Duke Bakery - Bakery and Cake Shop in Alton - 819 Henry St, USA

One of the many things that Dukes does well is birthday cakes. I walked in and bought this cake without ordering. it was around $50 and was delicious, moist, and really set the tone for an impromptu birthday party. If you’re not looking for a birthday party, they have a large number of other items. They have a large variety of donuts. My favorite is jelly. There’s something about the jelly donut that is not like other places. it’s not too sweet and the donut is not too big and it’s the best jelly donut around. if you want glaze, they are awesome as well. the chocolate long Johns delicious and the pastries are excellent. If Donuts or birthday cake is not what you’re looking for, then go for the cookies. Good variety and excellent taste. Then there are the pies. Cherry pie is my favorite. if you’re picking up donuts after school when you pick up the kids, chocolate milk and orange juice are also choices. I’ve gone there before at 3 o’clock and had a good variety of choices. By the way I forgot to mention how great the bread is. My son has gone by on Sunday morning and brought some home after church. It’s an iconic location on Henry Street an old neighborhood a large variety of people go in And the people that are helping are so kind and helpful. I highly recommend Dukes if you are looking for any kind of baked item

Stopped by to grab some goodies for one of our teams. The staff was very professional, and the location was awesome! It had a lot of the small town feel to it. The cookies I purchased were a hit! When I come back through the area, I will make sure that I stop by again!

Cute little place on a corner. Visted for the first time this morning. The pastries were good.

Bought a half sheet cake for my sons 12th birthday. It was the most flavorful sheet cake ever and the whipped cream icing was perfect. We also picked up a fruit pizza for breakfast. It was super yummy.

I've lived in Alton for over 50+ years. My parents would stop by Dukes on our way home from church and get yum yum for me and my siblings. The freshest, softest melt in your mouth, not overly sugared glazed but the right amount donuts I have ever experienced in all my years. Still a tiny, tight fit atmosphere, but it's perfect to serve just what you need. Always greeted with kindness. Don't change a thing.

First time ever going here since I decided to support local bakeries this thanksgiving instead of Walmart. Their pumpkin pie is homemade, and absolutely delicious. Prices were more expensive than your regular grocery store pie, but only by a few bucks. Totally worth it. Location is convenient and beautiful. Store is clean and well organized. Lots of pies, donuts, cakes, you name it. Staff is super nice, always attentive and ready to help you! You can tell there is pride in what they do here. I’ll continue to support them and you should definitely try them out!

Stopped in on a Monday afternoon, glad they were opened. Everything I purchased that day was good. I will have to back on a Saturday because that is the day they make donuts 😊

Tried getting a birthday cake, I have a torn TCL, it was impossible to make it in the store. I struggled for 10 minutes as the people behind the counter just gawked. This was my favorite bakery because it was really good food but after the embarrassment I can never go back. So disappointing.
