Peach Cobbler! They ran out today! Trying the apple pie! Customer service was great!!!! Soul vibe for sure!

Still fantastic after eating here for almost 20 years! Please stop in not for not only delicious meals on the weekends, and of course their signature sweet potatoes delights; but also body care items, creative jewelry and clothing. I ordered sweet potato grits and salmon patties. I also had a delectable bottle of hibiscus tea, and bought a Wu Tang patch. read more

Family owned establishments just warm my heart!! They have so much food that's made with sweet potatoes it's amazing. Their sweet potato pie is delicious. I had the pleasure to dine in once and it was nice to sit and see the love that this place gets. Service was met with a smile. I've had the chicken and sweet potato waffles and the black eye pea and collard greens soup. I've also tried the sweet potato cookies. All were tasty. There is street parking. It sits on Lahser right across from the theatre and Artist Village. Right at Grand River. read more

Had the catfish and Mac & cheese & mashed potatoes It was very tasty I recommend it to everyone read more

The staff are really nice and patient with everyone there. They gave us their recommendations and helped us pick something out. We had the JT Special and the Chop Meal. The chicken wings in the JT special was delicious! Perfect to go with the waffles. The fried turkey chop was a little dry for my liking. As a whole, I think the foods decent and the staff are all very friendly. They also give you a lot of food for a good deal. read more

This order was brought to me via door dash.. I ordered a Sweet potato cake, sweet potato 4" pie and black eye pea and collard green soup. Let's start with the soup... I didn't get to taste it. As you can see this leaked completely through the brown bag it was placed it. The moment i lifted this bag, the entire container went through it and on the floor. REALLY!!! Horrible order packing on this one. As you can see the bag had no chance... sigh... Next up the sweet potato cake... I didn't get that either. Apparently they were out of it. That's truly the only thing i wanted. Rather than the restaurant reach out and ask about a substitution or refund option, they subbed the item on their own with cheesecake!!! They then had the audacity to UPCHARGE me for the cheesecake that I didn't even ask for nor want. Are you kidding me????It would have take 2 minutes of basic customer service to not lose a customer. read more

OMG, had it not been for the taste test I had at the Eastern Market, I would not have known about this company. The sweet potato pies are nostalgic. They are sooooo good. They remind me of my childhood. I miss my mom and my grandma so much. I miss their pies so much. Thank you for bringing me a little closer to my ancestors, thank you for the memories. The customer service and cleanliness of the store are on point. I love the little shop at the end of the store as well. read more

ordered through DoorDash and it was the most magnificent decadent meal i could ask for. 15/10 & it came still hot and ready to eat. will be patronizing more in the future !! read more

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. read more

I first came to Sweet Potato Sensations a few years ago with my mother for Thanksgiving pies and have been thinking about them since. This was one of the first stops I made on my trip back to Detroit. I got little individual pies - sugar free sweet potato, two sweet potato and a pecan/sweet potato combo as well as their amazing banana pudding. Everything was as good as I remembered it, if not better. The service was great as usual as well. Definitely worth the wait (when there is one) and absolutely recommend any and everything off the menu! read more

Tried the Collared Green /Black Eyed Pea Soup in early Oct. 2025. It was thin, well seasoned and had small amount of peas; quite delicious and unique combination. Went back today- Nov. 22, 2024; bought the soup again an I even raved about how good it is to my Niece who was with me. Got home and settled in to eat my soup. I was very disappointed! It was thick with lots of black eyed peas, which were tough, not done, and minimal collard greens! The seasoning wasn't even the same. Very disappointed considering I bought the quart size and paid over $17! I wonder did they change cooks or what?!! read more

I bought the salmon croquets, yams, mac, and two small sweet potato pies for my aunts and they both loved everything. They really raved over the large and flavorful salmon croquets. read more

I normally don't leave reviews but I have to. First I ordered 6 dinners .. 5 chicken and waffles. 1 salmon croquette. It took 50 minutes.. when asked the girl with an attitude said it's alot..it should be 2 more minutes but was more like 15 more minutes. the food was cold when it finally arrived! And top it all off.. my bill was $100! The sweetpotato waffle was tough and flavorless. I will never go back! And it was 3 small burned and cold chicken wings! And the turkey sausage was like rubber! read more

I have been looking forward to go to Sweet Potato Sensations for years. I've been hearing about it. I remember the Clintons came went there on one of their campaign trips to Detroit. I am a retired teacher and did a longterm subbing job at a school that is very close by. Every time I tried to go there it was closed. My son and his wife were visiting from Chicago and I wanted to bring them there, but again they were closed. One day I was finally on that side of town and went in on my own and they were open! I was the only person in the store. I asked the clerk a question. She seemed totally uninterested in helping me and acted like I was bothering her. She didn't smile once. I bought four small pies. They were not as good as I expected. I felt very unwelcome. Because I'm not from the local community? Not sure, but I don't think I'll go back. read more

Listen, I go down to Eastern Market every weekend just for these sweet potato pies. I always get the personal size- so you won't get too fat. Everyone is super nice at the table. The pies taste just like my grandma's. Highly recommend! read more

The restaurant/cafe style establishment was nice and very clean. I was visiting family for the weekend, since it was my dad's birthday. I wanted some peach cobbler and this spot did not disappoint. The pie was delicious!!!! If you want a whole pie, you must order in advance a few days ahead, I believe. I have tasted a lot of pies in my 54 years and this was by far the best!! My only complaint is that the pie was really pricey. I would charge $5, instead of $7 or $8. I think it was $8. read more

This is a wonderful Black-owned business nestled in Old Redford. Do yourself a favor and try their sweet potato pie, sweet potato cheesecake, or their collard green soup!!! It's an intimate place with room to dine in. They are usually bustling on the weekends and when the Redford Theater has a show going. They are attentive and restock things that sell quickly. There's also an area that offers items for sell from local vendors and artists. Drop in and keep this Black business thriving! read more

I happened in one morning needing a quick bite. I got the black eyed pea soup because it was ready immediately. It was delicious!!! So good that after my appointment, I took my husband back for lunch, same day. We both ate and loved every bit!! We will definitely go back and highly recommend this establishment to others. read more

The sweet Potato pie was good. I was not a fan of their food options. Their menu for food is small, and I tried majority of the items offered. You can't go wrong with their dessert. read more

Supporting local and black owned business. Dessert = 2 for $7 (mini pies) This is my 2nd time visiting here but this around it was only for dessert. I tried the sweet potato cheesecake, lemon, and sweet potato pie. Honestly I wanted to love the cheesecake but the taste was TOO sweet and something wasn't balance. Let me end on positive (of course) - try the food which is amazing; clearly I need to increase my food pallet instead of the sweet pallet. Happy Eating!!! read more

I always get the salmon croquettes sandwich. It's crispy and delicious. They're sweet potato pie are unmatched

Limited menu for food. Great choices for baked goods. You can sit and eat and relax.

The sweet potato cheesecake and lemon chess pie are my favorite desserts here. I also like the soup. I've purchased t-shirt that I love as well. Stop in and enjoy! read more

Nice place for a sweet potato treat. Ice cream offerings from Hershey are tasty. Ordered a turkey sandwich and was disappointed. The bread was very dry and seemed either old or left on counter for a while. Only finished half the sandwich and it took about ten minutes to arrive when we were first in line. read more

Sweet Potato Sensations - Turkey Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The food was pretty good. I just find that everywhere I have ordered a turkey chop in Detroit has cooked it hard & it is typically dried out. A turkey chop is not the same as a pork chop & it doesn't need to be cooked so long, it's not going to wake up & walk off the plate. The sweet potato pancakes were delicious & the grits were cooked to perfection. The flavor of the sweet potato cake was great but it was dry; it could be because it was cold. Next time I'm going to request that my chop isn't cooked hard. I will give them another try. read more

The family got some these delightful goodies at the Eastern Market. I am a big fan of chess pie and this one was lemon! It was spectacular. It got a couple round hand size pies and another family member got a sweet potato cookie. The cookie was big, soft, and fresh. It tasted like it had nuts in it. The pie was delicious and fresh. I paired it with some Trader Joes lemon ice cream which went perfectly. I put the pie crust into the ice cream, amazing. The chess pie filling was perfect, a nice bruleed with a silky creamy filling. I would buy these again. read more

I had to come here after hearing so many things about it I tried the Chicken and Sweet Potato Waffles along with the Black Eyed Pea and Collard Greens soup. The soup was delicious. The chicken and waffles were lukewarm. I wished they would have served it to me while it was hot. Other than that everything was great. read more

I got a sugar free sweet potato pie on Sunday at a market and didn't refrigerate it. Sadly by day 2 a spider like web had formed which is a sign of molding. The business owner told the customer next to me to refrigerate her item but not me. Somehow a hole was in the plastic but I don't know if that contributed to the pie deteriorating. Needless to say, now I have to check my cookie for molding and will follow up with another review. read more

The dessert here is awesome. I have never had any of the food although I've heard very good things about the food. This is the only reason why I give a 4 and not a 5. The cakes are moist and very flavorful. The service is also friendly and attentive. read more

This place is phenomenal!! The staff is super nice and friendly, I love great customer service and that is what I found here. The food is amazing as normal. The desserts are so so good. I had the mango peach cobbler which was so good! Sweet in a great way, perfect amount of crust. The vegan lemon blueberry cake is light and moist. It leaves such a great flavor in your mouth. I got some black eyed pea and collard soup and took it home to eat. It was so perfectly delicious I drove the 20 minutes back the same day for another bowl! Please do yourself a favor and stop here! You will not be sorry! read more

Love this place ! The food is good and perfectly seasoned . The staff is also very Friendly.

10 out of five. Yes that is correct. I didn't even have time to take pictures, I was too busy chowing down on my pies and cobbler!! Sweet potato ice cream, pancakes, waffles, grits, and so much more. They have single serve pies and family size. They scoop your ice cream scoops, pints, etc fresh in front of you. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Oh, I'll be back. read more

Mmmm sweet potato pie good year round not just thanksgiving I buy a small one and eat it in the car yum

I'd not been here in a while but when I was seeing a Redford theater movie I automatically thought of them. They don't keep late hours but they were open matinee times so I couldn't resist. I had the collard green black eye pea soup (which can be had without meat) and just loved it. But they are of course known for all types of sweet potato cookies cakes , pies, cheesecakes,etc but their lunches are good too. it's a smaller eat-in area and mostly a Togo place with a thriving repeat business. With a friendly and quick staff I'll absolutely be back. And I have seen them at several farmer's markets. read more

Food and service always great. I definitely eat there regularly. The greens, beans, and ham soup is a must try. Especially if you sick, it's definitely the cure to feeling better. read more

We've always wanted to try Sweet Potato Sensations and are trying to support small businesses, so we decided to check it out for brunch. Seeing that pancakes and waffles don't travel especially well, we packed up our coffee, favorite syrup and hot sauce and headed to pickup some takeout to eat in the car. While the staff was incredibly friendly and their safety measures strong, their pickup system could be fine tuned. Despite the phone message offering curbside, we were told you needed to come inside. We ordered over the phone and were texted when our order was ready. Unfortunately, there was a line outside waiting for their turn to go inside. I completely understand the need to limit people inside, but the line moved slowly and by the time my husband got the food back to the car, it had cooled significantly. It seems like one person doing curbside delivery, while another helps people shopping the bakery selections would be more efficient. We enjoyed our meals of sweet potato waffles, sweet potato pancakes, salmon croquettes, turkey sausage, turkey chop and black-eyed pea & collard soup with a sweet potato cornbread. Our favorites were the soup, turkey chops and turkey sausage. The food was tasty, but I feel the prices were a bit on the high side. We also brought home a sampling of desserts including peach-mango cobbler, sweet potato cake, sweet potato and coconut and sweet potato pecan mini pies. They all look amazing, but we're still too full to try them yet. I wish I could give half points in this case, because I'd give this place is a solid 3.5. Update - After trying some of the desserts, I am changing my review to four stars. The sweets are the strong point of SPS and very good indeed! read more
