Ryke’s Bakery . Catering . Cafe

My brother just bought me a Ryke’s cake for my birthday tomorrow, quarter sheet cake, marble cake, bavarian cream between the two layers, and cream cheese frosting, it has always been my favorite.
My grandma, dad’s mom brought me a full sheet cake for my high school graduation I love all my family…

The donuts are pretty good, and they have a lot to choose from. They also have cookies, cake, and cheesecake. I also go in there for lunch every once and a while, and they are super fast. Their lunch menu isn’t the greatest but the deli is awesome. The customer service is really good there too!

I’ve had their delicious, wafer-​thin butter cookies for years, but never visited the bakery itself. What was I missing?! Incredible selection of bakery items. The most incredible-​tasting Bavarian crème donuts I have ever had, not to mention pecan rolls, apple fritters, sourdough donuts and tasty coffee. This will be a MUST visit on my trips to Muskegon.

Cakes, cupcakes, cookies, café offerings… all amazing. The cakes are pricey, but SO worth it for special occasions. Over the years, we’ve had nothing be excellent experiences with Ryke’s.

Best bakery in Muskegon! I love anything that comes from here! The butter cookies are amazing and you can never go wrong with any cake from this place! Every time I come here I have a great experience.

Best cake Ever. Hands down. Donuts are delicious and the gourmet cupcakes are so creative and cute. All of the café items and salads are delish, especially the Limited-​time-​only, Friday special, Jamaican jerk burrito.

My girlfriend and I did not visit Ryke’s Bakery, but did have their cake in a buffet setting at the Frauenthal Theatre, in Muskegon, Michigan, on Saturday, October 4, 2014. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing was served. The cake and icing were excellent. I would highly recommend Ryke’s Bakery to anyone in the Muskegon area!

Every once in a great while, you come across menu items so mind-​blowing that it takes the better part of a day to reconcile the new information with your existing worldview. The Baja Bad Dog at Ryke’s did exactly this. It’s a hot dog (with a bun) — wrapped in a tortilla — filled with beans cheese and salsa. I thought I had experienced eating a hot dog — if you can even call this a hot dog — every which way there was. I thought I’d dressed a dog up and down with all of the fixin’s that anyone had ever considered. The good folks at Ryke’s have proved me wrong, and I couldn’t be happier. Somebody over there deserves a medal.
On top of that, the coffee is hot and fresh, the apple tarts are perfectly flaky, and the butter cream is not too buttery or heavy, it really does ride the line of perfection. Top that all off with the friendly and prompt service I received and you can understand why Ryke’s has earned my 5 stars and repeat business. I will be back. And I’ll be getting the Junkyard Dog next time. See you soon, Ryke’s!

I go to Ryke’s every time I’m in the Muskegon area and have been going since I was a little kid. My family always buys a cake and their amazing long johns, regardless of whether it’s a special occasion or not!
The texture and taste of their cakes and cupcakes is unmatched by any bakery I’ve ever been to (I am a huge cake and cupcake fan and I live in an area with a lot of bakeries…) and their frosting is absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough good things about Ryke’s. It is probably a good thing that I don’t live in Muskegon because I would be about three hundred pounds heavier. I hope Ryke’s stays open forever!!!

Amazing Chicken Pot Pie soup! F-​A-​B-​U-​L-​O-​U-​S

HOLY MOLY!!! I’m in love with the butter cookies! I actually thought about moving from Chicago just for the butter cookies…

Friendly staff, locally owned, great atmosphere, amazing baked goods. Without question the best bakery in town. I go here for doughnuts on every visit to Muskegon.

I recently returned to Ryke’s, and to my delight, the whole coffee problem seems to be solved. The self-​serve coffee selection has been moved up to the front, and all canisters were full. While we were drinking our coffee, an employee came by the table and made sure everything was ok, and told us that we were welcome to a refill on the coffees. The donuts were delicious as always. Hooray! Bakery and café success!

This is the best bakery in the Muskegon Area. I have been a fan of Ryke’s Bakery my whole life. It has changed hands a few times and the quality dipped a little but these new owners have redeemed the name.
I have never had a better cake. The frosting & filling are so yummy and the cake always moist.
No one has been able to duplicate their famous thin butter cookies. They are more addictive than potato chips!

The best cake you’ll ever eat. My daughter’s choice for her birthday cake

Great place for wedding cakes and cupcakes — a Muskegon «legend». I was married a year ago and I had Rykes do my cupcakes and a small cake. Amazing, as usual! When my husband went to order a one year anniversary cake — and drive one hour (one way) to get it — they looked up the previous cake flavors/​frosting for him. They also have great hot dogs and burritos. Go for their food, bakery items and service. Atmposhere and Location not so great.

Planning a group trip to Muskegon, I consulted the trusty Unilocal!for help in feeding my people a light breakfast. I was encouraged by what I read about Ryke’s, so I gave them a call. The business owner was extremely helpful and accommodating and even struck up a conversation, so I felt excited that this would be a personal food experience.
From amazing donuts to terrific pastries, to the pineapple orange muffin to which I indulged and still taste, the treats were phenomenal. Topped with excellent coffee, the folks with which I traveled remarked that if they lived in Muskegon, they would be at Ryke’s every day.
The owner also personally greeted me, continuing our conversation from the initial phone call. I was pleased to let her know that if I was ever in the area again, I’d definitely be by again. I’m sure the other members of my group feel the same.
Arriving back in Northville, more than one person reported that their selection had achieved «best of» status. Does a compliment get better than that?

Ryke’s makes probably THE best pastries and cakes that I have had the pleasure to enjoy. Rykes has a smoothness, texture and taste-​bud satisfying flavor all its’ own. The ladies there are helpful, friendly, and knowledgable of all things tasty at Ryke’s. Definitely worth your time and money.

My sister told me about how she had a cupcake from a wedding that she went to and requested that I get her birthday cake from here as well. I did order it from here and the person I spoke with was super helpful and patient as I was somewhat indecisive on what to order. We went with a piña colada type of cake that had a pineapple and lemon filling with buttercream frosting. The pink and green scroll design was beautiful and the cake was delicious! My sister was super happy with it, and the pricing was just right. Oh my sister also picked up some chocolate chocolate chip cookies that were SOOO good here! I’m sure that you’ll walk out of here with more than you intend.

I ordered my wedding cake & pies from here on recommendation of a friend in Holland.
Renee (who does the custom orders) was fabulous. She’s understanding, creative, and she sticks to the design that she drew up for you.
I bake & decorate cakes, it’s one of my favorite things to do, and I was extremely happy with the flavor, texture and design of the cake. Everyone raved about it. I added the flowers myself, but Renee did offer their hand at that as well. I’m sure they would have done a great job, but I’m a bit of a control freak.
The pies were also delicious. I requested that they make the pies look homemade. They put little cherry leaf cut outs all around the pie crust for the cherry pie, and made the apple pie, lattice top. They were great.
I can’t say enough good things. Go with Rykes!
