This is a local gem!! Yes, the place takes ya back, but that's one of the things that makes this place special! Comfortable seating area for regulars. It looks like there are small groups that meet for coffee, company and some baked goods. This place has been around a long time and it is still here because it has heart! Their baked goods are delicious too! We won't forget that. Impromptu cakes, no problem. They always have some available. I have bought and have partaken in quite a few cakes and they are all moist, flavorful with tasty frosting that isn't greasy. Lovely buttercream! I love picking up their home made breads. Banana, cherry, strawberry and more! They have many many items to choose from, donuts, danishes, cookies and fresh baked breads. Take a look at their "day old" items, still great at a lower price. The service is always friendly, quick and welcoming. This place is worth a stop! read more

Bartz Bakery - Yea I wouldn't recommend for cakes...a lot of air bubbles. - Bakeries Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

best cakes and pastries. good prices too. They are generous with frosting on cupcakes which I like.

This pre-Paczki day weekend, we decided to try out and compare three different paczki bakeries. Bartz was second on our list. We hadn't been before, but it seemed like a Dearborn staple and a good place to get classic, old school paczki. When we stopped by on Saturday morning, there were a number of customers just lounging at the tables, sipping at coffee and nibbling on pastries. Seemed pretty promising! Service here was super friendly and quick, and we decided on getting a couple of different flavors. Paczki ($3.33 Each) - We got three flavors, the traditional prune, chocolate, and buttercream. I hadn't had prune filling before so I had to at least try it out. The prune comes in quite a thick jam and the prune taste was very strong. I guess if you like prune, you will like this? For me - let's just say there's a reason I avoided getting prune for this long haha. For the other two paczki, the chocolate filling tasted and felt like those Snack Pack chocolate pudding cups. The buttercream was less of a dense and stiff buttercream and more like light whipped frosting with a heavy powdered sugar/frosting taste. To be honest, I didn't really like any of the fillings here. The paczki were glazed like donuts and the texture and mouthfeel was very similar to that of a donut: light and airy, with uneven bubbles in the crumb. The fillings easily displaced/compressed the dough. It was not nearly as light as, say, a Krispy Kreme or commercial donut; instead, it was similar to a good quality home made yeast donut. To be clear - I could definitely tell it was not a donut - the crumb structure held together better and it had a bit more of a chew. It's just that out of the three bakeries I tried, this one was by far the most donut-like. I wish I had bought an actual donut from Bartz for a comparison! I personally would not get the paczki again from Bartz. They tasted good enough, but I don't think there's enough to differentiate them from a normal filled donut. I would, however, possibly go again to pick up other treats in the future. Of the three paczki bakeries we visited, Bartz had the most homey, classic vibe. Just your everyday neighborhood bakery slinging out yummy pastries and bread. It's not a place you go out of the way for, but it's somewhere for locals and people who happen to visit the area. read more

One of the best bakeries I've been to. I've never been disappointed. Try the bumpy cake and filled cupcakes as well as the polish twists (Kruschke). I always check their 'day old' rack near the door for special bargains. they're still plenty fresh. read more

Great Bakery in the heart of Dearborn. Great service and great baked goods coming together in one place.

Fun and tasty goodies, always busy because they're always good! Nice helpers and nice customers make this a great bakery!

Bartz is a local bakery with solid baked goods and tasty treats. We always enjoy paczki from here for Fat Tuesday before Lent. We also enjoy their layered cakes like the Black Forest Cake. We also enjoy getting their Yule Logs for Christmas. They have a large variety of cookies, cakes, breads, rolls, and other pastries to try as well as a few non-sweet treat options. It's nice to shop local as well. Everyone is friendly and helpful when we call or go in. Thanks for all your years of service in Dearborn! read more

This seems like your typical neighborhood bakery. I don't think it's anything life altering, but they're a solid place to go to. They had lots to choose from- donuts, pastries, cookies, cakes, and misc treats. The kolachy cookies are my favorite. The prices are definitely super reasonable and worth it. Bartz seems like a great community location, and I can see myself passing by from time to time. read more

We stopped by today and got a few things there. It was our first and last time. Even though goods look nice they weren't fresh at all. Dry poppy seed coffee cake, dry cherry danish and not tasty at all cherry square. I don't know how this place had so many happy customers. Their baker should take a class and learn from polish market read more

I've been going here for 20 plus years, I realized that I've never left a Yelp review. Bartz is an old school bakery, like the ones that have disappearing all over. Great place to grab some fresh bread, donuts, a birthday cake, etc.. We wanted donuts this morning, and I used Doordash to have them deliver. I ordered a dozen variety donuts, plus an apple fritter, a cream horn and 2 Napoleons. They gave us a great variety of donuts, some cream filled, a jelly, etc.. All were nice and fresh! The cream horn was nice and crispy, the apple fritter looked great. The Napoleons are something I always get there and they are always good. I usually get cream puffs there, they are always good. The variety that they have in store is amazing, I mean, how do they make so many different Things? Anyway, if you're in the area and have a sweet tooth, stop by and pick something up, you will leave with more than you thought. Btw, they make good paczki, Fat Tuesday is near! read more

fresh bread each Saturday for breakfast at home. Sneak in a pastry too :) to top it all off.

Donuts are not as good as they use to be. Fillings are slim - even though donuts are smaller and should be filled. Prices are high for quality of pastries. Break is always fresh. Last few times Rolls have not been fresh and only lasted 1 day at home. Friendly service but I'm paying for good donuts like they used to have. This was the best bakery in Dearborn years ago but not anymore. I don't mind paying more for good quality, which is lacking here. read more

I finally stopped here after passing by many times on my way to and from the airport. I tried the carrot cake, German chocolate cupcake, and two other vanilla cupcakes. While they were good, they were not the best tasting. I will definitely come back though. For now I'll give three stars, but I do want to return and try some of the pepperoni bread and other treats they have. read more

When you walk into Bartz you get hit hard by the smell of baked, sugary goodness. You know what I'm talking about? That warm, sweet smell of baking cookies, icing, rising bread, and crumbs. So so fabulous! The place is overwhelming in a good way. Tons of cookies to choose from. From standard bakery fair--sugar cookies, chocolate chip, etc., to more specialty and ethnic fare like kolachky (holla!). A wide variety of pastries are also cheap and look delicious. Doughnuts and cinnamon rolls, cakes and pies. It's a sugar addict's dream come true! The sandwich eaters will also be happy here when they see the loaves of bread available--french, italian, etc. I didn't catch if they had rye bread but I'm sure they do. The prices are totally reasonable and even on the cheap side, which is great if you're on a budget. In the end I reined myself in and settled on a loaf of cinnamon bread and a raspberry pastry stick. The pastry was flaky and sweet. The raspberries tasted fresh. A delicious little treat for around a buck. And HUGE. I easily split it with my grandma that night and had plenty leftover. The cinnamon bread is soft and fluffy and had a great cinnamon swirled flavor, topped with sweet white icing. A great treat toasted up with some sliced apples and nutella or just alone or with a slathering of butter. Yowza! read more

I ordered apricot pastries and they had no flavor. I thought it was my sinus cold. The apricot pastries taste old and that taste like they weren't completely cooked to return them. A coworker told me to return them that they were badPaczkis were OK. THE FILLING taste like cheap jelly/Bible gum taste. Yuk read more

Moved back to Dearborn Heights last August and I drive by here everyday. First time actually stopping in. Got a dozen donuts (2 not pictured ) and 2 small cups of coffee. The donuts that I ate were great! Bought the rest for my bf to take to work. The woman who helped me was very friendly and asked if I needed anything right away. Forgot to ask her name though. read more

Best Jewish white bread! Fantastic cakes and don't leave without the walnut crescent rolls...yum!

I stopped by Bartz Bakery when a sweet tooth ached after lunch with my husband. Walking in, your nose is met with a rich cinnamon scent. I drove up thinking I'd get a cupcake or a brownie... my number one priority became finding whatever that amazing cinnamon smell came from! I walked around the bakery and checked out their various offerings. They had loaves of bread, various decorated cookies, cupcakes, rolls, donuts, bagels and cakes. I found the delicious-smelling cinnamon rolls and ordered a couple of those first. They were only $.60! That's cheaper than the packaged ones at the gas station. I also picked out a couple cupcakes, a small pineapple upside down cake and a chocolate eclair. I got six goodies and my total was $6.60. Extremely fair, especially considering two cupcakes at Just Baked runs $7+. Everything I bought was tasty. The red velvet cupcake wasn't in the top five I've eaten, though. It tasted like vanilla with a mild cream cheese frosting, instead of the rich chocolatey flavor with a sweet cream cheese frosting that they normally have. Overall, I was still happy with my purchase and the prices paid. If you're in the area, stop by Bartz Bakery to check out their large selection of baked goods! read more

Overall a decent place to stop by if you're really in need of dessert. Dearborn has a plethora of dessert spots so the standard is very high. There is a wide variety of desserts when entering the bakery. Cakes, cupcakes, donuts, pies, all kinds of goodies that will catch your eye. The desserts I ordered were okay nothing to exciting in regards to flavor. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye but not to the palate. I did venture out later in the day. It may be better if your go in earlier. read more

Their bakery is dry bland and not good .. not sure if it's because they are now commercialized ! I bought several items at Treentwood Farms while in town and every item was dry and tasteless the poppy seed coffee cake tasted like almond and it was dry! All their products were terrible beware don't but these do not taste any like your childhood!! read more

They make a really good cherry pie as well as other pastries and goods. They staff is nice.

Love this local family bakery! From donuts to pies to cakes to cookies- they have it all. I love the donuts and local family friendliness!!

This bakery has been in this neighborhood for over 60 years. I have been going there for most of these years. Lately there service has been disappointing. I ordered a cake for a birthday party five days ahead of the party. I told them I would pick it up at noon. I was running late and didn't get there until 12:20 for a 1:00 party. My cake wasn't even frosted yet. I had to pick an already made cake and was offered a free donut for their tardiness. This is the second time this has happened to me. I am now looking for another bakery. read more

I've always thought this was a German Bakery,,, not could it be Italian, Polish or Greek they have it all. The folks running the counter be Macedonia really nice,,,, really helpful. First visit I be so hooked on a vast selection of many national bake goods including Hungarian Nut Roll. Prices really great a special all day every day be Coffee and a Donut like $1.75 how cool with 4 small table to enjoy. Next visit Spinach Mozzarella Cheese Pie OMG a must try. Always hit the discount rack as you enter great goodies half price. read more

Kolachy! Yum, yum, yum. I came here looking for bumpy cake for my dad as a special treat and wound up walking off with some of the best kolachy I have had in a long time. Wow. The bumpy cake worked too. Dad was very pleased, heck we all were but this was for him specifically. Moist, rich and delish. The perfect foil to a fish, fruit and veg BBQ. Bam - calorie bomb. This only works when the guilt is worth it and oh boy it was! Service was friendly and speedy, I saw plenty that I wanted to try. Prices were bakery reasonable. If you are used to Kroger/Meijer pricing then you will find it spendier but if you are a specialty bakery person you will find it reasonable and cheap for a lot of items. It is all in your perspective. The taste is way better than grocery and equal to that I have found in spendier shops. Overall I was very pleased with the price point to taste ratio. I will be back! I am marking this as my paczki place for this coming Fat Tuesday given the other reviews. Fingers crossed. read more

I love Bartz bakery, but last several times been giving them benefit of the doubt trying different cakes/cupcakes and find they do not rotate old out, my cake is usually always very dry, frosting was hard, filling on inside hard, so they are selling old pastries , very disappointed will only come in to get breads read more

The apple pie had a lemony flavor and the slice of cheesecake was just about as hard as an apple. I will not be returning.

Great baked goods. Why no face masks? I cannot return until you require face masks!! Please, for the health of all.

Everyone in the bakery is always so pleasant. Cakes are delicious and so is the fresh donuts.

I have yet to be disappointed in this gem! The only downside is that it is on my route home. It is impossible for me to avoid the temptation :) Every visit, I have been greeted by staff upon entry and assisted in a prompt manner. They have thorough knowledge of the baked items and are very pleasant to have a chat with if it isn't too busy. Now for the reason we are all here :) OMG, words cannot express how delicious the treats are! They have a wonderful selection too. The cupcakes are delicious moist and fresh. The pastries are phenomenal with a buttery flaky crust that melts in your mouth. The items I tried had a balanced amount of sweetness and were baked to perfection. This bakery is fantastic! I have a serious sweet tooth and usually walk out with 2 or 3 items at a time.S Pricing is beyond reasonable here. The quality and pricing surpass that of a few other bakeries I've visited prior to. I highly recommend this establishment. You will not be disappointed! read more

A hometown favorite and staple in our community. Nothing fancy, but homey and full of deliciousness- not to mention the price cannot be beat! Top recommendation has to be the brownies with frosting on top... perfect ratio of brownie to fudgy frosting, contrast in texture, and decadent flavor. read more

The Sugar Cookies. My favorite. When I lived in Chicago for 8 years I had my mom send them to across state lines. They are so delicious and always always decorated for the season. You can request custom cookies for partys, etc. The bread and other stuff is great too, but oh my god. The sugar Cookies. read more

Very good decorated sugar cookies! Hooray! About 1/2 inch thick shortbread with royal icing, just like on Instagram. They have a nice crunch and the cookie is neat and tidy. Not too sugary, either. And affordable! read more

How I wish this place was closer to my house. For a small joint this has every imaginable sweet there is and some I didn't know existed. I stopped on my way to pick up a rescue cat and grabbed a couple of donuts. The jelly donut was so good I stopped on the way back to get more! I think it was the best jelly donut I ever had and that includes pacskis. My test of a good bakery or donut shop is how well they make a plain donut taste. Those were good too. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Bartz bakery for a number of years. It has always been an excellent place to purchase breads and sweets. My wife and I stopped by last week to order a tray of specific cookies, a yule log decorated for us, and some rolls. We then setup the pickup date and time. When we arrived on the date of pickup, the employee behind the counter searched and searched but could not find our order. She finally found a tray of cookies with our name on it, but the cookies were not the kind we had requested. Not finding the yule log, we were asked to take one from the display case. The ones there were not the filling we had ordered, nor decorated as we had requested. She did find one with the correct filling in the back, but it was without decorations. We took it, and added some decorations to it when we got home. Finally, we were given a bag full of rolls - not the assortment we had ordered, just basic dinner rolls. Needless to say we were not happy with the encounter. Bartz has always been top notch, but this time it fell way short. A mitigating factor was that the order pickup was on Dec 23rd, a very busy day. Rolls were good, cookies acceptable and we haven't tried the yule log yet. I've read other reviews that indicate that Bartz is, or has changed. I don't know yet. After such a long time of outstanding service I won't walk away after one bad experience, but I will be watching to see how things go in the future. As Bartz has been an old reliable business, my hopes are that it was just one order lost in the Christmas shuffle. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I've been coming here over 20 years and I think it's time for a new bakery. I arrived, 2 other customers were inside. As I browsed, I noticed more coming in. Before I walked out There were 23 people in There! Absolutely NO social distancing is being practiced. And if you have preordered a birthday cake for December 3rd, Your cakes are in the cooler already! Also, Beware of "day old rack"! Went in on a Thursday, Went back following Tuesday, same cookies and pie sitting there! read more

I stop by Bartz completely by accident on my way to work. I thought it was middle eastern bakery, but it turned out to be Italian. I was really hungry so I decided to get something from Bartz. I asked the cashier if they use vegetable shortening or animal shortening. Luckily, it's all vegetarian for all products. I tried their pecan croissant along with blueberry pie. Both the items were not too sugary and had a soft texture. Most importantly the bakery was not expensive and everything was freshly made. The bakery offers variety of all baked good items and different flavors. read more
