50 Best Bakeries in Detroit

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

“Best vanilla bean latte 👍🏻“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about JP Makes and Bakes. The pastries are delicious. The ube brownies are amazing. And the staff is always so kind and helpful. If you have not tried Filipino pastries, now is the time to change that.“

“Went on a sat mid day. We're from Ohio and wanted some baked cookies and saw a tiktok and gave them a try. Service we great felt like home there. Cookies were delicious! I tried sugar cookie, snickerdoodle, peanut butter and chocolate chip. All amazing and wish I got more to take back home with me. I'll be back for more!“

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

“Hi there name is Sarah Swartz i want my sister Emma and merrissa Hoffman come with me sweet potato sensatlons my favorite place sometime go to please don't forget“

“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.“

“My first time was Thursday and I loved every bite!! OMG! I'm going back onday for a Hershey Butter Pecan Shake!!!! OMG! The donuts were fresh and the I got Coffee too! Yum!!! Oh I also tried a chocolate chip cookie it was good! Anyway, go and check them out. There short in staff but the lady working, she handled that line with ease and without us getting frustrated. 10stars for Miss Ma'am at the register 💪🏾 Great Spot... I recommend“

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

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

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

“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..“

“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!“

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

“Great service and good coffee!
I had their Maple Shakerato and a brownie. The drink had the perfect level of sweetness once stirred, and the brownie was soft with rich chocolate chunks, really satisfying. The ambience was also great; the indoor seating area had a calm, cozy vibe. Most people were working or studying, so it wasn't too loud, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done.“

“Edit 10/26/25- I have gone in a couple times this year, most pastries are good still but I have run into a few that are not so good. The lemon poppyseed muffins was absolutely terrible, so dry and flavorless. The brownies are just to dense to enjoy.
The Custard torte cake was good, nice and light. I also really love the chocolate tort cake.
Great pastries and desserts. The staff is kind and helpful. Not a fan of them allowing beggers in the bakery to harass patrons.“

“O m Godness the Sangak bread is incredibly delicious. It’s so different and you can tell that the sourdough is actual sourdough, if you know what I mean.
We came late in the day so not much else was available, but we will be back!“

“Thank you very much for the Delicious cake you provided for my brother in laws birthday. Fantastic job!!!“

“I’ve been going to this bakery for 35 years the best bakery in the whole world I promise you it taste the same since I was five years old nothing has changed. Consistency is key. In the best prices on the bakery that use all real ingredients low pricing on real ingredient these days are rare to come by. They’ve been open for over 60 years the best bakery and all of Detroit let alone the world to me.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Chef Denetia did the desserts for my wedding. They were delicious as they were stunning. We did the chocolate framboise cupcake, banana crunch cupcake, passion fruit cupcake, mixed fruit tart, and the orange and rose shortbread. When you go in for a taste test, Chef Denetia will give you the more popular/basic flavors. I HIGHLY recommend you request to try the more unique treats because that is where she truly shines. My only complaint is that she was difficult to get in touch with. And I couldn’t finalize the menu until the week before my wedding because I was waiting on her to make me a few samples she had promised me. That being said, the samples were worth it!!!!“

“These are absolute best Sweet Potato pies I’ve ever tasted you know what your doing thank you Uncle Calvin I appreciate your comment to cleanliness and excellence! Tay“

“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❤️“

“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!“

“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!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.“

“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!“

“Every woman deserves a good cake. 😊“

“Oldest oven in the state 120 years pumping out quality products like no other, find the fine bread products all over metropolitan Detroit, go into the front of bakery for many great fresh deals all boxed. Kinda hard to find well worth the trip. Get that Famous Rye bread and breadsticks too. Save a little dough right at the Famous Bakery“

“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“

“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.“

“My favorite Greek Pita bread! Couldn't find it for a few months then my Kroger restocked.. Bought 15 packets and put them in the freezer.. Now I know where they are located and will make sure to drive to their store if I can't find them locally.“

“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.“

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

“I absoultely love her. They do a wonderful job everytime. No mistakes! They are very creative and crafty. She can make anything you want.“

“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.“

“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.“
