    You eat with your eyes first and this bakery serves!!!! Beautiful and yummy treats, also nicely packaged for a commute. Small dining area, easy parking.

    So many great pastries and other baked goods at this french bakery! My family loves to stop by for almond croissants in the morning

    Popped in here a bit ago on a Saturday afternoon knowing they might be short on a few things but willing to take a chance and luckily they still had quite a bit in stock! I loaded up a box with a St. Honore, a raspberry tart, a napoleon, and a chocolate raspberry mousse cake and a bottle of French lemonade. Everything was delicious and it might be my favorite St. Honore desserts that I've had in the region! They also have a really incredible looking spread of freshly baked bread loafs and baguettes, fluffy brioche rolls speckled with pearl sugar, and laminated pastries like shiny croissants, striped in several different colors based on flavor (red for raspberry and green for pistachio, for example) making them as photo worthy as they are beautiful. The shop is not huge but it's cozy with a bit of seating. They also have a nice little cabinet full of imported French treats like teas, candy, crackers, caviar, condiments, etc. They also have a full coffee menu and some savories like sandwiches (ham and gruyere and croque monsieur stick out in my memory) and quiche as well as full sized cakes and tarts for special occasions. This spot is located in a strip mall and the intersection is not my favorite (Telegraph and Maple) but it is 100% worth braving traffic and weird turnarounds for the delicious eats you'll find within!

    Excellent French pastries, bread ,croissants and so much more to feast on . Enjoy food that are imported from France and converted by their French chef for your eyes, tastes buds and enjoyment.

    The people here were not what I would call friendly, not rude, but not friendly. Service was very matter of fact, but the pastries and bread were really good. From the palmier to the baguette, the various flavored croissants; they were all delicious. This place is out of the way for us, but it's worth a special trip now and again. The place is very cute inside, especially for being in a utilitarian strip mall, but the fresh pastries are five star.

    Look at that face!

    As far as boulangeries and patisseries in the area go, Chez Pierre et Genevieve is one of the best. I believe most of the pastries here are comparable to Cannelle, the only other French patisserie in Metro Detroit that I know of. Chez Pierre has many of the same French treats as Cannelle but also boasts a selection of imported specialty grocery items. I've only been here once, but from what I can remember, Cannelle has a slightly wider assortment of patisserie items vs. Chez Pierre which had a larger selection of breads, savory items, and other baked goods. The croissants at Chez Pierre are excellently laminated and they have different flavors like raspberry, pistachio, and Nutella. They weren't too crispy on the outside, and soft/chewy on the inside. The raspberry croissant has a fresh raspberry filling in between the layers. It wasn't too sweet and was probably my favorite thing I ate! I also tried the Fruit medallion which I haven't seen before. It had a croissant base, pastry cream, and fresh fruit on top. Very yummy! They also had a varied selection of macaron flavors. I tried the pistachio and mango-passion fruit. I preferred the pistachio as the passion-fruit wasn't as sharp as I would've hoped. Both had that ideal nougat-like texture that we all love in a macaron. Fun fact, Pierre and Genevieve are the names of the French bulldogs of the co-owner Joumana (the lawyer from the billboards!). When I was there, Genevieve (I think) was lying next to the register and was so adorable.

    I was craving an almond croissant over the weekend and found Chez Pierre et Genevieve. When I looked at their online menu and saw the vast variety of French breads and treats and I immediately knew we had to go. Unfortunately it was already pretty late in the day, but we decided to take a chance that they might have something left in stock. When we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised as they basically had everything we had wanted to buy: Baguette ($3.98) - I found the bake to be perhaps a little too hard on this. The pointy sides of the baguette were especially dry and hard, which could easily lacerate gums if not careful. The interior was much better - while still a bit thicker of a crust, the inside was chewy and pleasant. The dough used in the baguette isn't as developed as some other places. It's more on the sweet side, light and perhaps a bit floury tasting, indicating lack of development. Epi Baguette ($4.25) - I really love how they put different toppings on each individual section of the epi. It's something unique that really stands out to me. In terms of flavor - I was expecting this to be similar to the baguette but I was pleasantly surprised when I had my first bite. The dough here has a more complex developed flavor, and it seems they brush the exterior with a sesame nuttiness, in addition to the other spices. The bake on this is perfect - a nice crust that isn't too hard and a chewy interior. I recommend this over the normal baguette. Almond Croissant ($4.98) - On first sight, the almond croissant looked massive - easily 50% larger than other places. But when I picked it up, I was surprised at just how light it felt. It didn't match the size at all. When I bit in, I found out why - wow! Just look at that fantastic rise and honeycomb structure! Super airy, light, flaky. We didn't get any, but I bet the regular croissants here are fantastic. The almond croissant, however, is not without flaws. Firstly, the top is dusted with powdered sugar and slivered almonds, but doesn't have any frangipane applied. On the interior, the frangipane is applied well and I like the fact that it's baked inside the croissant, rather than cut in half and applied later like a lot of other bakeries. I found that the frangipane was overprocessed and had an almost gummy texture that's more similar to marzipan. Overall, I think this is a good almond croissant but not great. We also got a Pistachio Croissant ($4.98), but I will refrain from reviewing it since I wasn't able to try it until the day after. One knock against Chez Pierre et Genevieve is that their pricing is not accurate. How much they charge at the register does not match the pricing on their website, nor the pricing they have posted on the signs throughout the store. I was a bit annoyed at that. On the plus side, we got a complimentary bag with 3 additional pastries during check out - probably because they were about to close up for the night and didn't want them to go to waste. There aren't a lot of French bakeries in Metro Detroit, but Chez Pierre et Genevieve sets itself apart by having a ton of variety. I'm sure everyone can find at least an item or two that they will like. Definitely give it a try.

I understand employees may be busy, so that wasn't my concern. What bothered me was the customer service that followed. I asked for a small Berries Delight and pointed to the individual desserts on the left. Instead, the young man assisting me went to the cakes on the right and attempted to hand me a small cake. I politely stopped him and explained that I wanted the personal-sized Berries Delight on the left. He responded by saying, "Those are called slices," in a tone that came across as rude and condescending. I then asked if I could have a fresh one from the refrigerator because the one in the display case looked like it had been sitting there for a while. He insisted the display one was fine, but I repeated that I would prefer one from the refrigerator. He reluctantly got one and handed it to me, saying, "There's your fresh Berries Delight," in a sarcastic tone. I visit Sweet Dreams regularly--between this location and the previous one, I stop in about four times a month. I've always enjoyed your desserts, which is why this experience was so surprising. I've never been treated this way before. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because the quality of customer service should match the quality of your products.

Due to a food allergy I didn't want to style the tart myself. I contacted a number of local bakeries as well as Plum Market, Whole Foods, Zingermans and more. None could accommodate my specific request. Finally, I came across sweet dreams and they were able to make me a beautiful raspberry tart to use for my images, based on the appearance, I wanted and in a timely manner. The location and store seem very nice too. And the pastry itself turned out great! Check out the images to see how pretty it was and how perfectly it worked.

From cookies to tarts, to cupcakes and cookies, their goods never disappoint. Most recently I purchased a one of their cream fruit cakes for my mom's birthday and I loved it. Light vanilla sponge filled with a vanilla custard type filling and more on top adorned with a variety of fruit. A lovely summer treat that didn't leave us overly full or buzzy with too much sugar. The cakes come in two sizes and I purchased the smaller of the two (it was 8 inch, I think? Maybe 6) which admittedly was still pretty pricey so I'd probably only reach for a full cake for special occasions but if you're in the mood for a lil' treat while you're grocery shopping grab yourself a cupcake or cookie from the bakery section.

While I knew a little about what I wanted (buttercream and vanilla cake) they asked about layers and colors and a range of things that made the perfect cake. And they assured me it would be ready on time for pickup and it was! Know that they need at least a couple of weeks as all of their cakes are customized so don't wander in the day of your event and expect to get a cake. And what was even more special was the look on my mom's face when she saw the cake and we all gathered around her to sing, "Happy Birthday". The moment was priceless.
