Kruta Bakery

Everyone should steer clear of this place; that way I won't have to wait in line or experience the crushing depression that comes if they run out of lemon bars. Seriously, though - wonderful staff (very patient with me as I struggled with the impulse to buy every item in sight), very clean inside and out, and the from-scratch goods they produce restore my faith in humanity. I've thought of buying some items for friends and family, but deep down I know the stuff wouldn't even make it out of my truck, much less into someone else's hands. They also offer a 10% military discount, for which I'm very grateful. Highly highly recommend; the artists in that kitchen definitely understand the concept that food = love.

My son and his wife took us here for breakfast while we were in town visiting. The crowd inside the door was a testament to the flavorful selection of freshly made bakery products. We bought a variety of items, Angel Cream Donut, Lemon Bar, Cream Puff, Almond Bearclaw, Mini Cherry Strudel, Brownies, Chocolate Chip Cookies and three Cream Horns. Everything was delicious and didn’t last long as evidenced by the photo. If you live in or near Collinsville, IL or are passing through, I strongly recommend you go to Kruta Bakery. We will definitely be back.

The ultimate one stop shop for donughts, cakes, strudels - oh my! I’ve been going to Kruta’s ever since I was a little girl & it’s the first place I stop whenever I’m back in town visiting. The fudgies are likely one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Fast service & incredibly sweet staff!

Just recently had their donuts and pastries for the first time and it was delicious! Was told they make them fresh everyday and start at 1am.

Was gifted doughnuts from a family at a local hospital. First time trying and very impressed. Doughnuts melt in your mouth. Waiting for my next day off to take a trip to Collinsville.
