Wild Flour Bakery

Their bakery is really delicious even their day old bread. You have to check from time to time and they offer different breads, cookies and muffins. The sandwiches here are just delicious! Small Bakery on Milwaukee’s south side that is so worth every visit and every penny!

Stopped at east troy shop at 4 pm on Saturday jan, 10. Stood at counter 7 minutes no service. The woman said she would be with me but I guess got carried away with a task? I just wanted a couple cinnamon rolls. She was not very interested in customer service. The products are good and I usually get good service. Little on the high side but good quality. They have a discounted area to the left as you walk in that sometimes yields some good deals. Just caught them on bad day. I visit 2 – 3 times a month.

I stopped here randomly before an interview and am so happy I found this little hidden gem. It’s a quaint and cute neighborhood bakery. Though its small, it size only adds to its coziness.
This place has the best cup of coffee I have had in a long time. I took my mom for a cup while she was visiting from Chicago and she drank it with delight. There are a variety of great pastries and desserts.
I’m glad this place is part of the neighborhood!
(P.s. I got the job, by the way, and often enjoy coming to Wild Flour on my way to work :))

Found WildFlour while researching options for a healthier, less-​preservative-​filled bread source around MKE. After looking at their website (
) it seemed like the best place to try, and luckily, there was a location somewhat close to me on Lincoln Ave (They also have locations downtown, in Bay View, and East Troy, and also sell their products at several farmers markets around town — found this on the website!)
The Bakehouse on Lincoln Ave was a cute little bakery-​café-​type place (a bit off the beaten path), with breads and brittles lining the shelves, cookies and such in the display case, and a little eating area to partake in their soups and sammies. I was just there for bread this time, but I would definitely head back to try some of the foods.
It was tough deciding on a bread — so many unique choices — I went with the whole-​grain sourdough (the lady working there helped me by showing me an ingredient list — no preservatives!!), which ended up being quite tasty. Also picked up the Sesame Semolina, which was AWESOME (and the husband liked it quite a bit as well :)). I must admit a spurge purchase of some almond brittle on the way out the door was a good decision as well, because it is really quite tasty.
Back to their website — It is really quite a good website, which I always appreciate from businesses — and apparently you can order their breads on-​line and they will ship them to you!
Overall, a good first visit, and I am excited to taste more bread!

I like this place. It’s small and has that nice neighborhood feel. The baked goods are fantastic and the choice for desserts are plentiful.
Unfortunately, it is too small to really have a full-​on kitchen, seeing that the bakery takes priority of any restaurant aspects. That would explain why some of the sandwiches need help from a microwave or small toaster. Either way, the sandwiches are pretty good.
I highly recommend this place, though it has its misses, it has many more hits, especially the really friendly service.

The husband I finally stopped here for a bit to eat. I love this place, the sandwiches were great. I had the tuna salad and a cup of the chicken Catalina soup. The husband had the blt, we each received a free cookie. This is place is a jewel and we will be stopping again.

Cute little place! I got the vegetarian (hot) sandwich and it was really delicious! Also, it definitely tested my self reserve when I saw all the desserts, breads, treats, etc. Brownie bites are a must :)

Damn, what a downer. I really wanted to like this place & have it be my local hangout.
I bought cookies (choc chip & peanut butter) & some rolls.
You know somethings wrong when you give a guy cookies & he says «These cookies suck».
The menu is small, & too pricey for what they are & has only a couple seats.
Damn. Can’t give it a good review :(

I went to this bakery today because I was starving and in Milwaukee for the afternoon. I had gotten directions to a sandwich chain nearby, but thought I would probably get an overall better experience at a small bakery. I think I would have been better off at the sandwich chain.
I ordered a BELT and an iced coffee, and then went to peruse the selection of locally made jams and salsas. Not very long later, I heard the microwave Ding! and my sandwich was brought out to me in a bag. The guy then ushered me out the door and locked it behind me, and it all happened so fast that I forgot to ask for my iced coffee.
When I opened my sandwich, it was soggy and the bread wasn’t toasted. The eggs were rubbery and seemed damp (hard poached in the microwave?), and the bacon was rubbery as well. I had to take the eggs off and just eat the sandwich without it.
Overall, I definitely wouldn’t go back for the sandwich, so I’ll probably never know about the coffee.

Seriously, UnilocalMilwaukee? It’s been 18 months since Wild Flour’s last review? I guess you’re too busy getting huge mugs of yummy Pumpkin Spice Lattes and other specialty drinks to leisurely enjoy in their nice homey space. Or maybe you’re too busy chowing on an elephant ear, an apple turnover, or some other great piece of Bakery that this Milwaukee chain excels at. Or perhaps you’re buying a loaf of their famous bread and running home with it, with no time to Unilocal.I mean, lose!
Or perhaps you’re the band member that’s responsible for feeding the Troops during your marathon recording session nearby… if so, a Quartet of Sandwiches is in order! The Chicken Salad with grapes, on a thick cut country bread was a hearty and heavenly intro. The Big Bird was A-​Ok for a turkey sandwich verse, but the Panini-​Grilled five-​layer grilled cheese is the chorus that will take you to the top of the charts! Number one with a bullet, Wild Flour!
If I lived in lovely Bay View I would be here all of the time for breakfast, lunch and for Saturday coffee and sweets. But since I’m only in town for another day, tomorrow will have to do! See you for an Encore, Wild Flour. Rock on!

Great bread!

Great little bakery… everyone was so friendly and helpful from the moment I stepped in a bit overwhelmed by everything that looked and smelled so good! I sampled the brownie bites, which were amazing and bought some of those for my brother in law who enjoyed them.
Then I went to a cute little cupcake which I ate later… it was white with lemon filling and tall dot of raspberry frosting which was rolled in coconut. Yummy and only sixty cents! They also had chocolate ones with cute bright flower frosting that I’ll try next time.
I also grabbed a loaf of asiago bread, yum. Then some cookies to take to the office. They have a Thursday sale, buy 1 package of cookies get the 2^nd for $ 1. I’m thinking it’s because they are getting to the end of their lifespan. The peanut butter cookies I got were very hard… my coworkers still loved them so maybe it’s just me I prefer a soft cookie. In my other cookie bag I got the most amazing thick cookie that had chunks of chocolate with pretzels! It was really good, but again dry/​hard but very interesting… I’d recommend those.
For my husband I got an elephant ear, which by the time I made it home after my workday and errands around the city it was broken into lots of little pieces. He said it was also dry.
I grabbed a menu and definately plan to go back for a sandwhich and maybe some soup. I was disappointed that they refer you to the website but it doesn’t even list the soup of the day (they have 2 that change daily).
Overall, it’s a cute sweet little place I’d recommend. I love the variety of breads and desserts. The best part is it’s all natural ingredients that I’d cook with myself (but am too lazy to do sometimes!) so this is the next best thing. It has that home made feel to it which is really nice in today’s world of fast food chains!

I tried this branch this morning on my way to Chicago for the day, and was totally psyched at the fresh egg and cheese sandwich they produced fresh at my bidding – with REAL cheese. My husband got two ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches, and was very pleased with his offerings too. We even each got bonus cookies with our sandwich orders. We also tried their granola for the first time today: A unique version that includes sesame seeds, apricots, and craisins that is also well worth the purchase. It’s fantastic to find an artisinally focused shop where you can get a hot, fresh breakfast built as a neighborhood’s corner store.

I’ve sampled breads and sandwiches at this Wild Flour location near my house as well as the one inside Grand Avenue Mall. The Lincoln Avenue location is housed in an old building with a mosaic sign that reads A. Schmidt Bakery. It’s a nice store that offers a wide variety of fresh breads, soups as well as coffee. They have great baked goods and fantastic breads, I especially love that they are close to my house as well!
