“Delectable, Dynamic, and Down to earthWhen you first walk into Warda Patisserie, you are delighted by the salivating smells wafting from the kitchen and the delectable arrangements of pastries, leading your eyes (and stomach) further into the shop.Feasting first, with the eyes, you will notice that the flavor combinations on the pastries are out-of-the-ordinary (with a flavor to match). For example, Ube Flan, Yuzu Mousselline, and Mango Black Sesame Financiers, to name a few. I asked the staff about the inspiration for the flavors and was informed of Warda Bouguettaya's global pastry education. I even had the opportunity to meet her, as she was standing right behind me! For being an award-winning, critically acclaimed chef, her humility and centeredness spoke loudly!I was eager to try these treats and chose an item she recommended: her Ube Flan. It was an excellent balance of flavor, not too sweet, adorned with toasted coconut, and an excellent start to my Saturday. Also, the space, although intimate and close-quarters, was not loud for a Saturday morning. Every table was filled, but people were quick to enjoy their pastries and then get on with the rest of their day.With a friendly and knowledgeable staff, Warda's Patisserie should be a must-go if you are looking for delicious treats, a good way to start the weekend, or an excuse to treat yourself. Anyway, if you are looking for a superb bakery then look no further.“
“Upon entering the establishment I was greeted by the young lady?. There was a regular customer whom conversed with me about his favorite. The cookies are a nice size and delicious. The decor is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend and we must support our own people and Community ,keep our money in the neighborhood . The prices are good. Good Cookie be prosperous and thank you.“
“I've been here probably a dozen times for coffee and snacks. Finally got a larger meal today. The bread (possibly sourdough) is amazing. Some of the best I've had In the city. And it was a generous chunk with my soup. Next time I'm getting a sandwich “
“Mr Chimetime had me feening over some pie!!:So I ordered the chocolate pie it was good, but the banana crunch with caramel it’s amazing I love the consistency of the salted maple and banana crunch pies better and then the cream of the crop the banana bread warmed up with your fav beverage made me want to go to sleep. Now the service top notch beautiful ladies answering all my questions! When I come back in town I will stop by.“
“I was looking for an elegant cake in Royal Oak area for a baby shower event that I was organizing remotely. I loved a design I found at Treatzzz website and reached out. The process to order was extremely hassle free. I got response very fast and I requested some last minute additions to the design. I received such a lovely cake with some polar bears and snowflakes since I had mentioned that it was a winter and polar bear themed shower. I appreciate how thoughtful you were and how easy you made the entire process for someone like me ordering from out of the state. And yes, the flavor was amazing. The cake was the star of our event. Thank you!!“
“That oatmeal cream pie was unbelievable. And I’m sincerely sorry if you weren’t able to experience it. Wallah when I tell you it was the greatest sweet I’ve ever eaten in life, believe you me. That pie gave me an out of body experience. Something that good doesn’t belong in Dearborn. I would die for that pie!“
“This is definitely an establishment you don't want to miss out on visiting. Their service is always impeccable and friendly and very welcoming. Their pastries are amazing, their coffee and the ambiance is beautiful.It gives you all the warm and cozy feels of visiting your favorite grandma. ✨ I would highly recommend visiting this establishment it's great for business, meeting up with friends, and they also allow you to rent out the space for private events!“
“Staff was personable and helped create a drink that fit my preferences! Highly recommend the orange cardamom latte with some chocolate. Syrup made in house, which is a plus. The vibe was cozy and suitable for somewhere to chill solo or chat with friends over a cup of joe or tea. Free designated parking lot was clutch.“
“OMG good! I popped in for some pie and ended up getting pie, the soul weekend special and some body items from the pop up shop in side. The service was impeccable. Okay. So let's get into the food. I'm only did the original sweet potato pie minis (2/$8) and it was so good. The pie filling itself but that crust was so delicious. Buttery and smooth. Now the surprise of surprise... the soul food special. I got the salmon croquettes and honey I was instantly transported to my mother's kitchen. I haven't had croquettes in about 15 yrs. The sides were the perfect accessory. I took two bites in the car and had to call them before hitting the road to let them know it was just that good. Do yourself a favor and go here. Now! I will definitely be returning the next time in the area.“
“Great food and great service, cudos to Ms. Jaunita! I've been going here since 2013. I learned from a coworker that you unravel the corn shell off tamales, lol - don't eat the corn shell. Been in love ever since. Baked goodies are top notch! Open early!“
“We’ve gotten Dooped Donuts twice downtown and once at the Ferndale Project and they are are always amazing! We decided to order two dozen for our baby shower and they did not disappoint. They were a huge hit and nobody could believe they’re vegan. They’re THE best! Our favorite is the cinnamon swirl!“
“Omg the reviews do not do this place justice!!! Let me start off with the warm greetings they give when you walk in. So nice. Then the amazing smells that hit you as soon as you walk in. Fantastic! I got the lemon bar, the chocolate chip cookie, a breakfast sandwich and a kale salad with chicken. The lemon bar was so delicious, with a perfect crust, and creamy inside, I ate the whole thing while waiting for my sandwich. The cookie was great as well. The sandwich which they told me was put on bread they bake in house was absolutely delicious. Great crunch, eggs and the other ingredients inside tasted so yummy. The salad tastes fresh and not soggy. The chicken is served cold, but still really good with no weird after taste. Everything was a 10/10 I totally recommend this spot if you’re downtown. I’m in school down here and the service was quick enough for me to order, and still make it with plenty of time to get back to class. I will definitely be back daily. I’m praying I get my clinical’s close by so I can come back after this class term.“
“Loved my 60th Birthday cake!!! Not only was it delicious! The final cake looked exactly like the photo! The bakers were so accommodating and communicated with me every step of the way! Thank you #forthrloveofsugar team! I will definitely be back! Life is sweet!!❤️“
“I’m not a huge donut fan, but Elias donuts has changed that for me. As soon as my husband and I walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff and offered a hot, fresh donut. It was so warm, fluffy and creamy. That one free sample converted me, and we ended up buying way more than we intended to. We left with huge order of staff recommended donuts and nothing disappointed. I can’t wait for my next visit!“
“I swung by Royal Oak farmer’s market Saturday morning and grabbed a couple pies. Just ate a slice. This was my first time eating sweet potato pie in my life and I can only liken it to a religious experience. Incredible. I think the bar has been set so high I will be disappointed by any other pie moving forward, however I don’t see this as a problem as long as I can get more of Uncle Calvin’s.“
“Lovely cafe right across the street from Orchestra Hall. My daughter plays with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's Civic Youth Concert band so I have time to burn during her rehearsals. Give Thanks is a great place to grab a pasty and coffee. The croissants are butter and flaky. Delicious. The iced latte is out of this world good. I see myself being a frequent customer.“
“I’ve visited the store a couple of times and it’s been a while. I had actually forgotten that this bakery supply store is so close to me because I’ve recently moved west. My experiences with this store were very positive and I loved the service, look and organization of the products. I’ll be heading there today to stock up on supplies as soon as they open!“
“My girl is the best I ordered strawberry cheesecake nachos for my daughter bday and EVERYONE loved them even the ones who said they don’t like stuff like that they definitely smashed them I’ve ordered from her before and everything I get is always bomb “
“Every baked item is unlabeled, which makes it difficult to know what you'll be going home with, but I've enjoyed almost everything I've tried from here. my family comes here every time we're in the area, and I'd definitely become a regular customer if I lived closer. They have this dense white ball pastry that I crave late at night sometimes lol, and I'm not too crazy about the raisins that are baked in, but the layer of cream in the middle and the white, sugary coating on the outside are to die for ?? I wish they had some available the last time I visited. I'll have to go back soon!!!“
“When I tell you their banana pudding(yes they offer no nana pudding for you other folk) is soooo balanced and delicious. Not too sweet and it hits every check mark in my book! The pound cake is the perfect texture and you are so right I’ll be back!“
“With the devastating closure of my beloved Dutch Girl Donuts, National Bakery has some pretty big wooden clogs to fill and it's done so admirably even if it never will have quite the same iconic status in my mind. (Dutch Girl is supposed to reopen at some still undetermined point with the original recipes being passed down along with the building so if it rises like a phoenix maintaining its previously exemplary standards then consider this review a 4.5 so Dutch Girl maintains its status as Top Dog.) The outside of the building is pretty bare bones but they get automatic respect for holding it down on a desolate commercial strip lacking any other businesses on one of Detroit's mile-and-a-half roads, E. State Fair. Hand painted Plain blue block letters announce the name of the business along with the 5am - 5pm hours. The word NATIONAL is on separate white board affixed to the facade of the building so it originally said simply BAKERY and there's more space between the E and N of OPEN than between the N and the 5 that begins their hours. A coffee cup accompaniment, the only graphic is a simple outline. A more complete filled in coffee cup graces a diagonal wall on the corner of the building that covers where a doorway used to be. It reads HOT CUP COFFEE. I don't know why Yelp has National Bakery listed in Highland Park, a "suburb" surrounded entirely by Detroit, abutted kitty corner by Hamtramck, which is in the exact same situation. National Bakery is in Detroit proper, a whole mile and half north of the Highland Park border and east of it as well. If you're driving around near any of the cities you can instantly tell which one you're in by the street signs. Detroit's are green with white letters and Highland Park and Hamtramck have blue signs with white letters. But that's neither here nor there... My maiden voyage to National Bakery, only undertaken once Dutch Girl had shuttered, was a bit rough. The two ladies in back were having a loud argument and I only got the attention of the one by tapping my key on the glass counter. Fortunately, in several visits since there hasn't been a repeat of anything like that. It's $4.80 for a half dozen donuts and just shy of ten bucks for a dozen. They're pretty delicious, even if they don't practically melt in your mouth like Dutch Girls used to. (I had a co-worker tell me once that he thought Dutch Girl Donuts were too soft which I disagree with but I have to respect. I think National Bakery would probably meet his standard, though.) I've never tried anything but the donuts here. The coffee looks good but coffee has been upsetting my stomach lately so I've basically cut it out. They do have a fridge with sodas and juices. There's also other baked goods like cupcakes and cookies. This is a true old school mom and pop hole in the wall and though it might not have the cool branding and quite as much charm as Dutch Girl it's pretty awesome on its own. Honestly, it's maybe unfair of me to try to hold National Bakery to that standard but I just can't help myself. Yelp isn't known for being the most objective place after all.“
“One of the best bakeries in the city.of Detroit! Terri's has serviced so many of my clients and it has been nothing but chef's kisses and rave reviews!! My two favorite ingredients that she always uses is quality and love. Oh shoot!! I might have said the secret ingredients ?. You can't go wrong with Terri's for any occasion!“
“This is the only bakery I will get my bake goods from. My wedding cake was beautiful it made me cry. I went back had my mom 65th birthday cake did that was awesome. Words is not enough you have to try it. I recommend this bakery to everyone.“
“My goodness I have never had such delicious deserts in my life! The customer service was top tier, professional and beyond accommodating to my needs! Not only was the deserts delicious down to last bite but the bakery itself it's just so nice, clean, cozy and all around beautiful atmosphere. It's a big plus that it is Black owned by a Woman!! 10's across the board!!! They have my business along with my family, friends & colleagues for life!! We won't be going anywhere else!“
“Had an amazing meal here when my dad came into town. Amazing friendly service, fast, fresh meal even mid afternoon. Highly recommend the zaatar and cheese Jay Special-- made fresh to order, it's better than a deep dish Chicago pizza, my kids loved it. This is a hidden jam, will definitely be visiting again!“
“Cute Greek French fusion bakery, nice location in the middle of Greektown. Staff was friendly and welcoming, and the pastries all looked amazing. Great coffee! Got a tiramisu which tasted excellent and was a generous portion. Rolled baklava was crisp and with a delicate sweetness! Will be back, lots more to try!“
“Love the owner thanks my friend for being the only afghan that have a business in this area the only thing I realy need to see I. Your store is our afghan bread that we bought fresh everyday from Afghanistan I mean you have every equipment you need to do that for us I realy appreciate youe smile to us and hopefully you grow more and more“
“Stopped here while waiting for a table at Los Galanes and I'm so glad I did! There were so many fresh treats to choose from. I was worried I was breaking the bank but I got everything I could want for $12!! Quiet and homey ambiance, churros available on weekends. Definitely worth a stop! :)“
“My husband and I popped in for a quick breakfast and really enjoyed our food. The sourdough may have been some of the best I’ve had outside San Francisco. They took pride in the quality of their food which is something I always appreciate too!“
“We go here all the time for that specific breakfast craving! Live the falafel, eggplant. Cauliflower sandwich w fries and just the right amount of hot sauce and mango sauce topped w salad in a hot fresh boat bread! Can't get any better! It's one of a kind and it's really hard to find it anywhere! If you haven't already you must try it! Also, take home a couple loaves of fresh bread! They are sooo good with spreads, deli meats and fillings of any kind! The food is hot and fresh! There is also a nice selection of groceries to choose from. Ask about the other foods they have and get to learn the foods on the menu! They all taste really good. And it's all healthy! Must try the yogurt cucumber salad!“
“Oh my lord, all of the options looked scrumptious. We ordered a pistachio and chocolate croissant, Blackberry/Blueberry croissant, an Almond croissant, Smoked Salmon sandwich, Chicken sandwich and a loaf of Sourdough bread. Everything was excellent and very fresh. It's pricey but worth the splurge occasionally.“
