50 Best Bakeries in Detroit

“Any of their bake items are delicious. I love the lunch specials . And yes between my daughter and I we’ve tried them all . We’ve become regulars. Also a shoutout to the employees . Always a pleasure coming here.“

“Best vanilla bean latte 👍🏻“

“Unbelievably good. Obviously the pie is the star of the show. The flavors rotate, but the crust is always deliciously flaky with a perfectly seasoned, not-too-sweet filling. Don't miss out on the savory hand pie either!

Aside from the pies, everything else is also just really good. The other standouts for me are the savory bread pudding, the rosemary cookie, and the lemon poppyseed cookie, but everything behind the glass is phenomenal.

These sisters sure know how to bake. They're closing up their regular operation soon, but I'm optimistic that they'll find a new, more sustainable way to share their delicious baking with the community.“

“A wonderful visit on an adventure day in SW Detroit“

“I went yesterday for a quick snack. Although they were out of a lot of bagel flavors, it gave me the chance to try something I wouldn’t have usually gotten so I got the Asiago bagel with the scallion cream cheese and babyyyyyy, it was SO GOOD! I got their plain cream cheese too in case I didn’t like the scallion one and even that one was good. It didn’t taste like your regular Philadelphia cream cheese. I will be back. Only thing I’d do differently is not get my bagel toasted, it made it kick of tough but other than that, 10/10“

“Cookies are amazing even if they are warm or not still one of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere is dope the wall art is awesome and the customer service is on point! Huge shout out to the owners/operators of this fine establishment and I recommend going here over any other cookies spot in the Detroit Metropolitan Area“

“The building is dated, but the ice cream and donuts are DELICIOUS!!! I went to get the blueberry cheesecake and the strawberry cheesecake. When I got there, I tried the banana pudding ice cream and got that, too. All 3 in one container! Yes, so stop by to get a scoop or two, maybe 3 and donut.“

“My husband surprised me for my birthday and got me an assortment of pastries that I love.

I’m always impressed by the attention to detail in each of Canelles decadent treats. From their beautiful presentation, all the way to balancing out different textures and flavor profiles, this is my favorite place to get treats for special occasions!“

“We absolutely loved this place!
It has a peaceful, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere — perfect for working, writing, reading, or simply enjoying a coffee, tea, or a snack from the menu.

The music is soothing, and the vibe is ideal for focusing and feeling inspired.
Laptops are welcome, and everything is spotless — clean, tidy, and well-organized.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

We tried the espresso and an herbal tea (chamomile and lavender) — both were delicious and thoughtfully prepared. They also serve decaf coffee espresso.

Outside, there’s a small garden with beautiful trees and flowers where the birds come to sing, making the scenary from the window even more delightful.

Inside, the presence of green plants adds even more charm — making the space feel warmer, more vibrant, and inviting.

The space is filled with natural light, has high ceilings, and features modern, visually pleasing decor.

It feels fresh, airy, and energetically clean — truly an inspiring place to be.
I would definitely come back.“

“We are frequent customers of Astoria in Greektown. This has always been a tradition for my children before events downtown. We have never had anything that wasn’t amazing. Our favorites are the baklava and the eclairs but we do our best to try something new on each visit. We love this establishment. It’s Detroit for us — in pastry form.“

“The Christmas Bundle and Yule log were fantastic! We were able to enjoy some items at home and had enough to bring to every family gathering. Our families loved everything! Thank you so much!“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“such a nice place to sit enjoy some pastry and sip on your coffee or tea. Ruth was great friendly. Super clean place too.“

“Always enjoy going to Sheila’s for dessert. Great prices too!“

“Love this spot. Great coffee and the vibe can’t be beat.“

“Estella's Vegan Cusine has the best deserts for any event. We recently was in Detroit for our daughter and so -in-law's baby shower with several vegan attendees. Chantelle made many outstanding deserts: Rasberry-Lemon Bars, small Strawberry Crunch Bundt cakes, Brownies, Cake Pops, and cookies. All of our guests loved the deserts! Please use Estella's for any Vegan Cusine or Desert!“

“This is the best cookie spot in Michigan I drive all the way from the East side just to get these cookies“

“We recently had the pleasure of having Lucki's Cheesecakes provide the desserts for our wedding, and the results were simply amazing! The stunning cheesecakes wowed our guests with their beautiful presentation and delicious flavors. We highly recommend Lucki's Cheesecakes!“

“I was excited to hear that Dutch Girl Donuts was reopening, as many of my customers have the fondest memories of them, so I bought two dozen to bring to a customer on Thursday morning, and it was like it was Christmas morning, and Santa had brought all the favorite presents. What impressed me as much or more than the donuts were the stories shared with me about family memories of walking to Dutch Girl Donuts for a Saturday morning treat. This morning, I wore my Dutch Girl Donuts shirt that I bought yesterday, and people have stopped me to talk about the donuts and how excited they are. One person who hadn’t had one in years reminisced about the blueberry, and when I shared they are using the original recipes, he added Dutch Girl Donuts to his weekend plans. Stop in for your first time and fall in love, or stop in and remember those precious moments of yesteryear.“

“The food was absolutely delicious!! we got the catfish, wings, yams and greens!! we felt like we were at gma's house!! and the sweet potatoe pie???? SUPERB!! We are from Ohio and WILL BE BACK!!“

“Such a fun time! Best pastries ever :)“

“Our favorite place for cheese bread. It's a so delicious 😋 Staff are very friendly and courteous. Great business! ❤“

“I am from Los Angeles and stumbled into a video about this place before my trip to Detroit last week (Sep 23 thru 27). Of course I had to check it out. It did not disappoint. That falafel sandwich was SO good! The falafel itself was soft and green on the inside, perfectly crunchy on the outside. (The cook was nice enough to give me a piece of falafel ahead of time to appreciate what I was getting myself into).The sandwich also had roasted eggplant which was perfectly done, lightly fried cauliflower, French fries, a simple cucumber tomato and lettuce topping with a splash of sauce that was bbq-like that added even more flavor. I’m ready to call it the best sandwich in the entire state of Michigan. We need something like this back in LA. It would be a hit. I highly recommend that sandwich. I also recommend you buy some bread on the way out.

Side note: cards are accepted here (including tap) but be mindful that you may not get a receipt (because mom and pop).

Parking: Gravel parking lot to the side of building“

“you rock!!! After having a horrible experience at Sheila's bakery. I was greeted with respect and treated with respect and received quality service. And great pricing. For my event cake.. I just want to say I was under a lot of stress today in customer service. Took it away, thank you so much..“

“When I tell you their banana pudding(yes they offer no nana pudding for you other folk) is soooo balanced and delicious. Not too sweet and it hits every check mark in my book! The pound cake is the perfect texture and you are so right I’ll be back!“

“There is the best Bakery in the city hands down! If you want a delicious and moist cake this is where you come. I absolutely love them, when you walk in they make you feel like family. People always ask me where I get my cakes from! “TREAT” yourself to Go-Gos❤️“

“Had an amazing class! Great teacher! I’ve been decorating cakes for years and was shown some shortcuts and tips! Great time! Highly recommend“

“I was referred here as this was a childhood favorite of a friend. I was pleasantly surprised so much so that I keep coming back. Everything always tastes fresh, the staff is always nice and the prices are very reasonable! The only drawback for me is that they only take cash and I don’t normally carry cash. But other than that, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Wow !!! So good . I don’t like pumpkin pie and people have told me sweet potato pie is similar, I’ve never tried it before . Was on my way out of the Royal Oak farmers market and saw this stand . Super nice gentleman . Love to support local so I bought a mini pie . Delicious!!! You won’t be disappointed with the taste of this amazing pie ! I will definitely keep my eye out to buy another . Thank you Calvin !!“

“Best Iraqi clotted cream (ghamer) and puff pastry (kahi)!! Omg I haven't had this since 1996! It was delicious. Service is great. The store is very small, crowded with too much merchandise and not organized at all. I wish they would rearrange things in a more organized manner. I will definitely go back for more ghamer and kahi.“

“...what everybody else said plus if you have vegan dietary needs, she makes the best-tasting options I've ever had!“

“Su gran calidad de sus tortillas“

“Best cake ever! We ordered German Chocolate cake which everybody can not make that specific ingredient… Omg! It was so on point… my husband enjoyed every piece of the cake and my kids …. Please by all means potential customers don’t hesitate order asap! You will be satisfied and service is 5star no delay Rosey was ready as soon as we needed the cake and that’s a plus for me! Presentation was everything but the taste is even better!!!!!!!!!“

“We booked with Denetia for a dessert table and a cutting cake for our wedding in September 2024. During our consultation call and tasting, she gave us several options that would meet our needs. The day of the wedding everything was amazing! The dessert table was set up beautifully and everything was delicious. We and several of our guests went up for seconds. Denetia was kind and very easy to work with. We highly recommend Petite Sweets!“

“Oakwood bread is by far the best I've ever had. I've eaten it with every sandwich and every omlette I've made for as long as I can remember. Someone told me that the bakery is closing and I'm heartbroken. I hope its not true.“

“I highly recommend this store, they have the best bread (semmona) and fries and most importantly the best fried and barbecued fish.
What deserves to be mentioned too is the hospitality and kindness of workers especially the cashier and ammo Ali.“

“Sweetheart Bakery made my beautiful wedding cake for my December 2021 wedding. It was so perfect for my special day, they made my wedding cake dreams come true. Thank you!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Al Ghadeer Market & Bakery offers delicious kebabs with fresh Iraqi bread that adds a delightful flavor.
However, I must mention that there is room for improvement in terms of organization. The shelves could be cleaner and more organized to enhance the overall shopping experience. With a bit more attention to detail and tidiness, Al Ghadeer Market & Bakery has the potential to become an even more exceptional destination for those craving authentic flavors.“

“DELICIOUS! I was confident that our wedding cake would be perfection, and Simply Divine Occasions delivered exactly that. Many guests let me know that the cake was the most delicious wedding cake they’d ever had, and I can confirm that they were absolutely correct. The entire process from ordering to cake delivery at our reception location was seamless and handled fully by the Simply Divine team. A beautiful personal service delivered with complete professionalism. Thank you for such a special cake“

“I have been going here for years, simple small Bakery, but, they make your pie by order, so it is always fresh not pre-heated, also the dough he uses is perfect, not thick or thin, just right, this the best place out of all the once I have tried. Highly recommend.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The guy at the counter was friendly and service was quick. However, I wish since this replaced Tim Hortons and is on a college campus, the prices were cheaper. I enjoyed my latte and breakfast sandwich.“
