Wixey Bakery

It started off like any other Tuesday.
And then… UPS delivered me the most delicious taste of hometown: 2 dozen Pazcki from Wixey Bakery. (insert moans of deliciousness here.)
Ever since I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area over 9 years ago, I have missed these wonderful little Polish pastries that kick off Mardi Gras. I’ve asked so many locals about where to buy Pazcki and heard over and over,“What?!?“
I’ve called around. I’ve Googled. I’ve pined for the pastries.
And this year, my amazing brother changed my Fat Tuesday fate, shipping me two dozen assorted Pazcki. And I received them a week later, bubbled wrapped and shrink wrapped, and packed with shipping peanuts. And they were still delicious.
So, I ask you: Where else can you get donuts that are still scrumptious after a week? That can travel cross country and still elicit «oohs» and «aahs» and proclamations of unconditional love?
No where but Wixey. Sweet, yummy Wixey.

I am a fan but the prices are outrageous. $ 12 for a dozen fried cakes is just stupid.

I ordered a cookie cake for my son’s 4^th Birthday and the lady I spoke with on the phone was very nice and accommodating — I needed it the next day and it was no problem! They frosted the entire cookie and added beautiful frosting balloons with words in colors that I got to choose. So much more personal than picking one up at the grocery store! The frosting was super sweet (which I love — it is frosting after all…) and the cookie was perfectly soft and chocolate-​y. When I went in to pick it up the next day I also bought some chocolate cannoli. They were delicious, but the filling was a little bit on the sweet side and they didn’t seem to have any ricotta in them. Maybe we will try regular cannoli next time.
Overall, I will definitely go back and would recommend highly!

I love Wixeys! Family owned and operated… The best sweets in town :)
My niece and I always hit up wickeys before we head to the zoo!

Ordered some cupcakes for my boss’s bday:) they were ready on time and super cute! Cant wait to taste them. Im sure they are going to be amazing!

Wixey’s donuts are out of this world. Its a great place to pick up treats on weekend mornings, and they are open until 6, giving us time to pick up evening snacks if we need something sweet after a long day of work.

We live out of town and were looking for a bakery to make our wedding cakes for our Toledo wedding. After a disappointing visit at another popular Toledo bakery, we went to Wixey Bakery – it was a completely different experience! We were treated very well, the customer service was fantastic. The baker and staff went out of their way to work with us to design a wedding and groom’s cake that were picture perfect. The groom’s cake was a fantastic replica of a Titleist golf ball and the wedding cake was elegant and lovely. The cakes were delivered timely and in perfect condition to our venue. We received rave reviews from our guests about the taste of the cakes. In addition to the service and the quality of the cakes, the price was right.
If you are looking for a bakery for your wedding, or any occasion – do yourself a favor and get to Wixey!

It’s a staple for Toledo! Great treats and bread… If you like dough nuts… This is the place.

One of Toledo’s last great bakeries. Wixey’s has been operating since 1930.
For fresh bread, doughnuts, or cookies you’ll be hard pressed to find better in the area. Old-​fashioned in the best way. The only way I imagine you could possibly disappointed is if you are looking for slick over decorated cakes and cookies. Their are no gimmicks here just great ingredients made with care. Their simple non-​fussy treats are downright delicious.
Be sure to check out their decorated holiday cakes and cupcakes. They will become a family tradition.
For the best birthday cake ever order the chocolate cake with chocolate Grenache frosting filled with a layer of vanilla buttercream. Heaven!
One of Toledo’s best!

The baked goods are delicious, but I am giving them five stars for their customer service! The wedding cake they baked for my husband and I was beautiful and delicious. We also love their baked goods.

A real taste of Old-​Time Traditional Toledo from
the MOMENT you walk in. I LOVED it! Try the Sticky Pecan Buns or the enormous Éclair’s! The sweet staff will help you! Also, their Chocolate-​covered Pretzels make a GREAT gift! They are a salty-​sweet culinary treat and one of many reasons you should visit this special spot in Toledo, Ohio. Holla to the sistah holdin’ it down today (8÷22÷2012)!!!

I am baffled how anyone can give this place above 2 stars. Maybe the customer service is great, which makes up for the AWFUL baked goods. I take that back, the birthday cake was OK — nothing great — Costco makes a way better cake actually. I’ll admit, the icing was REALLY good on that birthday cake, though. :)
What I was most disappointed in was the cookies! They are awful and dry! Each one (and I tried 6 different kinds)! I call myself the cookie connoisseur aka the cookie monster and let me tell you, the real cookie monster would probably spit these cookies out over the trash can, just like me. Not worth the trip. Try homemade, they’ll taste better and won’t taste like the hardtack (sp?) that the pioneers used to eat.

My favorite bakery ever! I live in CA and come here whenever I visit family. Their eclaires are the best I’ve ever had and I’m not a huge donut fan, but their donuts are really yummy too. I’m jealous of you Ohioans, they don’t have any bakeries this good in California.

Got a wedding cake and 3 birthday cakes from Wixeys.
Therefore, you might assume I am a fan of their cakes.
That assumption would be correct!
Five stars.
I am not however a fan of their other baked goods.
Minus 1 star.
=
Four (4) star rating!
p. s. They use buttercream icing. The ONLY good icing…

Reall, Wixey Bakery is ok, a 3 star rating but I didn’t like the service and the prices are outrageous!
It is your usual bakery, yes they have a great selection of cakes, cookies, donuts, muffins, pies, but everything that looked good was about $ 5, I did splurge and get a $ 5 eclaire but didn’t even like it.
Dry and bland, only thing going for it was it was huge but what good does that do if its not good?
I got cupcakes and cookies, they were pretty good, the cookies above average and the cupcakes very fresh but plain.
The sticky and pecan buns kind of old and dry, nothing special.
The girls working were so not into it, not helpful, that mixed with the prices, I wouldn’t go back to Wixey’s.

can’t figure out where all those 5 star reviews came from. Wixey is sub par common. I had great hopes with all those stars — and what a disappointment.
I tried mixed donuts — jelly, yeast/​raised, sweet rolls, danish, maple iced. the danish were the worst-don’t even go there. Sweet rolls seem to be made of common bread dough, not a sweet roll dough; making them tough not tender and it didn’t help that they were well over baked; cinnamon filling sparse and the icing tasting chemical-​y. Yeast/​raised ok but without the crispy crust and under-​sweet for me. The best of the donuts was the cinnamon swirled maple iced one with the crunchies on top — flavor and softness were all there.
The best cookie was the oatmeal raisin. They called it gourmet but it was nice and homestyle filled with raisins. Filled cookies were just ok and reminded me of Archway fruit filled cookies.
No cupcakes to buy and would really like to have had a chocolate donut or cake ones. totally disappointing.
There were a few loaves of bread on the shelf but just common white nothing whole grain, flavored gourmet, round, etc.
Really, there are better bakeries in the Toledo area, seek them out. I would guess friends and family gave those great reviews.

I LOVE Wixey. Its my local bakery and I couldn’t do any better. The donuts are awesome. They have elephant ears which I’m a big fan of too. They’ve got really good loaves of bread and rolls as well. Really can’t miss when you go in there. The staff is always really friendly even though it can be pretty busy in the mornings, they keep things moving quickly.

I’m not from Ohio myself, but my dad is a Toledo-​an, born and bred. My grandparents still live in the great city of Toledo, and growing up, we would spend one week of our summer visiting our family. There would always be one special day each trip, where my siblings and I would wake up early with my dad to pick up doughnuts at Wixey’s. This was my favorite part of vacation.
We would rise early, pile into the car, and drive around my dad’s childhood neighborhood. As the car rolled slowly through the streets, he would point out the houses of his friends, his grandparents, and his own. Then, the car would turn toward Glendale Ave, towards Wixey’s.
I love my dad’s story of how he asked his bus driver to pick him up at Wixey’s rather than outside his house. He would wake extra early, walk to Wixey’s, order a couple jelly rolls and stuff them in his mouth while he stood in the doorway waiting for the bus. According to my dad, there were more fields and less concrete when he was a boy, but I’m glad one thing has not changed. I’m glad Wixey’s is still there.
As a kid I loved taking that first step into the bakery, the smell of freshly baked dough and sugary toppings curling into my nostrils. I would press my face to the glass, peer down at the doughnuts, and wait eagerly while dad placed our order.
We’d bring them back to grandma and grandpa’s, a dozen jelly rolls and a half a dozen cinnamon rolls that would never live to see the sunrise. My sisters and I would pack back jelly rolls until the sweet jelly fillings made us sick. We’d be chastised by our parents, and would barely move the rest of the morning, but if we could do it all again we would.
Half of me wishes I lived in Toledo, but the other half of me is glad: if I lived anywhere in a 30 mile radius of this establishment, jelly would run through my veins.
If you think you’ve had the best jelly roll around, but haven’t been to Wixey’s, put everything down and head straight to 2017 Glendale Ave. It’s quite possible these doughnuts are Heaven-​sent.

A Toledo charm, and quite the historical little piece of the Southside.
A family run and operated business, Wixey has been a welcoming presence on Glendale for decades. Their honest and fair prices, matched with their authenticity and home-​grown charm stands them apart from chain bakeries (you know the kind I am talking about — do you really want to buy your pastries from a place that also sells laundry detergent and diapers?).
Parking is easy to find on a side street or in front of the bakery. Located right off the Trail on Glendale, there is no excuse for anyone passing by to not stop and taste a part of Toledo history.
Thank you, Wixey’s, for being a part of my childhood and fond memories of growing up down the street from your sweet smell!

Peanut butter tortes to my right. Pastries and cookies directly in front of me. Cakes and rolls to my left. Be still my heart!
It’s not hard finding Wixey Bakery, because the sweet smell emanating from the bakery will lead you right to its front doors. With the countless options of sweets and goodies, it’s difficult to pick out what exactly it is that you want. I personally was torn between the tortes, the pumpkin rolls, the turnovers, the cannolis, the brownies, the cookies, and pretty much everything WB had to offer really.
Somehow I managed to come home with only a chocolate cannoli and a chocolate cupcake. (That doesn’t mean I won’t be back, however, because I will — but only when I have company so I don’t eat an entire box of sweets on my own :)) While the chocolate cupcake wasn’t as moist as I wanted it to be, I had to remind myself that this was not a cupcakery so, by bakery standards, it was still pretty good. The cannoli, on the other hand, was absolutely divine. With the right blend of crispiness and creaminess, they alone warrant a second trip back.
One of my friends tells me that WB has been around since who knows how long. Apparently most Toledoans also order their wedding cakes here so this bakery must be doing something right (aside from the pastries, that is!)
