Reviews of Cranky Al's
Nicholas Hoppenrath
This is such a great place to get some interesting donuts. The variety is quite fantastic with an array of toppings and fillings that will give you plenty to try over time. I will also say that these donuts are quite huge vs. your normal trip to dunkin or the like. I had ordered three dozen for a 6am pickup and I walked in and walked out with a wonderful supply of soft and fluffy pastry rings. Coffee is great as is the other snacks and treats. The place is pretty much exclusively cared for by high school/collage age kids that are pretty awesome workers that are quite professional while taking care of customers. I have been going here for years and that won't change anytime soon!

Cranky Al's is a family favorite and we have overall enjoyed their donuts. Favorites are the Reese's and the maple bacon. Their online ordering system is easy to use and convenient, and their staff has always been friendly. We especially enjoy the yeasted donuts - they can be so light and fluffy! Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because we have been disappointed with the taste / amount of the fillings, including both cream and fruit filled, and some donuts have been smaller than expected. We ordered a raspberry filled donut and there was hardly any filling, and the cream filling was not fluffy and sweet as expected. For the price point, we expected more.
Conversations With Francois
Great Service. Great Donuts.
They were out of glazed raised by time I got there at 10am. I got a breakfast bowl. Egg, onion, jalapeño, cheddar and hash brown. They throw in some salsa and sour cream. It was decent. Not something id go back for
I will go back for donuts though!!! 😁
Mary Blomfeldt
Friendly staff and fresh, delicious food! I went in for donuts and left with donuts and the breakfast veggie pizza. The vegan donuts are such an awesome offering for those like my daughter with milk allergies or preference for vegan lifestyles. Everything was great!
Their posted hours:
Tues-Fri 6am-1pm
Sat & Sun 6am-2pm

Tosa donuts. We had the eggnog crueller (less cinnamon and nutmeg and more coconut imo), the pistachio cake (so good and not overly sweet), the hoity toity (meh. Its a chocolate iced and filled donut with sprinkles), and the Samoa (which was also so good. The crunch on the top was perfect!)
Ultimately a nice place with solidly good donuts. Ultimately I'm missing that donut frying smell and the crispy bits you get on some really fresh fried donuts. We got there at 10.30 on a Sunday, so I don't know if we were late or if their production schedule is way early or what, but I'd still go back.
Heather Deutsch
Best doughnuts around, travelled over a half hour to get them. Always fresh and a great variety. Get there early, was there 5 minutes after it opened at 6am and there was a line and things were flying off the shelf!
Erika Comdohr
These donuts are SO good. There are so many different kinds to choose from. You can also order ahead online as the line is usually always long, but worth it! Tried the Samoa and blueberry lemon donuts which were both delicious and so fresh!
Dave Zeroth
We did donuts for our wedding from Cranky Al’s and it was LEGIT! Joey was easy to communicate with during the process and fun to talk with when deciding our options. His setup, including the donut wall, was a big hit on our big day. Thanks for a special day!
Jennifer Zeman
We LOVE Cranky Al's and get their donuts maybe too much :) We love them so much that we had them cater our wedding dessert! Joey was so easy to work with! We got a big donut "cake" to cut that was super cute and DELICIOUS, and then got mini donuts for everyone else to have for dessert. Would highly recommend for a unique dessert opportunity!
Mikaely Schmitz
the donuts are delicious, the coffee is wonderful, and the staff is oh so kind- we are very happy that at least as of this writing in Aug 2022 they are open for in person visits and selections.
-gluten free options are very decent, though not the most amazing of all baked goods I have ever consumed- HOWEVER it is so cool to be able to go to one place and snag donuts for the whole family- there are most often tree nut free/ safe options, gluten friendly options, and the classic gluten full delicacies. Our family is always amazed and appreciative of the patience of the front staff as we waffle and decide and the kids change their minds three times before we walk out the door with our purchase
Elise Bolt
You can't really complain about a donut shop around the corner from your house, but this truly is a friendly, quick and delicious establishment. They have gluten friendly donuts along with customizable donuts if you order online which is so fun!
mitchell m
The ownership and their team have been fantastic. We have been going for the past 3 years and never had any negative experiences. Two things to note -
their donuts are popular for a reason and will sell out most popular items early. Either have a contingency plan or order online
Also, if you have a dog. Don’t expect it to be allowed entry.
Tom Pence
This place is great. They were the star of the show at donut fest in Milwaukee and their donuts were just as good in store.
If you do plan on visiting, either show up early or order online at least a day in advance. We elected to order online and we got to skip the massive line to pick up our order.
Gary Obernberger
Staff is as great as the donuts. Maple bacon might be our favorite but they are all delicious. I definitely recommend either ordering the day before and picking them up or getting there might early too avoid the lines.
Sooya xyooj
Love coming here for lunch. The customer service is great as well. They're super friendly and helpful.
Kiley Bastian Johns
Gluten free donuts are delicious (wish they’d throw in a fun flavor every once in a while but won’t complain too much).
We’ve also had some hot breakfast items (breakfast bowl, burrito) that were larger than expected and very good.
Andrew Donohoo
READ THIS…. After more than I can count visits spanning multiple millenniums being on a diet one Friday morning, I thought I’ll try the cinnamon roll… IT WAS AMAZING!!! The inside perfectly flakey with crispness on the edges. The frosting, perhaps cream cheese based, has just a kiss of sweetness, marvelous with its slightly gooey texture. It is 4 minutes of pure Heaven can be yours
Bernard
Been coming here every day this week because the donuts are so delicious. And the staff are really great too. I’d like to commend all the front of house staff for being so friendly and welcoming, which I know is rare for this industry especially these days.
Ron Quimby
Cranky Al's is the best place for morning coffee and donuts. Always friendly staff. Their pastry is always cooked correctly and never scrimped on size. They have a small seating area, but most business is carry out.
Esmundo “Above Average Guy” Sanchez
We've been coming to Cranky's for 5 years just for donuts. We live an hour away, and today we branched out and could not have been more delighted. We have the meat lovers breakfast pizza and the waffle battered chicken with syrup. Both were phenomenal. I highly recommend trying their different breakfast options. Don't worry we still got donuts too.
Nicole
OMG! I’ve always loved the bakery where I grew up and I’ve tried SEVERAL bakeries that sell donuts in big cities. San Francisco, San Diego, Newport Beach and New York City. I’ve never found a bakery that comes close to meeting my expectations of an amazing donuts until Cranky Al’s. RUN, don’t walk! They sell out quickly!!!
Ben Holter
Always good donuts, coffee, breakfast Sammies and people. Sometimes a line, but worth it. If you like spice, the 3 cheese breakfast bagel is amazing!
L A
Wonderful! Friendly service. Can't go wrong with anything you pick, but get there early for best selection. My elderly Mom, who lives nearby at Lutheran Home, is a cruller fanatic and she says there's are the best!🌞 …
Khaled sa'id
The best donuts in Milwaukee. I only eat donuts once a month. So, when I moved to Milwaukee I decided to find a donut shop where I continue my thingy. However, I tried a lot of shop, like really a lot. And the most were “MEH.” Until I tried Cranky Al’s. It is another world!
Andrew C
Their breakfast burrito is the best in the city! Those things are mammoths and ridiculously good. It’s a weekly purchase for me. Please bring back that cantina salsa. The tomato paste salsa is 👎. …
Stephanie Binns
First time at Cranky Al's was a nice experience. Customer service was great and the breakfast bowl I ordered was delicious. My family loves their donuts.
kae Thompson
I had the egg bowl with potatoes and extra cheese. This was so good I promise you you can't go wrong. The service was also great I rate this place 6 out of 10 because I don't eat pork and they only have pork meat there.
Ivan Sarabia
Tosa donut spot. Was quite busy on Saturday morning, letting you know they have great donuts. Prices are pretty typical, some breakfast options were a bit too pricey for me. The cruller is their best seller and it is really good. Also like the apple fritter.
Amanda Rohde
Cranky Al's made our donuts for our wedding! Rather than going with a traditional and boring cake, we decided to go with donuts and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Our guests LOVED the donuts and the variety that we had! The donuts were so beautiful and tasty and we had many to spare by the end of the night (not to mention cheaper than we would've gotten for a boring old cake)! We worked with Joey for our wedding and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you so much, Joey and Cranky Al's!
Linda Szocik
Love the gluten-free donuts. Best i have had. Actually tastes good. Not like sandpaper.
Christina
Donuts have a nice crisp outter shell but on the inside they are warm and moist. They are packed with awesome flavors and the variety is great. We've had chocolate cake donut, peanut cake donut, and kit Kat donut..all super delicious! We also had some of their breakfast food which was good, but the donuts are definitely the show stoppers!! Chicken and waffle bites are super tasty too, I highly recommend. Plus our donuts were all a dollar a piece!
Pretty Monster
This is the MF SPOT !! YALL!! donuts mf fresh and SOFT!! MELTS N A B**** MOUTH!! bagels , pizza, and freaking burritos made with love!! They can have all these coins.. Go check em out if u haven't REAL S***!! 🖤🖤 …
Jay Alan Ungart
Great doughnuts. Fantastic pizza at 6am.
I wanted to maintain a 5, the apple fritter was amazing. But for some reason it took over 20 minutes to get my sandwich. That doesn't include line time.
This is a casual place. That wait time after ordering is ridiculous.
25 minutes now. If I hadn't paid I'd walk out.
Got the Sandwich. Maybe it was the wait but it seems unimpressive.
Fritter, not pictured, was delicious.
They forgot my bacon, which I wanted on the sandwich. Just got it on the side.
Kevin Lo
Good people here running this business. Ate breakfast here and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I had chorizo tacos. Would have liked to try the breakfast pizza but one can only eat so much.
Large selection of donuts but I only ate one. Again one can only eat so much. ;)
Lemon donut was delicious!
There is a self serve water station and they sell some crafty donut themed merchandise as well.
Savannah Rasmussen
Delicious donuts, coffee, and bagel sammies, but the burritos were dry and tasted like they were served with canned Tostino’s salsa.
Mike
Good quality donuts and coffee options. No indoor seating other than the 8 inch windowsill ( not a true seat). I understand the waffle bites are amazing(Waffle batter chicken bites with maple syrup).
Savannah Salm
Their donuts do not disappoint! I especially love the old fashioned and cake ones. The breakfast sandwiches here are also pretty good.
If you are picking up breakfast on the weekend, then I recommend ordering ahead. They can get pretty busy.
C. Ernest
Great donuts! While they seemed to be out of a lot of choices (sign of a good place imo) I loved the simplicity of the cake donut! Yummy, buttery, golden brown goodness! What a great place for a quick bite and some good coffee!
Patrick
One of the best local donut places. Very friendly - can get busy but never too long of a wait. Their breakfast food is also good.
Travis AKA Doughboy Food Reviews
Peanut Butter Buttercream: Cranky Al's is a coffee/doughnut/pizza shop (trifecta of yumminess), located in East Tosa (Wauwatosa for you non locals). This is my third doughnut review from their shop and today I have their Peanut Butter Buttercream Doughnut (PBBD). Its appearance is a bit deceptive as the exterior looks like it is simply a sprinkled yeast/raised doughnut. Adorning the top of the doughnut is a sweet vanilla icing that has an ample amount of yellow and black sprinkles. Taking a big bite from the doughnut reveals that the interior is packed with a delectable sugary peanut butter buttercream filling. I want to emphasize that it is not actual peanut butter, but buttercream (not a complaint). Since the filling is not actual peanut butter it is much sweeter and lighter in texture. A cool glass of milk compliments this doughnut perfectly. This was a superb dessert; I think Cranky Al's is now my go to Doughnut shop even if it is a bit of a journey from my home. I still have one more doughnut from my initial batch to review, but the PBBD is Doughboy approved! Doughboy_Food_Reviews
My favorites/five star doughnuts from Cranky Al's:
1. Cinnamon Roll
2.Nutella
3. Peanut Butter Buttercream
4. S'more
5. Hoytie Toytie
ryan burwell
If you live in Tosa and haven't been here you need to make it happen. My kids love the donuts and I love how excited they get. Good coffee and egg sandwiches, as well. Can get busy on weekends, so plan to wait a few minutes in line.
Lynnette Johnson
Great customer service, fresh food, delicious coffee. Amazing lemon filled donuts and glazed😊😝. And clean family fun spot. Or just looking for something good to eat.fyi you will keep going!!!! …
Leah O
The best donut place. This isn't the weird corporate donuts that seem to be the only option. These are wonderful delights that are absolutely terrible for you. Small business done so right.
Daniel Thompson
The donuts are absolutely perfect and are hands down thee best in MKE Co but, what really shook me up was the their breakfast burrito. AMAZING 👏 …
Patrick O'Dea
Save all the donuts for me, please don't go serious I want all the donuts. Also they catered special groom and bride donuts for my wedding and A+. But serious it's famous around here for a reason.
Ballard Huey
Taste: 5/5. My hometown is where Krispy Kreme was founded and is headquartered, so I care about good donuts. Regardless of whether you’re eating one of their classic or specialty donuts, you’re definitely going to have a tasty experience.
Service: 5/5. The staff were young, friendly, and accommodating. The guy who took my order had no problem answering questions about their menu.
Vibe: 5/5. Eclectic, family-owned donut shops hold a special place in my heart. It was super busy when I was there, but it just felt good to know everyone there was enjoying the same food.
Cost: 4/5. Like I said, I’m a Krispy Kreme man. The donuts are definitely worth it, but I wish they could be worth it AND a little less expensive.
You know it’s a good business when it’s fun to spend money there, and this is definitely true for Grouchy Al’s.
Kayla Hernandez
I used to live over here and this was my first time back since moving. I have a few favorite menu items -- this one's the tomato 3 cheese bagel sandwich. It has a firey ghost pepper cheese (among other cheeses), and it is not for the weak!!! Staff is always friendly and quick. I've never known this place pre-COVID but I can't wait to safely be able to sit here and enjoy my breakfast. Also, another great breakfast choice is the chorizo burrito. It's MASSIVE and goey and everything that a burrito should be!!! I love Cranky Al's!!
Melissa
Delicious and Creative Dognuts! M n Ms, Skittles, Maple with BACON Sprinkles and many more! Ready for something new and sweet, here it is. I have not been in the store and have not tried menu items, people at work bring these in and they are yummy. I will be making the trip for the whole cranky experience.
Colleen O'Malley-Campbell
Such great quality of donuts and staff! Joey and his gang have gone above and beyond to keep us safe and still get our favorite comfort food during the pandemic. Love their quarantine donut package and all their goodies!
DarthActual
Amazing Donuts, fresh every time...if you are hungry the breakfast pizza is on point! they also offer tacos for breakfast.
Joseph Jones
We love Cranky Al's! We even drive all the way from Grafton to get them from time to time. We had an issue last time where we paid for 6 donuts but when we got to the car we noticed only 5 in the box. We were hesitant to go back, but we did and one of the owners helped us out and got us our 6th donut. We really appreciate the awesome staff and I would recommend everyone to try their donuts!
JJ
Best donuts around! Fluffy and decently sized!
Samara Borch
They were quick for helping guests but never felt rushed. The food is good the coffee is kinda mid. Have been back many times always a good expierence.
Eric Huemmer
Staff here are incredibly friendly, the donuts are solid with a variety of options (I couldn’t help dive in before taking the pic), good sit-down foods and there’s always hot coffee. Definitely worth checking out!
Selena Kowalkowski
I love the donuts. First time that I tried them. Definitely going back again.
Sherise Ferguson
That my first time and Best donuts is Champion….. Delicious donuts and Neat inside place….. Next time I trying order breakfast… my husband love maple bacon donut (Crazy)….. good smelling foods n coffees… Enjoy!
Krystal Fannin
Everyone who works here is SO nice. Dominic taught my Mom how to fold a doughnut box because she said “I’ve always wanted to know how to do that” and he entertained her. Good people and food!
Mary N
They provided donuts and a donut wall for our wedding and it was spectacular!!! Everyone had multiple donuts and we had none left over they were so good! Joey is great to work with and made the wedding desserts so much fun :)
David Rose
Donuts are amazing! Staff are friendly and helpful. Very popular, so it's a good idea to order early. I give a top recommendation to this Tosa favorite. I celebrated 50 trips around the sun recently, bought a donut for each year, and brought them in to work. I opened the box a few minutes after 8AM, and they were all gone by 8:50. Also just tried a breakfast burrito -- delicious!
Derek Steinmetz
Best doughnut shop in town. Amazing crullers. But the real sleeper on the menu are their breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. I could eat them every day. Plus, Joey is awesome.
Casey McKenna
Donuts are delicious. A good hint of yeast, airy, huge, and deliciously creative. Big fan! Line went quick and cashiers wrte kind and patient with my 3 kiddos!
Valerie Shurley
We're from Texas where yeast donuts are everywhere. These are a very close second! So happy to have found this place 😁 …
Clifton Thomas
The staff was great!! The breakfast pizza was delicious!! And the doughnuts were tasty 🤤 I wish I would have tried a different coffee drink though. 🤷🏾♂️ Maybe next time. Oh, almost forgot, the meat lovers burrito was tasty as well 🙌🏾 …
Paul Tolar
Amazing donuts. Meet breakfast pizza was tasty.
Joe K
Best donuts in the city, and it ain't close. Who-bes?
Chris Shook
Friendly service, unfortunately I missed the gluten friendly donuts by several hours. I will try again!
TataIlija
Good Coffee, great donuts, wonderful family owned business which started the East Tosa Revival.
Jenelle Smith
Read about this place in a foodie article and really wanted to try it. Unfortunately, they were sold out by 10am on a Saturday.
Zach Wambold
Some of the best donuts in the city, great pizza too
Nathan Kieso
Best donuts in Milwaukee and perhaps… the WORLD!
KB Bjerk
Awesome assortment of craft donuts, including delicious gluten free and vegan options!
Alexandra s
Love Cranky Al's! A great treat, love carry out or eating there. A huge fan of the bfast burrito as well as the donuts. The monthly flavors are always tasty and fun to try!
Jennifer Wenzel
Amazing donuts I visit every month when I am working in milwaukee! Also very friendly and professional staff. I was particularly impressed this time because I went on a Saturday and the way they handle social distancing is extremely professional. They kept everyone in a good mood as we waited for our deliciousness! Even the cake donuts are outstanding and I'm not usually a cake donut fan!
Zackary Dennis
Tasty breakfast spot featuring amazing doughnuts, burritos, bowls, and breakfast pizzas! Super tasty
Donald Perry
This place is popular, its got the trendy "I'm a smaller independent shindig restaurant on North Ave" Tosa feel for sure. I came in on a Friday morning. Note, you may not dine in, and with no booths or tables, the place feels kinda like a garage with the punk band crowd of all ages- and not all punk. The donuts seem to be the thing here. The wait for my order was bearable. I had the breakfast tacos. Good.
Rebecca Vaclav
Love the veggie pizza. Unfortunately, they got my order wrong on my most recent order but it gave me the opportunity to try the meat pizza which is also good, but I prefer the veggie pizza. The owner went above and beyond to make things right and I updated my 4 star rating to a 5. The donut portion of the order was correct and delicious as always. We prefer the buttercream filled options but it is one of the few local places that offers the sugar donut, my mother-in-law's favorite. They also have gluten free if you need that option. Take advantage of ordering early online and curbside pickup...it really helps when you have to cart around an infant.
Jason Mattison
Went over for a quick breakfast. Had the breakfast pizza which was pretty good. Loved the donuts. The staff was very friendly and made it a memorable experience. Will be back to try other breakfast items.
Kevin F
I'll give the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure the donuts are amazing based on the reviews but I wouldn't know as all the donuts were sold out by the time I got there, which was around 10:30am. Maybe that's common and now I know better for next time. Just a thought, if your open till 11:30am, maybe try to have enough donuts until then, otherwise, what's the point?
Kelsey Hock
Seriously the best donuts I've ever had. We moved away and still come back for these and their breakfast any chance we get. Breakfast bagel sandwiches are delicious, bagels are great quality and have an awesome crunch. Breakfast wraps are huge and very tasty. Very interested to try more items from their newer/larger menu. Come try them!
Brigit Wilson
Needed some Personalized Donuts to Celebrate my 1 year Anniversary of being in Business! They turned out FANTASTIC!!! Could not have been happier!!!

We ordered a giant buttercream filled donut for our son as a surprise for his 8th grade graduation. I would highly recommend it! Looked awesome and tasted great! Thank You!
Huge fans of Cranky Al's! We started going here after my hubby read an article from Alton Brown, he recommended going here for the best crullers hes had. So we tried it out and Alton is right, and bonus, the other donuts are awesome too! We have yet to find something we didn't like.
They offer other foods, including pizza in the afternoons but we have yet to try anything other than the donuts.. some day!
For Mother's Day my son and hubby took me and got their "MOM" donuts, they were great. We have had 1 issue in the past where items were missing and they quickly fixed the issue, clean store, awesome service and awesome food. Seriously check them out, and go early, they get busy fast!
Raven Lindsey
My husband and I were looking for donuts to add to our dessert bar for our wedding reception, and Cranky Al’s did not disappoint! Joey was great at working with us to determine what flavors our guests would love most, and he was spot on with how many donuts to order. When it comes to their service, I couldn’t have asked for better! When the donuts were picked up that morning, they were accidentally dropped and needed to all be re-made. Joey made sure they were all re-made and delivered BEFORE I even got there (I had no idea there was even an issue). We had SO many compliments about how delicious the donuts were and they were a BIG hit! If you are considering using Cranky Al’s for your wedding donuts, definitely choose them! They’re the best of the best!
E W
Best donuts in Wisconsin? I haven't tried every donut shop in the state but they'd have my vote. Staff is always friendly. Donuts are always delicious. All the food options are actually. Plus they've started offering GF and vegan options. Now more people can enjoy their donuts. Good on them.
Linda Simmons
Omg. Today was the very 1st time my family has eaten here. So amazing we'll definitely be back
Ryan Petrie
#1 Donuts for sure! The variety, the quality, the price, the staff and the rest of the menu is the best in the area. Highly recommend coming early or ordering ahead because it's very busy and limited after 9 AM. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.
Elizabeth Sievert
Wedding review: We worked directly with the owner, Joey! We met with him a couple months before the wedding and he was super nice to work with! He explained everything and gave prices up front! It was also nice that during coivd and the unpredictable times he did not require any deposits and no payments until day of just in case we were unable to have the wedding. Which we appreciated since so many places require non refundable deposits. Day of Joey came and set everything up! He also came the next morning to take down and clean up! The donut wall looked great! We had multiple different large donuts, mini donuts and then a donut cake for my husband and I. Everyone LOVED them and kept asking about them. We are now going to go get donuts from Cranky Al’s every anniversary :)
Nikki Clapper
Cranky Al's is certainly not cranky! I made a mistake with my order ahead order, mind you it was absolutely 100% my mistake. The staff were absolutely wonderful, and helped me remedy the situation with no added charge. I felt silly with what I did, but after leaving the store with my doughnut treats a week early I definitely did not feel as if it put a damper on my day. Thank you so much for your kindness. I very much appreciate you and cannot wait to return for more!
Jace Birschbach
Donuts are always great and they have a good variety. Hot breakfast foods (breakfast bagels, burritos, pizza) are all really, really good.
Alyssa Revm
Great donuts. Waffle bites didn’t really have a waffle flavor or texture in batter - just tasted like any other chicken nuggets. Veggie burrito and bagel sandwich were good. Place is super busy though and it took them 40+ min to make my food... they said that the kitchen was backed up but plenty of people who ordered food after me got theirs before me.
Sean True
I've been to Cranky's a few times now, and have been happy with the experience every time, the staff is always helpful, and while I've only had donuts in my few times here, they have been excellent every time, and I do have every intention to visit Cranky's again in the future to try some of their other menu items.
Eric Pederson
We had thier Breakfast Pizza. It was very good. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. In indoor seating has cafe style chairs and tables.
Michelle Heltemes
We did not want to do a typical wedding cake and instead we went with donuts and churros for our wedding and everyone loved them! We decided to go with the mini donuts so that people can sample more than 1 and when we met with Joey the first time, he told us we could really go with any flavor we wanted, even if it wasn’t on the menu. Since we both love Twix, we went with a Twix donut as our specialty one and it was delicious!! Joey is very quick to respond with texting so I recommend that over email.
Emily Tyler Jonson
Cranky Al's catered our wedding this past weekend and they were absolutely wonderful! Joey was amazing and treated us amazing. His customer service is exceptional. The donuts were delicious even after being displayed for hours. The display they put out was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!!
Sarah Marble
Cranky Al's provided desserts for a wedding that I was at this last week and I may have sampled a few different donuts because they were AMAZING!!!! I HIGHLY recommend ordering from them for any event!
Tyler Stohl
Joey is the absolute man, he took care of us for our wedding last minute when our first vendor ghosted us! The end result was an amazing experience customer service wise, but the donuts themselves are unreal. Even made some special request flavors for me and my fiance. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
Sam Albiero
Some of the best donuts I've ever had. Get there early or you will be waiting, guaranteed. Joey, the owner, is super nice and is always taking out orders and helping in the back. He loves walking around and chatting with customers. When you think of local mom and pop business, this is what you should imagine. Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Fantastic business.
Austin Dorenkamp
Great donuts and solid coffee! A highly recommended morning destination whether you live in the area or are just passing through. Thoroughly enjoyed our apple fritter, peanut butter buttercream donut, and iced raspberry truffle drink!
James Feldmann
Whoever didn't rate this 5 stars has no taste buds and should be ashamed of their life choices.
Dan Mayer
Everything here is so good! Big portions. Great doughnuts. Even a veggie option for your wives!
Justin Cormia
Cranky Al’s is a national treasure. There, j said it. I’ve been coming here for a while now, and it never fails to impress. Just some of the most delicious doughnuts out there. Nothing super crazy flavor wise, but just well thought out and well crafted doughnuts that will keep you coming back for more… and more.
Alexander Chirban
This place has the best donuts in the area. Definitely pricier but the quality difference is there.
Marco Bonacquisto
Home town donut shop serving up a bunch of great breakfast options! Everything is great and is worth the price! If you get a burrito then bring someone to share it with because it's HUGE! The staff is always very friends but in a rush because of how busy they get. Great for family's or a morning date with a significant other. Be warned, the later in the morning it is the longer the line will be!
Jamie Hendrix
The bagel breakfast sandwich was delicious. We had the ham and cheese and the sausage egg and cheese. We tried a raised glazed donut and it was delicious. The breading was baked nicely and perfect amount of glaze. The cold brew was superb. Thanks for the great and fast service. It was our first time in and will for sure continue to come.
Matt W
Great food - the donuts, breakfast sandwiches and other items are superb. I come here a few times per week and it’s always worth the drive, and the wait. That said, I wish they’d upgrade their curbside ordering process. Regularly, we have problems with staff finding orders. They always seem to think we placed an online order, when it’s always by phone. When you bring this up, they can be rude. Just trying to support a small business during a pandemic. 🤷♂️ Here’s hoping things improve because this is literally my favorite place in the world for breakfast.

Really nice medium size donut shop. Tons of options but you have to get there early. We showed up at 7:30 and the line was almost out the door. They have plenty of seating, but people really like the donuts and slowly pick. You can pre-order 24 hours ahead, so definitely do that if you get more than a dozen.

I first noticed Cranky's as I would commute the area then I began getting curious when I always saw long lines out the door. I looked them up online and saw they had 5 Star ratings so I knew I had to try them for myself. So I followed their order day before rules and my day came on January 16 2021 and OMG, these are the best Donuts I've ever had I just wish I could go back in time to have them when I first noticed them. Cranky's has variety from classic to more modern donuts and they offer other breakfast it's such as bagel sandwich and burritos which I have not tried yet but I did try their Meat Lovers breakfast pizza. I recommend Cranky's over any other donut shop within 50 miles of Milwaukee County so it's beyond pleasure to give them 5 STARS
Todd Dannenfelser
Other ratings to high. Crawler was to cake like and not enough crisp. Bowl was basic and pizza was plain.
Joe Obligato
I'm a local Wauwatosa resident and always stop by on the weekends when I'm free. Fantastic doughnut options, great service and if you're in a rush the online ordering platform works very well.
I ask for Joey if I have a problem and he's always happy to help!
Jon Stanwood
A real local gem! Besides the amazing doughnuts and service that's friendlier than the name implies, breakfast is great, too.
I just had the bacon tacos for the first time, and they were tasty and hearty.
Patrick Chaves
I love Cranky's donuts! They have such a wide variety of donuts to choose from and they all have been delicious. Their breakfast burrito also came in very clutch one morning before work and it was so tasty and great portion. I always look forward to my next visit there.
Pat Doran
Best donuts in town!
Recommend going early or ordering ahead online to ensure you get what you want. Although all of their donuts are good, and you won't have a bad experience no matter which one you pick.
Maxwell
They have awesome Cronuts. Also you have to try the breakfast bagels. They’re fantastic. Milwaukee rocks.
Sandi Kirchen
Crullers were disappointing. They were dried out.Sendiks are better
angela schoenung
Love me some cranky Al's!! Donuts and coffee fabulous! Even hot breakfast! Gluten free donut is the best you'll find in Milwaukee!
Justin Latawiec
By far the best donuts I've have ever had. Arrive early if you want a variety of options as they do sell out fast, but in this case that's a good thing because you know they are making these daily and they are always fresh and delicious!
Micah Fritz
Great donuts, great atmosphere. Staff is always helpful and friendly. I enjoy being able to see the same faces every time I stop by. Even when the line is out the door on busy days, it moves quickly as the service is always fast. Easily my favorite donut place in the city.
Steven T Ulatt
Really great breakfast bagel sandwich! Very busy, lots of to-go business. Donut specialty shop. Yum!!

UPDATE: The owner replied. Here is my suggestion for the business: I have had a circadian rhythm disorder for 9 years. "When you wake up in the morning" - I don't, that's the problem. By the time I'm up, I cannot 1) Come in person 2) Call on the phone to order 3) Order online. So, I have no options. That means only once in a blue moon can I get these donuts (hence 3 years I spent chasing these down). Please add an option to your online ordering that customers can order for DAYS AHEAD. Why is the only option to order for 24 hours in advance? I'm not complaining about the 24 hour cutoff - the business needs to consolidate orders ahead of time to reasonably make them - I'm saying the ordering window is too tight. I would like to be able to order donuts at 9 PM for two days ahead, for example. THAT should be an option, but isn't currently on the website. If I could order days ahead, I could send my husband or friends to pick them up. I hope this can be considered.
Excellent vegan donuts. But not entirely happy with the experience. The hours are very bad. And the ordering process is insanely bad. You can only come here at the crack of dawn otherwise they’re closed, if you come later in the morning they’re sold out of everything, the line is out the door, and if you want to pre order? Yeah that has to be done at the crack of dawn as well, because they “don’t accept orders after noon” for the next day. So unless you literally have alarms on your phone + a calendar appointment to set aside time 24 hours in advance, at like 7am the day ahead, you won’t be able to order your donuts. So while the donuts are good, I have been trying to come to cranky als for the vegan donuts for about 3 YEARS but they were closed, sold out, or not accepting orders every single time! I had to chase after them for 3 years!!! And so I wouldn’t come back. Like I said, the hours and the ordering are waaaayy too horrible. But they have plenty of customers so I guess they won’t be changing their infuriatingly bad setup anytime soon. Coming to cranky als just makes me cranky...
Gregory Guenther
Donuts were wonderful, not overly sweet, balanced.
Candice Berryman
We've always loved Cranky Al's and I never think to leave a review because their donuts speak for themselves. With this quarantine happening, I'm in LOVE with the build your own donut box! Our almost 3 year old lives for donuts and could not be more excited to make and eat their donuts. If you haven't been here yet, you need to go! I also couldn't get through on the phone because everyone is so busy right now, and they were able to help me through Instagram. Talk about extraordinary customer service!
Annalisa Hutt
This is such a fun place to take my kids to get a donut! The staff are always friendly and engaging. It's a warm, inviting environment. Depending what time of day you go, you may not be able to get indoor seating. It's definitely a local favorite.
As far as gluten free options: I stick with a coffee and the breakfast tacos (no cheese). They're served on thick corn tortillas (locally made), with a choice of bacon or sausage (I think there is one more meat option) mixed in with the eggs. It's topped with fresh tomatoes and lettuce. You have the option of adding avocado. It comes with sides of sour cream and salsa. You get three to an order.
Overall: great service, good food, and good people!
Todd
Amazing donuts! You can easily tell the difference between fresh donuts and the thawed out ones from most places.
We also enjoyed the pizza and a burrito. All delicious and reasonably priced.
Stephanie Panos
Wow the donuts are the densest I’ve ever had. Excellent gluten free donuts- my bf thought I’d snuck him a real one. Why do they close at 11:30 am though?! How am I going to eat pizza in the morning? Please extend at least until 2pm.
Matt Wicker
Best donut shop in the world! I’ve tried numerous times while traveling extensively for work to find one comparable, but I have yet to succeed. Although Joey is a Bears fan, he’s a good guy and a great family man. Wish him continued success in our community.
Kelly Ackmann
This is our favorite breakfast spot. Their breakfast burritos are amazing. You can get Bailey's in your coffee. We always take out of town friends here. Of course their donuts are good as well! Have not tried their pizza yet but I've heard good things. The owner is always super nice. Sometimes it's hard to find a space to sit, but that just means everyone knows how good it is!
Chris Stock
First time visit. From the crowd of happy customers and steady stream of visitors I would say this place makes good donuts. None of which I tasted. I did have the coffee which was excellent. Very trendy place in a hipster Wauwatosa neighborhood.
paul watzka
Though best known for their amazing and often unusual donuts they also have great coffee. They have also expanding into a varied and delicious breakfast menu. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a wonderful place to sit and relax. Definitely worth checking out.
Krista Hopp
We had the most amazing breakfast burritos here! The donuts were sold out by the time we got there (10:30 on a Saturday, so it was understandable). I would definitely recommend it!
Dan K
I love donuts but not necessarily sugar or super sweet things. (I don't get it either) I love Cranky Al's. I've only been there once so I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but the donut selection is great, and they don't seem to load them up with artificial flavors and extra sweeteners. I had a maple donut and a cruller and both were just right. More savory than sweet. The coffee was good too. This made a great halfway stop on a 50 mile bike ride. It's right on the bike lane too!!
David Shih
Good lord this place is amazing. The breakfast burritos are the size of your head. You could totally split one if you wanted to and you'd be fine. Also, those donuts are amazing.
However, let it be said that no one there was cranky. The staff was actually quite nice. Just so you know.
Love this place!
Susan Edington
Life changing donut experience! Cranky Al's donuts will change the way you start your day. From the Maple donut to the Bavarian cream to the Oreo cake donut and the perfection of the crueller--you can't go wrong! The staff will greet you like you are next door neighbors and you can enjoy your donuts & coffee or tea in the eclectic decor of a great Tosa spot! You can even order yummy breakfast sandwiches and more!
Ryan
Cranky Al's is quickly becoming a legendary location for donuts, pastries, drinks, and breakfast food! Make sure you order early on the weekends cause the demand is sky high!
Dan K
Great, locally-owned donut shop. The staff is always extremely friendly and upbeat. The various donuts are deliciously unique. Grab a coffee while you're there as they brew some tasty cups from a local roaster.
Kim Widmann
Just had my first donut from Cranky Al's today...O...M...G!! Was absolutely delicious! I had one w purple frosting, which tasted like blueberry...amazing, so fresh, thank you!
Sandi Everson
We are from out of town found Cranky Al’s online due to need for GF donuts. Lined up outside at 7 am. Moved in quickly everyone is anything but cranky, efficient friendly awesome staff and company that has gone above and beyond at developing a top notch system to serve their customer despite Covid. This place totally rocks.
Emily Wilson
Like many other people, consuming doughnuts brings me happiness. If you're not a local, like myself, you should go early in the morning for the best selection (or order online). They have different baked doughnuts, frosting, and topping combinations. Plus they do have vegan and gluten free. This place is for sure either tied for first place or second for quality of doughnuts (Sweetwaters of Kalamazoo, MI is first sorry).
Jill Swanson
For my first time there, I was impressed. We had a very knowledgeable curly haired young man who was so nice and pleasant, (a trait you don't find much of.) Breakfast pizza, yummy, chicken waffles, very yummy, and chorizo tacos, over the top nummy. The gummy bears donut was interesting as was the m&m donut, I guess you gotta be a kid. All in all a wonderful experience and will definitely be back soon.
Rebecca Frank
Amazing! Forgot my wallet one time and they were so nice to let me do an IOU... It's pretty rare these days to find a place so connected to its community. Was happy to return the next day to pay my debt and buy more delicious donuts! Go early on Fat Tuesday, this place sells out quick! I usually have my 2 year old with and the staff are super kind to kids!
Stephanie Vienonen
I love that there are yummy vegan donut options! Only wish they would add some other vegan breakfast options, like a burrito or pizza.
Benjamin Sharples
The donuts. Oh God, the donuts.
Cranky Al's is one of the local staples that absolutely must be experienced at least once in your life. I've never had anything here that wasn't life-changing levels of delicious.
The only thing stopping me from replacing my entire diet with their food is my unwillingness to only wear elastic waistbands for the rest of my life.
Andy Plamann
Hands down the BEST donuts in the Milwaukee area. Owner \ manager Joey is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He always greets us with a smile and has high-fives for the kids.
Come back at night for pizza \ fries \ wings \ fish fry. It's all great. Every time we go to Cranky Al's we know the food and experience will be excellent.
Because it's so good the line can get a bit long at peak times but don't worry. The line can be out the door and you'll be at the counter and ordering in under 5 minutes. Fast, friendly, excellent. Everything you could want in a neighborhood donut shop.
Anchal Scott
Great donuts, amazing food, and reasonable prices! I went there for the first time yesterday thanks to a recommendation from a friend and they absolutely did not disappoint! I got a chocolate sprinkle donut and a sausage, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich, and let me tell you. That sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in my life. A sausage egg and cheese bagel is my go-to breakfast, so I consider myself something of a connoisseur. I am not exaggerating when I say it’s the best I’ve ever had. For anyone interested in checking it out, my piece of advice is to get there early if you want some of their special donuts because by the time we got there (around 10:30ish on a Sunday), all they had left were the classics like vanilla frosted, chocolate sprinkle, and vanilla longjohn.
Chris Steigerwald
Cranky Al’s has THE best donuts in the Milwaukee area but I’m more impressed by their customer service and friendly atmosphere!! Our latest experience is a perfect example...we placed an online order for Father’s Day and when we picked them up we got the wrong box due to all the confusion of a busy Sunday morning combined with Father’s Day. I called them and had to return to the store to get the correct box. The whole thing was dealt with the right way so even when there’s a mix up, which probably isn’t that often, they make sure their customers are left happy. I couldn’t recommend a place anymore than I recommend Cranky Al’s.
Chris Webster
This is my go to for donuts. The Apple Fritters are the best I've ever had. It's not uncommon for the line to wrap around the dining area, but it moves quickly. The breakfast burritos are a decent size too, but they take a little while so prepare to wait 10-15 min for one on a busy morning.
They also offer the pizzas at several other establishments around Wauwatosa - Camp Bar and the Hoyt Park beer garden, to name a few. It's definitely good for pre-made pizza, but it's on the expensive side.
Mark Carroll
I place my order every Friday to get them Saturday morning. HOW HAVE I GONE THROUGH LIFE THIS LONG WITHOUT A MAPLE BACON DONUT?!? It's lunacy!
The girls behind the register are friendly, the barista knows what she's doing for the coffee, and the owner is always happy to see you, whether it's the first time or the hundredth.
I drive clear across town for these guys. You shouldn't pass up the chance to have their donuts.
Quinn Dérive
You know those places with a line to the door? The ones where you queue up regardless of the wait? That is Cranky Al’s. The vegan donuts had a perfect balance of sweetness and intrigue. The toppings are simple but amazing. Not to mention, 100% worth the wait time and the cost, both shorter than you could ever imagine if you saw the line.
Bekah L
Love it there! Best donuts in town! Heartbeat of the community!
Tgatterer
This is a quaint little donut/coffe shop in Tosa. The staff is friendly and courteous. Their donuts are fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed the maple bacon donut- a maple iced long john with a full strip of bacon nested on top. The black and tan is a vanilla cake donut with chocolate icing - it was very moist, not dry at all as cake donuts can be. Their icing is thick, creamy and not waxy at all. I recommend the breakfast burrito or breakfast tacos. They are stuffed full and oh so fresh. Next time, I try breakfast sandwiches, or maybe even the pizza.
Kyle Salewski
Definitely some of the best donuts in Wisconsin. If you haven't tried them yet, you really need to! They have great pizza also (which they also serve to Camp Bar). This is a place that you need to stop into if you are visiting the Milwaukee area or even if you've lived here all your life.
Amy Kelly
The buttercream filled donuts and crullers are to die for!! I love the creative and tasty treats! The people that run the shop are wonderful and their employees are fabulous! Worth every penny, stop in - you'll be glad you did!!
Bill Bereza
The good: the breakfast burrito, donuts, and parfait were delicious. The not good: the BLT wrap was mostly lettuce that could've come from Subway, the acoustics are loud, and it's self service. A good place to get a donut and breakfast to go, but not the place if you want a relaxing sit down meal.
Lisa Neeb
Our favorite Saturday morning treat! Donuts and service always top-notch. We are hoping the smores donut gets added to the regular menu . Thank you for providing delicious donuts!
Jean
I had the Canadian bacon and mozzarella cheese quiche, it was delicious. My son had the sausage egg and cheese bagel, said it was good. Had the Bavarian cream and buttercream filled donuts, very good. Of course we got some crullers, because that is what they are known for.
Albert Maruggi
Love this place, people, coffee, crullers, food, crullers yeah they are awesome, stopped by every morning during my stay at a great Air BNB just up 69th street. Thanks Cranky : )
Anthony Cross
Googled breakfast places, was staying out in Waukesha for a weekend. This place popped up, so we decided to give it a try. No regrets. Hands down some of the best breakfast food and donuts I’ve ever had. 11/10, would recommend anyone who’s thinking about this place to TRY IT. Will most definitely be coming back next time I’m out in the Milwaukee area.
Andrew Kleinow
Love the donuts here. I drive 30 minutes just for Sunday morning donuts 🍩. Come early they get busy and run out. Am usually here before 7 a.m. …
Tyra Lea Mann
This is by far the best breakfast place in the city for donuts, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. Moving from New York City I was extremely sad to give up my bagels. Cranky Al's bagel sandwich is exactly like what I got back in the City. The warm, delicious bagel, the large sausage Patty covered in cheddar cheese, and everything has the option of adding avocado. The service is great, atmosphere is welcoming, and great find in Milwaukee/Tosa. If your in the area you must stop by.
Haleigh Courtney
Ordered a 12" bday cake for my little boys birthday. They didn't disappoint. There was a slight misunderstanding with my friend who was picking up the donuts and the owner ended up driving 15 minutes to PERSONALLY hand deliver it himself!!! The flavor and design was 12/10. I will come back every trip to Milwaukee. Thank you so much for making the start of my little boys day so right. 💙 best service, flavor, and design I've ever seen and I'm a donut fanatic!
Nick L.
Fantastic donut shop. Great vibes. Breakfast food is just as good as the donuts. Chorizo burrito was perfect.
Mark McMullen
There was a long line but we moved through quickly. We enjoyed the meat lovers breakfast pizza.
Jeremy Montoya
Good donuts. Hot food although not purchased looked amazing. I didnt like the vanilla latte but my wife did so that's preference. Donut variety wasnt what I expected, I was thinking there would have been a wider selection compared to a grocery store or DD. Quality was also good, crueller was firm more than I'm used to. If this is a higher more fresh quality of a donut then I'm used to the cheaper stuff. First time customer but would go again. Communication from ordering drinks was off. Orders our coffees but wasnt given a number, when I asked how we will know they are ready the employee said it would just be called out. No one called out the drink name and we only heard numbers so a bit confusing. Otherwise it was nice.
Colleen Chianese
Donuts are amazing. Pizza is pretty great too. Excellent local shop to visit for dinner or breakfast. I should note - they have some pretty decent breakfast sandwiches and coffee too so you don't just have to get a donut.
kenwauna farrington
Excellent variety of donuts and other homemade foods. The peanut butter donut I got with the white icing and jimmie's was to die for. This place is dangerous for your waist 😂. I can't wait to return when I can't resist not having quality homemade donuts and great customer service together!👍👍 …
Curtis Baumgardner
Nice donut shop. Great service and good vibe. GO EARLY, it’s a local favorite, they might be out of donuts by the time you get there.
Kelsey Sageser
Joey and the whole Cranky Al's team was so easy to work with for our wedding day. They were able to create the perfect display and desserts for our wedding. Joey was easy to communicate with throughout the process and was very helpful on the day of so we did not have to think about a thing! Everything was wonderful and delicious, and all of our guests could not stop talking about how great they were as well!
Edmond Bedjeti
I come here for Donuts. They are awesome. The staff are great. I really don't know what to recommend. Today I did get the King Cake for the Mardi Gras. People in my office were quite happy. The only sad part was the baby in the cake was found on the second slice.
H. M.
Wow, outstanding selection of doughnuts. My first time there was in the early afternoon, most doughnuts had already sold out so I returned early the next morning only to find the place packed with customers having breakfast and a line for doughnuts.
The line moves quickly, the doughnuts are SO good, try the Apple Fritter. Baked goods appear to be made daily as they run out daily. Add coffee to your order and you're set! Always coming back for more.
katie scepanski
We tried the breakfast pizza for the first time and it was delicious! It was very flavorful and without grease. Of course, we had a few of the most delicious donuts also! 🍩 …
Tony K
Sausage egg and cheese on a bagel is very good
Amy Bauer
This review is solely on the doughnuts from Cranky Al's as we have yet to go indulge in the pizza (which we've only heard amazing things about).
My husband and I have been getting doughnuts every Sunday for the past few years. It's our little thing each week. When we lived in Texas we went to an amazing local place with no frills doughnuts that were awesome. When we moved back to Wisconsin we were looking for something similar so we could avoid the chain doughnut places. We stumbled across Cranky Al's and have never looked back.
They have so many doughnut choices your head will spin. Their classic doughnuts are solid and I have yet to find a better black and tan in all of Milwaukee. If you're feeling more adventurous then grab a gummy bear doughnut or maple/bacon one! It's always a riot to see my nephews' reactions when I give them a doughnut with M&M's on it because it's like they died and went to heaven.
The prices are completely reasonable for the quality of doughnuts you're getting as well. There's another local place that charges $3+ for a single doughnut which is insane in my opinion.
Hands down Cranky Al's is the place to go in the Tosa area. You will not regret it, and the line out the door every Sunday morning should be a clear indicator of that!
Elizabeth Tatum
I absolutely love going to this place! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I usually stop in on the weekend or occasionally during the week before work. I have yet to try out the pizzas and other items besides the donuts, coffee and breakfast sandwiches, but I'm sure I'll be just as pleased with them as I am with everything else! A real gem in our city!❤️
ck419gv
We had Cranky Als cater our wedding dessert and not only myself and my wife, but all of our guests raved about the donuts. He even bakes a very large donut for our “cake” cutting. I would recommend Cranky Als over any other donut shop in Milwaukee.
Taylor Molitor
Best homemade doughnuts in Wauwatosa, hands down, including the world's greatest crueller. Because their doughnuts are made in house and are incredible, they sometimrs run out aroud 11. Super friendly and efficient service. Great coffee options. Come back later for great and unique pizza!
Stacy Bartsch
Honestly amazing pizza. We crave it. Better yet, donuts are superb. And hospitality is second to none. These people value good ol' fashion customer service. Grateful to call this place a part of my community.
Lyndsay
Fun, unique selection of doughnuts. Doughnuts are delicious; prices are average. My favorite doughnut is the hoity-toity, very sweet though. There is plenty of seating, but by noon on the weekends the doughnut selection can be picked over, so come early.
Mr. Mark S. Griffin
It was a uniquely pleasant experience..I enjoyed the peanut butter ,buttercream doughnut, which was my favorite a what I sampled. I had a chocolate peanut cake doughnut and a classic loaf style cruller doughnut that had the best texture I've ever had; it was absolutely smooth but thick at the same time. I also tried a chorizo burrito (I typically don't eat or care for chorizo bye the way). So I was being very adventurous. The burrito was constructed with obvious care with intent to have an excellent presentation along with great taste like I make my own food. If I cared for chorizo it was near perfection. I ate 1/2 of the Big Burrito which was served with sour cream and salsa. Next time I will definitely try the meat lovers burrito! I really like this place.
Lucy Ng
Quick service, large portions, very clean
Melissa Platt
Cranky Al's always offers A+ customer service! We went there back in August for a treat for my son's 2nd birthday and they gave us a candle to put in his donut and celebrate! I went there this morning and the gentleman working the counter was super nice to both myself and my son. The donut variety they have is amazing, we will always make this our go-to donut shop!
Mike Hamann
I'd waste my time raving about this establishment. Read all the other positive reviews and just go there. .. It's that good. Local so they care and are good for the community. Family staff are really very very nice. I really like the open feel to the dining area, tall ceilings really make it feel big. They serve bottled beer too. Put Cranky Al's on your short list. .. you'll be happy you did. Super kid friendly and family oriented establishment but nice to bring your date to as well.
Bethany Kremel
My favorite place to stop after church on Sunday mornings. So good! Worth the wait in the usually long line. They're really fast at moving the line along too, so even if the line ends near the door, you can be through the line in in less than 10 minutes.
Nate Kane
Their breakfast burritos are so delicious. They have so many delicious doughnuts but do tend to sell out, so if you want more of a selection go earlier.
Kimberly Miller
Decided to order the veggie breakfast pizza as a treat for my family. I am so glad I did. The flavors of the pizza was so delicious. My family and I enjoyed it immensely.
Katie
The best donuts in the area! I love taking a walk to the shop, getting donuts and coffee, and hanging out at the little park kitty corner from the store.
Jaime Meyer
I wish I lived closer, it's such an ordeal to get to Wauwatosa from the East side, but it is definitely worth the trip. Amazing donuts, by far the best in the city. Thinking about them right now makes me want to play hooky for an hour and skip out of work for some donuts!
Caleb Varner
Great neighborhood shop! Line may be long but you generally move through it quickly. Can't go wrong with the donuts, but the bagel sandwiches and coffee are also delicious!
Aubrey Van Fleet
Their Pączki jelly donuts on Fat Tuesday are delicious!! The custard filled one was the best but their fruit ones are also tasty!
Michael Korsmeyer
Great donuts! Also highly recommend the breakfast burrito!
Emily Grunert
Amazing place!!! The people are super friendly and kind. The coffee and food are delicious!! Will come back again and again.
Joy Lyn Rehm
Yum. They probably are the best doughnuts in town. Get there earlier than we did ( noonish) to find the best selection. They had only 1 vanilla cake doughnut & crawlers left.
Harper Beck
Cranky Al's is an amazing place to visit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Their breakfast tacos and sandwiches are delicious, and so are their doughnuts.
Stephen DeLassus
When you go to a local establishment, and the owner goes out of his way to say hi to you, and your children, you know you've found something special. Great donuts, great staff, and an owner committed to the neighborhood and his customers. Just perfect.
A B
Cute place with good breakfast food (pizza and donuts). The AC was broken when we went, felt bad for the employees. My friend lives nearby and it's one of his favorite places to grab donuts from in the morning.
Rammspieler
They say they are the best donuts in the county and I am inclined to agree. I always come at 6 am sharp to get them fresh and when they are plentiful.
Madeline Tautges
The staff are so wonderful! Amazing donuts, good coffee, such a cool store that I'd love to come back to after the pandemic isn't raging.
Bill Ludovice
COVID-19 service was terrific! Black & Tans are the best (fresh) donuts. Coffee and breakfast sandwich were great too.
Visiting from Viroqua and walked in the rain on Sunday morning to enjoy Cranky Al's.
Casey Wierzchowski
Known for doughnuts but the muffins are some of the best around. Light and airy, perfect texture and just the right amount of sweet to the flavor. Blueberry is my favorite 😍 …
Jordan Hofer
Meat lovers burrito is AMAZING! Breakfast pizza on the weekends is delish too! They also have seasonal doughnuts and they hit those out of the park too!!! Owner is amazing, friendly, and just a great person!!!
Zoee Webster
Every time I come home rhere has been a stop here! I got the Pride donut, mom got the crueler, and the kiddo - some crazy candy covered glazed donut. It all was delicious. Got our BLT w/avo wraps to go.
Patrick Roney
Love this place! Great selection of donuts, but get there early. If they did a reboot of Cheers and replaced the bar with a donut shop the show would be modeled after this place.
Keith Baisden
The doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches are very tasty. The Cranky Al's team is very service oriented and friendly. Looking forward to trying the pizzas.
Connie Hogendyk
Stopped in for dinner last night. This place is great. Atmosphere and staff are very welcoming. The pizza was absolutely delicious With fresh ingredients, generous amounts. Prices were very affordable. I will return!
Robert Holloway
Donuts and coffee are good. Staff friendly but the customers are slow and dumb. They need 3 lines. 1 line you know how to order and know what you want. 2 line kinda know and 3rd line you have no idea why you walked into the building.
Tylin Xiong
Very nice environment, parking was very low. I only saw street parking. Got burritos, nice in size and worth their price. I wish they had more milk substitutes- like soy or coconut.
Mike Collins
Cranky Al's -- or now Cranky's, as it seems to have been renamed -- is where Wauwatosa comes together for coffee and bakery. My favorite part is its feeling of community. Early on weekend mornings, the locals visit in hordes. With good reason, too. Cranky's serves their customers well. Their cruellers rock and, for me, are the star of bakery lineup. Otherwise, Cranky's is all-around okay. Not the strongest coffee in town, but serviceable with doughy sugar bomb. They've got pizza at night too. I've had it a few times. It's good, but if you're really craving the best pizza, you may wish to visit elsewhere though I will admit, at the time I right this (June 2017) there does seem to be a dearth of pizza joints in Wauwatosa. Hmm...
Jessika Giddings
BEST bacon egg and cheese on a bagel I've ever had. I love sauce, but this didn't even need it. Fresh and delicious. 10/10
Marta Conlon
Went in for a breakfast sandwich. Never had one and thought I would give it a try. HUGE. I got the toasted ham and cheese. It comes in Texas toast and was enough for two days! Great value.
Luke Burkholder
Mmm... Donuts... Seriously they have some truly exceptional creations. Their apple fritter is something my wife gets the jimmies for from time to time. I'm a cruller guy myself, and they do not disappoint. The coffee is good, but this is not a coffee place. I am not a Wauwatosan, but this is in our regular rotation when our travels take us this way or when we have a hankerin' fer-a hunka' fried dough.
Joe Rocco
If you like doughnuts, coffee, and breakfast food you will not be disappointed by Cranky Al’s! Chorizo breakfast burrito is a must. One of the hidden gems of the Milwaukee area. Pizza and burgers pretty good as well.

I always go in for coffee and leave with a doughnut or sausage bagel in my hand too. The staff is superb and Joey remembers every face. Gotta love this place!

The legend goes...that if a pregnant woman who is at or past her due date eats one of Cranky Al's Crawler/Crueler donuts, she will go into labor. Haha, it will happen when the baby is ready. But, is is just a great excuse to make the drive down to Cranky's to enjoy a delicious baked good and one of the specialty coffes, breakfast or lunch as well. I see they also craftnpizza. The staff is so friendly and appears genuinely happy to be serving there. This is a must experience for your taste buds and a place to just rest your soul and body.

Been going there 6 years. Best pie in 'Tosa.
I actually had the perfect pizza from them in the month of July.
The sauce was outstanding. Crust was perfectly cooked. Sausage, onion, and peppers were exceptional.
Crystal Faron
Service was AWESOME and those doughnuts...to die for! If you're wanting a nice savory breakfast, give their ham, egg and cheese bagel a try while you're at it!
Josh Jefferies
Wondeful, fluffy, mouth watering, and delectable donuts. Crispy, cheese, fresh, and delicious pizza. I would say more but do I really have to?
Highly reccomend swinging in to meet the fun and high energy staff day or night to grab amazing morning treats or satisfying dinner.

Stopped by last Thursday because we were in the neighborhood, not realizing they were just closing. The only donuts they had left were crullers so we got those. That was the best cruller I ever had in my life!!
Paul Eiche
They have delicious donuts, both filled and regular. Pro tip: get your Mardi Gras donuts by calling ahead. They will sell out because they're so good!
Chuck Gresser
The vegan donuts aren't the best, but it's better than nothin. Thank you for making the conscious effort to provide options for our lifestyle.

This place will have you thinking about coffee and doughnuts for, well, until you go back because it's been too long. That maple bacon long john though. (Plays Gary Wright, Dreamweaver)
Evan McDonald
There was a mix-up between us ordering and the kitchen, but the whole team went out of their way to apologize and take care of us as warmly and hospitable as possible. We couldn't have asked for better service. And the pizzas were great too!
megan leigl
The pizza is my favorite in Tosa, hands down. Crust on the crispier side, fresh toppings, tons of glorious cheese. And huge chunks of sausage. The service is always friendly too.
