West Fenkell Bakery

Love this bakery. Bread is amazing. Cannolis are really good. I like a traditional cannoli and I wouldn't say these are traditional, but they are VERY good and I've tried many a cannoli in Michigan. These are my second favorite, rivaling only the Italian Bakery on 7 Mile (traditional.) You should try them! IMO, they are unique to this bakery, lighter than a traditional. They are not that cream/frosting type filling. Yum. The cookies are old school type bakery cookies, never tried the cakes. Pizza bread/roll is very good. Stay cool baker's and thank you for your hard work!

West Fenkell has new owners since the beginning of 2020 and they did an amazing job at keeping the original bread and pizza roll recipes that they are famous for. But what is even better, they have a ton of new cakes and pastries that are so scrumptious you will be craving it all the time! When the COVID crisis is over, there will be a line out the door for their treats!

Not satisfied with our order of a birthday cake. My significant other order a cake birthday for me with an Ethiopian theme inside cake, and outside frosting. The inside of the cake coloring order is incorrect, as well as the outside frosting with a red, white, and blue flowering finish. The instructions of how the we wanting the cake was given to the Baker themselves, and was agreed upon with both parties. When cake was shown at pickup it was accepted, but was ordered under short notice, and only wanting to have something for the big day. The bakery was notified of the mistake, we were told the baker was already gone and there was nothing that could be done. And apology was given, but we need our monies returned. The cake you can have back, the only reason it was cut, was to see if the cake was a total lost.

I am truly obsessed with this bakery! When I lived in Livonia, I saw them as an occasional treat. Now I live in Ferndale and I drive 20-30 mins just for their amazing baked goods. The staff at the store is beyond helpful with my dietary restrictions and making sure I can eat anything they recommend. Almost all of their bread is vegan and dairy-free, and all is clearly labeled so I can make non-dairy choices without them if need be! Today I got a delivery from a friend of mine who knows I broke my (driving) foot over the weekend and have been bummed being stuck in the house. She asked them about dairy free treats and I was amazed to learn they had carrot cake I could eat! Score! I am a little weary of shredded coconut...it's the texture for me.... but this cake is moist and soooo good! I would hardly know it was in there but it adds a nice flavor! The walnuts make it just right. I'm going to eat the whole thing before my husband can get home from work. My hubby stops there frequently enough that the bakers know him as the guy with the dairy free wife, and he raves about their pizza rolls! They will save some for you if you call ahead! Please don't buy them all or my husband will kill me for revealing his honey hole... So impressed with the staff and store there! I'm hoping more porch deliveries will come my way in the coming weeks!
