About Cranky Al's

While the shop offers counter service only, many customers find it worthwhile to order ahead on the web or by phone to avoid lines and wait times, especially for the popular doughnuts. The staff are friendly and helpful, often going above and beyond, with some customers noting that staff remember them and appreciate the personal service.

We used cranky Al’s for our wedding and we got SO many compliments! They were delicious even later into the evening, the tasting was amazing, communication was great, and they were very transparent about pricing which seems to be difficult to find in the wedding industry. This is the go-to place if you want donuts for your Milwaukee area wedding!!

Cranky Al’s was our dessert choice for our wedding and WOW, they did not disappoint!
We started with a quick meeting with Joey where he asked about our favorite candy, donut flavors and wedding colors. From there he curated the perfect mix and helped us choose from one of their beautiful donut stands. Joey and his team handled drop off and pick up which made the process seamless. Cranky Al’s donuts were the HIT of our wedding and we cannot thank you enough!
