Sweet Connections and Signature Cheesecake: Meet Kimberly Lennartz of Whistle Stop Bakery

Nestled in the heart of town, Whistle Stop Bakery has quickly become a favorite for locals looking to satisfy their sweet tooth in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Since opening in 2025, owner Kimberly Lennartz has been serving up more than just desserts—she’s built a space where the community can connect, unwind, and enjoy the little things in life.

The Story Behind the Sweets
Before opening the bakery, Kimberly spent years working in law enforcement. Now, instead of citations, she’s serving smiles—and she couldn’t be happier. Her days are filled with warm conversations, freshly brewed coffee, and the joy of baking treats that brighten people’s days. One of her favorite parts of owning Whistle Stop? The opportunity to connect with customers, support local causes, and be an active part of the community she loves.

Oh—and she has six dogs. Yes, six. Life is never boring in Kimberly’s world.

Customer Favorite: Crème Brûlée Cheesecake
Ask anyone who’s visited, and they’ll tell you the same thing—you have to try the crème brûlée cheesecake. It’s creamy, dreamy, and topped with that signature caramelized sugar crunch that keeps people coming back for more. It’s easily the best-seller and a true standout on the menu.
