Enjoy their pizza and try to get out without buying any baked good. We appreciate the sauce that they use as it is very good. Pricing seems more reasonable than others - probably because they don't run offers/ coupons, etc the other places do. (I have been going there like almost 45 years, maybe more?) read more

Reconnected with this place Ole bakery friend. Great pizza, wonderful bakery ! Some really tasty sweets, great deli, like Grandpa made city chicken, I really like the new ice cream freezer. Love Richard the ladies, the service, the city chicken. read more

This is just a great bakery! The fresh baked bread is wonderful, the donuts to die for. I have used this bakery for a couple of my in-office events and everyone is really happy with the items and I work with picky people. The staff is very nice and helpful and they are a busy group. This is a neighborhood bakery, great desserts and pizza. I would recommend them with my whole heart. read more

Easy to park, super friendly staff here. Nice variety of baked goods, and the owner, Mr.Julian, is so nice. I order pizza from here at least every other week. Delicious! Highly recommended! read more

Best bakery in the Metro Detroit area

I was excited to be by Julian Brothers, I stopped to get donuts and a cookie for my kiddo.. I love chocolate dipped cake donuts!! I got to the car and basically ripped the box open!! The donuts are fresh, no doubt but the chocolate had a weird taste. Maybe bitter? I couldn't place the taste but I bought 3!! I couldn't even stomach a quarter of one of them.. Super sad about that! Stars for the Maple Ring my dad loves. He likes it better there than any other bakery!! read more

Today I stopped at Julian's for a submarine sandwich. While there I bought a beef pastie. What a mistake. Got home and started to eat the pastie & it tasted nasty. It smelled rancid. I had to throw it away. They have a lot of nerve selling crap like that. It was such a bad taste, I don't think I'll ever return to their store. I just hope I don't get sick from it. read more

Possibly the best cannolis in the Detroit area. I can't speak towards their other large array of baked goods and even frozen pastas/dishes. But their reputation for quality foods is known through the area. All I can tell you is that if you get their cannoli, you will be counting down the days until it's appropriate to get another one. Enjoy! read more

I don't know who the Julian brothers are, but they sure know how to make delicious baked goods. I am trying to stay away from simple carbs but it is sooooooooooo tough to do when I know my husband wants to go here and it's a short drive away, so I just indulge in a few treats and try to forget about it by the next day. Basically anything in the pastry case is wonderful. They have these little miniature bumpy cakes called ding dongs, and they are way better than actual Sanders Bumpy Cake. My uncles actually prefer the caramel cake here to the authentic Sanders version as their birthday cake of choice. Their almond tea ring coffee cake things are a favorite of my dad's. Their cookies are delicious and so cute with sprinkles and they even have those neon-colored Italian layer cookies that are too much for me but my entirely-New Jersey, practically-Italian husband swears by them. Then there's the bread. Oh Em Gee, the bread. Buttermilk Rye. Sicilian, with seeds or without. Wheat. Cinnamon Raisin. At least 20 other varieties, not to mention dinner rolls or a 5-year-old Cathy O. favorite, pepperoni rolls. Good luck to you figuring out which variety to pick. They have inexpensive, decently tasty pizza and subs. Now, if I had to be picky, I would complain about the subs that are pre-made that morning, but I haven't asked them to make a fresh one for me ever and the ladies behind the counter are so nice I bet they would do it. The frozen food selection is quite large with both italian staples and more typical frozen dinners. This place is a winner in my book. But you really should stay away from the aforementioned ding dongs because you'll wake up at 7am craving one, like I did six minutes ago. Oopsies! read more

I LOVE this place. It's an old school bakery that also has pizza, subs and a small grocery section. The bakery is awesome. I often order cakes for holiday celebrations, and I can't recommend their bumpy cake or lemon layer cake highly enough. Both are rich and decadent, and the 10" cake can easily feed a small army. But don't stop at the cakes, dear readers. There is an entire case of pastries to be sampled. My personal favorites are the lemon flips and the ding dongs, but after EXTENSIVE research into the matter I can attest to the fact that it's all good. And the breads..... ah, the breads..... Italian, sourdough, rye, wheat, cinnamon. About a dozen other varieties. Some come in a couple of sizes. Some come with seeds, or without. Want it sliced? No prob. Dinner rolls galore. Pepperoni rolls. You get the picture. They also sell pizza by the slice, or you can order a whole pie. I've had the pizza a few times, and it's consistently good. I haven't tried the subs, but they look good and are certainly on my list. One of my very favorite things that they sell is homemade pasta in the freezer case. Along with some homemade pesto and a generous amount of parmigiano Reggiano, it is TOTALLY worth the carb coma!! read more

Have been coming here for years, the nicest people and great pastries their pizza is really good too! Definitely recommend gettin their pepperoni bread for lunch too. They also function as a mini grocery store 10/10 read more

I have been curious about Julian Brothers for awhile. There isn't much going on in the strip where it's located & I wasn't sure if it was open. Naturally, I turned to Yelp to find out what this place is all about. I finally stopped in last week to grab a sub. I ordered the club from the case, plus a pepperoni roll. I toasted the sub when I got home. The sesame sub roll was full of flavor. I loved it! The roll totally made the it great. The pepperoni roll was just ok. I always have such high hopes wherever I order them, and I haven't been impressed yet. We decided to try their pizza this weekend. I really like that you can order a small square pizza that is only 4 slices. This allows me to order a specialty pizza that my husband won't eat without a lot of leftovers. I ordered a small square BLT pizza & a medium square pizza with pepperoni & ham. I really wanted to try their cheese bread but they were sold out. That is probably my only disappointment. They don't make it by order. I settled for the seasoned garlic bread, which was just OK. It was baked earlier in the day, so it wasn't your typical garlic bread from a pizza place. I LOVED my BLT pizza. It was cooked perfectly, great crust and plenty of bacon. You have a choice of getting mayo or Miracle Whip. I'm not sure if that's standard since I never get to order this type of pizza! I tried a piece of the other pizza & it was very good! I don't shop at too many different grocery stores, but they all tend to carry limited variations of pasta. I think JB has a great pasta selection. They also sell Guernsey products, including a great variety of their ice cream flavors (most important). The staff was very friendly & helpful during both stops. I'm so glad I finally stopped in. We'll definitely be back for more. read more

Okay, so I stumbled on to this place by mistake one day picking up a pizza order across the street, and I have been returning faithfully over the years for Guernsey Farm goods...they are so choice. I get the occasional pantry item, loaf of fresh baked bread, bumpy cake, pepperoni roll and all of them are very good on their own, yet not enough to really stand out as a destination for me...then this weekend I ordered some cannolis to take with my tub of Guernsey. They make the damn things to order, and are incredible (2nd favorite) especially considering their prices. I got some with nuts, some with chocolate, filling is light, shell is crisp and fresh. Maybe the fresh build was all it took, but I was really impressed with them. read more

The cannolis are the best anywhere. They're made as u order them. Made with cassava not custard or pudding. They're about quality and it shows read more

I don't like cannoli. There, I said it. I tried the cannoli here and it didn't taste bad - it's just not my thing. The cream filling was a little heavy on the cinnamon, but overall it was okay. If you like cannoli you'll like these. The staff here is very nice and super helpful. I tried some cookies, cannoli, some lemon pastry that looked like a big taco, a slice of pizza, and a stuffed cabbage. The pastries and cookies were okay, nothing spectacular. The pizza is really really good! The stuffed cabbage was terrible. I'm Polish and make these at home. Golabki is supposed to have tender cabbage (you can cut mine with a fork!) They didn't cook the cabbage long enough and it was very tough and hard to cut into. Their filling was SO BLAND! No salt, no pepper, no seasonings, just rice and meat. I tried to doctor it up when I got home but it didn't help. The tomato sauce on top was just bland and watery. Very disappointing. I probably won't visit here again. read more

Why I love this place... Pizza slices. Cheap, Fast, Variety. Frozen Pizza. Classic french bread style light crust. Yummmy. Subs. Medium is great size for a meal. If you want one custom made...no onions etc. It is not a problem. I always order without cheese...if I ask they give me a few extra pieces of meat instead. Take that waysub! Pay 25 cents for some of the house dressing, super good stuff. Pie. Dutch apple is awesome. This place is more than bread. It is a great place for a quick lunch or last minute meal...at home or on the fly. If you have never stopped in you are missing out. read more

Delicious baked goods and fantastic pizza! The prices are very reasonable and they always give the kids a free cookie for coming in. This is a perfect place to splurge on a cheat day! read more

I'll be honest, I'm giving a 3 because I haven't tried them out but my experience over the phone just now on New Year's Eve really makes me not want too. It says open till 9 but hours may differ due to the holiday. That's fine, I called a few times I figured okay by the 3rd call they've gotta be closed because by the 2nd if they were busy they would have answered and put me on hold. The lady answered "hello" very annoyed. I said hi just wanted to see if you guys were open and she very rudely said we closed at 6. So I came back at well okay that's why I was calling and she again very annoyed said nope we are closed and hung up before I could say anything. Very disappointed. read more

THE best cannolis. They are so good that our son added them to their wedding celebration menu. Thanks to the Julian Bros. staff for 120 perfect cannolis! read more

When all of this covid stuff started people were telling me they could not find bread. So I told them all I would get them bread from Julian Brothers. A local small business. By the way some of these people are little old ladies. When I went to get the bread Mr Julian told me about the German white bread. He said it is great for toasting and all the little old ladies like it. He was so right. I have to get 8 loaves of bread tommorow for a bunch of little old ladies. The frozen lasagna is really good also. Always keep one in my freezer just in case. read more

Well I've been a patron of Julian Bros for a solid 6 years now and it's just as good as ever. If you want to have a fat kid day and go on a sugar binge, this place will satisfy your needs. Huge variety of donuts, desserts and pretty much anything you could want. Their cherry fritters? On point. And huge. But that didn't stop me from washing it down with 2 cookies.... What can I say? I have a mad love affair with sugar sometimes.... read more

This little gem brightened my day, and was a great alternative to the standard "fast food' joints in the area. We grabbed an italian sub on our way out of town and it was only $3.99 - great deal. We will be back to do some shopping for italian groceries in the near future. read more

The pizza is so so so so so so good. And you can get it by the slice! The best part is that the pepperonis are so crisp that the edges turn up and the grease forms a little pool in the middle. I'd give the bread 3 stars and the pizza 5, so 4 stars it is. read more

Awesome. Amazing. Wonderful. Delicious. I can't share enough positive adjectives to describe this bakery. I had my wedding cake made there. My dad suggested looking there because he remembered how great it was. The initial price was HALF of what other bakeries were quoting for wedding cakes. I was so excited when I saw my cake for the first time. It was better than I could have ever hoped for. I highly recommend yellow cake with cannoli filling! We didn't take any cake home because our guests ate their first slice & requested more. So moral of the story: amazing cake at an amazing price! read more

Stopped in the first time at this bakery to pick up a birthday cake. The staff were super nice and gave my cranky toddler a cookie to keep him happy. The cake was absolutely delicious with frosting that was nit over the top sweet. We were in and out in 10 mins despite the lineup. Definitely going back!! read more

Disappointed waited in line for 15mins today only to be told they are out of buttercream donuts. No sign posted except at the counter at 10am read more

Pro: They use fresh mushrooms on the pizza, not canned. Con: I would have liked a little more. Pro: The crust is near perfect, not soggy. Crispy and tender. Con: The sauce is pretty tasteless. Overall, I'm a fan. They're one of the few pizza places close by that actually serves Coke, add the fresh baked goods and I'll take the cons! read more

Julian Bros has been our regular bakery for a few years now. It would have been for a lot more years if my husband had decided to stop int here earlier! 90% of what we buy there is bread (yes, it's a bakery!), and we buy 90% of our bread from there! The bread is fresh, and if you select he right kind, it's super crispy crusted. For something a little different, go for the 7-grain Yep, it might be difficult to get excited about bread, but this bread is great. They have pretty decent garlic bread in the freezer, but if you feel like going entirely wild, but a half (long) Sicilian, and make your own. Their bread is TOTALLY suited to home made garlic bread. We tried the pizza too - only the take-n-bake. Bargain priced for great stuff. Pizzas are huge and the crust is different to anything you will find anywhere else. And they sell all sorts of imported canned, and jarred foods, mainly European. We've not tried them as we have other sources. The staff: Efficient and friendly. Nice people. Gave a small cookie to my daughter on many occasions, even when she did not ask... unless staring at the cookies longingly and looking cute does not count as asking? And the smell. I swear they are using some kinda pixies dust in the air that makes you hungry. Every time. Wait. That must be the smell of freshly baking bread! One of not-so-many existing small food businesses. Long Live Julians! read more

I'm so happy I ordered this delicious cake from Julian Brothers bakery! I had the best experience ordering it sight unseen from a very helpful young woman over the phone. I was even more impressed with a call I received the day before I was to pick it up, from the store confirming the order and discussing final details about it. This thoughtful attention was much appreciated. Thank you! read more

Julian Brothers - Bakeries Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

Best Italian bread around. No doubt. They make a pretty good sub and great peperoni rolls for lunch time. Also, I like any lunch place where I can get lunch, a loaf of bread for dinner and a treat to eat. If I had any suggestions, it would be to slice the meat on the italian subs a little thinner. I don't need more meat, just turn two slices into three thin ones. I will give Julian Brothers props for using red onion on the subs. Other places try to use white, but that aint right! Oh yeah, the lady with the very-blue eyes is super nice. Excellent customer service. read more

Whoever said there's no such thing as a free lunch was lying. Our company bought us lunch and I didn't have a dollar in my pocket. To me, that IS a free lunch! I come and go with subs. This was no Lenny's by a long mile, but it was decent sub; Italian or turkey with lettuce and tomato, mustard potato salad, and pasta salad. It reminded me of a giant picnic. So, I guess it would be great picnic food. It didn't blow any gaskets in my vicinity, but it was solid. Decent. Oh, and they delivered it. Bread is good, pasta salad is meh, potato salad had egg in it, love that. /Decent! read more

Went there for their Italian Sub. Wow was it good. Nice little bakery, with lots of options. Bread, pizza, subs, meatballs, cakes, etc....

I'm really missing our treats from Julian Brothers. I'm hoping they might start curb pick up. Their soup is the best!

I made a yelp account for the sole purpose of sharing my experience at Julian Brother's. Right when you walk in you are thrown decades into the past. Shelves and machinery all appear years outdated. Filthy as well. The walls have muck growing on them like ivy. Truly disgusting... On top of this A few weeks ago, I bought a loaf of multi grain bread, egg salad, and one of the "ding dongs". The bread was frozen on the inside. Word of advice, never buy their bagged breads. They are not fresh! The egg salad smelled like it had been sitting out all week. Ding dong was good. Although I do think I've seen it somewhere else before... In simplest terms, the business needs to make some changes or be shut down. Will not be visiting again! read more

My family and I have been going to Julian Brothers for the last 10 years. And we will continue our patronage with them because they are simply the best. Whether it's the incredibly decadent tasting cakes, the sinfully amazing bumpy cake cupcakes, or the delicious Swedish meatballs, Julian Brothers "takes the cake" (pun intended). Mr. Julian himself is always so cordial and friendly. I will forever appreciate this place and all of the delicious products that they offer. I ALWAYS recommend Julian Brothers to anyone who asks me where I get my desserts from. read more

First and most important, this bakery has SALT RISING BREAD which is getting to be almost impossible to find. It was light, and delicious, with that flavor only SRB has. Especially good toasted. Next, I ordered a whole meat loaf. Really folks, this is as good as home made. Not greasy at all and topped with (I'm guessing) a mixture of catsup and BBQ sauce. A friend who went with me loved the broccoli/veggie salad with light vinaigrette. He also got multi grain bread, which was very good. Since yesterday was my first visit, I can't speak on ordering lunch or whatever, but everything we looked at in the bakery, freezer and deli counter looked superb. They even have several kinds of whole wheat pasta in the grocery section. The young ladies who waited on us couldn't have been more courteous. I'm really impressed with this place. read more

Just took the kids and a friend of my daughters to get a family tray after they exhausted themselves after BounceU up the street. Now, I had ordered the 16 pc square thinking it could feed the mob PLUS have some left over for the wife when she got home. Needless to say the "better half" had left over mac & cheese and a bowl of cereal for dinner because we CASHED that thing. The bottom of it wasn't crisp but soft (which I normally really hate) but it was REALLY good! This huge tray lasted maybe 7 minutes, we kicked that pie's ass like we just got out of prison. I had to write a follow up to my initial visit because the slices on display looked A LOT better than last time....I mean they looked REALLY good. Place was packed and as always the staff was super nice, friendly and helpful.....even all the different people bumping into me while we were waiting were really nice. Going back soon. read more

Don't pre-order from Julians! when I arrived for my pick-up they "didn't have time to make the complete order" went to pick up the remaining order, and wouldn't you know: they lost that too! Their bread is delicious, but not worth the $10.00 extra to pay to get my order right read more

I've ordered food for parties on a couple of different occasions. Fantastic potato salad and subs! Their menu offering is very expansive. Perfect to grab an individual bakery item, or food for your entire family. I found the prices to be fairly reasonable for what you get. read more

When I have dinner guests, I always get the cannoli. I'm Italian. Believe me when I say I know my cannoli! They are always fresh and fabulous! You can get the mini ones or the regular sized. I have never had a guest leave a bite of cannoli on their plate! I also love their bread. They slice it up for you and it's so good you may as well bring some butter and a knife to eat a slice on the way home. I also highly recommend the garlic/cheese breadsticks and their pizza ! Like Rachael Ray says, "Yummo!" This Italian is a happy Julian Brothers customer! read more
