Very small location but, also efficient. Over the years the customer service has slipped a bit. Their donuts are the best ever! Soft and chewy! My favorite is the glazed donuts! The blueberry muffins are pretty amazing too! When I go home for the holidays, this is a for sure must have!

It currently was closed…read moreto all a traditional landmark in Fox Lake l8ve on with a new owner who have the passion for baking some delicious treats. Meet the new owners Katie and Matt. Their culinary dream of working together has finally come true for them. The decor has been updated and they are still finishing up the inside, but felt the area was so missing the amazing treats this location offers. Trust me after speaking to them many times they will have many of the bakery well known items come back to the shelves and be ready for purchase. Whats nu e is they are offering more options and ways to make sure you're able to get that sweet tooth taken care of and soon will ha e online ordering available. I tested the cinnamon roll (I'm so gett8ng more so delicious and ate have while warm and the other half the next day, it stil lwas so good) and a cherry filled donut for my sister. I also got the jalapeño and cheese bagel yum it had the right amount of goodness and spice that I like. So stop in and have an open mind, try something new that maybe in the pastry Bakery you may have never tried.

Everyone knows Racine kringle which is the most famous but not even close to the best. This bakery…read moreis a throwback with old glass cases showcasing hand made kringle and other bakery delights. We did a taste test between O&H pecan kringle versus Bendtsen's. They both had different qualities so there wasn't a clear winner. Bendtsen's is flakier and drier than O&H with larger pecans. O&H had more moisture, smaller pecan pieces and a sweeter frosting. Bendtsen's also serves more traditional flavors and doesn't make a Tipsy Elf like O&H which BTW is delicious. They are within a couple of miles of each other so next time you're in Racine it's worth trying them both.

If you're ever in Racine, you should really check out this bakery. Being a huge fan of O&H kringles…read moreI had to try theirs. Summer of 2025, QVC was in Racine filming for the Racine Kringle brand and the crew (my sister is a part of) made it a point to try all three in a taste test. Bendtsen's won! They are still handmade unlike their competition. It's a cute little shop and the lady working (not sure her name) was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We could tell she was proud to work there. There were several flavor options left that weekend afternoon and it came highly recommended by my sister to try the spinach and cheese pastry. Ask for it warmed up, delicious!

No sleepy bullshit where a single worker is still setting up and pulling covers off trays, etc. Multiple staff including the owner are on site and ready to deal. They must start hella early. Finally, if you want a real breakfast before eating doughnuts for dessert, they make a very very solid sausage, egg, and bagel sandwich.
