Not much else to say. Consistently the best doughnuts ever. I lived in these donuts in college and they're still the same excellent doughnuts today. You cannot go wrong with a dozen from Looney Baker. read more

Love this place don't go regularly it's a treat when we (I) do. I was disappointed to find out that the long John's and other filled donuts, and the cinnamon rolls etc have gotten so much smaller. I would gladly pay more for the "old size" rather than get a much smaller version. read more

This is a old-fashioned donut shop, one where you will find all of the classics. I tried a cinnamon roll topped with chocolate and peanuts, and an apple turnover. Both were delicious, and I would get them again. I love their old-fashioned donuts as well. read more

Easily the greatest donuts around the area. I drive out of my way for these, staff is always friendly and helpful as well. A reason to come back again and again read more

I've tried this place two times. The donuts are always fresh. I had no issues with customer service either time. The inside is clean.

Looney is a Livonia landmark. Place is always clean and 99% of the time the staff is friendly and courteous. Prices are fair and selection is fair. Although I've never used it the also have a drive through. Over many years on only a few occasions have I been the sole customer. That should tell you everything you need to know. Parking can get a bit tight at times but there is always a spot. On top of that the doughnuts are pretty good. read more

I thought the donut was just okay for a person with less sensitive taste buds.. I could taste the restaurant grade oil. Maybe the oil was old but I can't go back to a-place that taste that awful oil. read more

Staff is very friendly and got fast service. Asked for a mix and was a little disappointed at the basic mix that I was given, but ultimately only have myself to blame for not choosing which donuts to get. The donuts themselves were tasty and had a good flavor, but not as light and fluffy as I prefer. At the end of the day though, there is no such thing as a bad donut! read more

this is a Livonia gem. This place has been here since I was a little kid and I'm sure existed long before I was even thought of. I really need to go here more often. I don't know if they have good coffee drinks I haven't been in super recently nor for the coffee when I was a kid my grandpa used to come in and get a box or two of sweets. I have been in here several times over the last few years for sweets but never coffee. The staff is always great with their service. They are always happy to see you. The ambience is kind of like stepping into a Time Machine because I remember this place as a child everything is always fast and convenient here they also have a drive-through. I definitely love this place and it is dear to my heart. I should come in more Often. read more

Great consistent donuts. Long time store. Have been there multiple times and consistent.

Legendary! Any who's been told of the of the Looney Baker heard the donuts are good. Anyone who's bought from the Looney Baker knows how delicious the donuts are. Hot chocolate is delicious as well. The customer service is old-school top notch! It gets crowded sometimes but that's because we all know what's good! read more

Great maple frosted cinnamon roll and other donuts, cookies, scones, and muffins. Traditional bakery with friendly staff. Not much ambiance at all. read more

Place is clean and servers are friendly. Price of bakery is not cheap, but competitive. Wish Yelp had a 4 1/2 rating as the apple turnover was a four while the maple nut roll/slice was a strong five. Will definitely be back. read more

Great donuts Decent coffee Good drive thru with pleasant service I would recommend getting a bunch of donut holes or donuts for the workplace which is what I did. Everyone loved them read more

The best for fresh great donuts! Quick and friendly service whether going inside or using the drive thru.

Went there on Fat Tuesday for Paczkis and really enjoyed them. The drive-through line was huge, so I parked and went in, and there was barely a line. I was in and out in 5 minutes with a dozen. They only sell paczkis when it is Fat Tuesday, so don't expect to find donuts on that day of the year! They had custard, lemon, apple, raspberry, and chocolate cream. We didn't try the apple or lemon but got the others. The only one I didn't care for was the chocolate cream, since the filling had the taste and consistency of a cake frosting... not quite what I was expecting. The custard and raspberry were both delicious, though! read more

Stopped by at 5:30 in the morning, the donuts were amazingly fresh and the staff were super friendly.

Always closed, always out of options, it seems they like to work the least amount possible and as a result run out of their donuts often when they ARE open read more

Great donuts, we have been coming for years! You will crave them.....just disappointed in how small the custard have become.

The staff members are extremely nice. The donuts are fantastic. They have a lot of options. I loved the cherry donut! Their coffee is out of a machine (like the gas station type coffee) but it tastes delicious. I love the french vanilla cappuccinos. Their other drinks (like juice and pop) are canned/bottled. The only thing that was disappointing was that they have no indoor seating! It looks like they used to but closed it and never reopened it. It would be so cute and nice to go there and sit at the counter! I wish they would reopen their seating. read more

This place is absolutely fabulous. I'm really glad we drove out of the way to get here. It's kind of tucked back if you blink you missed it however, these two items are substantially delicious and especially the loony ride. It really taste like someone's grandmother made it. I'm a huge fan of apples and Mason specifically in the fall so this is really hitting the spot for me ! read more

No product available. They had 9 or 10 pastries and said that was all they had left. Disappointing, since I drove out of my way to get donuts. read more

Well what can I say great service and Donuts and Coffee. Disappointed that No Gluten Free,So I guess until they do I will be having only coffee. read more

I had high hopes when I saw this place out of the corner of my eye. It definitely attracts you from the outside, but the inside has not made it past 2020. The tables are all put up with boxes all over them. The counter area is clean and the young lady who helped me was very helpful. I ordered the chocolate cream stick and a chocolate Honey dip donut with a cup of coffee. The chocolate honey dip donut was very good. The chocolate cream stick tasted like it had pepper in it?? I am pretty good with flavors but that one kind of took me for a loop. Also the cream was not smooth it was rather grainy. The cup of coffee, weak as can be. I truly expect a donut place to have a good healthy cup of coffee it doesn't need to be starbucks, it just needs to be a good Brew. read more

I really don't understand all the good reviews and voted best Metro Detroit donuts??? I stopped in and tried three different donuts, they were the worst donuts I've ever had, so dry that coffee didn't help. Couldn't even finish them. Staff was friendly but donuts were horrible. read more

Looney bread specialty is good, but there donuts, and various cinnamon rolls were tasty too. Service with a smile and the local vibes made this place extra nice. read more

It's paczki time so I decided to try Looney's. I purchased the apple and cream filled paczki. They were very large, tasty, and enough to share. The dough was light and not overly sweet. They were priced at $3 each. A friendly young man took care of me and made recommendations. The bakery appeared clean when I visited around 10 AM. To me paczkis are similar to bismarcks (jelly filled donuts) but larger. Yes, I would recommend this place. read more

Looney Baker is a must-visit. The Looney Bread is absolutely amazing, and I have purchased them by the dozens over the years to share with friends and at group functions. No one - no one - is ever disappointed! And it is not just the Looney Bread, but the donuts compete well against Donutville U.S.A. and Donutown. Looney Baker is a weekly stop for me, even if I live 25 minutes away! Even my dog knows the way to the Looney Baker, and he always gets a couple of donut holes! read more

Their pics of the cinnamon donut and their looney bread with the raisins look so appealing. I have been wanting to stop by here for quite a while now. They are only open until 2 PM on Saturday. They even have a drive-thru, that's super convenient. It was $9.25 for one cinnamon roll donut and a half dozen of other mixed donuts. The cinnamon roll is not part of the half dozen or it doesn't count, since it's considerably bigger. The cinnamon roll is a good size, it's an extra cost from the dozen or half dozen count. It's not too bad as far as texture or taste. The sour cream glazed donuts are good, nice slight crunch to them. The sour cream and glaze are a nice pairing. The sour cream donuts had the best dough texture and bite to them of all of the donuts for me. The apple cider glaze donut is okay, as is the blueberry glazed and raspberry filled. None are my favorites. The custard is super skinny for a custard stick, the dough isn't bad, the custard is yummy. read more

I had been minimizing my carb intake for a few years so doughnuts were really not in the cards. However, during the pandemic, my diet has been a bit more relaxed and as a result, I have been meaning to return to Looney for a fritter or two. Unfortunately, with back-to-back meetings most mornings, that was not to be. On a day off recently, I dropped in early afternoon for a treat. I had not eaten all day. The space seemed different because pick-up and drive-through are the only options right now. Instead of seeing a line of shoppers in the shop, the line is at the drive-through. Instead of regulars perched at the counter enjoying the banter with their morning coffee, the stools were empty. And instead of seeing smiling faces, they were hidden behind masks. The trays against the wall were half empty, holding glazed, filled, and coconut-covered varieties. I quickly spotted the Looney bread that I was interested in trying. If you've never tried it, it resembles a cinnamon roll, if the cinnamon roll is long, flat, and sliced. The Looney bread features cinnamon studded with lots and lots of plump raisins and chopped walnuts. The bread is glazed in confectioners' sugar. (See picture, below). It was terrific and well worth the wait. The fritter was not as good as they usually are. They were crispy, oily, and sugary - all pluses. But they lacked flavor. Service was, as always, friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to return. read more

Let me preface by saying I'm not a donut person. But of course once I moved to Livonia people kept telling me to try looney baker. My kids and husband love the traditional donuts from here and since we don't go often, it's a treat. However, my passion is their apple fritter. It's the perfect combination of sweet and tart with fresh pieces of apple in every bite. read more

Really like it... has been around forever but they need to make more looney bread because they run out way too fast

Their looney bread is their specialty and it is Amazing. They have the creamiest hot chocolate. The egg salad sandwich is really good. My kids like their Turkey sandwich. The donuts are good. read more

Always good I'm on a salty bagel kick. And Looney baker didn't let me down. Delious and fresh. And of course the donuts are always fresh. With a pretty assortment but of course that depends when you go there I'm a fan for the last 25 years. read more

I only used the drive-thru because i was being lazy - they didn't have anything special... so why 4 stars?! They're staff is so silly and made me smile - very engaged with the customer while i waited for my donuts. I will be back - I'll return and come inside to see what they working with. Happy Eating!!!! read more

If no customers ever came here, it'd be the Lonely Baker. If it was in Pisa, Italy, it'd be the Lean-y Baker. And if he tried to get with a blind girl, who in turn made a bust sculpture of him in a rather creepy video, then it'd be the Lionel Richie Baker. The Looney Baker is absolutely crazy. They're open 24 hours and have some pretty damn good Donuts - especially the famous cinnamon roll which I think is easily the highlight of the experience. The sour cream is really good too, and the glazed is not bad. The one negative is that you can't get into the bathroom without them buzzing you in - but at least they're really nice about it. Given the bathroom arrangement, anyone would think Livonia was a dangerous place but it really isn't bad. I think these people are dealing with crazy late night stuff, because they're open 24 hours so they probably know what they're doing with that arrangement. Definitely five stars, not the world's best donuts, but some of Michigan's better donuts, and cheap, open late, family owned, and what an adorable name. People think I'm a Looney for posting reviews on Christmas Day, but it's not like I have any family to spend it with. read more

I have no pictures of the donuts at this time because they get devoured way too quick. They have such a variety of donuts it's amazing. Their quick service in the drive through to their donut selections that are available almost everyday are perfect! There's nothing amazing and fancy about these donuts but it just screams family owned and I will always support that! read more

Is there anything better than a donut drive thru during a pandemic? I don't think so. Delicious, melt in your mouth glazed donuts and crullers while being responsible and safe? Hot damn! You don't find a lot of drive thru donut places that aren't chains so the fact the Looney Baker has this feature is a rarity and one that should be celebrated! I don't come out this way all that often now that I'm mostly at home but when I do, you better believe a stop through here is on my to-do list. read more

I can't say enough great things about this spot! Always and I mean ALWAYS FRESH! Love the friendly customer service inside and at the drive trhu, which is not very common these days, just sayin'. Best way to start the day! read more

*COVID19 Edition* Uh... how have I never reviewed Looney Baker before? That seems like a massive oversight. I've been going to Looney Baker all my life, and I'll continue to do so as long as I live in the area. Looney Baker is a staple of Livonia, and I'd dare to put it in the same category as Bates. If you're in town, come here. Now Looney Baker doesn't have the most Instagram-esque style of donuts that a lot of bakeries have been trying to get into. They do the simple straightforward stuff, and they do it well. Cinnamon sugar donuts are a classic, and I get them every time. Every once in awhile I'll get a cinnamon roll and that's always a winner. As for pandemic insights, I've only gone through the drive-thru (for most of my life now that I think about it), but I was pleased to see that the person working the window was wearing a mask properly. So that's just the icing on the donut for me. read more
