Great spot with tasty treats and great breakfast
Stopped by Flake Croissant while in Okemos during my trip for the Theatre on Ice Nations and Gold Cup competition, and it was an absolute gem. The croissant? Easily one of the best I’ve had. Perfectly flaky on the outside with those delicate, buttery layers that shatter just right with every bite, while still soft and rich on the inside. You can tell it’s made with real care and technique—it’s simple, but executed at such a high level. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and appreciate how good something classic can be when it’s done right. If you’re anywhere near Okemos, do yourself a favor and stop by Flake Croissant. Totally worth it.
Everything is absolutely amazing!! The most beautiful, flakiest croissants!
Loved the croissants! Staff seemed a little unorganized. A cool spot to gather and have a small breakfast or treat.
Nice little shop. Packed, but they were moving people through steadily
