11 Best Bakeries near Ely

“I am visiting from Tampa, FL., and in Florida, no one knows what a kolache is. So on my visit back home, I would typically stop in to Sykora’s for a kolache. I discovered them to be closed and really wanted to find a kolache before heading back to Tampa. Someone mentioned My Moms Bakery in Ely. I am not disappointed. The kolaches were great and the service even better. I messaged them on Facebook Thursday evening. They responded immediately and I had an order of kolaches ready on Friday morning. Nicest staff working in the store. Highly recommend and will definitely be back myself.“

“I had the fruit salad and brisket sandwich. Both were delicious! The fruit was ripe and fresh cut. We also shared a piece of the chocolate cake between three of us and still had leftovers! It was a super generous helping and very decadent.The atmosphere is quaint and fun, with beautiful light fixtures.The gals serving us were friendly and helpful great job and thank you!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp entrance in the back. I recommend bringing help or calling ahead, as you'll need to maneuver the gift shop area. Totally doable with care, just be aware.“

“This bakery has been in town for just over two years but we visited for the first time today- a Sunday. Very modern and hip shop, the staff was helpful and friendly! We had delicious breakfast biscuits. The Kolaches are so good!! We can’t wait to go back and try something else! Prices were comparable to other shops in the Iowa City area. This is a must!“

“Stopped by today with my family and I must say I am a new huge fan!! Her and her staff not only gave exceptional service, but amazing food as well. My daughter loved the fries and I myself found her smoothie with protein to be top notch. And you all when I talk about her butter cookies, I mean it when I say they deserve their own Michelin star. Kudos to Miss Shawnnie and the team on a bomb place!!“

“We love the slice of white cake (wedding cake) and stop at Kathy's pies just for that. We did buy day old kolaches and had to throw that were moldy on the bottom. But in 10 years of buying cakes and pies from Kathy's that is the only issue we have had.“

“El Super Burrito & Lupita's is really a great stop! The burrito was definitely one of the better in CR. The ingredients were simple, but each was really great on its own. With their powers combined, it is Captain…err Super Burrito! Shown below is the carne asada “Super Burrito.” The sauces were the perfect blend of spice and straight tastiness. Now my favorite part, the tamales. I’ve ordered them so many places and finally I’ve found my favorite! The pork was spicy and perfect for mah buds. BTW, it was incredibly fast and priced very well. They also have a bakery that looked amazing. Probably need to pick up some donuts in the AM.“

“Got 1 dozen chocolate and birthday cake and 1 dozen of gluten free red velvet and got compliments on all! Wouldn’t even be able to tell that the gluten free were gluten free. Will definitely be coming back for more in the future! Also, great customer service to top it all off!!“

“Today we got the raspberry rhubarb with cream cheese bread and the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and it’s the tastiest pastry we’ve had in a while. It’s perfectly cooked and moist. We have been wanting to stop here for a while and finally got time to. The lady helping was very helpful and informative of her options, I wish I caught your name! Thank you! We loved our morning treats!“

“Tried app sampler and chicken tenders were amazing, really good honey mustard. Got my usual for dinner and everything just as I expected. Luis was a great server, so friendly and accommodating. Very quick to clear plates, bring refills and ask if all was well once we had received our food. Helped us order to go muffins/rolls for breakfast tomorrow. Great to find such kind and attentive service, thank you!“

“There are 2 kinds of people. Those who like Frida Kahlo. And those who like El Sol (the 2 Mexican joints in town). It's hit and miss at both. I've had great meals and I've had bad meals. One thing I can say for sure is that when you ask someone who they prefer, they have their opinion of which is the best choice. For me...I never give a bad review of a nacho chip.“

“Happened to be out walking the dog & saw they were open on Saturday. Stopped back afterwards to see what they had. Got some macaroons & cookie. Deliciousness!Had no idea they did breakfast/lunch. Menu looked amazing. I'll be back again to try it out when I have more time!“
