Customer Reviews

Cute little shop! Amazing donuts- got the apple fritter and a raspberry filled glazed. Also purchased a tiramisu cake for my husband for valentines day, looks absolutely amazing. Staff very kind and friendly! 10/10 Recommend!

Ninos Italian Bakery is a hidden gem in Walled Lake. This small, locally owned bakery consistently delivers some of the most amazing donuts and pastries around?always fresh, delicious, and beautifully crafted. My coworkers are thrilled when I bring them into the office! We?ve also enjoyed their loaves of bread and their whole cakes. Beyond the sweet treats, they offer a fantastic variety of savory options, sandwiches, pizza ingredients and take n bakes. Ninos has a small market of specially curated Italian

Went in today to get donuts for the first time. They were amazing! My husband and I enjoyed them a lot. Very fresh donuts and they had a great selection to choose from. I got a 1/2 dozen donuts and ended up getting one of the pizza rolls to have for lunch. The young gal working was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

I?ve been going here since I?m was 5 years old with my grandmother. Best donuts in walled lake and great customer Service. The owner is a doll. Please go here there to underrated for how good they food is and especially there Italian loafs of bread ??.

Delightful local bakery! We especially love the donuts. They?re reasonably priced, generously sized, and so fresh and delicious. We ordered a ?donut cake? (super large donut) for my son?s birthday and it was a hit. I?d highly recommend if you?re looking for something different to celebrate with. This place is a gem!

I've never been here but I'm just wondering if you import your flower from Europe? The stuff in the states is so bad so processed has chemicals in it.

Bought the Tiramisu cake from them for Father's Day... And it was absolutely delicious! My husband had also picked up various baked goods to take to Canada and his family loved everything. Can't wait to come back and try more of what they have to offer.

terrible! not only we're we rushed by the cashier when placing our order, but the cookies my boyfriend specifically wanted, were not in the mix that he picked out. instead he was given cookies from 2 rows up. he even said more than once, that be wanted the bottom right ones, 4 of them to be correct. everything was completely picked over. not going back!!

Fabulous, classic Italian bakery was my first impression of Nino?s. Outstanding food (Italian sub, cookies and chocolate bomb cake) were another highlight of Nino?s. The most important reason I will be returning is the fantastic service. I am so happy to have found Nino?s Italian bakery. They have a huge array of genuine Italian selections. I?m looking forward to trying their Sourdough Bread and classic pepperoni cheese rolls at my next visit.

Best Italian-American bakery in the area with friendly service! The rainbow cookies taste just like the ones from the bakeries in New York City. My family also loves their cannoli.

I?ve ordered my holiday and special occasion pies from Ninos for years. The girls that work the counter are very nice. As of this writing a very high-quality fruit pie that feeds six people is only $11.

Good donuts, pastries, fair prices, friendly staff.

Just moved to the area and was in the mood for donuts, I must say that I?m pleasantly surprised at how yummy the donuts were! My husband absolutely loved them, especially the apple fritter. Not to mention to two lovely ladies working the counter were super sweet. Will definitely be back!

Awesome local bakery that has been a pillar in the community for decades!! Everything is awesome; from the cannoli's, coffee cakes, bread, pepperoni breads and the Italian subs.

Nino?s is amazing! Their food and baked goods are top notch and so is the service. We recently made a large pre-order for Paczki day and I had requested that the flavors be packaged separately since they were for many different staff members at my workplace. Not only did they package them separately and label the outside of the boxes, they also labeled the inside of the boxes and had arrows point at each flavor! It really is the little things that mean the most. I?m sure Paczki day is one of their busiest

A mainstay in the community for decades. Nino?s bakery is amazing! And the owner and team couldn?t be nicer. We?ve tried nearly all of their baked goods over the years and never been disappointed. Their pecan maple danish is a favorite for me. My work team LOVES their donuts. I?ve spoiled them with Nino?s and they?re terribly disappointed when anyone else brings in donuts from elsewhere. They are a local treasure!

I placed an order for 4 cookies and they striaght up didn't make them at all and ignored the entire order bcz I didnt take their call on Sunday, Fathers Day, because I was busy. They called dsy of pickup after I bought a doughnut, and said they didn't make them at all. I guess they don't want business, money, or loyal customers.

I have been hearing about this place for YEARS & finally got to stop in this morning. The raspberry cheese danish is DELICIOUS!!!! Megan greeted me as soon as I walked in and was so sweet and personable. Everything was super fresh! We will be returning.

I never write reviews, but I had a poor experience that hopefully will not happen to anyone else in the future. In mid December I called to order a Tiramasu cake for my mother's 60th birthday party that we were having on NYE. 10am on NYE, I call the store to ask for their closing hours so I know when to pick up the cake. I was told on the phone that they would be closing at 3pm, and that I could pick up anytime before then. Fast forward to 2pm, I am busy decorating for the party, so I miss a phone call

I have been hearing about this Walled Lake bakery for a long time! Finally got there today...FABOUSLY SCRUMPTIOUS! Got a loaf of Italian bread, apple strudel and a few donuts. The bread was beyond yummy...taste and texture were superb, same as the fabulous donuts (the cream filled and the cinnamon roll were the best I've ever had!! I am a sweets freak and this place deserves at least 10 stars. Staff was very nice too. Loved it and I will be going back...often! Have not tasted the strudel yet but I

~ A great sandwich ?? made with consideration & Love ?? <3.

Love this bakery. Not only are the cannoli's delicious but I absolutely love the u-bake pizzas and the pizza kits. Reminds me of when my mom used to get similar pizzas when I was a kid. You can buy all of the toppings you want there as well and make it a fun family night. The pizza sauce is so good too.

Best in town! Disregard any "anonymous" reviews as Ninos is a community favorite. Excellent baked goods, specialty items. Personally, our family loves the pizzas, they are the best! Visit this business if you want quality and hometown local.appeal. wish them many more years of success!

So delicious - the Danishes are unbelievable especially the Apple one , and the Donuts are as well! And such nice people. High end pastries with small town niceness. We will be back soon

Delicious Italian Pastry classics and specialties, including European pastry, Fresh summer fruit pies, Danish, donuts, freshly baked breads, Italian Subs, locally roasted coffee and much more! Nino's team is the BEST; Kind and professional, they ALWAYS, go the extra mile, with a wholehearted smile! See you there friends!

I stopped in hoping to pick up a donut or two and left with two donuts, a sweet croissant, and a package of breadsticks. I browsed around and found an excellent assortment of high quality Italian groceries in addition to fresh baked goods like bread sliced to order. The gal at the counter was super friendly and even offered to warm up an apple fritter for me! All was delicious, so I will definitely be back.

Very good donuts and fresh too:)

Absolutely wonderful little itilian bakery very family esq atmosphere best bread I've ever had gives big name brand a run for it's money. If you're not here you're missing out

Wonderful little place with the best owners! I have so many fond memories of going to Nino's on Sunday morning to get a coffee cake. The Pizza bread is absolutely delicious and if you have not been here yet, you should definitely go!

Outstanding breads, pastries and cookies! I especially like their whole wheat pizza dough so we can make our own pizza. So many unique items that you can't get elsewhere! God bless Nino's!

The BEST Italian bread myself and my family has ever had. One bite and it?s all we talked about for the evening haha. 1000% recommend Ninos for local and family owned baked goods!

If you want fresh bread and delicious pastries this is the bakery for you. There cannolis are out of this world. They have pizza you can take home to bake, delicious. There service and quality are impeccable. If you?re in the Walled Lake area stop in, you won?t regret it

Nino's has the best yeast doughnuts in the area by far, much better than the chains you see around. They have a wide variety of flavors and glazes, and the dough melts in your mouth. I've not tried much else here, but there are other pastries in the bakery section including pies. I have never waited in line here for more than a couple minutes, and the attendant is always there to take your order wen there is no line. There is also a small market here if you need to pick up anything. Make sure to bring c

Nino's is an Old Fashioned real Italian bakery. The best cannolis I've ever eaten. Real Donuts and the small pastries with cream cheese and pecans are amazing. Excellent Italian bread and hard rolls. Nino's has remained family owned and the original owner is still with them. Through the years, the children and the grandchildren worked in this special little Bakery. What a rare occurrence these days. I hope Nino's we'll be there for many years to come.

This place is a front. Constantly closed at all hours of the day, extremely poor quality of selection and food. With most being pre packaged and rebranded cakes, etc. when looking into the profiles of the reviews all seem to be a bit suspicious at how much they loved Nino?s but when I went, I had to wait almost 4 minutes before someone finally came out of the back (I couldn?t see them baking anything?) and I was served. Ninos, I don?t care what you traffic out of the back. But please for the love of god sto

very friendly excellent for all your bakery needs. never had anything wrong with their service or their baked goods. if there were more stars I would rate them higher. lisa and trish always make sure you get your order and it is always fresh and has a fantastic taste. if you like old school service and a large variety of goods please go their.

I absolutely love this place and not just saying that because I used to work here. Everybody at this place is amazing and kind and I am glad I got to work for this family. I would most likely still be there if not for covid changing life plans for me. Everything they make here is delicious. Make sure to try the Cannoli's. They are amazing. They are still my go to for baked goods.

Pepperoni bread was terrible. Asked for and paid extra for cheese on it only to not have any cheese and little Pepperoni. No sauce either. Cannolis were yuck. They looked good but had absolutely no taste. A complete waste of money. Would give negative stars if possible. A waste of 39 dollars.

Despite the negative propaganda reviews by GH supporters, encouraged by their leader, this bakery is the best of the best! The baked goods are wonderful and the breads remind me of my grandmothers recipe. Great family run bakery (for over 40 years) upholding generations of tradition by offering quality baked goods at reasonable prices. Look forward to many more decades of their fantastic products!

Really disappointed in the red velvet cake we got for my daughter's birthday. In the top 3 worst I've ever had. I should have went to Kroger like I was thinking. I will still go here for everything else but I will never get a cake from here again. People are very polite service is very good. Cake is very poor

I wanted to buy everything I saw my 1st trip to Nino's. They could get 5 Stars on my next review if they have alot more tasty items. I will indeed be back soon. My Cherry Cheesecake Danish was all That??

First time ordering the Italian subs. OMG!!! Fabulous! Emma did a great job!!!

The cannolis are simply the best ever! Truly. You will never find another one this good! The tiramisu is a close 2nd, but nothing beats the cannolis. The staff is always friendly, and helpful. 5 stars, and keep up the great job, Ninos! ??

Love this small town bakery. The owners and staff are amazingly friendly and their food is delicious. A long time Walled Lake business that is dedicated to the community. Highly recommend making the trip out to see them.

This bakery has been around since i was little, if not before I was born (71). They are wonderful people, very friendly, food baked daily. It's a shame they are being singled out from a bully who thinks he owns walled lake and can run them out of business. I will give them my business as long as they stay open.

Good service but terrible food. Cake was too sugary, garlic bread had no flavor, pizza bread was poorly made. I absolutely don?t understand how they have stayed in business for so long lol. Go there if you want but I have been disappointed and embarrassed I brought this food to parties.

Their bread is amazing, their tiramisu is one of the best I had on this side of the pond, and most importantly they are the type of nice, friendly ma and pa shop you simply have to support when you can. Hope you guys have lots of business, you deserve it.

Ninos bakery is one if a kind. The doughnuts and pastries are on another level. These doughnuts literally melt in your mouth. Fresh baked doughnuts are always the best, but ninos will make it VERY hard to go back to traditional baked goods. GREAT TO MEAT THE ONE AND ONLY NINO! Keep up the great work everyone! ???????? Edit: The cinnamon rolls are definitely in my top 3 favorites as of Friday June 17. Thank you so much for suggesting!

Strudel. Pie. Cake. Cookies. Cheese. Meat. Pizza. If these words are important to you, I mean, if they get your attention? you wanna visit Nino?s. It?s small, family owned & operated, and simply delicious. From now on I will stop here on my way in to town so I can bring some thing when I visit family, and on my way out of town just for me.

We've tried their donuts, cannolis, and tiramisu. Everything has been great and their tiramisu is honestly among the best I've ever had. Everyone's always super friendly and attentive when we're there. Highly recommend stopping here.

We got distracted this year and no one ordered Paczki for the office this year which just wasn't going to fly. I took a chance and ran up to Nino's in hopes that just maybe they'd have some left. I arrived around 8:30 this morning and my prayers were answered with 4 dozen Paczki that were some of the best I've ever had. We'll be sure to place the office order there from now on!

Shopping locally plus they have amazing cannolis. Family owned - Family Run! Young gentleman helped me pick out some pasta n sauce for a gift package n served up some amazing cannolis. I was happy to recommend the cannolis to a new customer looking for wedding ideas instead of the normal cake or cupcake tower. The woman came back in a few minutes later after trying the cannoli, I can guess the main dessert at her upcoming wedding.

Love this bakery that has been a mainstay in the WL area for generations. Mini cannoli are AMAZING! They will fill the cannoli while you wait, so that the shell does not get soggy. The pizza bread makes a great lunch or quick dinner. In addition to these specialties, they also make typical bakery items: cookies, donuts and make-to-order cakes. Avoid the mass-market garbage at the big stores, and choose to support small business. Your taste buds will thank you!

Amazing! I cannot recommend more such kind stuff and it has the most amazing bakery goods I've ever had 5 stars I wish I could give 500 stars! Will go here anytime I can

Ninos is a staple of Walled Lake!!! I lived in Walled Lake for 30 years, moved out the last 10 due to dirty corrupt politicians who?ve run the city into the ground but I go back to Ninos weekly for fresh bread and home made pizza. Friendly family the best!!!

I absolutely love this place! Best homemade cannoli in the area (homemade shells, not frozen cardboard!). All their food is fantastic. Always exceptional service. Highly recommend.

I have LOVED Ninos bakery, my ENTIRE life. I moved to Arizona and for the last 5 years, I have CRAVED Ninos canoli!!! I'm so glad y'all are still open!!! Thank you for being a big part of my childhood

Always Fresh baked goods. Best donuts,canollie and baked goods around as well as awesome u bake pizza and delicious Italian subs. Try Ninos out won't disappoint!!

I have been in this area 40 years. The negative review of this bakery is suprising to me, as I have never had an unpleasant experience here. Perhaps they caught the staff on an off day. I love the donuts, cakes, cannolis (spell check), pizza, pizza bread, tiramisu, everything. They have very select shelf items, but who goes to a bakery to grocery shop? I'm not an employee, relative, owner, friend, or paid biased commentator. I am just a skinny person is a dessert conneseur because she can be. It's an Italia

I stopped in on Saturday to get an almond ring coffee cake. I left with way more!!! Everything is fresh, delicious and a great price!! Staff is so kind and friendly!!

The BEST cannoli I have ever had!!! Cookies, cheesecake, pizza, everything was just so so good. The staff are super friendly too!

This use to be my favorite bakery but I have decided not to come here anymore. You have a hard time finding a parking spot and when you do get in their out of bread! Every time! I?m done ??

Best donuts, pizza bread and cookies. Fresh, yummy and friendly people. This is a great place to visit in Walled Lake! The coffee cakes are great for gatherings!

Been going here for almost 40 years, my dad took me a s a kid. Great bread, tasty homemade sandwiches and the best pepperoni/pizza bread around. A must try.

I have ordered from Nino's for many years. I love it. The people are friendly and work with you. The bakery is delicious and the cannolis are beyond good.

Love this place, I have been going to this place since I was a little boy. I grew up on the borders of Wixom in Walled Lake they have been a staple bakery for Walled Lake forever. I recommend the Fritters and the coffee cake.

Bread and rolls are run of the mill. Had much better at real Italian bakeries such as Cantoro's. Used to love going here before they decided to allow spying on people from security cameras and other video on their premises. Very disappointing.

We came here for ice cream which was good. We got the strawberry ice cream and butter pecan ice cream. It was rich and ceeamy. But a huge disappointment was the dragon breath dessert we ordered. It is highly priced and we could not eat it!!!

Have been enjoying tasty things from them my whole life. Dont listen to the negative reviews because they are posted by the friends and family of the business next door that is trying to force them from the location so they can expand.

Needed cupcakes for a party. Only had one day notice. The cupcakes Ninos made were fabulous. The kids loved them.Thank You ??

The doughnuts are absolutely amazing and so delicious. No doughnuts will ever compare!!

LOVE this place! Food is great, people who work there are even better. It is such a nice way to support local, and get some fresh food and not prepackaged stuff!

Love this bakery. Great breads, pizza and Italian subs. Everything I?ve had from the bakery has been amazing. Oh and the cannolis are so good.

When my granddaughter comes to visit, there's nothing better than fresh donuts from Nino's bakery! Everything they have there is super fresh and super delicious thanks Nino's for being so close!

Delicious donuts, the chocolate croissant is amazing too! Very friendly staff. A hidden gem!

So glad they have opened up again! We love to stop here for treats after going to the beach. Always sprinkle cookies for the grand babies !

Originally from Walled Lake but moved many years ago. I visit my childhood home one a year and one stop I gotta make every year is Nino's for the cannoli.

Great bakery, they have wonderful pizzas you can cook at home. Their donuts are the best around. Their staff is friendly and helpful.

Love coming here in the Sunday morning. The pastry and donuts are the best around. Don't forget to grab a couple stuffed pizza breads to eat during the game later...

Bought donuts first time Saturday. Very tasty and a generous size. We?ll be back.

What a sad, dingy little bakery. There's nothing special or noteworthy about it, and the service was exceptionally poor as well. Nothing in the case looked special at all, and the doughnuts I did get just tasted like dunkin. I'll be sticking with the Milford bakery.

Best canoli's!! Sweet cream, not ricotta. Fresh stuffed. Trish is a doll and helpful. Best bread and rolls Open sundays!!

Awesome service and products. Great members of the Walled Lake and surrounding communities. Pizza breads, baked goods, u-bake pizzas. All amazing!

Megan hooked me up with the BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP CANOLI EVER!! It was so delicious. Highly recommend!

Yummy doesn't even begin to describe the offerings Nino's has. Definitely a great bakery with great service and always great great selection. ????????????????????

We love Nino's Bakery! Their donut are incredible and the service is always friendly.

Fresh baked loaf of sourdough on a Sunday morning makes the BEST French toast! The loaf was still warm at checkout!

Amazing cookies, always fresh and tastes amazing! Staff is so nice and helpful!! A must see anytime your in the area
