Dakota Bread Co

Dakota Bread is outstanding! The challah (egg bread) is the very best in town! Same for their raisin challah! I especially love that they have the ability to look up the ingredients of every item they sell. That way I know which products have dairy in them!

I love their Sugar Free muffins. They are really dense, and you can actually taste the fruit in them.

I had heard about this bakery through a friend and thought I would go there to buy some cupcakes for my family for Easter. The customer service was rude &
and not accommodating. I will never go back. There are other bakeries that are glad to help their customers & happy for the business. This is not one of them.

One word: MUFFINS. Pumpkin, zucchini, banana, oh my! There isn’t all that many options but it’s a cute little bakery that has phenomenal products. I have only had the bakery items, so I can’t attest to any of the sandwiches. Awesome challah, too.

Absolutely the worst. I went in to the West Bloomfield store and asked for a sugar free muffin. The counter person put the muffin in a bag and I left. Right outside I broke off a piece to was so dense I couldn’t believe it. I handed it to my companion she wasn’t expecting it and it fell on the sidewalk. The muffin actually BOUNCED TWICE. I took right back the response was from the sales person said «well that’s the way they are». Even though I told her it was inedible. She took the muffin back and would not refund $ 1.95 I spent.
I guess they don’t know how to bake sugar free muffins… if they sell this stuff. They should stop… and right quick !

I ordered the fresh lemonade.
It was made fresh while I waited. It was fantastic.

Their challah is like eating «cake»!!! My grandchildren love it so much we are always taking it to Cleveland and mailing it to San Francisco. They are so friendly and always have a smile on their face.

Amazing challah bread and sweets!!!

Best. Challah. Ever.

Always love being in the vicinity of Dakota bread so I can grab up my family’s favorites… Delicious challah and especially the cinnamon challah which makes the absolute best French toast imaginable. Thanks for being so consistently delicious and for your friendly staff as well!

The best challah and 7 Layer Cake!

It is the best challah in town! We only buy from Dakota! Amazing flavor and fresh every time. We buy there weekly!

My father owned a bakery for many years in Detroit, and I know that Dakota Bread Company makes excellent home style bakery goods, whether it is their challah or their sweet treats. Fantastic employees that are always smiling and willing to assist you in whatever type of order you hVe. I highly recommend this bakery for any baked goods, including their delicious Hametashen.

My rating is on mere customer service. I have bought their bread at local stores and I like it. I recently tried to make my way to their shop to grab a few gifts for my kids teachers. I was on my way (traffic was taking way longer than expected) and noticed that they closed at 6pm. I was probably going to get there right at 6pm. As a small business owner myself, I find myself after hours quite often. If someone calls to tell me they are on their way, but it is cutting it close to closing time. I ALWAYS appreciate their concern and gladly stay late for them. So… I called. The encounter was a bit rushed and my announcement that I was arriving maybe a few minutes after «closing» was rudely accepted. I then realized I had made an error and drove to Great Harvest Bread Co. instead (Christmas shopping stress at best). I wasn’t happy about that mistake and instantly called Dakota Bread Co. back to apologize and say I wasn’t coming and not to wait if they were planning on doing so. The man I talked to was extremely rude and seemed so bothered. I inquired about ordering a basket and was rudely rebuffed. I ended up spending my money at Great Harvest on Maple and happily did so. They were so cheerful, even if it seemed apparent they were busy.

Consistently wonderful challah, especially the chocolate chip loaf on Fridays. I shop there 2 – 3 times a week!

I was not impressed by this bakery. When I entered the bakery I was not greeted granted, there was only one person behind the counter at the time who was already helping a customer. I ordered a muffin and a cupcake. The cupcake was very cold and frozen in the center! The cupcake was not fresh and not very enjoyable. The muffin had a gooey texture and not much better than something you might buy at the gas station. I probably will not visit there again.

Dakota Bread Company is awesome. I found them by doing a google search for a place I could by challah bread in Farmington Hills. I was told there were places in Madison Heights but really did not want to go all the way there just to buy bread for our church communion. And somehow I found this place, and boy am I glad. I know it was communion bread, but SO MANY PEOPLE came up to me and asked me where I bought the bread. And these are people who’ve been living here anywhere between longer than me (4 months at the time) and 30+ years!!!
Anyways, since my first visit, other than the challah, I’ve had their ULTIMATE grilled cheese, a couple cupcake samplers, their coffee, cake push ups, and… several other breads they were sampling out when I happened to be there. And my GOSH it’s all heavenly. (granted, on my rating scale, heavenly is below ‘OMG IT’S FREAKIN CRACK’ despite my faith tradition lol)
The attendants are really friendly and helpful, especially when they’re not so busy but even when they are they are very courteous. They even suggested I get a coffee refill before I asked them.
If they had a wider variety of products, (AND things tasted like crack lol) it would totally be 5 stars. However a lack of a variety of cake brings it down to 4. Granted, I wouldn’t even have noticed except I needed cake one time and they only had sheet cakes… :(
I’d say it’s definitely worth a visit and if it’s your style, keep going. It’s my style. If I wasn’t diabetic, I would go weekly.

They best bread ever especially their challah. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The owners are very easy to work with and happy to accommodate special orders

I really love this bakery for their breads. They do have the best Challah in the city, and my family will kill for their Cinnamon Challah, which we use to make french toast. Don’t wait until late in the day or there won’t be much variety left as they do sell out quickly. I am less than thrilled with their baked goods — while the cupcakes are tasty, they’re also kept frozen until you order one (also the Black and White cookies). With so many cupcake bakeries around, including Just Baked right down the street, I think they should focus on what they do best — BREADS (and their muffins are also very good). You can’t be «all things to all people» so focus on what you do best of all, and people will beat a path to your door (they already do for your breads!)

Had a daily deal coupon that expires tomorrow so I had to go and use it. Glad I didnt wait. there were at least four signs all over the bakery stating «Deals expire on June 3^th, no extentions, no exceptions»…it set a bad tone. I looked on the website and lots of different loafs of bread were advertised but they only had Challah in stock (granted it was Friday). I was hoping to try something different, but I bought a Challah, tuna panini, salad and the last loaf of multi grain bread. The girls behind the counter are fantastic, extremely friendly. Took dinner to my husband, who LOVED the tuna and salad. In fact he said «best tuna ever». The bread is tasty as well. So to wrap up… wish they would stock more variety but we will back for more tuna and salad.
