I've been purchasing bakery from Simma's since they opened many years ago. It never disappoints! From the (special order) apricot-filled cheesecake to the morning buns, from the petit fours to the carrot cake, and from the sour cream/walnut coffee cake to the amazing chocolate/caramel brittle at Christmas...I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite. It's beyond me how any of these deserve less than 5 stars. They were named one of America's top 25 bakeries for a reason!! read more

The best part of my wedding (we're now divorced). And even though I live in Chicago now, Simma's is worth the drive. I get my birthday cakes here. Mmmmmm. read more

Recently visited the place and had their famous cheesecake as well as their carrot cake. Personally, I wasn't as wowed by this place as all the hype about this place would lead you to believe. However, it is good and worth a consideration if you're in the area. read more

Excellent cakes and such. Ordered a cake for a wedding shower that was DELICIOUS. The "sample" portions were huge. Great service and location. read more

I just love this place, and I'm so glad I made it here before they closed at noon on Sundays. I always love their frostings because they are real buttercreams, plus as I discovered today, they do an excellent job with seasonal items. I tried the apple caramel cake today which was amazing and very fitting for the fall time weather! I cannot wait to get more next time I return! May I also emphasize that this place is very reasonable as far as pricing. I bought three bakery items for $8. Now that is a deal, so don't let this crazy four dollar sign thing scare you away! read more

I had their cheesecake and the pettie-fours and they were all to die for. I had two groupons and for my order, things were well. For my mother's groupon, things went a little south due to pricing adjustment. She ended up having to buy more to use the entire groupon but it was still good. read more

Simma's is amazing! Ever since I was a little girl my dad came here and would bring home amazing morning buns for breakfast on the weekends. Fast forward 20 years and they did my wedding cake! It was an amazing tasting and beautifully decorated five tier cheesecake. I'd take off a star for the cake's very expensive price but it was totally worth it. I must say that it was fairly overpriced to come in to sample the cakes but oh well. My husband is in the military so we only had a month and a half for to get things ready (can be hard to plan in advance since the Navy isn't about granting days off too far ahead of time) and Simma's pulled everything together quickly for us. Have em do your wedding cake, your guests will love you! read more

We used Simma's for our wedding cake based on knowing how awesome their cheesecake was. The cake was the best and we received so many compliments on it. The design was exactly like the picture I showed. What impressed me the most was the service! They called me a month before the wedding and the week of the wedding to confirm! Having vendors call you doesn't happen very often so they were by far one of my top vendors. read more

I 100% agree with on of the previous comment about poor business practices it should say "poor customer service". This is the second time I've had an issue with Simma's and using groupons there and it will be the last time I will be going to Simma's. It is unfair that Simma's manipulated the group on expiration date to specifically exclude the last 3 days it is valid and then they are closed on Monday's the last day the certificate was valid. Participating in group on is supposed to increase business and boost sales. Based on what has happened to me as well as the previous person and I'm sure MANY OTHERS all this business has ended up doing is angering potential customers. Choose to either 1 participate in deals through Groupon and ethically honor those deals or 2 don't use such coupon/deal sites to increase business. Not everyone will be willing to spend $30 for a cheesecake but then stick with marketing to those who will and stop participating in the discount deals and irritating loyal groupon users with such manipulating limitations. read more

While I agree that Simma's has wonderful bakery and cakes, I find their customer service lacking. I have ordered 3 cakes over the last 9 months for various occasions and each time I called to place the order I was put on hold for more than 10 min. In one case I sat on hold for just over 20 min, hung up, called back and sat on the phone again. When I have walked in to do a pick up there seems to be a complete lack of happiness by the staff. The cakes that I have purchased were very good and very well decorated. They never messed any orders up and the orders were always ready when they said they would be. I have also had their cupcakes they have in their case when you walk in and they are delicious. read more

THEE best! If given an option I will always try to get the cake from Simma's! I have been gettin my birthday cakes here ever since I was a kid and now I get my son's birthday cakes here too! The buttercream is so fabulous! I have found myself ordering bigger cakes than needed just to make sure that there are left overs. I also have been traveling in the winter time from madison area for the last 6 years or so just to get my birthday cakes from here! The last couple of years I have gotten myself two cakes. One for just me and a select few people and then the one that I share with everyone (if I'm going to drive an hour for my cake during the winter time in Wisconsin I might as well get more than one). I usually can't just pick my cakes up and go either. The wide selection of individual pastries is to die for! I personally enjoy the fruit tarts and mini mocha cakes. Yummy! read more

First experienced Simma's cheesecake at a friends wedding. Their cheesecake is some of the best cake you will sink your teeth into! It is not cheap but the little bit more you pay for it is definitely worth it. Ended up getting one of their cakes for our wedding and everyone loved and asked where it came from !!!!! read more

Simma's has some AWESOME cheese cake. I was ecstatic when I placed an order 2 days before Mother's Day and they were able to make my cake. First time I have been here and the service was excellent. Was a bit late to pick up my cake, but I was still able to retrieve it with no hassle. read more

Cheesecake is by far superior to all other cakes and they make a good one. My brother had their raspberry cheesecake at his wedding and ohemgee - it took everything in me not to eat a second piece. Best wedding cake ever. read more

We ordered a cake for our 60th Wedding Anniversary. From the gal taking our order to the finished product, we were more than 100% happy. The cake was beautiful, the light texture, decorations and taste were amazing. Our family, kids and grandkids were there to celebrate with us and the cake earned 11 stars. Thank you Simmas. read more

Wonderful second-generation Russian bakery. Cakes & pastries are works of art!

Cheese cake= one of the best I've ever had Red velvet with cream cheese frosting wedding cake was top notch and even more delicious then what we had during the tasting. Cake was beautiful looking Was just as/ more affordable than many other places in the Milwaukee area Even people who don't like cake said it was the best they ever had. read more

Simma's has the best cheesecake! It's a nice fluffy cake with thin layer of raspberry and chocolate ganache on top. Decorated beautifully and the taste is incredible! read more

I've had a few different sweet treats from Simma's. All of my sampling has been from events at work so I can't say much for the customer service or the interior of the bakery. I just know that their cheesecake is TASTY! From what I understand, expensive, but it's melt in your mouth creamy. The chocolate on top adds to his charm. I'd consider going in the door if an event came up. read more

This place is phenomenal! The cheesecake is delicious and the staff is always great. My 4 year old wanted cheesecake for his birthday, and I am not always so fond of cheesecake so Simma's was a natural choice. Very happy with the entire experience and the birthday party guests were pleasantly surprised. read more

SOOO good! I don't know what was in that oatmeal caramel bar thing I got, but I still crave it! I don't live in Wisconsin, but next time I'm there, I will be going back to Simma's! read more

This place has quite a history. Simma was legendary and built an iconic place. Family took it over and almost destroyed her legacy. So much so that I stopped frequenting the place. The new ownership has taken it to a pretty high level and expanded it into a destination store. Can hold its own against any bakery in the country. read more

First time and it was great. Huge chocolate fan and they had a wide variety. Pricy but expected for the quality of food and all the awards they have won. read more

Any morning that starts with a Simma's pastry is bound to be a good morning. I've recently discovered that Simma's is also good in the afternoon. No dry pastries or lack of options here despite it being 4:00 in the afternoon. The portions are large, buttery and rich. I was full after 1/3 of a chocolate and carmel-covered morning bun-like confection. read more

Simmas is amazing! Love their chocolate chip muffins, they are heaven. A lot of their bakery items are very reasonably priced also. Some of their more seasonal items, like their reindeer aka puppy chow food, are more expensive though which makes me a bit sad. Overall though, I have yet to be disappointed with any purchase. The only reason this isnt a 5 star review is that the staff is a bit lacking in their bedside manner so to speak. I know they are usually pretty busy but a friendly smile and a thank you would do wonders! read more

Having purchased wonderful bakery here for catered events, a wedding and general yummy desserts for 30 years, I have had a turn of events. The new and cold remodel has customers take a number, and wait with nobody around to serve. Took my number, no employees around. Waited at lest 10 minutes as the customers grew around me and finally called out, 'hello, is there anyone here'.' There is no bell to ring for help. I asked for 4 pieces of cheesecake, and when arrived home found that the containers were too small, the tops stuck to the lids, one packed sideways. The new changes are not improvements. read more

Delicious bakery items. I've tried almost everything and it's all so delicious and quality. It's a bit on the expensive side, but worth it. read more

We actually ordered mini pastries through Simmas to try to do something out of the box, rather than a run of the mill wedding cake. They provided excellent customer service, catered the best they could to our request when it came to coordinating the tastings and were wonderful to work with. Day of the wedding, everything went smooth and the desserts were a huge hit. We had the Cheesecake Squares, Chocolate Eclairs, Cream Puffs, Double Dipped Domino Cheesecake, Tiramisu Cups, White Chocolate Petit Fours, Fruit Tarts and Chocolate Truffle Cups. I highly recommend Simma's and look forward to using them for other major events, though they are a bit pricey! read more

Awesomeness!!!!! Ordered a seven layer Pineapple cake for a birthday party and boy was it great!! That's when I realized why Simma's is rated so highly. I have tried a few mini-pastries as well and I have always been very pleased. The cakes are top notch and I have always loved the service here; the girls at the counter know their stuff, and are very welcoming. The only thing that I was uncomfortable with was when I ordered the triple layer cake and they did not have a box to pack it in which I found a bit surprising because I am sure they make cakes bigger than the one I ordered. But the cashier was able to fashion a bigger "box" out of 2 individual ones, so no harm done. If you are ever in the Milwaukee area, I suggest you make a stop here even if you have to make a detour. You will not regret it, I guarantee! read more

Second special occasion they screwed up will not return. Im very upset will steer friends and family away suggest you beware if it is important read more

The absolute best award winning cheesecake ever! Quality products and service! Highly recommend!

Terrible service when ordering on the phone. Cheesecake is okay, but when we bought a Groupon they did everything they could to not let us redeem this!! When we called to order a stock cake , they wanted us to drive out to the bakery and order in person because we had a groupon. It's not worth the hassle !! There are many other cakes out there. The irony is that we are planning a wedding and wanted to try the cake we were ordering as a possible wedding cake. I just canceled the entire order and groupon. Obviously they have plenty of business! read more

We had a Cake from Simma's at a baby shower and now we are hooked! We live in Waukesha, so Tosa is not a long trek, but still a drive. It is well worth the jaunt for us. Peggy and her team are top-notch. Our first trip there we were in search of the fabulous cake from the baby shower. We explained the cake to the young lady and she said they did not have that exact cake but guided us to some very similar and equally delicious single slices. We have also stopped when in the area and have had assorted pastries. Those too are awesome. The only drawback is the parking, but as long as you aren't scared of parallel parking that is not even a deterrent. read more

Simma's bakery is cute and delicious and very good at what they do. However, I just spent 30 minutes waiting to pick up my pre-ordered cake. There were 2 customers served in the time that I waited. The service was slow and unknowledgable. I feel as though the standard for service should be much higher at a high end bakery. Very frustraeted and disappointed. read more

We are appalled by the customer service we received from Simma's. We booked with them 6 months ago for a wedding in July 2018. Just this morning, we received a phone call that Simma's will be closed during that time and they have now cancelled our order. We are less than 7 months from the wedding with no cake or sweets table. During this phone call, they made no effort to correct this mistake. Turns out, they close down that time of year every year but failed to figure this out until now. They have now made it our problem to resolve and offered no suggestions or help. We would have appreciated a call from the owner or even them working with a new vendor we selected to ensure they could duplicate what we had ordered. There are a number of ways they could have handled this to make this situation better but the way they chose to inform us just made everything worse. We had been so excited to select them as a vendor and so loved their food but now we will never work them again. UPDATE: we just received a call from the owner who offered an excellent solution. Something we would have expected to receive when we first heard this news. We appreciate her call and chance to discuss our options - much better service. read more

There is a reason they consistently get voted best cheesecake. I just ordered the 4x6 size cheesecake for my Mother In Laws birthday celebration an it fed 6 adults and 2 children. I ordered their specialty which is a layer of raspberry goodness followed by the amazing cheesecake followed by a chocolate cake layer. That is then covered with chocolate ganache- it is simply to die for. Creamy, rich, decadent- everything a special birthday cake should be! They decorated it really nice with frosting, flower and writing. I couldn't have been happier and it was 10 times better than anything I could have made !! We also ordered our wedding cake (cheesecake) from Simmas and they did a seamless job of delivering that to Elkhart Lake in one piece and our guests raved about it - I didn't get to eat it as I was busy bring the Bride :-) Every year in our anniversary, we go get a slice of cheesecake to celebrate our love! read more

Best cheesecake ever! Devine, delicious, heaven in your mouth. Hands down, you will not find any cheesecake better than here. Their other cakes are delish also! read more

Simma's is known for the best desserts, however I have found their customer service to be less than desirable. I was there this morning and was treated poorly by an unsavory worker. I was treated as if I was bothering him trying to pick up my order, and as I tried to make additional purchases he reacted dramaticaly as if it was a huge incovienance for him. All in all good desserts but poor service. read more

I was having difficulty deciding which bakery I should choose to do my baby shower cake, so picked Simma's after a friend recommended it. I've never tried their cakes before but have read the reviews and they all seem good. I called Simma's to talk to someone about the type of cake and design I wanted. I was told that someone would call me back but that person never did. I called three more times within the week but was told the same thing. In the end, I'm back to square one of finding another bakery. Simma's customer skills leaves a lot to be desired and it only takes one bad word of mouth for Simma's to lose potential clients. read more

I honestly am not impressed with the sweets and bakeries at this place. All I taste is sugar, there are no real flavors that pop at me. It's disappointing because it's supposed to be one of the best bakery/sweet shop in the area. As my rating says, I've experienced much better. read more
