What a place! The family and staff at Renards not only create incredible pastry, but they handle the occasional long, long lines with friendliness, patience, and smiles. They could probably charge 50% more than they do and still do great business and still be worth visiting.
Can’t recommend enough their sweet and savory pastries, especially the focaccia bread and danishes.

I just made my good morning coffee and hit the road without breakfast, searching for a “Picknick with a View” … AND there it was, in a little town called Princeton, WI, and a European Bakery. YES, sometimes I miss real fresh handmade bread and pastery, and Renards Bakery Shop looked like a treasure chest to me.
I got the raspberry and the lemon cheesecake Danish, and for later, the Walnut Wheat Bread, … just what I needed to lighten up a rainy gray day!

Oh, it was so good! Everything we tried was amazing. I would highly recommend this European bake shop. The young man we encountered was very helpful, and friendly. He gave some great suggestions in regards to bakery items to try. We were traveling through the area, and saw the reviews and decided to stop. If we ever come back this way again, we will definitely be stopping again! We did come late morning on a weekend, and there were a few people in there but we were served right away.

Tucked away in downtown Princeton on the corner, this bakery has an exquisite selection of European baked goods. From their delicious sourdough, baguettes, and fresh breads baked to perfection to their selection of cheeses, honey, soup, and savory items. We love the jalapeño cheddar focaccia bread, scones, biscotti, danishes, rugalach, Mexican wedding cake cookies, chocolate flourless cake, cookies, monkey bread muffins, key lime tarts just to name a few. My husband loves their blue cheese butter and puts it on everything, including his steak. This place sells out fast, so get there early it is definitely worth it! The prices are fair and the staff is a delight! You truly feel like you are in a little European corner cafe but with a great view of historic downtown Princeton. This bakery has indoor and outdoor seating, parking on the side and a little river behind it.

What a great find! Really enjoyed this place. Absolutely loved the Gorgonzola butter (it felt like a creamy cheese spread). Blueberry scone and key lime pie were also absolutely delicious. Will totally stop by again when in the area. Worth the drive if you are staying in Green Lake area.
Come early if want to snag some of their items, they sell fast.

amazing bakery for a small town. Pecan roll is made with croissant dough and is quite excellent. Large selection of good bread (not pictured).

Being European myself this is the closest thing to a euro bakery you will find anywhere. Fantastic breads and pastries. Fantastic staff

The aroma of fresh-baked bread, buttery pastries, and rich espresso hits you the moment you walk in—pure heaven.
The croissants were perfectly flaky. You can tell these bakers take pride in their craft—the quality and authenticity are unmatched.
Whether you’re picking up a loaf of sourdough or a pastry, this bakery is the kind of place that makes your day better.
A must-visit for anyone who appreciates handmade, high-quality baked goods with European soul.

Everything is amazing here! It’s all as delicious as it looks, and it’s fun to see what new treats will show up from week to week.

Amazing bakery, everything here was absolutely delicious. Tried all kinds of pastries and breads and it was all phenomenal. My favorites were the Gorgonzola butter, sourdough bread, and the fougasse was to die for. They sell out quickly so make sure to get there early!
