Bendtsen's Bakery

No Cupee Lunch, so straight on to dessert. Kringle is another Racine specialty and no place better than Bendtsen’s Bakery, who have been at it for 4 generations. A whole Kringle was too much (and no way to pack it on a bike) but fortunately they had slices. Can't say no to chocolate, too.

I had to try their kringle because I heard it was better than O&H Bakery. Each have their distinctive taste. Very clean and swift service.

Kringles galore, chocolate mountains, spinach and feta puffs, cinnamon buns. You name it, it's amazing and well priced. Very friendly staff that are very knowledgeable. When we visit family in Wisconsin this place is always at the top of the list to visit. I absolutely recommend it, I would be looking like the mayor in "cloudy with a chance of meatballs" if I lived nearby...

I'm new to the area and was looking for some baked goods to surprise my boyfriend. I found this place not far from where I am staying and looked into it. The reviews online were great, so I figured I would check it out. The ladies working there were very sweet and gave me a good laugh. They told me they sell out on some of the more popular treats very quickly, so there was already not much left when I arrived around 9a. I would definitely get there earlier than late. The kringles were amazing, and they will definitely not last the full 5 days on your counter as they will be devoured long before then (my boyfriend already ate half of one just while I wrote this review). We will return again soon!

After hearing this place is on top of the kringle list, we just had to stop! Service very friendly and informative as we like local history too. We purchased one to take home, but just had to sample some too

Talk about a perfect little store. Whatever sweet treat you are looking for they have it. High quality and not overly sweet. Whether it is their donuts, Kringle’s or other items you cannot go wrong with Bendtsens!

I have a friend who considers himself an Aficionado of the Kringle. he said if you ever go to Racine, you absolutely have to stop at Bendtsen's Bakery and get a Kringle. The drive into town from the interstate took only a few minutes, and the Delight that resulted from this little side trip was worth every minute. The staff was extremely friendly and greeted us immediately upon walking in. Our eyes were met with unbelievable sights. Delightful sites of Bakery Goods, Breads, and of course kringles. We ordered the apricot, and a cup of coffee, sat down and savored every bite. My wife bakes pies, and it is clear that real lard is used in the recipe. The flakiness and lightness of the pastry bread was undeniably delicious. If you're in the area, I would now pass on my friend's recommendation. You absolutely must take time and stop and come get a Bendtsen's Bakery Kringle.

I left Racine a long time ago but I grew up here and everyone from here knows that Bendstens is the last remaining bakery that bakes the way their grandparents did. This generational business still bakes on the same oven they baked on a generation ago. Their delectable desserts aren’t made in a factory like their competitors. While all the Other bakeries in town have succumbed to become production facilities pumping out As many kringles as they can; Bendstens is still practicing time honored procedures That produce incomparable results.

In the world of Racine danish, Bendstens has no peers. They stand alone. 5/5

Coming from New York trying to find a good breakfast spot was hard but this place is by far the best bakery breakfast place around the Racine South Milwaukee area. Not only are the cringles homemade fresh and delicious is a variety of other pastries. Our go to is the cheese and spinach croissant so flaky, warm it up when you get home and it hits the spot every time.

Talking about stepping back in time. This place seems to be the place to get the “original” Kringle in town. Everything is still made by hand and fresh daily. They do have the best Kringle! They use real butter and you can definitely tell the difference in their food. It a must stop if visiting Racine, Wi I can’t believe I didn’t take a picture of the Kringle 🤦‍♀️. It didn’t last long enough to get one. ** we went back for seconds when our guest arrived.
