Le Belal Pastry

I was told to check this place out. To my surprise, it was right in my neighborhood. So I went in and picked a variety of Croissants out. ( cheese, zaatar, chocolate, and everything bagel?) Each one was better than the next! I can't wait to try the other baked goods!

Edit: Just had a cheesecake for Easter. It was fantastic. Not too sweet, it had a perfect creaminess to it. And the crust was so flavorful. Definitely the only place I'll get a cheesecake from going forward.

Absolutely the best fresh, buttery, flakey croissants and pastries, delicious cheesecake and crème brûlée, everything is good. The price is more than fair for the excellent quality. Also Chef Belal is warm and gracious. Highly recommended.

Today was my first time visiting this shop. I had heard of them from my sister and decided to give them a try. Upon arriving the shop is located within a small plaza west of telegraph off Warren rd. I was greeted by Bilal who took my order and helped me out. Since it was my first time I needed a little help so Bilal without hesitation went over ever item with a smile. Their service and kindness is next level here. Ended up with a pumpkin muffin, two parfaits and a zatar twist plus a bonus biscoff compliments on the house. Checkout was very quick and easy. Keep in mind their shop is pretty small and there's no dining. Just a grab and go style here. Once I got home the fun began. Went for the parfaits first and my goodness very addicting, light, fluffy and full of flavor to satisfy your sweet tooth. Saved the rest for the following day at breakfast time. In summary, if you're looking for a delicious quick grab n go this is the spot with fantastic service and hospitality..highly recommended. Thanks to Bilal for making my experience soo great and the bonus item to sweeten things up. Looking forward to trying out other items on the menu.

**Another important note: this shop is known for their pastries and croissants. But due to very high demand oder online or come in during opening at 9am.

**Second important note: they're open only Friday-Sunday!

First off, I am writing this review based off the fact I've had actual french pastries in Europe while I lived there, as well as here in the states by famous french pastry chefs in California, New York, Chicago, and Miami. Now finally Detroit has an ACTUAL french pastry bakery!!

I've been wanting to try Le Belal Pastry since he opened up back in November. Finally had the pleasure of doing so yesterday and I was blown away! First off Belal, the one in the background in the blue chef's jacket, is an Absolutely phenomenal down to earth humble human being and better yet an even better pastry chef! Chef Belal was taught by some of the best culinary pastry chefs in New York before coming back to him home town and opening up Le Belal Pastry.

I ordered an array of items, tried almost every Croissant, creme puffs, cheesecake, cinnamon roll, and his double roasted Lavazza coffee. Definitely need to get the coffee to pair it well with the following goodies. Everything he presents is all hand made by himself and derived from quality ingredients, some of which were imported from France such as the butter and other main ingredients he uses. I wish I could pick 1 thing that was my favorite but to be frank everything tasted phenomenal and looked absolutely divine! The raspberry filling in the raspberry croissant was unlike any other, perfect amount of sweetness and taste. The cheese croissant is amazing in the morning, especially when you heat it up for 10 seconds and have the cheese all melty and gooey. The cinnamon roll croissant has the perfect amount of butter and cinnamon that melted in your mouth. The plain croissant has a sweet buttery flavor on the side which made me wish I had bought more. The nutella pastry (forgot the name) absolutely amazing, not like your typical nutella pastry. The creme puffs, a must try! Vanilla and Nutella custard. The nutella isnt simply stuffed with nutella, no, Belal makes the hazelnut chocolate custard by hand and it will have you crying for more. Last but not least, the Beautiful Beautiful cheesecake!!! I'm very picky with my cheesecakes and tend to not enjoy bakery or restaurant cheesecakes. My sister is a baker, so I've only been impressed by her cheesecake. I thought I'd give Belal's a try and I am glad I did!! Cheesecake was absolutely divine, it was whipped just right, flavor on point, wasnt too light nor too heavy. Just right. The mixed berries gave it the perfect touch, and the cream on the side I could eat that with a spoon allll day!!! He makes it by hand as well, not cream from a can you buy off the shelf.

Also, I was expecting the total to tally up to roughly $65+, however everything came out to $32 which was unbelievable. I was in disbelief! I've had pastries from local shops that charged up to $12 for 1 item, and having spent upwards to $65 for 5 items in other places. I love my pastries and I'm always willing to pay, because sometimes the high price is worth it. I've paid over $16 for 1 croissant in California Pastry shops. Le Belal pricing is extremely low, especially for the quality and ingredients he uses. If anyone tells you it's expensive, they clearly dont know market value on pastries and how much hard work, time, and dedication it takes to make these pieces of art.

I highly highly recommend visiting Le Belal Pastry, and I'm glad I got the pleasure of trying these works of art by such a skilled and mastered chef!! I definitely will be back on a weekly basis even though I live roughly 45mins away in Troy. I'm thankful Michigan finally has a phenomenally skilled chef/baker to open up a pastry shop.

I was in the mood for a croissant, so I did a Google search. This location will not disappoint you. When you walk in the door you can smell the goodness baking. This place is amazing! The staff is friendly. The chef gave me a sample that was delicious. The cream cheese danish with apricot drizzle I purchased was buttery rich and flaky, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Go here you won’t regret it!!

Cinnamon Cruffin Delicious!!!!

This is an original authentic French style bakery that will absolutely rock your world 🌎 I really don't even need to say much else because this place Is definitely on the unmissable list. Recommend the cheese pastry! 🤌

AMAZING customer service and extremely high quality work. I needed a small celebration cake on Easter Day and didn’t realize all bakeries in my area were closed… I called this bakery and custom ordered a cake that was ready for SAME day pickup (just a couple of hours after hanging up the phone).
The cake tasted amazing, super light, super fresh, it was a hit. Thank you SO much for saving the day and helping me make the day special!! You guys are the best!!

Ever since our trip to Paris a few years back, we’re always on the lookout for a quality French patisserie. Le Belal fits the bill with some of the best creamer puffs and desserts we’ve ever had!

I have ordered 4 cakes now from them. Everyone that eats the cake is so impressed and loves it. It is a little more than say a Kroger cake or what not, lol. You have to consider the quality of the cake. It is packaged so nicely (no smooshed top ever!) The design is lovely (multiple layers) and the decorative aspect is always elegant and simple. Most recently I will get a cake for my 3 year olds' birthday party. I cannot wait. I look forward to many years of celebrating important events with these cakes.

Cheesecake was by far the best I have ever had. You can tell this was made with quality ingredients and made by a pastry chef who knows his craft. Beyond impressed!!

The best!!!!! I walked in not knowing they were closed. Totally my fault for not checking.This is not the first time I've been here either. I love this place. The owner apologized to me, but told me he made extra for a big order he had for the day. He didn't have to do that, but I'm sure he appreciated me stopping in to support his business. I was able to get a couple croissants and they didn't disappoint. After all was done, he offered me a coffee on my way out. Other businesses in this area should take notes. That's customer service and i will always support this place as long as it's around.

Stopped in today and picked up a delicious nutella croissant and a slice of cheesecake. Every bite was better than the last! You can tell the owner genuinely cares about the quality of his pastries and customer satisfaction. I will definitely be back for more.

Ordered a cake for my moms birthday and the chef made a few tweaks based on what she likes. He suggested an Almond cake with pistachio cream, fresh raspberries, and the lightest, freshest, real whipped cream. I’m so glad I trusted his expertise and palate, it turned out so flavorful and delicious! I can’t wait to try the chocolate cake combinations next!

Fresh croissants with so much flavor. So buttery, light and fluffy!
Highly recommended.
Great job Chef Belal!

One day I was out and googled "cheesecake near me" and just chose a random store. Let me tell you, I'm so glad I chose this pastry shop. The cheesecake was sooo good! Even my mom hummed noises with every bite lol. My mom is a cook so if she loved it, it must be good! They offer multiple toppings for your cheese cake. Mom got the biscoff and some type of drizzle, I think it's called the Lotus. I had the strawberry compote sprinkled with graham cracker crumbles. Oh and mom bought a dark chocolate filled croissant and double chocolate brownie for my niece which were good also.
The customer service was excellent. It's a drive for us so next time we'll order a whole cheesecake to hold us over lol.

I walked in for the first time this afternoon and got a couple things, but should have gotten a whole lot more! Delicious pastries and the foccacia pizza was to die for. Will definitely be back again soon!

Visited this place because i had heard so much about it and everything was spectacular. Croissants were a little crispier than expected but still great! Truly french style pastries. The young man who helped me, I believe his name was Mustafa, was extremely helpful and had incredible customer service. I will definitely be back

I’m pregnant and have been craving croissants so I’ve tried many, this place by far has the best croissants in all of Dearborn/Dearborn heights. We tried the cheese and the chocolate but they have a big variety. Definitely recommend!

I’m from out of town and this place literally has some of the best croissants/cookies Ive ever tried!

Went in on a whim to find some good croissants. Ended up getting a sample of the apricot ladyfingers and ended up getting a bunch of each flavor to share with family. Would definitely recommend everyone inside were amazing snd helpful!
