QUICK REAS: 4*, not 5* because the donuts are good, just not earth shattering (true 5*). I'm new to the area and just started working at the hospital in Janesville and after a brutal 24h call shift I needed AM donuts. I'm NOT a huge fan of grocery store donuts or chains because I'd rather support small businesses, so a Yelp search led me to OFB. Let's get right into it: these donuts are OK. They're not eye-watering but they were good, and better than any grocery chain I've ever had. Better than the DD??... I think so, because they TASTED homemade! By that I mean the dough was a bit too heavy for some, the eclairs were on the smaller side and the sour cream old fashioned was a bit blah.... However! I had read the other reviews (pre C19) and they were way off. Here's what I found, 9/4/2022: 1) place was super clean, super inviting and well stocked (granted, I was at the door 5min after opening so no idea what it looks like later in the day...) 2) the young woman behind the counter was well groomed and really friendly. 3) the other patron in the store behind me had a lovely special-needs (son... grandson..?) and the counter girl was very friendly to him 4) the price was fine for what I got. Like $1/donut.... In today's dollars worth it IMO. 5) The hours on the app matched the hours on the store (a prev review complained about this so I wanted to update to set the record straight). 6) the maple cinnamon roll was delish!!! Cons? 1) the cake donuts are a bit heavy... dense. Maybe add some milk powder to you mix, it lightens doughs more than you'd think. 2) the eclairs are more like lady fingers. Maybe beef them up a bit?? Otherwise, I'm already planning on coming back to get donuts for myself and the staff during my next 24h shift (maybe a loyalty card or something for a free dozen after 10??). I like supporting local. I would recommend to ANYONE in the area to try this place before a chain. It's DEF worth the risk.

I have been coming here since I was little and it is still just as great! The ladies that work here are always very kind and welcoming. Its very clean on the inside and everything is displayed so that you can see it. It's great that you can call in orders ahead of time for larger events or if you need a larger amount. The quality of the bakery items is unmatched. They are always fresh and taste delicious. I think it's great they have beverages to purchase as well. A great hometown bakery!

If you're looking for great bakery items this place has it! Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, doughnuts and more! Everything is made to satisfy your sweet tooth. You can purchase in larger quantities or individually. We have ordered birthday cakes from several places in the past but Old Fashion Bakery has the BEST, HANDS DOWN! Highly Recommend!
