Cranky Al's

★★★★★ 4.5 (376) • $

"First time here won't be the last!! I have been wanting to try Crank Al's for so long and today I finally got a chance. Let's start with the atmosphere. This bakery is SPOTLESS. I mean we are talking clean. I also check restrooms as well when I go to restaurants and this was also GLEAMING. Next service. ALL of the employees were helpful, pleasant, and had a friendly demeanor. You could instantly tell they actually WANTED to be there. They were more than happy to suggest donuts but were not pushy or overbearing.Now the most important part. The donuts! These are by far the best donuts I've ever had. They were fresh and large. No short cuts here folks these donuts are AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a clean, super friendly local bakery with fresh baked goods that at extremely fair prices do yourself a favor and make CRANKY Al's YOUR hometown bakery"

Donut Squad

★★★★☆ 4.2 (91) • $

"Donut Squad! I was roped in by the FB posts showing a glass case filled with what looked to be delectable donuts. What I got was a half dozen donuts that were glazed in sugar, cereal and candy. If this is what you want then eh, go for it. I personally expected a bit more flair and styles of donuts that weren't just the "glazed" donut type. Donut Squad isn't bad just not quite my cup of tea if I'm going to eat some sugary snacks! Also, the Eastside location isn't the cleanest looking. Again, FB showed this pristine display behind squeaky clean glass. Far from that, the glass case appeared smudged and it just felt not so appealing a place to walk into. With so many true donut shop options out there, I'll take a pass on the Squad next time and go elsewhere."

"I just ate my first roasted pecan Kringle. Life changing. They should sell them in Illinois cannabis shops ... they'd make a killing!"

Greenbush Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (65) • $

"Usually don't review bakeries/coffee shops but this place was truly great! The girl who took my order was super sweet and helped recommend her favorite items as well as the most popular. All the donuts looked fresh and delicious. My friend and I ended up getting 4 and they all were phenomenal. I even got a black coffee to balance out the sweetness which was p good.I didn't really pay attention to prices because I assumed 4 donuts and a coffee would be around 15-20 dollars but when she told me $8 I was shook. I live in a major city so coming to Madison for the weekend has been a great budget trip and I will deff come back here in the morning for a sweet treat again (Yes, the Apple fritters were bigger than our heads but no I didn't get one...wish I did)"

"Nice place. The ambience is very chill, relaxing. They off a jenga game to play while sip on your drink or eat your donuts. The service is great and quick."

Donut Monster

★★★★☆ 3.7 (43)

"Oh my goodness. There's a reason why there are lines out the door to this place. Donuts are expensive. But well worth it. - I don't like coconut, but the coconut cream donut still killed it for me. - Can't say that their fritter was my favorite, though their most expensive item. It was more like a dessert pie than a donut. - chocolate ring - so scrumptious. even a bit crunchy. I gotta stop. They were all good. I'm getting hungry for more and it's 3am. I left the donuts on my counter in an air conditioned home overnight, but the cream went bad the next morning. Guess there are no preservatives in these donuts!! I'm fine with that!"

Doughboys Donuts

"Still so good!For those of you wondering about price, it's about $0.64 for 1 donut, and 10 cents more if you want speciality donuts, 20 cents more if you want muffins. Everything is under $1! Half dozen donuts are $3.50. And their donut holes are $0.19 a piece!(These prices may be off by a couple of cents and are subject to change as time progresses, fyi)."

Mochinut Bayshore

★★★★☆ 3.6 (42)

"We pass by Mochinut every time we go to Bayshore and we always drool at the sight of it, vowing to come back. Well, that day finally came! We came for a donut snack on a Saturday afternoon and it was definitely popular. There was a short line, which wasn't too bad of a wait at all. It looked like the donuts were very popular as most of them were missing, but were being replaced quickly with warm fresh ones. We opted to wait for one of these because I really wanted to try the Choco-Nana Granola donut. We also got an all-cheese hot Cheeto corndog because sweet and savory go great together!The wait for the food was probably around 10 minutes, which wasn't too bad at all. We picked a table outside as the indoor tables were all already taken. There is also a cute Instagrammable couch corner inside, but I'm sure that's always a favorite pick and usually very busy.The donut was FANTASTIC. It was light, fluffy, chewy, and so yummy. It had chocolate, banana, granola, and all great things. My only gripe is that it just feels too small for the price point. But as far as donuts go, this is very high up there and I would very gladly eat these over and over.The cheese dog was also similarly tasty. It was cheesy and crispy and paired really nicely with the sriracha mayo we opted for.Overall, a very yummy snack and well-kept place, but the price is the only deterring factor."

"Excellent bakery and some awesome people here. They were absolutely great and make so many just amazing goodies. This has to be your go to bakery!"

National Bakery & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.6 (31) • $

"This is possibly the worst place for my diet! All the baked good looked delicious and I can't believe I haven't been here until now. After driving past a paczki sign for a week - I made a a point to stop here on fat Tuesday to pick up some treats for the office. I am so glad I did. It was a full blown out Fat Tuesday party in the bakery with mardi gras decor, beads and an accordion player! Right way to set the mood for the lent season. I ordered a dozen on paczki - half cherry and half prune. The paczkis were so doughy and had plenty of filling. They were a big hit at the office and were the first ones gone. Some of my other co-workers brought paczkis from the grocery store or other bakeries and mine were the first ones gone - so based on this, I think we all agreed National bakery ones were the best.I can't wait to come back and try out the other baked goods."

Bakery On State

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19) • $$

"Found this bakery coming out of orthopedics and assoc. with my brother driving. He mentioned he'd stop here as a teenager (70's) after work every evening. They have delicious bread and pastries. The reason for 4* is the prices for individual pastries; they can be over $2.00 - $2.50 a piece and I find that to be a bit high. Doesn't stop me though, just can't buy a dozen at a time!"

Honeydip Donuts

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (8) • $

"I would give 5 stars if I was reviewing their sour cream donuts. If you love cake-y donuts, the sour cream ones are absolutely the best I have had around this area. I usually get the half dozen box for $5.99 and fill up on mostly those! Other than that, I'd also recommend the cream cheese and apple dutch donuts if you're into filling donuts. These are one of a kind!Other than that, they sell other breakfast foods, sandwiches, croissants, milk etc. but I've never bought anything other than donuts here. The reason I'm giving three stars is because the last time I was in, there was a customer in front of me who wasn't wearing a mask, even though it's mandated. I wish the store was better about COVID protocols and enforcing them."

Dunkin'

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"I recently went to this new establishment. The staff was friendly. I got a package to go of 10 Jelly Filled Munchkins. I also got a iced coffee. The coffee was good. The Munchkins not so much...very dry and only 1 out of the 10 had right amount of jelly filling. Most had zero jelly in them. You could see hole in side and red from jelly on outside. I would not recommend these munchkins and I will not be purchasing again."
