Reviews of Linda's Bakery (Bakery)

Louie F.

One of the cleanest and well kept bakeries out there. All their prices went up and its The same good stuff all the time. They are an all scratch bakery and they could do better. Disappointed in their production ideas.

Jeff McGuire

Service is great. I stop in and grab sweets from time to time.

Jordan Langrehr

One of three best places to get donuts and a coffee. Their donuts are amazing! A little pricey but you are paying for the quality.

bruce graber

Linda's never fails to make us happy! We often stop to grab some sweets on the way to go fishing.

ariana watkins

The best pumpkin bread ever, and the icing on the sugar cookies is perfect. Worth the drive.

Good stuff!

John Kuschel

Best bakery, bar none.

Diane Janzen

Love to go to Linda's Bakery, especially before special occasions. The product is fresh and nicely displayed and always tastes great too.

kendall green

Nice place to visit my daughter loves picking her own sweets stop here whenever I'm in the area

Jeff Ellis

Great place to check out ... get ready to buy great desserts!

Joseph Cowburn

You can always find something tasty here at Linda's! We got our wedding cake here and I still remember how awesome it was. They do a great job decorating cakes for birthdays too, and can accommodate premade edible decorations. Call ahead for anything big, but well worth the quick visit for any snacks, treats, or breads they've already got made.

Golden Labradors

Super cool, very clean, great service, very wide range of flavors, huge doughnut cakes, lots of coffee, and even wedding cakes.

Tracy Osthoff

Very Good Bakery but, also Very Pricey $$$

Emily Saphner

Lindas is amazing I ordered cupcakes at short notice and they were friendly and had it ready for me to pick up the next day!

Chandra Nickerson

I grew up in West Salem and had the privilege of eating from this bakery every day. Now I make special trips from lacrosse because it is the BEST. No one will ever beat this bakery!!!!

Bryar Drexler

Absolutely AMAZING baked goods and wonderful service!

Jim Miller

Cake for my daughter's graduation was great

Jessica Brogley

Every year we head to Neshonoc Lakeside. I swear, though, the trip is really all about Linda. With the way my husband talks about this Linda, I should be jealous. She, however, has built an empire that I can never topple. I highly recommend the cinnamon bread...and the sourdough....and the cake doughnuts.

Libby K Dimmel

Personally, I don't visit here a LOT as prices are typically out of MY $ range for casual, random-stop treats. However, Linda's Bakery is truly exceptional &, along with Consumer's Bakery in La Crosse, WI, & Bloedo's in Winona, MN, is in MY top 3 choices for special occasions, from birthdays & housewarming parties to graduations, reunions, & weddings! Linda's fresh creations are displayed in a visually appealing manner. There are a decent number of varieties & flavors to choose from. The employees I'VE interacted with possess knowledge, ability, & service with a smile! High standards & personal values are indeed demonstrated here & provide a professional backdrop balanced with warm, friendly interaction...& delectable desserts! Having started decades ago from scratch & (as I understand) as a single mother, the popzularity of & loyalty to this bakery is no mystery!!! :D

Ethan Yeats

Excellent tasting foods! You have a wide variety to choose from, anywhere from dessert to just normal bread. I got some toasted garlic bread and it was super delicious. Highly recommended!

Anthony G

Always a good variety of fresh made donuts and cookies.

Tara Novy

This is the best place to go for homemade donuts danishs pies cookies cakes u name it they make it!!! Yummy

Joanne Arnold

Was very good Highly recommend

Joe Verizon

We go out of our way to stop here, excellent place to get your holiday (Xmas) treats

Bradley wensel

Do not get the cheese cake cup

Terri Mays

Can't go wrong here. Something for everybody. Gluten free/fat free/sugar free items available. Bacon, soup, dips, coffee, smoothies, flavored lemonades, caramel apples, crackers, bread sticks, pastries, donuts, cakes, cookies, candies, cupcakes, breads, rolls, biscuits, balloons, on and on and on. All reasonably priced plus they have specials. I just wish bakeries would offer sprouted whole grain breads and baked goods. Although they have endless variety and beautiful presentation. I'm holding back a star for flavor on several items we tried. Plenty of dough with endless toppings but not a lot of flavor. Apple fritter for example, not the usual dough with chopped fruit. In fact, we could find no fruit. We could see cinnamon but the wad was pretty bland.

Colleen Hogan

They met the expectation I had after hearing many good things from Coulee Region natives. I wanted to buy one of just about everything when I walked in. I think I managed to limit myself to half a dozen donuts & the orange cake donut really sticks out in my mind. They didn't have a lid for the cheese sauce cup to go with a soft pretzel I got for the husband though- should get some of those.

Claudia Christianson

Some of the best yummys around. Excellent bakery. Highly recommend!!

wesley schar

Thye products are great but very exspensive.

Carolyn Christopherson

Great place to get bake goods

Amanda Weise

I wasn’t too impressed with this bakery. They have a huge variety of things, but almost to a fault where the quality of everything has perhaps been diminished because of the immense amount of things being baked. Also, they didn’t have any fritters, which was quite disappointing.

Isabell Dewester

Amazing food and service

Not Yours

Wonderful gluten free cupcakes! Couldnt even tell difference in taste from regular. Fabulous frappes, bacon donuts are best in town, deffinetly my go to place for awesome cake and donuts

Lisa Koegel

Best garlic toast ever!

Sandy Loomis

Very friendly workers and of course the delicious bakery

Mike Ray

We come up to Linda's every year when we take our annual camping trip... Very yummy treats and the service is outstanding

Linda Griffin

Very helpful and polite

Sammi Ann

Do you remember those fantastic desserts your grandma made you during your childhood? Yes, those wonderful yesterday memories. Well, my grandma never shared her recipes because they were not written on paper. By some miracle, she shared them with Linda's Bakery. Best pecan coffee cake that I have tasted in over 40 years! You don't have to try the coffee cake, it will leave more for me. I promise they have something in there that you can not pass up.

Joel Berens

Great Bakery a must stop.

Ay Ya

My experience with Linda’s bakery was very disappointing. My cake was very dry and I heard constant complaints from my guest. Besides the dryness my order was also incorrect which was very upsetting. I had emailed the bakery twice attaching a a picture of exactly what I wanted. I was then directed to called to place an order. When the gentleman helped me he referred back to the picture and stated exactly what I wanted. I had confident in the bakery since they had a reference picture, but when I arrived i was very surprised that they brought out a cake half the size of what I ordered.

Rich Treakle

One of the best bakeries you will ever find

Stephanie Middlemiss

Linda's Bakery catered our wedding and the cake was not only beautiful, but delicious! They sat down and discussed exactly what I wanted and delivered it beautifully. We had several individuals who were gluten free and dairy free and they got to eat cupcakes because they had options for them (which were equally delicious)! We dropped off ribbon and a cake topper for them to put on and they called to clarify the colors to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. The attention to detail and ideas they helped us with made our event perfect. Thank you so much for making our special day something we will never forget with the delicious and gorgeous cake! -Mr. and Mrs. Middlemiss!

Luanne Shafer

The only place i go for baked goods and custom cakes. Great prices. Hometown feel

Theresa Brueggeman

Delicious food.

Melissa Stoffel

Great variety of donuts, danishes, pies. If you like crunchy garlic toast, this is the place to get it.

Eric Goede

One of the Best Baked Pastries and the best price and verity of kinds.

Robyn McAlpine

Came to Linda's to pick up a cake ordered by someone else. There was an issue with the details and the cake not ready on time. They let me know and were so apologetic. Had to wait to a little but they fixed issue and didn't charge. Perfect example of how mistakes happen it's about how customer service. Lifelong customer, not going anywhere.

Kim Pufahl

Best Almond/ Pecan Danish Ever!

Aswini Ramachandran

I like the cake pops and coupelles very much. Macaroons are very sugary, but nice anyway.

Mya Johnson

Love the delicious donuts! I go there every time I am in that area. Excellent and quick service from helpful employees!

Delaney Collins

On top of having amazing bakery items, Linda’s has great customer service. They made my wedding cake last year and it was amazing. When I needdd a cake for a party, I knew exactly what bakery I wanted to go to. When I picked up the cake, I wasn’t happy with how they decorated it. The color of the cake was completely off from the picture and directions I gave them. I let the decorators know and they redecorated the cake for me. When that cake fell apart of my drive home, I called Linda’s again. They remade a cake and delivered it to my house. The staff was super friendly throughout this whole ordeal. Amazing customer service! If you need a cake or any bakery item, you have to go to Linda’s! I will definitely be ordering my next cake and any future cakes from Linda’s.

Helaine Beier

Have alot of choices,love the pecan coffee cake

Jason Olson

Linda's is a multi generation icon! They create the best eclairs and garlic toast. I have been enjoying Linda's creations since I can remember growing up in West Salem. Our family highly recommends Linda's to your Family.

Jedidiah Venner

I have been going to this place for years. You will not find a better place in the area.

Menvielle gal

Very wide selection of goodies. You can call ahead and have almost anything ordered or ready for pick up and can pay when you pick up or pay when u order. They recently started construction to expand their room to make it bigger. Parking is semi- limited My advice in getting the best selection : " The early bird gets the worm !" If you want to get something before it sells out the earlier you get there the better. They open every day at 6 pm and close everyday at 6pm. They also have a wide range of gluten free products and sugar free. A little something from everyone. They are not shy on their prices though. Expect to spend anywhere from $12-$20 for a couple of items. Single donuts are about $1 a donut. They serve fresh coffee and soup everyday. Seating is limited to a couple of tables due to ongoing construction.

Daniel Moldenhauer

Honestly it's the best bakery around. I will drive 30 to 40 minutes out of the way on occasion just to get their donuts or cakes or anything. They made my wife and I's wedding cake and it was absolutely delicious.

Melissa Siekert

Some of the best donuts in the world. Best custard filled Bismarck and cream cheese danishes.

Hawk Pierce

The best Wedding cake maker in the area. Great bakery also

Keith Magnuson

GREAT PLACE. ONE STAR BECAUSE I'M ON A DIET. I GO BUY MAYBE FIVE TIMES A DAY SO I SAVE MYSELF 3000 CALARLIES. IF I'M OFF MY DIET I'D GIVE IT 5 STARS.

Jeffery Berger

Just like grandmom house

SGT York

Did it taste testing for wedding cakes. Was one of the best experiences I've ever had #localspot

Julia Powers

The BEST place EVER! Love their bakery items!!!

Kelsey Derrick

Ordered a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting for a birthday. The cake looked really good but the frosting tasted like it was mostly made with shortening. I could not taste butter at all. Maybe this is what most people like? I checked reviews before ordering from here because taste is really all I care about. I was disappointed, but I know this is purely subjective.

Patti Ward

Busy great choice of bake goods always smells great

Elizabeth Brodt

Linda's is the best Bakery in the area. I live 15 miles from Linda's so I don't get there very often but every time I make the trip I am impressed. So many wonderful choices from Breads to candy. I am always greeted with a friendly smile and never have to wait to get service. Our family favorites are the Cinnamon Raison Bread with the frosted top, Red Velvet cake donuts and the chocolate covered Macaroons are to die for. I make the trip every couple weeks because they are the best.

Nancy Eckelberg

Best treats ever. Something for everyone... Gluten free, non gluten free, amazing garlic toast and treats for your furry kids

Sophia Karlovich

Wonderful baked goods and friendly employees. I love their doughnuts! A good selection of gluten free options.

I special ordered a gluten friendly cake that was moist and delicious. There is a great selection of pastries, some candies, breads buns, cakes and pies. Everything I have ever tried from here has been delicious! It's pretty busy but it's organized. There is also a smaller seating area.

Kevin H

Linda's Bakery is extremely popular, and with good cause. Everything is fresh and delicious. I think there's a big rush in the mornings? I always come in the afternoon, though, and still find scrumptious treats. I prefer the garlic twists and the Charlie Browns, but they seem to be an acquired taste? Anyway, I highly recommend Linda's Bakery.

Gary Haskins

Any kind of fresh pastry you want you can find there. There pastries are the freshest I've found. There prices are very reasonable. The place is very clean and the folks who work there are just great. If you are looking for fresh donuts or cookies , Linda's is the perfect place to go.

Love this place every time we go. Excellent selection, quality and service. We literally stop in West Salem just for Linda's.

Nichole Westlund

Terry Andersen

Angie Wing

Amazing service, ordered my daughter's wedding cake with cupcakes all I could say was,"WOW" Craftsman ship fantastic. I would recommend Linda's for ANY kind of sweet treats.

Tim Campbell

While on a business trip to the area I researched bakeries looking for one that had gluten free items. I found Linda's bakery and made a short trip there. Everything in the store looked delicious. The nice staff pointed me to the freezer area containing the "gluten friendly" items. They had various cakes, cupcakes, cookies, breads, donuts, whoopie pies, and rolls. They really had a nice variety. Since they were frozen I had doubts on the quality. I allowed them to warm up in the hotel room before tasting them. They were as good as they looked. I wish we had a bakery like this in my town. If you are in the area or looking for "gluten friendly" baked goods, you need to stop by and pick some up.

Sandra McAnany

Best bakery ever. I make sure to stop in when i visit West Salem. Great variety.

Heather Stephens

I grew up in Barre Mills and loved Linda's Bakery as a child. Was always such a treat to ride into town as a family on a Saturday or Sunday morning to pick out our breakfast treats! Now every time I am in town I try to stop in for some goodies! Everything is just as yummy as it ever was! Now to work on removing all those calories! Would be absolutely perfect then!!! Lol! ;)

Rebecca Koehler

Stopped to pick up a birthday cake for my niece! They have an amazing selection, and they personalized our cake in 5 minutes or less!! Great customer service and baked goods are the best around!

greg stillings

Best bakery found in Wisconsin

miranda Hamilton

Best baked goods Ive ever tasted! worth every single penny! VERY reasonable prices and AMAZING staff!

Gary Gray

Very good gluten free pastries.

Josh Wilder

Pretty much the best bakery I've ever been to. Can't say much more. Coffee, cookies, bread, pies, bagels, everything is delicious. There are places to sit and eat the excellent goods by the window.

Dysfunctional Sergeant

Okay where should I start, well ordered cake for my son's birthday, ordered chocolate cake filled with chocolate cream in the cake, lettering was supposed to be blocked letter yellow and blue, on a red, yellow, blue and green. Well what we picked was writing that looked like my 6 year old did it in red icing, misspelling my childs name, on a green cake no filling in the cake. Cake taste same as if baked it out of box with a kit. So pretty much paid $50.00 for them to make a cake way they wanted and decorate my way they wanted with some other kids name on it. The staff there was very nice though.

Wanda Padgett

OMG What an amazing bakery they had everything you could dream of. The donuts were so good. They even had baked biscuits for my dog can't wait to take my husband

Cathy Castro

It was very clean and they have a great Staff. Be Back

bigwillystyle2012

I do love this bakery. We bought an ice cream cake for my wife's Birthday. Some of the prices are sort of high, but well worth it. If you haven't been in here yet, and you drive by, stop in. The bakery is the best. They had pastries in there I've never seen anywhere else and some I've never even heard of. Sweets galore!!! You won't ever go away disappointed! ❤

Valerie Winne

Went in to order a cake. Asked for creative ideas and they didn't have any. I was disappointed.

Micki Jackson

Always a great place. We stop whenever we travel here.

Mark Medinger

Worth the drive out to West Salem. They have everything you could expect from a bakery...creme puffs, cakes, donuts...and none of them disappoint. Well staffed so you can always get questions answered and not wait long to checkout and enjoy. There's little question why this is an award winning bakery.

Matt Bos

Great bakery with even better products.

Damion Gundlach

So many amazing baked goods! Diabetes here I come!

Ms. Savanahrose

Large selection of treats and large bread selection. All yummy. But the only problem is that alot of the workers don't what they should know about the products off hand.

Mary Jo Richmond-Stremcha

The Rossettes were unbelievably delicious. Only took half a day & was wishing I bought more than 1 box!

Brenden Kehren

I love this place! The minute you walk in the door it smells so great. The pastries are so fresh. Staff and customer service is top notch. My favorite treat us the maple covered long john with a slab of bacon on it! Delicious! We often make a special trip just to get a few breakfast snaks.
