Croissant with Basil, Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Mozarella
Mark P.

Cannelle by Matt Knio is one of those places that always feels alive. It is always bustling, and the pastry display reminds me of the FAO Schwarz scene in Home Alone, with rows of perfectly lit treats that make you want to point at everything. Service is consistently friendly and fast, which makes it an easy lunch stop. The savory croissant with dried basil tomato, basil, and mozzarella is a perfect mid-day snack. The sweetness of the tomato, light airiness (almost like a quiche?) and saltiness of the cheese, and buttery croissant base all play really well together. The boozy tiramisu is another winner. It is lightly sweet, with a nice crunch from the chocolate, soft but not soggy ladyfinger layers, and a layer of cocoa that gives each bite a deep chocolate note. This has easily become one of our favorite spots for lunch.

Wow, just stumbled across this place and it's seems very popular. But $7.50 for a fancy croissant, it's a little ridiculous. They had a breakfast menu too. Lots of choices and a coffee bar. Question, how long have a lot of those pastries been sat there for?

Raspberry chocolate and bourbon cacao which
Aditi Y.

Happened to pass this place today while looking for parking for the tigers game in Detroit. Thought about checking it out and wasn't disappointed at all. They seem to be a cafe sort of a place with variety of coffee selections and pastries to go with it. Also has a bunch of to go breakfast items too. Every single pastry looked inviting. I eventually ended up ordering the lemon raspberry, chocolate raspberry and a bourbon cacao which has alcohol infused. The pastries are on the pricy side for sure but taste great. Staff was very helpful and also patient, they may have tough customers taking forever to decide what they want, fortunately we weren't holding up a line but as soon as we sat down to indulge, within 5 min they had a huge waiting queue circling the tables. I did like the vibe of the place too, very chic. Will definitely come back again when in the area.

such a beautiful bakery! i've been meaning to try cannelle for such a long time, i finally got to it! service was quick and pleasant! atmosphere was lively and fun!! i'm glad i got to try the pistachio croissant it was absolutely amazing:)

Raspberry and almond croissant
Ben W.

I loved this little spot right on the corner of grand driver ave. I sat right by the window and enjoyed a raspberry and almond pastry while admiring downtown Detroit. The service was alright although they were super busy. The raspberry and almond combo was stellar the crunch of the almond and sweetness of the raspberry were incredibly satisfying! I'll definitely have to come back and try more!!

Cute little place to have a snack and hang out. Some very pretty pastries and decently priced too. I've found that the fancier the pastry the less good it tastes/ the more artificial they are but this place does a good job with still making the fancy ones taste yummy

This is such a lovely place. I wish I had more photos.

I stopped in on a whim and I'm so glad I did. This is located near Gd River and Woodward. It's an east location with a welcoming atmosphere. The service was top notch from start to finish. If you pay in cash they offer a slight discount. I was able to make my selections without feeling rushed or hurried in anyway. This French Bakery is nothing short of amazing. I tried my glazed croissant - it was light, fluffy, and delicious.

Variety of croissants

My friend and I were visiting Detroit for a few days and stumbled upon Cannelle. We had a tough time deciding what to try but landed on the chocolate pistachio croissant and cardamom bun. Both were delicious as well as the coffee and hot chocolate. We decided right away that we had to go back the next day and we did (and brought some friends). The Americano on the second day was wayyyy too hot to enjoy with my pistachio roll. If I lived in Detroit, I'd be here every day. The service was quick and friendly with some cut of piece of bread for sampling on the counter. Space is on the smaller side but they have more seating in a room fit for a board meeting!

I honestly wished I could take this entire shop back to Milwaukee with me! The display of baked goods and cakes is stunning--so many options, all beautifully presented. While many were a bit too sweet for my taste, I really appreciated the variety. Out of the 6-7 items I tried, the standout was the Coffee Crisp--unique, flavorful, and something I'd highly recommend. I also enjoyed the blackberry cake tart, which was another highlight. For something less sweet, the feta cheese pastry with a white sesame crust is a great choice--especially if you like savory pastries. The almond croissant, on the other hand, was softer than I expected (almost sticky, wet, and chewy inside), so I wasn't entirely sure about it.

cherry almond pastry - delicious!
Lynn H.

Cannelle Matt Knio is the perfect place to grab a lunch that's quick but also a bit upscale. My colleague and I popped in at about noon on a Monday, and the place was hopping but the line moved quickly and our wait was less than five minutes. I ordered the caprese on focaccia to eat in, and a cherry almond puff pastry to go. Both were absolutely delicious. And there were about two dozen other items I need to go back and try.

Always hits and never disappoints!!! The pastry, sweet and savory, are always so delicious! The bacon and guyerre croissant has just enough of both!

Pastry display

Alluring pastry display with lots of variety. I couldn't walk by without stopping in. I wish I had seen this before getting a coffee down the street, but alas, I had to take my pasties to go as I was holding a full cup of coffee from another shop and the sign on the door clearly reads "no outside food/drinks". **sigh** There is plenty of seating inside and the line moved rather quickly. We got pain au chocolat, a cinnamon twist thing, and a chocolate pistachio croissant. All were well made and delicious. Wish I could stop in again. Please shower this business with your patronage, Detroit.

So many croissant choices
Katlyn C.

Soo glad we stumbled upon this place. They have a ton to choose from. My husband got the deluxe breakfast croissant, I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and almond croissant! The breakfast sandwich I had was one of the best I've ever had. I enjoyed the almond croissant, but think I would've liked it warmed. (Which I'm sure they would've done if I asked) we also got fresh OJ, and man it was yummy. The only downside is that it was LOUD in there! We would recommend this to anyone!

Monroe Street that it's located off of is under heavy construction currently so it may be a bit treacherous navigating the sidewalk outside, but the pastry shop remains open and continued to enjoy heavy foot traffic during the hour I was inside. The staff members are friendly and recommended the baklava as their most popular pastry, so I ordered one dipped with chocolate and pistachio, along with an iced latte. They had about five small tables along the wall for you to sit and eat at, but the benches are wooden and not the most comfortable for use as a study spot. My coffee was nothing to write home about, but the baklava was flaky and very sweet, definitely one of the best I've tried. They had a huge variety of other pastries too, and if they all taste as good as they look, would be worth checking out too.

I went with my friend here for a birthday dessert celebration. He loves carrot cake and red velvet…read morecake so we grabbed a slice of both. The carrot cake looked delightful but the slice of red velvet looked a little dull. When it was time to indulge we started with the red velvet slice and discovered it was a waste of calories if you're a red velvet fan - the cake was dry and the cream cheese icing was anticlimactic. On the other hand the carrot cake was amazing - super moist and got a 2 thumbs up. In addition I will say the staff was very friendly and patient especially with our loads of questions. I will go back but the red velvet will not be purchased again. Also I love the overall look and feel of this bakery but do wish it had more seating.

I ordered cookies, a scone and tea this morning. Please note that Thursday morning special is only until 11am or right before. I went a few weeks back at 11:30am and staff said "I guess it stopped and switched over." Today was the special pricing for most of it. I also ordered a veggie quiche that came with dressed greens. I would not recommend as it was excessively salty. The spinach seemed to not be chopped and layered near the top. I wish I had stopped at the sweets. Best part whether special or not was the cookies. I don't know if they are baked daily or not, but they were kept in a plastic containers. The space is small, but dining at the Jolly Pumpkin tables is allowed. The management doesn't clearly care because staff is not fully trained. I tried emailing feedback on the Thursday special and no reply after 2 weeks or so.

The pastries at Sweet Ride looked irresistable so we stopped there. I got a little bit of sticker shock when they told me how much I owed them for one cupcake and one eclair -- $9 (each was $4.50). We probably would've skipped it if we'd realized how pricy they were. The cupcake was incredibly decadent and delicious (encased in a milk chocolate shell, inside were a layer of whipped cream and layer of chocolate ganache atop a moist and delicious cupcake). The custard in the eclair was overly rich and the dessert itself too chilled to be especially enjoyable. On a future visit, I'd split the decadent cupcake two ways and skip the eclair.
