The Kringle Spirit Has a New Home in Buchanan!

Oct 1, 2025by Nathan Vande Walle

On Monday, September 22nd, something truly special happened—Uncle Mike’s Kringle Shoppe officially opened its doors in Buchanan! 🎉

For years, we’ve been sharing our award-winning kringle, handcrafted with love and tradition, across Northeast Wisconsin. But there’s always been a dream bubbling behind the scenes—to create a dedicated space where kringle could truly shine on its own. A place built just for celebrating Wisconsin’s official state pastry in all its flaky, buttery, joy-filled glory. That dream came to life the moment our doors opened in Buchanan.


A Place Just for Kringle Lovers

Walking into the new shoppe feels a little different—there’s a sense of magic in the air. Every detail, from the warm, welcoming design to the smell of fresh-baked kringle coming out of the ovens, was crafted with one goal in mind: to make Buchanan the home base of kringle happiness.

And it’s not just about the kringle (though of course, that’s the star of the show). The new shoppe also features ice cream, coffee, and other sweet treats that pair perfectly with your favorite flavor. It’s the kind of place where families stop in after school, neighbors catch up over coffee, and visitors get their very first taste of what makes kringle so beloved in Wisconsin.


Opening Day Magic

The outpouring of support from the community has been incredible. On opening day, we saw smiles, we heard laughter, and we watched kids press their noses up to the glass to get the first look at the rows of glistening kringles. People lined up to grab their favorite flavors—from Sea Salt Caramel Pecan to Caramel Apple—and to try something new.

We’re humbled, grateful, and more excited than ever to keep baking up joy right here in Buchanan.


Why Buchanan?

Choosing Buchanan was no accident. This community has heart, warmth, and a love for tradition—the same qualities that inspire every kringle we make. We knew it was the perfect place to plant the flag for our Kringle Shoppe and create a gathering space that feels like home for both longtime Uncle Mike’s fans and first-time visitors.


The Journey Continues

September 22nd was just the beginning. From seasonal kringle flavors to cozy holiday celebrations, this shoppe will be alive with excitement all year long. Think of it as your neighborhood hub for flaky pastry, hot coffee, and the kind of moments that bring people together.

So, to everyone who joined us on day one—thank you. And to those who haven’t yet made the trip, we can’t wait to welcome you soon. Come hungry, bring a friend, and leave with a little piece of Wisconsin tradition in your hands.

Because at Uncle Mike’s Kringle Shoppe, every day is worth celebrating with kringle.


Here’s to Buchanan, here’s to kringle, and here’s to the sweet memories we’ll create together!
