More Than a Bakery. More Than a Restaurant.

Welcome to Uncle Mike’s Food Emporium — where handcrafted bakery classics, wood-fired

pizza, craft cocktails, and community come together under one roof.

A Bakery You Know. In a Way You’ve Never Experienced.

The heart of Uncle Mike’s lives right here. Our Food Emporium bakery features the same scratch-made favorites our family bakery is known for — from world-famous kringle to fresh donuts, breads, cookies, and cakes — baked daily and served alongside coffee and ice cream. Whether you’re grabbing a quick treat or stocking up for the weekend, this is Uncle Mike’s baking at full scale.

Explore the Bakery

From Morning Coffee to Craft Cocktails.

The Food Emporium is where bakery meets kitchen and bar. Our full-service restaurant serves wood-fired pizzas, hearty comfort food, scratch breakfasts, and dishes made to share — all paired with craft cocktails, 16 beers on tap, and a carefully curated wine and whiskey selection. Come for dinner. Stay for dessert. Come back for brunch.

Sunday Brunch, Turned All the Way Up.

Our Sunday Jammin’ Brunch Buffet is a weekly tradition — featuring a full buffet of brunch favorites, bakery desserts, and live music that fills the room. It’s loud (in a good way), it’s joyful, and it’s unlike any brunch you’ll find in the Fox Valley.

There’s Always Something Happening Here.

From pizza buffets to trivia nights, the Food Emporium is built for gathering. Our weekly events give you a reason to come back again and again — whether it’s a casual family dinner or a night out with friends.

Why We Built the Food Emporium.

Uncle Mike’s Food Emporium was created to bring everything we love — baking, cooking, hospitality, and community — into one place.

It’s rooted in our family bakery heritage, but expanded to give Appleton a space to gather, celebrate, and enjoy great food any day of the week.

This isn’t a concept. It’s our kitchen.
