My partner and I stopped in here during our vacation, and LOVED it! The quality of the coffee as well as the pastries. And of course - gluten free options which were delicious AND seasonal (gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip during the fall)!!! The line was incredibly long to get in - but worth it. And speaks to how good this place is - maybe they should expand, lol! The ambiance inside and service was also great. If we are ever back in the area for vacation again, will 100% be coming in each day. read more

So good I went twice on my 2.5 day trip to New Buffalo. I got a donut, quiche, and cold brew the first day and just a donut the second day. Everything was delicious. Go early to get a better selection, as pickings were slim the first day (a Thursday) when I got there around 11:30am. Also expect to wait in a line - Friday morning around 9am I waited for 25ish minutes. Staff is friendly and efficient. There are a few tables inside but I ate my stuff outside. Will be returning the next time I'm in the area! read more

We absolutely love this little bakery here. It gets slammed in the summertime with a line out the door, but for good reason. They have a big selection of donuts, muffins, cookies/brownies, quiches, cakes, and more (including a gf / vegan pastry option). They also have some delicious sandwiches that they serve after 11am, and their coffee options are great too. We love to come back here! read more

Our cake was stunning! The cake and cupcakes were delivered flawlessly. Thank you for making our special day truly unforgettable! read more

Black Currant Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Union Pier, Michigan

I stayed in New Buffalo for the weekend and ventured out to find breakfast in town each morning. I am so happy I found Black Currant Bakehouse! Their bakery offerings were delicious and I visited all three mornings that I was in the area. Their menu was large and had variety, so I believed I tried something new each morning. I loved their fall menu and their donuts! The flavors were very unique and delicious! I live in Chicago and brought an Apple Butter Danish back for a friend that was visiting. The service was great and I told the owner how much I enjoyed his bakery. It was also decorated for Halloween when I was visiting, so I loved how festive it was. Next time I am in the area, I hope to return! read more

I love the donuts here so much, better than any other place in the area. The texture is so amazing, soft and pillowy. Like the chewy texture of mochi donuts, if you are into that. The little brownies are fudgy, very good. I liked the wedding cake latte. As someone who loves sugar, the apricot filling in the jelly donut was veryyy sweet. The cherry almond muffin was a bit bland. Blueberry thumbprint was just ok. Service is friendly. read more

HEY VEGETARIANS! LOOK NO FURTHER FOR A FANTASTIC SANDWICH! Black Currant Bakehouse is *the* place in Southwest Michigan. I was so satisfied with my East-West Reuben and appreciated the Asian twists. Also, don't walk away without grabbing a slice of coffee cake. It's the real deal. read more

Very nice establishment. The variety of baked goods was top tier. I got the vegan blueberry muffin and my husband got the cinnamon roll. I didn't know they served lunch. We were planning on going back for lunch but unfortunately that didn't happen. Long line but worth it. read more

Great local spot with good coffee (we bought some beans for home too!) and nice pastries. Very local and quaint shop with some seating. Looks like it's popular for locals and those visiting the area as well. I'd definitely recommend stopping here if you're driving by as it's in a less touristy area near New Buffalo. I would for sure stop here again if we're in the area! read more

My daughter and I came here because we wanted to go to the deli next-door. When we saw the line out the door for the bakery, we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we did! Oh my goodness! This place has the most delectable cakes, and their drinks are so whimsical and perfectly balanced. We both decided that this was a place that we had to come back to! read more

Black Currant Bakehouse - Today's special drinks - Bakeries Near Me - Union Pier, Michigan

I wish there were a place this good anywhere near me in Chicago. The East-West Reuben is perfection. The donuts are fresh. I ate more than I needed to because the food was so good. (FWIW my personal preference is for most sweet baked goods to have half the sugar they usually do, so I found it all overly sweet, but it was still excellent and probably a normal level of sugar for around here.) We went on Sunday in November at 1:30. Almost no one there and not a huge selection of baked goods, but it was a great experience. read more

Love this place, but asked simple question. Dude with the plugs and slick hair, maybe the owner is super rude. Everyone else is so sweet. read more

The quality of the pastries and coffee are top notch. We wandered in, on our way to another business. The room was bright and refreshing. Big windows allowed a ton of natural sunlight in, warming the room perfectly. The choices of pastries were endless. Unique flavor combinations and classics were all very tasty. The young lady behind the counter assisting us was very sweet. She had a big smile and a positive attitude. I'm sure she is used to people oooh-ing and ahh-ing all over the pretty pastry case. The coffee creations took a while. I guess it takes time to prepare perfection. Our beverages were rich and smooth. Delicious! Overall, everything was wonderful, and I will definitely return on my next visit to New Buffalo. read more

Amazing food and service. Especially loved the lattes, speciality baked goods, and the donuts. We can't wait to go back.

So many delicious things here! The line was way out the door but moved at a good pace. Vanilla black currant cupcake - so good, light tasting Cinnamon roll - perfect amount of icing. I got the smaller size version. Donuts - light and fluffy Tons of vegan options! Latte - I needed to ask for extra syrup because it was too strong for me. read more

Hubby and I were passing through on a road trip. We stopped at Black Currant Bakehouse for donuts but they were out by the time we arrived. We decided to try the Lemon Cornmeal Cookie and the Sprinkle Sugar Cookie. They were both AMAZING!! Some of the BEST bakery cookies we've ever had. Good taste and texture! Black Currant Bakehouse is cute with friendly staff. The prices are affordable, and they have a pretty large bakery menu, as well as sandwiches. We highly recommend this bakehouse and if we're ever in the area again we will definitely be stopping in again. read more

Black Currant Bakehouse - Apple fritter, chocolate chip cookie and an ice americano - Bakeries Near Me - Union Pier, Michigan

These donuts are phenomenal and so is the coffee. I'm originally from Chicago and came here on vacation. Highly recommend

The best Jerry, the best! Cinnamon roll perfection. Libras like all things in balance, and Black Currant nails the proportions of dough, cinnamon sugar and icing. And to the genius that decided we needed a larger sized cinnamon roll-take a bow. Never knew I needed it, but I'll start with two of those. Throw in an apple fritter and a few donuts and we're on our way for a delightful walk through Union Pier to our rental with treats for the mornings. This outstanding Bakehouse is part of every visit here. read more

Second time here and it gets better and better! Black Currant Bake House is a quaint little coffe, tea and pasty shop, with some tasty goodies. My go to is the Chai Tea, which they seem to make perfectly! In addition the I love their cinnamon rolls and I decided to pick up 2 vanilla sprinkle donuts! On their menu you're able to get scones, muffins, bagels, sandwiches and much more! The best part of coming here imo is the staff are truly great. They're laughing, smiling and will start a conversation with you. They truly seem happy to be working here and it shows. You'll be lucky if you get half a smile at Starbucks. They're tons of items I'd like to try on my next go round the next time I'm in the area as I hope this place keeps doing what they're doing! read more

Black Currant Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Union Pier, Michigan

I am giving five stars for the mojito donut alone--that thang is my kinda donut! It's reminiscent of the ONLY donut I liked as a child, the key lime pie donut from Krispy Kreme. I also enjoyed my iced Kona latte (I think that's what it was called?)... anywho, there was always a slow moving line out the door but I guess that should tell you something (that the ppl want their Black Currant!) and I'd say yes, it was worth the wait if you have the time. I would go back. Xoxo, Is this thing on? read more

5/5 stars! When we got here there was a small line outside the building. It moved very quickly and when we entered the bakery we were greeted by the friendly staff! The donuts were out of this world. The cinnamon roll was probably the best one I have ever had. We can't wait to go back! read more

Black Currant Bakehouse - Bavarian cream, cinnamon roll, vanilla glazed, chocolate frosted with sprinkles. - Bakeries Near Me - Union Pier, Michigan

Wow! This place is soooo good! We stopped in here while on vacation and there was a line outside the door before it opened. Once the shop opened, the line moved fast. The employees were kind and efficient. The shop itself was really cute and had a modern, artsy coffeehouse vibe. I don't know how often it happens but there was also a mini farmers market happening with fresh, delicious looking produce and more. Now on to the food...wow! We got a good variety of pastries. My favorite was their coffee cake, yum! We also loved the chocolate, vanilla, and caramel coldbrew donuts. And the cinnamon rolls were incredible! For a drink, I tried the black currant iced tea and it was delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town! read more

Fantastic coffee. Rich in flavor and good coffee taste. Their pastries were great, though the scone was a little dry. For how busy they were, the service was quick. read more

This bakery is seriously amazing!! Everything over here is just fantastic, so much so that we went back the next day! The banana chocolate chip muffin is just the right amount of sweet and fluffy, and studded with tons of chocolate chips. The death by chocolate cookie is one of the most decadent cookies you'll ever have if you're a chocolate lover. The fudge brownie and turtle brownie and fudgy and soft and chewy and delicious at the same time. The donut (chocolate cream filled) was an absolute delight. But let's not forget the savory pastries! The quiches are definitely one of the best quiches I (and my quiche disliking husband) have ever had. Fluffy eggs mixed with veggies housed in a delicious puff pastry. Seriously the best. The pasties are so delicious too! The veggies were perfectly seasoned and the puff pastry was buttery deliciousness. A definite winner and gem in Union pier! A must visit if you're in the area or even driving by!! read more

I normally seek out local coffee shops when I travel and this place is a gold mine. The coffee was rich and brewed to perfection. They had all the extras including oat milk and many latte flavors to choose from. I went both mornings I was there. I got the coffee cake and a strawberry/rhubarb danish. All delicious. Get there early. A line does form. But so worth it. read more

Great little bake house. Can't wait to go back! Huge pastries. Close walk to the beach.

If you are vegetarian, get thyself to Black Current Bakehouse. Heck, if you like sandwiches, get there. No, just go if you like food. I could smack myself the jesses Rueben is so good. Cannot wait to try the TLT(BLT). Yummy pastry. Super friendly staff. It's all good! read more

If you love doughnuts and/or are vegan/vegetarian, you will love Black Currant! (Sound contradictory, but read on) So, I was lucky enough to be vacationing within a 9 minute walk of this place. It's in a micro downtown-ish area right off Red Arrow Highway, which can be seen as sort of the main drag of west Michigan shoreline. A local told us to go early to avoid the lines, as in, within the first hour of opening, or expect to stand outside. Well, we arrived a minute or two before the doors opened, and there was a line..already. We were about 3rd or 4th in line of the 6-8 people gathered early...makes you nervous, but it was worth it! Now, given Lea's (the local shop girl) advice, I studied their website the night before, so I'd be prepared and not hold up the line. Well, my well-intentioned plans we a bit of a bust, as I planned on ordering a filled doughnut to try, and upon ordering, they were not out of the oven yet. :( However, the black current glazed doughnut was simply divine. Well balanced flavors, light and fluffy. Truly carbs worth eating! I might include that in the last meal it was so good, and I don't consider myself a doughnut person! My spouse was happy with his choice of cinnamon, and he can be particular. :) Far exceeds any fast food or mainstream place! Wish I could walk there again tomorrow! Also tried a cupcake, it was decent, but I've had better. The doughnuts are where it's at! Also had a selection of coffee cakes, cookies, and the like. In my research, I thought maybe we could grab a breakfast sandwich here as well...but beware they are all vegetarian and vegan choices! So if you are a carnivore like my spouse, again, stick to the doughnuts perhaps! Even around the midpoint of morning, there was a healthy line so long, someone was taking the orders outside. Black Currant Bakehouse is well worth the drive or wait, no matter how long! read more

So good! The bakery items were delicious! We got sweet and savory items and they were so good and fresh. The coffee was also great and the cappuccino! Great service and a cute little shop. Highly recommend even if you're just passing through! read more

I'm from the Chicagoland area where we have a ton of great bakeries but this bakery is the best one I've ever been to (and I used to work at one!) Our AirBnB was right next to this bakery and I went every single day on my long weekend trip and tried different things everyday. The mushroom quiche was amazing, donuts ate so fluffy and rich, and the crumble bars are outstanding. My favorite thing I had from this bakery was the cream cheese and fruit danish. The coffees are also very tasty and well made. I will find myself back in New Buffalo just for this bakery alone. So good! Staff is very kind and friendly too read more

If you want a quick pastry and ready made biscuit breakfast sandwich this is the place! We stopped here twice on our fall break and enjoyed it each time. Plenty of donut options, muffins and bagels too! We took ours to go and walked down to the public beach access to enjoy. Will definitely be back! read more

Great coffee. Great matcha Sandwiches and scones were the best. Staff were friendly. read more

Went for a doughnut and coffee, it was the best doughnut I've ever had. Went back for lunch. The sandwiches were incredible.

We came here for breakfast. The doughnuts were so good that we came back for lunch. Everything was amazing.

Amazing Apple Fritter, Tiramisu, and Cinnamon Roll. You'll love everything about this place.
