Olde World Pastries Plus — Restaurant in Howard

Strap in because I've got a lot to say about Olde World Pastries Plus.

Spoiler alert - it's all good.

Although I'm not from Wisconsin, I've had my fair share of Kringles from Racine to Green Bay over the years. I've had some good Kringles and some that were, well, sub-par. But when I stopped in Olde World Pastries Plus this past October and tried one of their Kringles, I knew I found something special.

The pastry of their Kringle is light, buttery and flakey, and just dense enough to have a nice chew and mouth-feel. The pastry can make or break a Kringle, and this one is a homerun. Strike that - a grand slam. These folks have their pastry recipe dialed in.

The fillings are of high quality, too. With or without cream cheese, each Kringle is sure to delight and satisfy. And the proportions are well executed. The filling to pastry ratio gives a wonderful flavor without overpowering the pastry. You can taste and enjoy each element.

I've sampled the strawberry, cherry with cream cheese, caramel nut and the Brandy Old Fashion Kringles so far. There will be more in my future for sure.

Sidebar - get the Brandy Old Fashion Kringle right now. Stop reading this and order one or stop in the bakery and get one. Just go do it. It won't change your life, but it will make your belly feel like it did.

But wait, there's more!

Recently I had ordered several Kringles to be shipped to my home, about 1,400 miles away. I had the pleasure of speaking with Wanda and the staff when they took my order. They answered all my questions and were most helpful. They are polite, courteous and easy to talk to, and they treat you like a friend or a neighbor.

Unfortunately, there was issue with the shipper, and I called Wanda to let her know. She immediately took actions to make things right, even though there was no fault of Olde World Pastries Plus. She ensured that I was happy with their service as well as their product, and boy did she succeed. Thanks to her actions, my family gets to enjoy some delicious Kringles this holiday season.

I would give Olde World Pastries Plus more than 5 out of 5 stars if I could. In fact, I'm not sure stars are even good enough of a rating system. All I know is that I'm one very satisfied customer, and a customer for life. (And I'm a hero in my family for bringing these home.) But don't just take my word for it, go get some Kringles from Olde World Pastries Plus. Oh, and tell...

I just cannot say enough about the customer service or the amazing wedding cake they created for us. Planning a wedding from another state, I took a chance and called OWPP based on the reviews online. I was nervous because none of them reviewed a wedding cake, but I assumed if they received such high praise for their other baked goods, chances were good they knew how to make a cake. 😂 Such friendly and helpful service; they helped us navigate ordering without ever tasting or even seeing any of their products in person. We dropped off the flowers to adorn the cake the day before the wedding and kept our expectations in check. I never, ever write reviews, but when we walked into the reception and saw the absolutely stunning cake, I was beyond impressed. When we tasted it...oh my word! Almond wedding cake with Italian buttercream frosting that was so delicious! Many guests commented it was the best cake they had ever had at a wedding! Thank you to everyone who making this part of our celebration...

These are the most delicious pastries and their Danish Kringle is the best in Wisconsin. They are light, flaky and tender with multiple fillings to choose from, including some very yummy seasonal fillings. Our families favorite is the raspberry cream cheese! Today I bought a Brandy Old Fashion, which I believe is their most popular flavor. The caramel nut is amazing too! I live a few hours away, and call ahead my order when I come into town to ensure!! They ship too, which I will be doing when my daughter no longer attends college nearby? If any pastries are left at the end of the day they are donated to the local homeless shelter. The staff are...
