I stopped in here because I was picking up my sandwich at the deli. The staff is super polite and helpful, I was able to try the gelato which was delicious 10/10 and I purchased two lemon cupcakes 10/10, a whipped pastry 10/10, and lemon cloud pastry 10/10. I love this place! read more

Okay, this review might be a bit of a stretch, but I felt compelled to write it. I have never been here, but my friend was. And they were kind enough to bring be back a package of the Currant Walnut Rugelach. Because my know my love of premium bake goods, and specific passion for pastries that go with Chai Latte, this was a real treat. I am thinking of making my own trip to Ann Arbor just to stop in a get some more. So good! read more

Coffee is stellar, but they're really slipping on baked good. Crusant(sp) is bland, dry and there's nowhere warm it up, even behind the register. Pretty much a Jo brainer to have a microwave people can use. To be quite honest, I think this place is resting in its laurels when it comes to baked goods. Everything is overpriced and just not all that special. I appreciate the owners backstory and the brands community based values but they need to step it up on baked goods particularly. I'm not excited about their pastries whatsoever, especially when places like bird dog in ypsi have a superior sourdough that gets me through the week perfectly. Step it up guys read more

If you have never eaten any Zingerman's gluten carbs, then you have not lived in Michigan long. Sour dough and 8 grain breads are good here. I have yet to try their other bakery items. I am glad some Zingerman's bread items are available at many of my local shops, but it would be even better to have a bake house. read more

What an incredible experience. Soo many sweets. I wanted to try them all. Incredible cakes . Amazing candies. We got my b day cake here and it was best I ever had . I will definitely go back. read more

Last year, we enjoyed a meal at Zingerman's Roadhouse and the cake from the Bakehouse was very good that we decided to order it again this year. I placed a phone order for pickup on graduation day and it was just as good. It is a full service bakery with lots of artisan bread and retail shop. My sister who was in town for graduation as well, wanted to pick up some sweets and couldn't decide between 2 items. The associate offered to let us sample the two which we did. He was knowledgeable about the sweets. And she ended up buying both! That is great customer service! Prices are on the higher end but it was worth it. read more

Another classic Zingerman's location! We stopped in on our trip to pick up breakfast treats for the family. We purchased two of the coffee cakes (traditional sour cream and berry, the latter of which was the favorite), a pan of cinnamon rolls, and a loaf of banana bread. We also impulse purchased a lemon cloud pastry which was truly to die for! The baked goods were very tasty! The cinnamon rolls were an absolute hit and gone in minutes. The coffee cakes were good but they were a bit dry. The inside of the shop is warm and inviting and staffed by very knowledgeable and friendly people who made our trip easy! If you'd like a fresh loaf of bread, a killer cinnamon roll, or a to-die-for lemon pastry (not to mention their beautiful cakes) then drop in after your trip to Zingerman's Delicatessen! Pro tip: Zingerman's Bakehouse is in a warehouse district and is a little confusing to access, but they have very clear signage outside to follow! read more

I have rediscovered the joys of sour cream coffee cake! Oh my! I am a townie and maybe I overlooked this treasure because I have enjoyed other yummy treats but NOW it is SCCC for me! There seem to be more nuts (?), maybe a softer more buttery taste (?) or maybe I am just pausing long enough to notice. Yum is my review! read more

I love all of their spots. This is outstanding for high quality cakes and pastries. We always get company goodies here. The coffee cakes and breads are particularly fab! read more

I stopped by to try their rye bread (bread of the month) and also impulsively picked up a pogcsa. I'm usually not a huge fan of rye bread, but this loaf was on the lighter side and had a perfect balance of flavors. The crumb was fine and even without huge holes in the bread. The crust was nice and chewy. As for the pogcsa, the worker described it as a cross between a biscuit and a scone. It fit in the palm of my hand, kind of an average size of a biscuit. It was flakey on the inside with laminated layers, and tasted of rich butter and a lot of dill. I'm glad to have tried it, although I probably wouldn't get it again since there's so many other things to try. The place was packed when I visited in the morning, but there were plenty of workers and the line moved quickly. read more

Always great bread and the servers are the best! If you come in when they have oatmeal crème pies, buy as many as you can!

OMG! is right, the OMG! cupcake is a MUST for any chocolate lovers & the chocolate eclair was equally as perfect with it's creamy vanilla custard like filling. We treated ourselves to dessert while waiting on our deli order. Loved the ambiance and whole vibe of the Zingerman's world! read more

I really like their delicate ricotta donut (available Sundays only, from 8am) . It is airy and light, and almost like a Japanese pastry in sweetness (i.e. under-sweetened, compared to American taste in donuts/candy). Yet 1 is enough to be satisfied. I also like the vanilla cruller donut (Saturdays only)- this one is much sweeter and eggier, while not being too heavy- I have nicknamed it the poor woman's soufflé^_^ read more

This is going to sound snobby but I just don't like bread/bagels from the grocery store anymore. Zingerman's Bakehouse has ruined me. I am literally here 1-2x a week at this point. My go-to for fresh baked bread, my favorite poppyseed bagels, and really delicious and unique cream cheese. The bakehouse also has a to-go sandwiches (think more "normal" than the huge Z deli ones), soups, salads, pastries, cakes/cookies/brownies, frozen items, some pantry items, and a small selection of other Zingerman's favorites. All very high quality and fresh. Some of my favorite weekly specials - Dave Makes Pasta fresh pasta and sauce (new on Thursdays), their Sat morning vanilla cruller, and Wednesday lunch time grilled cheese and tomato soup (so good). My trick with bread loaves is to get them sliced in store for me, then when I get home, I'll take half of the loaf and stick it in the freezer. This allows us to get through the whole loaf without it getting stale. It's easy to pop a slice of frozen bread into the toaster and it tastes like new after we get through the fresh half. Location is easy to get to, with plenty of parking. Follow the signs or GPS if it's your first time, and when you get to the lane with purple/orange, you're in the right place. It seems to get extra busy around lunch time. Consistently nice and friendly workers, even when it's busy. Outdoor seating is great for lunch when the weather's nice. Might as well check out the Creamery, Coffee Shop, and Candy store while you're there! All in the same plaza. They each have different hours though, so make you look that up and plan accordingly! If you go here a lot for bread, make sure to get the bread punch card. Ten loaves to get a free loaf! read more

Personally, we kind of thought that this place was a bit overrated. It was a bit crowded and when we tried our pastries, they were just okay. In our experience, the artisan breads are what you should come for. Very yummy especially when they are fresh! We do love what it seems the company provides for the community, in terms of classes and other community events. That's super awesome. read more

The Congratulations box is wonderful. Interesting variety and so good. Loved the berry coffee cake. A 9 whereas the sour cream and walnut is a solid 10. The chocolate truffles are lovely and delicious. I also enjoyed the Maine cheddar. The spiced pecans are addictive. read more

It gets busy in here! Great place to stop for lunch! Good assortment of breads and sweets! I came in to order a cake for a birthday and when I went to pick it up it wasn't exactly what I had wanted, luckily Zingerman's was very accommodating and tried to remedy the situation. If you are ordering a cake for a specific occasion I recommend talking directly and sitting down with the cake director so there aren't any misunderstandings. read more

Apparently I wasn't sick of paczki yet after eating a ton of them from three bakeries over the pre-paczki day weekend. On paczki day, I decided to try another two places and Zingerman's was the one I was most excited about. I had heard about a group of people who tried paczki at 15 different places around Ann Arbor and Detroit and found Zingerman's to be the best. Given that news and the fact that I love pretty much everything that Zingerman's Bakehouse puts out, my expectations were pretty high. I walked in the shop at approximately 10AM in the morning on Fat Tuesday and found a line nine parties deep, which is one of the busiest I've ever seen this shop. At this point, they had already run out of my top choice, rosehip, but they still had all the other flavors. I picked up two paczki and a slice of King Cake (also a limited special) to try out. King Cake Slice ($4.99) - This is a Northern French-style Galette des Rois rather than a New Orleans-style King Cake. This consisted of super buttery whole grain puff pastry layers that encapsulated a rich almond frangipane filling. The layers are baked until they develop a bit of a crunch. Instead of a light buttery taste I normally associate with puff pastry items, this one had a much deeper, nutty, browned taste. The layers kind of collapsed together and the cake overall didn't have nearly the height or puffiness that the pictures on Zingerman's Bakehouse website shows. The frangipane is heavily almond fragranced, very apparent smelling as soon as I lifted the pastry up. My first impression as I bit through the slice was that it was baked a bit too long, a bit dried out and mushed together. Then again, I haven't had an authentic slice of Galette des Rois before, so I don't know if it was over baked or is just supposed to be like this. Ricotta Paczki ($3.49) - The first thing I noticed was that this paczki was fried quite a bit unevenly - one side was way darker than the other. As I bit into it, the outermost layer kind of peeled off on both sides. This was kind of strange as it's something that didn't happen in any of the other paczki I tried. The dough was chewy, but the chew felt less like a brioche chew and more like a bready chew with a lot of gluten development. It was by far the most bread-like of the five bakeries I tried. I did like the filling - the tanginess of the ricotta really came through and balanced well with the slight sweetness of just a bit of added sugar. Chocolate Cream Paczki ($3.49) - This time the fry seemed to be to be similar on both side, but both sides were also quite dark, indicating that perhaps it was over-fried. In addition, the darker fried areas glistened in the light and made me wonder if it absorbed too much oil in the frying process. Then again, the skin didn't peel off of this one unlike the ricotta paczki. Texture-wise, it was pretty much the same as the ricotta. And again, I loved the filling; rich chocolate flavor with a perfect amount of sweetness that still allowed the natural bitterness of the chocolate to shine. Overall the paczki had great fillings but the dough was only okay. To be honest, these were probably some of the worst offerings I've gotten from Zingerman's, right next to their bagels. I'm not sure if it's just this batch that wasn't great or if they are always like this every year. I would not get them again given other bakeries around that are plainly better. If I had to rate the paczki by themselves they would be a 3 and the King Cake would be between a 3 and 4. Still, overall Zingerman's Bakehouse still deserves my original 5 star review given how great most of their other items are. Maybe I should just stay away from their once-in-a-year items. read more

Zingerman's BAKE had one of the best cooking/baking classes I've ever taken. I did a course on making Danishes that was a great experience. The instructors were knowledgeable and helpful, and every part of the experience was well-timed and thought out. Danishes require a laminated dough which is hard to pull off in 4 hours. So, over the course of the class we: made our own butter block and dough; shaped and filled dough that BAKE staff had made the day before; laminated our dough; egg washed and prepared the shaped danishes for baking; tasted the baked pastries. At the end of the class, we received 18 baked danishes, our laminated dough and filling (enough to make 18 more), and recipes for the dough and fillings. The class was tons of fun and educational, and with all the danishes we got to take home I definitely felt like we got the value out of the price. Highly recommend taking a class along with a friend or family member! read more

As a result, I'm including all three of Zingermans' businesses: the creamery, the roastery cafe, and the bakehouse. simply because they were linked together, and of course I had to look at each one. So watching the bake! class was fun; I wish I had signed up, but I'm sure the classes fill up quickly. A favorite food of mine was the delicious cheese in the creamery. I was eager to try every delicious item. In addition, they offered yummy gelato. The roastery cafe was the final stop. I enjoyed a perfectly made, creamy, and smooth latte. In addition, I bought some chocolate and other items from the cafe's candy factory side, which appealed to me because of how beautifully decorated it was. read more

1st and foremost ****John*****is an amazing associate! This strip mall of Zingerman's across the way from Pittsfield Township Costco is phenomenal. They have several shops available with everything from fresh roasted and brewed Coffee to a wide variety of imported and freshly made Candy. Not to mention dairy, all kinds of locally made and US made cheeses, & platters, and all the accompaniments. The there's the BAKERY with every sweet known to man INCLUDING scones, cinnamoN rolls, pies, cakes, breads, sliced OR unsliced whatever you prefer. Bagels, Pasties. (an Upper Peninsula delicious meat pie). Sandwiches, salads, fruit and nut breads. You really can't beat the service. You can ask for suggestions and the team there is always very helpful. John was a delight. We had a great conversation and of course he asked about Austin when he found out that's where I was from. I told him at 1 million people it's not the same Austin we moved to 30 years ago!!! Thankfully some things don't change and Zingermans maintains the highest quality in everything they offer! We love this company and the area where it's located-of course if you are in A2 proper the restaurant also offers all the products available out here too! Check it out if you are near or far as their online catalog may be calling your name!!!! read more

Zingerman's defines the word excellence in food I have spent many years and hours at this place of food excellence. When I walk into the Deli I find employees celebrating their jobs. All are anxious to serve you and make your life at Zingerman's special. Zingermans is indeed special to Ann Arbor and to the world which also enjoys the Zingermans spirit. Be prepared for a good time at Zingermans. The ambiance is catching and you still feel the joy as you leave Zingermans. I rate Zingermans at a "great star" experience.. Anthony Muraski read more

Zingerman's Bakehouse - Ham cheese Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Zingerman's Bakehouse, like the other Zingerman's ventures, has a wide range of products and really great marketing. Most of their products that I've tried have ranged from ok to pretty good. Compared to other local bakeries, the draw of Zingerman's is the sheer variety of products that they carry--they have many speciality bakes (such as Jewish and Hungarian baked goods) that aren't available elsewhere in the area. The ingredients and nutrition facts listed on their website are also helpful. However, for many of the individual items they make, there are better options from other local bakeries. Prices are pretty high, but many of their products can be found elsewhere for slightly cheaper, e.g. at Plum Market or Sparrow Market. For sourdough bread, Bird Dog Baking and White Lotus Farms are better options. Zingerman's bread is ok (better than Avalon), and they do have some speciality loaves like dinkelbrot and vollkornbrot that other places nearby don't carry. For croissants, White Lotus Farms and other farmers market purveyors are better options. Service is great. During COVID-19 they're limiting capacity in the store (and have actually enforced it in my experience). The online ordering system is convenient and efficient. Recommended: -Bostock - twice-baked brioche with frangipane -Ginger scone -Pecan blondie -Funky chunky chocolate chip cookies - earthy and delicious -Sour cream coffee cake Pretty good: -Chocolate cherry bread -Dinkelbrot (spelt loaf) -Triple trouble chocolate cookie -Black magic brownie -Lemon scones -Hot cocoa coffee cake -Jumbleberry pie -Chestnut Rigó Jancsi - seasonal variation; the chestnut rum cream is good -8-grain 3-seed bread - I like this bread but prefer the versions from White Lotus and Crust -Lemon Merenga (lemon meringue tart) - not bad but I think Cannelle/Great Commoner makes a better version -Cinnamon rolls - not bad but Crust makes a better version -Cranberry orange muffin - more cake-like compared to the other muffins Just OK: -Croissants and danishes -Currant scone -Blueberry muffin -Maple bran muffin -Lemon cloud - mix between a danish and a donut, with a small amount of lemon curd in the middle -(Regular) Rigó Jancsi Not good: -Ginger jump-up cookie - not very gingery or spicy; the ginger molasses cookies at White Lotus are better -Townie brownie -Dobos Torta - buttercream is very buttery; we had to throw most of it out -French cruller - denser and less flavor than expected read more

I knew about this shop because their chocolate bars were being sold at the hotel that I was staying in. They looked delicious, so I thought that I would check out the store. I was not disappointed. The chocolate was to die for. There were so many options to choose from, and the person I met behind the counter was warm and friendly. I told her that it would be dangerous for me to have this shop so close to where I live because I would be coming in for the chocolate all the time. There was an impressive selection of flavors, and I was very happy. I would definitely come here again the next time I'm in Michigan. read more

Sometimes there's strange desserts you look past, like coconut-covered cinnamon long-Johns, or a pie made completely from walnuts and candy-canes. If this place made those, I'd by two. Everything I've purchased here is delicious - coffee cakes, muffins, pastries, croissants......walnut candy-cane pie (kidding)....all of it. Cranberry Orange Muffin and Lemon Poppyseed Coffee Cake are my favs. Try everything at least once, you won't regret it. The best part - they have baking classes next door, usually about $90-$150 per person, virtual or in-person. Before you hedge at the price, I'll tell you - you make everything in the class, and sometimes (all the time?) you'll take ingredients home to make more. Me and my kid went home with 28 croissants, plus ingredients for 28 more. read more

I've been drinking coffee since I was about 5 years old. It was Sanka with my great grandfather, so can we really call that coffee? I think it was the full experience of feeling grown up and hanging out with a great man in the summer. Fast forward a few *ahem* years and I've become a bit of a connoisseur, in my own right. Naturally when I visit a place, one of my first Google searches is for "Best coffee". This place popped up and I followed the directions that took me to a business park. I was skeptical. Then intrigued. THEN, impressed. The entire concept, never mind the block long business occupancy, was unique. Bakery, coffee, cafe, candy, classes, yes! All of it!! So many options, Andy I can't wait to visit again! read more

Jumblebery pie I struggle to see how anyone can rate this pie highly. It is too sweet, the pastry is too thick and heavy almost like a fortress around the berry mixture, Get someone to make a pie with freshly picked raspberries, blackberries and blueberries ( cranberries optional) with a bit of grated apple so less cornstarch is used for thickening. Now that is a pie that tastes like summer. read more
