Bakery on State — Restaurant in Manitowoc

Bakery On State is an absolute gem. As someone who’s been to countless bakeries, I can confidently say this is the best one I’ve ever visited. Everything they make is always fresh and delicious, it’s obvious they put a lot of care into baking their stuff.

I love apple fritters and have tried them from McDonald’s, Kwik Trip, Piggly Wiggly, Hartman’s Bakery, and many other places, but none of them even come close to the apple fritters at Bakery On State. They’re sweet, tasty, fluffy, and only $1.75.

Their donuts are also phenomenal, super fresh and irresistible. And their sourdough bread? It’s to die for. I can’t get enough of it. The kneecaps are another thing that's usually on my list because they melt in your mouth!

Beyond the baked goods, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff is friendly and makes regular customers feel acknowledged and appreciated which is nice personal touch.

We were in search of the perfect picnic along the lakeshore. We packed a generous amount of Miesfeld's smoked ham, potato salad some sharp Cheddar and fresh Wisconsin butter. All we needed to make it happen was some good bread. We were in T'Rivers and googled bakeries. Hartman's came up first. Unfortunately it was closed due to a fire. Too bad for them but good luck for us because the Bakery on State came up next. We bought a fantastic loaf of Ciabatta bread. Well worth the $4.50 we paid. While we were waiting for them to slice the bread we noticed something interesting in the case. It was a Cronut. A hybrid donut-Croissant filled with custard and or fruit filling. WOW! we didn't eat it until the following morning but it was still excellent. Can't wait to go back and eat one fresh from the case. Very friendly helpful staff is also a big plus. We...

A recent back home visit to see my father let me find this gem. I tried another bakery during my stay. Hands down Bakery on State is the top in town. This is coming from someone that use to do this for a living. Knee caps and donuts were delicious. If you choose filled you will have filling as you eat instead of wondering if it’s even there. The bread and buns were wonderful flavor and very good. Honestly why would you go to the supermarket? The taste, freshness, quality is why I returned throughout my stay. Friendliness from the whole staff was very accommodating. Thank you Bakery on State for making me remember what a good down home bakery in Wisconsin was and...
