Paielli's Bakery — Restaurant in Kenosha

Normally we get our birthday cakes here and that part is normally fine and great.

However, when you’re getting baked goods and you were first to ask and get them, they instead gave it to folks behind us in line. Disappointed because the worker was aware of what we asked and even pulled the tray out to do so. Then proceeded to get our next set of bake goods before turning around and losing track of first two bake goods that we asked for. For the other coworker to have passed said order to people behind us in line. Which means we didn’t even get what we asked first it was passed off to people behind us. The employee was just confused even more. So no clue if their first day on job or whatever but that blows. It should had been us getting those but we didn’t. I’ll just stick to ordering birthday cakes then and not recommend anything else for now. Yes, they weren’t even busy when this went down it was legit us and maybe two other small parties.

Updated Review - 10/13/23: Today is Friday the 13th and bad things are supposed to happen…. but not today…. it was someone’s birthday at work and they brought in donuts from Paielli’s…. Mmmm!!! Delicious! I wish someone at work would bring them in every day! I love their donuts! Everyone does. One of my favorite donuts is their cake donuts.

This bakery has been around since 1923, and it’s easy to see why it’s stood the test of time. I ordered two donuts: the original glazed and their signature Cyclops—a chocolate-glazed donut with a dollop of white buttercream nestled in the center where the hole would be. Both were just $1.25 each and absolutely hit the spot.

The bakery also offers kringles, eclairs, donut twists, loaves of bread, cakes, and a small selection of drinks. It shares a parking lot with a strip center, so there’s plenty of parking available.

The staff were friendly and helpful, patiently answering all my questions about their donut offerings since it was my first time visiting. Overall, a charming, old-school bakery that’s worth a stop for anyone with a...
