Schenk's Family Bakery Reviews
I ordered a strawberry shortcake for my Mom’s birthday and when we cut it it fell apart. The frosting was horrible. The last couple of times I’ve gotten things from there they have been stale. I will never buy anything from there again.
Their Cakes Suck !!! Will Not Buy From Them Again
Stale donuts and old products sitting in case

Schenk's Family Bakery is a long-standing local bakery known for its delicious baked goods and friendly atmosphere. Customers appreciate the bakery's fresh and tasty items, especially the Rye Bread and Fastnachts, which are considered some of the best in the area. Many visitors find it worth the drive to enjoy the quality and traditional flavors offered here. The store is praised for being clean and well-maintained, with helpful staff who provide excellent customer service, making visitors feel welcomed from the moment they walk in.
However, some recent changes have caused disappointment. A few customers noted that certain items, like the sugar-free strudel, do not meet expectations, being hollow and lacking filling. Others expressed concern about the consistency of baked goods such as doughnuts, which they felt were heavier and less traditional than before. There was also a complaint about a strawberry shortcake that lacked strawberries on top and had a thin layer of jam inside, leading to frustration after no resolution was provided for weeks. Additionally, a birthday cake was described as tasting good but looking unprofessional, with icing and writing appearing sloppy.
Despite these concerns, many still recommend Schenk's for its traditional baked goods and friendly service, hoping that the bakery will maintain its quality and tradition in the future.
