National Bakery and Deli

We went here to try their ham and rolls and were not disappointed! We were able to choose sliced or shaved ham and also the kind of rolls we wanted. We also bought some of the bakery items, which I’m assuming were good, because they were eaten before I got my hands on any. An excuse to go back!
In addition to the fresh bakery items, there is a frozen food case with turnovers and the like to bake at your leisure.
The service was friendly and the ladies behind the counter were very patient. We were alerted to all the specials going on, but were not pressured to buy anything.
They are easy to find on Broad street in downtown Greendale, right next to the Greendale library.

Went to order a Halloween Birthday Cake — Was immediately greeted by Lucia!
Not only was she extremely personable and provide excellent customer service — but she took the time to go over frighteningly fun decoration ideas to make this Halloween Birthday Cake a smash!
National Bakery is DELICIOUS — you can’t go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu at any National Bakery Location but Lucia is the reason we return to Greendale!

We were in the bakery today and I only saw one clerk. She was trying to take a cake order it appears on the phone Had 2 people in front of me waiting to get some bakery. After ten minutes I walked.
I have had some stale bakery in the past but thought I would try the rolls. Back to grebes on Lincoln next time. A lot further drive but at least they have fresh bakery and very good service

Staff Went the Extra Mile
Recently, my wife and I ordered a couple of very special cakes made by National Bakery, located on Greendale’s Broad Street. I can’t say enough about how incredibly pleased we were with the results.
We worked very closely with a woman named Lucia, who made the entire experience a sheer joy. I would like to have included a picture of both cakes! The wedding cake was to be simple and was executed exactly as we ordered it. The ‘Barbie Cake’, which incorporated a Scarlet O’Hara doll which we provided, was a very exacting project, however. It was an extremely specific request which was carried out flawlessly by the staff. Lucia saw to each and every one of our needs perfectly. So, both cakes looked amazing and were expertly made. Now for the taste…
INCREDIBLE! Both the cake and the butter cream frosting were out of this world! I’ve enjoyed plenty of cake in my life; and this was, without exception, possibly the best ever!
We recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone in need of a special bakery order or just a little something that’s pre made. Kudos to National Bakery. Thanks for making our special day even more so by providing an amazing display of exquisite taste, decorated skillfully and beautifully. Pamela and Casey Couse

My husband should be writing this review since he is the real customer! A couple weeks ago, my husband went into National Bakery in Greendale with the desire to buy a coffee cake. Imagine his disappointment when he discovered they only take orders and make them fresh! He reluctantly ordered one for the next day and thought, «wow, that was kind of pricey.» After bringing the coffee cake home, he cut a piece and savored every bite! He said it was THE BEST coffee cake he’s ever had! The buttercream was delicious and just the right amount… spread between two layers of a moist, delicious coffee cake. Two of our 3 college aged sons were home and they totally agreed!!! (Now if they only made gluten free ones, then I could’ve tried it!) I just placed an order for another buttercream filled coffee cake. Thanks, National Bakery for making my family happy!

Keep Calm and Paczki On is the theme at National Bakery for today. What a welcoming experience as soon as you walk in the door. Very friendly greeter and fabulous accordion music playing. They were very prepared for the crowd today as it is Fat Tuesday. You are handed a check sheet to fill out before you get to the counter to make your ordering process move along.
Can’t wait to try these fabulous paczkis with my family today. They sure smell good.

horrible for the deli portion! theres better sandwich’s given at the county jail i am sure! i had a turkey and provolone sandwich 2 slices of turkey 2 slices of prov which were thicker than the turkey on regular sandwich bread which was all ripped up from them spreading hard butter on it. my husbands italian was on a roll where the bottom half of the roll was 3 sizes smaller than the top portion. i mean maybe their bakery is good, i am not sure i never tried it nor will i. horrible service horrible food.

This has to be the worst bakery in Wisconsin. Tried several things because they looked good. Believe me, looks are deceiving. Bought an elephant ear which had half inch of sweet disgusting frosting on it. Bought a chocolate éclair that had NO filling, the dough had no taste and had half an inch of sweet disgusting chocolate frosting, Isn’t there supposed to be custard filling? Bought a crawler that was old and dry and had no flavor. They get their bakery from the main facility on 16^th Street in Milwaukee I was told and looked forward to trying it. Problem is, they must get the bakery delivered once a week because every single thing we tried was OLD and dried up. I never had such awful bakery. Totally a waste of money and it’s expensive besides. I don’t mind paying good money for good bakery but this was awful.

best chocolate frosted donut ever

Donuts were not fresh and some were hard. They tasted like they were a day old. Only got two dozen and i had left overs because people didn’t like them at all when the same group of people would finish treats twice the amount. Went there twice and both times were bad. Stay away at all cost!

I’m happy my first experience with this location was on Paczki day. The bread, donuts and deli meats are the best of the best! They have beautiful cakes, cupcakes and cookies. In the heart of downtown Greendale!
