I was quickly helped and purchased a coconut cream pie for $21. It was a hit with everyone at the potluck. From now on, I will be buying my desserts for parties and potlucks from Josef's.

I am being told that the cakes are so overdosed in sugar there is no other outstanding taste. Most recently a carrot cake went to a family and they ended up taking it into work for the other employees because it was just inedible. Nobody eats that kind of sugar anymore - if they ever did. I thought I should share that information for those who are looking for bakery cakes that have flavor.

i've been wanting to come to this establishment so i made the choice to when i was in the area…read more well, there's a small parking lot for their business but that's alright because it wasn't packed when i went. one of the employee was attentive and came to help me pick my order so i appreciated that. i ordered their small cannoli's along with their swiss roll cake and eclairs. all of those were so good! i just wish it wasn't THAT sweet for the swiss cake but the raspberry icing in it helped balanced that out a little bit. however, their strawberry butter cookie was too dry for me, i didn't enjoy it. maybe it would've tasted better if i had it fresh? i'll be back for sure, the cannoli's was the best. i will also try their tiramisu & subs next time. it was hard to pick between all of these goodies... one thing i will suggest... is to have their bakery items priced as we don't know how much they're charging us for. i was certain it couldn't be that much but my total came out more than i'd thought, so perhaps each item is probably around $2 or more. so that's why i gave it 4 stars.

Excellent small mom and pop bakery. The majority of the business is bread that is fresh baked…read moredaily that has excellent texture and taste. Prices are a super value for this area where a large loaf of their Sour Dough bread is only $4.50. As a comparison, Zingermans large sourdough loaf which I buy on a regular basis is $8.50 these days and their size is clearly not nearly as large as the Gold N Bakery loaf. For bread this good and of this quality you cant touch this price at any of the stores I frequent. And when I say it is a large loaf, it's a LARGE loaf versus other sour doughs you get elsewhere. The store itself is really not much to look at where there is a pretty sparse order counter in the front where the bakery is clearly visible in the back with racks full of fresh bread clearly visible from the front. Nice! This is a clear example of substance over style which I so appreciate as most businesses dont do this anymore. Overall if fresh well made bread is your thing and you don't want to pay an exorbitant price for it than this is a business you absolutely must visit. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

I don't have to drive to Dearborn for man'oushé (flat bread) if I am nearby for work. 2 Everything is fresh, bread is roll off from a machine at the back and then bake in the brick oven. They need to bake it a little longer because the back of the bread is sort of white. 3. Meat bread is not oily for some reason. more tomato flavor compare to other bakery. Maybe that's how the owner likes it. 4. Zaatar flavor is mild, herb is not overwhelming. Maybe because I ate it when it was cold. 5. Cheese bread is good, bread is thick like pita bread which is odd. Nice to see owner sitting there watching the whole operation.

I love a good bakery, and I'm so glad Metro Detroit (in particularly Troy) has an artisan bread spot like this. I wanted to try it before I left the area, so my high school friend and I checked it out during our lunch break earlier this week. After we got out of the car, parked a few spots away from the bakery, I could smell the freshly baked, yeasty aroma which got me even more excited. The interior is small and simple, but there's a variety of sourdough options (see menu attached), focaccias, and pastries. On the right side, there's also granolas and teas for sale, along with samples of the hibiscus tea which was refreshing. "E. BAGEL" SOURDOUGH - 13 My dad likes bread and eats a couple slices raw for breakfast everyday, so I figured he might like the "everything but the bagel" option. It was nutty, but also fluffy and bouncy. I don't get the appeal of eating bread on its own; if it were up to me, I would enjoy this with some toppings like avocado and tomato. LEMON + BLUEBERRY SCONE - 4.50 I didn't really want to try any of the scones because the amount of glaze drizzled on top made me think it was going to be way too sweet. My high school friend bought me one to try, and it was actually not sweet at all! The scone was nutty, lightly sweetened by the lemon glaze that wasn't even that sweet. I love the combination of lemon and blueberry. This is different than other scones I've had! CHOCOLATE + ORANGE MUFFIN - 5 Good and also not too sweet. This leans more chocolate tasting than orange, which is a bit subtle. It didn't taste overly fatty either, which aren't most muffins! Pretty solid, but I enjoyed the scone more. I really liked the sourdough and pastries from Sourdough Ida. I'm excited to get more of the scones in future visits!

Wow best Sourdough bread I have had in Metro Detroit. My go to Sourdough is Zingermans which I…read morehave eaten since my college days in Ann Arbor (Go Blue!) where this bread is literally head and shoulders better than that which is saying a lot! Their Classic Sourdough is great and the Everything Bagel Sourdough is absolutely exceptional in my opinion. There are other Sourdough variants sold here that are equally good to include Seeded, Jalapeño & Cheddar and Whole Wheat. Absolutely tasty across the board. Relative to the facility, it has a relatively small footprint where there is an order counter with fresh bread behind it and a sampling station out front in the customer area. The samples are of all the breads and generous in size allowing you the ability to taste what they have to offer before picking your bread. I went in planning on getting only the Classic Sourdough but after sampling the bread I ended up getting the Everything bagel as well which I am guessing is a common occurrence with new customers like myself (: As mentioned in other reviews this bread is a bit on the pricey side where My Classic Sourdough was $10 a loaf and the Everything Bagel is $13 a loaf. Price aside, quality of this nature and the organic Artisan nature of the bread usually comes at a premium which at least in my case is worth it as this bread is just so darn good! The old axiom that you get what you pay for applies here. I will definately be returning in the near future and will be buying this bread as one of the center peaces for family get togethers going forward.
