JP Makes and Bakes
6529 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI
Crema's Take
“Run by the beloved JP, this Detroit bakery brings serious nostalgia and craftsmanship to every visit, with customers who've followed him since his ice cream days now lining up for his showstopping pastries. The ube creations are legendary—from the silky soft serve to the kouign amann that keeps people coming back—but the real magic is in the quality across the board, whether you're grabbing a perfectly executed pan de sal or a life-changing slice of cheesecake. It's the kind of place where regulars become family, the Instagram photos actually deliver, and you can taste the care in every bite.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.
