Got a birthday cake and 1 dozen cookies there this past weekend for a family members birthday. The cake was amazing and so were the cookies! Plus the price is great! I paid more for a cake bought at a grocery store that wasn’t nearly as good.

Not a fancy place but it is amazingly delicious! I love all of their pretzels! My go to is the ham and cheddar pretzel! Coffee is pretty good as well. .
Check it out when in Dexter.

Just bought some holiday springerle’s. And like last year they are horrible. Way to much anise for almost anyone’s taste. Ate one and threw the rest away! Should have learned my lesson. Find the old owner’s bakery now in Pinckney, they are mush better but they keep forgetting to make them?

It is nice to have a local bakery, but even nicer to have a good one! Their donuts are fantastic, with my favourite being the apple fritter. It has a nice light crunch on the outside, and is soft and sweet inside. Their bread, which is on par price-​wise with most store boughtmass produced stuff, is almost as good as their donuts.
The one problem I have with the Dexter Bakery is their croissants. I don’t know what kind of dough they use, but it is nothing like any croissant I have ever had. I simply avoid getting their croissants, but with so many other great choices it isn’t a big problem.

The Dexter Bakery has amazing, fresh apple fritters with the best coffee in town! I love taking a walk down here from my office to take a breath of fresh air and have a delightful snack!

I am not a huge donut person, in fact, I’m extremely picky about them if I’m going to have one. The only places I will ever get a donut are Dexter Bakery and Dom Bakery.
The split crème donuts at Dexter Bakery are out of this world. The only sad thing is that they are so far away. I won’t drive to Dexter for a donut. Sometimes they ship them to local shops, but if you’re not there at the crack of dawn, all the good ones are gone. I wish Dexter Bakery would expand itself more into the surrounding communities.

Ann Arbor connoisseurism (snobbery?) is seeping into surrounding communities, but Dexter has one firm bulwark against it in the Dexter Bakery. Interior is a blend of pre-​Depression woodwork and 1960s linoleum, but atmosphere is beside the point. This isn’t a coffeeshop where people hunch over laptops for hours or linger over novels. Though there are a few tables, mostly people come in, grab their donuts, and head out to wherever they’re going. And those donuts are fantastic. I’ve only had a few, but they’re always fresh, never oily, soft but not chewy and they always leave you wanting more (another good reason the place doesn’t invite lingering). In some locales, their makers could label them «artisinal» and keep a straight face, but Dexter isn’t one of those. Its bakery gives you an idea of what you might lose if your town becomes one.

I absolutely love this place! From its antique/​historical feel to sharing a table with local patrons. The donuts are fantastic, the stuffed pretzels and muffins are delicious. This is why you might see people lined up out the door on a sunny Saturday morning. However, I took a chance ordering a cake for my daughter’s birthday. I didn’t give them much to go on but said make it pink and girly. They nailed it! And all of my family raved about how good the cake was. Next up was my son’s birthday and his only request was a minecraft cake. They nailed it again and by far exceeded my expectations! I’m hooked and have had to part ways with my old favorite, super-​sized Costco cakes. Dexter bakery has all of my business.

Holy donuts, Batman. Old school and basic, the inside of Dexter Bakery is unassuming until you sink your teeth into their baked goods. It’s only then you can appreciate a real donut and a real pastry. I took a huge box of goodies back to work and the following was reported: «This custard goodness with chocolate on top is as good as sex, but you know, my wife’s pregnant right now.», «This was exactly the sugar fix worth ruining my diet for.» «Damn you, Mary, I’m trying to be good.» «This chocolate croissant will be a nice dessert for lunch.» «What the hell woman? You know I’m trying to diet.» And, me, silent because my teeth were sinking into a cheese pretzel. The staff is always nice here and happy to help you pick out a box of goodness to bribe anyone with.

In business since 1915, eh? They must have survived or selling more than donuts and cookies. It doesn’t seem to sell enough for such a large space. Very old looking, so lots of history. But I was hoping for breads, cakes, pies, you know, BAKERY stuff. Had a scone and cup of coffee (styrofoam cup, ugh). Scone was quite tasty. But I don’t know if I want to risk that dangerous cross walk again just to get to a donut shop; even with the pedestrian crosswalk those right-​turn-​on-​red cars don’t care if you’re in the crosswalk so be forewarned and fleet of foot!

The dexter bakery is a warm welcoming place. I got a vinalla cream chocolate doughnut it was the best doughnut ever and the best thing is that you can tell that there homemade. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars

Some of the best donuts in all of Michigan. Very friendly staff with a great selection of donuts. pastries and giant cookies. Their chocolate cake donut is killer. Get there early when the Ann Arbor Art festival is on to get the best selection.

Blew into the «Bakery» (as it is known in Dex-​Town) on a Saturday morning after a little cross country skiing at Hudson Mills. Got a killer whiff of the freshly baked goods inside as I walked through the door and straight into 1958. This place is like a time capsule. This is a thriving example of small town living that has done it right for years and refuses to change.
Cake donuts dressed up with real home-​made frosting under the glass of century-​old quarter-​sawn oak display cases… just like they did it in 1958. We are here today however, not for the donuts, but for the pretzels rolls filled with pepperoni and cheese… a snack-​sized treat known only to locals that will fix your craving for a trip to Papa Romano’s.
Four Yums.

I’ve lives in Dexter my entire life. There has been many different owners, the current are my favorite. Such a sweet woman. Try the pretzel sticks & the cream filled long johns, they are the best. The cakes are awesome when you order them. I think the ones on hand aren’t as good. I love the Dexter bakery!!!

Stopped here after church… I had only been here once. The smell of this place is enough to make you gain weight! I got a glazed doughnut for both my husband and myself. They were wonderful! Light and fluffy, but filling. Sweet, but not too sweet. It looked like they had any kind of doughnut you could imagine… Crullers, fritters, filled, not filled, fry cakes, glazed, chocolate, fruit, nuts, no nuts, etc…
They also have savory items. They offered pretzels sticks which looked outstanding! They also offered pretzel rolls with ham and cheese, and pepperoni and cheese. I bought a ham and cheese roll for my lunch and am looking foward to trying it.
It appears they offer home made decorated cakes…
Note, they only take cash. No debit or credit.

I’m a total doughnut snob. I’ve eaten at bakeries everywhere, even chain places, and I’ve never found doughnuts I like better. Perhaps I’m biased because I went to high school here and would often wait in the line on Tuesdays to bring in a dozen raised chocolate frosted doughnuts for my friends, but lets pretend I’m not. I wouldn’t say I like them if it weren’t true. The people who owned the bakery when I was in high school no longer own it, and the new owners have updated and repainted the building. The entire place is brighter, more open and very welcoming. But, very best part, the recipes haven’t changed. The doughnuts and pretzel sticks are the same they were ten years ago.
Also, they now make cakes and cake make literally anything you desire. It’s fantastic and everything is so yummy.
And now I want doughnuts.
Ps– cash only. Most items are $ 0.80 each.

Love their cream filled donus, seasonal donuts as well. Just remember they don’t accept credit cards — a serious blow when your co-​workers are expecting you to come back with a dozen ;)

On our way to Hell (literally, we were going to the little town of Hell, Michigan) we drove through Dexter and this was the only bakery on the way.
Afraid I would have to die starving I stocked up and got one of everything they had, the owner was pretty happy with me for this, I don’t think she has seen out of towners –Ever!
There was a group of kids there, it’s a big bakery and they seemed to be doing homework, guess it’s the town hang out.
It’s a really big bakery with a good selection and suprisingly not that cheap,
I paid over $ 20 for donuts and cookies, the best deal and as it turns out the best tasting was the day old muffins 2 for 1 with real cream cheese and raspberrys, those were amazing, also they make their own protein bars which were not bad.
The rest is average, not bad at all, descent cookies, donuts are fine, god even, but not worth the drive as there is nothing around the area at all, and I mean nothing!

What can I say other than – BEST GLAZED DOUGHNUTS EVER! Man, I DREAM about those things. If my wife is in bad mood for some reason, doughnuts from the Dexter Bakery are a sure way to start heading down a better path.
The other doughnuts are very good as well, but in my opinion nothing tops the glazed. Our family regularly drives the 20+ minutes to get some.
As a note, they are sold individually rather than by the ½ or dozen so don’t get caught up like I do and order twice as many as you can possible eat. And, yes, I have determined where that line is. :)
Also it is good to get there in the morning as they sometimes run out and only order what you will eat that day as the lovely nuggets of joy do go quickly stale.
One final note – AMAZING paczki during that time of year. That’s all they make for 2 – 3 days and they can’t keep them in stock. They are that good!
