REVIEWS OF Avalon International Breads IN Michigan

Marc Jamison

I absolutely love this bakery. Authentic French breads and croissants and delicious coffees! It’s so relaxing to have a coffee and croissant and sit outside.

Kiara Di Paola

I was looking for a spot to grab my breakfast in Detroit and i found Avalon International breads. As i walked in i could smell the pizza and bread just baked. I tried the chocolate/blueberry scone that was good and the oatmilk latte was ok.

Bernard Brown

Very Wonderful Place Downtown that I Enjoy When Working In the Area... Tasty Food's, Delicious Coffee, and Awesome Cookies... Thank You Avalon... I'll Definitely Be Back... I Did some Work Next Door Up In the Studio's Today, and I Purchased A Gift Card for Whenever I'm Back In the Area... The Coffee was Awesome As Always and My Favorite Oatmeal Raisin Cookie was Fabulous...

Excellent selection of Detroit's finest coffees,pastries and more!

They have the best croissants check them out!!

Incredible selection of artisan breads and baked goods!

Darcy Miller

This is the kind of bakery where everything seems kind of dry, which some people like but isn't my favorite. The salted chocolate chip cookie was good, but it's a hard cookie (also not my favorite). Coffee was okay and foccacia pizza was good. I'll go back to try one of their sandwiches and maybe a loaf of bread.

Catreese Qualls

If you’re looking for a great cup of local blend, you’ve found it. Great artisan breads and pastries. My personal favorite, Willis Blend coffee.

Jean-François Vincent

Awesome place to start your mornings: great selection of pastries - all super good -, good coffee and friendly staff. Would gladly make it part of my morning routine!

Naomi McCrary

Everytime I come into town, I make a trip to Avalon to enjoy the taste of freshly baked organic bread and decadent sweet treats. Thank you for maintaining the beauty and freshness in the city of Detroit.

Susan Morgan

Great place with wonderful staff. Get the bread for the week and brunch after service. Plus crowd watching is good here too! Outside chairs and birds to share with... highly recommended experience.

Glauber Cabral

This is the best bakery in Detroit. They have a ton of fresh breads and cookies. They all made with organic flour and they are delicious. The also have sandwiches to go and coffee from Great Lakes Coffee. Their customers service is really good. I really recommend this place.

Tulika Saxena

The bakery claimed to be the third best in Detroit.. I guess it's good for the dessert items and baked sweets. I enjoyed the sea salt choco chip cookie and the flour less chocolate cake was amazing. Was not very impressed with the spinach and cheese brioche and the quiche tasted more like scrambled egg with a not so crispy exterior. This place will be good if you are craving for cookies or something sweet. Their bread assortment was also decent..

Sascha M

Great for baked goods, breakfast, lunch and drinks. Cozy, welcoming spot.

Joe Paletta

If you're into that overpriced hipster stuff this is the place to be.. if you like good breads and desserts this is the place to be.. if you need somewhere to sit- don't come here... more of a carry-out place.

Victoria Ragland

They have the best everything❤❤❤

Monica Marie Jones

Great spot to meet and eat. I love the vegan options. Parking is not always the best, but the atmosphere and food are great.

Iman Alharbi

I love coming here as it offers fresh food, nice staff, and wonderful environment. The only problem this time is that there was a sax player who was very good but extremely loud, to the point of not being able to purchase anything to munch on inside. Second problem, no Pol Town Rye left despite getting there before 11. I actually drive to this side of town for this place but will reconsider in the future.

Tess Parr

I love there vegan granola bar. Cozy spot. Best time to go is before 8AM when it's quiet. Can get pretty busy and get lines. The coffee is okay, with a good variety of options. They sell local goods. I like that you can grab a sandwich or salad premade, that you know will be good, and go.

Christy R

Everything is fabulous here. Food, drink, atmosphere. Go!

Mark Hakim

So much to try. Soooooo delicious

Teusdae Bradley

Woman owned and delicious

Joel Blondy

Food was pretty good. Service was kind of slow. I would definitely go with one of the made to order sandwiches over the pre made stuff. The pre made spinach pastry was cold and a little stale. The lumberjack was awesome!

Robert Parrish

A great place to stop when in the neighborhood. Coffee is good, baked goods and bread are excellent. Staff is always warm. Prices are higher than average, but you get what you pay for.

Jacob Salhaney

Best bread for the best price. Sandwiches are amazing but a little pricey

nicholas james

I think this bakery is in a good location. With great baked goods

Sydney Spaw

I love Avalon! I went there frequently during an internship I had in Detroit and the staff are very friendly, the pastries are great, and the espresso is delicious! If you haven’t been there I highly recommend trying their focaccia pizza, it is really good!

Gretta Abu-Isa

Outstanding food, beverages, breads, and desserts!

James Finn

Wonderful fresh baked breads. I eat a couple baguettes a week. The American-style loaves are excellent too. Stop my early on a Saturday morning to pick up freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Unbelievably good weekend treat.

Sam Liveson

The bread's great but I've consistently found the coffee weak. The brand is Mighty Good Coffee, which should be awesome, but they need to add more beans to the roast.

Namaste Williams

Very good, if you get there before they stop making sandwiches. Good in general. The staff is delightful.

Atieno Nyarkasagam

Avalons is a nice place to warm up in the winter, n meet a lot of culture creators n Detroit -Afrikan philosophers and munch on warm breads n pastries

Connie McCullough

This is a cute quaint bakery and cafe. Amazing hot chocolate made with real chocolate right before you. The vegan carrot cake is the best carrot cake I have ever had. They have many baked items and gift items. This is a charming place to hang with friends.

Al Tusek

Amazing bakery! From organic artisan breads to awesome sweet pies and cookies. Coffee to salads all in a great up and coming location.

Erin

Very accommodating, friendly people. Baked goods were delicious. A very nice aside stop during our tour.

Todd Scott

It's always a fun, feel good experience walking into Avalon. There are so many good food options to choose from. You can't beat sitting outside and enjoying a peanut butter brownie with a coffee in cool weather. While they've added other locations, this one remains special.

Eric Malcolm

Great food as always! We ordered catered lunch for a conference, 150 bag lunches and salads. We had a variety of choices and everyone loved them!

Timothy Mahoney

Awesome place , love it!!

vincent frattacci

Food awesome people awesome

michael c

Terrific assortment of breads and coffees, a tad pricey but well worth the quality

Pat Frantz

Fresh bread, sandwiches, monkey bread, tea, coffee. Tables outside and in doors. Small place but great for a cup of coffee and snack

Nicholas Tapler

Avalon Bakery has the most wonderful products, and it is staffed by great people. When you take your first bite of anything they make, you immediately recognize that it is concocted of quality ingredients. That is why some of the best local restaurants use their products.

Lance Nichols

Great customer service

Francis Ford Sr.

Good, fresh food. Atmosphere and customer service was great. We will be coming back soon

MaryAnn Herold

Always helpful and excellent products ( especially sticky cinamon rolls with nuts)

Erin Bell

My favorite place to eat lunch on WSU's campus. Good veggie and vegan choices. Staff is polite and engaging. Can find a variety of day old breads and rolls that are priced to sell. Can get crowded-limited seating.

Cindy U

Everything is delicious - from sandwiches to baked goods.

John Milan

Great bread and a fantastic source 4 top-notch baked goods in the Wayne State campus Midtown area. Always a pleasure to go into their location with a sense of discovery for the many delicious items they carry

Antonio Esposito

My favorite place to pickup bread, get a hearty breakfast sandwich or nab one of their amazing foccacia. You also can't be upset with a company that truly executes a triple bottom line and gives back to the community

R Smith

The Vegan sandwich is Delicious

Mythchef Mike

great stuff,from pastries to pizza

hank fournier

As a college student and a bread lover this is a great place to get a loaf of bread my favorite is the farm bread it has more of a sourdough taste with a more rustic crust that makes great for toast and sandwiches. Also tried the cinnamon scone for the first time it's very good light and flaky but has just the amount of sweetness you need.

V Lapinski

Bought the World's Best Olive Bread this morning at the Eastern Market! Try this one; it's fabulous.

AJ

Parking is Detroit....hit or miss. If there aren't any spaces right in front, forget about it. Pastries are always fresh and delicious. Breakfast sandwiches are always on point, some with egg and cheese and a roasted veggie full vegan option. Coffee is just okay to me, I always order latte but sometimes there's no hazelnut syrup and they only offer almond or soy milk. Sometimes the coffee is just a bit bitter. It's a good spot to pick up a quick lunch with nice salad and sandwich options in the fridge.

Nicole Zolofra

Everyone raves about the sea salt chocolate chip cookies and they are absolutely wonderful BUT the pecan chocolate chip is where it's at! Can't go wrong with avocado toast or any of their sandwiches. My daughter's love the baked goods and I know it's made w quality ingredients.

Chenchen Cornblatt

This place unfortunately does not live up to its hype. The bread was alright. Do not get me wrong. It was fresh, just definitely not five-star that I would brag about when I returned home. It was already very packed 9 am in the morning, so do not even try to find a table.

DeAndre Johnson

Quality baked goods, great coffee and awesome service, FYI parking is scarce.

Michael Timofeev

Great, industrial place! Solid coffee from realespresso machine. Good breakfast bites.

Zachary Gabet

Love the vibe of this place. Coffee and food have exceeded expectations. Had a roast turkey sandwich w pimento cheese that was delicious. I could just sit here and enjoy the smell of everything. Plan to try a pastry or cookie.

Daniel Wolford

Great place for pastries, I am also a huge fan of their breakfast sandwiches

Robert Thorne

Great variety of breads, baked goods, sandwiches. Go early for best selection. Plus. Coffee....

Peter Shillingford

Got to luv Avalon. It is, however, ruinous to your waistline.

Adam Woodson

Amazing vegan veggie sandwich. Had three

Roni Leibovitch

Excellent selection of vegan and vegetarian treats & baked goods. A Midtown favorite.

Boujee Nurse

They carry the best coffee Ive ever had.

Enid Munoz

We had two breakfast items and two pastries. The breakfast items are small portions but they are filling! We had a vegan carrot cake piece and vegan monkey bread muffin. Both were delicious. We aren't vegans and that carrot cake was the best I've had, hands down. Service was not very efficient, for us at least, but it was good.

Byce Evergreen

Great diversity of baked goods and coffee. New things regularly!☕

Chet Shire

Great selection of baked goods, sandwiches, salads, soups. Good coffee and a fun, warm atmosphere. A Detroit Cass Corridor anchor.

Dawaune Hayes

Avalon was the first place I stopped to eat in Detroit and from the moment I stepped out of the rain, I was in love. There is an amazing array of baked goods ranging from sweet to savory. My first visit I got a focaccia and blueberry creme brioche roll. Both were absolutely delicious! My second visit I got the veggie quiche, coffee cake, and a coffee. All of which I thoroughly enjoyed. The quiche was perfect.

Denita Parrish

Love, love love! Fresh and tasty baked goods. The chocolate sea salt cookies are delisous.

Scott Grenerth

Oh my goodness to they know how to make fantastic baked goods here! A terrific selection from very healthy to very decadent and everything in between. Coffee tea and more as well. You can also find them at the Eastern Market.

Mark Sweetman

Great breads. Even better coffee.

C B

Wonderful artisian breads and sweets. Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Great people.

Rich Evans

You won't be disappointed with anything you buy here! Delicious!!

Jakub Gibczynski

Love their baked goods. Their bread selection is incredible. Buy 1 get 1 free after 5 pm also great deals on one day old pb&j sandwiches if. They did not run out. Also some great coffee if you have some time.

Kim May

You will always find great food, bread, and cookies here...

Kenneth Dailey

Good variety of baked goods. Good service. Tasty treats. Coffee and breakfast options available. Good food.

Anita Paylor

Pastry and breads are wonderful by not worth the snobbery of the cashier.

Nancy Presnell

I am a regular at the Avalon...it's their sour dough bread that entices me every two weeks. It's fabulous!! The crust has just the right crunch. Makes fabulous toast, and the best French toast. Oh yeah! When I am there for the bread, I indulge my chocolate fancy with a chocolate croissant, and warm it please...yumminess!

Shanny C

Great coffee & pastries! Laid back vibe!

Jaquetta Lee

Beautiful culture and food here

Lynn Dombrowski

I ordered the chocolate cake based on a recommenfation from one of the workers. It was super delightful.

Jon Thornton

Avalon has the best bread in town. If I am having dinner at a friend or date's home for dinner I always ask if I can bring a loaf of really good bread. There other baked goods are also very good. I'm a bit partial to their chocolate chip/chunk cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies. They also have a good selection of vegan options.

Stefanie Alston

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The sandwiches are awesome! Everyone is always so nice and patient.

Cecelia Sharpe

Avalon has been a staple in my life for over 15 years! I've watched Avalon evolve and grow, they always work toward making the best and achieving in doing so. Great baked goods, local products, and service.

Ida de Boer

Very nice staff and very good coffee!

Miriam MosleyHughes

Good atmosphere, nice selection of baked goods & breakfast sandwiches, outdoor eating available

Kimberly Paul

I've been relying on Avalon for many of my breakfast, lunch, and random bread needs since moving to the neighborhood in 2015. While I've always enjoyed the fresh and tasty food, the friendly staff, and the neighborhood vibe, I've never been moved to write a review until this morning. I tried the house made vanilla syrup for the first time in an iced latte. Let's just say it's one of the most incredible things I've ever had. My apologies to Starbucks, Great Lakes, and Tim Horton's down the street, but I think this drink is the only coffee beverage I will ever consume again. A+ Avalon!

TheGhettofinger

Yumm

Vladimir Sheftelyevich

Pretty good coffee. Great pain au chocolat.

Michael Peters

I love this place. Their sandwiches in the fridge are great, they focus on good organic ingredients and though some things are very expensive plenty of what they offer is reasonably priced. They also usually offer free water, sometimes with cucumber, which is very classy. Check this place out!

clifton curry

What a great bakery! Excellent service too...

Thomas Evans

Been a fan of Avalon for years. While I like almost everything they have, my real passion is a chocolate-cherry cookie. If you are lucky enough to see them when you are there...try one! My only criticism is they seem a little expensive. Hard to put a price on quality however and it didn't stop me from going home with cookies and bread.

Sherwood Harris

Open early at 6 am cold sandwich available and fresh hot coffee open 7 days a week

Nathan Kempinski

Good food, pretty good price,but a little slow making hot food. Overall good place.

Denise Bauer

The cappuccino I had was exceptional. I could eat the lemon blueberry pastries all day long. Staff is very friendly, everyone looked like they enjoyed working here. A few sandwiches offered on the menu, potentially a soup? Some seating inside, outdoor seating weather permitting. Can sit outside with doggies.

Jacob Ball

Amazing bakery and coffee shop committed to their community and preparing bread the classic way. One of the essential places to visit in Cass Corridor.

Deshaun Lambert

The people I worked with were amazing but the company owner and higher ups were horrible. They kept telling me to change my personality. When giving them my thoughts on how to fix things at the store or make things look better my ideas were ignored and never seen through. Hours for work were never consistent, got hired as full time and worked part time. When I would go to HR with my problems they took forever to answer or had attitude in giving a response. The worst thing that happened while working there, one random day they told me we are laying you off due to not having the funds to pay their employees. (Last one hired first one fired) They told me I had 3 days to find another job!!! WHAT 3 DAYS!!!! who does this to anyone.... Mind we had a building issue and was out of work for 2 or 3 months and all they offered was unemployment (which was not even a quarter of my check) I stayed with the company through all that and then they screwed me over!!! After leaving, I walk into the store a few weeks after and see they hired other people!!!! What???? You just didn't have money to pay me.?? 3-4 new people!!!?? Overall the customers are great and someone of the coworkers were amazing people to be around but the company as a whole was horrible and I WOULD NOT consider working for them... especially if you want a consistent and guaranteed check or job.

Mark Tremel

Manna. This place is heaven. Fresh baked bread, coffee, tea, dessert, lots of local products and love here. We bought fresh bread and day old and both were delicious. We need to go back to sample all the desserts, but I loved the European feel to the place. It's a little hidden so look sharp when you get near.

Mitch Cunningham

It’s possible I have an obsession with this place, but I’m choosing to believe that it is a healthy obsession. So many delicious options (including vegan options) for baked goods, coffee, and other tasty morsels. If it goes longer than a week and I haven’t visited Avalon, please send help.

Cheyenne Bryant

The Flo Sandwich is soooo yummy !!

Arthur Gabhart

I've known the real owners since before and my friend Atibha works there

Katherine Hammond

Don't miss this Detroit landmark bakery. The area wouldn't have become what it is now without the entrepreneurial attitude that started and maintains this essential quality establishment

Tim Aepelbacher

Ordered a coffee. They gave me an Americano. I asked what an americano was and he said a shot of espresso and boiling water. I said thanks but I ordered a coffee. He wouldn't give me the coffee I ordered. Now I am drinking something that tastes like a shot of espresso poured into a cup of hot water. Gross. He could of cooperated, but he didn't, now you get a bad review. :/

Bilbo Saggins

I come here for the breads, you cannot best their fresh and moist delicacies. The texture and taste beat out supermarket breads any day of the week. The breads here are all made with quality ingredients, you're not buying disgusting "enriched" bread packed with preservatives. You're getting some legit bread man! The prices aren't too steep, but they aren't exactly cheap. You're getting quality here. I love the rye personally, the chewy outer shell, and it's soft and delicious interior has me hungry just thinking about it. Stop by if you're nearby and check it out, the smell might attract you regardless.

Lana Slaby

Always great food, but not much by way of seating. Better for to-go lunch.

G K

I recommend paying attention to the people working the kitchen on Sunday morning, they are back there hustling—calling out orders, making sure everything is correct, and getting the people fed. Thankful for the back of the house at Avalon!

Pat Vassel

Love going there for the scones...but...parking could be better

Angela Espinosa-Gould

The vegan oatmeal cookies are the best cookies I've ever had! And I'm not vegan!

Valerie williams-Smith

Enjoy the atmosphere. Friendly staff. Great Breads and pastries.

Jesse Brown

Great place to grab a quick snack or sit down outdoors on a nice day with an espresso.

Mike

Happy place. Great atmosphere

Lucas Zoll

Prime baked goods and coffee. Vegans options!

Tareq Ghazal

I love there products and services.

Charles & Tamara Johns

Nice people who aleays has a smile for you and provides great customer service. The chocolate cake is awesome. I have had several of their breakfast sandwich and the J.A.B. sandwich is my favorite. My wife enjoys the Veggie Fritata.

John Armstrong

Ambience is bright and comfortable.

Joyce Gamage

I love Avalon the baked goods are delicious the staff is friendly I highly recommend a visit

Spencer Cussen

Prepare to wait in line for at least half an hour. We go here all the time, and the way they run their line is extremely inefficient. Great coffee, great food, but even if theres only 4 people in line prepare to wait a very long time.

Uta Bassey

DElicious! Very filling and tasty! Avocado Bacon Sandwich bonus boiled Egg

Ana Roca

This place is very good , unfortunately don’t you dare try and get a fresh sandwich (aka their amazing blt )before their ridiculous cut off time 2pm for a place that stays open till 6 you’d think they wouldn’t mind making a good sandwich around lunch time . I’m not sure who would make that rule .

Al Jolson

Phenomenal for breakfast/pastries with friendly staff

Laura Johnson

This has got to be one of the best bakeries ever. The place is open and inviting everything is fresh and home made. This is an overall feel good place. The aromas, the people, the prices are great. I usually get the plain or pecan sticky buns and the homemade pot pies that would bring tears to your eyes.

Hassan Beydoun

Great place

Michael Me

Best bakery in Detroit for breads, sweets or even sandwiches. Good cold brew and coffee as well. Look no further for baked good in Detroit.

Bobby Grey

Always a great spot to grab a cup of tea or coffee and the sea salt or chocolate chunk cookies are very good too. Very friendly & kind staff they treat you with much respect and make you feel better than at home

Lindsay Boeckl

You pay high prices for high quality food. It's not all fun and bread however. Often I get a salad for lunch from their on-the-go fridge. They also sell La Croix by the can, so, customer for life right here.

Denise W

Good treats, friendly people.

Hannah Slabaugh

I love Avalon - it's got wonderful bread, baked goods, and sandwiches (made with none other than their homemade bread!). The atmosphere of this place is so friendly and down-to-earth, and you can tell that the employees are valued and enjoy working there. Their slogan, "eat well and do good," shows!

Sarah Gawel

A nice spot to sip coffee or tea and enjoy a gently sweet treat.

Tom Burgess

Good variety, great products.

Jacob Graham

The croissants here are perfect, and Avalon has the best bread I've ever had outside of France! Great location and a tremendous asset to the neighbourhood, they open early enough that they're a regular stop for us in the mornings!

Neil Kane

Waited 20 minutes only to find out no one had made my sandwich. Asked for my money back and left.

Kel Green

Always super busy, good carrot cake; kinda meh on the peach raspberry pie. Friendly staff.

Vanda Ametlli

The cookies are the best! The service is exceptional as well!
