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!

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

This place is always busy for a reason- good atmosphere, friendly staff, spacious interior, delicious food and drinks! Coffee and tea/chai selection is good! pastries are tasty . There is a bar with stools and a large seating area with lots of tables. Wooden interior looks really cool. Avalon is only open till 3 pm, so it’s closing kinda early. Wish it was open longer! Will be coming back and check their other locations too

I had a breakfast for about 40 people on Sunday morning, 6/15/25, at Avalon/Jolly Pumpkin and it couldn't have gone better. The easy, low key, fun atmosphere was exactly what I hoped for and we lucked out with the weather because the outside area is also great. I ordered breakfast sandwiches, pastries, mixed greens and drinks from the catering menu and all were delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Even the mixed greens were extra good - made with a little spicy kick in the dressing. The general manager, Jason, worked with me on the planning. He was very helpful and accommodating. On the day of the event, Robert took care of everything and was friendly, kind, helpful and competent. This was true of the rest of the staff as well. I highly recommend them for an event, or just for everyday eating! Thank you!

Wow - I didn't know what to expect when coming here. From the outside, it looks like an old school bakery. From the inside, it's a hip cafe/restaurant with funky decor. It was packed on a Sunday at brunch time. Unfortunately, we weren't very hungry, but we ordered some fancy lattes. I ordered one that was themed for St. Patrick's Day. It looks like a cool spot, and it's been in the neighborhood for a while. Just don't let the outside fool you.

Absolutely love the original Avalon Bakery. It is everything I could ask for in a local patisserie and more. Pastries are always fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. Espresso bar is a huge plus, and I adore the additional pantry and kitchen items they sell. Bonus points for the lovely chalkboard menu art and seasonal decor within the bake shop. They’re really great with catering orders, and it’s a perfect destination for tourists and out-of-town friends. Never change, Avalon!

Keep in mind that this Avalon Bakery on Canfield has a smaller menu compared to the Downtown Detroit location. So there are not as many options. But the overall vibe and atmosphere is very nice and having outside seating options is very nice. The food is also really good. My friend and I got the Fried egg, bacon, and avocado sandwich(14.50) and a sea salt chocolate chip cookie. For Wayne State Students, on Wednesdays it’s 20% off.
