Winkler Bakery Reviews
It's was later in the day so not a great selection of items, but most things were marked 50% off and everything I purchased was good
Winkler Bakery in Old Salem is a wonderful experience that truly takes you back in time. It's fascinating to see how traditional baked goods and desserts were made, and the historic atmosphere makes the visit even more special. The bakery offers delicious treats, unique gifts, and a charming setting that's perfect for exploring and enjoying a piece of history. If you're visiting Old Salem, Winkler Bakery is definitely worth the stop!
Very quaint little bakery, very historic, I bought the lemon cookies which were expensive but all of the proceeds go to keeping the town going so it was worth it. I bought a jam that was called Toe jam that should be interesting it has elderberry in it. The whole downtown Old Salem it's just a place everyone should visit.

Winkler Bakery is a charming spot in the old Salem area, part museum, part gift shop, and part bakery. The vintage display and friendly staff in old costumes add to the nostalgic atmosphere. Visitors are greeted warmly and given a brief history of the house and its evolution over time, enhancing the experience. The aroma of wood-fired Moravian sugar cake and paper-thin spice cookies fills the air, creating an inviting environment. Guests can watch bakers in period dress fire up the 200-year-old brick oven and chat with staff while enjoying warm treats. The bakery is known for its Lovefeast buns, sugar cookies, and bread loaves, including the popular Orange Cranberry loaf, which is highly recommended. The quaint setting features rocking chairs, and visitors can try out pumping water the old-fashioned way nearby, making the visit feel like a step back in time. Overall, Winkler Bakery offers a delightful mix of history, delicious baked goods, and friendly service.
