Sturgeon Bay Bakeries
Honey Bee Door County
Where: 217 N. Fourth Avenue, Sturgeon Bay
Go for: Drive-through treats, specialty drinks and custom-order inquiries.
Honey Bee Door County brings a bakery drive-through to downtown Sturgeon Bay, with baked treats, coffee and specialty drinks. It’s a convenient option when you want something sweet without unloading everyone from the car.
Honey Bee also advertises custom orders for birthdays, weddings and other occasions. If you’re planning a celebration during your trip, contact the bakery with your date, serving count and design ideas before settling the rest of your dessert plans.
Planning tip: Check its latest social posts for the current menu, drive-through hours and ordering availability.
Scaturo’s Baking Co. & Cafe
Where: 19 Green Bay Road, Sturgeon Bay
Go for: Fresh bread, pastries, cookies and a full breakfast.
This is always our first stop when we arrive in Door County! Scaturo’s Baking Co. & Cafe is a useful stop for families whose breakfast orders range from “just a cookie” to “an actual meal.” The bakery makes breads, rolls, cookies, pastries and pies, while the café serves breakfast and lunch.
Pick up something for the road, sit down to eat or bring a loaf back to your rental for tomorrow’s toast. Its take-home meal offerings can also help with dinner after a long day out.
Planning tip: Scaturo’s is an early-start option. Check its current bakery and dining-room hours, which aren’t always the same.

Egg Harbor Bakeries
Pink Bakery
Where: 7778 Highway 42, Egg Harbor, behind Salute
Go for: Donuts, pastries, cupcakes and special-occasion desserts.
Pink Bakery covers a lot of sweet territory: cookies, pastries, cupcakes and other bakery treats, plus espresso drinks. Its downtown location makes it easy to work into an Egg Harbor morning.
It’s also a good starting point for birthday planning. Pink Bakery explicitly offers special orders for birthdays, anniversaries and weddings, along with custom cupcakes and cookies.
Planning tip: For a themed cake, send a reference image and ask what designs the bakery can accommodate, how far ahead to order and when pickup is available. A special-order menu doesn’t guarantee that every character or design can be reproduced.
Fika Bakery & Coffee House
Where: 4614 Harbor School Road, Egg Harbor
Go for: Scandinavian-inspired baking, cinnamon rolls and coffee.
Fika Bakery & Coffee House takes its name from the Scandinavian tradition of pausing for coffee, something to eat and good company. That makes it a fitting stop for a vacation morning with a little room in the schedule.
Its Egg Harbor visitor listing highlights giant cinnamon rolls, cardamom coffee cakes and Ole rolls. The bakery also serves breakfast and lunch, so the stop can be as small as a pastry or as substantial as a meal.
Planning tip: Use the Harbor School Road address when navigating; older references may associate Fika with Fish Creek.
If coffee is as important as the pastry, bookmark our Door County coffee shop guide.
MacReady Artisan Bread Company
Where: 7836 Highway 42, Egg Harbor
Go for: Artisan bread and picnic supplies.
MacReady Artisan Bread Company is the stop for people who get as excited about a good loaf as they do about dessert. Its breads are slowly fermented, hand-shaped and baked in small batches.
The selection varies daily, with listed varieties including Italian semolina and Door County tart cherry and dried cranberry bread. Choose a loaf to pair with Wisconsin cheese, make sandwiches for an outing or take home as an edible souvenir.
Planning tip: Ask which breads are available that day and whether you should reserve a particular loaf.
Wood Orchard Market
Where: 8112 Highway 42, Egg Harbor
Go for: Bakery treats and a farm-market shopping stop.
Wood Orchard Market bakes donuts, pies, strudel, bread and cookies, making it much more than a place to pick up fruit.
This is a useful stop when everyone wants something different: bakery for now, specialty foods for later and a few gifts to bring home. Its bakery page is a starting point for planning your sweet purchases.
Planning tip: If you have your heart set on a particular pie or pastry, check availability before visiting. Leave enough room in the car for the things you didn’t plan to buy.
Fish Creek Bakeries
Sweetie Pies
Where: 9106 Highway 42, at the Settlement Shops, Fish Creek
Go for: Pie slices, small pies and whole pies reserved ahead.
Sweetie Pies makes it possible to enjoy pie without committing to a full-size dessert. Its offerings include slices, five-inch Cutie Pies, three-inch Precious Pies and frozen pies to bake later.
For a family taste test, consider small pies in different flavors and let everyone choose a favorite. A pie flight is a fun alternative to the usual afternoon ice cream stop.
Planning tip: Full-size baked pies must be reserved by phone at least a day ahead. The bakery asks customers to try to allow three days for certain special orders, including cream pies, no-sugar-added pies and crumble tops.
Ephraim Bakeries
Klaud’s Kitchen
Where: 10420 N. Water Street, Ephraim
Go for: Scratch-made pastries, cakes, cheesecakes and something savory.
Klaud’s Kitchen combines a scratch bakery with a broader café menu. Its official site highlights pastries, cakes and cheesecakes alongside food ranging from breakfast burritos to pizza.
That variety makes it a practical stop for a mixed-appetite group. Someone can choose dessert and coffee while someone else orders a meal.
Klaud’s was also among the birthday-cake suggestions shared by readers. If you’re considering it for a celebration, ask directly about custom cakes, design options and advance notice.
Planning tip:Destination Door County lists Klaud’s as open year-round, making it worth checking for an offseason visit. Confirm current hours before heading over.
Sister Bay Bakeries
Cultured
Where: 2570 County Road Q, Sister Bay
Go for: Sourdough bread, bagels and a savory bakery stop.
Cultured belongs on the list for bread lovers. The Sister Bay visitor bureau describes a sourdough bakery specializing in bread, bagels and fermented foods, with coffee and sandwiches also available.
Choose it when your ideal bakery purchase is a loaf for the weekend or a bagel for breakfast. It also gives a bakery tour some variety between the pies and pastries.
Planning tip: Check the current ordering options and baking schedule before making a special trip.
Seaquist Orchards Farm Market
Where: North of Sister Bay on Highway 42
Go for: Fruit pies, Swedish almond cake and orchard bakery treats.
The Seaquist Orchards bakery makes scratch fruit pies, cookies, Swedish almond cake, apple cider donuts and limpa bread.
There’s an extra reason to bring curious kids: a viewing window in the market lets visitors see the bakery crew at work. It’s a chance to connect the treat in the bag with the people making it.
Planning tip: Seaquist recommends arriving early for selection or placing a pickup order when you want something specific. The farm market operates seasonally, so check its calendar before visiting.
Gills Rock Bakery Stops
Bea’s Ho-Made Products
Where: 763 Highway 42, Gills Rock
Go for: Homemade pies, fresh cookies and pantry gifts.
Bea’s Ho-Made Products pairs homemade pies and fresh cookies with jams, jellies, pickles, relishes and other specialty foods.
It’s a worthwhile stop to consider during a northern Door County outing, particularly if you want dessert for the evening and a few jars to bring home. Destination Door County notes that the pies and fresh cookies are available in-store.
Planning tip: Check store hours and bakery availability before driving up specifically for a pie.
Where to Ask About Birthday Cakes in Door County
If a birthday falls during your vacation, start with these options:
Honey Bee Door County: Advertises custom orders for birthdays, weddings and other occasions.
Pink Bakery: Offers special-occasion orders, including birthdays, plus custom cupcakes and cookies.
Klaud’s Kitchen: Offers cakes and cheesecakes; contact the bakery to ask about custom birthday designs.
When you reach out, include the celebration date, number of servings, flavor preferences, budget and a reference photo. Ask about the order deadline, deposit, pickup window and refrigeration needs.
For a character-themed cake, confirm the exact design before paying. If an elaborate cake isn’t available, coordinated cupcakes, decorated cookies or a simpler cake with your own topper may work well.
Plan a Door County Bakery Outing
You don’t need to drive the entire peninsula to make a morning of it.
For a concentrated bakery outing, choose Egg Harbor. Pick a pastry stop at Pink Bakery or Fika, get bread at MacReady and leave Wood Orchard Market for treats to take home.
For a Sturgeon Bay morning, choose according to your appetite. Honey Bee suits a drive-through stop; Scaturo’s works when you want bakery plus a sit-down meal.
For a northern Door County day, spread the stops out. Consider Klaud’s in Ephraim, Cultured or Seaquist around Sister Bay, and Bea’s if your plans take you to Gills Rock.
Buy a few things to share, keep whole pies level and pack a cooler if you’re purchasing desserts that need refrigeration. Ask each bakery how to store what you buy.
A Note About Older Bakery Recommendations
Some familiar names still appear in older Door County guides.
Door County Bakery, known for its Corsica Loaf and Corsica Stix, says its retail bakery and restaurant have closed. It continues to accept phone orders for those products, so contact the business rather than planning a walk-in visit.
Grandma’s Swedish Bakery is marked permanently closed on its official social profile. It should not be treated as a current bakery stop.
Make It a Weekend

If a bakery outing is part of a longer getaway, browse our Door County family stays. Choose a base near the towns where you expect to spend the most time: Egg Harbor puts several stops from this guide in one area, while Sturgeon Bay, Ephraim and Sister Bay suit different parts of the peninsula.
And consider buying tomorrow’s breakfast before leaving today’s bakery. Waking up to good bread or a box of pastries is a pretty pleasant vacation plan.
This guide includes dedicated bakeries, bakery cafés and farm markets with their own baked goods, from Sturgeon Bay to Gills Rock. You’ll find Honey Bee Door County and Klaud’s Kitchen alongside places for sourdough, Scandinavian pastries and small pies worth sharing.
