Hartman's Bakery and Pastry Shoppe

This bakery, located in the middle of a neighborhood, was a great stop en route from Green Bay to Des Moines.Founded in 1950 and with recent new owners, this storefront is a real treat when you walk inside, as the fresh scent of the bakery is everywhere. I wish the help would have been a little more warm, but that was the only negative.Grabbed a box of kolaches, and so glad that I did. Wow. Considered one of their fresh breads, apple fritters, and cookies, but the kolaches were the winner and were awesome. Street parking works, and their prices are solid.

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!

This place has gone down hill both in quality and variety. Came from out of town just to buy bakery. Was sadly disappointed. Some of the bakery was great, especially the hard rolls. I came specifically for the kolaches. So sad. Most were broken and crumbling in the box. You could not even lift one out of the box before it literally fell apart in my hands. They used to make them individually. Round. Now they make them like cakes and just cut them out like a piece of cake. Yuk. I am sure this saves time, but the bread is inedible. So disappointing.

Updating my review, still five stars! The new owners are just as good as the previous owners. Fresh, tasty bakery items with a wide variety of pastries, bread, cookies, buns, etc. Super quick friendly staff! Very reasonable prices. An updated look that is cute. Every time I'm in town I stop here.

As a person who loves bakery and knows the difference in fresh and old. I wanted to try this place because friends told me how good it was. Totally disappointed that two different doughnuts were like 3 days old stiff. A bakery should always be fresh and soft.

Fresh, delicious kolaches on a Sunday morning! Lots of yummy fillings! 5 dozen nicely boxed & ready to travel to Green Bay!

THE BEST bakery! From special orders to the best sugar cookies in the state....go get your piece of heaven on earth

Great neighborhood bakery. Only place in town with poppyseed berleiners and kolaches. So glad to see they re-opened after a terrible fire last year. I go there every time I visit Manitowoc.

So disappointed! I have been going to the Manitowoc location for years today I was disappointed. I came I. With gift certificate I bought in Manitowoc and was told that because they said Plymouth they couldn't be used. I've used them at previous times. This place had always been a destination stop when we visit. My visits will stop. I'll try the other bakery on State street

While the baked goods are very good, the service is not. On a recent visit, I was the only person in the store. The lady behind the counter impatiently rushed me through my choices, did not listen to my responses and asked me repeatedly. She also rattled off a policy about a limit of how many dozen a person was able to purchase. Nowhere in the store was this policy posted so how is a customer supposed to know? She was very snippy and huffy while filling my order, and giving me dirty looks while I finally checked out. I was about to leave without purchasing anything but needed the baked goods for a small event going on that evening. Unfortunately, the attitude and treatment I received is enough to quit going to Hartman's. I will not set foot in there again nor will I recommend them to other people. There are other bakeries in the area. I sincerely hope this is not how the public at large is treated.
