Larry & Kristi's Bakery — Restaurant in Bremerton

Ever since I found this little gem I have gone here every year on my birthday for a donut well this year they were closed due to Staffing issue then when I finally discovered that they reopened I went in only to find out that they no longer take EBT after I put in my order I don't understand why they would cancel out a whole block of people but I guess the paperwork is just too much for them to handle Donuts are fabulous some of the best in town however clearly there is something amiss in the office working portion of the business I am personally highly offended that they no longer accept Snap also I don't know the new girls are that working there but they're not very knowledgeable in regards to answering questions about pricing and things of that nature when I asked about how much a Baker's Dozen cost I was told that that doesn't exist in that they've never carried that even though I've been buying Baker's Dozen from that donut shop for close...

Don't even bother if it is after 8:45am... they will simply just magically not make enough for the demand apparently. Even if you walk in and see a bunch of tasty donuts, nope! They will just say they will "be with you in a minute" while they proceed to take every last unique doughnut and leave the MASS of cake donuts no one wanted... also carrying out a brand new tray FULL of the SAME CAKE donuts they weren't moving into those assorted dozen boxes. Make it make sense. Why not make more blueberry or chocolate filled or ones with sprinkles.... ANYTHING other than the ones you have piling up! It is WILD walking into a bakery before 10 AM and you are OUT of everything because you were "busy"- if you have been in business for a long time, YOU WOULD KNOW WHEN YOU'D BE BUSY AND PLAN ON IT!!!!!!! Tired of walking in literally at 8-9AM and you are magically out of...

My review is based on an experience I had here about 15 years ago. I had stopped in for the very first time one morning to pick up a dozen doughnuts for my office.

After making some small talk (with who I now assume to be Kristi) and making my selections, I went to pay. However, my debit card was not working and I had no other way to pay.

Unexpectedly, I was handed the doughnuts and told I could just come back in pay later!?!? I mean who does that? A locally owned bakery, with an actual connection with their customers, that’s who.

Although I no longer live in the area, I have always remember this experience and how it made me feel. So much so that I am writing about it 15 years later!

If I am ever on that side of the water again, I will make it a point to stop by for another...
