welcome to Matilda bakehouse!

​

We are a boutique bakery combining the best local and seasonal ingredients with Midwest family recipes and French baking techniques. Our kitchen is in Milwaukee's Third Ward and we opened our first retail location in Fox Point in 2024. We invite you in to enjoy a cup of coffee, pastry or dessert and our relaxing environment. If you're not able to visits us in Fox Point, you can also find our delicious breakfast pastry, cookies, bars and dessert at several coffee houses and restaurants around town (see our home page for the complete list). During the outdoor market season look for us at the Shorewood Farmer's Market every Sunday. Our menu changes daily based on seasonal ingredients and the artistry of our pastry crew. We encourage you to follow us on social media @matildamke to see what we're making today!

A special note from Allie:​

​

A bakery has been my dream for years. When the opportunity came, I knew exactly what the name needed to be... Matilda. The name doesn't come from the luscious chocolate cake in the Roald Dahl book (although we do have an amazing chocolate cake - pictured here). The name Matilda has a much deeper meaning to me. It’s the nickname my grandpa called my mom (Julie) when she was little. Then it became the nickname he called me when I was little. Now, he lovingly calls my daughters, Isabella & Lola, Matilda. Three generations of "Matilda’s" who are filled with creativity, spirit and might so it seemed the perfect name for our family bakery. For us, the name Matilda is the embodiment of family, love, comfort and strength. All of the most important things in life.

​

Everything we make is lovingly created FOR YOU, FROM SCRATCH every day. We hope it fills you with comfort and joy. We hope it puts a smile on your lips. We hope you love Matilda just as much as we do!

​

Please consider sharing the good news of Matilda bakehouse with others who crave something sweet, magical and filled with JOY.

Thanks!
