And also because of my anticipation, and inevitable disappointment. I have been staring at this exact place for over 8 years of my life, and never got to go. School always started and ended from 7:00am to 3:30pm, which also happens to be the opening and closing times of Elwin's bakery. And finally, on a half day and on my way to work, I stopped in a grabbed what I had time for. I got a Raspberry White Chocolate scone, and a Salted Caramel scone with a little drizzle of vanilla frosting. When I walked in, Elwin greeted me incredible warm, and we had a nice conversation about working in the service industry, despite our completely different tastes. Pizza and sweet scones? Not a HUGE difference, obviously. But this isn't about me, it's about beautiful Elwin. Oh Elwin I love you. I took them to work with me, and I will be 100% honest with you. They were LACKING in MULTIPLE flavor profiles. First of all, the "Raspberry" White Chocolate scone might've been the inspiration for those 1% sugar cereals our parents got us as a kid to "eat healthier". I would be shocked to find out this had any type of berry in it, let alone the Popeye's biscuit type of texture. It's like biting into a beachfront, and not in a good way. I'm trying to imply it's as dry as sand. The Salted Caramel one with the drizzle on it was much better though. But I will admit I really don't taste any of these flavors, at all. I mostly just taste biscuit bread with a little bit of a buttery kick, and I HATE things that are too dry, it ruins the whole experience. And sadly, these are some of the driest scones I've ever had before. Maybe I don't understand the food, hopefully when I get older. Not disrespect to Elwin, or my grandma (of course). One of the most beautiful and special places in all of Berkley in my opinion. I beg of you to AT LEAST try it, regardless of what I have to say about it. Elwin is truly a great guy and he deserves your money, your respect, and your opinion. If you are ever in Berkley in the morning and trying to get a cup of coffee and a bone-scone, come on over to Elwin & Co. It's not terrible. 3/5

It was dense, dry and tasted somewhat stale, with very little flavor or anything, especially no lemon flavor. We thought maybe hearting one up might make them taste better and have better mouth feel, but NOPE, still heavy and dry and tasteless. What a waste of $6.50! These are in the trash bin. Needless to say we won't be buying any other Elwin & Co products!

She had a lot of diffetent flavors available, and after a quick explanation of how they differ, I've decided to go with 3 flavors: cookies and cream, peach and cherry cheesecake. I heated them up in a microwave for 10 seconds and all of them were delicious! Soft and fluffy. I just wished they're a little bigger. Super happy we have vegan place to grab cinnamon rolls, and I'll definetly be back!

I may be a little biased towards On The Rise Bakery, but rightfully so.

The ROPE program consists of men recently released from prison or that have completed a substance abuse treatment program. Each purchase of baked goods goes towards housing, training, counseling, education, and self-help programs for these men. It's a great mission, and the baked goods are great, as well! My personal favorite is and will always be the peanut butter cookie. You can find On The Rise inside the Solanus Casey Center.

This is the wholesale bakery counterpart of Cannelle Patisserie in Birmingham and downtown Detroit…read more I've tried several of their croissants at coffee shops in the Ann Arbor area. Since the ones I've tried were baked earlier before being transported, they probably weren't the freshest and consequently were soft and not flaky at all. So I wouldn't be surprised if the products at Cannelle Patisserie were significantly more enjoyable due to freshness. But for Golden Wheat at least I agree with another review that the items I've tried here were "not bad but not awesome either". The croissant dough here is chewy, denser, quite sweet, and not the most buttery in flavor (the aftertaste is more buttery). I've probably liked the plain croissant and the zaatar croissant the most. The zaatar croissant I tried had raw dough in the center and the outside was too dry, but the flavor was good and there was a lot of zaatar swirled throughout. I didn't like the other items I tried. The pain au chocolat (aka chocolate croissant) only has one strip of chocolate, as mentioned in other reviews, and it's very soft chocolate, not a high quality bar. The cinnamon roll is on the bready side (think Asian bakery bread but denser and harder) and the filling isn't super cinnamony, but it's also not overly sweet; personally I prefer the ones from Crust. The almond croissant is very soft and flat, but it felt a bit like I was eating raw dough, and texturally the dough and filling felt sort of similar.

Before leaving I stopped by to purchase the banana pudding cheesecake. It looked good, and I hadn't tried it. It was the absolute best thing I bought at the festival. Hands down.

But it also has the full flavor and creaminess of banana pudding as well. The banana pudding also gave a lightness to what some may expect from a more dense dessert. You can taste that real ingredients were used and not just artificial flavors. Dangerously delicious and decadent!
