Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Windsor

"Although the Thanksgiving pre-orders at Sister Pie are sold out, you can still grab a non-traditional Thanksgiving dessert!. Sister Pie has a couple of options posted on their website for pick-up tomorrow. Click here to check it out and get a delicious dessert before they are all gone!"

"Made from scratch and using seasonal ingredients, Sister Pie is set within Detroit’s West Village and has won national acclaim for its decadent pies and baked goods. Dig into divine salted maple, grape and goat cheese, or sweet beet pies. Breakfast on just-baked buttered corn scones."

"Lisa Ludwinski was a James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Baker in 2018 and 2017. She shares her creations with Detroit from her own bakery, Sister Pie. Sister Pie is a true work of love for Lisa as she built it from the ground up."

"Charming East Jefferson restaurant Rose’s Fine Food and Wine puts a fresh, seasonal twist on the diner genre with options like buckwheat pancakes, beans and greens, and potato doughnuts. As a bonus, many of the dishes are vegan and gluten-free without skimping on flavor. Currently, Rose’s is doing carryout with online ordering and allowing shoppers to browse the deli case for bread, cheeses, and condiments."

"Rose’s Fine Food’s baked items are delicate, yet unfussy and so satisfying to share. The restaurant’s pastry case is located front and center at the entrance so customers can scope out a slice of the daily specials on the way to the table. Staples such as the light and not-too-sweet yogurt cake are flavored with seasonal fruits and floral decorations."

"Rose's Fine Foods doughnuts are in a category all their own. Not only are they super fresh, but they're also not too sweet and appear to be made with whole wheat flour that takes the flavor in a new and exciting direction. The featured doughnuts change daily, but are often topped with fresh raspberries or soaked in some sort of honey mixture."

"And these aren’t just any vegan cakes—we’re talking elaborate, moist, delicious ones in flavors such as Birthday Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, Cardamom, Double “Matilda” Chocolate, and more. For the Love of Sugar rotates vegan flavors of cake by the slice and macarons each day, so you’ll just have to visit every day."

"A decadent date includes a stop at Brush Park’s For the Love of Sugar. Sip a cup of coffee or tea while splitting a slice of their rich, chocolatey Matilda cake or the famous macarons. Make sure to take a moment to appreciate the delightfully decorated cakes in the window."

"For the Love of Sugar might be the new kid on the block in terms of Detroit bakeries, but it makes the list. If you want your date to end on a sweet note, you stop here. I suggest the pistachio or creme brûlée macaron or the rainbow Fruity Pebble layer cake."

"Paczkis (pronounced “poonch-ski”; don’t go around asking for a “pat-ski”) are so beloved in Detroit that they have their own holiday on Fat Tuesday, where people all over the city will stand in ridiculous lines to get their last fix of butter-sugar-fat before Lent. That's because these jelly-filled doughnuts were engineered to be the most butter-laden, sugar-loaded, fried-in-all-the-fat goodies possible. At New Palace Bakery—located in Hamtramck, a predominately Polish neighborhood throughout the 20th century—these goodies are available year-round for that butter-sugar-fat fix I’m always looking for."

"New Palace Bakery, a bakery that offers desserts and more, is another affordable go-to, with four stars out of 76 Yelp reviews. Head over to 9833 Joseph Campau St. to see for yourself. Yelper Susan M., who reviewed New Palace Bakery on Feb. 5, wrote, “The s’mores paczki was a knockout."

"We don't need to wait for Fat Tuesday to indulge in a paczki, thanks to our vibrant Polish community here in Metro Detroit. Any kind, any time, there's no wrong way to enjoy a paczki, honestly. There are no frills and fancies to rave about, it's a paczki — plain, simple and delicious."

"Knudsen's has delicious donuts, no doubt, but with "Danish" in the name you should opt for what they have done best since opening in the 1920s: traditional Nordic-style danishes in flavors like cheese and raspberry."

"This traditional sweet bread roll is something you have to try at least once. Then again, and again and again. The crunchy topping provides texture and flavor, and maybe conchas wouldn't be technically a dessert but it's sweet and it would be a shame to exclude them."

"Neighborhood mainstay Mexicantown Bakery features all manner of breads and pastries at its Vernor Highway shop, but customers particularly seek out this spot for its tres leches cake soaked in a sweet cream. It’s offered whole and by-the-slice."

"Amongst fruit-topped danishes, perfectly flaky croissants, and fresh breads, Ochre Bakery makes sure there are by-the-slice options in the case for cake fans. The bakery’s rotating selection ranges from not-too-sweet olive oil cakes to decadent chocolate layer cake to frosted slices of pistachio-lemon pound cake. Ochre also takes special orders."

"Known for their hit breads, pastries, and cakes, Jessica Hicks and Dai Hughes offer a wider selection of tasty treats. Ochre makes naturally leavened bread with grains that are grown and milled as locally as possible. Names number four on Bon Appetit’s America’s Best New Restaurants list in 2019."

"This place of worship underwent a transformation in 1918 with the construction of a new building. This gorgeous church features stained glass windows and interiors that are absolutely mesmerizing. There are many events that the church hosts so while you are here, do find time to attend them."

"Detroit has all sorts of options when it comes to its tastes and entertainment. You can use local websites to find out where Detroit residents eat and play but for a beginner’s guide check out our suggestions."

"Whether you want a look behind the curtain at the home life of one of Detroit’s most famous families or to experience an impressive and authentic piece of period architecture, the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House is a must-visit. The son of Henry Ford and his wife moved into their home on Gaukler Pointe near Grosse Pointe Shores in 1929, and Eleanor gifted it to a trust for the benefit of the public when she died in 1976."
