Diamond Bakery

I stopped by here with a friend today after we had lunch at Pickles and Rye Deli next door. I grew up in West Bloomfield, later moving to the Troy area and now I'm back in Farmington Hills, so I have been to Diamond Bakery but it's been a while. First off, if you dined at the deli recently (or maybe that day?), show your receipt you'll get 10% off. Secondly, if you use a credit card there is a 3% fee, which always annoys me, so I paid with cash. My friend had been talking up their chocolate chip hamantaschen, so I got one of those and a raspberry one, plus a black and white cookie. It's been many years since I've had hamantaschen, but theirs was pretty good. However, I was a little disappointed in the black and white cookie... I've had those from New York before and also from Trader Joe's and I thought the cookie here was just okay. That being said, everything else in their display case also looked really good, especially the homemade bagels and bagel sticks, so I will be back at some point to try more of the selection. Pricing was pretty fair as well, the hamantaschen was $1.90 each and the cookie was $3.50.

One of our very favorite bakeries! Their 7 layer cake is Mitch's favorite. And the cinnamon chocolate chip horn pastries delish. Convenient location with nearby parking.

This bakery is no good ever since management changed. The recipes are different and the customer service is horrendous. I literally just overheard a conversation (on the telephone) of an employee telling a customer she was rude when the customer was upset about the fact that the employee told her "although you special ordered a bread, we either sold it or gave it to the owners because they were in earlier and they wanted it for their boys." So many bakeries with so many better choices and good business practices.

I grew up coming here. This place is my childhood. We lived off their bread and basically ate nothing else. We loved their onion rolls, always a favorite to pair with hamburgers. They have one of the best seven layer cakes, if you have never tried one, it is a must! You will thank me later! But I came over here to get a box of their cookies for a party for my child.My kids love their little sprinkle cookies. That was their childhood, eating those little yummy bites of happiness. I got the variety of nonpareils, jimmies, and thumb print chocolate cookies. So good. This is not a fancy bakery. It is very simple and sells very specific products. Come here is you are interested in challah, bobka, hamantaschen, seven layer cake, or sprinkle cookies. They do not have late hours, so check the times before coming.

This used to be my family's favorite Jewish bakery. But ever since it was sold it's completely gone down hill. Ordered a special Challah for the holidays. When I went to pick it up and it was pure chaos in the bakery, and the challah was nothing like the old ones we used to get even the seven layer cake was terrible.

Stale products and not just one or two I purchased a variety, 7 layer cake world famous for what ? Being dried out and sitting in the counter uncovered.

Diamond bakery had the most flavorful, delicious baked goods. We purchased cookies there, seven layer cake, and some chocolate things that reminded me of a mini bumpy cake that was more delicious than any bumpy cake I've ever tasted.

Glad I can review. I am so glad this bakery is not close to my home, I would get their special deserts with too much frequency!!!!!. They typically have two deserts that are to die for. One is a covered wagon, and the second is a ding dong. Either are great but I prefer the covered wagon. If you have ever had Sanders bumpy cake, the covered wagon desert is similar where it starts off with about the most moist fluffy, fudge, devils food cake available. Then a lop of about the best buttercream sits on top followed by the ooziest fudge topping. I have to say after the commercialization of Sanders (it was only in name, which are now no longer available) this desert tops the bumpy cake hands down. And that is saying a lot!!!!! The ding dong has the same ingredients but less buttercream, it's just like a Hostess ding dong but a tad larger and way better. They also make a roll up cake with the same ingredients. You want to be remembered at a party or gathering? Bring one of these cakes to the event!!!! Your friends will talk about it forever!!!!

Ever since the new ownership took over, Diamond Bakery has been fantastic. Always enjoy coming in for 7 Layer Cake and tea cookies. Highly recommend and a must visit if you are in town

Saturday at 9 : 30 am and the showcases are empty. No New Yorkers and very limited choice of breads and cookies.7 layer cake was fresh and excellent ,but will think twice before making the 20 minute drive next time.
