Being a chubby monkey, I don't eat donuts very often, but granddaughter wanted a donut so we popped in for a chocolate donut...FLUFFIEST, LIGHTEST DONUT EVER! Good job, Baker's Bakery! read more

Pretty good little place given where it is located. It is hard to rate the service since it was very slow, but will give the benefit of the doubt that it was due to the onslaught of bikers that day. Everything was fresh. tea was too strong. Hubby had mexi-burger that was pretty tasty and nice size. Fries were delicious. I had the special, which was a philly-cheesesteak type sandwich. It was ok, not great - meat was good, not much to it. The bread is homemade, including the buns. Food took awhile to arrive, but waitress was working hard and was apologetic. read more

We decided to eat here on our last day in Custer, I wish we would have stopped in sooner! This place was delicious and the wait staff is very entertaining. We ordered pancakes and coffee with a side of bacon. The portions are huge and the service was wonderful. Don't leave without trying the donuts,cinnamon rolls or the bear claws. The size of the cinnamon rolls are huge! Breakfast here is worth the wait! read more

If I based this review on food alone, it would be 4 stars. The biscuits and gravy were delicious. Hot fresh biscuits, and well seasoned gravy that wasn't too greasy. The service, on the other hand, wasn't just slow...it was terrible. There were 4 of us for breakfast, and our waitress brought 5 breakfasts out, and said: tell me which ones are yours. Also, it was not busy, so service shouldn't have taken that long. read more

Our waiter was attentive and provided good service. We enjoyed the baked goods (had 3 varieties between 2 of us over 2 days). The meals were mediocre, though. The worst was my husbands burger. It was obviously pre-pattied, frozen variety, and the color was pretty much grey. There were a LOT of flies flying around and fly swatters being used by the tables. read more

Food was average. Their fresh baked breads were good. I saw a waitress from another restaurant there, he was rude here too.

On my first visit, I had a buffalo burger & fries. Food was good, but the burger was overdone and a little dry. Fries were beer-battered goodness and the homemade bun was the best part of the meal. On my second visit, I just wanted to get my to-go mug filled with coffee. It took 10 minutes. I was the only person standing at the counter and every single waitress (3? 4?) walked by, smiled, and kept walking. It wasn't very busy in there (tables were about half full), but everyone apparently had something else to do. And after all that, the coffee tasted very burnt and was over $2 for a 12 oz cup! I think their specialty is bread and sweet treats, so maybe I'll give it another try before I leave town. Also, no wifi. Very sad. read more

Mediocre lunch food, friendly wait staff, fair pricing. The pastries are fantastic, the food needs some work though. It's mostly bland food, average faire. read more

Okay food. Limited breakfast menu. Nothing to write home about. Lukewarm pancakes. They were out of bacon! How does a breakfast diner run out of bacon? They were also out of most of their donuts. Friendly staff, fast good service. No water offered for our table. Bizarre. Tons of employees, yet understaffed. Out of a lot of other things too from what I could tell from other customers. Out of milk? This keeps going downhill as I type. read more

This place is so good that while here for 2 days we ate here both mornings. The bread and pastries are made in house. I had the breakfast burrito one morning and the meat and cheese omelet the other. Both were so good that kids ate their breakfast and most of mine both mornings. The donuts are excellent according to my kids. The caramel roll is a must! My husband and I shared one after my kids ate most of my burrito. It was fantastic! It is like a cinnamon roll with nuts and caramel sauce. So good! If I ever find myself in Custer, SD again I will definitely be back. read more

So fast and so good! Breakfast burrito delicious and will keep you full the entire day. The caramel roll was outstanding.

We stoppped for lunch. The staff was dis-interested and they were out of almost all of the fresh baked goods. Te sandwiches were fair at best when we finally got them. They had one sweet roll in the case and it looked flat and like a solid sugar square. My recommendation is skip this place and go down the road to the Purple Pie. read more

Stayed in Custer and read reviews for all the different places. Stopped by after a hike mid-afternoon. The food was good but not great. I had the Buffalo burger which was dry. We bought a few bakery items on the way out. Cookies were good but not spectacular. Overall a good experience, but we didn't find it 5-star worthy. read more

Amazing atmosphere! The owner will sit down, hang out and talk with you for a bit! They can get a bit busy and they don't allow for substitutions during the summer but overall awesome! I not only enjoy working at this place but I love the food too! Cherish (the owner) works beside her employees to make this place run smoothly and you can tell she takes pride in her restaurant! Did I mention how awesome the donuts are? Must try! But get there early cause they go quick! read more

Caramel rolls, apple fritters, doughnuts are the best I've had outside the mom and pops in RI. Caramel rolls are a SD thing and are really good. Ate there for lunch and it was ok. read more

Five star sticky buns! And excellent chocolate donut too! We just popped in for pastries to-go so I am not sure about the rest of their menu. I would definitely go back for another round when we return to Custer. read more

We stopped in for 2 small coffee's, a caramel brownie and a cheesecake bar and we were shocked at the $15 total! The baked goods were very good and the coffee was alright as well but we felt the total was ridiculous. Unless, you are really craving something sweet and have to have it, I'd pass, not worth the cost. Sorry, just my opinion. read more

The pastries are amazing!!! The aromas that were floating in the air is what drew us in. So happy we tried them out.

Best breakfast anywhere around and the pastries are to die for. Probably the biggest and best breakfast burrito with green chili that I've ever had. Don't miss this place. read more

Had the baker burger and made it a Mike with fried onions and special sauce. It was tasty and filling. Onion rings were good with a light batter. Had a peanut butter stack for dessert on my way out. read more

I would give the place 5 stars, but the ugly political sign at the door is unacceptable. BLM doesn't mean you don't support law enforcement. SD is so lily white this serms like a menacing message to POC. Sad, b/c the food is great, good gravy and gluten free options. Great service, too read more

One of the best breakfast I have ever had in my life was at this place... Cheap and huge portions of food. We ordered the Breakfast burrito, Oh good it was hugeee, filled with eggs,hash browns,veggies, sausages and extremely filling. read more

The good was great, donuts were fresh and black rye was out of this world! Will definitely come back next time we're in these parts!

This was a great comfort food spot. I wish that they had more to offer besides cheeseburgers, but mine was very good. I also got onion rings and those were excellent as well. The waitress was nice and the restaurant itself was ok. Overall a pretty average experience. Was torn between 3 and 4 stars but because I did enjoy my food I decided to go with 4. read more

This place was recommended for good coffee and donuts and that was our reason for the visit. The coffee was definitely a 2 star and tasted more like Folgers or Tasters Choice. The donuts were good and we got glazed and it was fluffy and tasty. read more

What a great find in this small town. Bakery in front that had a huge assortment to choose from. Due to the rally, it was pretty busy, but we were seated quickly and had excellent service. She had a garden burger and I went for the special "Mike's" burger. Both were very good and came with plenty of fries. This is one you shouldn't miss. read more

Hubby and I came here almost every day during our vacation in the Black Hills. All we ever got were iced lattes to go, but they were very good. Service was prompt and friendly, and everyone who made us a latte did a great job. It's not easy finding coffee worth drinking, but we were very happy with Baker's Bakery! And it's fun to go to a bakery owned by a Baker. read more

What a great place! Had an excellent server, and the special of a breakfast taco was yummy! Husband said his ham & cheese omelette was good. We got one of their cinnamon rolls to go, and ate it later. Got to have more of those! read more

GREAT PASTRIES, however we had lunch and it was just awful. Spoiled salad, blue cheese dressing was rancid, a basic hamburger was terrible. We did purchase pastries to take home and they are off the chart wonderful. read more

There are a lot of good food choices in Custer. This is my favorite by far. During our trip to the Black Hills, we ate breakfast there 3 times and lunch once. The green chili salsa on the breakfast burrito is fantastic and the breakfast sandwich is one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches ever because of their homemade buns. The lunch was great as well. read more

Great little bakery in Custer, SD. Loved their cinnamon roll.

What a great find! We stayed at Keystone, during a visit to Rushmore, and travelled to Custer before visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial. Service was exceptional (we had a lovely and very hard-working waitress, Donale)! The food was great. My kids loved the perfectly cooked eggs, and my son loved the home-made caramel walnut pastry. My egg sandwich was delicious--made so by the homemade sourdough bread and perfect eggs and ham. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars was the decor, which was still perfect for a breakfast joint. Would come back again, and every morning of our visit. read more

Their buffalo salad was wonderful! It was similar to a taco salad but with bison meat. The dessert selection was incredibly tempting, but we restrained ourselves. read more

We almost didn't go here because it didn't seem like a place to get lunch but I am glad we did. The burgers and onion rings were really good! We sat in the back and it was a bit cozy. The service was great! read more

Sorry this post is a little long but it's a story I think should be told. After reading several good reviews for Bakers Bakery & Café we decided to try it as we were leaving South Dakota. So on the morning of Friday September 27, 2019 we made a point of stopping there. After waiting a couple of minutes we were seated. Moments later our server (Lauren) came over. Ready to take our order we told her we wanted coffee but hadn't had time to look at the menu yet. She said she'd get the coffee. After she brought coffee I told my wife she acts irritated as if we're a thorn in her side. When Lauren returned we placed our order. 1, bacon, eggs, hash browns w/sourdough toast and 1, sausage, eggs, hash browns w/sourdough toast. We also requested the toast be buttered edge to edge while it was hot, so the toast didn't turn into croutons. This didn't seem like too outlandish a request. When the food arrived I found the toast had been half way buttered with what I presume was the griddle oil used in the kitchen so I asked for some butter. Lauren brought two packets of "Land o' Lakes Buttery Flavored Spread." While I was applying this undesirable spread it occurred to me that this is a bakery. So I asked a different server if they had real butter. That got Laurens attention; she came and asked what was wrong. The other server told her and Lauren got real butter from the refrigerator and put it on the table. Before I could ask to have the toast remade Lauren said that butter was not used in the kitchen anyway. I never got a chance to ask for a toast remake because that was when Lauren got a hostile attitude and declared "we had been a PAIN since we arrived there." She followed that with the threat that she'd have her cousin "throw us out." My wife said she'd like to see the manager, Lauren said I am the manager. Lauren said we should just leave at which time we said we would. We also informed her we wouldn't be paying for anything either. After all, the food had just arrived at the table we hadn't eaten yet. That was when we left. It seems to me for a business that relies on customers coming through the door they sure have a strange way of treating customers that haven't really caused a problem. I don't think I saw any employees that actually had a good attitude. If the self identified manager, Lauren, has the nerve to tell customers they've been a "pain" ever since they arrived then maybe ownership (relative or not) needs to rethink their choice for manager. Especially when the customer hasn't made any particularly troublesome requests. We certainly won't go back and will make a point to dissuade everyone we know from going there. I had to give a 1 star rating because I couldn't give a 0 or a negative. read more

We were very disappointed in our breakfast. My pancake was cold in the middle & tasted like something frozen I'd buy at the grocery store. Both of our eggs were rubbery & cold. They were NOT actual eggs, they tasted like a continental breakfast at a motel. My sons pork chops were definitely dry & his has browns tasted from a frozen package & oily. We each had decaf coffee that was old & weak. We were each charged for a glass of water. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. Our bill was over $30 & we left very hungry. read more

Our family (2ad, 2ch) stopped here for lunch after winding our way through Custer State Park & the Needles Hwy. Quaint place with excellent service and delicious food. read more

My family and I came for lunch while visiting Custer State Park and the food was okay. Burgers were decent but not spectacular. They didn't bring everyone who asked for it any water. The reason for my low rating however was the fact that I asked for cheddar instead of american cheese on my western burger and was told a big fat no! She said it was too busy for the cooks to give me a different cheese. Yet she substituted an entirely different side for someone else in my party (gave fries instead of cole slaw). I was just flabbergasted. I have never heard of a place refusing to give you a different type of cheese on your burger. I mean, seriously!? read more

Went in August 2015. Breakfast burrito was awful. The extremely sloooooow service was, well, sloooooooooow. There were lots of flies and it was stuffy inside. I go to the Black Hills frequently and will not return to this place. read more

The classic smothered with green chile is wonderful. Good food, fast friendly service.
