Dom Bakeries

My goal over the weekend was to try donuts from three of the highest recommended donut places in/near Ann Arbor and Dom Bakeries was one of my choices. We walked in after lunch and found a small line picking up some very delicious looking donuts. As with the other bakeries we visited, we picked up the classic glazed and a cream long john to have a direct comparison.

Glazed Donut ($1.50) - I found the dough in this yeast donut to be by far the heaviest and densest with the most chew of the three bakeries. It honestly feels kind of like a paczki - in fact, I'm sure some bakeries could claim this is a paczki (assuming you changed the shape and filled it). The glaze on the donut is thin and adheres to the dough the best, giving a lighter sweetness. The other side of the donut juts out and isn't the most aesthetically pleasing. The donut is fried well with a nice golden hue, with the middle having the requisite lighter colored dough stripe.

Cream Long John ($2.00) - As with the glazed, this long john has dense dough, but thanks to not being glazed, it has a bit of a crust on the exterior. The interior cream is fluffy and sweet. When I chewed down on the cream, it still had noticeable sugar crystals. The chocolate ganache on top is standard and works well with the donut.

Overall Dom Bakeries has the cheapest donuts but doesn't sacrifice quality. While I liked the donuts at one of the other bakeries more (making Dom rank 2 out of 3), Dom Bakeries is still a fantastic choice for scrumptious baked treats.

This place was recommended by my colleagues. I wanted to do something nice by getting some baked goods for the AM. We had a planned dessert shindig for the department during lunch, so I knew to get only a few items for my team of 3.

I woke up at 3:30AM PST to call to place my order. I couldn't place an order online though I saw the link the previous day. It would have made things a tad easier on me. Once I placed the order and paid, I texted my colleague so he can pickup and surprise my team w/ it.

My team said they really enjoyed the bagels and donuts. I also got 3 sides of cream cheese (not pictured). It's a small token of appreciation from me. This wasn't company sponsored, so my funds were quite limited. I have teams across 3 different time zones.

Service was friendly.

Maybe I will try this place when I travel to Ann Arbor next month.

This is my favorite of the independent bakeries in the area. The custard and cream chocolate frosted long johns, raspberry filled, lemon filled, and maple cake donuts were my favorite. I also tried apple cider, pumpkin, chocolate frosted, chocolate cake, and strawberry filled. Staff was friendly.
The only thing I did not like is that almost nothing was labeled. It doesn't seem to be very efficient to have to keep asking what flavors they have, especially with the cake donuts that kinda look the same. There was only a sign on the counter that listed the fruit filled donuts and the seasonal donuts.

This is seriously one of the best donut places I have ever been to. Located in the middle of nowhere between Detroit and Ann Arbor, had to make the stop after rave reviews all over.

Unassuming from the outside, this spot has even more basic interior with a side.ordering counter and some seating around the room. Decided on the Chocolate Iced Donut, Jelly Filled a donut, and a Banana Nut Muffin (altogether less than $5). The donuts are fantastic - perfectly doughy without being dense or overcooked. The icing is fresh and not grainy. The jelly filling is substantial, with tons of flavor. Even the muffin is soft and spongy somehow.

Staff here is really nice, despite questionable clientele. Worth a special trip over no matter where you are in this part of the state.

I'm not a huge donut fan but my son was crying for a donut and Dunkin' was out of the way so I stopped at Dom. I reluctantly ordered a red velvet donut, expecting a dry tasteless donut but was pleasantly surprised with a flavorful decadent donut! The donut was so good I returned the next day for more. This time same decadent donut! I understand why there is a line out the door . It is delicious!

The donuts were just an average donut to us. The building is pretty run down. Inside there is stoke all over the lobby areas, not sure if this is the norm. I wouldn't go out of the way to go to this bakery. But also wouldn't be opposed to stopping if we're passing by.

Ordered my birthday cake from them, so cute and delicious! (It's a korok from legend of Zelda BOTW) Exactly the cake I wanted! I got some donuts for my party while I was there and they were delicious! Recommend this place if you want amazing donuts and a delicious cake for any event.

This place is amazing! I looooove their buttercream frosting! It's literally the best ever. I tried the chocolate cake with buttercream in Dec 2022, and it was phenomenal. Rich and buttery and perfectly moist!
Saturday I enjoyed very delicious red velvet donut!
It really hit the spot. The red velvet was everything I could have hoped for, rich, decadent and velvety (as the name implies!)
Overall fantastic place for any bakery items your heart desires!
Reasonable pricing! Especially for quality !

This doughnut joint is legit cozy with vibes that make it the perfect spot. The smell of freshly baked yummy dough is everywhere, and the menu's got all kinds of flavors - from OG glazed to some wild creations. The staff's super chill, and the service is quick. It's basically the ideal spot to treat yourself to some sweet eats. They have a drive through. I'd give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 for the tasty treats and cool vibes.

Best bakery in the area, no question.

Has been my favorite spot for apple fritters and assorted donuts since I was like 10 years old.
