We were not aware of this bakery until we spoke with a local resident. WOW! seriously! We were staying at the Treasure Island Resort and made a day trip to Red Wing. So happy that this bakery made our Red Wing experience ever more special. The donuts and pastries were amazing. Maybe some of the best donuts ever. The fresh breads we purchased were also amazing. If you are in Red Wing you have to make this bakery one of your stops. read more

Delicious. A must try when in red wing mn !! We tried the donuts, the sourdough bread, the cake pops (best one I've ever had), and a frosted sugar cookie. The only thing that was not amazing was the frosted sugar cookie. It was anemic looking, and the frosting had no flavor. Lots of seating options and a friendly & efficient staff!! read more

People were great at the bakery and very helpful. This was my second time and both experiences had been great. The donut and bagel selection is great as well as their support to local businesses is a win for the community. Horseshoe donuts (they called it something else ) as well as the scones were very tasty! It has the old flour bags on the walls which speaks to the history of the town. With new lighting it is very inviting read more

Hanisch Bakery & Coffee Shop - Sturdiwheat from Red Wing. A block away from this store - Bakeries Near Me - Red Wing, Minnesota

The cookies and pastries were good, but there is not a loaf of bread there that you cannot completely squeeze with your hands. It's a nice setting to sit and enjoy coffee and a pastry in a nice setting read more

Stopped into this bakery on the way to dinner and was impressed by how many options they had--it was hard to choose! We didn't go overboard since we had dinner plans, but we left with a chocolate cake, and it did not disappoint. It was light, moist, and not overly sweet--just the way I like it. The staff who helped us were a bit bland and not particularly warm or engaging. That said, the quality of the cake definitely makes me want to come back and try more the next time I'm in town. read more

It's one of those touristy places that is "ok" but the hype around it makes you think it'll be amazing. Got there around 10am on a rainy Saturday and there was a line all the way through the space back to the door. The staff was friendly and handled it well. The cafe looked crazy with a line waiting for a table. The main issue, I think, is that none of the items in the case are labeled and move around throughout the day. So neither the staff or people ordering know what's available, where anything is, or where to go to look for anything in particular. If customers didn't have to ask 20 questions to get the 2-3 items they want the line might move quicker and the staff might be a bit less stressed. All that said: the donuts are fine. They're probably Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' quality. Taste like any other mass-produced, dialed in product from a shop that does ridiculous volume. Most stuff is just the same brioche or cake dough with different kitschy toppings. I think you could save yourself some time and a headache by going to Kwik Trip for some glazers and candy to put on top. read more

We were in Red Wing and wanted to check out the bakery voted "best in MN". I'll be honest, other than its massive size I don't personally think it's the best in the state, but probably the best in Red Wing. Their donuts are very typical, and they also sell breads, buns, and a limited supply of pastries. read more

We stopped in here on Saturday. I used to work in red wing and this place has changed a ton! Big indoor retail area! We got some sourdough which is good. We also got a few desserts from the bakery case. The cake pop was very rich, basically just filled with cookie dough. The coconut macaroon was dry and bland. The sugar cookie also had very little flavor. The thing that really got me was all the flies in the bakery case. I watched over 20 files just landing on all the items in the bakery case. That really grossed me out! read more

One of the best donuts I've had. We stopped by on a Saturday morning before leaving Red Wing. The staff was very friendly and the donuts look glorious inside the display case. We purchased two rolls and four donuts. So far they have all been very good and we will be back for a return trip read more

Took a little day trip to Red Wing and knew I had to stop by one of the most talked-about bakeries in Minnesota, and wow, it did not disappoint! I stopped in around 2:45pm on a Saturday, and the place was definitely busy, which I took as a good sign. Despite the crowd, the staff kept things moving efficiently, calling up the next customer as soon as they were ready. I appreciated the semi- organization. The gal who helped me was polite, but nothing particularly memorable just kind of neutral service. The bakery itself is large, well-lit, and decorated with bright colors that make it feel fun and welcoming. It has a really cheerful vibe, and everything is displayed beautifully. Now let's talk about that bakery case... HUGE. One of the biggest I've seen, packed with donuts, cookies, cakes, and so much more. I wanted to try it all, but I narrowed it down to just one item: a chocolate cake topped with chocolate mousse, nuts, and a chocolate drizzle. WOW! This thing was SCRUMPTIOUS. Light yet rich, and totally indulgent without being too heavy. A total YUMMMOOO moment! Already looking forward to my next visit and yup, I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

Delicious rolls, helpful counter service, very busy on MEA weekend. We would definitely go back

Cute little place. We were passing through on a road trip and it's always been on my bakery bucket list to try. I love the little coffee shop too! We got a variety of donuts and pastries. The glazed raised is by far the best glazed I've ever had. The cake donuts were great too! The cream cheese danish might have been our favorite. Wow! It was early when we got there so maybe the staff just had an off day. We weren't greeted nor told what anything was so we were just guessing. Which is ok, we like to try new things. We did get a couple other things too. A white chocolate raspberry scone, not my favorite. Quite salty? Got a Caramel nut roll, was a bit dry but warmed up with a glass of milk and it was good. I'm a sugar cookie lover so when I saw they had some with buttercream on top, I had to get one! I was very disappointed as it was the most bland and not good tasting cookie. I did throw it away. Other than the couple things we will absolutely be back for the cream cheese danish, raised glazed and cake donuts. So glad we got to try it! read more

LOADS of options. We came later in the day which does make me question their freshness though. Everything we got was pretty good, nothing life changing, but hits the spot when you're craving a sweet treat! The person working seemed truly disinterested in our existence, but idk not gonna let that be part of my rating bc sometimes days are hard. read more

OMG, it's been probably 10 years since my last visit! Had a ham sandwich in a lunch box today... all of sudden, loads of fond memories flooded into my mind. Love the little town of RW, too :) read more

Friendly, helpful staff! Bakery side offers beautful + generous selection of delicious pastries and breads. Open-space, relaxing, well-spaced tables and chairs for easy hearing in nice coffee shop/cafe w/great selection and bright windows. Very cheerful place! Great place for brunch and lunch! read more

Best baked goods around. Maple bacon doughnut is a must have - if you are a skeptic get one - life changing.

Best donuts I've had. Super cozy and comfy. The line was decently long but we got through quickly because of the staff. We also got 4 donuts for about $10 read more

We like to stop whenever we're on a roadtrip in that direction. It had changed since last we were there - remodeled a bit. While we enjoy coming there, we felt that the ladies behind the counter were very anxious to have customers make selections quickly . The one that waited on us was even rude. No smiles just standing there like we were taking too much time. I understand it's a busy bakery but we were there after 3 PM so the morning rush has definitely been long over. She didn't seem like she wanted to help us and when we asked for a bag for all the items we bought she never said a word just grabbed one and put our stuff inside. Hopefully next time we stop the attitudes will be improved! read more

We stopped in here to fuel up before hiking Barn Bluff and were delighted by the selection of pastries and other homemade food. The coffee selection was amazing and I was thrilled to see my favorite flavor - Highlander Grog. My boys enjoyed their donuts but the stand out was the cinnamon bread loaf. It was around $4 and could serve 10 people or more. It was soft and delicious. Free street parking outside. There's a good amount of seating inside. I can't wait to come back and try more things.

Hanish Bakery is a really cute place and I love going there, but the donuts are not fresh!  They are the equivalent of day old items, but purchased at full price.  I've come here numerous times and I'm always disappointed!  I'm all excited for a delightfully fluffy, yummy donut, but instead it's hard and crunchy!  Not what I'm expecting!!!  Today I purchased a bear claw and when I picked it up it was as hard as could be, it actually made a "clunk" when I placed in on my plate!  NOT soft and tender and delicious.......Frustrating!! Again! read more

Great setting and great food! I have never found the food to be distasteful. The bakery items are always fresh!!

They were out of Keish. But the donuts and danishes and everything was good. We overdosed on sugar for sure. Would recommend.

This place has a solid rep for a reason: their donuts, cookies, and pastries are AWESOME. Fresh, delicious, sweet, and with a large selection to pick from, too. read more

My wife, son and I went on a busy Saturday. The line was long but the staff handled it well, and the line moved swiftly. We got a box of assorted donuts and enjoyed everything. I had some boomerang shaped pastry filled with cream. It was phenomenal! I highly recommend you try them out, if you haven't been. read more

I have seen so many rave reviews of this place that I took a road trip to try the doughnuts. I left underwhelmed. Edelweiss Bakery in Prior Lake has much better doughnuts. If you're in Red Wing and need a doughnut fix, sure, give them a try. Just don't expect them to be the best doughnuts you've ever had. read more

BLT wrap was delicious, donuts were good, everything was reasonably priced. Smoothie was a little too sweet.

Great prices, good pastries, okay coffee, not so nice service. This is a unique and cozy space with a large selection of pastries! They also have ice cream, coffee, and a selection of cafe foods. My partner is truly addicted to donuts and would eat them everyday if he could, so naturally we had to make a stop here while in the area! Large pastries for a very good price! It was hopping on a Saturday morning, so he jumped in line for donuts and I jumped in line for coffee. We took everything to go, but they do have two sections of indoor seating first come first serve. Hard space to socially distance in when busy. Pastries were very tasty, coffee we did not finish. A note about the service: The lady taking my order seemed upset. Get in get out vibes. Normally I wouldn't write about service as generally people are not paid well in the food industry. We made sure to tip which seemed to surprise her. The tip jar looked empty for how many people where there. I also want to note I worked bakery life for 5 years, and understand the high demands these business place on employees. The second incident that forced me to write about service took place when my partner was in line for donuts. He witnessed the employee shame the lady in front of him for not knowing the name of the pastry she pointed at. NONE of the pastries are labeled, so of course people are going to point at what looks good. Street parking, we took the donuts to a scenic spot on lake Pepin to enjoy with a view! read more

We stopped in here before work one day to grab coffee and donuts, I've been in the area for work before and never noticed this spot, but so glad we found it! We didn't call ahead, but they took our group with stride - making two to go coffees swiftly. We got a couple dozen donuts, which they picked out, and wow! What a selection! I was sad I couldn't put down more than one because I wanted to try them all. I got a latte in the morning with white chocolate raspberry (heads up to the barista - raspberry syrup curdles straight in milk, so try pumping it into the espresso before adding milk, a common mistake), and came back in the afternoon for a chai. They use tiger chai which is one of my favorites, so good. I'll definitely make it my stop in the mornings next time I'm in town. read more

We love Hanisch Bakery, amazing donut and pastry selections along with fun cookie options. They make the world's greatest maple bacon donut and the softest, most delicious hamburger buns on the planet I do a lot of traveling across the country and Hanisch ranks up there as one of the best bakeries I've ever encountered Don't change a thing! Keep doing what you do! read more

It's hard to find a great donut these days, but if you crave a really good donut, get down to Hanisch Bakery in Red Wing. In the spring they have Paczkis - a beautiful filled donut usually found in Polish bakeries around Eastertime. Hanisch's version consists of a lovely, slightly sweet dough with abundant fillings including apple, cherry, raspberry and even buttercream. Just one of these beauties with a cup of their excellent coffee makes a satisfying breakfast or afternoon treat. We will definitely be back to try some of their other award-winning goodies! read more

I love Red Wing and finally checked out Hanisch Bakery. Definitely felt "touristy" as many looked like they were from out of town on a day trip. Regardless, Red Wing is a great place for a day trip and a business meeting! :-) I tried the raspberry, white chocolate scone...big bummer. Super dry and not much for flavor. I could smell the powdered sugar from the glaze straight away. Not much flavor to the glaze - typical powdered sugar concoction. Also sampled the maple donut with nuts and that was yummy. My recommendation, stick with the donuts. read more

I don't know what we got but they were all good. I especially like the one that loo like a horseshoe with the filing it was perfect. It's a light custard touch like cream puffs filling only clearly not mass produced. I am not a fan of muffins but this one is moist and you can taste the orange flavor as advertised. And the coffee options were great I had that horseshoe pastry with the perfect custard filling again 033019 and what can I say it's perfect. We also had the almond coconut crunch box for $6. No complaints worth the money. read more

Service was terrible, idk it's because we're black but the face they've given us raises eye brows, we were passing by to have some sweet treats. I had to beg to get help and put the stuff on a bag. Literally she pushed the stuff I bought after I paid and I didn't like that. Get better read more
