I had no idea I was so close to a Polish bakery. I'm from Hamtramck, where they were everywhere growing up. Imagine my happy surprise finding one nearby that sells all manner of delicious goods! I bought cheese onion buns, cinnamon roll, vegetable bread ring, pumpkin spiral and Bougatsa! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bougatsa 1. Cheese onion buns - 5/5 Absolutely killer flavor, great for sandwiches. Did I eat 6 buns in the same day? No, I ate 2, and then 4 the next day. 2. Cinnamon roll - 4/5 A little heavy and greasy, which can happen with the overly buttered cinnamon roll. Still delicious but oily. 3. Vegetable bread ring - 4/5 The veggies and bread were tasty but surprisingly a little bitter. That's not against the roll itself but I couldn't finish it. 4. Pumpkin spiral - 5/5 Stellar flavor, texture, the whole shebang. Amazingly delicious. 5. Bougatsa - 5/5 Incredible. Phyllo dough, filled with Bavarian cream, covered in powdered sugar and cinnamon. Incredible. I am definitely coming back, especially because Shelly promised there would be blueberry compote, strawberry/mint and apple/peach donuts coming! read more

Possibly new owners. I entered and was not greeted. I normally pick up a caramel cookie and latte. I noticed oddly there were two types of packaging for the cookies and some did not have labels. I asked for assistance since everything was mixed in, this is NOT normal. The lady said everything is label, which I let her know it wasn't and was mixed in. She handed me which possibly was a snickers cookie, it seemed old and hard. I placed that one back and grabbed a softer one. I ordered a caramel macchiato, small. She started making the drink and said she was out of caramel, did I want another flavor? I said sure just do pistachio. The original drink was listed at $4 and the larger $4.50. She rung the drink up as $6. I waited thinking she was going to adjust it, then she asked cash or card? I mentioned the price error. She scoffed that she had to made modifications because they were out of caramel. I told her NOTHING on the menu was $6 and it was a replacement syrup. It was ok, I'll just get the cookie. In a very combative tone she asked, what am I supposed to do with this drink? I shared how I was unfamiliar with their policies. She went on and on about how she made the drink and in her exact words, "I can't explain why it is $6, it just is." At that point I told her I would not be purchasing anything and left. This is a place I enjoyed going to, I wouldn't be surprised if they close soon due to poor service and quality. read more

Best raspberry paczkis that I have ever eaten. I'll be back to try the other flavors. Their marble bread is very good too.

I would give zero if I could. Cake was horrifying, they wouldn't do anything to fix the situation or give a refund. Customer service was horrible and rude. Will NEVER be back or recommend to anyone. read more

G M Paris Bakery - This is the cake we had received. - Bakeries Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

One of my close friends recommended this place, and I was excited to check it out. The location was definitely in an unusual area, but nevertheless, it's the food and customer service that matters. I was greeted very respectfully when I walked in, and immediately fell in love with the decor that surrounded the interior of the store. It smelled amazing inside. I got a fruity pebble and a raspberry filled donut. I wanted to love the donuts so badly, but they turned out stale. However, the customer service from the cashier was amazing, and she was very sweet. I might come back to give it another try, but I'm pretty disappointed. read more

I am absolutely appalled and in shock with my customer service experience ordering a birthday cake. I called and spoke to Timothy. I began to place my order and provided him with my card information for purchase. He then let me know that the cake decorator was out of town and wasn't sure if the cake would be ready for the end of the week. I then told Timothy , I greatly appreciated his time, but with so many circumstances I would not be proceeding with my order and would have to go elsewhere. He then just hung up on me and still proceeded to charge my card. I was shocked and emailed him that night trying to correct the situation. I never got an email back and when I called the bakery Tim answered and was hostile and yelled at me! Telling me to calm down. All I wanted was a refund for a cake that I didn't order in the first place. Tim did nothing ,but escalate the situation and offered no assistance. I am calling my bank and proceeding with better business bureau and police report. This was unacceptable. TIM YOU HAVE RUINED THIS BUSINESS!!! No customer should ever experience how you talked to me or contribute to your business. read more

The manager of this store could not be more rude, mean, and unprofessional. He berated me because I chose not to order a cake. All of the negative reviews are definitely valid! The quality of their cakes are sad at best. What a shame! This place was once great and now it has been run into the ground. read more

Someone brought in paczki's to work on fat Tuesday 2023, they were excellent! Lots of filling in them, would definitely come back here!

Still my go to spot for Pączki Day! Came in yesterday afternoon with a list of flavors for my family and a dream. A dream of fried carb bombs. And my dream came true. I left with 3 boxes, all warm and delicious! They've renovated the interior since I had been there last and it looks great. New chalkboard menus, upgraded paneling on the walls, etc. It looks sharp! Also, this year they put out samples of new menu items for folks to try as they waited in line for their pączki and I tried several, including a tasty spinach pie and bougatsa, a tasty phyllo dough pastry filled with a sweet custard and dusted with cinnamon and sugar. They put it out warm and it was SO good. Traditionally this has been a Polish bakery but my tastebuds and I welcome these Greek additions with open arms. I'll definitely be back again for that bougatsa! They've also started serving espresso and have several varieties of breads, coffee cakes, and of course special occasion cakes. read more

Horrible customer service! Cake looked like it fell on the floor or a toddler made it! Never giving them our business again! read more

Just because someone told you your cakes look great doesn't mean you should open a bakery. These are NOT professionally decorated! I'm married to a retired cake instructor. Friend bought a birthday cake. They DID NOT nail it!! No apologies, no help and so rude! Went to another bakery and they made her a cake in an hour. Long time customer but I'm done. They could have easily had a bit of customer service and corrected this. read more

People aren,t the most friendly especially the owner. Seems like their hours are all over the map from day to day. Taste was good and reasonably priced read more

The WORST birthday cake I have ever had! I wish I could give it ZERO stars. We used to get all of our birthday cakes from this bakery when my kids were younger. They were so good before! We hadn't gotten anything from here in years because we moved. I was so excited when my husband told me he ordered me a cake from Paris Bakery for my birthday but... what a huge disappointment! It was awful. Worse than crappy grocery store cake. It was ugly. The frosting was disgusting. It was supposed to be buttercream but tasted like chemicals. My husband paid $51 for a 9 inch layer cake that was inedible. I called and spoke with the "manager" "Tim" and asked for a refund. He was RUDE and said he had to talk to the decorator and then hung up on me. DO NOT ORDER A CAKE FROM THIS PLACE. You will be sorry. read more

I thought I'd eaten the best donut already but today I realized those weren't it. I had a raspberry filled donut and a cup of coffee and yes, it was the best donut that I've ever eaten. So good that I've scheduled to eat there bimonthly. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Customer service was friendly and helpful! read more

Stopped in here the other day just because I know it is a long time Livonia business. I had to wonder if my mother ever came in here during my childhood. The name ring a bell but there was also a Paris Bakery in the town they retired in in the 70s so I don't know which I might have been remembering. I had read some Yelp reviews so I had an idea of what I might like to try. I ended up getting the Paczki, a box of Chrusciki/Angel Wings, plus an apple cider donut and an apple fritter since they are long-time favorites. No, I didn't plan on eating them all in one sitting. I figured I could spread them out over the next week in my motel room. I've already eaten both cider donuts and the Paczki and the angel wings. All were delicious. The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. She even threw in an extra donut for me. Nice. I guess I'll have to add this to my regular spots to visit whenever I'm in town. read more

Love their poppy seed coffee cake, paczki, borek/spinach pie. I miss the (very) old days when they had old fashioned cookies, but they still have great options for breakfast and a snack. read more

Picked up bread for Christmas. Excellent variety, great value, wonderful staff. Donuts looked really good...maybe next time.

Sweet small little business! I saw them selling at the farmers market at the Wilson's barn in Livonia on Saturday mornings and they have such yummy breads like the onion roll and oatmeal raisin cookies! The same gentlemen was selling the items and told me about their business nearby. Loved them!! read more

I'll give it to this place, they've got some solid paczki. However, I've been going here for years and I can now say this with confidence: For the love of Pete--If you know custard is one of the most popular flavors, make enough ahead of time so you aren't rushing batches. Or at least do a little quality control. I'm sick of waiting 45 minutes in line and having to wait even longer for a fresh batch of custard filled, only to get home and they're RAW in the middle. I've never had this problem with any of the other flavors. They've all been cooked perfectly. I look forward to the day when I don't have to throw all of my custard paczki in the garbage. read more

Amazing donuts and coffee. The owner is also a really nice guy.

Thee Carmel cookie was what I wanted to try. It was $2.50 I thought that was a bit much, but it was worth every bit of it. But the peanut butter cookie was to die for. i went back they were closed can't wait to get back. Best peanut butter cookies in the world read more

Decently good bakery, some things are really delicious. It's never particularly well stocked with all products but it does the trick in a pinch, besides I always stop in after lunch at Hope's so by then they are probably picked over a bit.. I am resentful that they no longer carry my fave cookies from my youth, the large round sugar cookies dotted with unmelted chocolate chips right on top. I ask but nope they won't do them. Why? What? Lame. The other cookies are decent but none compare. They carry kolachy though and I have a soft spot for kolachy. At any rate the cakes are nothing fancy but they taste good. I like the strawberry shortcake one the best. They also have decent boston cream pie. The sweet dough coffee cakes are generally tasty, I particularly like the sour cream ones. The pound cakes are all very good, I am partial to the zucchini and banana nut. I have stopped in here a couple of years for paczki when I could not trek to Hamtramck and they worked. I am a custard, strawberry or raspberry fan and these are tasty versions of those three varieties. They sell em all year but they are of course more deluxe and hideous for you on paczki day itself. The rest of the donuts are merely ok. The refrigerator cases hold decent pierogi from Polish Harvest in Hamtramck, including my must have farmer's cheese variety. They aren't cheap but they taste nice so I usually pick some up and make them for the always happy to see pierogi on his plate James. The staff is never all that friendly in my opinion. They do their jobs well enough but it would not hurt to crack a smile or be more helpful. All in all definitely worth a stop but they could be better if they would be a bit more flexible for customers. read more

I ordered a dozen cakes for a bridal shower and they were simply stunning and delicious! Each cake was perfect and tasted fantastic! Shelley at the front counter is so pleasant as well as patient she was amazing to work with! I highly recommend this bakery!! read more

This was my first time going to this bakery. I saw a awesome cake made from this bakery which made me want to try them out! I ordered a farm animal cake for my sons 2nd birthday. I was Alittle hesitant after the owner called me to tell me the cake decorator couldn't do what I originally asked for, with me being short on time and not many places open due to corona I stuck with them giving them the benefit of the doubt. The owner was sure I would be happy!! I picked up my cake today and was speechless.. although the owner was super nice and tried to make sure I was happy, I'm just not! Horrible writing, cracked frosting/cake and simply just not cute. I won't be back read more

G M Paris Bakery - a birthday cake for a child - Bakeries Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

I went there today to see if they could make a specialty cake for me. I was immediately greeted by a nice woman. She called a lady from the back to answer my question about a cake. Unfortunately, they are not making specialty cakes at this time however, she took the time to recommend another bakery and even looked it up online to show me pictures of the competitors cakes! How nice was that! Well, I had to get a donut since she helped me and wow, that was fantastic. I definitely will be returning there! Thanks for your help ladies. read more

The quality of product is wonderful! The line for paczki was long and the prices were pricey and that wasn't a problem. The problem was, even though they requested orders be written out, not one of the three half dozens were filled properly. Receiving plum instead of custard was very disappointing. read more

I stopped in to get my paczki craving fulfilled and was so greatly suprised at how they updated bakery since i had been there last WOW!!!! Vey nice indeed all of their items are delicious !!! I try not to go to often toooo tempting LOL But will be back on Fat Tuesday for more !!! Love this bakery !!! read more

The amazing aroma of freshly made paczki was quite the tease while waiting in line! I arrived at Paris Bakery early on Fat Tuesday to get paczki's for everyone at work. The line was huge, but that was a great sign of the goodness awaiting inside. They had a gentleman playing polka songs on his keyboard inside to keep smiles on everyone's faces as they waited. The staff was all hard at work from restocking, cleaning, taking orders and ringing up the register. The paczki verdict? Melt in your mouth softness, gooey and sweet! (Most likely artery clogging too...) Who cares! Fat Tuesday is THE day to be a sinful eater! read more

My family has been coming here for our orders of Paczki every year for at least 15 years. We have had raving reviews from everyone we gave them too. This year they clearly cheapened the recipe and they were terrible. We ordered about 2 dozen raspberry glazed. First off the glaze barely covered the donuts, a clear sign they were more worried about speed than quality. Second the filling went from a real fruit filling with even seeds to a bright red mess that tasted like your average store bought fruit snack filling. The dough was noticeably duller too and lacked real flavor. We recently heard they are under new management which is very disappointing since it seems they do not care about quality anymore. We thought we would always have this great spot for Pazcki every Fat Tuesday but now we have to search for someplace new. read more

We have been going here for years. The raspberry filling is the same as it has been for years (a few seeds and tastes like raspberry). A jelly donut is just that not a jam donut. They were not greasy (that is because the oil was hot). So let Craig J. go somewhere else and leave more for the rest of us. read more

Paris Bakery created a beautiful cake for my son's confirmation. We had planned to get the cake from a different bakery, but those plans fell through at the last minute. When I called Paris Bakery to explain my predicament, they accpted my cake order without hesitation. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and really went the extra mile to make a beautiful cake for our celebration. Not only was the cake made on time and beautifully decorated, but it was very moist and delicious as well! We received so many compliments on my son's confirmation cake! One of my friends said, "we now know where or order all our cakes from now on." The Paris Bakery is owned and operated by wonderfully kind people. They were definitely our heros in regards to our cake predicament. If you need to order a cake, I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be repeat customers! :) Thank you Paris Bakery!!! read more

The cake is amazing! I worked with this shop for my wedding cakes and WOW, they really blew me away! I can honestly say that I do not recall ever tasting a more delicious wedding cake in my life. I kept my cakes simple, flavor wise. I had one 2-tiered cake for display, which was white cake and vanilla butter cream, and two wedding style sheet cakes, one marble with chocolate butter cream and the other chocolate cake with cherry butter cream. I received rave reviews from all of my guests on every flavor! And also on the appearance of the cutting cake. It was really beautiful. The price was low and the quality very high! Thanks again Paris Bakery!!! read more

I was fortunate enough to run into this place at the Livonia Farmer's Market. I tried a cherry chip poundcake that was wonderfully sweet, with lots of cherry flavor, and a tasty crumb top. I had "one more piece" several times on Saturday until it retired on my counter top 75% lighter at 1am. Look forward to going back! read more

They are making paczki's already. I saw them sold at a party store in Plymouth on Sunday Feb 27, 2011. This bakery has the best paczkis because they add loads of filling in them. read more

A Polish Bakery in Livonia, you say? Yes! It's been there for decades. Basic, no frills Bakery that specializes in wonderfully soft loaves of bread, and paczki. The lines are long on Shrove Tuesday so get there early. Custard, raspberry and lemon are the best. Lots of sugary goodness that melts in your mouth and they are ginormous! read more
