4 Best Bakeries near Chelsea

“A hidden gem that's worth the drive! We have known about this place for a long time but never made the trek and now we are kicking ourselves for waiting so long. We bought a little of everything, and it was all fantastic! The almond croissant, the almond bar, and sourdough bread were highlights. We bought a couple of frozen chicken pot pies to have for dinner later. We were lucky that while we were there they were roasting garlic in the ovens for (I think) their garlic cheddar bread, and it smelled delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful, and we can't wait to be back! Do yourself a favor and make a trip to get something fresh, but their products are also available at Arbor Farms Market, and other locations around SE Michigan.“

“Everything I have gotten here has been heavenly. Doughnuts are so delicious but what really brings me back are the soft pretzels. If I lived in walking distance I would be 700 pounds! Even when my husband gets a big thing of doughnuts to share and I get stuck with a random doughnut that’s not what I would have picked it was still the highlight of my tastebud’s day. For my birthday last summer we bought a big box of pretzels to share at our big family party. They were a hit and most likely a staple for my next birthday. I am no longer a faithful lady to Dunkin.“

“I really enjoy their ham and cheese pretzel rolls and their chocolate brownies. Only complaint is that they are in very limited supply. Amazing whenever they have them, get them!Kid-friendliness: Cute atmosphere. The display cases are great for children to see and the people serving you have always accommodated and grab the exact one he points to instead of the closest one. Always very kind.“

“Let me tell you, at Dexter Bakery, they don't just bake pastries, they bake pure joy! I mean, have you ever tried a birthday cake donut? It's like a confetti parade in your mouth, with fluffy cake batter dancing with sweet frosting swirls. Forget boring birthday candles, this donut is the party!Now, here's a heads up: they're a bit old-fashioned and prefer cash. But fear not, plastic pals! They still accept credit cards with a smile (and maybe a wink ). Just be warned, there might be a sprinkle-sized fee attached.Speaking of sprinkles, the earlier you arrive, the bigger the sprinkle celebration! Those glazed donuts and gooey cinnamon rolls tend to disappear faster than a magician's rabbit. So, if you want first dibs on the sugary goodness, set your alarm early and get ready to indulge. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!Overall, Dexter Bakery is a delightful hidden gem, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. Just remember, cash is king (or queen!), and the early bird gets the donut (especially the birthday cake one ). Go forth and sprinkle your day with joy! ✨“
