic, it feels good buying from here, simply because it feels nostalgic to the old days of fresh baking. read more

I was really determined to get as many local vendors as I could for my wedding, and Simple Simon's and Dawn exceeded every expectation I could have had. I didn't have a lot of preference on the style and design of the cupcakes and our cutting cake, and they let their creativity fly! It was beautiful and received tons of compliments. They also made an awesome curling rock grooms cake that my husband was ecstatic about. Easily one of the best vendors I worked with for the wedding - I cannot recommend their services enough! read more

They made 2 large sheet cakes for us & they were so beautiful!!! Tasted fantastic, too. Lots of compliments. Thank you Simple Simon!!!! Most of the other bakery was fantastic, too, though I'm not a big fan of the muffins or croissants. Wish I could find a down home bakery like this in Vegas! read more

An excellent old school bakery. The donuts here are great. Its Christmas time so baked goodies are flying out of here. The staff are friendly and its has that Mom & Pop kind of charm. read more

We hired Simple Simon to provide cupcakes, donuts, and a 2 tier cutting cake for our wedding in Sept 2018.....we couldn't have been more please with these ladies from start to finish. The desserts were SO SO good....almost a year later and we still hear from guests about how delicious everything was. I can not recommend Simple Simon enough.....they are incredibly affordable and did the most perfect job. Thank you again! read more

It warms my heart to see one of the few remaining neighborhood bakeries thriving. Their baked goods take a backseat to nobody else's. Dawn is always a pleasure to deal with and doesn't forget a customer. I dealt with one of their newer employees this morning. Her name is Serena and her smile put a shine on my day at 3:30 in the morning. I'm glad Appleton still has businesses like this. read more

We've gotten two birthday cakes from Simple Simon and both exceeded our expectations. They were both decorated perfectly and the cake was so moist and delicious. You get so much for the price. I highly recommend them. read more

FRESH! Great Family Bakery! Wonderful doughnuts, coffee cakes ect. Why spend $1.29 on the thawed quick trip doughnuts (I bit into a semi frozen on once) when you can have a morning fresh one for $1. Friendly staff that greets my daughter by name every time we go. A wonderful neighborhood bakery worth a taste! read more

Excellent family owned bakery. Cskes and donuts are fresh & delicious! Got a couple birthday cakes for my father here and the staff was totally delightful. read more

I haven't been here since my childhood.. Needing awesome cupcakes for some bribery I owed a coworker I went back after ten years and it was just as I remember.. Absolutely amazing! Walked out with more than cupcakes and the girls behind the counter were nothing short of fabulous! They even threw in the broken extras of the kind of Danishes I bought for free! Extremely friendly staff.. And very reasonable prices.. Only wish they had a tip jar.. =) read more

I requested Simple Simon Bakery to make our wedding cake. Their prices are very reasonable. They have a lot of options with what you can do with your cake but we went with a traditional look. We had a small round cake just for us while our guest got sheet cake, we had three flavors i highly recommend the carrot cake. The cake arrived on time I had no problems with communication if i had questions or concerns they were very quick to respond. read more

Really. Really. Good. I used to go here as a child through my teenage years and I went back recently and it was just as good as I remembered. The staff was very friendly and the donuts, cookies, and carrot cake cupcake was amazing. read more

The worst customer service! We have tried this bakery several times over the years because it is close to our house and easy to get to. Unfortunately they are not equipped to handle more than one person at a time. On one particular incident we ordered a selection of bakery and the young girl behind the counter gave us all of the wrong items. Another time we waited in the lobby for almost 20 minutes because the lady at the counter was in Hot conversation with a friend and did not wait on anyone else. Another time we stopped in quick for a few items only to get them home and find out they were extremely dry and did not taste fresh so we ended up throwing them out because we both work for a living in do not have time to drive back bakery. Recently we stopped in to try it again -hoping things were better and the person behind the counter kept talking to people in the back room- ignoring everyone else in the lobby including myself and 4 other guests. We understand this is a mom and pop store and that's one of the reasons we support it and try to go back... unfortunately they do not understand customer service tactics which include waiting on clients in a quick and timely fashion. They should have at least one person on the register and one other person just bagging the goods. On busy days they should have at least 3 people out front. Sorry but there are so many other places in the Fox cities to go for bakery including all of the local grocery stores. We do not plan on going back to Simple Simon! GOOD LUCK! read more
