The classic French pastries are stellar! The service is friendly. We had the Plateau Chocolat and the Fondant au Chocolat. Worth the trip!

2-15-2026 We dined in and chose savory sandwiches, all of them excellent. It was a Sunday morning and quite crowded and when one of us, in a party of four, did not receive their order, the staff, who seemed quite harassed, did their best to expedite it. read more

I love Cannelle so much and I wish I loved closer but it's probably good that I don't. I've visited the downtown Detroit and Ann Arbor locations and they're both wonderful. We visited the Ann Arbor location last Saturday for after-dinner dessert and to buy breakfast treats for the next day. The service was friendly, helpful, and quick. I love that the Ann Arbor location has turned their street parking into the most precious cafe seating. We loved being able to enjoy our delicious desserts and the beautiful fall weather. My mom, sister, and I shared the Pistachio Raspberry Tart, Lemon Tart, and Plateau Chocolat, and we enjoyed them all. The two tarts were our favorites! The Plateau Chocolat is very rich. We ordered the Sesame Feta croissant, Ham and Asiago croissant, and Berry Delicious for the next morning and they bagged them for us. We were so bummed the next morning when we opened the bag and the Ham and Asiago croissant was missing because we wanted to try it. We still loved the other croissants and we'll be back the next time we're in Michigan! read more

Cannelle - Dessert case - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

If you are looking for amazing pastries, croissants, unique desserts and great coffee, look no further. A small cafe and bakery with inside seating and (outside in the summer) downtown Ann Arbor. The biggest challenge you will have as you look over their artful display of goods, is deciding what to order. On this visit my wife ordered the Egg and Cheese Croissant. I had the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant. Their Croissants are very nice size, flaky, buttery with so much flavor, they are the perfect compliment to the fluffy eggs and cheese. I also added one of their Ribbon Cinnamon Pastries. The Cinnamon was textural and unlike any cinnamon pastry we have ever had before. Definitely is now one of our favorites. Great coffee too. You order at the counter when you go in, and their staff brings your order to you at your table. Servers are friendly and available if you need anything additional. Absolutely recommend checking them out. We have also been in their Detroit location on Grand River. So happy they chose Ann Arbor! read more

How have I never known this place existed?! We stopped in for a breakfast sandwich before seeing a movie. I wanted to order 1 of each croissant! It was busy so I didn't have time to view them all but will definitely return soon for an almond croissant! It's a small place with seating available up front for more of a coffee shop setting and then in the back is more table seating which is where we sat. The bacon, egg, cheese sandwich was amazing! I ordered mine without lettuce and tomato. The egg is super fluffy and bacon was crispy which is the way I like it. It was delicious and whatever the MT sauce was, it just elevated it to a gourmet sandwich for me. I ordered hot tea with cream and I love that they froth it for me and serve it in a teapot. The restrooms are gender neutral and very clean and spacious. Service was friendly and prompt and they bring your order to the table. We can't wait to return on our next trip to Ann Arbor! read more

There is a lot to love about Cannelle, but there are a few things that just do not quite measure up to their obviously high standards of quality. It's clear that a lot of thought, care, love, and passion has gone into this shop. The ambiance is elegant without being stuffy. And who would not love a beautiful place to sit, enjoy a gorgeous pastry, and just take a moment or twelve for a bit of much needed self care? The layout of the place is a bit tricky, because if you walk in the door and approach the counter to place an order, you will have missed out on peeping the glorious pastry case around the right side of the counter. Pro tip: Check out the pastries first. Take your time. Eat with your eyes. Not everything is quite as amazing as it looks, but trust your gut and your keen sense of observation. For me, the one consistent disappointment in the pastry department has been their macaron. Your milage my vary. I am quite particular when it comes to these delicate treats. I'm also rather particular about my cappuccino. While Canelle has the tools in place to make a good one, the one I was served was tragic. If I were feeling snarky, I might say something like, "The 80s called and wanted their cappuccino back." Those big fat bubbles on the textured milk that crowned the cup I was served harkened back to an earlier era when these coffee drinks were still new and novel. I should have known something was up when I ordered a small cappuccino and was told it would be twelve ounces. Mon dieu! It was tragic. Or, as Alanis Morissette once said, it was "like a black fly in your chardonnay." Reading through other reviews, it seems like the tea service might be the winning option. I'll give it a try the next time I'm in. Although hopefully someone might pick up the slack and get the coffee program in line with the otherwise delightfully high standards of this downtown gem. By the way, the staff are great. There was a much more serious mistake with something else that was ordered at my table, and the offending dish was quickly whisked away and replaced quickly and with a smile. Bravo! read more

Cannelle - Raspberry chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

The shop had a lovely and wide selection of pastries, including tarts, cakes, and savory bread. Of course I had to try almost everything and had thoughts! The tart with pistachio cream and raspberry was by far my favorite. It was recommended by the worker who was packaging the pastries and I'm so glad I tried it. If you like pistachio flavor, this smooth and sweet cream is a dreamy one. The addition of raspberries gave it a slight tartness and the crust was slightly crumbly. The mixed fruit tart was also very refreshing after a heavy meal! I liked how it included fruits you don't normally find on tarts such as dragonfruit, mango, and grapes. It gave it a tropical feel and was not overly sweet! My next favorite was the chocolate croquant. It looks like a layered chocolate cake but it has a crunchy layer to it that was so unexpected and wonderful! Highly recommend for the chocolate lovers out there. The raspberry tart and other pasties were good but not anything unexpected. Overall, I don't think you could go wrong with any of these freshly baked treats! There's plenty of seating indoors and very cute tables outdoors as well. Would be a great place to stop by while exploring East Washington Street! read more

Over the last 2+ years, I've ordered several large sheet cakes from Cannelle for events. This review is about these experiences, which have been very positive. I recommend Cannelle for special event cake orders in Ann Arbor. The ordering and pick-up processes has always always gone seamlessly, and the staff has always been very helpful. I've always ordered over the phone, and they only require a few days' advance notice. Although the cakes are pricey (as of my most recent order, a full sheet cake was $213.20), they're actually cheaper than Zingerman's Bakehouse---I found this surprising. The cakes are always beautifully decorated. Some of the cake flavors I recommend are (in descending order): -Fraisier - vanilla cake, strawberries, and cream. -Chocolate Raspberry - chocolate mousse, raspberry cream, raspberry coulis, and chocolate cake. -Chocolate Croquant - it's very rich and dense, like a Ferrero Rocher. It has both chocolate mousse and a crunchy chocolate nut layer. -Raspberry Pistachio Macaron - two layers of macaron shell, with pistachio cream mousseline and raspberries in the middle. -Seasonal tarts - the flavors rotate and are always fun to try. I think the chef changes the cake recipes periodically. E.g., a few months ago the chocolate raspberry was very sweet, but in my most recent order it was more balanced; a previous version of the tiramisu was less chocolatey than the current version. Other cakes I've tried are the Chocolate Strawberry Cake (the chocolate raspberry is better), Mille-Feuille (mostly custard with 2 layers of puff pastry), Lemon Raspberry Cake (texture wasn't my favorite), and Tiramisu (very rich, very heavy on the cocoa and chocolate). The cakes are definitely on the richer and sweeter side; for lighter cake options, I would recommend Yoon's Bakery instead. I don't recommend their viennoiseries; I would stick to the cakes instead. I haven't tried many of their individual pastries, but these come in a wider selection and many of them appear to rotate seasonally. Although the quality doesn't compare to that of bakeries in larger cities, they're a good option for Ann Arbor. read more

After my initial review about this place I got a "compliment" from a yelper with a note that EDUCATED me on what Latte is Thanks so much BUT Wikipedia says [Latte[a] (/lte, læte/)[1][2] or caffè latte (Italian: [kaff llatte]),[3][4] also known as caffè e latte, caffellatte, or caffelatte, is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso and steamed milk, traditionally served in a glass. In America I have never walked into a cafe expecting a menu that says "Latte" and they only expect them to give you MILK. It's not Italy nor italian cafe. It's French btw. ALSO lets say if pistachio syrup + Milk is Latte. Those two ingredients for $7+ i don't know if that's okay too? Anyways THIS is my review so stop sending me passive aggressive messages trying to educate me in italian :) I love Cannelle but i stand by my review for this location, two stars for what i enjoyed, and lost three stars on customer service price and taste of their coffee in THIS particular location. My initial encounter with their good espresso was in a different location in Detroit. read more

Cannelle - Pastry bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Have stopped in for a quick bite and sweet treat. Never disappointed. Could stand to be a tad cheaper. But it is what it is.

Excellent pastries! They have so many different types of sweet and savory croissants, as well as a whole variety of sweet cakes and treats. My favorites are their chocolate pistachio croissant and their ham and cheese croissant. This location also has really good (and big) looking breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Fun coffee options and flavored coffee drinks, but I mostly prefer to get tea when I'm here to pair with and cut down the sweetness of the pastries. Different kinds of seating options inside, for different vibes. Tables, booths, and more loungey chairs. Friendly service! Drinks and food are served to your table after you order at the counter. read more

I love the unique combinations and offerings, I was so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is pretty cute, you can go and sit down if there's seating, though it was quite busy. They went out of their way to make sure we found a place to sit which was nice! Food was delivered to the table and we got recommendations from the lady we checked out with, so it was a great experience overall. Check it out! read more

This is the third Cannelle location I have visited. Each location has a different feel, and this Ann Arbor location is no different. I had to try the cinnamon roll, and it was excellent, nice and cinamony rolled in Cannelle's flaky layers. Very yummy. The coffee was served in a mug. It is pretty dark (as expected at a French cafe). The service was friendly. They offered a coffee mug, and to warm the roll (yes, please). A high open ceiling with darker wood and white tile floor. Lots of natural light.There are various seating for a bit of work, meeting someone, having a bite to eat, or a reading a book. It is easy to miss the location on Washington street with the small sign. read more

I have found, having been to 3 other Cannelle locations, including one in the Great Commoner, that the food experience depends on what is ordered. I am just not a fan of the Viennoiseries here and today was no different. While the shop offered an impressive variety of both savory (butter, spinach/leek, feta/tomato, za'atar) and sweet (almond, chocolate) baked goods, I have not found one that works for me. Today, I had the large sugar-coated croissant (kouign amann?) but it was not as flaky as I would have liked. I don't think I've had many good croissants from any of the other Cannelle locations either. The pastries are so much better - and I should know since I've tried many of the creations from the Cannelle shop (in downtown Detroit). Today, I had to have the peach tart, before peach season comes to a close. I liked the sable crust filled with peaches and pastry cream and topped with cream and fresh peach slices. I was a bit disappointed that the pastry had broken apart, although it had not gotten soggy yet. Service was fine. The location was very busy for a Sunday during the summer. The weather was not great but the place was standing-room only inside and out. read more

Outstanding as usual. Exceptional pastries and lovely staff. Don't be put off by the construction. They are still open for business. Checkout their holiday specials or their small options for breakfast and lunch. Salads, sandwiches and coffee. I had a sample of the almond croissant while waiting in line. I will be back for more. Today was a double espresso shot with an olive and goat cheese croissant. Perfectly savory without being too salty. The espresso was rich but nicely cut the fat on the palate from the croissant. Very popular for a Tuesday late morning. read more

OK- this place is beyond infuritaing. The pastries are epic, and I buy them weekly. BUT I am sitting here with a black cup of coffee having a conversation for the 10th time about being charged 1.25 for cream. For CREAM. In my coffee. I just paid 10.00 for 1 pastry and she's arguing with me about cream. And - oh the signs all over the place. The booth - SIGN. Reserved for large parties only. OK so I'll sit at a small table. Nope. You can only sit there for an hour. That's what the sign says! And nasty eyeballs from the staff when I was sitting in a nearly empty space. I'm not coming here anymore without 7-11 creamers for god's sake - If I come back at all. Come here if you want to pick up a pastry to go, only like black coffee, don't want to sit for long and oh- maybe they'll charge for the bathroom toilet paper soon. This place is just plain rude. It's a shame. read more

This is my first time coming to this bakery/cafe. There was plenty of seating with many available outlets making it an excellent place to work. The coffee was delicious. I ordered a latte with oat milk so there are non-milk options which also includes almond milk. It was fairly quiet, so it was good for having a conversationconversations with a friend. Service was quick, and they delivered my coffee and fruit tart to the table. There was a parking garage across the street with plenty of spaces. It was still easy to get to the café despite the ongoing construction. I will definitely visit again with my laptop. read more

This cafe is the only place I've found that comes close to being in the heart of Italy or the cafes of Paris. I will literally book a flight to Europe just to get my croissant fix, so having a place closer to home... my husband thanks you. LOL! Seriously some good pastries and coffee. I've had the pistachio latte and a cappuccino and both very tasty. My son had the Nutella stuffed croissant and said it was the best thing ever. He even went back inside to thank the staff and tell them how good it was. The next week he asked to come back to show daddy and brother. The aesthetic inside is to die for. Great for studying, reading, catching up with friends. I always choose outside on a nice day, but inside is gorgeous. Note: prices are steep... but I promise it's for a good reason. My son said he would have paid $12 for his croissant from his own piggy! My new go to! read more

I always come back to Cannelle, I have to say they have hands down the best dessert cake in Ann arbor. I've tried alot of their cakes and pastries but my all time favourite is the pistachio tart, pistachio macaron and the strawberry shortcake wrapped in strawberry chocolate and chocolate chip cookie The presentation is absolutely gorgeous, the interior seating in the front of the house is very aesthetic and pleasing. They recently had outdoor seating options for summer, so can't wait to have iced lattes and pastries and cakes. The customer service is also top notch, very pleasant host and front of house and offer to bring your coffee and desserts to your seat. read more

Delightful patisserie in the heart of Ann Arbor. Strong coffee and a wide selection of pastries and breakfast/brunch food make this perfect for a little get-together with friends or a solo date. You order your food and drinks and then they bring the drinks or food that needs to prepared out to you. The couple times I have been there it seems like you are supposed to leave your dishes on the table and then they will come get them. Otherwise, if there is an open table that hasn't been cleaned I put them on the counter by the water so I can take that table. read more

I love the Detroit location and we'll go out of my way to make a stop there, truly world class pastry. Quality control at the Ann Arbor store need some serious attention unfortunately. Two different kinds of croissant, nearly raw they were so undercooked and not flaky at all. Something was clearly wrong with the bake because they were really flat as well. Not sure why they put these out to Cell, and they certainly were a full price. $15 for two flat, nearly wet and undercooked, pastries, what a shame. I won't be back. read more

The cafe itself is incredibly cute and a total vibe to hang out in! Unfortunately I just had a take out order from the pastry case so I didn't stay long. The pastries themselves are gorgeous and so cute, and ring up at around $8 a piece. I ordered 3 and really enjoyed 2 out of the 3 pastries I got, which was the fraisier, and the lemon raspberry cake.
