Best Places To Buy Cookies In Metro Detroit

Astoria can be found in both Royal Oak and downtown Detroit, and it has a great selection of pastries and desserts. It opened in 1971, and its black and white cookies continue to be very popular among its customers. Make sure to check out its chocolate chunk cookies, apricot cookies and Michigan cherry cookies, when in season. Parking is available nearby on the street as well as in structures.

You can find Bartz Bakery close to the intersection of Telegraph and Ford Road. Bartz is a family-owned bakery. Try its Swedish dream cookie or perhaps one of the tulip cookies, which are very popular. The shop also sells donuts, rolls, cakes, bagels, cupcakes and more baked goods; it even has specialty ethnic cookies like kolachky (a Czech specialty that looks like cannoli, but with fruit inside). The bakery is open 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day except Sunday.

Apple Annie's has several locations: this one (Clinton Twp.) and one in Roseville, as well as a sister store, Friar Tuck's, in Warren. The store is a restaurant plus a bakery and has a wide variety of cookies, including low-calories treats for those who are trying to diet (reduced-fat and sugar-free cookies). The restaurant is also very well-known for its soup, as it was voted Top 5 in Michigan for two years in a row. So it might be worth picking up a cup for lunch or dinner with your dessert. The restaurant and bakery is open every day of the week from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

You can find Eskimo Jack's inside The Bagel Factory on 12 Mile near Telegraph. Ice cream fans can rejoice because the store sells ice cream cookie sandwiches, which make for a great treat in the summer (or really anytime, if you love ice cream!). Josh Charlip, the founder and president of Eskimo Jack's, started the store because he was "obsessed with cookies" while growing up, and wanted to "rid the world of cardboard cookies and flavorless ice cream." If you just want regular cookies, the store has that too, with flavors ranging from double chocolate with peanut butter chips to white chocolate and dried cherries. But they also make your more standard chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and more. The store offers party rentals (party carts and its ice cream truck) if you're in need for an occasion.

Jennifer (Jenn) Groh bakes cookies out of her house in Berkley, and all of her desserts are personally baked and decorated.
