We ordered every type of cake Clasen’s offers for dessert for our wedding reception for approximately 100 people. By the end of the night, there was absolutely no cake left! What a hit! Our personal favorite is the tiramisu, which we used as our wedding cake. Staff were helpful in thinking through appropriate sizes and assisting with packaging the cakes carefully into my vehicle. 10/10 would recommend!

A very good bakery. Prices are reasonable, but higher than local supermarkets. The Cinnamon Swirl Bread is a favorite of mine!! They frequently have buy one get one bread specials. We use Bucky Book coupons to get great savings at Clasen’s European Bakery. They have other great pastries like sticky buns, pumpkin loaves (seasonal) and Pecan tarts and much more. You can even take a seat, grab a reasonably priced cup of coffee and enjoy great baked goods!

This family-owned bakery is hands-down the best in the Madison area. The pastries are incredible, the bread is always fresh, and the staff make you feel right at home. Can’t recommend them enough!

Very disappointed in the quality of the Very Expensive fruit cake.I shared it with 3 people and we all agreed that it was tasteless. No spice flavor. The candied fruit should taste like lemon,cherry,orange and lime. For $60 I expected better. Don’t get me wrong I like a lot of things there but that fruit cake didn’t make the cut.

This bakery has the absolute best breads and sweet stuff. I really enjoy the almond croissant and my wife loves the morning buns. In season they have hot cross buns in addition to all the other Easter goodies. One of my favorites. Their line of breads is very nice, wirh many varieties.

A lovely European bakery. Huge selection of interesting treats. Limited seating inside so think more traditional bakery than the modern cafe model. Everything I had was great and an even better sign was the constant stream of a huge diversity of customers.

I recently purchased a Peach Struesel at Clasen’s. With peaches being in season, I thought this would be treat. As it turned out, it was the worst pastry I have ever had. Oh gosh the taste was all flour and streusel crumbs and 2 small little bits of raw peach in the slice I had. It was terrible. The small little bits of peach were not even cooked from baking. I was shocked by the price at first – $17.99 but thought it would be a wonderful treat. I WAS WRONG. Worse pastry ever!!!

Game day, hand decorated frosted cookies are great. Do not miss out on the cheese artisan rolls, I came all the way from Seattle to get them!

I’ve always enjoyed Clausen’s, their offerings, and their tradition and history in Middleton. And while I have always thought their prices we’re somewhat high, I could justify in my mind at times. However, they’ve crossed the rubicon with their current prices. Yes, inflation, I get that — but the prices are insulting. 3 apple cider donuts for $9.99!!!
2 Kaiser hard roll for $2.40!!!
Disappointing and disrespectful to long term customers, and simply bewildering.
I’m a fan of bakeries, I visit many in Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and elsewhere. No where have I seen increases like this for comparable products.
