Hartman's is a great place to walk to on a weekend morning. Although I haven't been inside in a bit, from what I remember it doesn't have room for seating. This quaint shop has AMAZING doughnuts and for a place that's so popular in town, they're surprisingly fast with grabbing what you want. read more

This bakery, located in the middle of a neighborhood, was a great stop en route from Green Bay to Des Moines. Founded in 1950 and with recent new owners, this storefront is a real treat when you walk inside, as the fresh scent of the bakery is everywhere. I wish the help would have been a little more warm, but that was the only negative. Grabbed a box of kolaches, and so glad that I did. Wow. Considered one of their fresh breads, apple fritters, and cookies, but the kolaches were the winner and were awesome. Street parking works, and their prices are solid. read more

As a person who loves bakery and knows the difference in fresh and old. I wanted to try this place because friends told me how good it was. Totally disappointed that two different doughnuts were like 3 days old stiff. A bakery should always be fresh and soft. read more

Updating my review, still five stars! The new owners are just as good as the previous owners. Fresh, tasty bakery items with a wide variety of pastries, bread, cookies, buns, etc. Super quick friendly staff! Very reasonable prices. An updated look that is cute. Every time I'm in town I stop here. read more

Fresh, delicious kolaches on a Sunday morning! Lots of yummy fillings! 5 dozen nicely boxed & ready to travel to Green Bay!

This place has gone down hill both in quality and variety. Came from out of town just to buy bakery. Was sadly disappointed. Some of the bakery was great, especially the hard rolls. I came specifically for the kolaches. So sad. Most were broken and crumbling in the box. You could not even lift one out of the box before it literally fell apart in my hands. They used to make them individually. Round. Now they make them like cakes and just cut them out like a piece of cake. Yuk. I am sure this saves time, but the bread is inedible. So disappointing. read more

THE BEST bakery! From special orders to the best sugar cookies in the state....go get your piece of heaven on earth

I normally go here once a month on Friday to get my coworkers a giant box of bakery. Hands down the best bakery in town with a great assortment and great price. read more

I do recommend the bakery for it's delicious bakery items! The folks there are pleasant. I had placed an order for something that they didn't have when I was there and later had to call them about it. They answered the phone and put me on 'hold'. Not a silent hold, but just put the phone down. I heard everything going on, they were busy, BUT, they left me on hold for 8 minutes and counting.... I finally hung up. Err goes the dropped star. I definitely recommend them, just need to a bit more conscientious for ALL customers. read more

Great neighborhood bakery. Only place in town with poppyseed berleiners and kolaches. So glad to see they re-opened after a terrible fire last year. I go there every time I visit Manitowoc. read more

So disappointed! I have been going to the Manitowoc location for years today I was disappointed. I came I. With gift certificate I bought in Manitowoc and was told that because they said Plymouth they couldn't be used. I've used them at previous times. This place had always been a destination stop when we visit. My visits will stop. I'll try the other bakery on State street read more

Went to Hartman's bakery today. Bought a donut and I would give it one star. It was dry overcooked burnt and even burnt. Unfortunately will not be back because this is not the first time that the donuts taste dry. Almost taste like there are a couple days old. This is unfortunate because I have an Airbnb a half of a block from here and I always recommend the bakery shop to the people that stay there. I can't recommend the bakery shop to the people that stay in my Airbnb. read more

While the baked goods are very good, the service is not. On a recent visit, I was the only person in the store. The lady behind the counter impatiently rushed me through my choices, did not listen to my responses and asked me repeatedly. She also rattled off a policy about a limit of how many dozen a person was able to purchase. Nowhere in the store was this policy posted so how is a customer supposed to know? She was very snippy and huffy while filling my order, and giving me dirty looks while I finally checked out. I was about to leave without purchasing anything but needed the baked goods for a small event going on that evening. Unfortunately, the attitude and treatment I received is enough to quit going to Hartman's. I will not set foot in there again nor will I recommend them to other people. There are other bakeries in the area. I sincerely hope this is not how the public at large is treated. read more

Beautiful and tasty sweets! We visited from St.Louis and we loved this little shop. Tremendous variety and great prices. Friendly faces to boot! read more

We love Hartman's so much we'll drive an hour from mke to get donuts! Our faves are the cherry cake donuts and the apple fritters. There is also something so delish about the frosting on their sugar cookies. I want to marry this place read more

I was very disappointed when I went to pick up the order that I placed 5 days ago when they told me that they tried to contact me an hour before I was supposed to pick it up that they were unable to get it done. The lady asked if it would be ok if I picked it up tomorrow instead. So a word of caution if you need something on a specific day they may not be able to. read more

Hartman's donuts are one of my favorite parts of Manitowoc. The chocolate frosting is incredibly fudgey and the donuts are always made to perfection. They also have wonderful coffee cakes, breads, and rolls. If you are in the area, make sure you stop by this little shop on the north side. There is no space for eating inside, but you can take your donuts and head down to the marina for donuts with a view. You also need to spend over $5 if you are going to use a credit card. read more

I go way back with this bakery. I've been buying bakery here since I was in high school (I'm 70 now). This is a great place to get fresh bread; and a plethora of sweet treats. The filled chocolate cupcakes are wickedly delicious. Best place in town to get kolaches. If they used organic ingredients I would gladly give them the extra star. Still a great place to quiet your sweet tooth. read more

Hartman's is everything you could want in a bakery. I grew up in Manitowoc and have lived in 4 other states so I can say that it's incredibly rare to find a quality independent bakery like Hartman's. Donuts, kringle, stolen, kolaches. They do them all well. I also love their freshly baked breads. If you live in Manitowoc, or are just passing through on vacation, do yourself a favor and buy some fresh bakery at Hartman's. read more

#1 hands down best sugar cookies YOU WILL EVER EAT!!!! Their friendly staff takes custom orders so they are THE PERFECT treat for any party you may be hosting. A+++++ read more

My hometown bakery. Every visit back, and I've been gone since 1981, requires a visit for long Johns, door county cherry Danish, poppyseed kolaches! Great hardrolls for brats and hamburgers. My all time favorite is their chocolate cupcakes with creme filling. read more

Really delicious decorated cookies. We got a hot dog cookie and a hamburger cookie and i thought they would be sickly sweet (but my daughter would love them), but they were just soft, balanced and delish and I could have had three. Highly recommend!!! read more

Sunday morning, by 9 AM the selection was pretty thin. The donuts I did get were pretty hard and tasted like they were made the day or 2 before. The chopped peanut covered white cake was fabulous though. It did not feel very welcoming inside. Maybe they were just having an off day. read more

About this small bakery store they make Fresh donuts a very days . I'll love to come back for more donuts and hope they make new favorites donuts in the future. Keep up Hartman's good job. read more

We always get out fresh bread here and they slice it for us. There is a different specialty bread everyday.Wonderful desserts too! We always bought cookies from them if we were going to an event, and their seasonal desserts are always good too (mini pumpkin pie squares are amazing!!). Just make sure you know when they're open when you're going, they open pretty early but close pretty early as well and aren't open on some days during the week. read more

I love Hartman's Bakery! They are so thoughtful with the sweets they make and they are super good on top of that! I would highly recommend stopping in here for a cookie! read more

This is the type of place that defines America. Nothing short of amazing. Even if one is just passing through Manty, stop here and at least get a few pastries for the road. Hartman's is worth the detour. read more

Peanut butter and jelly donut. Oh my. So good. Exellant variety. I stop here to treat our business partners to a naughty sweet 12er of donuts. Never let down. read more

I've tried white toast, whole-wheat loaf, Vienna bread, marble rye bread and I'm always satisfied! I couldn't find out exact word to describe how I love this place, but good quality, and freshness is guaranteed. Once you tried, you won't go somewhere else to get another loaf of bread! read more

Bakery is very good, however, when you special order cookies they do not look as good as the ones sold in the bakery. Very sloppy.

Yum, that about sums it up! The blueberry turnover was good, everything was. Best of all they had dog treats so I didn't come out empty handed for the pup. read more
