Marv-I don't know you, but this is a girl IN LOVE. I have never been in your store and don't know when I will, seeing it's close to 50 minutes away from my house, but I am IN LOVE-oh I mentioned that. Why the love affair you ask? Punchkie(yeah, I know it's not the proper polish spelling, get over it) day!!! Holy mother of jesus, were these things DELICIOUS. This is not your typical assembly line crap you get at dunkin or in boxes at kroger-this is the REAL deal. Aside from being larger than average with a sweet sticky glaze, as opposed to powder on the flavorful dough....it was the punch of filling, which in my opinion can make or break the punchkie. These fillings MADE. I had a raspberry one, this thing was STUFFED with freshly made raspberry goo, complete with seeds so you know it wasn't some bucket of manufactured crap they got at Gordon Food Service. Oh and then there was the second one I ate, which lord knows I didn't need....this was the best effing chocolate creme filling I have EVER had. Not some fake chocolate custard, but REAL creamy frosting type filling that you know by one bite is not out of a jar. It was so fluffy and flavorful, I even scraped my plate for the leftovers that oozed out the sides, when I cut it in half, only planning to eat half, of course, it didn't happen. Overall, if these punchkies that made my annoying workday into a fabulous fat tuesday are an indicator of the rest of their baked goods, I am glad I don't live ANYWHERE near here. Well done, Marv, well done. read more

Things have gotten disappointing the last few times we've come here. Unfriendly service, stale cookies, still overpriced meats and terrible coffee. We haven't been back for months, and I have no urge to. Too bad. 2 of 5 stars that I averaged to 3 because at least they're clean and local. read more

This was one of the best things about Brighton growing up. The Italian sausage is great for any pasta dish. It has just the right amount of heat. The sausage really improves homemade spaghetti. I would recommend the lamb as well. Even after my Mom had burned it one Easter it was still good. The bakery is the only place worth getting a cake in town. The cakes are amazing. The frosting is unbelievable. Real frosting, not that fake stuff you will find on most cakes you buy from a store. read more

Excellent bakery items! My first time stopping in and I was in awe of the selection of everything. Definitely will be back to buy my meats there, everything looked fresh and wonderful. One of the workers informed me this place has been around 60+ years! read more

Marv's Bakery - Awesome place! - Meat Shops Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

Yum-O! This place rocks!! I am in love with little bakeries and this one is no exception. Everything I have had from here is delicious! Donuts, cake, bread, gosh everything is divine!!! The smell of wafting pastries is enough to break your will power and your diet. I walked in and wanted to try everything (and I pretty much did). The chocolate cake was great. Moist with light, fluffy frosting. Just how I like it. The fresh baked bread with cheese was insanely delicious. I do regret that I had them slice it for me. I didn't realize the slices would be so thin (like standard sandwich bread) and that took away from the decadent chunky bread bit experience I had when I tasted their samples. Loved their raspberry filled donut too! The only thing I was not wild about? The customer service. The woman behind the counter was not particularly friendly. The customer in front of me underpaid (due to a mistake on the employees part) and she proceeded to bang on the counter and demand more money. I know that sounds harsh and indeed it kind of was. It was not exorcist crazy but it was definitely unprofessional. Didn't like it. Overall, when in the area this is a MUST! I will be back, glass pounding or not! read more

Marv's fritters are an irresistible combination of apple, cinnamon, frosting and dough. Each fritter is big enough for two people, but I recommend getting your own. Don't be scared off by the sign outside. Marv's also has a meat counter with great cuts of steak and its famous ground round for the perfect hamburger. **Closed Mondays. read more

My husband and I get something from Marv's at least once per week, usually more often during grilling season. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be so close to such a great resource for fresh and delicious breads and meats! Marv's is always busy, so there is enough turnover to ensure the highest quality merchandise. The workers are all fast and friendly. The prices are reasonable, especially because you can generally order only what you want (bread is sold by the bag/loaf, but you can order 3 strips of bacon without any dirty looks). Note that there is a minimum purchase amount required for credit card purchases (possibly $5, but not sure off the top of my head). I ordered a decorated cake for my brother's wedding shower a few years ago, and it turned out great. Everything I've gotten there has gone over well at parties. We most highly recommend: - donuts - paczki - hamburger/hot dog buns - sourdough rye bread (sliced) - chocolate milk - chili-lime marinated flank steak - southwest turkey burgers - slab bacon - filet mignon - meatloaf - blueberry sausage links - cornbread stuffing (with andouille for holidays) - cornbread stuffed chicken - cornbread stuffed pork chops - fresh turkey for Thanksgiving ... and don't forget the pickle! read more

RUDE always without exception/ they Insist you WAIT in 2 separate lines to spend your hard earned money (and people do) WEIRD. when I refused they told Me to leave. read more

I went in to Marv's with my family and the smells overtook me. So wonderful. There's really nothing like this place as far as baked goods go. One thing that I'd ask as a consumer is that they consider selling even a small selection of free-range meat. For some reason when I've asked, twice, for free-range chicken, I've been met with a look, and this time I was told, 'Free range doesn't mean anything, it just means opening a door.' Uh, isn't that something? Free-range, organic farm-raised meat isn't a passing fad (they do have Applegate Farms lunchmeat), and I hope that this great bakery/butcher considers selling to that market -- it'd be an easy five stars. If you sell it, they will come. read more

Also and more well known as the best meat shoppe in Brighton. It has been around for well over 35 yrs looks, taste and smells the same. Bakery is also well known if you are a long time friend of this grossly over grown town you know exactly what I mean and if you don't you're exactly what I'm talking about read more

Absolutely love their birthday cakes! They offer a variety of baked goods on one side of the shop and meats on the other. A great place to stop and shop small and local!! read more

Unbelievably rude. From the second I walk into the store, I get yelled at. For not knowing that they had an absurd 3 person in the store rule. There is no sign for it and there's no way to look into the store to even check how many people are in there. read more

Awesome little bakery and butcher just outside of Brighton. Their pastries and breads and unique are delicious, but the pull apart bread is amazing!!! They have a lot of house made items in the meat case, I can't get enough of the blueberry breakfast sausage. They even have homemade Mac and cheese that can make a hearty meal. Best bakery and best butcher around! read more

This was my first visit to Marv's. I purchased two fillet mignons. They were fantastic!! I was treated very well and decided to apply for employment. read more

Marv's has fresh, delicious baked sweets and bread on one side and a fantastic selection of meats on the other side. Their apple fritters are my favorite. I recently purchased a cowboy delmonico steak and was not disappointed. Reasonable prices and always a nice selection. If you go to the bakery, make sure you get there early. They will sell out. read more

Call night before from Riverview to make sure I could pick up 2 packs on Onion Rolls the Gentleman was great said he save me two packs got there at 10:00 am and the old bat behind counter was rude and just throw 2 Eclairs in a bag both suck together had to throw them out. Every time I would ask for something else rude. Screaming what else! I hope the Owners read this they have my number from ordering Onion Rolls. Next time I will wait for young girl. read more

I really don't care how good the food might be. The staff is impatient and extremely rude. I have no need to ever visit again.

Donuts and bread have always been delicious. Love to get the buttery rolls when we have people over.

always want to try new bakeries. And I would have been thrilled with this find except for the nasty bakery counter help. I would have loved a couple of minutes to look over the items but she would not let me hesitate for a second. Probably would have bought more too. The donuts were good but since she stuffed them all in a bag together there was no distinct taste; lemon cream mixed with chocolate icing, glazed also mixed with lemon icing. there is nothing I hate more than not getting a box for 1/2 a dozen donuts; but having them stuffed together. HATE IT! Also tried the cheese onion rye bread which was also good. But again, that biddie counter help will stop me from shopping here again. I can find good donuts with courteous help many other places than here. Thus the poor rating. If you like to be abused, by all means try this place. read more

Ordered a 21st birthday cake and when I picked it up the name was misspelled! Was supposed to have a martini glass omit and had something that didn't even resemble that! I was told to come back in an hour to fix the name only! This place was out of the way to begin with folks! They were cold, uncaring and refused even a modest price adjustment. The cake was $44 for a 9 inch round! I had never been there and the breads, deli and cookies looked great. I f they had given better customer service I would have used them for these other things but now they've lost that opportunity. Wouldn't it make better business financial sense to give me $ 10 store credit and have me come back???? Just sayin' read more

My family bought some supplies there for weekend brunch. Fresh Polish sausage was nicely seasoned, not too salty, and the right texture. About $7/lb. though. They hadn't marked weight on package, I had to weigh it myself to figure out portions. The Country French and Rustic breads were fresh. They looked pretty. Those were their only good qualities. They had zero taste, and except for one's crust being dusted with a bit of cornmeal, seemed exactly alike. I guess Marv's is in a rush. They were too rushed to label the loaves, so I'm not sure which is which. It doesn't matter much White, fluffy pillows of blah, much too large for their weight, no better than mass-market commercial store bread. "Rustic" breads should have some chewy dense texture. Of course, to accomplish that, you would have to let the dough rise slowly to develop flavor, instead of rushing. In future I will skip the out-of-my-way trip and continue to buy the quite good Artisan line breads from Meijer. They are both cheaper and tastier. read more

Marvs has the best meats in Michigan!! We are blessed to live near Marvs. There are an "old fashioned" meat market, which means they have great products at fair prices with great service!! You can get meat custom cut. For example, get those steaks the proper thickness for cooking on the grill. In addition they have a fabulous bakery as well!!! Do yourself a favor and stop by!!! read more

I love this place! Wonderful doughnuts and you get free coffee with purchase! Great brats and premade burgers. Service is always friendly. I had a custom order on meat for Friday after Thanksgiving that I put in late and the butcher knew I needed it early Friday, but we agreed it would be ready by 11 am. Friday morning the butcher called me at 8 am to tell me it was ready. He went out of his way to help me, which you rarely find these days! AMAZING! read more

My parents, aunts & uncles have taken me to Marv's since I was a child. My uncle had a cottage within walking distance to Island lake. Treat time was stuff from there. Now at the age of 70 I still go there every chance we get. read more

The molasses cookies here are TO DIE FOR. Chewy, yet just the right amount of give, a lil bit of spice in the background, and the molasses is the star, just as it should be. The sugar on the outside isn't too thick or crunchy or metallic-y tasting (which has happened to me when using plain granulated sugar instead of super fine, which I am pretty sure is what they use). My mother will make a special trip out from Northville to Brighton just for these cookies. read more

favorite for years and still the best even with the new competition read more

If you want fresh meat for a special occasion then this is the place to go. Not only is the meat ct to order but many of the better bars in the area order that have the best burgers order their ground beef from here. And the bakery is phenomenal!! Plus they make their own sausage - Polish, Italian, etc. The only day of the week that they are closed is Monday. GREAT PLACE 4 steaks!!!! read more

Got three small bags of eight Paczyki's. The guy helping me asked if I wanted a big bag for the three bags, I asked for a box. He said he didn't have one. I looked around at the four other people with boxes, I asked why they all had boxes. He said, "Because they(the other workers) took the time to fold them." The Paczki's were good, but disappointed with the customer service. read more

This bakery & meat shop is awesome. They always have tons o' samples from their bakery case. There is a mean cinnamon raisin bread, sourdough rye, russian rye, and many more. They also sell delicious pastries (eclairs etc), pies, and cookies (the molasses ones are the best). Whenever we are visiting relatives downstate my parents buy the thick slab bacon and various other meat products, which I don't eat, but my parent's rave about. So, yummy baked goods and your carnivore fix can all be taken care of at one convenient location (when your in Brighton). read more

Great service and top notch meats and baked goods. The breads and sweets are always fresh and cooked to perfection. I've tried several. The meats, all kinds, are the freshest tasting meat you can find. Staff took my order over the phone and had it ready when I came in. There are so Many choices. The stuffed pork chops were amazing. A great place to pick up something quick for dinner. read more

Look, before I moved to Michigan I had 3 favorite bakeries that were guaranteed winners when I need to order an amazing cake for someones birthday/anniversary/graduation. Not to mention amazing Polish and Italian pastries. But that was Pittsburgh. When we moved here and asked around about a great bakery for a birthday cake, we were met with puzzled looks and the name of a grocery store. We tried that, and a couple of bakeries; their results were underwhelming (I remember one cake tasting like onions). Because of this, I had to spend nearly a year taking off the 20 pounds that I gained while learning how to make the perfect buttercream frosting and cake to make up for the lack of a decent bakery. Then I went to a function and politely took a piece of cake planning on taking a courtesy bite and ditching the plate. Instead, I think that angels started to sing. Seriously. I found the woman responsible for the cake, and she told me nonchalantly that she got it at Marv's. Like it was no big deal. I wanted to shake her for more details, but I kept my cool and found out about Marv's - how it's a bakery and butcher and they sell great stuff. We've been to Marv's for their incredible apple fritters (warm - big enough for 3 to share), their cake, and bread (they'll slice it for you). We've never had anything but friendly service, and you get a free coffee with your order. I have nothing bad to say (maybe THAT's my gripe!). If you don't make great cakes and if you want something WAY better than a grocery/warehouse/crappy bakery - try the place. If you don't like it, you're wrong. Because it's a bit far, it never dawns on me to buy meat there, but I do remember seeing some really good looking lamb when we stopped by. read more

Only thing we've gotten here are the chocolate chip cookies. My usual chocolate chip cookie type is thick and chewy. When my DH got these, they were a bit flat and looked like they would be crispy...I was disappointed looking at them until I tried them. They were actually a bit chewy with some crispness and the flavor was really good...not super sweet like I was anticipating. Totally unexpected and I am now craving these as I type this review... read more

Marvs has the best pastries, but the last time I went in there the employee was so rude to me and rushed me when I was the only person in the store. I felt like a burden and it makes me not want to go in there anymore. Super disappointed because Ive always went here when I was a kid. Seriously the best food but they lost a customer. read more

Marv's is great for both meat and bakery needs. They're baked goods are amazing and you even get a free cup of coffee while they fill your order read more

Hands down best bakery in town! I no longer live in Brighton but when I come home for the holiday's we always get a cake from there! The best white cake I have ever had! read more

Great classic bakery and butcher shop. The cinnamon pull-apart is awesome, but make sure to buy 2 because the first one never seems to make it home. The cakes and cookies are average, but the strudel is fabulous in every flavor. The butcher shop is the real deal. Great selection and quality. If you're looking for gourmet, this isn't your place but if you're looking for classic "good eats" this place is a home run. read more

The cakes are all outstanding!! You can also order half a cake. The meats are all fresh and my family has never been disappointed. Places like this are a dying breed. We are thankful to have them in our neck of the woods. Try the blueberry breakfast sausage! You can't go wrong. read more

Merry Christmas! What I appreciate most about Marv's is their customer service and meat prices. My wife and son just stopped in (12/15/18) to buy 4 lbs. of ground veal for stuffed cabbages for our Christmas dinner. She returned with frozen ground veal which she paid a whopping $15.89 a pound for! I thought that was a bit outrageous so I called another local butcher 20 minutes drive from Marv's. They had fresh ground veal for $6.59 a pound! I promptly called Marv's and spoke to the meat manager just to give him a heads up as to what his local competitor was selling ground veal for. He said that because Marv's is so small, that's what they have to pay to bring the veal in. I responded that his competitor is equally as small. This was followed by a 20 second period of silence, after which the manager hung up on me. Needless to say, that will be the last trip my family and friends will make to Marv's. Buyer beware! Kirk H. New Hudson read more

Marv's bakery makes the most awesome and addictive cinnamon rolls I've every experienced. I wish I had their recipe..... Anyway, they are always nice there in the bakery and the meat department. I want to buy everything because it's all so fresh. They even sell pasties and pierogies there! I highly recommend this place for their bakery, chicken and hamburger and much much more. I give this place a 5 star rating. There's not many stores around like this any more. You can also get on their email list for an alert of their specials. read more

I have been going to Marv's for several years and unfortunately will never return. Their customer service is terrible, rude, inconsiderate and unappreciative of their patrons' business. I entered the building 10 minutes early and was very rudely told that they don't open until 7:30. I would have happily come back later, but two employees tried to make me feel like an idiot for not seeing the sign on the door. The last time I was there, the employee taking my order was clearly getting frustrated that I wasn't picking donuts out fast enough. Prices are high, which I don't mind paying to local businesses but not with the poor service. read more
