A neighborhood donut spot that serves breakfast food and coffee. What more could you want? Their breakfast burrito is delicious and filling and their donuts are top notch. Staff is always really helpful, just get there on time because they do sell out!

YUM! Although my husband and I arrived late in the morning to have a wide selection of donuts we were still able to get a cruller and a breakfast sandwich. I was very pleased with the breakfast sandwich, fresh bagel and ingredients used. We will be back to enjoy some different flavors of donuts in the future :)

Cranky Al's came in clutch for our wedding! We chose to do a Donut Wall instead of a cake and our guests loved it and so did we. Joey was easy to work with in setting up everything and even worked with us on pricing keeping in mind we were at the top of our budget for the wedding already. Thank you Cranky Al's for making such a fun donut wall and flavors for our wedding!

Come here for the CRONUT experience. You will not be sorry you did! What is a cronut you ask? It's the best of a croissant (moist, luscious layers) crossed with a sky-high raised donut. Cronuts. Are. EPIC. Is it draped with heavy frosting? NO. Is it rolled in candy or cereal? NO. Is is stuffed with anything? NO. It is just layers and layers of delicious, delicate pastry enrobed in a light icing. Not too sweet, and just the perfect donut!

Pumpkin OREO Buttercream Doughnut: Cranky Al's is a coffee/doughnut/pizza shop (sounds too good to be true), located in East Tosa (Wauwatosa for you nonlocals). One of their seasonal offerings this year is an agglomeration of three of my favorite things: doughnuts, OREOs, and pumpkin. The Pumpkin OREO Buttercream Doughnut (POBD) is a raised/yeast doughnut with jack o lantern orange icing littered with OREO cookie crumbles. If that's not enough, the POBD is supposed to be stuffed with more cookies and cream filling than candy in a fat kids trick or treat bag. Sawing my Long John in half like a slasher film victim, I was horrified to see not an ounce of filling in the center! This ultimately ended up not being too big a deal, as what I failed to realize was that the filling was not inserted on a single end, but on both ends. Long story short, the doughnut had plenty of filling, it was just disproportionately placed on both ends. This was a delicious tasting doughnut from the sweet filling to the buttery and pleasantly chewy dough. My only real complaint is they should either change the name or give a description of the doughnut on their website. Cranky's calls it a Pumpkin OREO Buttercream Doughnut, but there's no pumpkin flavor, making the name misleading (calling it pumpkin just because of orange icing is a stretch). As an OREO "Cookies and Scream" doughnut this is doughboy approved (5 stars), but as a pumpkin doughnut it's just okay (2 stars). My favorites from Cranky Al's: 1. Peanut Butter Buttercream 2. Nutella 3. Pumpkin OREO Buttercream 4. Cinnamon Roll 5. S'more 6. Hoytie Toytie Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Best donuts in Wauwatosa, also their breakfast sandwiches are a favorite of mine as they are so fresh with warm bread. Sooo delicious! Just a tip to come early before 10 if you didn't order the night ahead for donuts.

This is going to be my go to donut place! I was surprised there weren't that many options in MKE. So far these have been the best! I went 10am on a Sunday and there was at least 20 people in line! The donuts looked so good and they were the best I've had so far in the city. Their cake donuts are really good and I hope they have blueberry at some point. Raspberry filled was amazing and actually huge! The bagel sandwich I had was lacking though. Wouldn't get again, but would definitely come back for the donuts:)

The best donuts in the city - dare I say state, or region! Cranky Al's has it all. Cake donuts, fried donuts, filled donuts, even specialty donuts! I have had coworkers bring donuts in before, but had not been to the location until a few weeks ago. I wanted to celebrate my last day with a special treat, so I placed an online order. Their website is very clear that all online orders must be placed well in advance to ensure they are ready for pickup. The online ordering process was a breeze! Pick-up was very straightforward. The business is spacious and lively. I received my donuts and hopped in line to get another donut - a maple long john - for the road. Best. Donuts. Ever. All of the staff agreed these are the best donuts, and one person even said that the cream-filled donut was the best she had ever had. Highly recommend!

It was a coworker's birthday and I wanted to grab a sweet treat for the office! Cranky Al's was right around the corner, so I placed an order the morning before and thank goodness I did! They sell out very quickly, so I highly recommend ordering the day before (I believe you have to order by noon the day before!). The donuts were super tasty and definitely a hit! They have a bunch of fun flavors (there's one with gummy bears on top that I sadly didn't order). They also offer a variety of food options and drinks as well and can also do custom orders (I've been eyeing the giant donut cake haha)! I'll definitely be back for more donuts & coffee next time!

Highlights 1. Gluten-Friendly Options 2. Fast Service 3. Delicious Food I had always been curious about Cranky Al's so finally made the trip to Wauwatosa late on a Sunday morning for breakfast. I had been craving a gluten-friendly (gluten-free but made in the same kitchen!!) doughnut for a long time and was so excited to see they had multiple varieties of GF. I got one of each which was chocolate frosted, a vanilla frosted and a cinnamon. These were worth the wait!! Perfectly soft and doughy. I grabbed a bacon, sausage and cheese bagel sandwich first by husband which he said was excellent. I arrived around 11am so I was able to walk up and order right away but I did see they had stanchions up so I assume at peak hours this gets pretty busy. 10/10 would highly recommend for dining in (very casual, pick a number and seat yourself vibe) or carrying out!
