Avalon has delicious pastries (chocolate croissant is divine), good coffee and savory treats (get the avocado toast!) for breakfast. Also enjoyed their simple but well-made Turkey sandwich for lunch. The savory focaccia was big enough to share! The bread is top notch and the customer service is too! Grab a cookie on your way out - they’re the best!

The coffee is good, the bakery is great! Free parking and seating out front. The ladies working behind the counter are the most pleasant people you will meet. Highly recommend this place!

Wonderful 100% organic breads and other baked goods. They also have excellent coffee and teas. They work hard to offer foods that promote good health. I gave them four stars because the parking is terrible at both locations.

Avalon has every baked good that you could possibly hope for, and everything from them is delicious. Highly recommend stopping in for a pastry or loaf of bread (or both!)

The Willis location in midtown is a favorite morning stop for me. The coffee is always good and the quiche is to DIE for! There are clips secured to the outside of the building to clip a leash to so I don’t have to worry about my dog while I go inside to order, and to top it all off the staff is super friendly! Definitely recommend this place.

Been coming here for almost 10 years and Im never ever disappointed. Brought my little sister with me today and got this beautiful and delicious avocado toast to go. Their tea and coffee is also amazing! Very respectful and reputable place to visit.

A nice, quaint Cafe to get a breakfast sandwich and/or pastries. I had the ALT (avocado, lettuce, tomato) sandwich with ham and it was very delicious! I also had the hot chai tea latte and it was very, very good. I definitely recommend this place.

The bacon egg and cheese biscuit was excellent. Good coffee, too. Fast friendly service and a dozen outdoor tables for those who are covid averse.

They do have signs up about being short staffed, and the staff was nice, but discovered we got the wrong order when we got home. Sticky bun was so burnt on the bottom we had to scrape around it. Will try again in better times

Mouth watering treats, fabulous coffee, and the staff is helpful. Love love love it

Friendly atmospheres and healthy breakfast 🍞 🍵

My daughter and granddaughter took me for breakfast sandwiches and coffee for a hidden dinner theyre great with the people

They have a tent with a heater set up outside. Food is delicious as always. The biscuit for the bacon, egg and cheese melts in your mouth!

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.

Very good food...fast service...very nice and polite staff....nice outdoor sitting...if you are in the area...stop by this place for something to eat they R open from 7am to 3pm...this place get 4.5 stars

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, youre not buying disgusting enriched bread packed with preservatives. Youre getting some legit bread man! The prices arent too steep, but they arent exactly cheap. Youre getting quality here. I love the rye personally, the chewy outer shell, and its soft and delicious interior has me hungry just thinking about it. Stop by if youre nearby and check it out, the smell might attract you regardless.

I simply love their cookies😋❤️

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.

Carrot cake and trail mix cookie were amazing especially if you like raisins. Did not like the peanut butter cookie, it was too dry for me. Monkey bread didnt have enough flavor, tasted mostly like plain bread.

Consistently delicious and high quality products.

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.

It was soo many flies in there.. I was so hungry I just said forget it.. got home & was so disappointed the food was terrible!

Great place for bakery and vegan options.

Vegan trail mix cookie was amazing - one of the best cookies Ive ever had.

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!

Let me start off with an O.M.G. the flourless chocolate cake was phenomenal! The coffee brownies are also a WOW! The Brioche pecan Julia Child cinnamon bun got an O.M.G. too! But all their savory items Ill pass on the broiche w/ham etc.(for the price to have something reheated I try to avoid). Parking can be tricky if you arrive during their peak hours to give enough time to find parking during those times. Their bread(for me) is phenomenal I enjoy the Pumpernickel, Rye(without seeds) and the rye marble, if youre expecting a fluffy light bread youll be sadly disappointed they use 100% organic flour for these and all breads but because rye is denser you end up with a bread a lil more denser that will keep you fuller longer, a very good artisan product!(just wish they had the bread available all the time or post in IG when they dont have items would be appreciated) Service was efficient and quick but the cashier was a lil more friendlier, the coffee I ordered(lrg latte) wasnt anything phenomenal or even the regular (American) coffee that you pump yourself out of thermal containers(for the price I would appreciate better, & freshly brewed coffee) the choices for regular coffee were only two, with such large choices of coffee around Detroit it would be nice if theyd step up their game in this area. Ill continue coming here(driving over 46miles one way) for the bread and sweets alone, but in off peak hours! LOL

Love this place especially when I work around the corner.l be needing my club sandwich fix

Ive been coming here for yearS and the reviews are always stellar because everything is just so good. They tend to raise the bar on every productIf its Christmas, get the stollen.. you can buy a mini one just to try itAnd ohhhh the rest: sticky pecan buns, morning buns (like a fancy, delicate round croissant pastry- so good!), the hand pies, (todays had egg and corned beef!), the biscuits...And I brought home the olive loaf and the cinnamon raisin bread!Order online and curbside pick up, especially if its a Saturday! Theyre so efficient. Just call when you get there and theyll bring it right out. (And youllSkip the line of people outside trying to space themselves)Photo of Avalon International Breads - Detroit, MI, United States. A wonderful hostess gift! It's stunningA wonderful hostess gift! Its stunning

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

Extremely friendly staff. Delicious lavender latte. The bakery is hit or miss for me.

Best biscuit breakfast sandwich you will ever eat.

I love the sea salt cookies!

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. 👌🏽 Highly recommend!

Wow! Ordered the Club Sandwich and I cant finish it 😊 ! Fast service and reasonable prices . Enjoy!

Amazing service.Need another barista to help her.

Two decades of comforting chai & pastries😋

Staff, Ambiance and servers 5 star

I get a message from Maps, How was Avalon Bakery? Well ...Avalon is frickin amazing! If I could give it more stars, I would stuff its yeasty pockets with stars, cover its focaccia ceiling and float stars in the coffee! Always stop, shop, and roll (get it... roll!) while you are nearby. Buy their bread in stores, and share the love with others. They have rocked it through the pandemic and are a rock 🌟

GREAT selection of vegan oatmeal cookies!! YUMMY!!😉

Great product from a place you want to support.

Excellent sandwiches and up beat staff, especially Bella!

Ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg and tomato. It was the worst avocado toast I’ve ever had. The bread was not toasted. The eggs was over easy, not poached. It had sliced cucumber which I didn’t care for. The avocado was not fresh. Was disappointed. Maybe it was because they were busy. I’d suggest going during a weekday.

As always, fantastic service and quality food. This was my second day in a row to pick up baked goods and lunch with a friend.*Currently, during the pandemic, they are limited to 4 people inside. Best bet is to order online and pickup. The orders are placed right inside on the right.*This was my first time trying the Vegan Willis Wich and it did not disappoint! Perfectly moist, flavorful sausage patty and sriracha mayo.My friend and I also split the Turkey Gouda Songs Butter Biscuit. If it sounds like a mouthful, it is! Its a really hearty biscuit sandwich and can easily be shared. The sweet apple butter pairs well with the turkey.Avalon is a stand-up business with core values and great relationship with the community!

The JAB breakfast sandwich is incredible. Great deals on day old bread.

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

The bacon, egg, and cheddar breakfast biscuit is.... amazing. Its hands down the best biscuit Ive ever had. The bacon broccoli quiche is also amazing. The crust is so buttery and flaky.The. Chocolate. CROISSANTS! The way they do flaky and buttery here is a resoundingly delicious theme throughout everything youll have here. Its the wonderfully balanced chocolate filling that blew me away. It was perfect. Perfect!

Great staff and delicious breads and pastries . Funky inside with lots of notes to read. My grand kids love the hot chocolate!!

I have loved Avalon since i lived on Alexandrine while attending Wayne State. Their white 313 bread is the yummiest soft white sandwich bread. Breakfast sandwiches on their biscuits are worth a morning stop. Finally....BRIOCHE!!!!I miss the days when I could cut through the alley and get coffee and a pastry every morning.

Just a neat place. Havent been here in a while. Got a scone and hot tea. Short wait time. Reasonable prices. Numerous other food items besides sweets.

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.

Good food. Parking available. Friendly staff.

Slow but great

Biscuit bacon and egg with provolone the biscuits are so good and yummy the staff is excellent friendly and kind.

The bacon egg and cheddar biscuit will absolutely RUIN all other breakfast sandwiches youve ever had from absolutely anywhere else!!!!And the quiche crust....😍! I could eat a bag of just the crispy ends of that crust.Great customer service and yummy chai lattes. I stop here whenever Im in the area.

If you go there in the morning, they have fresh baked goods that you can get with your coffee. They hit the nail on the head every time, seriously delicious baked goods and coffee.

Delicious vegan cookies; they have cranberries, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. They are so moist. They have other flavors of cookies too. They have different types of coffee and tea. They have sandwiches and fresh baked bread and other desserts.

Been coming to Avalon since its inception! On my many pedestrian haunts through the ever expanding Midtown, if found this little gem. I was once actually courted for a management position, but Im the morning person... I love Avalon, how its evolved during the years, the product is consistent. I enjoy the eclectic mix of patrons. The counter people know the regulars, its the meet-up spot and its like your kitchen, but you didnt make anything. They used to serve this wonderful Ethiopian tea...but, theyve stopped (wonder why...). Seating is a challenge on busy Saturday afternoons. They always have the bread that I like, even if theyve been slammed (win-win). music is always bumping, and you can sit and snap, or bob your head. Parking is quite a challenge, as you will circle the block trying to get a space....ugh

Great Coffee, Great environment, Delicious desserts.

Sweet treat heaven! I was passing by and had to stop. All the desserts looked amazing and I ended up taking everything that was matcha home with me that day to try! I was not disappointed.

I love the croissant and the bread.... it is so soft and fresh... love to be there every time for a weekend breakfast.

Ive loved this place for years. Some slight modifications during my last visit but all positive.

Their tuna and avocado toasts are theeeee best! Great variety of breads you won’t find anywhere else.

Artisan bread. old world style.delicious.

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

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

They have a good variety of breads but no one signature that wowed me. Hot breakfast sandwiches look good. Coffe station did not entice me to partake. Good for a stop in though. Easy to find. Good parking.

One of the most amazing little spots in Midtown Detroit! Their coffee is fresh and the food is great! They even had vegan options to cater to my dairy allergy! Highly recommend this place...

Very good. Enjoyed the bread and Pecan Roll.

Sandwiches were excellent and schmeared all over my pallette. The ALT....yummy. the turkey gouda apple butter....yummy. the bacon egg n cheese biscuit.....i dont know bcuz eggs grosse me out but my husband looked at it with love like ive never seen. (Jealous)

Picked up the cherry walnut bread, which is one of our favorites. No one does it better. Sat outside with coffee and my hsb had the avocado toast...very generous serving made fresh.

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit is unbelievable, especially with jam.

Really long lines, and you have to wait a while as your food sits until you get helped.

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. Its a little hidden so look sharp when you get near.

Good, but lines are big

Great croissants!

I would go here all the time if it was in my city!Great staff! Great Food! Great music! We loved it!

Expensive but great food.

A Detroit classic where youll chance upon the someones that are something in Detroit

LOVE THIS PLACEITS THE BEST...

Love the staff and location!

Lots of vegan options! Everyone in my party raved about their quiches.

The quiche was fabulous! Lemon, blueberry scone was buttering flaky, no lemon though.

Great selection of baked goods!

Great cup of coffee, service and staff! Cutting into the bread just now... Im sure itll be fifth star!

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.

Wanted something sweet, so I sopped by Avalon and purchased a peanut butter brownie. The brown was dry, chalky, and the peanut butter was gross. Avon use to be great, nowadays it is low quality with high prices. There are better places in town now!

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.

Excellent breads and baked goods , make sure you get there early for best selection as once it is sold out.... its out! my favourite is the vegan carrot cake it is absolutely delicious

Food is executed to perfection, staff is absolutely awesome! Will continue to come here for years to come!

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.

Ive been relying on Avalon for many of my breakfast, lunch, and random bread needs since moving to the neighborhood in 2015. While Ive always enjoyed the fresh and tasty food, the friendly staff, and the neighborhood vibe, Ive 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. Lets just say its one of the most incredible things Ive ever had. My apologies to Starbucks, Great Lakes, and Tim Hortons down the street, but I think this drink is the only coffee beverage I will ever consume again. A+ Avalon!

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.

Fresh, unique, tasty, breads and other bakery goodies!

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.

Very Wonderful Place Downtown that I Enjoy When Working In the Area... Tasty Foods, Delicious Coffee, and Awesome Cookies... Thank You Avalon... Ill Definitely Be Back... I Did some Work Next Door Up In the Studios Today, and I Purchased A Gift Card for Whenever Im Back In the Area... The Coffee was Awesome As Always and My Favorite Oatmeal Raisin Cookie was Fabulous... 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊

I love there vegan granola bar. Cozy spot. Best time to go is before 8AM when its 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.

Baked goods

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 arent vegans and that carrot cake was the best Ive had, hands down. Service was not very efficient, for us at least, but it was good.

Love love the food

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.
