Customer Reviews

Saw them on the Facebook page Iowa Road Trip and decided to give them a try. - Doughnuts - $10/half dozen: We bought Long Johns. One was custard filled, two or three were filled with sweet white cream, and two or three were regular. They were better quality than you typically find elsewhere. We also stopped for their famous crescents, but they were out. - Service: Quick and to the point. - Atmosphere: It was a cheerful and bright setting with simple seating for at least four. - Conclusion: I?d recomm

Ordered a cake for my husband and mother in laws birthday after my local bakery closed and I think it may have been fate! The service was amazing and the cake was even better. Everyone commented on how the cake was perfectly moist and the icing had great flavor without being overly sweet. Definitely will be using Tiffiny's Tipton Bakery for all my cake needs in the future!

These women are wonderful! I'm a creature of habit, and a couple of the women know my order. This makes one feel SO special. Prices are good, and the treats are exceptional

A hidden treasure located in Tipton! The bakery case is filled with a variety of yummy donuts, frosted cinnamon rolls, jelly filled Bismarcks, long John?s filled with Bavarian cream, apple fritters, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, cream puffs and their famous Crescent Rolls!

If you want the freshest, tastiest donuts then come here. You won't regret buying a dozen. My personal favorite is the cinnamon twist!

My mother in law brought over a filled donut from here and it was the best thing I have ever had!

The bakery is fantastic. They personally made me donuts that I requested whiIe I waited. Donuts and long John's were the best I ever ate. Great service and reasonably priced.

Co-worker recommended we stop as we are camping near Tipton. Glad we did! Great donuts!

Love the Crescents!! Such a cute shop!! Pastries are always delicious!

I called my order in on Tuesday. Picked it up on Thursday! It was ready at 11:00 when I walked thru the door! Plus I bought some buns! Very clean, friendly staff and yummy, yummy crescents, fried cinnamon, donuts and cream puffs! Thank you!

The pastries are great I recommend to go there You will definitely go back again The people are friendly and nice And very helpful

The BEST donuts I?ve had by far! They also have huge cinnamon rolls and apple fritters, and awesome croissants. So lucky to have this as my local bakery, but I would travel for these yummy treats.

Fantastic! Great selection. Fresh products. Easy to order ahead and receive exactly what you order!

My daughter and I went to a funeral in Clarence. We decided to walk around the square. We were walking down the sidewalk when we smelled the most delicious scent. We finished our walk and had to go to the bakery. The selection was limited because it was toward the end of their business day, but what they had looked fabulously yummy. We chose the longjohns and fruit sticks. My daughter loved the oreo longjohn. She couldn't wait to eat it. She loved it. The rest of the kids enjoy their longjohns too. The frui

It's ok. The baking is good but WAAAAYYY too much sugar is used. Everything is overly sweet. Don't get me wrong, I like sugary sweets but when you can feel the grains of sugar in a cookie, it's too much. It seems weird to say that the donuts are too sugary but they are. It's so much that I get a stomachache after eating even just a glazed donut. I don't know if someone is using a recipe they wrote but I feel like they need to try a different recipe and note the level of sugar difference.

Tiffiny made our wedding cake and cupcakes and it was all amazing! So many guests complimented the cupcakes and we went through them fast! Great work, great taste, great people!

Tiffanys are best donuts! I've had donuts from USA coast to coast. With so many other companies cheapening up their donuts, it's so nice to see some superbly made and tasting donuts. The way donuts should be made!!

Blueberry donut, good. Crescent, great. But the buns that are made at the perfect temperature to get the most breathtaking golden brown, on top of the fluffiest, and perfectly flaky buns are the best thing ever.

When I came in this morning I was excited to check your store out because I was a fan favorite of the old bakery. But you didn't have any cresents, so I got a long John almost done with my long John went in for a bite an it was like there was wax paper in between the icing an the dounut so I wrapped it up an thru it away. I'll just go up to family foods an get them when I'm in town from now on.

The dough of the donuts are soft and flavorful. The fillings in the long johns are icing, not cream. Clean bakery. Nice lady waiting on customers.

Nice bakery with great doughnuts

Tiffiny's Tipton Bakery is always requested whenever there is a special celebratory event taking place, everyone loves the donuts from the Tipton Bakery!

Although the donuts are great, the customer service is lacking. Super disappointed, have to find a new place with better manners, especially when they are the ones that messed up on an order! Miss the old owners!

Always delicious baked goods. Staff is friendly and has patience. Keep it up.

Loved this sweet location. First time there but now has become my favorite place to get sweet things. I wanted to try everything but I maybe little by little I will :)

Best bakery around. Great hometown atmosphere and very friendly staff. If you have a sweet tooth you might be in trouble because everything is to die for!

Lovely little bakery, worth a side trip from I-80. Home made donuts, pastries, made-to-order cakes, and a few booths to enjoy some coffee.

This is a fantastic bakery. Every item is fresh baked and very, very good. My favorite is the crescent which is a speciality of Tiffiny's.

Visiting for Christmas and told i needed to check out the goods here! Tried 5 different doughnuts and the crescents... OMG! Soooo good!!!

Rude staff, the donuts were ok but not worth driving out of your way for if you aren't local. Would not recommend.

Great pastries in a nice small town bakery. The apple turnovers and raspberry bismarks were terrific.

Always top quality bakery and service!
