19 Best Bakeries near Dexter

“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! ✨“

“I was gifted 2 slices of cheesecake today, plain with strawberry topping and pumpkin. At first glance I said this looks like mine! it smelled so good too. I had high hopes about this cake. I was not disappointed, it actually takes better than my home made. so creamy and not quite as heavy. Good work 24th Cheesecakerie.“

“Love this labor of love place. We’ve been going since they were just pop-ups and loved everything we’ve tried. The breakfast galette is particularly addicting. Die hard fans for keeps.Parking: The lot is small on a tough and busy corner. But typically there is a spot open!“

“Everything we've tried from the very talented crew here has been fantastic, including bread (country levain is delicious and I don't even like sourdough), ginger molasses cookies, salads with edible flowers, herbed goat cheese. They've built up my trust and I am ready to go where they lead me next.“

“I can’t thank you, Tasty Bakery, enough for coming to the rescue! I called yesterday in search of a dairy free/gluten free birthday cake for myself for today. I knew the chances were slim given how short notice it was but Tasty so graciously said they could make one for me! So so very kind of them and WOW the cake tastes so incredible! I can’t thank Tasty enough for making my birthday.“

“Fresh & fantastic donuts!! Best around. Got to get there early enough before they run out! And, I learned you can order a day or two in advance if you know you've got a big order. I've done it for work, a party, and for a work crew at a construction project.“

“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.“

“Dear Kay:I thought I had written in the code for a free piece of chocolate cake on your birthday. I picked up my order today and hoped to see this piece of cake. Can I still get one? My birthday is tomorrow. I can pick it up if needs be. Thanks@“

“If you've never had a cinnamon roll from this place, then you're missing out! I ordered a CYO with chocolate frosting topped with strawberries and blueberries. This was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. The young lady behind the counter was very kind when answering my questions about the Dole whip and even offered me a sample. I also sampled the cookie dough. Everything was top notch!Dietary restrictions: Dole whip is dairy free. It's like a sorbet.“

“Bennett is the best! We were looking for somewhere local that made mango sago for a surprise for one of our kids, and we figured out that Marupo's Egg Tarts used to sell the dish. When we explained our idea, Bennett said he would make a special batch just for our family! We picked it up yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. All of their other treats look great too. So happy to have found this local business!“

“We used Gwen for our wedding cake and couldn't be happier! Gwen made the process easy from start to finish - we were able to do a cake tasting with her and choose our design together. Her flavors are absolutely delicious - especially the strawberries and cream (our favorite). She took incredible care delivering our cake on the big day and even placed the flowers from our florist on the cake. Couldn't recommend Gwen more!“

“This was my first time visiting Crumbl cookie, and I really enjoyed myself. The cookies were very good. It smells fresh it was clean and the customer service was excellent. Today was my daughter’s birthday and this is one of the places she wanted to go. Very beautiful experience would recommend anyone to go.“

“I ordered one of her bouquets for a special birthday. I was very pleased with the presentation--her attention to detail was fantastic. Everyone was amazed at her work and chose their favorite flower and color combination. The cupcakes tasted great!!!“

“We have been coming here for years and the cookies never fail us!! We have bought their cookie cakes which are always a treat at parties. Mrs. Field's cookies are always freshly baked and never stale. Brought our little toddler with us today and she loves the cookies!! She asked for more this evening before going to bed. It looks like we may have to go back and get more tomorrow!!“

“Located in a a small industrial sub in southern Ann Arbor, Zingerman's has 3 separate adjacent premises housing a bake shop & retail, soft cheese manufacturing & retail, and a candy shop (which I did not visit). Appealing to our emotions is amongst Z's specialties. The bake shop is beautifully presented selling 20 (approx) different kinds of bread made from starter yeast (more time consuming, old fashioned, high quality), bags of cookies, croissants, muffins and other treats. There are other high quality bakeries in other towns manufacturing high quality breads, however, Zingerman's has a splendid selection. The cheese shop visit was interesting, yet it is there is where the trance of the magic Z-spell was broken. After buying the most highly recommended cheese we learned that it's imported, not made by Zingerman's (they only make soft spreadable cheeses). This could and should have been disclosed, far more apparently (if there is fine print somewhere). Some other high quality retailers sell even deeper selections of quality cheese. All representatives were polite and courteous. Some other reviewers have debated if Z's higher pricing and quality are commensurate. This first visit and purchases was not conclusive in discerning the overall value proposition for me.“

“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.“

“Ambiance Food Service We had popped in today because we thought today was still part of Restaurant Week in Ann Arbor. Sadly, we missed the special today, but bonus for us was that we weren't limited to 2 macarons. We tried the following flavors along with the sipping chocolate. Lots of tasty flavors. Yummy, in order of my favorites -Nutella -peaches and cream -Yumberry -chocolate -lemon Ok: -champagne -cookies and cream -cookie dough The atmosphere is delightfully fresh. I loved the glass chandeliers, the fresh flowers on the tables, and the white interior. I did ask the advice about the flavors, and the woman at the counter did not steer me wrong. Pricing is high, but this place is worth the treat every now and then. I'll be back!!“

“Took my wife here for the first time yesterday and we really enjoyed the atmosphere when we entered. You grab your own tray and tongs and then are able to walk through and check out all the pastry selections. We really liked that because we didn’t feel rushed to decide with it being our first time there and not really looking at their menu beforehand. Yes they may be on the pricier side, but for the fresh quality and ingredients we understood. We really enjoyed most of what we had, and the strawberries and cream croissant along with the garlic cheese bread really stuck out to us. Will be happy to make a trip back!“

“This cake was everything I could have hoped for and more! The custom signature vintage cake was the perfect option to help me celebrate a golden birthday! This cake was every bit as delicious as it was beautiful! I can not recommend Sweet Heather Anne enough! The cherry on top of this experience was how lovely the staff were when I went to pick up the cake! Thanks again for everything“
