Bakeries near Independence

“These are some of the best cookies and small baked goods I've had since I stopped baking myself! I have not tasted anything yet that I wasn't an immediate fan of, so much so that I have to pace myself to eating just one or two a day instead of my entire purchase when I get home. The scones are the most moist and tasty I've ever had (even the jalapeno, which I didn't think I'd like). The mini-banana breads are a delight, and the cookies (especially the Snickerdoodles) just take me right back to my mother's/aunt's/and my own baking! Just a wonderful shop!“

“Love these donuts! I'll have to take pics next time! They have this pineapple upside down muffin, it's to die for! We always get a variety! They have so many to choose from but it's definitely best to get there earlier in the day, so you can have a wider selection.“

“Everything! lol! I ordered the sourdough sandwich bread, bagels, pumpkin spice and blueberry muffins, the oatmeal raisin and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and they were all great! I will definitely be ordering in the future! Thank you, Bethany! You have an awesome business! ❤️“

“First time trying these amazing cookies. I enjoyed a few of them. The only disappointing part is there are some weeks I cannot have any of them (allergies) . Wish we could spend a little bit more and order any of them. This waiting is messing with me. If you have tried these you should go directly there. “

“Perfect service and great food! Even the Bloody Mary he had was good. Had a breakfast sandwich on their house baked bread with a bowl of berries. Great choices on the menu. My ice tea was never empty nor was his coffee. Definitely will return despite being a bit far for us. Can't wait for weather to warm to sit on the patio!“

“They did our daughters first birthday cakes - 1 for guests and 1 smash cake. Not only were the decorations better than what we imagined but the cake was delicious. My guests were asking to take some home. The customer service was top notch as well. We won’t go anywhere else for cakes!“

“[please "like" if this is helpful]Cute neighborhood bodega. Not a huge selection, but you can get many Mexican American basics, including spices. They also have a restaurant menu. The most interesting to me was their Tes Leches cake -- wow! I can't wait to try it. It looks very special. The folks at the counter are friendly, and add a welcoming local vibe.“

“probably the best bakery I've ever been to the donuts and baked goods are so amazing I just left there and had to leave a review because wow this place is a must try. I go here almost everyday and will continue to because of how welcome they make you feel but also because of there amazing bakery and there 100 percent authentic Mexican food“

“I went here on a Sunday morning with a gal pal. We both enjoyed our mocha lattes. I had one made with regular milk, no whipped cream. She got one with skim milk and whipped cream. The cinnamon bagel with cream cheese was pretty good, too. The service was good. However, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're in a hurry.“

“We got Amy Cakes cupcakes for our wedding last August and couldn’t be happier! The cupcakes were ready to pick up day of and were delicious. We ordered some gluten free cupcakes as well which received high reviews from the people who ate them. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience at Amy Cakes.“

“I've lived in LO my entire life but haven't been here since they opened... maybe because I wasn't a fan of coffee back then lol! Went here this weekend to spend some time with a friend and saw several other people that I know, so it's a hangout loved by friends! So cozy and inviting, with quick, friendly and earnest service. Oh... and the coffee and scone were great too!“

“So far I have been here twice both times the quality was consistent. Place was spotless and he was friendly. I got a dozen strawberry crunch cupcakes and I have tried the lemon strawberry cupcakes as well. He is very professional with his customers. Hands down one of the best black owned businesses in the area“

“Great family place forsure. One thing I was absolutely surprised about was they had a separate gluten free menu. So for all of you that have Celiac like me, you do not have to worry as the variety in the menu is quite large compared to a lot of other establishments. Service was good, food was great, and the atmosphere felt like home in a way. Don't really know how to explain that one, but was just a feeling. I've gone by this place so so many times over the years and this was my first time here....and enjoyed it a lot. So make sure you stop by one of their Metro locations and feast.Vegetarian options: A lot of Italian dishes are vegetarian and meat is optional if you are not into certain animals or any at allDietary restrictions: They have a gluten free menu which a lot of places don't have“

“Stopped in today for the first time to try some bagels and they were amazing! My co workers and I all enjoyed them. We had a half dozen of plain, salt, everything, and cheddar everything bagels (my favorite) They were fresh, the selection was great, and the taste was incredible! The customer service was also wonderful. I can’t wait to try more items off of their menu.“

“YATES has the BEST Hard-Ice-Cream in Lake Orion, my family is lucky to be able to bike-ride here to burn those calories. We LOVE the coffee & donuts, cider, many unique food items honey, pretzels, jams. HINT: Ask for a Harry Potter BUTTERBEER shake... no, its not as good as the ones at Universal but wowzer,,, its good enough to fill your craving until your next trip to FL“

“We had the Magic Brownie Box make a ‘trash bash’ cake for our son’s 3rd birthday & it was perfect! They also created garbage can cake pops for us, which were perfect. Our family couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake itself was too!“

“I drive 20 miles just for their pies! They have a great selection, whole pies or by the slice. They also have hand pies! Last time I got coconut cream, strawberry/rhubarb, keylime. All were delicious! If you want pie, this is the place! The staff are very friendly as well.“

“April's Famous Bakes recently made our wedding cakes and we have heard nothing but rave reviews over them! We brought to-go boxes for people to take with and all 8 of our cakes were completely cleared out! I have heard amazing things about specifically the carrot cake and the chocolate cake!Even beyond cakes, you should see April where you can! Whether it is her dessert bar in Waterford, out in Holly, or the Oakland County Farmer's Market, everything is amazing. Special shout out to the peanut butter cookies!“

“My family loves this place so I had to try it. The strawberry bagel bomb was delicious, the sausage egg and cheese bomb was very good. I tried their blueberry scone and while it did taste good I do not understand how it can be called a scone. It was more like a very soft blueberry biscuit. The bubble tea was overly sweet and not at all traditional bubble tea (I wasn’t expecting it to be but it was no where near as good as actual boba). The ambiance was amazing. My sister loves their hot chocolate, I didn’t try it. Their coffee with cream was a three out of five.“

“So impressed with Lakes Cakes ! Wonderful communication, made it so easy and stress free , everything was very organized and done over the phone or email ! Beautiful cake and dessert trays , great price , everything tasted wonderful ! We received many compliments on the mini pastries and the cake ! Thank you Heidi and Lakes Cakes ! Highly recommend .“

“Colleen and her staff do an amazing job at cakes. I've ordered cakes from all over the city over the years and hers by far is the most beautiful and the most delicious! She has done my wedding cake, garden parties, Spa Events, and more. I've never been disappointed. Don't look any further!“
