Lovely little bakery. Used to live in the area and went back. My daughter loves the cinnamon bread and the cinnamon roll was delicious! I swear I had to bribe her to give me a little bite. The lady working was very kind and friendly. When I am in the area I will go back!

I was so sad when the Star Bakery closed. I have fond memories of walking there with my aunt (when I was a little girl) when we would visit the neighborhood. Now that it's reopened, I am hoping everyone will rediscover the reason it should have never closed. I just got the best rye bread of my life there for St. Patricks Day, in addition to picking up the very best cinnamon raisin bread on the planet (no kidding). If you haven't been there in a while or if you forgot that they closed and reopened or if you have never been there, it's worth a trip over to Coolidge Rd in Oak Park between 11 and 12 mile Rd. The breads are fresh baked, the bagels are amazing and you will never know what other amazing treats you will find there. So glad they are back!

I am just sick to hear about your closing. Your bread was the best. Unfortunately your service was not up to par. I would go in at noon and the bread Was sold out and I would to order it and pick it up the next day. Im sorry.

Just my luck, I try out the bakery for the first time one week before they announced they are closing. Really hoping someone purchases the business and carries on the great artisanal work they do with the baked goods

I have been going to Star since I was a kid, which is over 60 years. Everyone was always very nice there and I felt welcome, their challah, rye and pumpernickel were the best in the Detroit, and prices were reasonable. When you support a local business you want to have a positive experience in terms of the purchase and interaction with the people in the store. Star has new owners. The breads are still made well. Now there are more upscale aspirations and slightly upscale baked goods with options for getting fancy shaped challahs for special occasions, amongst other new introductions. Their new cinnamon rolls are good. It's nice that they are being creative and have ambitions. Unfortunately there is also a new, snooty attitude behind the counter at least with some people. Also their prices are considerably higher so it's currently $5.75 for a rectangular sandwich challah, obviously inflation is also a factor. I got there 5 minutes before closing and they had all the baked goods that hadn't sold bagged up on the counter, what I thought was ready to sell as day old. I asked if they would sell them at day old prices which the bakery had done forever previously. The person at the counter said no. This seemed ridiculous and rude. This was also a new policy for the bakery which had always been reasonable about reselling things at the end of the day as day old. Then I saw a couple reviews within the past year of Star on yelp saying what someone bought at Star as new tasted stale. It would be pretty sad and unethical if they were selling day olds as new. If it wasn't the case it struck me as being unfriendly, slightly rude and off putting not to sell me goods that would be day old goods 5 minutes later. They just on the whole don't seem as friendly as they used to be - somewhat snobby. This might seem trivial but for me it reflects a sad and somewhat fundamental change that breaks with what was a wonderful tradition and anchor for the community that Star has been during my lifetime.

My husband picked up an order Saturday morning. When I bit into the apple turnover, it was moldy inside. Tried to call—mailbox was full. Filled in the Contact Us form; still haven’t been contacted.I finally called Wednesday and talked to someone who agreed that it was horrifying but didn’t offer to replace it, didn’t take my name or contact info. He just said that he’d pass the info along. Totally disappointed. Do not recommend.
Old style bakery and an endangered species. Enjoy this wonderful place, great cookies, bread and danishes. Nice people as well.

I live in Mt. Pleasant. I drove out of my way to stop at the Star Bakery on Friday afternoon, April 14th, just the get a rye bread. I had made a corned beef to bring to my friend. I purchased my rye bread. Went to my friend's home, located in Wyandotte only to discover this rye bread was stale, dry and almost tasteless. I was very disappointed. I will not return there. Maybe it should have been put in with day old products.

We’ve been buying from Star for 30 years and can’t express our gratitude & appreciation for their wonderful baked goods. We live in Howell & still drive for their rye bread and apple cuts. Have found no better and probably never will.

Star saved me over $200 by shipping me Hamantashen for my Hebrew birthday Purim instead of having my medical ride drive me there. Star's hamentashen are heavenly with the same taste I remember when I was a little boy. I'm 75 yo now. When I'm. n the neighborhood I load on challah or rye bread and the 7-layer cakes. Why not? Stacy is a wonder THANKS THANKS THANKSP.S. Tbe H. was delivered today (by local overnight Fed Ex) excellent, fresh, and yummy for my tummy.

Pączki on point. They have prune, which not everyone bothers to make anymore.
