DON'T BOTHER GOING HERE! This is like a fake, weird bakery. They hardly ever have any food for sale. They have things that are 'not for retail' in the store so you can't buy them. They have racks and racks of food they will not sell you. A fridge stuffed with food they will not sell you. They are rude about it. Plus they are horribly overpriced. The one time I did get something, it was pound cake. IT TASTED LIKE IT WAS MADE WITH CHEAP INGREDIENTS LIKE OIL, NOT BUTTER. Go to Crispelli's Bakery in Royal Oak. MUCH better selection & taste.

We got one of everything in the case. Still haven't had a better croissant in Michigan than the ones being baked by the crew at Forest. Amazing snack cakes too. There's often a line but it moves really fast!

Squash focaccia was amazingly light with just the right bite. Pumpkin bread moist with a delightful not overpowering amount of fall spices. Everything delicious!
We are spoiled by our local bakeries in Massachusetts and thought no one could come close. We were very wrong - wish we lived closer!!
Thank you for blowing us away! ❤️❤️

Best bakery around! Everything is made from the most amazing ingredients and the ladies there are so nice!!! Get there before they open and stand in line, talking to the other customers while waiting was pretty cool too.

I finally got to try this place and it was sooo yummy! I normally do not have a big sweet tooth but this place hit the spot. Affordable prices and great variety!
There’s usually a wait so get there in time!

WOW. A wonderful tiny patisserie right in my neighborhood! Their selection is limited but excellent. Only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Open 9 to 1 ot until they are sold out. They sell out almost daily so don't be late. They have regular items and daily specialties. Well worth the cost as you can tell by the taste the bakery uses the highest quality ingredients. Carryout only, however, the bakery has a small number of seats outside on the sidewalk to enjoy your purchase.

When I go to Forest, I make sure to get there 30 minutes early just to line up…I’m that obsessed. I love grabbing all my favorites and heading home for a little feast. I’m lactose intolerant, but for Forest, I indulge at least once a month. Everything is just that good. As a croissant lover, I can confidently say these are the best I’ve ever had…they melt in your mouth. I haven’t had a single bad thing here!

A true gem in Oak Park! Forest Bakery, founded by the talented trio of Jo Burke, Kyle Suczynski, and Humna Tak, offers some of the finest pastries around. Their 27-layer croissants are a testament to their dedication, and the vegan options, like the citrus almond poppy cake, are just as delightful. The bakery operates Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until they sell out, which often happens quickly. The cozy atmosphere, housed in a converted car wash, adds to the charm. Arrive early to experience the full array of their handcrafted delights!
My favorite go to bakery. There hasn’t been a single item I have gotten that I have not truly enjoyed. You can tell that the owners and the staff truly care about the bakery and the product it delivers to its customers. Highly recommend stopping in and giving anything they have a try!

Favorite bakery in the area! Always lots of options to select to take home. Make sure you check out their retail fridge offerings, occasional fresh floral bouquets. Smell their new soy wax candle poured by Detroit Rose! I love it here, worth waiting in line for. Giant cinnamon rolls on Saturdays :)

I read the review in Metro Times and been wanting to stop by to check this place out. It is rare for me to be around here during their limited hours and read they sell out early. We arrived around Noon today and they were pretty cleaned out. Fortunately they had one chocolate croissant left and knew we had to have one of those based on the review and also got the coffee cake for our second item planing to split them both. Oh my. The croissant may have been the best I have had outside Paris, light flakey and buttery. Perfect. The coffee cake was also superb. The women running this bakery clearly have a special talent. If bakery treats are your thing I highly recommend trying Forest Bakery. They are only open Thursday through Saturday and open at 10:00. Get there early cause they close when they run out and from what we saw they can run out pretty early!
