We picked Meringue Bakery for our wedding desserts and they were even more delicious than they looked. Guests were giving us nothing but complements about the cupcakes and said they were the best cupcakes theyve ever had. We had to grab one of each and set them to the side before our guests ate them all and left us with none. Everything was delivered on time and in great condition. They were decorated beautifully and the cake and cupcakes were exactly what we wanted.
Our wedding cake not only looks absolutely stunning but tastes perfectly moist and just delicious. Since my husband and I were married in a small town (Harshaw, WI), I could not find any bakers who knew how to make our cakes, except Jen! Although my husband and I had to drive 3 hours one way to pick up that cake, it was worth the drive. When we picked up that cake, our eyes were shining and our smiles could not be bigger. Jen also did something extra for us to bring the cake home safely. My husband and I are beyond blessed that we found Jen to do our wedding cake. Jen made our visions come true. We wanted half elegant looking and half fun looking peek-a-boo Lego wedding cake, Jen had executed to perfection. Everyone, family, guests, and vendors just love how the cake looks and the taste of it. Jen is a truly talented baker. I will eat her cake anytime anyday! If we lived in WI, we would order cakes from her for any occasion!** We booked Jen in 2019 for a 2020 wedding. We had postponed the wedding from 2020 to 2021 due to covid. We rescheduled our 2021 wedding with Jen without having any headache.
Jen is a true gem to work with. We ordered tarts for our wedding that were absolutely amazing, I had so many people tell me how tasty they were. Jen went above and beyond in making our wedding day so special!
We had these beautiful cakes made by Jen. I would buy every cake again 10x over. we also had gluten free cupcakes made that arent in the picture. However they were picture perfect and tasted amazing! Now the smores cake looked amazing and tasted even better the marshmallows on top was perfect! The second blue and pink cake was layered perfectly and the consistency was spot on. Some how we managed to eat all of it. The crack on the cake was self induced someone wanted to taste the frosting before the picture.
Pretty good bakery for the town. As a foodie I love my baked goods. This place was ok. Definitely has some skill in decoration, no doubt. The malted malt cake was moist, had good flavor, but didnt knock my socks off. The carrot cake was the same, the frosting had the right amount of sugar, but the cake lacked flavor, fairly bland. Things are pretty pricey so they better be damn good. This place has a big city attitude, and french pahache. But still needs to work harder to earn the right to be a five star bakery.
The raspberry almond cake was beautifully decorated and delicious; absolutely stunning and perfect for the occasion! The online ordering was easy and the cake was ready and waiting by the time specified on the website. Very friendly service. Highly recommend Meringue Bakery!
I called with a huge request - to ask if a cake could be delivered same day. Not only did they deliver a beautiful cake, but it was delivered within a few hours and they were incredibly kind when I explained my situation. Im so impressed...and thankful. Ill definitely use them again and highly recommend.
Recently relocated to the area after having been gone for the better part of the last 15 yrs - Stopped in for a little breakfast sandwich and coffee, both were fantastic! Great to see a little bit of something different in town to expand the options! Dont get me wrong, love the typical good greasy spoon faire, but new, healthier options in town are greatly welcomed!
Meringue is so wonderful. Every single item is perfectly made. Flower-frosted sugar cookies, ready for shipment, are just the right gift and made my sister really happy. Thank you, Jen and Meringue team!
OMG, the morning buns are so amazing. A sugar sprinkled roll. So amazing.
Friendly staff, very high end artisanal pastries, and wonderful savory items.
The pumpkin cheesecake was divine!!Cakes are moist and delicious. Truffles are yummy... (is there alcohol in some?)I cant wait to get more!!!
Fantastic bakery. Fantastic chicken salad sandwich. I didnt even like chicken salad sandwiches until I tired theirs. That good.
Wonderful place and everything looked so good. If you go to Lacrosse its a must place to go.
Killer cakes, candies and pastries. 100% the best place within 3h of La Crosse and maybe more
All I can say is “Wow!” Jen is an amazing talent and an even better human being. My husband and I were blown away at her skill set and innovation. But honestly, we were just as impressed with how amazing our wedding cake tasted! We had many people compliment on the cake and many who wished they had seconds. We loved Jen’s up front personality. There was absolutely no guessing with prices and she was honest every step of the way. She really won over my husband in just seconds of our first encounter. He greatly appreciated her directness about costs, but it was her warm personality that won us both over. I am a true believer that when you are in the hands of a great artist it is best to let them be and do their thing! We let Jen know general themes of interest and the rest was for her to design. She has amazing vision and with that, she absolutely delivered! Do yourself a favor! Book with Jen and her staff and let her do her thing, you won’t be disappointed!
Ordered ahead and was simply and completely satisfied with the items. The shortbread made me wish I would have ordered more. The pumpkin cupcakes were so moist and full of flavor. I wish I lived closer as this would be my go to guilty pleasure.
The most delicious, beautiful baked goods in the area! I ordered a gluten-free raspberry pistachio cake for my mom’s birthday last year and it was mouth-watering. Have also had several baked goods (cookies, pan au chocolat, scones, eclairs) and each is as great as the last. Jen is lovely and I would absolutely recommend stopping by and ordering from Meringue!
The pumpkin cupcake with dulce de leche and cream cheese frosting was delicious and perfectly spiced, and the chocolate croissant was also beautifully done.The rose/raspberry/pistachio mousse cake was fun (rose-flavored desserts are awesome!) and had an amazing, crunchy crust at the bottom, but it was overwhelmingly sweet for me - I had hoped to get more tartness from the raspberries. If you know someone with an extreme sweet tooth, though, it might be perfect.
Its Wonderful, every single trip there, never disappointed!, such creativity and flavorful!!! Thank you Jen!! 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Excellent and exquisite bakery items from a to z. Wedding cakes and much much more! Owner is so laid back and easy going. We love her and her family.
We were able to sample some cookies and treats!We were so excited it left us wanting more!Just called and the staff was very very kind and happy!We will be ordering soon!
The most amazing tasting cakes! You dont need much to realize this is the best tasting cake youve had . The decorating of the cakes is beyond amazing, and those were just normal orders# . I want to try ALL of their cakes! JEN, you need to give me a sample package of all your cakes.Your cake at my benefit went well. $67! Thank you for making it so beautiful!
Seriously had the BEST CUPCAKE I have ever eaten in my whole long life 😆 it was maybe lavender infused???? Not sure of the name. It was only a sample and I shared it with my daughter. I n e e d more
HAD LUNCH THERE AND DESSERT. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!
Jens baking skills and ability to combine flavors is simply amazing. My husband and I ordered a cake for our sons baptism - the flavor and texture of the cake was amazing and the design was beautiful and modern. Everyone at the gathering raved about the flavors - it was literally the best cake Ive ever eaten! We cant wait to order more treats from Meringue!
Jen and her team were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Everything was beautifully decorated plus the flavor was OUTSTANDING. The cake really made my wedding day feel so special.
Nice broad menu of tasty treats
You havent tasted excellence until you have tasted Meringue Bakery. The quality is above and beyond any other bakery in the area and the presetantation is gorgeous. Try it, youll have a new favorite bakery.
I dont understand the negative reviews. One has no comments, and the other has a stupid message about THEIR PHONE??I have a Czech background, and am 69 years YOUNG! I know good bakery by its Quality and Taste. This place has Great Cakes . YOU should check it out.
LOVE everything that comes out of the Meringue Bakery kitchen!!!! I have purchased 2 of the small cakes off of the website. They say they feed maybe 4 people.....but, they are so rich and so good that our slices tend to feed 10-12 people. The cakes are worth it!!!
The sandwiches and baked goodies from the showcase were all so delicious!
Picked up lunch and dessert today, it was absolutely delicious!
Everything is amazing here! The cake is what makes it special!!!
Cakes are divine! My go-to bakery for birthday cakes
Phenomenal bakery. From the unique or individualized taste to the presentation she gives. I have ordered many different cakes, cookies and cupcakes that Meringue always seems to out do herself each time. I highly recommend her for a special family dessert to the wedding cake of your dreams. I always look forward to find a reason to get the deliciousness she has to offer.
We love Jen Barneys Meringue Bakery! Delicious treats and cakes!
Must be the BEST BAKER. To win the bake off from 12,000 plus entrants.Will make a point to visit store.
Meringue has the most amazing baked goods ever. The talent put in to each and every creation is beyond belief. The cakes are absolutely gorgrous. I would encourage any and all out there to try this bakery
Really really good!
Everything Ive had from Meringue has been absolutely top notch!
Best bakery treats ever. Cakes, cupcakes, wedding treats..you name it . Yummmmm
Love how this bakery brings the desserts artistically to life whether it be a cake for a wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, birthday or cupcakes...it is everything you imagined.
Chocolate croissant is delish
I have placed several orders with Jen Barney at Meringue Bakery, and have been BLOWN AWAY every time! Her macarons are as good as I have had at Laduree in Paris...or at Fauchon, for that matter...they were packed so beautifully that I was sad to even OPEN them! But the TASTE...Omg, the taste! I could never choose my favorite. She lets the season dictate the flavors that she offers, I think, so that each order might give you a surprise. They were ALL delicious!Similarly, cupcakes are seasonal and delicious. Perhaps they are not the typical white/chocolate/marble that you might expect, but each one offers a flavor explosion, and a chance to enjoy the small things in life.I am so glad that Meringue Bakery operates here in LaCrosse, and I hope that Jen has a successful and viable practice well into the future. Please excuse me now; I want to place an order for Thanksgiving!
You havent lived until you tryed one of her desserts Awesome!
WonderfulJust wonderful
Brought in desserts for my coworkers and everyone loved them.
Love the owner and the food!!!
Nice breakfast place, like the French dim sum here
