Milwaukee's Artisan Bakery · Est. 1995

Good morning,
Milwaukee.
Something wonderful
is rising.

At Acme Plus Bakery Shop, every loaf is hand-shaped, every pastry is folded with intention, and every visit feels like coming home. We've been baking for you on W State St since 1995.

Our Story

We don't just bake bread.
We keep a tradition alive.

Acme Plus Bakery Shop opened its doors in 1995 on West State Street, and something about the smell of fresh bread pulling people in has never changed. What started as a small dream has become a Milwaukee staple — the kind of place where regulars know your name and your usual order before you do.

We still mix our dough by hand. We still let our sourdough ferment the long way. We still believe that good food can't be rushed, and that the best ingredients deserve the simplest treatment. That's not nostalgia — that's just how we do things.
