Paielli's Bakery

Just outstanding! The fresh baked Italian- I can't even ever choose which to buy- personal paisano or crusty hard rolls with sesame seeds... or a round loaf... or...hell, just give me one of everything.The donuts are top notch- from custard filled long John's (bc why eat a long John w/out custard ?) to the ever famous cyclops... Bismarck filled with jelly, or the pecan cinn roll, twists, prune roll, even the Kringle OR (can't leave without this) custard pecan stick. My absolute fav. You act have to visit daily just to try one of everything fresh as can be.

Who doesn't love the aroma of fresher baked bread and pastries? This place smells AMAZING walking through the doors. The entrance does is not automatic, almost learned that the hard way .. lol. But the exit is.... and it makes sense as in sure many customers leave with their hands full. We went in to purchase the text raisin bread as it really is the best around and only place we've found it. But of course we cannot leave without some goodies as well. The staff is kind and fast. Full of information and provides that with a smile. If you are in Kenosha and haven't stopped in or just traveling through and looking for a hometown staple bakery, this is the place to visit.

A Kenosha landmark for a reason. Their Italian bread and pizza dough are the best. Their sweet rolls are sinful - namely their Cyclops. Their brownies and Italian cookies are also delicious, and I've never had a bad cake/cupcake from them either.Since they are so popular, weekends can be pretty busy. Saturday mornings usually entail a long line wrapping around the entire store. However if you aren't in a hurry, I can promise that it's worth the wait. Kenosha is known for having excellent food all around, and Paiellis is unquestionably at the top of that list.

Best donuts in town. Excellent prices, made fresh daily. Large selection and they even have small tables to eat your treats at. (They also sell great pizza dough!)

We ordered a fresh birthday cake and when we tried to get it out of the box it slipped off the bottom; not only that, it was dry and crumbled!!! Nothing moist about it. It was old. Not recommended for birthday cakes.

I had shortlisted this place as a pitstop for our Kenosha trip. Paelli's is not exactly Instagram-hip, nor does it try to be. It's a traditional bakery with breads, cakes, and various pastries. I came for the donuts. I am the Donut Hunter, after all.I confirmed they use vegetable oil for frying, in case that's a concern for you. We got a cyclops donut, a custard-filled long john, and a pastry with chocolate filling. It was only $3 for the haul.I was really hoping the cyclops had cream filling, as I'm a sucker for cream-filled donuts. Alas, it was not. The cream is only on top. However, it was very good. The other two items were pretty good as well. Not a bad stop for a quick, affordable sweet treat.

The people are SO sweet. Really lovely customer service. And locals LOVE this place. Like if you speak negatively about it to someone from Kenosha they will verbally assault you. I mean it's been open for 100 years. And maybe even 30 years ago even it was a quality product but now... The products are meh. The ingredients are such a disappointment. They sell bread, donuts, cookies. The bread is not crusty on the outside and soft on the inside like italian bread should be. It's just bread. So we can call this "midwest italian". You can get a better loaf of fresh Italian bread with fewer ingredients at fresh thyme. You can get better fresher donuts at pick n save. Two of the four donuts i had at 11am were not soft they were already a little stale. So yes people are loyal to this place like you wouldn't believe and locals will keep it running forever. But this is not a must see place. Especially if you're expecting a real italian bakery or real food ingredients...

Hadn't been to this bakery since I was a kid decades ago. And it was just how I remembered it. Fresh and plentiful with baked goods throughout. They have evolved into many varieties of breads, pizza dough and baked goods. I opted for the traditional biscotti and famous tricolor cookies both anise flavored and always a hit. I wish they would branch out though and make a few other Italian cookies and not just butter.

This bakery has the nicest people in it. The Kringles are amazing!!! They have a large variety of baked goods.

If you need bread that still has a homemade feel, and warm professional staff, this is where you wanna go.
