The Bakery Unlimited

The Bakery Unlimited Award-winning bakery. At The Bakery Unlimited, we believe that true flavor takes time, dedication, and honest ingredients. Breads are made without preservatives.

That’s why our signature selection of old-fashioned donuts and other baked items are made completely from scratch every morning. Marcia started this bakery in 1984 after having a passion to produce quality baked and sweet-good products with her training in food chemistry research degree from Iowa State University. She makes almost all of her products from scratch with her own recipes. Thus she can make most products any size, shape or flavor that people may want. Products are made daily and special orders are encouraged. Hot and cold beverages are for sale for eating in the seating area. Families are always welcome here.

If you haven’t checked out this year’s Fall window display yet, you won’t want to miss it! 🍂✨
The theme for this year’s Covered Bridge Festival was “Bridging Generations,” and I wanted to bring that concept straight into our window. We tied the theme together by honoring generational bakers and highlighting the different aprons our ancestors wore throughout the decades.
On display, you’ll see everything from a bib cross-back and a humble flour sack apron to fun retro styles and the classic server waist apron!
I’m so excited to share these pieces alongside ancestral photos of my great-grandparents, my mother, and other beloved family members. The window is truly filled with memories of sharing the kitchen with joy, love, and tradition.
They say the kitchen is the heart of the home—and for us, baking is how we pass that heart down from generation to generation. ❤️
Stop by the square, take a look, and don’t forget to grab a donut before you leave! We will have our apple crisp donuts and maple bacon longjohns this Friday. 🍩😋

We had our annual Bakery Bonfire last weekend, and my heart (and stomach) is still full! 🔥

Our amazing team works tirelessly behind the scenes to bring you fresh treats and great service everyday, so they more than deserved a little R&R outside the bakery. What better way to unwind than gathering around a warm October fire, eating incredible food, and laughing over games together?

One evening is truly never enough with this crew, but thankfully we get to see each other’s smiling faces back at the bakery bright and early.

Wake up and smell the fresh-baked goodness! Tomorrow is Bagel Wednesday, and we’ve got an incredible lineup waiting for ...
