Bartz Bakery

This is a local gem!! Yes, the place takes ya back, but that's one of the things that makes this place special! Comfortable seating area for regulars. It looks like there are small groups that meet for coffee, company and some baked goods. This place has been around a long time and it is still here because it has heart! Their baked goods are delicious too! We won't forget that. Impromptu cakes, no problem. They always have some available. I have bought and have partaken in quite a few cakes and they are all moist, flavorful with tasty frosting that isn't greasy. Lovely buttercream! I love picking up their home made breads. Banana, cherry, strawberry and more! They have many many items to choose from, donuts, danishes, cookies and fresh baked breads. Take a look at their "day old" items, still great at a lower price. The service is always friendly, quick and welcoming. This place is worth a stop!

This pre-Paczki day weekend, we decided to try out and compare three different paczki bakeries. Bartz was second on our list. We hadn't been before, but it seemed like a Dearborn staple and a good place to get classic, old school paczki. When we stopped by on Saturday morning, there were a number of customers just lounging at the tables, sipping at coffee and nibbling on pastries. Seemed pretty promising! Service here was super friendly and quick, and we decided on getting a couple of different flavors. Paczki ($3.33 Each) - We got three flavors, the traditional prune, chocolate, and buttercream. I hadn't had prune filling before so I had to at least try it out. The prune comes in quite a thick jam and the prune taste was very strong. I guess if you like prune, you will like this? For me - let's just say there's a reason I avoided getting prune for this long haha. For the other two paczki, the chocolate filling tasted and felt like those Snack Pack chocolate pudding cups. The buttercream was less of a dense and stiff buttercream and more like light whipped frosting with a heavy powdered sugar/frosting taste. To be honest, I didn't really like any of the fillings here. The paczki were glazed like donuts and the texture and mouthfeel was very similar to that of a donut: light and airy, with uneven bubbles in the crumb. The fillings easily displaced/compressed the dough. It was not nearly as light as, say, a Krispy Kreme or commercial donut; instead, it was similar to a good quality home made yeast donut. To be clear - I could definitely tell it was not a donut - the crumb structure held together better and it had a bit more of a chew. It's just that out of the three bakeries I tried, this one was by far the most donut-like. I wish I had bought an actual donut from Bartz for a comparison! I personally would not get the paczki again from Bartz. They tasted good enough, but I don't think there's enough to differentiate them from a normal filled donut. I would, however, possibly go again to pick up other treats in the future. Of the three paczki bakeries we visited, Bartz had the most homey, classic vibe. Just your everyday neighborhood bakery slinging out yummy pastries and bread. It's not a place you go out of the way for, but it's somewhere for locals and people who happen to visit the area.

Bartz is a local bakery with solid baked goods and tasty treats. We always enjoy paczki from here for Fat Tuesday before Lent. We also enjoy their layered cakes like the Black Forest Cake. We also enjoy getting their Yule Logs for Christmas. They have a large variety of cookies, cakes, breads, rolls, and other pastries to try as well as a few non-sweet treat options. It's nice to shop local as well. Everyone is friendly and helpful when we call or go in. Thanks for all your years of service in Dearborn!

I've been going here for 20 plus years, I realized that I've never left a Yelp review. Bartz is an old school bakery, like the ones that have disappearing all over. Great place to grab some fresh bread, donuts, a birthday cake, etc.. We wanted donuts this morning, and I used Doordash to have them deliver. I ordered a dozen variety donuts, plus an apple fritter, a cream horn and 2 Napoleons. They gave us a great variety of donuts, some cream filled, a jelly, etc.. All were nice and fresh! The cream horn was nice and crispy, the apple fritter looked great. The Napoleons are something I always get there and they are always good. I usually get cream puffs there, they are always good. The variety that they have in store is amazing, I mean, how do they make so many different Things? Anyway, if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth, stop by and pick something up, you will leave with more than you thought. Btw, they make good paczki, Fat Tuesday is near!

This seems like your typical neighborhood bakery. I don't think it's anything life altering, but they're a solid place to go to.They had lots to choose from- donuts, pastries, cookies, cakes, and misc treats. The kolachy cookies are my favorite. The prices are definitely super reasonable and worth it. Bartz seems like a great community location, and I can see myself passing by from time to time.

Donuts are not as good as they use to be. Fillings are slim - even though donuts are smaller and should be filled. Prices are high for quality of pastries. Break is always fresh. Last few times Rolls have not been fresh and only lasted 1 day at home. Friendly service but I'm paying for good donuts like they used to have. This was the best bakery in Dearborn years ago but not anymore. I don't mind paying more for good quality, which is lacking here.

fresh bread each Saturday for breakfast at home. Sneak in a pastry too :) to top it all off.

We stopped by today and got a few things there. It was our first and last time. Even though goods look nice they weren't fresh at all. Dry poppy seed coffee cake, dry cherry danish and not tasty at all cherry square.I don't know how this place had so many happy customers.Their baker should take a class and learn from polish market

I ordered apricot pastries and they had no flavor. I thought it was my sinus cold. The apricot pastries taste old and that taste like they weren't completely cooked to return them. A coworker told me to return them that they were badPaczkis were OK. THE FILLING taste like cheap jelly/Bible gum taste. Yuk

Best Jewish white bread! Fantastic cakes and don't leave without the walnut crescent rolls...yum!
