9 Best Bakeries in Wauwatosa

“My favorite steak in town…. “Steak au Poivre” can be found at this great French restaurant (French not not haughty) in Wauwatosa. Favorite steak as it tastes great, and presented well. Sliced on an angle and sauced with a red wine black peppercorn reduction, it has just enough char on the outside to balance the medium rare I love inside. Along with taste, I love that it comes with my fav vegetables-haricot vertes and absolutely perfect French fries! So unlike popular steak restaurants, at LaReve you get more than just meat for the list price! Yum + Yay! The desserts? They are as gorgeous as they are delicious! The case is filled with sweet perfection, each one more beautiful than the next! Just so hard to pick which on.! And the macrons are iconic-crisp outside and soft chewy inside, take a few home with you! But what a treat to find a Kir Royale on the menu last night at dinner before a show! I’m sure it’s a direct effect of Emily in Paris Season 3, but maybe I just never noticed it on the menu before! I served these for Christmas ten years ago and when I saw Emily working on an ad campaign, I just knew they’d start to show up on menus soon. Lucky me! Bon Appetite! This place is great for a girls lunch or business lunch, A friends dinner or date night!“

“Got their cheesecake jars to celebrate a birthday and OH MY.. they are so incredibly good. We will be back to try more of their offerings for sure.“

“I’ve been a returning customer for the last 4 years & will continue to recommend Black Twig to everyone who hasn’t tried it yet. The bakery items are always delicious & fresh & the customer service is always perfect.“

“Stopped in to pick up some pastries for a client. Katie was a great help, everything looked so good! I love that you have dog treats too!“

“We love it! Kids love the colors and variety of baked goods! Clean and friendly staff!“

“We love stopping in for coffee & their amazing bakery! Their soup is so delicious & they make a variety of breakfast items oatmeal/sandwiches/homemade granola and all sorts of drinks. This place is a must visit (and visit often)!“

“okay i’ve gone to a couple different locations and i love love love their coffee and what they stand for as a business. this spot had a lot of nice seating and was super chill.

this time i decided to get a matcha latte with almond milk. at first glance the matcha isn’t super fresh and green, and it’s also not super mixed in - there were chunks of matcha in there. for the quality and price of $7 i would not say it’s worth it. overall i would say the matcha was just okay, but would go back for coffee anytime!“

“Alexis & Denice you guys are amazing customer service is through the roof thank you both for being so kind and polite neither one of you got upset when I ask if I could wait on fresh batch to come out you both are wonderful thank you both I really appreciate you both thank you so much I will be returning to this location in the future“

“I’ve noticed a lot of negative reviews here—some fair, but many come off a bit entitled. I’ll speak from my own experience: I’ve been coming to Breadsmith since I was 6 or 7, and I’m 24 now. In all that time, they’ve remained one of the most consistently high-quality bakeries I’ve known. Their breads and treats are always fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made.

What really stands out is how little their prices have changed over the years. That kind of stability, especially in today’s economy, speaks volumes about their commitment to the community and keeping things accessible. I love you BreadSmith.“
