Rolling Pin Bake Shop

I have eaten lunch here a number of times and always had a great meal, food taste wonderful & the service is solid as well. A+, would recommend! With that experience in mind, I ordered a custom cake made for my child's birthday. They knocked it out of the park. The cake was delicious and the custom design was perfect!! I was so impressed with Rolling Pin start to finish. It was easy to order & pick up, and the cake was amazing in looks AND flavor. I would happily order from here again & highly recommend them to anyone and everyone for cake, bakery, lunch, everything. Rolling Pin does an excellent job in all they do!!

Stepped into have a lunch. Friendly service. They have great menu system; two separate sheets for breakfast (pink) and lunch (white). I posted both in photos. They are known for their desserts but we were starving for food. Ordered a Cuban sandwich, potato pancakes, and a steak sandwich. Prices are in line with what you would encounter in similar cafes. The wait for the food was quite long, worth the wait but took over 15-20min. The winner was the Cuban sandwich - I will be going back for it. The potato pancakes came in second place - so good and not soggy with grease! Amazing! We enjoyed all. You probably are wondering what about the steak sandwich; good flavor in chimichurri sauce and everything but the steak cut was not great; tough and grisly. It’s a busy spot, people coming and going, picking up or ordering cakes. They have tables indoor and outdoor to sit and eat. There is no table service; you order at the counter and pay. They bring the food out when it’s ready. You bus your plates to a station when you are done eating. It’s a lovely neighborhood nook. Can’t wait to go back to try more and enjoy the desserts next time.

Rolling Pin made the perfect 6” Jack Skellington cake for our Nightmare Before Christmas-obsessed toddler’s birthday! So much personality in a little cake! It was delicious too. We would for sure order a custom cake from here again.

Rolling Pin worked with us to do a mini dessert bar at our wedding. They were so professional and easy to work with! They even surprised us by making the cake cups we had ordered in edible chocolate cups! The desserts were so amazing, we only had two small boxes of leftovers for a wedding of 80 people, and even those were snatched up at the farewell brunch.

Good pastry and breakfast and coffee place! They have a wide variety of baked goods and breads and also a day-old discount section.

We chose Rolling Pin to do our wedding cake, and are so pleased with the service! The cake tasting was great and they helped us figure out the best combinations. The cake was delivered on time and decorated beautifully. All of our guests raved about the flavors and we loved it too!

I did not find the bakery appealing to my senses as culinary craftsmanship did not impress. I left without buying anything sadly. This is not a high quality baked goods and desserts including ingredients. Be aware when ordering. Once you are in authentic bakery you don’t need to think twice or taste anything before know this is high quality product. This is just it. Old product, not quality creams instead sugar frosting that you can find in Walmart. Can’t speak for breads but they didn’t seem too fresh either. Hopefully that was a day off when I visited. I’d go to the Batch bakery every time on Willy street. That is phenomenal.

The raspberries filled chocolate cake was a big hit! Beautiful and delicious. A crowd pleaser. Thank you!

I was there to order cup cakes. I got some vanilla and strawberry cup cake without the fillings. Strawberry cupcake was my favorite. Each cup cake was $4, which I thought was slightly expensive. Next time I will order only handful of cupcakes from here. Also I think I should go for the filled cup cakes which are $5. Fresh fruit tart ($7.57) was the favorite item I had here. I also tried almond horn ($3.12) and cronut($10.20). Both where really good and filling. Everything in the display looked beautiful.

Great food , great atmosphere, great to sit and relax with a friend . Never go when in a hurry ,always slow or a person. In front of you buys $80 worth of pastry

We came here on a Wednesday morning, around 10 am, for breakfast. We split the Eggs Benedict and the Pastrami Hash. The Eggs Benedict was nicely balanced with perfectly cooked eggs (runny yolk, cooked whites), some ham, medium thick cut, and a cheddar herb biscuit. We both agreed on it's delicious-ness. The Pastrami Hash was pretty good. Great Pastrami, nice amount of veggies, but would have liked a bit more potatoes. We also got some baked goodies, yet to try them!

Just went here for breakfast. They recently expanded which gave the crew much more space and opened up more dining tables. the food was exceptional! Very warm welcoming feel, great staff, and the baked goods are outstanding. Had the Make My Day breakfast and it was just enough. Will be back, for sure!

Just recently I had two cakes made from the Rolling Pin. The cakes were incredibly delicious, everyone raved over them. I don't usually write reviews, but I was so impressed overall, that I needed to write a review. I took them a picture of the invitation for the party, they said they could re-create a birthday cake that looked similar to the invitation. They said they could do this with buttercream, I was honestly a bit hesitant, but thought whether it turned out or not it would be a conversation piece. To my complete surprise and amazement, not only did they make it look like the invitation, but they far exceeded any expectation I could've had. The other cake was a white cake that they made fancy and I added flowers to it. Both cakes were beautifully done. The sheet cake was red velvet with cherry filling, and the round cake was a lemon cake with lemon filling between two layer and raspberry filling between the other two layers. I would have to say the lemon was my favorite of the two cakes, but both were very good. The lemon/raspberry cake is now my new favorite cake and I believe we will be having this every year on my birthday from here on out. Rolling Pin is definitely worth every penny!! These were definitely my favorite purchased cakes in recent years!

We bought 4 éclairs. They were awful. The pastry cream was clotted and grainy the pastry Doug was tough and flavorless. Really disappointed

The pastries, breads, and sandwiches are sooo goood!! It's easy to become a regular here. It's a great place to spend a cold wintry afternoon.

The new remodel is terrific. The staff has more room to work, and the dining area is spacious and well lit. The whole place feels homey and "put together." The food is tasty as ever. I ordered the quiche lorraine and it was very good. I recommend it, though I wish they offered the option of a side of some kind (I always like a side salad when I have quiche). They now distinguish which bakery items are day old--a complaint I had made in my previous review--which I appreciate. Speaking of their bakery items, they continue to be outstanding. Can't go wrong with the pastries--donuts, croissants, cookies, etc.

Purchased an assortment of donuts/pastries for an event and while not cheap they were gone fast, super yummy and people wanted to know where I bought them. Service was pleasant, friendly, easy and overall will definately return for more sweet treats!

Got the Eastern European Rye and Herb & Cheese Biscuits. The rye is okay. The biscuits....YUM YUM YUM YUM YUUUUUUM. Incredibly delicious. Perfect amounts of herbs and cheese, the smell, the taste, the density; a whole experience.

Rolling Pin Bake Shop has become a fixture in the Fitchburg community. I've been a patron since they first opened, spent many birthdays celebrating with cakes, and see them at local farmer's markets. Their cakes are DELICIOUS (here's looking at you, strawberry shortcake) and they are actually a pretty decent spot for lunch! My husband and I have stopped in a few times to grab a quick bite. I definitely can't leave without a baked good, however, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The owner is a total sweetheart, and very accommodating when it comes to envisioning your perfect cake.

We ordered an 8" white cake, frosted and decorated beautifully. And it was absolutely delicious. The raspberry filling was generous. Much thicker than any other raspberry filled cake I have purchased. The cake was moist and the frosting tasted like a cross between butter cream and whipped cream. I don't think it was, but it was so fluffy and sweet. I'm a definite fan.

waited at bakery case to be serviced/waited on. waited for 5 minutes and no one came to take my order. shop was not that busy & there were plenty of staff around. one big day "day old" cookie was $3.25 Prices are up with new remodel

They closed the door on my face at 3:58. They were suppose to be open till 6pm (stated on Yelp) but the door said 4pm. They saw me, a girl shook her head no at me and shut off the lights. I drove 30 minutes just to try this bakery. Will never try them again what horrible business. I decided to try their cupcakes which were sold at Brennans and was so disappointed. No flavor at all such a waste of time and money. Never ever again!!

I try to support them as much as I can, seeing as how I live just up the road. However, every time I have gotten bakery items or lunch there, I've just been left feeling buyers remorse that I didn't drive further to go somewhere else. They're a bakery, which is suppose to be known for their breads and pastries, but most recently, I got the Challah and it was dry and did not have the typical pillow-soft interior. The taste is suppose to resemble a brioche bread, a bread that is as much a pleasure to look at as it is to eat and simultaneously rich and slightly sweet. This tasted nothing like a true Challah and instead was a dense breaded, dry, loaf of bread. I also got the mixed berry tart, maybe something that was four inches in circumference, and the total was ~$14 before tip. Another time I went, I ordered the Muffuletta and again the bread was just too dense and heavy, it overshadowed the fillings to the point where I couldn't really differentiate the ingredients. All I could taste was bread.

Their peach/raspberry pie is the best pie I have had in a long time. Great sandwiches too.

I love coming here for breakfast and to get some cookies for a friend. The quality of the food and bakery items is excellent! Staff are friendly as well. Highly recommended! Check it out!

We had fantastic breakfast pastries with coffee at the shop and a couple of cookies to go. Everything tasted great. Service was excellent. Ambiance was pleasant.

Wife won't stop asking about more from this place. I couldn't remember where I got something that she loved and she went on a search to find this place again. Will be back

Tried to stop In here since the girl at FedEx next door said they're goodies are excellent! But they had lights on & a locked door & no one answered their phone even though right now YELP says open M-F until 6pm! Sat til 4pm MAKE UP YOUR MIND RPBS!! Are you open or not??!! No extended holiday hours? BOOOOO!!! Oh well ....

Lots of donut and cookie options - both classic and more modern alternatives. The raised donut with vanilla icing was so fresh and tasty. Really cute iced cookies in different shapes - got a chicken for my kid and it was SO fresh and soft. Often these types of cookies are hard so I was so happy. Lots of cakes and other types of desserts. Staff was very friendly. We'll be back in the future to try more and they even have breakfast/lunch options beyond bakery.

Rolling Pin is UNDERRATED! When looking for breakfast in the area, Rolling Pin isn't usually at the top of the list, but their breakfast sandwiches are sooooo good. The sausage, egg, and cheese is my favorite - consistently good every time, delicious and fresh ingredients. And the bread! They give you super thick delicious slices for the sandwiches. My favorite is the rosemary olive oil. I've actually been getting it from the Fitchburg farmer's market for months without knowing it was from here. Now that I know it's from Rolling Pin, they have a new loyal customer for sure!

If you are looking for a nice wedding cake you can go to almost any bakery. If you are looking for 'CAKE!!!!!', then go to Rolling Pin. They sit down with you, ask lots of questions (so you know what you really want), and offer suggestions based on what you describe. Delivery was perfect, the cake was perfect. After the wedding we discovered the "anniversary" cake had not been taken care of correctly and was trashed. I called Rolling Pin to see what could be done, and they said they would make a fresh cake on the first anniversary, for free. The disaster wasn't their fault. We will be back, and many wedding attendees will be first time customers. Thank you!

I have only been here once, so my review is solely based on that. I was at the UPS store, and Rolling Pin Bake Shop is conveniently next door. I have a major sweet tooth, so I rarely turn down baked goods. I walked in and saw an assortment of cupcakes. I mostly walked in because there was a sign for "doughnuts" on the door. I am always down to try new doughnut places in Madison. I used to live in Chicago, so I miss those fancy huge donuts. When I walked in, all I could smell was that overwhelming smell of old fried oil. It is not favorite. I hate when my hair smells like it after I leave a store like that. I was surprised to see beignets. I've never had a beignet, but I hear they're great. The one I had as pretty good. Though, it's kind of hard for me to hate fried dough with sugar on it. For donuts, I got the coconut cream one and a chocolate caramel one. Both tasted great, I'll give them that, but the dough was stale and dry. Granted, I did come around noon, but I feel like I should still be getting a decent donut at that hour. Perhaps I am too picky.

I was a fun of this neighborhood bakery store, however I'm very surprised that their bread is previously frozen. I always thought it's fresh made, straight out of the oven daily.

My fiancé and I are hiring the rolling pin in Fitchburg as the bakery for our wedding cake. Customer service is great to go to the counter and someone is always happy to help you! We tried a champagne cupcake as a sample and the cake was moist and very appetizing. The environment is friendly and splendor. Can't wait to do our cake tasting in May 2023 for our April 2024 wedding!!!

Super cute! The breakfast banh mi was delicious. I would get that again. And, they have lots of options for dessert too.

This place has a lot of potential, but the last three times I've gone here I've been disappointed. The items were a weird dump cake in a to go box (not good AT ALL), an overpriced and not that good chocolate mousse and brownie concoction that came in a plastic cup (meh...bland,boring, dry) and some past their prime sale cupcakes that should have been tossed and not sold at all. So three strikes.....this should not be happening at an upscale bakery. Some quality control is needed here. The items that have been good here include the millionaire's bar (which they never have), frosted brownies, specialty cake slices, lemon bars and FRESH cupcakes, especially the hostess themed one.

I was in the UPS store next door and saw a sign that said "Gourmet Donuts". Dont threaten me with a good time. Unfortunately they were out that day. The young lady working the counter was very friendly and helpful in picking out alternatives to try, The chocolate drizzled peanut butter cookie was a GREAT peanut butter cookie, but I dont know if it was so great as to be better than buying an entire package of similar peanut butter cookies from a grocery store bakery. It was chewy and had great peanut butter flavor. I could have used more chocolate. The raspberry and cheese danish was surprising. I was expecting gooey cheese but the cheese was hard and baked in, the raspberry filling was the gooey part. The flavor combination was good. The iced coffee was good but not exceptional. I am trying to remember now if the total bill was $9 or $13. $9 is more than reasonable for 2 baked items and an iced coffee. $13 is not. I'll probably give them another shot.

This is one of the best bakeries in the Madison area!!! Definitely better quality than many others. Give it a try!

After calling over 22 times and having no one pick up I left a voicemail for a cake to be picked up following week. Not receiving communication back to verify they got my order I called again a couple days later. The lady that picked was short and asked if she could verify my order is on their schedule. After giving my name and waiting for 5 minutes on hold she asked when I placed the order. I stated I left a voicemail and she snotty said they can not access their voicemail. No "I am sorry" or showing any empathy, she just quick talking. After a 30 second awkward silence she said " so do you want to place an order." Why would I want to do business with a company that has no customer service.

Went in for the first time and everything looked good. Got 2 scones and a cinnamon roll. Left and omw home I had a piece of the scone and it was dry and stale. Thought it would just be that one but nope both scones and cinnamon roll were dry and stale. Never coming here again

Great selection of cookies and other pastries. Russian Tea Cakes are soooo delicious! Cookies are decorated for all holidays. They also have food(sandwiches, salads, etc.); I have not tried the food.

My husband ordered cupcakes and a carrot cake for my birthday party from here. It was beyond delicious! The carrot cake was so damn good!!! No words to describe the cupcakes that my friends still rave about! Sea salt caramel and sundae are a few of the flavors we got and YUM!! Order ahead for a party and if you love carrot cake this is the only shop to get it from!!!

We ordered a tiramisu cake from there for a birthday. I went to pick it up and it wasn't ready when I got there so I had to wait for that. The wait wasn't very long, but still. Something should be ready when they say it will be. The cake was beautiful on the outside, but the inside was a different story. It was supposed to be a three layer cake, I think. The bottom two layers were very thin (about 1/2 inch), and the top layer was three times as thick (about 1.5 inch). The top layer was also a weird shape. It was not a full circle cake like one would expect. It was missing a corner all the way around. They used their frosting all around to fill in where the cake was missing. Super weird and almost comical. As for coffee flavor there was next to none. And the cake itself was also very dry. For a $35 cake I definitely got jipped on the cake part. I will not being going back here again.

I've visited the Rolling pin two times. The first time I ordered four desserts for a dinner party. No one at the party was impressed. The second time my boyfriend bought cupcakes for my moms birthday. The cupcakes were stale and very dry. Very disappointed. I was hoping to have a nice local bakery in the Fitchburg area.

Having recently moved to this part of town, I'm looking for new dining/snack options. My wife brought home toffee and four different cookies for us to share recently. Pecan Chocolate Chip Toffee -- 4/5 -- I would get this again, or pick it up as a small gift for friends/family. The texture is very good, and the flavor balances well with plenty of chocolate chips and chopped pecans throughout. S'More Sandwich -- 1/5 -- Very dry, crumbly, and light on flavor. Chocolate gnache top was flavorless, and the marshmallow filling was rubbery. Molasses -- 1/5 -- Ginger flavor was present, but without the punch. The mouthfeel/texture of this cookie was more firm than others, and not quite as dry and crumbly. Mocha Chocolate Chip -- 1/5 -- Faint mocha flavoring in the chocolate gnache, but this was another cookie that seemingly had nothing right in terms of texture or taste. Peanut Butter Kiss -- 1/5 -- Looked like a properly baked PB Kiss Cookie. I spit it out. We didn't finish any of the four cookies, and across the board, each variation lacked sweetness and was dry. Everything *looked* good, and we are always hoping to support local businesses. Service was quick and friendly. By most other accounts, this is a good bakery, so we'll likely go back and try some different things because there are plenty of positive reviews for other items. Will revisit this review at that time.

I requested a birthday cake for my husband two weeks in advance because it was going to be around the holiday season. In addition, I called them twice and visited them once in person to make sure they would be able to make the cake in time. They said they'd be able to make a sculpted cake without a problem, and I could pick it up on the expected date in the morning. On the requested day I went to the bakery in the morning. They looked for the cake for almost ten minutes. The staff started talking to each other and at that point I knew something was up. Finally, they told me the cake was not ready, and my order was almost at the bottom of the list. They didn't even start it yet. The cake was not ready! They tried to compromise by saying they could make the cake in an hour and asked me to come back later in the day. Although dubious that they could actually make the cake in an hour, I had no other option, so I was forced to agree. If they could make it an hour why even bother ordering the cake in advance? They tried to make up for this by giving me two free cinnamon buns that morning. I bought herb cheese biscuits that morning which I had to pay for. Later in the day I came to pick up the cake. When I saw it, I thought it seemed kind've different although I was in a rush and didn't see the details. It cost me $75 and would have cost $80 a whopping $5 discount due to them being late. That night when I looked at the cake more in detail we noticed that it was unevenly sculpted with spatula marks clearly visible. The nose and legs were not made out of cake. The inside was unevenly layered and made of many unevenly spaced chunks of cake and filler. It seemed totally different from their pictures of customized cakes on their website. My husband got pissed after hearing about the price and told me he would have just gone somewhere else. Take a look at the reference pictures and final product. Very disappointed. Never going there again.

Amazing pies! Fruits of the Forest is to die for, and the crust is unbelievable! The breakfast menu has many excellent items including raisin bread French toast, eggs Benedict on their special biscuit, and the Duke of Earl huge sandwich!

I love a good local bakery but this one fell short. We came here Friday late afternoon for a quick treat. My wife and I got cupcakes, a chocolate peanut butter and a chocolate mousse. They were not tasty and didn't taste fresh. I discovered this with mine which was the chocolate mousse, the mousse portion was half frozen so I assumed that these were frozen before they were put out. I couldn't even finish it. I guess I just expected more from a bakery that should make things same day.

This is my favorite bakery in Madison. They not only have cakes, but they also have cookies, pies, fresh baked breads and even a breakfast and lunch menu! The options are good and the portion sizes are decent! They always seem to have new fun cookies every time I go in so it's kinda fun! Plus they have these amazing huge cinnamon rolls on Saturday, my fav is the cream cheese! And they have doughnuts! If you are in Fitchburg, headed to McKee Farms stop by... there is lots of parking!

We were waiting next door at Spectrum when we saw the storefront for Rolling Pin and decided to stop in. You can tell this place is a mom and pop shop, which was quaint and nice. The desserts looked delicious but we were craving lunch so I got a club sandwich and my boyfriend got a quiche. My sandwich was massive and was packed with amazing flavor! I will be back to try the desserts soon!

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL OWNER! At a recent wedding I attended, the owner delivered a cake that was LEFT leaning and unsecure. Upon arrival, I encountered her in a altercation with another vendor over the poor quality of her cake. Actually left the set up, alerting staff that "hope no one bumps this cake, it will fall".... wow. $1,000 for a cake and you leave it ready to fall. I saw her screaming at the other vendor and called her an idiot redneck. ALSO threatened to take the cake away! THEN, also forgot the groom's cake. WOW. All of this 30 minutes before the bride was to walk in the door. HORRIBLE vendor! BEWARE! Have heard great things about her bakery but her WEDDING CAKES are often left leaning, if you read other reviews - and offers NO RESOLUTION to fix it. UNPROFESSIONAL - BEWARE!

Favorite bakery in the area. Cakes are outstanding. I love the strawberry shortcake, but all of them are great. Order ahead of time, but they also always have numerous freshly made cakes in the case. Homemade bread, fresh out of the oven, cookies you can't find anywhere else, and they are great about special orders. We can't find decent challah anywhere in Madison these days, and how can anyone make French Toast without it??? Also amazing for bread pudding. In short, go here.

Even thought this is a bake shop, I am writing about their tasty breakfast. The first time my boyfriend and I came upon this bakery, it was because we saw a rounder gentleman of the law enforcement variety hop out of his squad car and head in its direction. We knew he wasn't going to UPS, right next door, so we decided to follow him. He was a man on a mission (a food mission). We then learned that they had breakfast AND biscuits and gravy (my test food for any breakfast serving establishment). We had already eaten so we planned to go another day. When we did finally get back to the bakery, it was closed (Sunday), but we were committed to try it another day. The following Saturday, we showed up and I was ready for the some biscuits...but alas, they had run out. B&G happens to be one of there most popular dishes. I decided to then try their waffles (everybody loves waffles) and they were delicious and cooked perfectly. Some whipped cream, some strawberries, it made me feel like Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation at JJ's Diner. The bf had the eggs Benedict (the special of the day) and the eggs were placed on one of their herb and cheese biscuits. I tried a bite and now I really I can't wait to try their B&G. I thought the environment was nice, since it had a hometown feel. I will be going again because the B&G are calling my name. And if they are sold out...anything else on the menu will be tasty, too.

Friendly staff and amazing things to eat. Their cakes are tasty as well as all their cookies and other sweet treats. One of my favorite things here is their frozen soups. They are delicious and make for a quick easy dinner after their warmed up. I recently had their chicken noodle which was delicious about perfect since I wasn't feeling the best. Tasted like something my mom would make for me. I also bought a pumpkin curry soup but have yet to try that one.

If you're never in Fitchburg, you would probably never even know this place exists. It's in a strip mall behind the Walgreen's at PD and Fish Hatchery, tucked between a Pizza Hut and the UPS Store. But don't let the odd location fool you. It's definitely worth the drive, even if you have no other reason to venture to that part of town. I met a friend here for lunch when I moved to Madison about 2 years ago, and it's been love ever since. The sandwiches are so fresh, made with bread from their own bakery. The white chicken chili is fantastic. And the baked goods are to die for. Seriously. Angels sing while you're looking at their displays. If we need a cake for a special occasion, this is where we go to get it.

What a gem this place is! I was unaware that this bakery existed until I came here with a friend. I love their mocha chocolate cookies so much! I have been here a few times to pick up random pastries and cookies, so when it came time to get a birthday cake for my mother, I decided to give Rolling Pin a try. I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake cake. It was so delishious as well as pretty with fresh strawberries as garnish and the frosting roses I asked for as decoration. I am excited to try the other yummy sounding flavors they have to offer. :)

I LOVE The Rolling Pin Bake Shop! I used to work near by, so I was frequently stopping in. The lemon bars and key lime bars are amazing! For lunch, a cup of their White Chicken Chili paired with some of the cheese bread they bake was definitely one of my favorites. I've purchased cakes here before as well, a large one and one of their mini cakes. Both were extremely delicious. One of them was a rich German chocolate. It required a glass of milk. The other was a yellow cake layered with a raspberry filling. The raspberry was just slightly tart so the sweetness of the icing really complemented it well. I have no complaints! Love this place!
