I adored Graf's Pastry when I used to work near here, but haven't visited in years. Last year, we placed two custom orders with Graf's - one for my parent's wedding anniversary and another for Christmas. The first was a small hazelnut torte with raspberry filling. The second was a bouche de Noel. Both cakes were moist and delicious - more flavor than sugar, which is what we love. Of the two, I preferred the hazelnut, which was perfectly addictive. But I wouldn't turn down a second slice of either. ;-) If your priority is a delicious cake - which it should be - versus over-the-top decorations, you can't go wrong with Graf's. I remember from years ago, they had an excellent cake with fresh strawberry filling. Perhaps that will be our next cake selection. I think we've found our go-to bakery for future cake needs. read more

One of best in the area. Good selections of everything and it is a local small shop. Nothing fancy, just good dessert and made with care. Small complain, the fridge might be too cold therefore the cream in the cake was solid when I got home. After a while it was perfect. read more

I have been getting cakes from this place since I was a kid. Hadn't been back in years. It is a small family owned shop but I have to say the quality has not dropped off a bit since I last went. They may not be the modern beauties you can get at the Asian or middle eastern bakeries, but they taste the fabulous and still look the part. I did a double chocolate cake this time and it truly tasted like a pure chocolate, but not overly sweet. A fabulous cake. read more

Most standard American cakes are overly sweet so I unusually seek out cakes from Asian/French bakeries. Graf's specializes in a wide variety of European-style baked goods and their cakes are super light and not overwhelmingly sweet. Their fruit flan and the Vienna cake are my favorites and I have bought them for several occasions. read more

My family and I have been coming here since I was little. 20 some year later and I'm still going here for their cakes! They're perfect for all types of celebrations. I've never had a bad cake from Graf's. My family loves them because nothing is overly sweet and is perfect! One of my favorites is the Fruit Flan, basically a big fruit tart with custard and a thin layer of yellow cake. I even got my wedding cake made here! Although there was a little mishap, where they got the wrong flavored cake for my bottom tier, it was still loved by all my wedding guests. read more

You can't get better. It is addictive- delicious and aesthetic. I go too often. A perfect dessert or hostess gift read more

Graf's is the best place to go for cakes. They make authentic European-style desserts from scratch every day. What I love about the cakes is that they aren't cloyingly sweet. The frosting is made of whipped cream instead of buttercream, which makes it a lot lighter (only the decorative "flowers" on top are made of buttercream). Over the years, my family and I have tried several different varieties of their cakes, like hazelnut, mocha Kahlua, strawberry, and Black Forest. They are all delicious. We also love getting the fruit flan, which has custard on top of a thin layer of cake and raspberry jam topped with glazed fruit, inside a tart shell. Although the cakes and pastries can be on the pricy side, they're completely worth it, especially for special occasions. read more

This is my most favorite pastry shop in Metro Detroit. They are located in a small shopping plaza near Orchard Lake Road. They have a variety of cakes. If I have a time to call in, I would definitely order a whole Vienna. Vienna is yellow cake and strawberry mousse with assorted fruits on top. The cake is very fluffy and very good. I also like their fruits tarts. Very fresh fruits and the custard tastes good. read more

Service was great and so was the selection. Picked up a flan to take to a friend's house and it was a hit. Everyone loved it!

Everything is so delicious. And the customer service is so good and welcoming... I really like the place. And the price for the size of cakes is very reasonable. read more

If you want real German pastries then Graf's is the best. When they make them, the pretzels are the best.

I was on the way to a housewarming at a friends and said I'd bring dessert. I didn't want to do something I always do so I popped open my handy dandy Yelp app and looked for a nearby bakery. Graf's is the one that caught my eye. I walked in and thought the place had a unique and charming vibe. I saw some regular and giant bday cakes in the cooler that were prelabeled with Happy Birthday so and so. There were probably 12 cakes that had been ordered in the cooler and I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. The woman came from back and told me they had several smaller mousse cakes that cost $19.99. They had vanilla, strawberry, Black Forest and the one I decided on mocha-Kailua mousse with yellow cake. She did the writing in a mix of orange and yellow and it looked very classy against the tan color of the frosting. I got to my friends house and after a few more guests arrived we dug in and OOooooooMMmmmmmGGgggggg did this cake exceed my expectations. It was one of the softest and tastiest cakes I've ever had and EVERYONE agreed and wanted to know where I got it. I'll definitely be back for more mocha-kailua mousse cake and to try there other varieties for my future special occasions. read more

Yesterday was our first Graf's experience--from beginning to end, it was lovely! Ordering was easy, the lady who helped me at pick up was kind and pleasant, and most importantly, our chocolate cake was AMAZING!!!!!! Every member of my very picky family loved it. The cake was moist and light, and the mousse was chocolaty without being overly sweet! The cake was also nicely priced. We can't wait to order from Graf's again! read more

Hidden Gem! We had been wanting to order Graf's Sacher torte for years, and I finally found the perfect opportunity for my husband's birthday celebration. After the long wait, it certainly did not disappoint! My husband is from Barcelona and has a discerning palette when it comes to food and dessert. The Sacher was much less sweet than a typical American dessert, the cake inside light and fluffy with a chocolate ganache coating and thin raspberry preserve layer. Very delicious and so good in fact, we will be placing another order this week for a Father's Day dessert, maybe the hazelnut cake or the fruit torte. We will be back! read more

This is my by far favorite pastry shop. The cakes are so good, especially Rum cake!

Unfortunately, we were less than impressed with this bakery. It's a European place, but I've had some really good European pastries and this place does not get the prize. We ordered a cake for a small birthday gathering and boy am I glad we didn't have a party for that birthday bc we would have been embarrassed for serving that cake. Doesn't even come close to a plain grocery-store bought cake. I would sadly, but honestly say don't waste your time. At least not on the cakes. Had no flavor AT ALL!! Tasted dry and stale. Not sure how they are even in business still. The service was less than fair and the ambiance was like being in an old parlor from the 60's or so. It's like someone didn't want to spend any money on improving the place in any way, shape or form. Someone must have started the business long ago and just wanted to keep it as it was as a memory or something, because there is nothing desirable about this place. Sad to give such a poor review, but it's the honest truth of our experience. read more

This place is a "must" whenever we're in Michigan. We had them make a lemon curd cake for our MI wedding reception, and it still stands as the best cake I've ever had. It's notable that their pastries are sweet enough, but not too sweet. You can really taste the flavors of the ingredients, rather than getting bogged down in a sugar rut. They just celebrated 40 years in business, and we hope they're around for many, many more! read more

I would give Graf Pastry 100 stars if I can !! These guys are simply fabulous and I have tried all their flavors. I have been going to the Graf Pastry for the last 5 years and I absolutely love this place. Their forte - the sweet content in each of their pastry type, in cookies and in their cake is so accurate that it is neither too sweet nor too bland. My favourite is the Peach pastry which I guess is seasonal. I have always ordered birthday cakes and other occasion cakes from here and have had guests raving about it. My favourite is the Strawberry cake and even the Rum cake is outstanding. I highly recommend Graf Pastry to all the sweet lovers, and if you are not a sweet lover, have a trip to Graf Pastry and you will become one. read more

Excellent staff !! Cakes and all their baked goods are delicious. I stop in frequently.

Ordered a large black forest cake for an office birthday 2 days prior to pickup. Picked up the cake at noon, at 2pm when we cut into the cake, the cherries inside the cake were nearly frozen. No instructions when I picked up the cake that I needed to wait for the cake to thaw and at $60 and 2 days advanced notice i would think I'm getting a freshly baked cake. read more

Fresh and delicious pastries, they go great with coffee or tea. My kids loved the tiny snacks.

My family has been going to Graf's for years. Each time my family hosts a shower we always get a cake from here, vanilla with raspberry filling and its heaven. We ordered our wedding cake from Graf's and everyone raved about it. Their cake is just so moist and yummy it's hard to find fault with it. We had a vanilla raspberry and a chocolate/chocolate mousse. read more

I found out about this place when I tried a dessert (Biehnenstich?) at a German picnic I went to. Found out this place wasn't too far from me, so my wife and I stopped in on our way home from work. We ordered two things -- a cookie and a little pastry dessert for our little daughter. Cookie was stale, and pastry cake was getting firm on the outside, so also several days old. I was rather disappointed in their selection and quality, especially when expecting so much after the dessert I had tried previously to coming here. On top of this, they say they don't make that Biehnenstich unless you call in a special order. The store just felt like a run-down place that was trying to keep pace even though it's been dying for the past 10-20 years. Would I eat their Biehnenstich again? Of course. Would I come back here to try something else? No. read more

Wonderful bakery, the friendliest staff and most delicious desserts! This was such a great find on my last trip to Detroit.

Had to rate 1 star or couldn't write review. Walked in this morning to order a cake for my Granddaughters 5th Birthday on Easter. The lady came out from the back, no smile etc. I knew right off the bat this wasn't going to be good. I told her first time customer and you have good reviews. Proceeded to tell her I needed a Birthday Cake and needed it for Easter. Do you have any books I could order from. The most she could do would put flowers on it because they are really busy and have over 100 orders for that weekend, but let me check to see if we can put a bunny on it. Gee thanks, I thought to myself. She came back out and said they couldn't. I said forget about it. Proceeded to tell her she was very rude and I'll never walk back in. Great for everyone who thinks the world about that place. Not me. I went to Lily Sweets in West Bloomfield. 6588 Orchard Lake Rd. Phone 248-626-5551. First time customer and they treated me very good. I did place my cake order with them. They wanted my business. So farewell Graf's. I could say more , but I don't want to get too rude. read more

Friendly, Helpful and Delicious. I was the late guy on Fat Tuesday, stopping in during the lunch hour to get a few Paczkis and order a cake. Of course the person in front of me ordered 3 dozen and took all of the fillings I wanted. Only the prune and apricot were left. Sigh. After ordering the cake, the lady who helped me out confided that she had two empty Paczki shells in the back and could fill them with anything I wanted. I left with two raspberry. Mmmm. Best paczkis I have ever had. I will definitely be back. There are so many delicious looking foods in the display cases. It's hard to limit oneself. I'll have a update on the cake in a few days. read more
