The 33 best spots for croissants in Detroit

I came here after reading so many great reviews about this place. Everyone was very friendly the place itself was super cute. I got the rosemary cookie, blueberry rhubarb pie and the $5.00 mystery bag. Everything so far is amazing. So I will be back again. The prices were reasonable.

New to the neighborhood and have added Sister Pie as my favorite stop for fast, good food. Pictured is the veggie hand pie, this week was Brussels sprouts. Delish.

An absolutely life changing experience. Sister Pie has some of the best if not THE best pastries, and cookies in town. I had the rhubarb yogurt, lemon drops, rhubarb pistachio cookies, and the rosemary cookies. Yo! Let me tell you! When I saw 95¢ for one of these items I was dumbfounded. What an amazement to be tasting some of the best flavors in town, but the sheer creativeness was impeccable. The staff was caring, and loving. The value, the spirit, and the integrity of this business speaks volumes. What a pleasure to stumble upon Sister Pie. Ladies! Thank you! From LA, with love. Side note: drip coffee was BOMB AF

Delicious honey lemon meringue pie and buckwheat chocolate chip cookie! Can't wait to try more. Edit: tried the hand pie and paprika peanut butter cookie. Both delicious! The hand pie couldn't be flakier. Perfection!

Cute pie shop! Lots of delicious sweets! The coffee pie was amazing, recommend anyone and everyone to try! Walkable area and plenty of street parking. Eat pie! Stopped by after a couple years and still one of my fav shops when in the area!

Great place to go if you are looking for a unique and different desserts. Not a real pie fan but I tried a couple of different slices with my niece. They were ok I like the cookies better.

Get here early for the best selection! The place is small inside but there is a selection of tables outside to sit. The scones were super moist and the buckwheat chocolate chip cookies were a favourite. I tried a slice of the Banana Pete pie and it was amazing! I will definitely be coming back to try more pie flavours and some of their other treats as well.

This place is amazing! Anything that you get will be just delicious. For pistachio lovers they have many many options. The Le Saucisson is fantastic. Very good coffee, would definitely recommend and come back to this place.

Awesome pastries, excellent coffee and good ambience. Ahmad at cash register scored a 5 star in customer service. Coffee was served at perfect temperature ( I get it at 165). Overall one of the must visit places in Detroit.

Feels like a French bakery right in the heart of Detroit. It’s just beautiful in there! And everything is so tasty. I recommend eating in or taking out. While staying down the street for a week… I would get a box of mini macarons to have with my coffee in the morning at the hotel. A little gem!

Stopped in late on a Saturday night for pastries. Great selection late in the day was still available. So many beautiful French pastries here and ended up picking the raspberry tart and Frasier. Both were good but the raspberry tart was extra special due to the hidden raspberry liquid filling. European pastries tend to be less sweet than the American versions so keep this in mind if you’re looking for a sugar rush. I thought this bakery was wonderful!

So we actually have tried the chocolate croissants a bunch of times in the past because they have a stand at eastern market every Saturday, and they are the first stand that we go to and make sure we get all of our croissants and bread. They have the freshest best croissants I’ve ever had our favorite is the chocolate stuffed one, however today we tried the chocolate pistachio, and a couple different raspberry ones they were all phenomenal. The staff is always friendly, and are always patient and answer all of the questions that I have about their beautiful tasty desserts. And we never leave without buying a loaf of sourdough, best bread ever as well I wish there were more locations where I lived, but it would definitely be worth the 35 minute drive from my house, And they do have four locations so that’s really good, highly recommend

Where your eyes can definitely get bigger than your stomach. Sooo many delicious options from chocolate croissants to raspberry towered pastries. Good coffee, fun background music, and good vibe.

Amazing selection. Amazing service. Amazing food!!! Long line to be waited on, but that just tells you how wonderful their creations are. Honestly, I don't even have a favorite.... it's ALL fabulous! You need to try for yourself.... highly recommend all of their croissants!

The Peach Cobbler cookie is to die for, and the 7-Up Pound Cake is a classic hit! I can’t wait to try more of their delicious treats!

Today I went to Get my favorite peach cobbler cookie. I look forward to the cookie because it’s my favorite. It taste so good so last week. I went in and purchased a peach cobbler cookie when I got home it was burnt on the bottom very dry and hard on top I broke a piece off so I had to throw it away couldn’t eat it, I caught the flu bug last week so I did not go back to the bakery until I felt better, so today I went to purchase me another cookie and when I explained to the cashier. About my last experience, she proceeded to talk to the manager, and then came and insinuated that I warmed it up and that’s why the bottom of the cookie looks like this, she said NO MAMM!!!! NOT TRUE No, I had to throw it away, I couldn’t eat it. The only reason I didn’t bring it back is because I was feeling under the weather.I have been sick last week. That’s why I hadn’t been back into the bakery, but I did take a picture of the cookie 🍪 So today, I explained to the cashier about my last cookie I purchased and I was so disappointed they Insinuated That I warmed the cookie up something that I have never done before it barely makes it to my house, it’s just that good, I still purchased my cookie today but when left that establishment they just left a bad taste in my mouth. I was not looking for a free cookie, but I just wanted them to know that I always buy their cookies and I never had an issue before, my cookie was burnt. AND I DID NOT DO IT!!!!!! A customer that enjoys your baked goods but today my customer service was at all time low

I decided on the caramel cake delicious, a little less moist than I’m use to, but overall the flavor was mind blowing especially the icing. I also ordered the peach cobbler cookie which was like biting into a piece of heaven! Thank you for that beautiful experience. I did not care for the sugar lemon cookie; the chocolate chip cookie was good. The service: I did not receive a warm welcome, our establishments really need to train their cashiers or front desk associates to have better customer service skills, they are the first person we encounter when walking in. The parking is horrible, but I lucked up and got a spot right when someone was leaving. I will be back for that peach cobbler cookie!

I cannot say enough good things about this bakery. Their vegan options are next level — so good, you’d never even guess they’re plant-based. The texture, the flavor, the creativity… everything is spot-on. I had a slice of their vegan cookies and cream cake, and it was absolutely divine. Even my non-vegan friends were blown away! On top of that, the staff is super friendly, the place is spotless, and there’s always a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay a while. This place is a total win for everyone — vegan or not!

Visited Good Cakes today, nice atmosphere, desserts were tasty. We purchase 2 slices of cake and a cookie. Cake was a bit pricey for me $8+ a slice. We decided to go on and dine in for a little dessert. Ask for some water was told they don’t give out water you would have to purchase it if you wanted some water to wash down $8+ slice of cake. We brought the $3 bottle of water and ask for a cup to drink it out of, we were told they don’t give out cups for water purchase at their establishment. After asking the manager to make it make sense as to why she couldn’t give me a cup to drink out of. The owns comes over and tells me I can buy a cup for $.50 to drink my $3 bottle of water to wash down my $8+ slice of cake. Very poor customer service , cake is not that good where I would go back to be mistreated. Come on Lady make this make sense!

I purchased 3 Carmel slices and 1 carrot cake slice @8 a slice. I was excite Carmel cake to have a homemade texture and taste. It was horrible more spongy and the Carmel anymore like lemon. Not melt in your mouth nothing. I’m pissed bc I called and told them I wasn’t satisfied and I wanted money back or different cake and they refused. Bad business after I spent 35$ on 4 slices. Will never revisit this place. Awful.

Wonderful service and cute shop. Went a bit late in the day and there wasn't too many options. Will try again earlier and see what's up. The strawberry butter cake was delish and so was the Crunchy strawberry shortcake. Also, I never want another sugar cookie without lemon in it cause dang!

My FAVOURITE patisserie in the entire mid west! Detroit is so lucky to have a place like this!! Everything is impeccable. Every time a friend is visiting Detroit i tell them this is a must stop! The most friendly staff too!!

Small pastry shops like this evoke and closely mirror the myriad you'd find throughout the EU. Even the general layout with sidewalk chairs. Compared to average NA pastries, these tend to be lighter, less sweet, and place a greater focus on subtle taste signatures. I was quite pleased even with their drip coffee (IMHO better than some bespoke pour overs), which hard a strong, freshly roasted pour over taste signature. My wife enjoyed a tasty Cortado as well. It’s nice seeing baristas still creating artistic swirls as an end note. The cafe itself is small and seating is geared towards 1-2 only. It’s not really conducive for laptops and general work. It reminds me a lot of a Berlin or Paris cafe where the focus is to relax, watch people, and enjoy coffee & treats. Take a gander, you’ll likely find something to make you smile.

I always love coffee shops/pastries. This one was one of the best. I ordered two pastries which I had hard time to decide which one was better. The quiche was excellent. Worth to try this little cutie!!

Warda Pâtisserie is inviting and cozy, this hidden gem is making the best pastries you can find in Michigan. I highly recommend popping in for a savory slice of quiche, a sweet Maritozzi bun, or any of the rotating season items available by this unique bakery. The staff are cheerful, the sitting area is cute, and the pastries can make you feel like you’re back in Europe. I love this little Detroit pâtisserie and have been recommending it to all my friends.

If you looking to experience high quality dessert and pastries this is the place to go. The moment you walk in you feel how clam chill and amazing the place. Ones you look at the menu you will just want to try everything because each one is better than the other. Customer service 10 Quality 9 Vibe and space 10 Come experience a luxurious time with your family and friends. Won’t disappoint.

Loved the 8 PM Friday night iftar special opening! Great vibe, super fresh pastries all baked specially for the evening crowd! We had semolina cake, baklava twist, and mbardja tart with spiced date filling. Rich, perfect textures, but every one was not too sweet. Truly outstanding! Next time will try the pots de creme. And check out their online pre-orders… their “Dubai pie” looks INSANE.

I am gluten-free but not Celiac. They have a few (3-4) pastries that are gluten-free (unsure of the cross contamination status). Most of them were chocolate, which I am also allergic to. So, I wasn't able to get anything to eat. The staff was super nice and I'd love to go again if I lived in Detroit. I had the Genmaicha (green tea with rice toasted into it). It tastes very good, more earthy, and I needed quite a bit of simple syrup. When exiting, I decided to buy the lavender heart meringues because those were also gluten free. They also tasted a bit earthy in addition to the flavoring, but it turns out I don't like meringue anyways so I may be biased. There wasn't a lot of parking in front of the store. About 6-8 parallel parking spots for $1 per hour. Luckily I got a spot, but there weren't many left. There are more spots across the street.

I just want to preface this first by stating that I have been to the Woodward location before and always enjoyed my food, so I'm upset I even have to write this review. I came here on Christmas Eve and ordered biscuits and gravy with a dressed salad on the side to go. When I opened the bag, I was incredibly disappointed in what I saw and paid for - 1 sad egg, biscuit, and extremely sweet sausage gravy. Actually I don't even think it was gravy given what they posted on 1/4/25. Please reference the picture attached. It tasted as bad as it looks. Now here is where I may have messed up, instead of calling the establishment back, I DM'd them on Instagram, in which they have yet to respond back. An acknowledgement or explanation would've been polite, especially since they have no issue posting 6x now.

Got a vanilla coffee - loved the flavor! Tasted like vanilla bean paste was added instead of just vanilla syrup. Breakfast bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was tasty but not enough of it. 2 small pieces of bacon with a large bun - all I felt I ate was bread. Loved the inside and atmosphere and would go back.

Keep in mind that this Avalon Bakery on Canfield has a smaller menu compared to the Downtown Detroit location. So there are not as many options. But the overall vibe and atmosphere is very nice and having outside seating options is very nice. The food is also really good. My friend and I got the Fried egg, bacon, and avocado sandwich($14.50) and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. For Wayne State Students, on Wednesdays it’s 20% off.

Sandwiches are decent, breakfast baked goods not so much. Toasted bagel with cream cheese came out as a stale bagel doused in melted butter with a small side of cream cheese. Not sure if the butter was an attempt to hide the staleness but it definitely was not what I ordered.

Avalon has delicious pastries (chocolate croissant is divine), good coffee and savory treats (get the avocado toast!) for breakfast. Also enjoyed their simple but well-made Turkey sandwich for lunch. The savory focaccia was big enough to share! The bread is top notch and the customer service is too! Grab a cookie on your way out - they’re the best!

Absolutely love the original Avalon Bakery. It is everything I could ask for in a local patisserie and more. Pastries are always fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. Espresso bar is a huge plus, and I adore the additional pantry and kitchen items they sell. Bonus points for the lovely chalkboard menu art and seasonal decor within the bake shop. They’re really great with catering orders, and it’s a perfect destination for tourists and out-of-town friends. Never change, Avalon!

The food knocked my socks off. The staff was laid back and pleasant and engaging. The spot is as trendy as ya expect for this part of town. 100% recommend!

Love the potato pies. Reminds me of my grandmother's. I'm from Birmingham, AL. Been a customer for a couple decades. One suggestion, now that the price of a single whole has reached $19.99, you should consider offering loyalty punch cards. You know like by six (6) or ten(10) and get one (1) Free. Peace and Love, L.DeForrest

I love, love, love, love me some Sweet Potato Sensations! For food, sweets, apparel, jewelry and of course some fellowship! Some of my absolute menu favorites are: the sweet potato dressing, Mac and Cheese, cat fish omg and let’s not forget the awesome tuna sandwich. I give them all 5 stars as they do it all in LOVE!

Cute place… parking unfortunately not ideal. Been wanting to try this place so I had the chicken and sweet potato waffles, which was just OK because the waffle was a bit dry, possibly overcooked and had a little too much of something in the ingredients, that wasn’t very appetizing and unfortunately, the chicken was just OK, but wasn’t very flavorful like I had expected. However, the collard greens and macaroni cheese, were wonderful! And I also was able to try the pork-chop sandwich on a croissant and that too was pretty yummy! When it was time to leave, I asked about the body beads as to the pricing and process to receive help with them. Unfortunately, that response wasn’t very inviting. Therefore, I will go elsewhere for those. I believe the owner herself was also working, which is to be commended because I too am an entrepreneur, and she herself was very nice!

Food is great! People are lovely as is the casual atmosphere. People come in frequently for pick up orders! That tells a story!

Cute bake shop with limited hours so check before going. I bought a whole pie to serve at Thanksgiving, the flavor is good but the pie was more like a tart. Very little filling. I have purchased from them before like the sweet potato ice cream with nuts is great or the cake. Guessing they are cutting back or I received an error. Delicious, reminds me of my grandmother's in taste, just very little of the filling.

My absolute favorite place. Cute and welcoming Cafe. Everything on the menu is amazing. They have dope vibes, clothing, accessories but nothing tops the food. The black eyed pea and collard green soup is amazing!

Sweet potato everything!! My family has been going to this place for a while to buy pies but I decided to give the food a chance. I ordered the fried turkey chop with large sweet potato pancakes and sweet potato fries. My carry out order took a bit long to come but it was still hot and fresh when I got home. As recommend by the cashier, the Fried Turkey Chops we're definitely the way to go!!!! The pancakes were huge and delicious, and the grits we're just as good. Glad to know there's good food in the area.

Tried a variety of treats, all were $18 in total. Excellent value! I didn’t like the cookies much at all, or the bread pudding… I threw them out. But I loved the Tres Leches cup and the chocolate slice!! The strawberry cheesecake was also delicious! I think the items in the cold case are better overall than the dried bakery items, but just my opinion. :)

This bakery was exactly what I needed this morning! I got my coffee and pastry before work, and both were amazing. The dessert was delicious, the coffee was fantastic, and the cafe is beautiful. The food selection is great, and the workers were incredibly kind, patient, and insightful.

I love this bakery! I've been going to this bakery for years. Anytime our family has company from out of town come visit, we always bring them here as a must stop and they are equally just as impressed. The treats are delicious, the staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is always top notch. It is hands down the best spot for your mexican sweets and I love the creative new additions they've introduced.

Been coming here since as long as I can remember and always so good! I’ve bought too many yummy treats and birthday cakes to count but this latest treat I got was SO GOOD. I’ve been trying to find these croissant pastries everywhere and this went beyond my expectations. I will recommend this place forever ❤️

Best bakery in Michigan PERIOD‼️ I am a baker and cake decorator myself and when I tell you there quality is AMAZING IN EVERY way. Service is excellent, every worker is kind friendly and helpful. What an amazing experience. I will absolutely be a regular customer weekly if not daily🫶🏼💗

This place is great! Super packed on a Sunday. A real bakery with all kinds of sweet and savory choices. Tres Leches of every variety (this right here 😁) tamales, churros of various fillings, coffees all in Detroit’s Mexican Village. A little tight inside space-wise and outside in the parking lot car-wise, but worth a trip.

Beautiful place! The desserts are out of this world! The nicest staff possible! I love the area too! 10/10

Probably the best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life. Ever. And there are so many other desserts to choose from, they all looked amazing! I’ll definitely be back!

They make you feel uncomfortable if you're not Hispanic staring at you for starters next is I'm eating a tres leches cake and as im chewing something pokes the top of my mouth why is there a little piece of wood in my cake tighten up now 👎🏽👎🏽

It's disgusting, the bread here always tastes like floor disinfectant and soap. Seriously, be more careful because today the bread was disgusting and it's awful that you don't pay attention to this. I told you months ago that the bread had a strange taste. and they told me that then I should buy somewhere else and I think it's not about that, today I bought bread again since I live nearby and the other bakeries are too far away and again the bread tastes like floor disinfectant and this time I decided post my experience

Best tres leches cake around. Can even buy it by the slice.

Wasn’t to happy with my recent experience. Customer service is very dry, there is definitely a lack of communication. No one’s greets you No one understands you. Even the signs are not readable. I didn’t even feel welcomed then the nerve for the cashiers to have a TIP jar at each register. The prices are Ridiculous for a 8in cake with vintage design was $65 versus a rival bakery whom wanted $42. I’d say that’s robbery…. Walmart bakery is definitely the New Go too! Same cake same design for $20… I’ll never go back to Sheila’s!!!!! They really deserve 0 in all aspects.

Can’t get enough of this place their tres leches cakes are to die for!!! Many different cakes, flavors and that have many other delicious treats for everyone in your group. We’re known for bringing a tres leches cake for every gathering and everyone looks forward to it. I wish I lived closer! Theres also a location in Pontiac.

My girlfriend took me here for the first time and it was amazing. First, my favourite dessert is flan, and I definitely reccomend their's. The cakes looked delicious and the place overall was colourful. I like the idea of serving yourself. It was bad because I couldn't stop myself from trying and loading up on more bread. Nice place and employees. Good place to shop for authentic Mexican breads and some desserts.

Gateaux is already a favorite of mine and recently also provided the most beautiful cakes for my wedding. They made my traditional wedding cake and also worked with us to create a full table sheet cake to match beautifully! We went with the pistachio rose water filling and were not disappointed. I would order this again in a heart beat. Thank you for helping make this part of our wedding perfect and delicious! ❤️

What a cute little hidden gem I have not tried the miso salted caramel cookie yet because I’m waiting for my sister to try it with me, but how creative! The spinach and cheese croissant needed more flavor to it, but the outside croissant breading was amazing, flaky, and good. The staff was super nice. The whole vibe was beautiful and chic and very French. I did order the almond croissant which I’m about to try now they had a whole host of pastries and drinks that were very inspiring like the pistachio latte. I highly recommend this place. One thing, though I requested a side pat of butter for my croissant and the lady said and I quote… “we do not have any butter.” How is that even possible when you’re preparing croissants, cookies, breads and other baked goodies? 😒🥺 nevertheless I would return and recommend that they make little pats of butter available.🤗

Me and my girls went on February 15th as a Galentines Day treat♥️ And OH MY GOSH. We all were in HEAVEN with the goodies we got🤤 I got the orange blossom maracon & the Mexican latte. The Mexican has straight cayenne pepper y'all!! 🌶 My mouth was on 🔥....but it was sooooo good!! And their matcha, iced or hot, is the BEST matcha I've ever had!! I highly recommend this place as a special treat!🩷

It was a beautiful place pastry and coffee cup and everything was at good presentation . BUT Its good not excellent and price is TOO HIGH!for two persons you should expect more than 35$!

First time to visit this store. We wanted to check birthday cakes and try their coffee. Store is clean and nicely decorated and quiet and the overall atmosphere is nice. We didn't find a wide selection of available presented birthday cakes. We got the different kinds of cookies and kids loved them. We got a croissant (very good) and two Lattes coffee drinks. They were too sweet, overly sweet, with weak coffee flavor. We couldn't drink them. Maybe that's the French way for the Latte, it's just not my taste.

Madeline made the yummiest Ashta cup. Sooo yummy 😋 my bestie loved her strawberry matcha too. The pistachio macaron is the best macaron ever. Sooo good👌

This patisserie shop was everything for a girls meet and greet Sip Sunday. The customer service was excellent! She informed me of the wait for the non sweet baked goods. I didn’t mind the wait I was there for a two hour meet and greet. I had a large classic caramel latte and a spinach and feta danish. It was delicious nice and buttery!

They made the most delicious birthday cake I have ever had. The chocolate icing had amazing flavor and the cake was freshly made for my son’s birthday. Thank you so much!!!!

Absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookies!

Delicious food Geneous portions. Giant cookies.

Wow what a great community-oriented space. Very affordable and delicious homemade meals and baked goods.

Great food, great people to support.

Good food , nice atmosphere

This is a wonderful bakery. All of their baked food look and smell amazing. Unfortunately I am going to dock one star, because the clientele that frequent this place are very weird, and very rude. It seems all of their customers are yt, crunchy, granola people. They made me feel very uncomfortable. I came here to support a pop-up vendor, and I while waiting in line, multiple people cut in front of me. One woman, who was purchasing bread while I was in line for the pop-up, came up from behind me and said “I was actually in line first, so I’m going to go in front”, then proceeded to buy a TON of items. Then I was cut off my this family who was ogling me while I was clearly waiting in line. They said nothing to me. Everyone was so stand-offish, and acted VERY rude. I just wanted to purchase a croissant! 😩 I was so stunned I could not reply. I just accepted my fate. I barely got the last two things available. I would love to come back and try more things, but the customers here really put a bad taste in my mouth - and I’m very much like them! I would never act like that, though.

Love the vibe of this secret bakery. Staff was very friendly. We sat outside to eat at some cute tables. The danishes were very very good. Need to come back to try the loaves! Instagram: @funas_eats_it

This is not regarding the food. I didn’t have a chance to try it… I walked in at 8:58. Note, “I walked in”, meaning their front door was unlocked. There’s no sign denoting open or closed, psst it’s a secret… Several folks greet me. Smelled very good. A woman w/ short blond hair comes forward and politely informs me that they will be opened at 9, “in a few minutes”. Says this while tapping her watch. I check my watch and it’s a 8:58. My heart is warmed that business is so good in Ferndale! Salute. If the bakery is still in business next time I’m in town visiting family I will give it a whirl. I went to Warda instead. Worth the drive!

This place started as a "secret" out of a house. It now is a legitimate business but with limited hours (they're only open Wednesdays and Saturdays). As of January 22, 2025, they are officially a James Beard award semifinalist thus I expect items to sell out even more quickly than they do now. They post their weekly menu on social media. Go as early as you can if you want something specific. And last but not least - Burnt Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I had such a wonderful experience going to this bakery. Even tho I came way too early I was accommodated and left with the intended bake goods. The sourdough bread activated me like that food critic from Ratatouille.

My favorite bakery in the city! The sesame fennel bread, and the sweet danish are my favorites! The bakery has become part of my Saturday morning routine!

This is the best bread I’ve ever had from a bakery EVER! Not one bad thing to say about the Secret Bakery, go there now!

There's an old fashioned feel to this place. It's not very wide, but it has a long glass counter with what looks like 101 different goodies! You take a number and when your number is called you tell them what you want. I ordered a Chocolate Brownie, a Caramel Cake, a Cinnamon Roll, and this honey twist thing. I was hoping to get an egg tart or two, however they didn't have any on the day I stopped in. For the four items I spent $19, with the cake being the priciest. However I thought the prices were fair. I tried a little of all of them that night and I thought the brownie was too fudgy for me, I prefer a cakey brownie. The caramel cake was very good. The Cinnamon Roll was only okay, that was my biggest disappointment. I didn't really love the honey twist thing either. That's on me, since I just kinda randomly picked it. The service was excellent. Super efficient and very friendly. They seem to enjoy their work. Overall for me it was a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes, but if they didn't have any tarts I wouldn't feel obligated to try something else.

This place has a great selection of desserts for a very reasonable price. You can take out or dine in if you want, and they have ample space. 5 stars for the service as the lady working there was very helpful and took the time to walk us through their selection , showed us the best sellers, and made recommendations based on our taste preferences.

We are frequent customers of Astoria in Greektown. This has always been a tradition for my children before events downtown. We have never had anything that wasn’t amazing. Our favorites are the baklava and the eclairs but we do our best to try something new on each visit. We love this establishment. It’s Detroit for us — in pastry form.

Astoria Pastry Shop is an absolute gem in Detroit! The pastries are delicious and beautifully presented. The shop's cozy, charming interior feels like a European café, with warm lighting and vintage decor. The adorable packaging, with its delicate designs, adds a special touch that makes the experience memorable. Highly recommend stopping by for a delightful treat and a dash of sweetness in your day!

Last time I was at this remarkable pastry store it was 2007 and I was 17, today when I went in it was just as magical and delicious as I remembered it being. Best baklava I’ve ever had. Period.

Walking into Astoria Bakery in downtown Detroit is an experience in itself. The atmosphere is “ quaint, and vintage”, with the enticing aroma of fresh-baked treats filling the air and an excited buzz from customers eager to indulge in their favorite pastries. The display cases are a feast for the eyes—packed with a dazzling variety of cookies, cakes, and other confections that make it nearly impossible to choose just one. The staff was friendly and efficient, keeping the line moving while still offering warm, welcoming service. However, while the presentation and ambiance were top-tier, the flavors fell a bit short of expectations. The baked goods, though visually stunning, lacked that rich, homemade essence that truly sets a bakery apart. It seems that the high demand may be impacting the time and care put into each item, leading to treats that are good—but not quite exceptional. Astoria is definitely worth a visit for the experience, variety, and vintage vibes, but if you're searching for that unmistakable homemade taste, you may find yourself wanting just a little more.

It's a wonderful pastry shop, confections and treats of the expected stripe and flavor from europe.its been years since i had their hot chocolate or ice cream, but the canoli was great, just as I remembered

A good Cuban restaurant in downtown Detroit. We came for a small get together with some friends on a weekday night and had a great time. The bartender is fantastic, very friendly and makes a great cocktail. The drinks are VERY expensive, but it's worth it from time to time for a good drink. The service was great, the servers and manager were very nice, helpful, and they checked on us frequently. The food was good, the apps were great. We also had some salads and entrees and everything was good. I'm told by my group that there is better Cuban food elsewhere but this is the best I have ever had, which I admit has not been very many times. Overall I think this place is great, great service, great drinks, and good food. Recommended.

My first visit to Vicente’s did not disappoint. From the moment we entered until the time we left I enjoyed myself. We had Abraham as our waiter and he was phenomenal. Abraham shared his favorite appetizers,drinks, entrées as well as desserts. He was precise, friendly efficient. He made sure we kept our glasses filled and that the food was delicious. They also offer Salsa lessons and the instructor had top notch energy. He encouraged and supported all guest to give it a try. It’s safe to say I’ll be back here.

The tapas were delicious, especially the croquetas. I'd go back just for those. The main dishes were fine. Overall, meats were kind of dry except in the ropa sucia, which is stewed beef and therefore difficult to make dry. Drinks were good. Service was good. Atmosphere was good except there were TVs playing the news for some reason. It was distracting in a bad way.

The food was excellent. I went to the restaurant the night before and then ordered it again on DoorDash. I strongly recommend the Empanadas de Pollo (Chicken Empanadas), plantains, and the Pollo Limon. I STRONGLY recommend you go into the restaurant and order the steak with chimichurri sauce. This is my first time trying Cuban food. I'm very glad I did. I wish I took more photos but, I couldn’t put my fork down! The service was great. He was very attentive and accommodating. Like I said, I never tried Cuban food. He answered all of our questions and was patient. It was very clean. The decor and ambiance were nice and welcoming. We made a reservation for four. I will be back bringing my Connoisseur Club!

Really good food and service. Live music when we were there was perfect, and not too loud to prevent conversations.

Our group visited Vicente's for a birthday bash and we were delighted by the whole experience! The dishes not only tasted great but were also beautifully presented. Our waiter was wonderfully attentive, ensuring our needs were promptly met. It had been some time since my last visit to Vicente's, but I was genuinely impressed by its spotless environment, chic decor, and vibrant atmosphere. We're already excited about returning for salsa classes and more dancing! It was also refreshing to see a few plant-based and vegetarian options on the menu. We'd love to see even more variety in this area, especially some plant-based dessert options alongside the traditional ones.

It was super busy when we 1st arrived but the food & service were off. Ordered café con leche and they burnt the milk which in turn made the coffee undrinkable. Will give it another shot tho.

The sweets are absolutely Delicious. it’s very clean, very family friendly. I love it. Drove all the way from Tennessee to try. they let us try samples of the sweets before purchasing. and also samples of juice. I have to say, I tried their viral debate chocolate baklava it’s a 100!!

Hi . This is really beautiful place and the sweets look amazing BUT! they are super sweet and for the price i paid and this beautiful place I don’t think they should serve bad COFFEE like this and foods served in cheapest plastic plate and fork Pistachio coffee made with pistachio syrup not with pistachio milk and its so hot that I sitting here for 12 min and still not drinkable . I bought 4 different sweets and i just liked the look not the taste

The place is absolutely beautiful. Inside has a gorgeous aesthetic that is very clean and elegant. The place was very busy so it took about 15 minutes to get in an order. The pastries and baked goods look so good. But I must say the looks are very deceiving. The food tasted very bland and seemed as if it was baked the day before. The food wasn’t fresh at all. It’s very disappointing as it was very hyped. Prices seem to be fair but honestly I’m disappointed in the quality of food.

Excellent service and delicious sweets! Their desserts are the closest to authentic ones I’ve had. I will definitely be going again. Highly recommend trying the Madlouka!

Shatila Bakery in Dearborn is a paradise for anyone who loves authentic Lebanese pastries. During a recent visit to Windsor, we decided to make the short trip across the border specifically to try Shatila—and it was an experience we won’t forget. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting. The bakery is beautifully designed, clean, and organized, with a display case that feels like a treasure chest of desserts. The sheer variety of pastries is incredible—rows of perfectly made baklava, maamoul, knefe, and many other Lebanese classics. Everything looked so fresh, and the aromas alone were enough to make your mouth water. The taste didn’t disappoint either. Each bite was a perfect blend of flavor and texture, from the flaky, buttery layers of the baklava to the sweet, smooth filling of the knefe. You can tell that Shatila uses high-quality ingredients and puts a lot of care into every pastry. On top of the incredible sweets, the customer service was fantastic. The staff was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, helping us navigate their extensive menu and offering great recommendations. Even though it was busy (no surprise given their reputation), the service was quick and efficient. Another big plus is the affordability. For such exceptional quality and generous portions, the prices are more than reasonable. It’s no wonder Shatila is famous all over the USA. Whether you’re a local or making a special trip, this bakery is a must-visit. We’ll be back the next time we’re in the area!

Amazing food, honors Mediterranean cuisine by making the most delicious spinach pies, tasty knafeh, or crunching sweet owemet, you can always get something tasty here! Great service, awesome milkshakes, brings the Mediterranean straight to Detroit. Must try!

Love this place. They always have the best choices and so beautiful not to mention tasty. You cannot go wrong with anything you try, other than your pocket may feel it because you end up walking out with way too much food because it’s all so delicious. This Christmas cake is stunning. We will be back and we always recommend to family and friends.

My meema and pops used to take me and my brother here for their tamales when we were kids. 20 years later, I live 3 hours and I drive there a couple times a year for them. I love this place

The coolest bakery I've ever been to! Incredible selection and very delicious pastries & cookies! Worth the time to stop in and very affordable!

First time there. Grabbed a nice amount of goods plus beef tamales. Everything tasted great and fresh! Definitely recommend you stop by and treat yourself and check out the pics & video.

I absolutely love La Gloria Bakery! They have the best baked goods in town, always fresh and delicious. But my absolute favorite items are the flour tortillas and the barbacoa. The tortillas are perfectly soft, warm, and melt in your mouth, while the barbacoa is tender and packed with flavor. The owners are very friendly and they care about the customer. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious and very good prices in this old school bakery in Mexican town. The strawberry yo-yos and strawberry filled rolled cake with coconut were the best! Great prices and friendly service. The cookies and baked goods were really tasty as well! Will definitely return! Yummy!

First time at the La Gloria Bakery and it's the coolest bakery I've ever visited. Baked goods are very good. Delicious! Must stop and grab some goods if you are in the area!

Awesome little Mexican bakery. Everything I've had from here was absolutely fantastic. Churros are perfect, empanadas are great, the jelly roll is yummy!

Located in downtown Hamtramck outside of Detroit,this bakery specializes in Polish and European pastries,breads,cookies,pies and cakes. Family owned since 1908,this is a genuine old school Polish bakery. They have a large selection of cookies and pastries all on display. We tried a few of their pastries and cookies. Cookies were just ok but their pastries were amazing. Brought back many childhood memories. I would love to go back and try one of their famous Paczki since they were already sold out.

I live in Jackson Missouri and be palace made my Christmas whole I havmt had a 7 children’s Christmas cake in 20 years and they were able to mail me one of these cakes and I will say best bakery hands down in the world

Stood in line super early morning to get my paczki on Fat Tuesday and they did not disappoint. Their specialty donuts were amazing. I got a dozen plus a half dozen of glazed strawberry. Can't wait to go back next year.

The only authentic Paczki maker left in Hamtramck. They are a great bakery the rest of the year, too. Everything they sell is great, I just wanted sh they would have apricot Paczki.

The ladies who served me were a bit dry in my interactions when speaking with me. They barely looked me in my face or eyes. ( I’m from the Twa people, descendants of Alkebulan. ) I don’t eat animals or animal products and they don’t have too many items that don’t have dairy or eggs in them, so that type of selection is very limited. But the food looks great and the items I purchased were very good. It is a nice small cozy shop but I didn’t feel welcomed however and seemed to be rushed . I’ll give them another try. It could have just been a bad day.

I waited on Fat Tuesday for a 1:15 minute but it was worth the wait

Love this Bakery I've been going here for years especially since the Oaza Bakery closed and they are the only good one left. But I am saddened that on Paczki day that you can no longer the Paczki's you want. You have to get a numbered box....I thought the whole reason you go to a Bakery was to get the items you wanted not the assorted box of other stuff you wont eat. If I wanted an assorted box I could go anywhere not waot in a Bakeryline for hours. Just sad especially since I am 3rd generation and have 2 more generations under me to carry on.

This place is a scam. A custom cake is 77 dollars that feed two people when they claim it feeds 8-10. I had to buy more cake from their bakery to make sure the cake is enough.Moreover, the cake didn’t even make it home, it split on its own. Don’t ever order from them. Their staff are so unprofessional to the point where they told me that I don’t know how to cut a cake when I told them the cake doesn’t feed 8-10 people. It was clear by just looking at the cake and not attempting to cut it that it was the case. The staff started using swear language on the phone and cutting me from completing my sentences and proceeded to hang up. This is the way they help making someone’s birthday special! It is a privilege for the owner that someone chose their place to buy a cake, and part of this brand should be respectful employees and not trash. There are plenty of bakeries in detroit and its suburbs and for sure this place will never be my choice ever again.

Was looking to have a cute Halloween date. I absolutely loved the Matilda cake! However, I found it a bit confusing that they initially said they were out of stock, yet there were whole cakes available in the fridge. Additionally, I noticed a decline in service during my visit. When we entered the empty store, we weren’t greeted right away, and it took some time for staff to assist us. Overall, the experience felt a bit disorganized.

I recently ordered a cake from For the Love of Sugar for my bridal shower and I couldn't have been happier with the result. The cake was not only visually stunning with beautiful stencil work and florals, but it also tasted absolutely delicious. The triple berry flavor was a hit with all of my guests and I received so many compliments on how beautiful it was. I highly recommend For the Love of Sugar for any special occasion or event, their cakes are truly a work of art and taste just as good as they look. Thank you for helping make my bridal shower extra special!

Absolutely love this bakery! For the Love of Sugar has the perfect mix of stunning aesthetics and delicious treats. Their macarons are some of the best I’ve had—light, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. The cakes and pastries are equally impressive, both in taste and presentation. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to grab a coffee and dessert. The staff is always friendly and helpful, adding to the overall great experience. If you’re in Detroit and have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit!

I have been ordering my littles birthday cakes from here for about 2 years now and they NEVER disappoint! I am getting another one today! The consistency is what’s important to me in baking/cooking and the passion is there. Give it a try! To add I have it delivered by doordash the day of the party is TOP-TIER. thank you 😊

The Love of Sugar is hands down one of the best bakeries in Detroit! Their cakes, macarons, and are next-level delicious, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients in everything they make. The presentation is always stunning, and the flavors are even better! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth or grab a treat for a special occasion. The staff is super friendly and helpful, always making great recommendations. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out! Highly recommend!

First of all can we just talk about the aesthetics of this place!!! I stumbled across this gem on IG and had to indulge, and I’m so glad that I did! I LOVE carrot cake and theirs was superb, they offer you to bring it to room temperature which was definitely a plus, like who else does this? I paired it with their house coffee and sat back to take in the ambiance! Definitely a place to go if you want to meet a friend, or read a book, I’ll definitely be back and highly recommended!

From cozy corner booths to comfy tables, we were so impressed by this old feel, but new vibe restaurant. Ohh, the in house made croissants and jams. Then I had the salad and French onion soup. Both were delicious. Will return in the summer to sit outside and enjoy another tasty meal. Thank you to our very kind, conversational waiter as well.

This was my first visit, and there were five of us for brunch. Very cool building with very cool decor downtown in the D! They have a very nice outdoor bistro area overlooking the hustle n bustle of city life. I had the Butternut Squash with Creme Fraiche and the Wild Mushroom tart. I will go back for the soup alone! Best creamy and rich butternut squash soup I've had. Chef's kiss 💋 The Mushroom tart was delightful. It was light, made with puff pastry. My friends all ordered Quiche Lorraine and said it was very good and quite fluffy. For a little dessert I chose the Lemon Financier which is like a Barbie size lemon pound cake. It was moist onside and crispy outside, just the way I like it. We all will be coming back her for more!

La Supreme is a true gem—a restaurant that hits all the right notes with elegance, flavor, and atmosphere. Every dish we tried was particularly well done, crafted with care and precision that made the entire evening feel special. I started with the salade verte and the mussels—both were absolute perfection. The salade verte was just as much a pleasure to look at as it was to eat: vibrant, fresh greens arranged beautifully and dressed with a light, balanced vinaigrette that let each ingredient shine. The mussels were tender and flavorful, served in a savory broth that practically demanded you mop it up with bread. The bread basket was a standout. It came with three types: a classic baguette, a tangy sourdough, and a fragrant cranberry walnut loaf. Each was spot on in texture and flavor: chewy, moist, and perfectly crusty. It’s rare to get excited about bread, but this basket is worth the hype. Another star of the meal? The frites. True French bistro style—cut julienne, almost matchstick thin, and perfectly cooked to a golden crisp without being overdone. Light, crisp, and addictive. Service was friendly and attentive, though not particularly memorable—but that’s a minor note in an otherwise exceptional experience. The ambiance is fabulous and fun. They’ve done a brilliant job restoring the Book Tower, preserving the historic charm of the building while creating the cozy, bustling atmosphere of a true French bistro. From the moment you walk in, you feel transported—like you've stepped back in time to an elegant, bygone era in France. The details, the energy, the lighting—it all works together. One small tip: while I saw a range of attire, I did feel slightly under-dressed. “French bistro” in the U.S. seems to imply a slightly more elevated dress code than its French counterpart. I grew up in France and was expecting a more casual attire. Semi-casual or polished casual is the sweet spot. Highly recommend.

Our 2 person table was really tiny and felt shoved in a corner. Atmosphere, service and food were fantastic. We thought $18 for one piece of French toast was insane but their Norwegian salmon Benedict was delicious and worth the $21.

Booked for brunch for my husband’s birthday. We arrived, were greeted (acknowledged his birthday immediately) and sat us at a nice table/booth. Service was great - attentive, friendly and quick. Offered still and sparkling water. And then we placed an order for drinks (Mon Cheri and Stone love) and appetizers (chocolate croissant, deviled eggs, steak, tartar, mac & cheese) which arrived shortly. For a main we ordered the French toast to share and a side of bacon. After eating I still wanted to indulge so I ordered 1/2 dozen oysters and crème brûlée (which they graciously comped). The standouts were the creamy deviled eggs, fluffy French toast with a sweet cream and tart caramelized apples, and sweet custardy crème brûlée. Mac n cheese was great generous serving, perfectly cheesy and creamy. The oysters were also amazing! So good I forgot to even snap a photo. Everything was great but they missed on the steak tartare which was too salty to eat and the salad greens were undressed. Despite this small hiccup, I cannot wait to return for dinner.

What an amazing experience! First off we were welcomed warmly and the restaurant was very inviting, as well as interesting. While waiting to be sat at our table you couldn’t help but to look around and take in all the beautiful and unique decor. We were sat in a cozy corner near the windows so we had a full view of the place and could see all the happenings right outside too. Our waiter Joel was top notch and extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu and quick with recommendations or a kind word. Everything from the Wild Mushroom Tart, to the Trout, and the sorbet and cappuccino was exquisite, which is rare, it was literally perfect through the last bite! The menu was priced reasonably and worth every penny. Cannot wait to come back to Le Suprême to have another delicious meal. I hope everyone gives this place a try, it’s honestly a gem!

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with lovely French music playing in the background, creating a charming atmosphere. However, we were quite disappointed with the food. We ordered the beef tartare, but it was cut into very large chunks—far too big for a proper tartare—and lacked seasoning. It tasted overly raw and not flavorful at all. The escargots were extremely salty, with the overpowering taste of salty garlic and Parmesan being the only thing we could really taste. We also tried a mushroom toast (or something similar with mushrooms), and unfortunately, it was also overwhelmingly salty. We really wanted to enjoy our experience, but the food just didn’t meet our expectations.

A good German restaurant in Detroit. We came with a group for a birthday party and it was a good night. The staff were really nice, our server especially was great. The food was good if a bit pricey. The German beers were especially great. Recommended.

I’ve gone here twice - once with a group of girlfriends and last night with my guy to celebrate his birthday. The atmosphere is so lovely and cozy and everything I’ve eaten there has been beautifully curated with delicious, thoughtful and creative ingredients. Our server (I wish I remembered his name! He’s tall with gold rimmed glasses!) was pleasant, knowledgeable and attentive. Such a beautiful experience in a beautiful old neighborhood!

We visited Alpino for dinner and we did not have a reservation. The restaurant was fully booked but the host offered our party of five seats at the bar. The restaurant is small but well decorated and gives you the vibe as if you’re in a small town. Service was excellent, we had one server/bartender, and she did a phonemical job throughout our meal. She made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. The food was delicious with unique combinations that elevated each dish. The Rosti and Piedmontese Ragu were my personal favorites of the night (pictures 1 and 2). I would highly recommend you check out Alpino and make a reservation.

Good choice for alpine cuisine. The best items were the Wiener schnitzel and the chicory salad. The pizzoccheri was also excellent. I would avoid the panna cotta dessert.

Fantastic atmosphere - comfortable, casual but elevated. Feels like everyone is welcome in the space! Drinks are top notch - bartenders were amazing. Food was phenomenal - get the fondue & wienerschnitzel!!

We can definitely feel the creativity of the kitchen in every courses with a harmonious mix of savours. Just the perfect combo with the right wine and beer. A special mention for the desserts with real flavors and controlled sweetness. We really appreciate the professionalism of the waitress who was knowledgeable and pleasant. Finally a place where we can hear each other and discuss without shouting. Thank you!

The service was great, the wine list offered many choices, and the food preparation was 100% authentic! We had pasta with ragu from Piemonte, venison goulash, and the nuts' pie. Everything was excellent, even for my picky standards.

Our recent dining experience at a the statler restaurant was exceptional. The menu offered a superb selection, and our server provided outstanding service, expertly guiding us through the food and beverage options. Her thoughtful gesture of a complimentary anniversary dessert was a delightful surprise.

Got to the restaurant 20 minutes before our time but we were still seated promptly. Service was great and the food was exceptional. Definitely a place to eat with great service and food. Not a 1 n done for us..

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I came to celebrate my birthday with a party of four. We all ordered the tasting menu. With exception the delicious calamari, not one other dish was properly prepared or appetizing. The Escargot was surprisingly not in the shell, as this was not specified on the menu. Instead, they were served in a soup bowl with an unrecognizable sauce. The Salad Lyonnaise was topped with a poached egg with a hard, rather than soft yolk, as is customary, and the dressing was so sweet, I couldn‘t eat it. The French Onion soup tasted like vinegar. The short ribs were so salty they couldn‘t be eaten. The salmon was over-cooked and the sole was watery and mushy - the texture of baby food. The mocktails were missing the main “peach“ ingredient. Instead of letting us know they were out of peach flavor, they simply sent the drinks the table without it. The waitress did all she could to try to make things right, but we‘d honestly lost our appetite. The bill came to over $500 before the tip and upon arriving home, I saw that we’d been charged separately for desserts that were supposed to have come with the tasting menu. Having eaten French r restaurants around the world, I‘ve come to expect a much higher standard of dining at that price. This was my first visit to the Statler and I was excited to come after hearing so many positive things about it. I won‘t be returning.

Variety of food options to please everyone. Lovely atmosphere. Wasn't a fan of the mezcal drink, but did enjoy the smoked old fashioned!

We all truly enjoyed our time at the Statler. I felt the food was exceptional, atmosphere was upbeat and proper yet still homey and down to earth, staff was attentive and pleasant to interact with. I had calamari, Caesar salad, gnocchi with chicken, and a mule (cocktail). Was able to try friends Bolognese, and some of the halibut as well. Everything just delicious. Interestingly, I felt the price was very good for such a great dining experience and fine food. Overall loved it, can’t wait to come back and try a couple other dishes. Thank you

We had a date at The Statler, I ordered the confit and my partner had the burger which they really enjoyed. Mine came with a side of artichokes and they were cooked to perfection. The fries that came with the burger were also phenomenal. Overall The Statler was good and I would like to come back sometime.

It was a cold rainy winter night, so tucking the 5 in our party into a booth we’d reserved for 6:30 PM was nice & cozy. Dinner was very nice; just not perfect. No longer able to drink alcohol but wanting a festive beverage, I opted for one of the “mock tails”; one featuring raspberry & mint. Not a hint of either of those flavors were tasted by me or another of my party who had a sip & the flower & blueberry garnish just didn’t fit the drink. In fact everyone order a different drink (all others with alcohol) & everyone had the same 3 blueberries on a toothpick. Things got better with the starters - loved the burratta with hot honey & the mussels & our salads. Our entrees were also very good. Loved my duck (seemed like a confit) & the beef dishes were very good though 2 of the party would have liked the sole but it was not available. As it was my birthday, I chose a chocolate cake, also very good & my husband & I ordered cappuccino’s. These came to us warm, nowhere near hot. Our waitress was lovely but we were a bit rushed by other staff wanting to clear plates before we’d finished them.

Bommarito is awesome! They have great pizza and great pastries. I labeled it four stars instead of five because of the sauce. I believe they needed more sauce. Everything else seemed to be great. I'm glad they are heavy on the toppings. You definitely get the right amount of toppings when you come here. That pizza was cooked the right amount and the staff was friendly! I will definitely go back.

Everyone was saying who's Italian sub was better, so I had to try it. It was good, I can say the inside compares to Ventimiglia's, which I did order the hard bun. This bun was really crusty, very good, just like I was expecting everywhere else, but didn't get until here. The people are friendly.

No longer "Under the Radar" great Pizza..bread as well, pastry counter a must visit also. Service was top notch. The lady who took care of me..had a smile that lit up the place. I'll be going back for sure, those of you who haven't checked this place out yet, do so.

I’ve seen reviews that the pizza was bland and I can agree with that only because I love extra sauce and they don’t put a lot on it. It’s typical for an Italian bakery though so I can’t knock a star off for that. Had the round pepperoni and a plain cheese and it was good quality every one in my house loved the dough and how it tasted. This will be my go to place for pizzas. Next time I’ll try the square because that looked great as well.

My husband and I visited the store for the first time. I must say what we ordered was just OK we ordered two subs. The bread was so hard that we ended up throwing both sandwiches away. The lady that waited on us did not use gloves after handling charge cards and money, we ended up throwing that away too the lease that they could do Is used gloves after waiting on each patron. We will not be visiting the store again as we came from a long distance from hearing about the location on television.

My family has gone there since the original shop was open on Cadillac in Detrot. The cannolis are the best ever nothing compares. They are a great family that carries on a wonderful tradition.

I live on the west side of the state now with not a single Italian bakery in sight *sob* how lucky that Bommarito's is right around the corner from my mom's. Love their cannoli, anise toast, Italian chocolate chip cookies and terrasini pizza.

My daughter’s Sweet 16 cake turned out not only absolutely Beautiful but was also delicious! I cannot thank Josef’s enough for making it exactly the way we wanted! If your in need of a cake for a special occasion I 100% recommend this bakery they will not disappoint!

Very very good service, was helped right away, and they put writing on the birthday cakes, the cakes were delicious, the brownies were stale… but no big deal, also, don’t like how I was charged a service fee to use my debit card, but all in all, it was a good experience.

Stopped by Josef’s for a croissant and coffee and wow was it good! This kittle italian bakery is cranking out some delicious pastries as well as cakes, breads, chocolates and sandwiches. Just the smell alone will you make you buy something!

Josefs did my wedding cake and it turned out amazing! Wish I could give more than five stars

The best Italian bakery in Michigan! I love their sandwiches, coffee, cappuccino, espresso, soup of the day, cakes, croissants, and most of all the freshly baked bread! The staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely back again and again for the roast beef sandwich!

My wife and I recently dropped in for tea and coffee. My wife follows a gluten-free diet and we told this to the clerk. She was very friendly, and she was able to direct us to a delicious crem brulee that my wife enjoyed. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Our whole visit was superb. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were outstanding. I would highly recommended Josef's.

We are so happy with our custom cake and pastries for our gender reveal / baby shower! Everything looked beautiful and tasted great as well. Thank you!

My wife moved here from Scotland and just became an American citizen. We love to order from Ackroyd’s as much as we can, especially when she is feeling homesick. They have the best black pudding, square slice, and macaroni pies hands down, but we love all the sweets and savouries. Plus, it is really nice to have the ability to purchase British grocery staples for our pantry or special occasions. Shipping is fast and free for large enough orders, which we appreciate. Thank you Ackroyd’s for your commitment to bringing my wife a quality taste of home:)

I ordered haggis and neaps and tatties for my friends to give them a taste of Scotland. The haggis was excellent, on par with most I had in Edinburgh. On top of it all, the owner saw my address was close by and dropped the food off for free. Excellent service, excellent food.

Great selection of Scottish goodies! Love to get the Cadbury chocolates at Christmas. My favorite is their sausage roll. Pick up only, no retail any longer, but their online site is easy to work with.

So note this is NOT a store. This place does curbisde takeout, you can browse the store online and order, otherwise the man let me come in brose the catalog and order. The only Scottish store in the whole of Michigan where you can get Haggis. The sign is really small.

Extremly kind/awesome owners, they have been open for 75 years, they show love/support and that’s Extremly rare nowadays, I will be spending my money here from now on, goodluck friends.

I went online and placed my order, giving the date and time I plan to pick it up. I called the phone number when I arrived and my order was brought right out to me . When we got home and heated them, the meat pies were amazing. Dreams do come true! I've always wanted double or triple meat. They finally made them the way I like them. In years past, I know the meat was getting thinner and thinner. Now they are perfect and so delicious. Everyone should enjoy, these freeze well and you can always pull one out for your lunch or have people over and put them all out. This was a review I left 6 years ago. Always a perfect place to buy lunch or dinner. Meat pies are great in the microwave for one minute if at work. Oven is best for a crunchy crust. We love them so much we can not wait. The deserts are addictive​ and remarkable. This place is worth the drive from anywhere! They ship too. Yes, try this place you will love them.

Although I didn't prefer the meat pies, their batteries and blueberry scones are out of this world. Better than any box or bag of scones I've ever purchased and made. Can't wait to try the Mac and cheese pies and review. Looking forward to review again! Wish I took a picture of before i inhaled them. Oh, we'll look at the pictures on their website.

Lovely French bistro atmosphere. Craft cocktails and pricey wine. I went there for brunch. Enjoyed duck leg and waffles and brioche French toast Elegant well stocked bar. The French toast was delicious but very rich. The blueberry compote that came with it was delicious. Reservations recommended but my friend and I were there around noon on Sunday

A great place to dine at if you’re in Detroit! Loved their simple menu, we sat at the bar and the service was extremely fast and friendly. I’m a sucker for any French style bistro and this one hits the spot. Their burger is solid, my only knock is that it’s a bit messy and falls apart but the flavors are all there so it’s worth getting. We also got a snapper crudo that was awesome and then the marble potato dish that was potatoes with crème fraiche and ham, that was just okay. Burger doesn’t come with fries so make sure you get a side of those too!

The food was wonderful. Our server Greg did a great job on timing out our courses. The special for the weekend was the veal, it was amazing. The chicken liver pate was great.

My friends and I finally got to try Bar Pigalle. Very nice establishment. The staff was inviting and attentive, and the dishes had excellent plate presentations and were delicious.

I don’t want to be dramatic, but the smash burger at Bar Pigalle might've changed my life. I took one bite and heard a choir of angels—or maybe that was just me sobbing with joy. Either way, 10/10. The staff? Lovely. The service? Smoother than jazz on a Sunday morning. The atmosphere? It made me feel cooler than I actually am (which is impressive). Seriously, if you haven’t been… go. If you have been… why aren’t you there right now?

I visited with a party of six for Sunday brunch. It's a very nice place. The decor is in alignment with the theme. I would expect it to be a white table cloth and napkin vibe, with a maitre d that only speaks French. However , The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The music also lets you know they know where they are and don't want to stray too far from their natural environment yet still keeping it classy. The drinks were great with a very reasonable strength to them. We had the Petite Maman and the Catamaran Cooler and of course Mimosas. We all liked our drinks enough that we did not order something different for the additionals. The food was excellent too. I had the Steak and Eggs with my egg scrambled instead of sunny. It was hands down, THE BEST I've had anywhere. Others in my party had the Cinnamon Brioche French Toast, Pigalle Burger, and the Duck and Waffles. Everyone enjoyed their food. This place is pricey but I really enjoyed it. I can say that I will visit again.

The host was very sweet and accommodating. Our server was wonderful and the additional staff helping on the floor were also friendly and prompt. The environment was warm and intimate. As the sun went down the lights inside also dimmed. It was a bit darker than I would have liked. The restaurant itself is not big and I would strongly recommend reservations. Decided to have my birthday dinner here and it was a great choice. Began dinner with the Butternut squash salad which was good. I wish the butternut squash had been roasted a bit and the salad was dressed more. The pecans were great and I loved the tart from the cranberries. We also decided to order the Brussel sprouts as part of the start and truly the best Brussel sprouts I’ve ever had. It’s going to be something I try to remake at home. For dinner Duck Confit and Steak Frites. Duck was served with sweet potatoes and salad on the side. It was wonderful! Salad again not really dressed but I loved all the components together. Steak was cook perfectly how we ordered, the fries were amazing. Thin and crispy. Also ordered the mushroom gratin, and if you love mushrooms I would recommend it. It was good. But a bit heavier than I would have liked. Dessert we ordered blueberry tart with lemon ice cream. It was really good. Also ordered the pumpkin gateau. It was good. I wish the squash ganache was not so salty. But it was served with a Tweel on top which was great and the frosting and cake itself were great. The cake was light and fluffy. The restaurant brought out a crème brûlée For my birthday and it was okay. The sugar was cooked a bit too far and the custard itself was a bit more loose than I would have liked. But flavor was there.

BEST COFFEE SHOP IN DETROIT!! I love Cafe Sous Terre and have been a regular customer for the last 10 months. They have the best iced mocha lattes (they aren’t too sweet-just perfect). I also enjoy the chocolate croissants and always grab one when they’re available. The environment is perfect for getting work done or chatting with a friend or two. My lab and I just celebrated a surprise baby shower for someone and took the corner booth. Staff were very accommodating and even took a photo of our entire group. I really love this place and am so glad it’s close to campus. It’s also a nice place to come for a few drinks. I love bringing people here to the bar when it’s their first time in the city. It’s the coolest place and very unique. I’ll be a regular customer here for sure.

I love studying here such a cozy environment! Coffee is always really good, everyone who works here is so kind & welcoming, and the food is great! I tried the mushroom quiche the other day and it was unreal. The bagels are decent too. They also enforce no laptops or ipad after 5pm which is great if you want to go somewhere to chat with no tech around.

The small intimate vibe is my thing, but definitely don’t like when I can’t find somewhere to sit. Difficult to find seating, but either way it’s a great drop-in/by spot for coffee and pastries. Awesome people plus they bring your food to the table with a big smile. Check this place out!

The food and drink was great! The service took a little while but it was busy when we got there. The quiche Lorraine was great!

Very cute little place that you might easily miss if not paying attention. Located in the basement of an old house, it has an incredible atmosphere, chill music playing just loud enough to be heard, but without interrupting conversation. Latte is fantastically made, with a nice little sugar crust on top. Went with the toasted everything bagel and plain cream cheese. Perfect little $brunch snack "while waiting between appointments. Will certainly keep this place on my radar for my visits to this area.

The barista was very knowledgeable & friendly. I told her it was my first time here so I would do whatever she recommends for a latte. It tasted great! Will be back to take in the ambiance, as I was on the run & had to get my order to go. Love how this cafe is kind of hidden & you have to walk down the stairs - gives it more personality.

Although the layout and decor is nice, it is a bit too dark and did not feel welcoming as the staff didn’t seem friendly, I stood at the counter for several odd seconds before giving a hello to the blonde haired cashier who apparently didn’t feel compelled to speak to my partner or I. The cappuccino had good flavor but it was lukewarm. Also, the croque monsieur had good flavor as well but a bit too much cheese made it gooey.

First time i ever came here they greeted us with complimentary champagne because it was my birthday, and each time is a wonderful experience. I love being able to look at all the wine in the wine room and always try a new dish. Best basque cheesecake around!!! Incredible food. Great small plates. Absolutely beautiful design and interior

My wife and I dined here and thought the service was great. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and very helpful in explaining the whole experience. The food was hit or miss. It seemed a little too experimental for some of the dishes, but other dishes were fantastic. We agreed that the cheesecake with brandy sauce might have been the best cheesecake we've ever had. The price was ultimately a bit of a shock at the end for the meal we ate. If we had enjoyed every dish we got I think it may have been acceptable, but that wasn't the case. This place I'm sure will resonate with people, unfortunately we seemed to not be the audience.

Ladder 4 offers a fantastic dining experience in a beautifully repurposed firehouse. The spacious and comfortable seating adds to the relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and even after indulging in a variety of offerings, we left feeling satisfied but not overly full. The waitstaff was an absolute pleasure—attentive, friendly, and gracious, even when they accidentally spilled a bottle of water. They handled it with professionalism and a smile, even throwing in an extra dessert as a kind gesture. A must-visit for great food, great service, and a unique setting!

Ladder 4 is a very cool spot. We tried most of the menu. The sourdough bread is awesome. The snap pea dish was my favorite. The morel mushroom dish was good but the sauce was a little heavy and overpowering. Fried chicken was good. I enjoyed the beers. The desserts were ok. Great ambiance.

We had a wonderful experience here - now one of my detroit favorites! Food was fantastic, wine selection was excellent, and servers and staff were incredibly kind - special thanks to Tyler! I highly recommended the sourdough bread, chicory salad, swordfish steak, mille feuille (melts in your mouth!). My only wish was that the cannellini beans had cooked a bit longer to be more soft and smooth.

Incredibly impressed! If I lived closer we'd have a problem because I'd want to give them all of my money. We sat at the bar and had the full dining experience that was amazing. We asked for recommendations for everything because you have to ask the experts and we were so thrilled with all of the bartenders picks. The plating and flavors of everything we had were phenomenal. Shout out to the lemon pasta, holy smokes, so simple but so delicious, if you're there with multiple people you're gonna want to order a few of those because it's far too good to only get a small bite. The asparagus with gribiche and roe was so good and looked so gorgeous on the plate. I could have just eaten a big plate of that although I'm that's not the healthiest choice. Cheesecake is an absolute must, so airy and light with a beautiful char to add some depth of flavor. Highly recommend for your next date night/celebration!

Ladder 4 Wine Bar was one of the most unique and adventurous meals I've had in Detroit. The chefs combined flavors that I never could have imagined, yet they somehow worked! You absolutely MUST get the cheesecake. I've never enjoyed cheesecake so much in my life! The restaurant's atmosphere makes you feel "cool" just by being there. The waitstaff was incredibly professional and friendly. They made the restaurant feel upscale but not stuffy or pretentious.

The restaurant, Coeur—which means “heart”—offered a fantastic vibe with a modern flair and chic setting. The open kitchen was stunning and added an energetic touch to the atmosphere. The company was excellent, and both the servers and cooks were pleasant and polite. The potato croquettes had a nicely seasoned exterior, but the interior lacked flavor. The little gem salad, essentially a Caesar salad, was decent but unremarkable. Unfortunately, the well-done burgers we ordered were dry. While it’s a common belief that well-done burgers are always dry, that’s not universally true—I make juicy well-done burgers at home. On the other hand, the ribeye steak, cooked to a perfect medium, was fantastic, complemented by an amazing sauce. However, the fingerling potatoes weren’t to my liking, as they were overly lemony. The house bread—a sourdough served with spicy Sumac butter and sage brown butter—was absolutely incredible. I will definitely come back to this place and try a different dish. It’s the kind of restaurant where the ambiance and creative menu invite you to return and explore more of what they have to offer.

We went for brunch and there were tons of open tables. The eggs Benedict may be the worse I’ve ever had. It lacked flavor and the vegetable pancake leaves a coating in your mouth. The pork belly was a bit soft, not crispy. The egg was perfectly poached. The chicken cordon bleu was pretty good. The breading is very thick. The mushroom sauce around it was delicious.

The experience here is INCREDIBLE, we had the best time. We did the tasting menu and would recommend it to anyone going, the service was a bit slow but they were slammed busy so it was totally understandable. They actually were the ones to point out to us that their service was slower than normal, and upgraded one of our meals to apologize so instead of the smoked lamb chop they upgraded us to the wagyu steak and it was amazing. The sourdough cookies??? To. Die. For. And they’re zero waste because they turn their left over bread into the flour! Genius If you’re looking for a fun date night that has an amazing atmosphere and good food, this is where you should go!

I was excited to try this restaurant and was not let down! My boyfriend and I made a reservation for my birthday. We wanted to have the Five Course Tasting Menu but due to my food sensitivities, I was worried it wouldn’t work out. It turns out they were very accommodating and made us each a delicious meal. The cocktails were also lovely. The extra chocolate treat and the complimentary glass of rosé for my birthday were wonderful! The servers were all incredible as well!

Four of us went to dinner last night to celebrate a birthday and engagement. We did not. Have a reservation, so we had no expectations from the restaurant to do anything special, but to our surprise, they went all out!! The staff did everything to make the evening special from complimentary sparkling toast to a card. The food was exceptional and made fresh. From homemade pasta, bread , butters and desserts. Things a must experience.

Was excited to try this place!!! First impressions were strong - the waiter’s assistant/hostess was very very nice and accommodating. Definitely noticed this and greatly appreciated how thoughtful they were. The Negroni was good! I would say they have solid cocktails. Food was just okay. I think for the price I expected more. The croquetas I would pass - our waitress said most tables order this - I found them not super flavorful. Not bad but not worth trying. The mussels were good - the broth was good only suggestion would be to char the bread (our bread was very soft). The risotto had a good base flavor - black sesame threw me off. The scallops were good but not cleaned the best - were a little gritty. Cabbage flavor was good but salty. Overall I would say we had a solid experience. Based on the price and quality of food I am not sure I would come back. Maybe for drinks cause they were awesome and the service was great!

I'm a sucker for a tasting menu at restaurants. Tonight was one of the best I've ever had. It was an elevated fast food at Coeur in the fabulous Ferndale. First course was a version of the cherry lime slushee at sonic. No pics. I devoured the fish. 2nd course was a hash brown with chic-fil-a sauce, 3rd course was a take on KFC, 4th course was a big mac and last Wendy's Frosty. OMG. And we are here celebrating lukes birthday. They brought out some rose wine and some little heart gummies at the end with a card signed by the staff. How cool. The personal touch really says something about this restaurant. Wait staff was knowledgeable and so friendly. You won't be disappointed.

Fresh bagels, warm welcomes, and terrific atmosphere! Would recommend if your a breakfast person; looking to get some work done with an economical meal deal; looking for a chill spot to start your day. The team is always smiley, cheerful, and eager to make conversation and offer thoughtful suggestions and recommendations to make sure your order is too your liking. This is a terrific place to focus and fuel up; which they encourage with their awesome $5 work-day deal! Which includes a bagel + cream cheese and a drink (OJ (fresh pressed) or coffee). Not a half bagel either a whole bagel and smeared with a cream cheese of your choice. DIB is a regular work/read spot especially since they make the bagels fresh (which you can see sometimes!) so it has great smells, delightful flavors, and tasty cream cheese flavors too.

I went yesterday for a quick snack. Although they were out of a lot of bagel flavors, it gave me the chance to try something I wouldn’t have usually gotten so I got the Asiago bagel with the scallion cream cheese and babyyyyyy, it was SO GOOD! I got their plain cream cheese too in case I didn’t like the scallion one and even that one was good. It didn’t taste like your regular Philadelphia cream cheese. I will be back. Only thing I’d do differently is not get my bagel toasted, it made it kick of tough but other than that, 10/10

Holy hell I need an Indianapolis institute of bagels. Great spot and even better bagels. The exterior has the perfect crust to it with the inside having the perfect softness and chew, incredible bagels. The Rosemary Olive Oil had the perfect amount of mouth watering salt too that out the sandwich over the top. Can’t remember the last time I finished a full bagel sandwich but this was gone in 5 seconds and I was left looking for more. We ended up getting 3 dozen for the strikers as well without ordering ahead and the team was super helpful and accommodating with the large order on a busy Saturday morning. Will definitely be back when visiting Detroit again.

Great bagels, and excellent breakfast sandwich spot. Rotating specials are delicious, and surprising large indoor dining space. There is also nice outdoor seating and did I mention the bagels are great?!

Never Would've Thunk it - Great food. Cool place. Nice outdoor seating - in a spot that you just wouldn't expect a cool bagel place. Google it. Find it. And go.

I was here on a Monday morning and had a really good experience. There is a ton of seating, both for groups and individuals. Only one wall has 2 outlets so if you need to plug in and it's crowded it might be hard. But that's the constraints of the building. I really hope they do outdoor seating when it gets warmer, the courtyard looks so inviting! It was clean, service was good, food was great, wifi was free and fast. I was here for a few hours working and saw someone cleaning tables pretty quick after people left, and the bathroom was clean and well supplied. It definitely didn't get crowded, but it usually wasn't totally empty. There are 2 bathroom stalls, and I don't think the bathroom doors or any of the front doors have an automatic door opener. I really appreciate that the music wasn't super loud lol, I could hear myself think. And in the industrial styled space it could start to echo badly. Plus it wasn't top 40 lol I walked here, so no comment on parking. I had a black coffee for 3 dollars and change, and a toasted lew bagel sandwich, it had just the right amount of saltiness from the capers. An appropriate amount of salmon for $14. I haven't tried the bread but I'm excited to have it fresh baked so close to me. Can't wait to go back!

Even though we got here late and a lot of the yummies were sold out...we were able to experience the matzah ball soup, Turkey, Bacon and Avocado on sourdough and my Le Rouge on a Challah roll and also took home the last plain bagels and 3 of the cinnamon raisin bagel. Will be back earlier next time.

I really enjoyed the hot drip coffee from Cafe Noir! It wasn’t my personal favorite, mostly because I prefer cozy vibes with nice seating since I’m a student. It was a little sterile, but this is great if you are looking for that sleek/modern vibe! They have beautiful artwork inside and out of the building. I’d definitely be back to try a latte or cold brew :)

I absolutely adore this coffee shop! The atmosphere, pastries, and seasonal drinks were all so amazing. Leah (forgive my spelling if incorrect) was so sweet and helpful and recommended amazing drinks for my friend and I. Will definitely be stopping back in soon! I reccomend the raspberry croissant and the strawberry matcha

Our family seriously loves this coffee shop. The French vibe is apparent with their cool marble tables and the black and white theme. Plus the coffee is sooo good and the pastries are delicious. A beautiful addition to this neighborhood :)

I actually really like this place! I didn't know anything about them and they are fairly new so I'm looking forward to them expanding their menu...my maple vanilla latte is delish...and that's a raspberry croissant bun btw

My kids and I were captivated by the ambiance at Cafe Noir—the cozy atmosphere, delightful music, indoor/outdoor easy seating and the delicious flavors of our vegan Mocha, Latte, and Hot Chocolate. On a scorching 100F day, the kind barista thoughtfully turned the hot chocolate into a refreshing chocolate milk for my youngest son. The art display elevates Cafe Noir to an elite coffee shop status, and the diverse crowd adds to its classy vibe right in the heart of downtown Detroit. Next time you’re looking to unwind with great music, a tasty drink, and support local art, consider Cafe Noir! I support any endeavor that brings everyone together 💗 and I could see the higher purpose of Cafe Noir to be just that🤗 while tasting a good cup of coffee ☕️! (And they recycle ♻️)

Immediately I fell in love with this quaint, warm coffee shop. The coffee shop was very clean, stocked nicely and the staff was friendly after I tipped. I love that the art gallery is attached to the coffee shop it was very nice to see the beautiful art pieces while waiting on my coffee to be made.

We tried one of each of the croissants, the Almond one was the winner for us! But they were all good! There were also really fun “benches” we sat at outside!

I don't even want to leave a review because it means other people will know about this place, and I want it to keep it all to ourselves. But this place is so good I need it to be massively successful. The drinks are super cute and fantastic. The cinnamon sticky bon is amazing. We ordered a small sample of everything, and each one was fantastic.

Had to check this new Filipino establishment! Clean environment, the baked goods not only looked good but are delicious! The ube flavor was authentic! Definitely coming back here.

We got the Savoury Special (biscuits, eggs, gravy), the cinnamon roll, Ube brownie, Ube cookies, Coco pan, Everything pan, Ube Coco Matcha, and an Ube Latte. Everything tasted great. The prices are great and the atmosphere is amazing. I would especially recommend the cinnamon roll if it's available. There is limited seating in the cafe so plan to take out if you're going at a busy time. Overall amazing and I'm so glad to have Philipino food making an appearance in the neighborhood!

Coconut & ube soft serve ice cream was very good! So was the cream cheese savory bakery item! Reasonably priced as well!!

Got the cassava cake, ube cookies, and pan de sal: all were great and the people were friendly. I definitely want the pan de sal again, but I hope they have a cheaper value pack soon! I also got an iced latte, which was super smooth and enjoyable. Most specialty bakeries don’t have good coffee, so this made me super happy. The wood vibe was awesome, and they have some merch available. I didn’t sit down long, but the table height might make it hard if you want to stay and try the treats there.

This is a MUST try in Detroit. We had the cinnamon sticky bun, ube brownie, pan de everything, and the savory special with their Ube Coco Matcha. Everything was amazing. Our favorite was the sticky bun and the ube matcha!!! We will be back 💜

Absolutely love JP Bakes and Makes! Their ube cookies and pastries are next-level—rich, flavorful, and totally addictive. The Filipino-inspired menu is full of heart, and the staff couldn’t be more warm and welcoming. A true Detroit gem!

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!

Showed up shortly after they opened to a long line around the corner!! The baked goods options were impressive. The hot dog danish was so creative and amazingly executed. Goat cheese tomato savory galette was one of my favorite bites. This is a must go spot!! Instagram: @funas_eats_it

We loved all 4 of the bakery items we selected they were fresh buttery & were delightfully tasty. Can't wait to go back. The staff was knowledgeable & friendly. A welcoming, cozy & calm vibe

Forest bakery is absolutely wonderful. The folks that own it are great people, and great bakers. I love that they always have at least a couple dairy-free options among their delicious and creative baked goods. The ingredient quality and the bake quality is fantastic. I am so proud of them for doing such an amazing job especially in our current economic and political climate. All of the baked goods and other items are still very reasonably priced considering the quality of ingredients and food cost

Forest Bakery Oak Park!!!!! Praise GOD! Have you been??? Have you been to the quaintest, most precious, culinary delightful bakery in…the entire world? (Ok, maybe not the entire world, but I can say, from my world perspective, this is true). I tried to go to one of the bakeries in Oak Park, that I have not gone to in years, but when I got there, it was closed (when it is supposed to be open on Saturday). Not giving up, I still wanted a sweet treat to drink with coffee. “Where can I go?” PAPA (GOD) popped into my mind, the new bakery I had heard about and then saw a couple of weeks ago, a line out the door, the day before Thanksgiving. (HE brought the memory to the forefront of my mind after I asked.) “Ahh, Yes! I wanted to try them out.” It is so tiny, literally, I think the width of the store front might be 15ft wide. When you approach, the air is scented with sugary butter, notes of fresh cofffee, cinnamon, and spices I can’t describe. Before I walked in, I knew by the aroma, that whatever is inside, will be delicious. The storefront is adorable, adorned with local artisan products, bakery logo apparel, quality coffee, and local farm products (like cheese, eggs, and spinach) you can purchase. I walk in, about an hour and a half after opening, and over 70% of the bakery case has already been cleared out. I expressed to one of the owners, that I have never been there and asked what to try. (I knew she was an owner because of the confidence and love for what she is doing in her eyes). She was kind, and humbly smiled, shrugged her shoulders while examining the case, she was unable to give a recommendation. I immediately understood the non-verbal communication, she was being truthful and couldn’t make a recommendation because she knows, everything here, is a good choice. I chose an apple butter almond vanilla custard danish and a slice of poppy lemon bread. Was blessed with slice of pumpkin loaf. She nodded her head with approval. (kinda like, yeah, that’s gonna be delicious-you will be back). My plan: I would try something today and another day, when the family is all together, I could bring them back if, the Forest Bakery had my stamp of approval. Also my plan: With the best of intentions of just tasting it, and saving the rest of it, to when I get home, I began to drive. I had the pre-meditative thought of sitting down with the relaxing cup of drip coffee I purchased, and I took a bite. “Wow! This is exquisite!” (I don’t know what I was expecting, something tasty or good would have been sufficient). But the crispiness, the delicate layers of buttery goodness, the clear distinct vanilla flavors burst through-Oh I don’t even know if I will make it door to door to my house, which is only 5 minutes away. I had clearly mistook this bakery as a local neighborhood bakery, instead of a portal to premiere bakery in France. While trying to savor the flavors, the fruit explosions of the apple butter, I devoured the entire good within minutes from the bakery to my home. Turn around! Get the entire family a danish, this experience is too good for only myself. How could I go back home raving and not have a morsel to share? I quickly drove back. Was probably only gone for 5-7 minutes. Within minutes, they had sold out. They apologize in a way, that demonstrated that they have had to say this line so many times. “We are sorry, it sells out quickly. First come, first serve, but we will have…” I get it. Hats off to you. So proud of you all for making your dream come true. We all get it. We will be here early. Bottom line. We can’t all go to France, but you should go, get to Forrest Bakery, and try one of their phenomenal baked goods. Then you too, can have an experience like I have now just had. Go check them out on Instagram. Well done, Humna, Jo, Kyle, and crew. Thanks to you, we get to experience culinary excellence from flavors around the world, on our side of the world. GOD Bless You and Enjoy! Get. The. Danish. AND…anything else. Worth. EVERY. Cent.

Some of the best croissants and pastries I've ever had. Worth the line! So happy I was finally able to make it in

Extraordinary bakery with kind, helpful staff and absolutely delicious pastries. Also a great place to pick up some pantry staples, like high quality coffee beans.

Stopped in and bought a loaf of sourdough. The owner was in, offered a sample, and shared the ingredients and time-tested approach that go into the sourdough: just starter, flour, water and salt. The result is wonderfully complex and flavorful. It made for great toast with butter and sandwiches.

My family and I are asian. When we came in, the staff is super moody, doesn’t welcome, and used phone all the time. But when my family brought white people to this place, the staff serviced them incredibly nice. What a standard. Even though the pastries are good. If you are Asians Beware! Maybe the staff doesn’t want any money from us.

This little bakery was wonderful. The woman working (sorry I didn't catch her name) was so nice and cheerful. The pastries were delicious and the coffee was great. I was very impressed overall. Will be back again for sure!

Great place, cappuccino was good, Heads up they offers almond milk and oat milk.

Everything from this bakery is delicious (and I've tried a lot)! My favorite items are the quiches and pretzels. But truly you can't go wrong with anything here and there is something for everyone. My favorite part of this location quite frankly is the face behind the counter, Donya. She is truly wonderful and I can always count on her for a pleasant experience and wonderful recommendations.

I hope this bakery/coffee spot sticks around forever. I go mainly for the great lattes but their baked goods are second to none. The location is perfect. And the woman who's often behind the counter is wonderful! Highly recommend.

love this place. all of their breads are really good especially soft pretzels, multigrain and sourdough. Donya is a hard worker and a pleasure to be around. *correction: i wish more of the dessert items were available dairy/egg free. im obsessed,,,,,need to try (everything).....special order?

ate a sandwich at vesper today made with the poppy seed bun, and after my first bite i said, "ugh, the mother loaf is so good at their job." jeremiah's doing some really beautiful work, probably some of the best sourdough i've had in all my years of bread eating. big fan.

The hazelnut cherry brownie is otherworldly <3

Best bread in Detroit.
