Bread Me

It's a cutesy bakery located in Troy, MI. I have been frequently visiting this cozy venue ever since I discovered it! Their bakery goods are soft and delicious, and the owner and her staffs are always welcoming and kind. I'd recommend their Tiramisu, Cakes, Milk Bread, Pressed Croissant (all their croissant-based seems to do the trick for me), and Condensed Milk Bread. I also enjoyed their coffee and green tea latte. (more reviews to follow once I try more) Parking is plenty and spacious. They do seem to sell out rather quickly pretty often, so I suggest to visit early or call ahead (some goods are by pre-order only).

Bread Me is a newly opened Korean-French inspired bakery that sells a wide variety of sweet and savory pastries. It takes the place of the old La Choux location and opened only three weeks ago, making it the newest Asian bakery in Metro Detroit. We actually learned about the place through Too Good To Go and decided to give it a try - we were so impressed with the bakery that we went back inside right afterwards to pick up another pastry. Since this was only 15 minutes before close they were out of most items, but everything that remained still looked delicious. In total we got (including in our TGTG bag): Matcha Palmier Carre ($4.75) - This pastry is intriguing as it's baked in a rectangle and not in the normal palm heart shape. If you like dissecting pastries layer by layer, then this is for you! It's easy to take apart each crisp diaphanous layer with distinct crystals of sugar baked on top. While the palmier is not baked as tooth-shatteringly hard as other places, the variety of textures present is still very good. One side of the pastry is dipped in a white chocolate-matcha mixture. It's sweet and grassy, which plays well with the rest of the pastry, making it well balanced in sweetness. Overall, this palmier is baked well and tastes great. (4/5)Cream Soboro ($3.75) - This is a fluffy bun, with a top covered with a bumpy super fragrant peanutty topping. I don't think I've ever have a soboro with such fragrant flavor and crispness. It's cut in half with cream sandwiched inside. The cream is soft and not too sweet, with a smooth texture. Overall a great soboro. (5/5)Salted Butter ($3.00) - This has a vague resemblance to a croissant as it seems to consist of a flat dough rolled up, but the texture inside is nothing like a croissant. It's nice and chewy and more like a dense bread. Inside is a little void that goes down the entire length of the interior, likely from a butter filling that melted into the surrounding bread dough. The bread is very fragrant with the taste of butter and is a bit salty, from both the salted butter in the interior and a sprinkling of pretzel salt on the top. I didn't expect to like this pastry but after eating it, I found it to be one of my favorites. (5/5)Chocolate Canele ($3.50) - I haven't had good experiences with canele in the past so I usually swear off of them, but I found this one to be really good. This pastry has a deep chocolate flavor in both the cocoa that is incorporated in the batter, and also a chocolate ganache that is piped in the center divot on top. The top is then dusted with cocoa powder. This all contributes to a deep chocolate flavor. The exterior has a firm skin that adds great texture as you bite into it, while the interior is soft, moist, toothsome, and custard-like. The crumb looks good, with small air pockets interspersed throughout, not too wet and not too dry. (5/5)Vanilla Canele ($3.30) - The exterior of this canele seems to be a bit overbaked. it's to the point of being crunchy and has a bit of the acrid taste like it's on the cusp of being burnt. The interior still has the great texture as with the chocolate, but this time vanilla flavor. The interior isn't perfectly risen - it kind of congeals into a mass instead of having distinct pockets of air. It still tastes good, but the chocolate is superior. (4/5)Black Sesame Financier ($3.00) - If you like heavy black sesame flavor, this pastry is for you. The sesame flavor really explodes in your mouth, to the point where you can't tell if there's any other supporting flavors in this dish. There's a sweet black sesame icing on top, adding again to the sesame flavor. The bake is nice, with a crusty exterior and interior with a denser cake texture. The interior is a little bit dry but I had no issue with it. Think of it as somewhat of a dense pound cake. (4/5)Chocolate Financier ($3.00) - Similar to the above in texture, but with a great chocolate flavor in every bite. Yum! (5/5)Bread Me really does have some fantastic baked goods, way better than Tous Les Jours down the street. This will be a regular stop for me whenever I'm in Troy. I highly recommend stopping by and supporting this new business!Bathrooms - One unisex room.Overall rating of the food this visit: 4.57/5

I just came back from a trip to South Korea last week and am still hooked on Korean pastries, so I wanted to check out this bakery in Troy. We went a bit later in the day, closer to 3 PM, so a good amount of their pastries were already sold out, but there was still a good selection to choose from. We got a cookie croissant, flat croissant, earl grey dacquoise, milk dacquoise, and a chocolate dessert to share amongst friends. I had the cookie croissant and absolutely loved it and will 100% be stopping by for another one and will try to go a bit earlier in the day to see some of their popular items that were sold out when I went!

Love this place and the bread qualit is soooo good! Whoever made breads is excellent!! Will visit more often!!!

Drove 40 minutes because I heard they got canele, and honestly the drive was worth it.- Caneles had the signature crispy exterior texture and soft, moist filling. Not too sweet too. Both the chocolate and vanilla ones were good, but the chocolate would probably be better without the chocolate powder on top (caused mild coughing).- Light, delicate traditional style milk tea (I did ask for less sugar less ice) that would be nice served hot on a cold day.- Nice tarts, especially the cheese tart - again, difficult to find in the area. Tangy and sweet, not overwhelmingly cheesy.- Twisted donuts were what you expected it, sweet and fluffy. I like that they weren't oily.- Very quiet and empty in the morning when I dropped by. Clean and cozy place.- Very quick and friendly service.10/10 overall, would recommend.

Food is delicious with a great selection. The owner is very kind and always has a smile. It's a new place so it's nice inside and very clean.
