They never have any donuts after 8am. I've stopped and walked out 5 times. Not going to try anymore.

I can't remember a time in my life when a box of homemade donuts from the Looney Bakery doesn't make everyone's day! From the nutty donut, the chocolate sprinkle, and the good old cinnamon roll. Makes me think of my grandparents read more

Looney Baker - Fresh donut - Bakeries Near Me - Highland, Michigan

They don't have any selection here at all! The rude staff doesn't help anybody but the regular old guys who sit there and drink coffee all day and by 9 AM they're sold out of all of their donuts except for the stale crunchy donut that suck. This place has certainly gone downhill. And what are you gonna use all those premade boxes for if you don't have any donuts? read more

People in the area seem to like the place and they sell out daily. I wanted to really like it but I didn't care for the donut I got. I got a maple iced one instead of a long John because they were out and I felt like I could taste the lard in the donut. I'll give it another try another time. The people are nice and it's a cute little spot. Definitely a local place. One of my best friends and her kids also love it here. read more

I'm going to make this short and not so sweet. If you're going to sell day old donuts you should let your customers know what they are buying. And I was there at 9:30in the morning. Very disappointing. read more

Great owners and great doughnuts have been going there for many years, that down home filing when you walk in. Give it a try. G. Luck

Use to live near the Livonia location, but now love near the Highland location. Called ahead before stopping by to see if they had any apple fritters left (it was early Friday afternoon and I know they sell out quickly). Employee agreed to hold one for me until I came in a while later - excellent customer service! When I arrived, I decided to pick up a few more sweets - Got a glazed donut, apple fritter, caramel apple croissant, and cinnamon roll all for $5. Everything was fresh, moist and melted in your mouth. The croissant was a bit over cooked which made the outside crust a bit hard but the filling tasted like apple pie. Highly recommended for not only great fresh donuts, but reasonable prices for a bakery setting. read more

Looney Baker - Delicious treats (caramel apple croissant, cinnamon roll, and apple fritter) - Bakeries Near Me - Highland, Michigan

Delicious donuts in a family- run atmosphere. Definitely the best donuts in the area. Table seating for a coffee with your donut is small and cozy, but very homey. Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

I was just telling a friend about the Looney Baker and that they have my favorite donut ever. So I decided to see if they were still in business and I'm thrilled that they are. I left Highland Twp in 1986 but I still count their donuts as the best. I was a Township Trustee back then and I would take my son there on Saturday mornings for hot cocoa and donuts...he would help fold boxes while I talked to my constituents. I loved the Looney Baker! read more

Good coffee & selection of cake, filled, frosted donuts as well as muffins, scones, brownies & cookies. I try different items all the time. Looking forward to paczki day coming up. read more

Looney Baker in Highland is very supportive in our community. They are a Bronze sponsor for our Comedy Night at Baker's on April 13, 2024. This event raises money for Blessings in a Backpack. Thanks Looney Baker for helping us feed the children that need it in the area on the weekend. read more

Good, but not great. I'm kinda torn between giving it three or four stars because I know the Looney Baker has been better than what I experienced this last time, but I'm going to just go with it and rate it based on what I saw first-hand last week. We stopped in for some pastry at 12:30 and the place was nearly cleaned out of baked goods. Seriously, at noon? The staff didn't seem to be in much of a rush to make more and it kinda seemed like they were just going to coast through the rest of the day (until 6 p.m., I believe) on what they had left. I even asked if they were making anything else and the guy standing behind the counter brushed my question off. Well, okay then! Like I said, there wasn't much left to order at noon, so we picked a few cream cheese and custard filled pastries to go. The selection was limited, but they had a few that looked like winners. To be honest, the custard-style pastry was kinda dry and tasted like it had been left over since the day before, although I'm sure it wasn't (they open early around 4:30 a.m. every morning), but it wasn't really fresh and was lacking in custard filling. The other pastries were okay, particularly the apricot pastry. That one was pretty decent and I would've ordered more of that type, but it was the only one left. What a pity. I was jonesing for some decent coffee or a cappuccino (I mean, what bakery worth its salt doesn't have good coffee to go with their donuts, right?), but they only had a commercialized "gas station-type cappuccino" out of a dispenser for $1. I don't know, but I doubt that "gas cap" would've truly tasted anything like Salted Caramel Cappuccino as it said. I passed on it. There wasn't even any regular coffee made. Weird. As for the service, well, it has been better and definitely should have been better on this day. The guy that waited on us acted like we were an intrusion, to an extent, and was a bit gruff. I don't remember the service being so non-cordial the last time I picked up donuts. Perhaps we came in on an off day or something, I'm really not sure. At any rate, the pastry was kinda stale and not quite up to snuff and the service didn't rate. Oh, and outside on the door, there were signs plastered all over the place announcing prices would be raised throughout the bakery on March 1st (we were there a few days before). One of the nicest things about Looney Baker has been their consistent quality and low prices, but it looks like the prices won't be quite as nice after this week. I don't know how much they're going up, but hopefully the quality will go up again along with the bottom line. It was rather weird because I've gotten really good donuts and breads from Looney Baker before, with excellent service, too, but this experience was just a little off. read more

Good doughnuts. Nice selection. We got a dozen assortment. This is a pick up and go place

My husband and I will set alarms to be up at 430 to get in the car just for the doughnuts and bagels here. It's delicious as well as fast, and their pastries are HUGE compared to everything else around highland. I love them forever. read more

Closed the Monday before fat tuesday. I'm sitting in the parking lot call explain I'm from over an hour away and need anything to bring to a meeting, says he cannot do anything for me. Wouldn't help with another bakery or something near by as i watch them let another customer in the bakery. Bull shit people bull shut service guessing their donuts suck too. Spend your money elsewhere! read more

Looney Baker - Bakeries Near Me - Highland, Michigan

I have lived nearby for 5 years and don't know how I never noticed this place before. I got a dozen donuts and a half dozen bagels. Everything was so good, and way better than the chain stores even though they didn't look as "perfect." I am not a coffee person, but couldn't resist trying the salted caramel cappuccino for only $1, and it was really good. Will be back! read more

Looney Baker - Bakeries Near Me - Highland, Michigan

I've lived in the highland area since birth ('81) and the Looney Baker has been a staple for decades that fails to disappoint. Yeah, there's no glitz or glam, and the selection might be small, but it's a community meeting place that ties us together. Oakland County police can be seen early in the AM having a cup of coffee at the table, and the regular old-timers can be seen chatting it up on the other side. Apple fritters are still my number one donut, and second in line is the plain glazed. Add that and a good cup of coffee and you have your usual morning start. Don't be discouraged at some of the negative, because they're not aware of what we DIDN'T have before Highland built up to what it was. Back in the mid 80's and early 90's? You said "Looney Baker" to any Highlander and they knew just what you were talking about. That, and D's Cafe. read more

Yeah, first time there, and we were made fun of for asking about fry cakes. No one uses that term. Oh, and sucky by the way. Tasted like some stuff from 5pm Krogers. Yes, I am accusing them of refrigerated stuff. It's a distinct taste. read more

Perhaps I have a unfair perspective of what donuts should be living so near to Sweetwaters all these years. However this was a little disappointing. Not much in the way of variety. About 6 kinds of pasty 4 kinds of muffins on a Sunday afternoon. The coffee was burnt tasting and weak as a five day old kitten. Not sure what I was hoping for but I left underwhelmed. read more

Looney Baker - Long John with custard filling - Bakeries Near Me - Highland, Michigan

These donuts are bad... I wanted to like them but they just don't taste good. The cherry fritter is tasteless. It tastes like plain dough. The double chocolate donut has a funky taste. The chocolate glazed donut was also tasteless and did not taste like chocolate. The only thing that had decent flavor was the cheese danish but it was hard. I love supporting local business but unfortunately I will not be back.. read more

The best peanut doughnut ever. Looney Toons dolls and posters have replaced the smoke and cops that used to frequent this joint which is not my favorite, but it doesn't take away from the great doughnuts. Opens real early and everyone is very friendly. read more

The donuts are delicious, but their politics are bs. Why are they criticizing the governor on a sign on their window and selling Trump hats in the store? Nobody cares about your views. read more

The donuts are good but the filling in the long johns is next to non existent. It's best to get there very early because afternoon there isn't anything left. Besides the donuts, the woman behind the counter that waited on me was extremely unfriendly never said Hi or thank you. Actually she acted as if I were an inconvenience. I've never been to a business where the employee was so snotty. read more

Super disappointed in their lack of masks and gloves. I bought a donut but can't decide if I should even eat it.

Horrible Service Horrible old stale tasting food would not recommend very unsanitary no hand washing use same gloves to pick doughnuts and use cash register Stay away from this unsanitary establishment !!!!! read more

Oh my! If you love pastries and all around great baked goods, check them out!! Friendly, helpful staff and great products! Just heard about some special bread only baked 2 times a week. Going to investigate that! I purchased a dozen donuts for the office. They are outstanding! Be sure to try this place!! read more

Excellent donuts. I stopped by here on my way to my dad's place in White Lake to grab some donuts for the bunch of us helping to put his boat in. The Looney Baker did not disappoint. Fresh, delicious, & and addictive, these donuts are the real deal!! read more

Poor selection in this dark empty bakery. I wanted to support a local bakery, but they are just not what I'm used to. Single muffins wrapped in plastic wrap on big trays scream out that they aren't fresh. We wanted 2 apple fritters but they only had 1 at 8am on a Sunday. I doubt I'll ever go back. read more

We moved to the area 1.5 years ago and stopped in. Best decision ever. The donuts are incredible and the staff is very friendly. Donuts actually have filling! This will be the only place I miss when we leave Micigan. read more

After wanting to stop at this bakery for several years thinking it was the same as the one in Livonia, let me just say it was a highly disappointing experience. The chocolate donuts had no flavor and the donut holes actually crumbled into pieces when you bit into them from being dried out and the custard sticks were dry as well. Then, I looked at my receipt and they charged a 4% service fee for using a card to purchase. That may have been my fault as there may have been a sign posted regarding that, but I don't recall seeing one offhand. I have had way better donuts than this place and will not go back. Knapp's Donuts in downtown Rochester and in Troy beat the pants off this place. The ones I had from the Livonia Looney Baker were fantastic as well. I will say, though, the staff were VERY nice. read more

I stopped in this bakery this morning to buy a dozen doughnuts. I counted over 13. I asked for a dozen and the mean lady behind the counter said "I dont have a dozen" She told me to go to Meijers or Dunkin Doughnuts. When I told her I would take what she had left, she got extremely upset and started throwing doughnuts in the box. I asked why she was so irrated and she whipped around and said GREAT! NOW I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO SELL FOR THE DAY! Don't go here!!!! The mean lady behind the counter is SO RUDE! read more

opens early, doughnuts have less filling then they use to but taste good. sometimes not child friendly but good for take out.

Can't believe how horrible the experience was. I wanted to get doughnuts for a few co-workers. I asked for 2 cinnamon rolls that were behind the counter. The woman working said "those are hard, you don't want those" so I then asked for another type of doughnut. The women reached for them and said "sorry those a hard too" instead of pulling them from the shelf the women just placed the doughnut back down on the shelf. I left with out purchasing anything. read more

Never mind the old comments!!! There has been new owners for a little while now and they have really stepped up the doughnuts! Great doughnuts, far better than the big "known" stores. Friendly service, and good coffee too. You won't be disappointed. read more

NOT what it used to be. I can remember coming here as a little girl with my Dad. Back then my parents had one vehicle and we would drive my Dad to work. Each morning my dad would cradle my sister and I up in his arms from our beds and take us to the back seat, still wrapped in our blankets for the ride. Every morning we would stop and The Looney Baker. My Dad would take one of us (usually whoever wasn't still sleeping) in with him while my mom waited in the car with the other. They were so kind and friendly. They would write "Hi Ruth" on my moms cup with a smiley face, knowing she was in the car waiting. Now... the service is sterile. Its covered it old, outdated cartoon characters. (let it go, it's horrible). The coffee is still pretty good but it needs some "mama and pops" local community feel back in it. Needs a good overhaul, but not in the modernized, trendy or chic fashion. read more
