Knakals Bakery in Culpeper

Best bakery in Virginia donuts are fantastic

This is the best bakery around! The carrot cupcakes and the blueberry cake donuts are to die for! Just thinking of them is making my mouth water. Prices aren't too bad either. Definitely worth checking out

Donuts are superb and great and economical. Baked on premises unlike chain bakeries. Though you have got to arrive early in order to get an apple fritter as they seem to sell out of them quickly.

Great place for pastries and treats of all varieties. A long time staple of Culpeper

Absolutely rude customer service. Went in to ask about ordering a wedding cake or cupcakes and they handed us a book of old photos. They offered no instructions, explanations or concern in regards to ordering a cake. We asked questions and left after 5 minutes. They did not seem interested in selling anything. They gave us prices and stood there as if we were interrupting their day. Only positive is the prices are as low as their customer service skills.

Fantastic bakery. Good food and great prices

Best donuts in town! Some days you got to get there early or they will run out of donuts or you have to try something new. I would suggest trying to get there before noon because every time I got after noon I miss out on what I want or the choices are very limited. If you want a classic donut, go for the plain glazed donut. It will melt in your mouth.

This bakery was recommended by a co-worker, so I was very excited to try the donuts. When I walked in with my 3 year old, the women working were so rude and nasty. My daughter spoke when she walked in, but no one spoke to us. It was our first time at the bakery and there are no menus or any labels, so I asked a few questions about the fillings and flavors of the donuts. The woman acted as though I was irritating her. When I went to pay, I used my phone and the woman was rude in telling me that they didn't accept phone payments even as the payment was going through. She then made it a point to give me advice against using my phone as a payment method. The donuts were ok, but I will never patronize this business again. Had I been by myself, I would have left the donuts on the counter. Customer Service is horrible.

A must stop if you have a sweet tooth. Great cakes, pastries, and donuts!

Best donuts in the area!

what a Culpeper classic. our family has been getting birthday cakes-donuts-donut holes-biscuits- here for many many years. you all are the best. thanks

Best bakery in Virginia.

went here when I was a kid over 45 years ago. The pasterys are still great

These are the best donuts I have ever bought. It's worth driving an hour for breakfast to get them. They sell out really fast, so if you want a good selection it is best to get there before 7:30 a.m. The best ones are boston cream, apple fritter, and blueberry cake. If you don't see the kind you want on display, ask for it and they might just be able to get it out of the back for you.

Great traditional bakery in downtown Culpeper! They sell out of donuts and donut holes decently early in the day because they're so good! Their credit card machine isn't always up and running so cash might be best but this is a staple of Culpeper, VA!

All made fresh. Great prices and wonderful taste. You will not go wrong on stopping by here you will love it.

I’ve overlooked Knackles’ consistently horrible (sometimes down right rude) customer service because they have delicious donuts, cookies and pies.I honestly gave them the benefit of the doubt-Maybe they were having bad days or that’s their bakery’s service esthetic. But when you’re being told that there are NO glazed donuts available (because orders were being filled) only to blatantly sell some to a WHITE MALE customer next to you...Who you’re smiling at and actually conversing with...You can’t help but question said current (and previous) customer service. Especially since this is not the first time I’ve noticed this kind of behavior from the ladies working the counter at Knackles. If you’ve got regulars or certain customers that you bend over backwards for , okay. It’s your business and you can be obvious about who you favor. If that’s not the case, how do you expect to get new regulars if you alienate customers with questionable service?

Family atmosphere. Fresh baked Good every day. Friendly and best tasting bake Good ever. Every time I come to town I have to stop here.

Best bakery around the county, doughnuts are always great.

The employees in this shop are some of the rudest people I have ever met. Very unfriendly! Poor customer service skills! As for the baked goods most are really good! Cheap prices! So I guess you have to take the good with the bad!

They have the best donuts! very reasonable

Old school favorite! Always fantastic. Baked goods the way Grandma intended them to taste. Our favorite bakery in Virginia.

Love our hometown bakery and the people that work there, always a wonderful experience😊

My daughter wanted a lady bug cake for her daughter's first birthday. I found pictures of cakes online, printed them off and took them to the bakery. The cake they made was perfect! Everything I could've hoped for and delicious too!! Thank you!!

Great place as always. Find everything I need there. If not just ordered and it done. The people are so friendly

One of the best bakeries in Virginia! Cant beat the doughnts!

Best donuts in town!!!

This is Culpeper's favorite bakery. They've been open since around 1935. Definitely worth getting donuts and cakes. I only give it a 4 because the store needs a big update and decor to make it more welcoming.

Very rude people working there the old woman in there acted like I inconvenienced her because I wanted to order dounuts. Never again...wish I could get ahold of the owner and tell them they won’t keep business like that. I don’t believe any of the reviews saying they are nice and pleasant I call bs.

Wonderful pastries and donuts!

Knakal's has the best applesauce donuts and the best caramel cake on Earth! They also made my daughter's wedding cake and it was delicious!

FANTASTIC! Best word I can use to describe their cakes and donuts. Takes me back to my childhood. It's hard to drive by without stopping in. Love this place!!!

They are so friendly and the baked goods are so delicious

Rude and racist. My card was “declined” today after waiting 3 minutes for it to process...Which is odd because I have overdraft protection AND I checked the app while standing at the counter. Because well fraud happens. I asked her if I could swipe it, instead of using the chip. She repeated “no, because it was declined”. No problem lady, I used my other bank card and left. I will never be back there again. Not worth the terrible customer service. I pulled up to the shell gas station 10 minutes later and the first card worked. And it worked later at Walgreens. Instead of just being patient and trying again the woman just wanted to be loud and obnoxious. It was obviously a computer issue.

I love the small town charm of this bakery. It is always busy and they have the best donuts in Town. A must see in Culpeper!

Friendly customer service with a smile and personal touch. Fresh and delicious pastries, pies, cakes, cookies and bread.

Knakal's Bakery is the best bakery for miles. The staff really make you feel like your part of their family. Walking down the street a block from the store you can still smell the delicious bread and donuts they make fresh everyday. I love my sweets, but I'm also very aware of quality food. These baked goods are of the highest caliber which is why people drive hours to get a baker's dozen. I highly recommend everyone visit this historical landmark and slice of heaven if they haven't already

Best cake ever. Wonderful homemade pastries.

First time there! Wonderful!

Cute bakery in historic downtown Culpeper features amazing homemade eclairs, donuts, cake, cookies and more. Try a maple glazed donut. Trust me. It's well worth the calories.

I’ve been coming here ever since I was in preschool, maybe even longer. My favorites are donut holes, FOR SURE, glazed donuts, blueberry donuts, chocolate frosted donuts, spice bars, and carrot cake. Really, you can’t go wrong with anything here. It’s all to die for. No one compares to Knakal’s, AT ALL. They are one of a kind and will forever be my favorite bakery.

Didn't seem to want our business. So we took it elsewhere. Didnt taste the food, so I cannot truthfully comment on the quality.

Love the amazing baked goodies, especially the REAL chocolate eclair a topped with decadent chocolate fudge and filled with homemade custard and their fudge nut bars! Their biz marks and apple fritters are usually the first to sell out as they are definitely a fan favorite so make sure to get there early or reserve a dozen or two. The associates are really just amazing with my daughter, son and I as we frequent this bakery, but I have herd of a lack of zeal with others.

I'll be honest, probably the best donuts around, but the staff working there are some of the rudest I've ever come across. They act like they hate working there and take it out on the customer.

The best bakery in town.The lady's were very nice and helpful.Ill go back.

Best donuts around Period. Friendly staff and fair priced bakery

Don't let the faded signs mislead you, this is a fine little bakery selling a number of different baked goods at good prices. The interior is heaven for those with a sweet tooth, except maybe when the need to choose which one to take home arises. Major complaint, the bakery does not sell bread.

It was ok, I bought 3 cookies, 2 CC & 1 pecan sandie. I have tried other bakery dishes from there in the past. I think its overrated.

They have best donuts
