April's Famous Bakes — Restaurant in Waterford Township

This place had a pretty small selection for a bake shop (Lemon bars, Strawberry Shortcake bars, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered marshmallows, six different ice cream flavors, chocolate brownies, cookies, shakes, sodas, and peach cobbler.) I am used to walking in to shops like Astoria which have more desserts than I could care to count, but this is understandable since they are a small, new business. They have a little picnic table inside, and the decor is very cute. The lemon bar looked absolutely delicious, and so I asked for one. The man helping me said that they had been out for a week and that he wouldn't serve them to me, but that he had made new ones, but they weren't ready yet. This put me off a bit, hence the 4-star instead of 5. Why have an item out if you can't serve it? He said the same thing about the strawberry shortcake bars, and now I wonder how many items in the display suffer the same fate. If you won't serve it, why not take it off the display? I asked about more popular dishes and he pointed me towards the fridge and mentioned the peach cobbler, along with some shakes. I purchased the peach cobbler, had a bit of small talk, and went home. As I dug in to my dessert at home, I noticed it tasted a bit off. Not sure if it was old as well, or if I am just being picky. Maybe I'll be back in a few months to see if things improve, but right now I don't...

My kids and I just tried this awesome bakery! We can decide on one thing so we decided to try the brownie, and chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, strawberry jammer, chocolate toffee, peanut butter cookies! My son absolutely loved the chocolate chip cookie until he tried the snickerdoodle, at which point he bemoaned the fact that we didn't buy more of those! My daughter decided that the brownie was the best one she had ever tasted in her life (I wasn't insulted lol). My personal favorite was the chocolate toffee, which was a close second for my daughter as well :-) we will definitely be coming back whenever we're...

Work nearby and decided to visit after seeing an article that was posted after a visit from my boss, The Oakland County Treasurer. The shop is cute and quaint. I ordered a mini pound cake that was good and reasonably priced but I had to wait a while for icing which taste good but took quite a while to get. Also ordered a oatmeal raisin cookie that wasn't the freshest. I am looking forward to going back just for the pound cake alone. Look forward to giving the shop another try. Hopefully I get in and out of the shop quicker on my next...
