We ordered a custom "dentist" themed birthday cake for my daughter, who is obviously a dentist. I had no specifics, other than, "be creative"! Well did they deliver!! It was awesome! Even the trimming was in the shape of toothbrushes! Totally delicious cake as well. Great coffee. And while I'm at it, great donuts!!! Love this place!!

I'd been wanting to get here for YEARS but always seemed to find myself in Dexter after they'd closed. Finally, after an early afternoon meeting in town, I was able to swing by and I was not disappointed! Donuts were the plan from the start and I got a dozen beauties. While I don't mind over the top donut flavors/toppings I have to admit my favorite is just a plain glazed yeasted donut. You know, light and airy and melts in your mouth. Dexter Bakery totally delivers on this front! I got three of them and hoarded them all for myself. My next favorite is once again, plain yeasted but this time dipped in chocolate. These were also great! I also got a couple of cream filled options, the maple glazed cinnamon roll donut, and a blueberry cake donut for the husband. Couldn't leave without some of their soft pretzel sticks, too! It was all excellent. In 2015 they turned 100 years young. I guess that makes them 109 this year! Quite an achievement in this day and age. Here's to 109 more years and beyond of delicious donuts and baked goods!

Their cheddar ham pretzels are incredible. The staff are always quick and nice. I love how close it is to my house too.

Getty to be trendy, this classic bakery still has the same wonderful sweet and Sabo baked goods. The stuffed pretzels can double as a light lunch: I particularly like the ham and cheese. Watch out for the young upcoming crowd mixed in with the legacy clients in this century's new Dexter.

Best donuts in Washtenaw county. Parking is tricky in the early morning. Can call ahead your dinner.

A friend told me about this little gem in the middle of quaint downtown Dexter. I was in town for a vet appointment just around the corner so tried it out. I had a ham and cheese pretzel ,a REAL simple raised donut and a cup of coffee. Kind of a strange combo, but wanted to try what they were famous for. Everything was delicious and obviously made right there. I also understand that their fritters and filled donuts are amazing...but really not a huge sticky donut fan so didn't try those. The staff is super friendly...and actually very politely asked an unmasked customer to wear a mask or he wouldn't be served again. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area !

Oh what a find this place is for a visitor! I was sad to discover the Dexter cider mill was closed on the day I was in town but I forgot all about that when I found the donuts here: Pumpkin spice, apple cider, and the cream filled and Yeasted?!? Omg! Amazing. I also bought the soft pretzel sticks and the date cookie. The date cookie was possibly my favorite cookie ever. Posting a pic here because I can't believe how good it is! Everyone who works here is so nice too.

DJ's in AA is usually our go-to, but we're starting to explore the B2B trail+Cornman Farms in this area & I am always a fan of stopping into local bakeries! After walking on the trail, we stopped by Dexter Bakery. We ordered 7 donuts and 2 pretzel sticks...for 2 people. Yes. We ate it all. The yeast-raised donuts are awesome here, but the unassuming Maple Twist is where it's at! It's a cinnamon yeast-raised donut with maple glaze. It basically tastes like a cinnamon roll but with the addictive texture of a fluffy yeast donut. These things are GIANT too! I'll be back on a morning bike ride to try to snag a pretzel roll!

There's nothing I love more than a good old-fashioned bakery. The Dexter Bakery is a place where locals gather, to eat a donut, grab a cup of coffee, and read the newspaper. It's also where blue collar workers fuel up for the day ahead. It's a gathering spot for students. It's a place for families to buy the kids a treat. It's clearly a neighborhood institution. But I'm not from the neighborhood. I'm an interloper who made the drive, parked in the free lot behind the building, and came in looking for some amazing yeast raised donuts. My standards for donuts are ridiculously high. However, if all you've ever eaten are donuts from a national chain, the ones at Dexter Bakery will be the best ones you've ever had. The chocolate icing is one of my favorite things there, because you can actually taste the cocoa. Amazingly, that's a rare thing in the donut world these days. The crumb of the yeast raised dough is fantastic. It's rich and has a pleasing elasticity. And the donuts are fried quite well. So far, the chocolate custard bismark is my favorite of the bunch. But I'm also a sucker for that flavor combination. The custard is one of the better versions I've found locally. People seem to love the pretzels and the apple fritters. I tried both the plain pretzel rods and the cheese stuffed pretzel roll, and wasn't feeling the love. But maybe that's what happens when you've spent years in Philly and New York eating crusty pretzels from street vendors. The apple fritter was quite good. I could see how it could become addictive as its texture is unique for the form, exhibiting the same richness and elasticity as the yeast raised donuts. But when all is said and done, I'd just rather have a chocolate custard bismark. Although the bismarks aren't cheap. For that matter, neither is gas. While I do enjoy my visits to the Dexter Bakery, I haven't quite found anything yet that's worth the drive just for the sweet treats alone. But if you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. That said, you're a local, you probably already know.
