Sheila’s Bakery

Great find, very different, freshly baked items reasonably priced and large. So much to experience, I will return, I already had request for the cake and chocolate muffins. The whole cakes are beautiful and look amazing!

It's disgusting, the bread here always tastes like floor disinfectant and soap. Seriously, be more careful because today the bread was disgusting and it's awful that you don't pay attention to this. I told you months ago that the bread had a strange taste. and they told me that then I should buy somewhere else and I think it's not about that, today I bought bread again since I live nearby and the other bakeries are too far away and again the bread tastes like floor disinfectant and this time I decided post my experience

They make you feel uncomfortable if you're not Hispanic staring at you for starters next is I'm eating a tres leches cake and as im chewing something pokes the top of my mouth why is there a little piece of wood in my cake tighten up now 👎🏽👎🏽

Pastries were very fresh and tasty. Very busy with many locals, so you can tell it's good. However, there were a couple flies in the cabinets. But, it was summer and the door was constantly opening and closing. The rest of the building was quite clean.

I asked if the design that I wanted was realistic, I was told that they could make it very similar. Not only did they use cheap fake flowers, but the design gave it an under the sea theme vibe. I was very disappointed.

Sheila's is another one of the very good neighborhood bakeries in Mexican Town. It is compact, with a great selection. Be prepared to stand in line occasionally, Sheila's is popular.

Can’t get enough of this place their tres leches cakes are to die for!!! Many different cakes, flavors and that have many other delicious treats for everyone in your group. We’re known for bringing a tres leches cake for every gathering and everyone looks forward to it. I wish I lived closer! Theres also a location in Pontiac.

My girlfriend took me here for the first time and it was amazing. First, my favourite dessert is flan, and I definitely reccomend their's. The cakes looked delicious and the place overall was colourful. I like the idea of serving yourself. It was bad because I couldn't stop myself from trying and loading up on more bread. Nice place and employees. Good place to shop for authentic Mexican breads and some desserts.

I barely ever explored this part of town, and weirdly, I was working on an assignment when I came across this bakery. I'm surprised by how beautifully organized it is. When you walk in, you're immediately greeted by a short stretch of glass-doored refrigerators filled with dozens of beautiful cakes; some have customized decorated, some templates. On your left is a self-serve coffee area. However, you have yet to see anything. Walk inside, and you'll find a galore of sweets and baked goods. You will discover another glass-doored refrigerator with shelves fully stocked with colorful puddings (the solid kind made with agar or gelatin, not the custard-like), flans, and arroz con leche (rice puddings). Then at the back were glass-doored shelves loaded with pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread). It wasn't until I visited this store that I learned more about pan dulce, and I was amazed by how it's an entirely different world of dessert and baking to explore. In my excuse, I bought three different pans, claiming it was part of my work-related experiment for the experience, and arroz con leche (cause rice pudding is one of my favorite desserts). First, looking at each bread's sturdiness and shine, I assume a ton of butter goes into the dough. They have a thicker, almost flakier texture than the airy bread I usually get from Asian bakeries. But compared to European bakeries, they are way sweeter and more buttery, although not greasy. I had fun trying all three because I bought them without knowing what they're called or what's filling, and I just googled it while I munched. The first one was a pumpkin empanada. This was my favorite of the three that I tried, as it was not too heavy. The size was decent, too (most of them are HUGE). The pumpkin filling could have been more sweet, smooth, and nicely spiced with cinnamon. I couldn't identify the second bread I tried, but I got it thinking it was healthier as it was sprinkled with oat flakes and visually had a grainier texture. How wrong was I? It was heavily filled with milk-based thick cream. The milk strong was way too strong; I couldn't finish it. The third one, I think, was Barquillos, a cone-shaped bread loaded with vanilla custard. I love how it was not dusted with sugar or glazed with anything, as the custard was sweet already. It was quite an indulgent bread to have. The rice pudding was really sweet, but I love rice pudding. Food presentation was fantastic. Price-wise, it's cheap. For all these large pieces of bread and a generous cup of rice pudding, I paid less than $8. However, after tasting the amount of sugar and butter that goes into it, I strongly recommend eating it in moderation.

I got a cake from there and It wasn't a full cake. I paid $44 in the whole bottom was gone, they didn't level it and I told them what's wrong. They said there's nothing they could do about it like, Bad customer service so sad, never going there again!

The best mexican bakery selection in southwest with some of the cheapest prices. Roughly 7 dollars for 5 pastries. All were fresh and tasty

Pan is good asf and I also love Jose because he sells us in siege and warzone unc fr hop on warzone Jose

There prices went up to much they are crazy way to expensive now better Go to other places like Mexicantown bakery

I have been here many times mainly because we buy our conchas and other bread here. They have grown to have a little restaurant inside also. We tried it today and it did not disappoint. The Spanish torta was great my wife had the flouta dinner . Daughter had the burrito and son had 2 tacos. Even though it is quite a drive still great food .

Very bad Customer service I was quoted a price for a cake on Wednesday and said. I will be back saturday to put the money down and pay for it. When I walked in there today the cake went from $150.0 dollars. to they wanted $220.00 for the cake ,then the cupcakes I was told $1.50 to $2.50. I said this is not what I was Quoted!!! This is not fair. Even after showing her text messages. that I had with the young lady and the Baker. On wednesday she stil Insinuated I was lying. I asked to speak to the manager. She said he couldn't come out to speak to me That this was his price. I said, could you please go back inside and explain to him This is what was quoted to me, She then looked at me and said. Why didn't you pay for it on wednesday. I told the young lady That I would be back in saturday morning to pay for it.. I felt like the lady was being very snooty., And the whole experience was very unprofessional. I was so upset it made me sick to my stomach. With that being said, I left there and went to Mexican town bakery where I was treated with respect., Was able to get a 2 tear cake. In cupcakes For a great price.. I do not recommend this bakery for anyone.. It really made so much stress on me smh

Food is good but they need people that understands and can speak English properly. I ordered a shrimp quesadilla. She gave me steak instead. When I called up there they said I could bring it back and I had to pay an additional $2 for the shrimp quesadilla that I originally wanted. How am I being charged this and the lady that took my order could barely speak English messed up? Need to do better and understand customer serv

Terrible place. My friend bought a cake here for my wife and I for a gender reveal. Cake was supposed to have blue frosting inside for the gender and the cake literally had no frosting. Gender reveal was ruined because of this. When we tried getting our money back they said they couldn't because we didn't call that same day. Terrible customer service because I guess they expected us to stop our party to get a new cake and call them. Never coming here again.

One of my favorite places as an AFRO Latina. I love the ambiance, the desserts, and the options. I also appreciate outside and being able to eat authentic foods by locals. SW is alive. Grab a tray and ¡Comamos¡

Oh man! I didn't know this place existed until I began expanding my search for Mexican food in the area. I passed the building and decided to check it out. I was so pleased by this bakery and have returned numerous times excitedly pointing it out to friends. Everything is good. But i really like the little pineapple cakes, the chocolate dipped elephant ears, the flan, the tres leche cake, the candied pumpkin slices...everything. Nothing is overly sweet which is great. The large variety is also fantastic. I am so grateful for Sheila's Bakery. And it's so inexpensive! What a great place!

Pastries & cookies were fresh, colorful and taste great! Thanks for helping us celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month!

Let me tell you this upfront - this place is located in a really really shady neighborhood. I was scared to death when I looked around, but none of those things could dampen my spirit for search of a good tres leches cake. Similar to the one I had in California. So, I find this place, great reviews and honestly never researched about the neighborhood but that's another story. The first thing you see when you enter the shop is an amazing array of neatly baked, and decorated tres leches cake in the glass cabinet! Wow, I say to myself. Further inside there were so many bakery items, and it was so hard to resist the impulse of buying all of those. I got a small piece of tres leches cake and pineapple empanadas to-go. The price is so affordable, you could eat them all if it was not for the sugar intake. The tres leches cake in itself was very fresh, perfectly moist and cakey! I can happily say my search for the perfect tres leches cake in Detroit did end here. I would be cautious to travel here ONLY during the day though.

horrible business and customer service. we ordered a cake for my gender reveal and my friend told them blue. come the day of the gender reveal and there's literally no frosting for the gender. we tried getting a refund but the said they couldn't. only thing that they could do is give us another cake for half off. no point because the gender reveal is done. ruined our day. they said we had to called them to get refund that same day. I guess they expected us to stop our party on Sunday at 7pm. terrible terrible bakery.

Best local bakery in the neighborhood completely safe And very busy starting at 5 AM in the morning you can expect to get some of the freshest can make bread money can buy in addition to a multitude of amazing pastries pastries indigenous bread and desserts. Also to be noted that they make amazing cakes and cake toppers.. I honestly have had some of the best cheesecake here, I highly recommend.

Walk in looking for tres leches cake for impromptu birthday celebration and my boyfriend walks out with this cake from heaven- literally the best cake I've had in my life and I'm not even a cake person. This was for my 16 year old daughter that randomly asked for tres leches cake... ask and you shall receive get this cake!!!!!!!

Absolutely TERRIBLE! You spend all this time creating a cake for someone special in your life, text over pics of examples. Turns out beautiful and then they box it HORRIBLY!!! The creation of your cakes mean NOTHING if you cannot properly box them ensuring their safe enough to get to the event! They do not care to fix this problem at either therefore I will no longer support your business nor recommend to others! Trust me... ordering your cake here is a HUGE mistake!!!!!

This was our second bakery stop... if you aren't careful, you'll miss the place just like I did, so I had to do a U turn to get back to the store... if you are first timer like me, you'll probably miss it... they do not have sign in front of the building. As I said, this was our 2nd bakery stop, so I didn't get anything, but there are two things that caught my eyes as you walked in. First, as soon as you walk in, you see cakes, varieties of cakes!! Second, to your right is freezer full of Popsicle. As you make your way towards the back, that's where they have their baked goodies; you'll also pass by fridge with smaller sweet goodies, like flan, etc. Next time I'm in Detroit, I'm going to stop by here first to pick up my baked goodies before heading back home. See you soon!

No more ferrating for tres leches cake in Michigan. Yay! Finally i found a bakery that has authentic mexican deserts. I dont have a sweet tooth, but when it comes to tresleches, Hands down i will dig in. I have been there more than 6 times for birthday cakes. It has wide variety of donuts, pasteries, cakes, etc. I would highly recommend this place.

Some of the best cookies and cakes come from Sheila's bakery. The place is so fun, grab your tray if it looks good grab it, if you don't your gonna wish you did. All the cookies and pastries are priced great and you can get a tray packed with goodies for a great deal. The breads were great and yes as mentioned the cakes are dam good also,and again priced very affordable. Oh yea, they were doing tamales, so we ordered 20 of those a buck a peice and well worth the $1. If you get a chance and want some wonderful breads cookies, cakes or when available tamales, stop in you will be glad you did.

Most unique cakes you gonna find, a large selection of fresh Mexican baked goods like no other around town. I Love the big round brown chunks with chocolate on top they call them the ROCK, cookie, cake, breads, rolls, coffee too. Just load up a tray of goodies on the cheap.

I am beyond happy to have ordered my cake here at Sheila's. It was made to perfection! It was so beautiful I didn't want to cut it haha. Great job and great prices!

Tried to get a rosca from them.. i paid and they told me to pick up my money because they weren't making any more. I saw the baker doing roscas while i was picking up my money. So rude

They have a nice variety of pastries. Everything is arranged neatly and looks fresh. I had to control myself because I wanted to buy everything. I bought 4 pastries and a tres leches cake for $7. I got to the counter shocked at how affordable they were. The tres leches cake! I should have bought a whole cake because it was so good. After the first bite I started eating it so dainty. Trying to savor every bite. First time having tres leches and they've set the bar high.

Best tres leches. Best cookies. Excellent Mexican pastries! Parking can be difficult if they are busy. I recommend coming here early.

Best tres leche cake in all of Mexicantown. They have a large variety of other cakes and pastries but the tres leche is what I usually come in for. You can get either a large individual slice or an entire cake. Can't wait for the next celebration in my family because I will definitely make the trek out here for a full cake.

We've come here for years living in the neighborhood. For all of our pan dulce needs, we only ever come here. They uphold a reputation to have delicious warm bread every morning. We have bread in the morning with our coffee or at night after our dinner, traditions we adore with my family. Since I've moved, my mother always has bread for me when I come home to visit. Sometimes she'll bribe me to come home for bread and coffee. I wouldn't dare go anywhere else.

I ordered my preteen daughter cakes from here, and let *TEEN* be the key word ( very picky and hard to please) but Shelia's hasn't let us down! What's even more impressive is she found her ideal cake on Pinterest so I was a little hesitant that they wouldn't be able to match her standards, but after showing them a picture they were able to do it even at an AMAZING price! Over all thoughts: Amazing prices, fantastic tasting cakes, and fast service.

This place is my idea of heaven. Wall to wall pastry, like a magical dream. I don't know how I haven't been here before. My friend and I tried a variety of pastries and everything was good. We tried the tres leches, donuts, empanadas, pineapple upside down cake, and chocolate hostess cake. I did not eat the empanadas or pineapple cake but my friend liked them It is inexpensive too. We will definitely return.

This place is the greatest. I have never been disappointed, unless they happen to be out of one of my favorites. If you're lucky, you'll find sandwiches when you're there, they usually are stacked on the checkout counter or you may have to ask. However, I don't understand this comment: "Let me tell you this upfront - this place is located in a really really shady neighborhood. I was scared to death when I looked around,....". There is nothing shady about this neighborhood! There may be old buildings and there are lots of people of Mexican descent, why is this scary???????????? I am not Spanish, but I would not have any concern walking the local streets with my grandson. Get a life. By the way, if you go east down Springwells about a mile, there is a great old time Italian restaurant, Steve's. Try it and you'll like it.

My eyes are in delicousness overload. I'm still reeling from the visual experience. Honestly! The moment you walk into this panderia the cake cooler screams look at me. These magnificent creations are just dripping in temptation and loveliness. See the pix. Around the corner is a cooler full of individual servings of cakes, drinks and other sweet concoctions. Then further on are the typical mexican cookies, povorones, conchas, empanadas, jelly rolls, cannoli's and breads. This is a very busy place on saturday afternoon. Some first time customers like me, others picking up their special order cakes. But what I didn't see was evidence of pizza. So I'm not certain of the pizzeria part of the name. There is a sister store located in Pontiac. I have it on my "to do" list. Check it out!

Great selection of desserts, sweets, cakes. Can't beat the prices, I basically bought one of each selection to try at home. Pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, all families coming in to enjoy fresh sweets.

Stopped by while I was in Detroit a month ago. I'm always looking for panaderías to visit since they have such a close place in my heart. They have a great selection of different pan dulces along with cakes and other snacks. Although I thought the conchas were a little on the dry side (which is unfortunately common in various locations throughout Michigan), I absolutely loved their pastel de tres leches. I always have to get a variety of their desserts as they are some of the best I have had. I will make sure to stop by next time I'm in town again!

Amazingly scrumptious sweets, affordable and friendly staff.... a must try!!! Wish we lived closer.

Whether you are a resident of Detroit or just visiting, Sheila's is definitely worth visiting on a weekend if you are looking for a snack. A wide variety and assortment of freshly baked cakes and pastries, the bakery is owned by friendly staff who are always willing to provide for your needs. Whether it be authentic churros or colorfully decorated cookies, the snacks are very good and affordable as well. I love stopping by here to pick up cakes for group gatherings. A tres leches comes to about $23 and is definitely one of the best I've personally had. 5/5 Service 5/5 Taste 5/5 Price

Excellent customer service and plenty to choose from. Friendly, clean and polite. Thank you very much Sheila's

We called in an order for a pink/purple unicorn cake for my daughter. My husband just asked that they "make it pretty". The cake we picked up was beyond my expectations. Absolutely beautiful and tasted wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about Shelia's Bakery.

They have the best cakes an fresh baked goods my bday cake comes from there ever year love them keep up the good work please don't change nothing!!!

This place has dry cakes and they almost had an argument with my mother. Most of the bread tastes refrigerated. This is bullshit

Favorite bakery for pan dulces and cakes. They one the best choco flan and tres leches. Great friendly service. Very convenient self service bakery with a variety of cakes, cookies and pastries.

My family and I purchase a whole tres leches cake from the Pontiac location for almost every holiday or occasion we are obsessed! So since we are familiar with Sheila's we decided to try the Detroit location. Unfortunately that was a horrible decision. The cake we received wasn't even comparable to the taste of the cake at the Pontiac location. The cake was half dry!!! How can a tres leches cake be dry?! I am beyond disappointed and the baker at the Detroit location needs some serious tips from the baker at the Pontiac location. I will only purchase from Pontiac after this experience. The cake looks amazing but taste dry and bland.

Stopped in and grabbed a delicious Pastel de Tres leches to take for Easter dinner with my family. It was delicious and everyone raved about it!

This place is NOT a joke. My trainer told me that they have amazing tres leche cake, along with other goodies. I was NOT disappointed. I got a large tres leche cake with whole strawberries on top with strawberry filling, and it was delicious. So glad I made the trip to stop here. I will be back again to try more!

This is the best place for Mexican breads and desserts I've had outside of my native California. My husband and I went during the day around 3pm on a Friday and it wasn't that busy. So it was perfect to check out all the wonderful looking goodies. They have an amazing selection and it was all so fresh and delicious. It was truly the freshest bread I may have had in my life. I will definitely come back, it reminds me of home and I loved it!

Their Churros are to die for. So sweet, cinnamonie and crunchy. Absolutely delicious. I also picked up a few other treats which I really didnt know what they were. I just picked up anything that I thought looked good. There was a small personal cake that kinda looked like a hostess chocolate cupcake. It was filled with jelly and cream. This was really good. I also believe I picked up a chocoflan cake, and a croissant filled with a flan custard. Both had good flavors. It was crowded on a Friday afternoon so I really couldnt see what all they had to offer. If youre not very familiar with Mexican desserts like I am then I recommend you to go at a time when it is not that busy. My total came to $8.75 which to me was a steal since I had quite a few treats. There's also a taco truck in the parking lot. Hopefully the next time I return(which I definitely will be) I will have the time to pick a better selection of treats.

One of my favorite bakeries!! My husband is Mexican and this is our go to bakery for our favorite Mexican treats. Always get my cakes for birthdays or special events from here. They make them very nice and delicious!! I sent them a picture for a custom cake and they put that exact picture on the cake. Looked very nice, I was really impressed! The prices are unbeatable for what you are getting! My favorite desserts are the tres leche and conchas, but I'm sure anything you try you won't be disappointed!

Shelia's has the best Tres Leches cake in all of Detroit! They're always beautifully decorated, especially the round ones. Great for birthdays, holidays and for any reason, really.

Delicious nondairy and not expensive. What more can you ask. I went here on a early Sunday morning to get some desserts for my daughter's bridal shower. First there is just too much to choose from. Cookies, pastries, pound cake you name it they have it. Their full size cakes are reasonably priced but my daughter loves pure buttercream frosting and theirs is made with wheat and other nondairy ingredients. They readily allowed my daughter to sample the frosting and she pronounced it good but not what she craved. Besides with all that variety we just went with variety. I bought numerous cookies and pastries (for about 30 people) and the bill was 32.00 and some change. We just guessed at the quantity and I've been eating small coffee cakes for the last two days. So summary Southwest Detroit, friendly staff, ample parking, great variety and inexpensive.

I ordered a tres leche cake for a Cinco de Mayo potluck at work. It was delicious and everybody at work loved it. I will definitely be back in the future.
