One of the best places for donuts in Detroit! Perfect amount of crunch on the outside and soft on the inside with balanced sweetness. Go early in the morning, you won't regret it!

Cheap baked goods, fresh coffee, friendly service. It’s no frills, cash only, but a great little old school bakery.

With the devastating closure of my beloved Dutch Girl Donuts, National Bakery has some pretty big wooden clogs to fill and it's done so admirably even if it never will have quite the same iconic status in my mind. (Dutch Girl is supposed to reopen at some still undetermined point with the original recipes being passed down along with the building so if it rises like a phoenix maintaining its previously exemplary standards then consider this review a 4.5 so Dutch Girl maintains its status as Top Dog.) The outside of the building is pretty bare bones but they get automatic respect for holding it down on a desolate commercial strip lacking any other businesses on one of Detroit's mile-and-a-half roads, E. State Fair. Hand painted Plain blue block letters announce the name of the business along with the 5am - 5pm hours. The word NATIONAL is on separate white board affixed to the facade of the building so it originally said simply BAKERY and there's more space between the E and N of OPEN than between the N and the 5 that begins their hours. A coffee cup accompaniment, the only graphic is a simple outline. A more complete filled in coffee cup graces a diagonal wall on the corner of the building that covers where a doorway used to be. It reads HOT CUP COFFEE. I don't know why Yelp has National Bakery listed in Highland Park, a "suburb" surrounded entirely by Detroit, abutted kitty corner by Hamtramck, which is in the exact same situation. National Bakery is in Detroit proper, a whole mile and half north of the Highland Park border and east of it as well. If you're driving around near any of the cities you can instantly tell which one you're in by the street signs. Detroit's are green with white letters and Highland Park and Hamtramck have blue signs with white letters. But that's neither here nor there... My maiden voyage to National Bakery, only undertaken once Dutch Girl had shuttered, was a bit rough. The two ladies in back were having a loud argument and I only got the attention of the one by tapping my key on the glass counter. Fortunately, in several visits since there hasn't been a repeat of anything like that. It's $4.80 for a half dozen donuts and just shy of ten bucks for a dozen. They're pretty delicious, even if they don't practically melt in your mouth like Dutch Girls used to. (I had a co-worker tell me once that he thought Dutch Girl Donuts were too soft which I disagree with but I have to respect. I think National Bakery would probably meet his standard, though.) I've never tried anything but the donuts here. The coffee looks good but coffee has been upsetting my stomach lately so I've basically cut it out. They do have a fridge with sodas and juices. There's also other baked goods like cupcakes and cookies. This is a true old school mom and pop hole in the wall and though it might not have the cool branding and quite as much charm as Dutch Girl it's pretty awesome on its own. Honestly, it's maybe unfair of me to try to hold National Bakery to that standard but I just can't help myself. Yelp isn't known for being the most objective place after all.
Love this place always awesome time good old fashioned bakery the staff is wonderful and always have the freshest donuts around

I am a long time , drive out of my way customer. Our family loves their bread and donuts. Personally I once knew the owners in a work connection and went above and beyond, over my shift time to assure their comfort and support. They used to remember me. Today I wanted to order cupcakes for my grandsons birthday. Plus add on additional goodies. They would not let me order over the phone. I know that they are a cash business; one time last year I had to drive all the way home and go back because I was short on cash and did not know the policy at that time! Anyways, I told them how extremely busy we are and cannot make it down just to order. Please make the cupcakes I begged. I will be there early Saturday to pick up. I was given a rude response and hung up on. Go out of your way for people and this is the trust and kindness given back. Will have to move on to another bakery. What a shame.
