The Most Flavorful Bakeries in Detroit

Shatila Bakery - Dearborn

★★★★☆ 3.9 (881) • $$

"Shatila Bakery is a Detroit classic--everyone knows their pastries are unreal. The house-made chocolate, kanafe, and ice creams are all incredible, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.But somehow, not enough people talk about my absolute favorite thing--the Ashta fruit cups! They're so good. The only downside is that they sell out sometimes, so they're not always available. But if you see them, do yourself a favor and grab one!"

Astoria Pastry Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (518) • $$

"The desserts here are amazing. We stop here every time we go to the greektown casino. The employees are always friendly and hustle when it's busy. The interior is clean and tidy."

Ellen's Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (351) • $$

"My family enjoyed lunch from Ellen's Bakery and Café yesterday. I really liked the turkey and Brie sandwich, my little niece had a BLT. My mother had barbecue, so delish. They were easy to find and made life so much better. Let me just say we had a tough situation in our family and Ellen's staff, especially Red, helped save the day."

New York Bagel

★★★★☆ 4.3 (302) • $$

"I was passing through the area and really wanted to try place that made their own bagels. This shop didn't disappoint! I tried a deli sandwich and it was so good and tasted very fresh. It seemed like everything was made to order and you pick your fresh bagel at the time of your order!! Loved trying this quaint little shop and would recommend to anyone looking for a yummy, homemade bagel! :)"

★★★★☆ 3.9 (350) • $$

"Come here semi regular, always a great atmosphere and food.Made this place a regular place to get something to eat."

Avalon Cafe and Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (293) • $$

"Really cute cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Vegetarian and vegan options too. I had the wild mushroom avocado toast. Generous portion. The mushrooms were a bit salty for my taste and it overpowered everything else and I couldn't taste much avocado, but I enjoyed it overall. The steel cut oats bowl was tasty.Excellent service. Fun and colorful decor."

Papparoti US

★★★★★ 4.5 (212) • $

"I met up with a friend here before going to Aahar next door. My friend got the Karak tea and specialty bun and he was quite pleased with it. I got a chai tea latte and a Cinna-Bun and it was delicious. This place is usually rather busy and this was one of the rare occasions that it wasn't packed, so I was happy we were able to find a table. I will definitely come back again for a bun and tea."

Beirut Bakery

★★★★★ 4.7 (193) • $

"I finally stopped in here for lunch and so happy that I did! As soon as I walked in I was greeted and asked what could they get for me today. I told the lady it was my first time coming there and she got super excited and said well let me tell what we have!As she went through the menu and told me about all of their offerings, I was so excited by her kindness. They had so many things that I wanted to try but I kept it simple and just got a Chicken Shawmra Salad and a Chicken Shawmra sandwich. Both were very good and the a good portion size. I will most definetly be going back to try other items."

"Mother and daughter run operation here. The vibe here is incredible remember to ask for kitty. The cheesecake selection is the best I have ever seen. I swear to you that this place gets a lot of customers. I lost count at 5 as one by one they kept walking in the door. The purple rain cheesecake is my favorite grape tasty cheesecake.

Chief Humble and simple will always bring peace and success."

Dough makes a variety of GF and NF deli sandwiches to order, meat and cheese rolls, breads, pierogis, biscuits, pie and pizza doughs, quiches, soups, holiday charcuterie boards, and more.

Good Cakes and Bakes

★★★★☆ 4.3 (145) • $

"I've heard great things about this place and was very excited to try it. Parking is scarce around here but there is a parking lot across the street that you can park in. The shop is cute and clean and the employees are very nice. I tried a strawberry cake, a banana bread and a parfait and I can say the banana bread was my favorite. But I'm always partial to banana bread. Definitely try themOut if you are looking for a good sweet!"

Peteet's Famous Cheesecakes

★★★★☆ 4.4 (128) • $$

"My friends in Miami and Rotterdam organized having a Peteet's Superman cheesecake delivered to my house for my 40th birthday this year. I wasn't expecting it, and the delivery came from DoorDash, but the entire process was easy, and the cheesecake was delicious, as a fan of Superman ice cream. The cheesecakes was light and flavorful, and most importantly a swirl of red, yellow, and blue. Ten slices came to a whole, which I ate more of thanI expected to, but sometimes a slice of cheesecake is the perfect breakfast. I am anxious to try other flavors they offer and their carrot cake! And happy to support an Oak Park Business."

Natalie's Bakery Michigan Made

★★★★★ 4.5 (121) • $$

"I got a pack-of-6 as a gift, and loved it!Lemon - predominant creamy/buttery flavor with a subtle, but definitely noticeable lemon flavorOrange - light orange flavor that leans towards the "fragrant" side as opposed to its citrus/sour sideToasted Almond - nostalgic; reminds me of the almond cookies I had as a kid. Coffee - strong coffee flavor and dusted with coffee grounds, which gives it a very mild bitter contrastChocolate - surprisingly mild; comparably subtle as the citrus macaronsBirthday Cake - so nostalgic; made me feel like a kid againThoroughly enjoyed all of them. The birthday cake flavor was easily my favorite though! I'd happily give this a 5, but could argue that that the macarons at le bon macaron are somewhat better. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong when I hopefully get a chance to visit in person!"

Luca Pastry

★★★★★ 4.6 (115) • $$

"So delicious!!!!Easy online ordering, great packaging and everything we tried was dynamite.A great bakery is long overdue in Canton. For some reason other bakeries in metro Detroit don't update their sites with hours, pricing & available varieties. Luca keeps up with all of that."

Vito's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (134) • $$

"been coming here for years--husband feels that this is the best bakery in all of macomb county--went here for their yummy paczkis yesterday--place was packed--understand that andiamo's owns this place now...."

La Gloria Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133) • $

"Two words. CHOCOLATE CANNOLI. The yelp Detroit page posted their cannolis on their instragrm page and I HAD to grab them. The shop is really small but they have a wide variety of fresh baked goods. The prices were reasonable, and you can grab an amazing picture of the bridge to Canada."

The Home Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (165) • $$

"Amazing bakery! Amazing products!I went to see in person the Amon Ra St Brown cake....I was not disappointed! In my pre going there research...I saw that they have done multiple amazing cakes like this in the past! I got there about 1pm on a beautiful sunny Friday. There was a lot of buzz outside!The line to get in the store was not too long, so I stood and admired the display cake as I waited to sample their wares. Once in, the bakery items were quite enticing. From thinking I'll just get a couple of cookies to...1 of each cookie type they had (6!) And some AMAZING looking cinnamon rolls to enjoy the next morning, I walked out with quite a haul! Everything was fantastic! The cinnamon roll was not only gorgeous and perfect looking...it had to be the best I've ever eaten! Looking forward to going back again soon!"

iFreeze Creamery

★★★★★ 4.9 (94) • $$

"Yum! My family and I ordered this through DoorDash and I must say it was truly delicious. We each tried one of their specials and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The browned marshmallows they put on top of some of their sundaes tasted like a real campfire-roasted marshmallow. So good! I look forward to going back and trying some other flavors."

Sweet Dreams

★★★★☆ 4.3 (110) • $$

"I really like this bakery and whenever I visit the Kroger nearby and drop in and pick up something sweet! The staff here are very helpful and will answer any questions you have regarding taste or allergy to the best of their knowledge. I mainly come here for their carrot cake but always end up leaving with a few more slices of something! Especially their fruit flan and lemon bars. In addition they have wedding cakes, cookies and other types of pastries to choose from. The next time I come back I promised myself to grab a few cheesecakes I've had my eye on!"

Mia's Bakery & Coffee Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (99) • $

"My friends and I came here to specifically try out their coffee flight! I'm a traditionalist when it comes to my coffee, so I was on the fence about all of the different flavors, but there was not a flavor that I didn't like! I was most skeptical about the lavender, but it was very mild! My daughter loved their hot chocolate! The workers at the front counter were patient and helpful while I made my decisions. The shop is spacious, and the decor is fresh with beautiful murals on the wall. Plenty of parking because they are in a strip mall. A nice place to stop in and catch up with your friends!"

Street Sweets

★★★★☆ 4.3 (108) • $$

"A gem tucked away in strip mall in Sterling Heights. Street Sweets is a great place to come if you just gotta have that sugar fix. I always get the Triple Sweet Iced Latte. Of course I never remember the name and just end up asking for the Iced Carmel Latte with three donuts, and by then the staff usually know what I'm talking about. I tend to pick the same latte but I try to mix it up each time with the donuts. This time I picked the Oreo, Fruity Pebbles, and Strawberry Sprinkle. They're are tons of choices to choose from. They all tasted amazing but I feel like the strawberry sprinkle was my fave. Overall tasty and a sugar RUSH. In addition to the Iced Lattes and donuts, they have cake, waffle pops, vegan cookies + more. If you're ever in the area you have got to stop by. I'll definitely be back to try the Waffle Pops!"

Mexicantown Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (117) • $

"We made an impromptu visit to Detroit's Mexicantown neighborhood on an unseasonably warm day. The bakery is across the street from Clark Park, has easy street parking, and had the most amazing selection of sweet treats. And then we saw the case of warm savory items, and our lunch plan was set - empanadas and treats in the park. The hardest thing was picking, and the Buttercream Yo Yo won. It was huge and flavorful and satisfying. The two empanadas I tried were equally good - one with chicken and one with ham and cheese. The prices were great and the service was friendly. Definitely recommend!"

Bloomfield Bakeshop

★★★★★ 4.5 (97) • $$

"Yummy cupcakes is one of my favorite bakeries in Oakland county. In addition to cupcakes they also sell cookies and macaron's with all types of flavors to choose from. My FAVORITE cupcake here is the vanilla bean. It may seem simple, but I think when it comes to desert sometimes less is more. I'll order four at a time sometimes just because they're just that good. By the drive home I'll only have two left! They also carry vegan and gluten free options as well which is a nice touch. The owners have always been very kind and they're fast as well. There is also a reward system that allows you to earn points for every purchase. It's tucked in a plaza on Woodward/Long Lake that you would most likely miss driving by but they are worth the visit!"

Christine's Cakes & Pastries

★★★★☆ 3.6 (138) • $$

"Wow! Highly impressed! This review is for the 2 cakes I was able to sample this weekend. I cannot comment on the service personally, as I did not visit this location. But after sampling 2 cakes from Christine's Bakery, I can tell you that I will be back in the future to purchase some of her amazing creations for my own parties. We attended a double birthday party this past weekend for some very close friends. The wife/mother of the birthday persons purchased 2 cakes from Christine's and couldn't stop raving about how delicious they were. She told me she always gets her celebration cakes from Christine and has never been disappointed, nor has her guests. The one cake for our friend's 50th was the ever so famous "Bumpy Cake", which if you don't know is a famous cake from Sanders in Detroit. This riff on the Detroit classic, may have, in my books, surpassed the original. I don't even like sweets, and especially not chocolate. But for the sake of writing a review, I tried both cakes. And I have to say, if I did like sweets- this would be dangerous for me!! I could see this cake being addictive for some!! It was a chocolate fudge cake made with rich Devil's food cake, a thick center of the most luscious buttercream and finally draped in a delicious fudge icing, crowned with chocolate sprinkles. For as rich as this cake sounds, it surprisingly wasn't. It was just damn good. The buttercream was smooth and rich, the cake was light and oh so moist, the draping of fudge icing was perfection! I see why this is one of the top sellers at this bakery! The other cake for the 13yr old daughter was just as amazing and beautifully decorated. It was the Strawberry Shortcake. It had 3 layers of yellow cake filled with fresh sliced strawberries, iced with whipping cream and garnished with fresh strawberries and white chocolate shavings. If I thought this cake looked delicious- my taste buds confirmed it! It was rich and delicious with super fresh strawberries complimented by a smooth and light buttercream complete with amazing white chocolate. Both cakes, hands down blew me away! I was so thankful that my friend let us take a few slices of each home, so the kids could enjoy them too. They were literally fighting over the last few bites. To say I was impressed with both cakes from Christine's, would be an understatement. I know where I'll be getting my next specialty cake from! Definitely recommend!"

Julian Brothers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (102) • $

"This little jewel is a real find. Great selection, fresh, and delicious foods, and goodies. I moved to Ann Arbor several decades ago, and still have to stop in several times a year to pick up something. Oh, very nice and helpful staff too. Just love this place!"

Sweet 220 Pastry & Specialty Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.4 (81) • $$

"They did an amazing job on my girlfriends bday cake. Holiday cakes and pies are a staple for our family. The cheesecakes are a favorite and the cupcakes are perfect treats to take to work. Staff is amazing and goes out or their way to make your order special."

Marias Italian Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (87) • $

"Love Maria's! They're sandwich are a must try if you haven't yet, and their baked good are delicious."

Crumbl - Sterling Heights

★★★★☆ 3.7 (104) • $$

"Obsessed! Wish it wasn't so good, my bank account loves it too much and I keep going back each week for the new flavors!"

Achatz Pies of Beverly Hills

★★★★☆ 4.2 (80) • $$

"I really like their pies. Except I had one pretty bitter Michigan Berry. I think it was. It was stingy on the sugar. The lemon, apple, & pecan are delicious. The staff is polite & quick. I'll try another Michigan Berry before I pass judgement because I enjoyed everything else."
