Nobody does it better, nobody! Give Thanks has been Rochesters hidden gem for a number of years now. They have a large variety of unique and addictive breads. Youll swear thats someones Grandma is in the back making each loaf from scratch and preparing them by hand. My family are suckered for the Seeded Levan, the heavy Sour Dough and the dessert bread filled with homemade candied fries and currents. Then there are their amazing French and German pastries. Each one a photo worthy piece of art, that some tastes even better than they look. They also always have a selection of cakes and tortes that will be the talk of your next dinner party. I suggest you purchase an assortments of breads and goodies to take home with you, but then take the time to reward yourself with a cup of coffee and some sweet temptation at one of their little tea tables.

Yesterday at the store, shortly before noon: I purchased a half dozen dinner rolls and a loaf of cranberry walnut bread. Took them home and tried to have lunch. The dinner rolls had such a hard exterior and dry interior that I tested the remaining 5 and gave the rest to the trash. Moving on to the bread, the crust this time was like concrete. The interior tasted very good but getting at it required a rough saw blade. Dont misunderstand, I like a bread that you have to put some energy into ripping the roll apart but Id also like to keep my teeth. I stuck the bread in a plastic bag and it was a little better by morning. Ive eaten enough bread in European countries but never came across something that could be mistaken for part of the castle walls.

Beautiful local European bakery. The staff makes the customer feel special and greeted from the moment you walk in the door. The selection is wide and ambience is cozy. Id recommend the almond croissant, fresh fruit tart and the asiago cheese garlic bread. Everything is a must try at this place. The prices are budget friendly and quality is fresh. They will probably run out of stalk if you get there late which shows they only sell things made fresh early morning. I went in there first time and felt like Im like their most regular customers. Dont miss out on this hidden gem just because its easy to miss. Entrance is on the back of mainstream right across the parking lot. Ill definitely be a regular customer here now.

My wife and I love this place. Reminds me of my time in Europe eating French baguettes. If you go in the morning you will notice that they supply deserts and breads to many fine establishments around Metro Detroit that come by to pick up their food bags to serve in their restaurants. If you are in downtown Rochester on a cold day, I recommend that you stop by and get a nice coffee and desert.

I have eaten here many times and have never had anything that was short of exceptional! The staff is friendly, patient and welcoming. This place has quickly become my favorite place for a Saturday morning latte and fresh fruit tart. If youve never been, stop by and experience a little piece of Europe right here in Rochester, MI. You wont be disappointed!

Everything in there is very tasty. The place over all has a really nice personality. I had very positive experience with every worker in there. I actually ended up ordering my wedding cake from them and it was very tasty and I was treated with an extreme care along the way of my ordering process. The only con. - it is on an expensive side.

The best place for pastries and coffee. My co-worker and I take turns stopping here every Thursday. Jim and Jackie are the best. The almond croissants are amazing. Fridays they have chocolate croissants...omg.

Great local bakery. Be sure to order your Stollen for the holidays early! Great warm Ham&Cheese croissants! Very small, but everyone is nice and will make room for you to sit.

This is a hidden gem downtown. Incredible baked goods, and they offer catering for events. Great leadership and ownership, so a great local business to support.
