10 Best Bakeries in Wauwatosa

“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.“

“We tried Mochiring recently and although there was a wait for drinks and hot dogs, I expected it with all of the buzz about this place. The drinks were amazing, the hotdogs are a MUST, especially the number 10. The doughnuts were super fresh and flavorful, I wish they had more flavors to try but I’m sure that will come with time. it’s still very early in their opening process so I understand them working things out. I’m more than happy to wait for food there, it is absolutely worth it. We have been craving it since our first visit!“

“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!“

“I had the LOUP DE MER Grilled Branzino, Lentils, Walnuts, Brocolini, Caper Vinaigrette 10 out of 10!“

“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)!“

“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.“

“I’m a proud regular at the Harwood Stone Creek. For the last two years, the baristas here— kind, funny, and genuinely attentive— have been part of my daily life in ways that go beyond coffee. They’ve helped start my mornings, celebrate small wins, and offered quiet empathy on harder days.

The coffee is consistently excellent. My drink is always made exactly right. The croissants should make any bakery blush. But what really sets this place apart is the people— behind the bar, at the tables, and coming through the door. Folks aren’t here because it’s the only cozy café around; they’re here because it’s the best.

Anyone can make coffee. Stone Creek makes an experience. A business rooted in curiosity, kindness, and care is one I’m genuinely happy to support and it’s a true joy that the coffee lives up to the values behind it.“

“Was a bit disappointed. Came in 45 minutes before close. No grilled food available only cold sandwiches. Only had veg. chili left. Took quite a while to get a cold sandwich & a bowl of chili. We were the only customers in there. I've been here before the food is generally good. This was not very good this time.“

“Every time I come to this location my food is so fresh, and served within 10 minutes every time! I had some delicious shrimp scampi and a avocado bacon sandwich with fresh tomato and delicious bacon! The staff is great and always makes sure to keep it clean!“
