National Bakery & Deli | East – Milwaukee

Had a slice of Christmas cake from this bakery and was blown away, had to go myself and try it out. Unfortunately, nothing I bought was anywhere near the quality of that cake. Half a dozen doughnuts: were just ok. Particularly, the pastry/dough portion was tough and somewhat leathery (old?) on the filled doughnut, and the cake-style doughnuts were excessively oily. I also got 2 large 'iced' sugar cookies. I was expecting icing or fondant, but it turned out to be some kind of low-quality white chocolate or coating chocolate. Not what I wanted - and, frankly, not good. The cookie itself is great, but the icing is so bad I couldn't eat more than a few bites - and I would not have purchased the cookies if they had been labeled as being coated with 'chocolate' or whatever that was. They should

A Milwaukee classic. Some of the best bakery, breads and donuts in the city!

The service was great! I had a chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread that was fine! The atmosphere is good. It's like a regular hometown bakery. I was just disappointed with the dryness of the bread that I ordered. It could possibly be that I picked up the bread in the afternoon so I'm not sure if that's what had it so dried out but I just expected it to be a little more fresh.

Literally the best donut I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’ll look for an excuse to come back. They had a parking lot too, which was convenient.

Ordered a cake for my friend’s birthday. Wonderful experience A-Z. Everyone loved the cake and asked where I’d gotten it. This is my new go to bakery.
