Rocket Baby Bakery - Wauwatosa

I absolutely love the chocolate and butter croissants, and the French loaf is fantastic too. The bread is beautifully crafted. However, now that the tables are open, the service has become chaotic; it’s unfortunately slow and disorganized. The front staff seem unsure of what is available, despite there still being items on display.

As others have mentioned, the bread and pastries here are excellent. However, the ordering process and service for drinks and food leave much to be desired. We ordered breakfast sandwiches and coffee, and while the sandwiches were served within about 10 minutes, we struggled to find our drinks afterwards. After enjoying our food at a table outside, we went back to see if our drinks were ready, but they were still not prepared. There seemed to be plenty of staff milling about, yet very few were actually assisting customers. You pay at the cashier and then have to wait for someone to eventually call your name, which feels quite chaotic. Additionally, if you visit their stand at the farmers market, be aware that the bread is priced $2 higher than at the bakery, and they still request tips on their payment screen.

And of course, the blueberry danish remains my favorite. I apologize for only sharing a photo of the blueberry pastry; I was too excited to try the apricot one! The pastries are beautifully crafted and truly game changers! You have to check them out – you won’t be disappointed by the incredible freshness that delights your taste buds. Once you try them, there’s no going back!

Love this place. They have truly exceptional pastries and delicious bread. The best thing that they had during the pandemic was a walk-up window so that you could go up and order even if you were taking your dog out on a walk. They've since opened up their cafe and have the walk-up window only for online orders. It'd be great if they could still accommodate people who are walking with their animals and have a sign saying that you can take your order at the window. Especially because the location of rocket baby and the most walkable neighborhood in all of Wauwatosa. Stil love this place though, so everyone in the area should patronize it because it has some of the best pastries in the state and arguably in the country.

Always great bakery, if you can withstand the ordering process. You can see the bakery as you go through line, but then told it is sold out. Or you order and they lose your ticket. Bring your patience.
