Grebe's Bakery

Glazed Blueberry Old Fashion Doughnut: In 1937 Grebe's Bakery was born in Irene Grebe's home kitchen. In the 1950's Jim Sr. Gebe took over operations and began selling products to Milwaukee area supermarkets (which is how I conveniently picked up this doughnut). I typically go for yeast/raised doughnuts, but this one is an old-fashioned doughnut. An old-fashioned doughnut is a subset of cake doughnuts that have a cracked surface and are moister as they are fried at a lower temperature. They are sometimes referred to as buttermilk doughnuts or fry cakes. Grebe's Glazed Blueberry Old Fashion Doughnut (BOFD) comes with a sensational blueberry aroma and is completely engulfed in a thick layer of glaze along with decorative purple icing. The texture of the BOFD is cakey, but thankfully it is not too dry. There is a crispness to it from all the sweet glaze. As powerful as the blueberry aroma is, the blueberry flavor is relatively mild. It could just be that the blueberry flavor is somewhat overshadowed by the super sweet glaze. I didn't feel blue as I enjoyed this quite a bit, but it might be too sweet for others. Doughboy approved My favorites from Grebe's: 1. OREO Doughnut 2. Pumpkin Cake Doughnut 3. S'mores Bismark4.

They have the best doughnut and bakery and deli you try a sandwich and bread and they also make a birthday cake too!

This morning, I had my second visit to Grebe's This time I went inside with my husband and the people behind the case are just lovely. The line moved very very quickly. The store is super clean and organized, and today we purchased a more diverse selection of doughnuts. We tried the chocolate caramel cheesecake Bismarck, and it is amazing. I don't think they make a doughnut that I can't love. Thank you, for a second lovely visit, Grebe's! The hot ham and rolls is still on my radar

I almost always make it a habit to stop by a local, mom-and-pop type of bakery when we are on a road trip. This one has been family-owned since 1937.I stopped by around 2 PM on a Sunday and picked up a baker's dozen for $16.99 - Vanilla glazed yeast, chocolate glazed with custard, chocolate glazed with buttercream, blueberry glazed old fashion, old fashion, chocolate yeast donut with sprinkles, and sugar coated raspberry Bismarck. My favorite is the chocolate glazed with custard and I liked most of what I ordered except for two. I am generally a sucker for Bismarcks but I did not care for this raspberry one. The raspberry flavor was very subtle and the filling's texture was thin. The blueberry glazed old fashion was particularly greasy and the blueberry flavor was really lacking.

I'm not a big donut person but I get a craving every once in a while... when the craving hits, we hit up Grebe's! There is typically a line, especially on the weekends, but it moves fast.I have yet to try the ham but I will definitely get around to it. It's small inside, set up like a deli where you order at the counter. They have coffee, cooler drinks, and to-go bags of treats for sale as well.There are plenty of donuts to pick from and they all look terrific! I really wish the blueberry glaze was a blueberry cake donut instead, but it's close! My husband and son love the strawberry with sprinkles.

A sweet staple in the Milwaukee community for almost 100 years. Need bakery, food, cookies, donuts? They are known for their hot ham & roll deals. What goes together better than ham, rolls, treats & football during football season. The entrance is very inviting the smell of fresh bakery in the air. Inside the store is organized, clean & the staff was very quick & helpful. Our favorites were seasonal pumpkin spice and apple donuts. We will be back. Enjoy

I cannot find anything not to like about this place! It has been around since I can remember, and I am talking 70s. Everything is presented so well and everything is so fresh delicious! The variety is outstanding and there is always plenty of staff to accommodate the needs. I love the point system also.

This bakery has been a local staple since 1937! My mom and I stopped by and were in donut heaven!!Not only does this bakery sell tasty pastries, donuts, etc. but they also have a deli, cheeses, salads, etc. They have so much to offer and more!We obviously went for the donuts. My mom and I got a dozen and split them. Mine were filled and she got a few filled and raised donuts. The donuts are super fresh, moist and melt in your mouth. They were absolutely fantastic! We definitely enjoyed our donuts and would reccomend while in Milwaukee!

Sometimes if you get there late, you have to wait in line and the line is long very long but it's so well worth it. The food is excellent. The place is clean. The prices are just right and they always have specials and you can have coffee while you wait, of course you have to pay for it, but you still can have it..

Excellent and fresh donuts. Like going back to the 60's signage. I'll be back!Try it.
