Benny's soft pretzels never disappoint. Every year, a friend hosts an Oktoberfest at home on the west side of the state. So every year, I call in advance to order 3-4 dozen soft pretzels for pick up. Benny's always has my order ready, are super friendly and the soft pretzels are amazing! They do sell cute decorated sugar cookies (M cookies, fall leaves, etc) as well as doughnuts, fritters, etc. But the soft pretzels are seriously the star here! read more

The custom cakes made at Benny's are amazing. Truly. They are not cheap but if you want something unique and perfect for a special event/person--I recommend their artist/baker unconditionally. read more

Hot soft pretzels on Saturday morning are a must have! Quick service, wonderful baked goods!

Saline's best kept secret. This bakery never disappoints. BUT you have to get there early to snag the best of the best made that day. Always fresh and the prices are surprisingly low for the quality. I'd recommend getting your coffee across the street, though. read more

Great bakery been going there for years, they have the best pretzels great customer service

Bennys is the BEST. Was new to the area, everyone raved about Benny's so I gave them a try for my daughters 1st birthday. They were AMAZING!

Wonderful small town family business. They are always professional and kind. Their pretzels go fast on Saturday mornings.

These little pretzels are pretty tasty. The problem is they are small, and you just keep going and going and going... haha. The staff is very friendly, the parking is to the west of the building (and behind.) Prices are reasonable. Very nice little bakery in Saline. It's small and busy during non-COVID times though, so be prepared to lose out on the pretzels if you don't get there early enough on Saturdays! read more

I have been going on and off to Benny's Bakery, since it was Walker's Bakery in the 1970s. Back then, this was the place where the farmers and townsfolk gathered to talk about local politics over some freshly brewed coffee and some great bagels and doughnuts. Located in downtown Saline, on the south side of US-12, Benny's offers some of the best cakes your money can buy. From a small round layer cake, all the way up to a giant wedding cake, the artistic staff at Benny's can make it for you. They are not satisfied until you are. I have always loved their glazed doughnuts, and blueberry muffins. Thankfully, Benny's loads their muffins with the right amount of blueberries. Unlike other bakeries, where you have to hunt for a single berry in their muffins, this is not the case here at Benny's. With that said, they bake some of the best Christmas cookies on earth. If you find yourself in downtown Saline, and your sweet tooth is driving you crazy, why not head on into Benny's Bakery and indulge yourself in their sugary confections. read more

I heard great things about Benny's doughnuts from my boyfriend, who had the pleasure of trying some at work. He insisted we come here on a Saturday morning to check it out for ourselves. We got in at 10AM and they already sold out of a lot of their doughnuts. We managed to snag some of the classic doughnuts and two pretzels. The doughnuts were good, but the pretzels were great. Also, the doughnuts and pretzels are so reasonably priced! You can be confident in the amount of bang you are getting for your buck here. I can see how Benny's became such a beloved local institution. read more

The best cookies and baked goods. Period. Benny's is open only certain hours so call or check the website. Best to come early for the greatest availability and widest selection. I usually get a dozen or two cookies for my analytical team at work. Enjoy! read more

Not very many reviews but most of them here really hyped me up for the Saturday pretzels. I have to say wow!!! It was truly awesome. They sell them by singles or dozens. When I can at 8 am on saturday they were already busy. As for the pretzel, 5/5 amazing. it was warm soft and absolutely one of the best I've ever had. So good I finished one in the car and went back to buy another. I also tried the apple fritter which was pleasantly not too sweet and very soft on the inside. I was not as big fan of the cream long John but in general their food is really good. Recommend the Saturday pretzel for sure! I only didn't buy a dozen because I knew I would finish it all by myself. read more

Two words: Saturday Pretzels. Get there early or you will miss the fabu treat. Benny's has good other stuff but I am seriously addicted to Saturday hot pretzels. A helpful tip is that you can call them by 2 pm on Friday to order your pretzels for pickup on Saturday, if you do not get there by eleven though you are outta luck. Upside is if you swing by Benny's at eleven-ish you can probably get someone lazy's pretzels. Mean yes, but I love me some pretzels. read more

Benny's bakery is the best bakery around. I travel from Livonia when I can to treat myself. Will never pick another bakery over this one. Keep it up! read more

Donuts are life, and Benny's brings exactly that every morning I stop in. Learned about this place from a coworker at Faurecia and have traveled to and from Saline for years and not once did I ever know this place existed. Word of mouth advertising is all this place needs. read more

The interior makes it seem like a real hole in the wall place, but the goods are amazing! Custom options available too by request! Bought some donuts for some coworkers and everyone wanted to know where they came from. read more

For me, the difference between good and great here is the friendliness of the people serving me. I remember before the pandemic I'd meet a friend there and often felt like the people serving are not too concerned about pleasantries and it put me off a little. Today, though it was a different person behind the counter it was a very similar experience. It kinda gives the impression that you interrupting something else they'd rather be doing. Though I like their products I really think a little extra friendliness and could make the experience better and go a long way and be the difference between this place being good versus great. But I can honestly say I really like their pretzels and cookies. read more

AWESOME! This is the best bakery in the area. They have amazing donuts, pretzels, bread, and customer service. They do your Christmas and Holiday baking (pies, cookies) to make your life early. For your Birthday celebrations get a cake or cupcake order. You need to experience this neighborhood gem. I love this bakery. read more

If you are looking for Christmas cookies, Benny's Bakery has beautiful decorated ones. The sugar cookies are my favorites, decorated like Stars, Santa, Snow Men, ornaments. They are made daily. Wherever I take them people don't want to eat them as they are so cute. Benny's is known for their Pretzels on Saturday, but this week I discovered the Holiday Christmas Cookies.

From the moment you walk in the door at Benny's, you know you're in for a treat. You'll get a whiff of their latest baked goods, and can choose from any of them in the display cases. Of course, you have the staples of donuts and rolls, in all shapes and flavors. They also make cookies - but be prepared and order ahead for your Holiday cookies, which always sell out! Also, whenever you go in, there's a group of locals gathered for a donut and a cup of coffee - always a good sign! If the locals gather every day, you know it must be good! read more

I called Benny's Bakery to order a cake for my son's birthday. I asked if they knew the character Peppa Pig and they said no, so I asked if they could just put a generic pig on the cake. They said yes, but then I got this wonderful cake with a perfectly drawn Peppa on it! Picture attached. My son was thrilled. He kept saying "Beppa! Beppa!" when he saw the cake. We were absolutely delighted. The cake was delicious. We know where we will be getting his birthday cakes from now on! read more

Benny's Bakery - Perfect Peppa! - Bakeries Near Me - Saline, Michigan

Like somebody else mentioned, I've been a fan of Benny's Bakery since it was called Walker's. Back then, workers from the Ford factory hung out there in the wee hours before their shifts. Like somebody else said, the pretzels on Saturday are amazing. Each weekend, they sell 400-500 dozen. 400-500 DOZEN!!! And even more on Michigan Football Saturdays. That's for a small family business. OK, full disclosure: my sister and brother-in-law bought this bakery from Benny Galimberti himself around 2005. I have nothing to do with the bakery, though, except that I occasionally go to bag pretzels on Saturday mornings when I'm visiting (I live in CT now). Seriously, the donuts, pretzels, breads, cookies, and cakes are fantastic. Steve Babiak (the current Baker Extraordinaire) makes cookies frosted with either UM or MSU logos during that game week, and he does the same with OSU cookies during that week (he's still a Buckeye at heart, which is a source of some family ribbing, depending on who's got the better football team). Just like back in the 70's, the locals add a lot to Benny's. On any given Saturday morning, I can walk in and say hello to my high school friends or their parents. My father is one of the men who hangs in the middle of the bakery with other retired folk talking about the old days (cue Springsteen's "Glory Days"). If you're from out of town, it's just as welcoming, so you definitely should go. One caution, go to the bathroom before you enter--the bathroom is in the haunted (seriously) basement, and it's, um, well, just go before you get there. So, get my point? Go, get some pretzels, eat them all on Saturday, digest on Sunday, anticipate on Monday (they're closed), and get the donuts on Tuesday (through Friday)! read more

Best German pretzel you'll get outside of Germany. (Yes, I've tried them in Germany, and am glad to have a replica in my back yard! However, I have had to start triathlon training just so I can keep eating these pretzels. ;-) read more

Bennys is the classic example of hometown cookin. Being new to the area I kept hearing about it. The donuts. The pretzels. It certainly is a saline establishment. The problem is that I really don't like it. Donut shops often have a characteristic taste that is the product is their frying oil. Places like dunkin donuts don't do this because their oil has little "character." The other way of looking at it is that they replace their oil. Some local places, though, get a signature taste that goes into everything that is put in the oil. So then what happens when your oil tastes just completely nasty and leaves you with a terrible aftertaste for hours? When you go home to brush your teeth to get the flavor out? You get Bennys I am a huge donut fan. I will not eat Bennys anymore. They are very fresh and the flavors are good. But the oil is so nasty I cannot do it anymore. By the way even the pretzels have a hint of the signature flavor. That being said, the locals really really are proud of bennys. And the pretzels are huge favorites. But I'll go elsewhere, thank you very much. read more

I've been a very happy customer for over 5 years now. From their pretzels to their cookies, cake to their paczki, all items are fresh and tasty! They made my wedding cake in 2011 and we were very impressed with it. I always enjoy supporting a small family business. Next time you're downtown saline check them out! read more

This tiny bakery opens at 5:30 in the morning, which is why it was bare when I stopped by at noon. The only thing left to try were some donuts and some cookies! No bread, or pies or cakes! I did try the chocolate chip cookies, which were excellent. Will have to go back (very early!) to try more! read more

Addicted to their chocolate frosted donuts. Seriously amazing. So sad that I moved to Brighton, maybe one day they will franchise :) One can dream right? read more

Benny's is the real thing. I can even recommend their Lenten Ponczki, for Fat Tuesday, next week. Rock on! read more

I moved to California in 1985, from Saline, Michigan....My brother is Charles Martin...he worked there and I helped for years.....I come home every year and can't wait to get a Benny's pretzel! Let's open a Benny's here in California......you would love the weather! Send me some pretzels! read more

A co worker brought in the pretzels from Benny's bakery one Saturday and I knew I was in love. Can't wait to try the other goodies here.

I am not a frequent customer of Benny's so I just may be out of touch on prices for a private owned bakery. I purchased 6 pretzels and 2 apple fritters this morning ....$13 ..... it seems that every time I do go to Benny's the prices increase exponentially. The pretzels are above average but not great. The apple fritters were below average. I would like to support local businesses but the value is just not there anymore. I am going back to Tim Hortons. read more

Excellent pastries/doughnuts. Unfortunately, my credit card information was stolen and used in Illinois the same day it was swiped at Benny's. The same card reader they use at Benny's was used in Illinois to make over $500 in purchases. I had to make a police report. So, if you want great doughnuts/pastries, go to Benny's. DO NOT USE YOUR CREDIT CARD unless you want the hassle of fraudulent charges. read more

I ordered cookies for a baby shower as favors for guests.. They were an absolute hit! They were beautiful - such amazing care and detail. And I should say that they were absolutely delicious. Guests kept asking where they came from. I am 100% satisfied with the communications with bakery, the quality of the cookies and attention to detail. THANK YOU! read more

Don't let the semi-broken screen door or beat-up interior fool you: these are the best doughnuts in Saline, and I think the best I've ever eaten. Amazing stuff here, folks - no joke, no sugarcoating (pun intended). Pretzels are good, but only available on Sat mornings. As a regular, I have only two complaints: not enough seating (EXPAND!), and bake more stuff so you don't run out by 10 AM! read more

Benny's bakery is fabulous!! The pretzels are incredible, the donuts are great, the buffalos are great. Okay, I've never had anything I didn't like at Benny's! Highly recommend them. read more

I ordered a baby shower cake and cookies from Benny's and couldn't be more pleased. I brought in a picture that I wanted copied for the cake and it was done beautifully and tasted yummy. Also, I brought in a picture with different baby faces to go on the cookies and they also were adorable and delicious. I will definitely be coming back...I only wish I had known about this place sooner! read more

Awesome small town bakery with delicious, fresh pastries, breads, and donuts. Pretzels are a specialty on Saturdays. Get there early because they sell out quickly! The line goes out the door on a Saturday morning in the fall especially. There is always a friend or neighbor in line to talk to because the whole town shows up there on Saturdays. The staff is friendly and helpful. The new owners have carried on the same traditions and have added some new things to make the place and the selection even better. Their Christmas cookies are delicious--cinnamon stars are to die for--and beautifully done. Their breads are a bargain. You won't find this stuff in grocery stores or big chain bakeries. This is the real deal. read more

We love this place. The pretzels on Saturday are amazing. The donuts are always delicious. The sugar cookies are adorable. Get there early, because stuff sells out fast! Lines can very long in the fall, especially on home game days for UofM football. Every morning my preschooler asks "Is it Saturday yet?!" because he's so excited to go there. And really, I'm just as excited as he is. Be aware it's cash or check only! read more
