Bob’s Food Tour Podcast – Stop #2

Rocket Baby Bakery | May 1 | 12 people

This episode of the Bob’s Food Tour podcast captures Stop #2 of our Milwaukee food adventure: Rocket Baby Bakery.

After kicking things off at Cranky Al’s (Stop #1), the group of 12 heads to Rocket Baby Bakery for a completely different—but equally essential—experience. If Cranky Al’s was the sugar-fueled warm-up, Rocket Baby is the craft, the patience, and the payoff.

Rocket Baby is known for its small-batch baking, naturally leavened breads, pastries, and the kind of detail that makes you slow down and pay attention. This stop highlights the contrast in the tour: donuts to bread, instant joy to slow fermentation, classic indulgence to artisan process.

In this podcast episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why Rocket Baby Bakery earned its place as Stop #2
• What makes their bread and pastries special
• How the shift from donuts to bread changes the rhythm of the tour
• Group reactions, favorites, and the “this is dangerous” moments

This episode continues the story of Bob’s Food Tour—twelve people, one van, and a carefully planned progression of flavors—moving us from playful beginnings toward deeper appreciation of Milwaukee’s food craftsmanship.

Stop #2 sets the tone for what this tour is really about: not just eating, but noticing.
