Get here early because selection goes fast. Only non-plus is they 'don't take the calories out.

If you’re from Milwaukee, you already know the name Grebe’s Bakery — it’s been a staple for generations. Walking into Grebe’s feels like stepping into a piece of local history. The aroma of freshly baked doughnuts, cookies, and breads hits you before you even reach the counter, and it’s instantly comforting.
The doughnuts are what they’re most famous for, and honestly, they deserve every bit of that reputation. Their glazed old-fashioneds are perfectly crisp on the outside with that slightly tangy, melt-in-your-mouth texture inside. The buttermilk doughnuts are rich and satisfying, while the jelly-filled ones have just the right balance of sweet and tart — no artificial taste, just real fruit flavor
One thing I really appreciate about Grebe’s is the consistency. Whether you stop by early in the morning or grab a box from one of their partner gas stations later in the day, the quality never seems to drop. Everything tastes fresh, not mass-produced, and it’s clear that this family-run bakery still takes pride in every batch.
The service is warm and friendly the kind of genuine Midwestern hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. They’ll happily recommend favorites or help you put together a mixed box to try a bit of everything.

The bakery was alright, but one of the ladies in the counter mean mugged my mother multiple times for no apparent reason, she was the only Hispanic person in that moment in time.

The BEST ham and hard rolls for a road trip. The Pink sprinkle doughnuts are a favorite for my granddaughters.

Rodney could use some customer service skills. I called the phone number on the website that says if you can't get your order in for hot ham pre order in on Friday to call. I called and asked if I could order 5 lbs of hot ham for Sunday and he said no. Im like are you sure because you always have so much. He said no they could not do it. So I went into the store on Sunday and guess what plenty of hot ham. I would have spent alot more but Rodney turned me off to buy more.

We moved away about 12 years ago. Greeby is just an absolute walk down memory lane. To stand inside there and inhaled deeply the wonderful smell of all that pastry is just incredible. Takes me back to being a kid.
One of my favorite stops in Milwaukee. Get the Cruller!!! I buy them by the box full!!
Grebe's Bakery is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious, classic baked goods. Their donuts, pastries, and cakes are always fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the West Allis area!

Used to be better and open early. New hours suck and no longer make me a customer as I am gone from the area already. Oh well. Time to find somewhere new.
