The staff could not be less knowledgeable. The hours stated that everything closed at 4pm and we arrived at approximately 215pm. We wanted tickets and information about the advertised Easter egg hunt, we were told that everything was closing and that buying tickets would be pointless. We inquired about the Easter egg hunt advertised and then for whatever reason were lectured about leaving our children alone? Why? I was forced to interrupt them and explain firmly that I had not indicated that I would leave my children alone and that as a good parent would never. I needed two things: tickets to the Easter egg hunt since the tickets to tour were what they referred to as "pointless" and to know exactly where the Easter egg hunt was located. They had a difficult time managing even that. After purchasing "two-stop" tickets we walked down early to the egg hunt location and were encouraged to wait elsewhere since there were still 25 minutes left. Fortunately we didn't go far because they decided to open the hunt 15 minutes early, any children who arrived on time were disappointed because there was hardly anything left. This entire operation appears very poorly managed, we brought family from out of town here and we couldn't be more disappointed. Please provide appropriate training for your staff.

This bakery is one part of the old Salem attractions. I think it's more museum and gift shops than a bakery itself, but I really love this place, the display part brings me some vintage nostalgia feelings. The lady at the entrance and the cashier dressed in old costumes, and the lady had a really warming smile. I didn't get any bakery there this time, they look kinda sweet, but would love to try some other time.

It has changed a lot over the 30 years we have been going there. While most commercial now, still a neat place.

Cute place to check out for baked goods, rocking chairs and more. The staff lovely and the place is quaint. If you have a sweet tooth, this is your spot. Nearby there's a place you can pump water like they did waaaay back in the day. It was fun. Enjoy!

They are closed more often then they are open .

I'm afraid Dewey's lost their mojo many years ago when it comes to Lovefeast buns. Winkler's has the best Lovefeast buns, perhaps the only other rival is Mrs. Pumpkins. Their sugar cookies are good as well, and are different from Mrs. Hanes and Dewey's. They also have some great loaves of bread, sugar cake, and many other items. It's a must to visit.
I have ordered love feast bun mix from Winkler Bakery website for 4 years now by mail. This year is the only year my mix didn't rise, nor did it smell like the normal mix, just flour smell. My dough, nor buns never rose. I baked them and they looked like flat biscuits. No taste.. I tried calling the bakery 2 days. First day no one answered phone, so i left name and phone number. 2nd day left full message concerning my order. Still no return call. Sad I enjoyed using their mix and sharing with friends.

They have ruined the sugarcake...WAY too much sugar, not really edible. Don't waste your money.
This was the cutest historical bakery! You HAVE to try the peanut brittle, it was above and beyond delicious! It's set in its old German heritage, which is absolutely adorable. This part of historic down town Winston Salam is absolutely the cutest place, and a must see and visit!

The service sucks when it comes assisting Black people. On 11/29/23 I walked into the bakery In search of sugar cakes, and tea cookies, which they no longer sale… I asked a white worker for help & she turned her back & walked away… As if she didn’t hear me….The nerve Of this dressed up bonnet wearing pilgrim, taking her job so seriously that it almost got her cussed out …. afterwords As stated very loudly, that the service here is terrible…. And got the nerve to have a black woman at the front cash register make it look good l…I’ll never come back….

Everything I bought and tried was absolutely DELICIOUS! My favorite thing (that I will definitely be back to buy more of) was the cheese stars. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Don’t miss the gift shop on the second floor.
