Stopped here for an afternoon pick-me-up and was not disappointed! Apparently baker Jen has been a…read moreFood Network baking champion three times?! When we saw that sign we had to stop in. A handful of options to pick from, and I loved seeing two GF options. I got the brownie cookie, and it was fabulous! For beverages I got chai - it wasn't very warm and only filled 3/4 way, so I had to go back and ask them to fill the rest with hot water. My partner got a pumpkin cold brew and he loved it! He picked a vanilla sprinkles cupcake - there was only one left, and he was pretty bummed: it was stale and pretty flavorless. I think we picked wrong on a few things, but the brownie cookie and pumpkin cold brew were delish!

For a very special occasion, while friends and I were in Trempealeau, I ordered a cake from Omega…read moreBakery for 9/2/25. It was indeed a beautiful cake - our group was really pleased. Unfortunately we all agreed that the cake which was supposed to be lemon with raspberry filling had no taste of lemon, was dense and dry and I think the edges of it were way more solid, like chewable. We ended up throwing this expensive cake in the garbage. There is no way to phone this bakery but I did text the owner of our disappointment of the cake And heard nothing in response.

It was a warm, bustling little place, with lots of friendly folks on staff and plenty to choose from! The white chocolate cookies are great, the donuts are awesome (my favorite was the maple bacon, so far), and the stacks on stacks of pre-packaged treats promise something for everyone. I adore the puppy chow, and my partner can't get enough of their cake pops. They even have dog treats for your furry friends! I've been here three more times since, and plan to return whenever I can.

I asked for separate packaging for the gluten free cupcakes I had ordered and got an argument.

Always remember not all people know about Celiac (I had assumed the reg and gf would be packaged separately - my mistake). Fine, I learned. But the person had no right to argue with me. I won't go back because of that incident.

We had them cater our wedding and about 50 people didn't get to eat because there was no food left. We had to order pizzas for our guests that didn't get food and did not get reimbursed for the cost. I called them twice and they said they would send a check in the mail to cover the cost of the pizzas.... Never got the check. They claim they served 350 people, but we did the math and there was only 332 people that attended. Very ignorant on the phone when I tried explaining what happened and ruined the night for many of our guests. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

It can be quiet inside, probably with all the important executive decisions to be made. Best unsolicited advice, get many, especially if you're not from Winona, and come back when you can - I know I will!

Absolutely glorious. The current apples included Zestar, Honeycrisp, and Sweetango. The shop included honey, maple syrup, a good variety of jams, and other products. They had a great selection of freshly baked goods, and also had some frozen apple pies available. We bought an apple turnover and kolache along with two bags of 1/2 peck bags of apples and a strawberry jam. The woman at the counter was very friendly and helpful. We shared the pastries, and WOW, they were good. Based on those, I'd love to try their apple pie someday!
