Julian Brothers

This is a great place to grab a quick lunch (and a delicious sweet treat) to go. The employees are friendly and helpful, and the food is quality.

I needed a tiramisu but it wasn’t on their menu. I called and they special made one for me. It was Awesome and literally gone in 5 minutes. So glad I called!

This place is charming, clearly a local staple. Lots of pastries and fresh bread at reasonable prices, service with a smile. Be prepared to wait a little if you need something out of the case — I was there on a Sunday afternoon and there was a bit of a line. There are also groceries here, just a few small shelves and some refrigerators. I haven’t explored them thoroughly yet.

Stopped in the first time at this bakery to pick up a birthday cake. The staff were super nice and gave my cranky toddler a cookie to keep him happy.
The cake was absolutely delicious with frosting that was nit over the top sweet. We were in and out in 10 mins despite the lineup.
Definitely going back!

Nice little bakery/​sub shop. Good place to stop for lunch for subs and pizza slices. The donuts and cinnamon rolls are very good as well. Stopped there on a Saturday and the place was very busy and had steady customers the whole time I was there (I decided to eat my Italian sub in the parking lot). Friendly service and lots of people behind the counter to help the next customer. I’ll definitely be back!

I always have to stop by when I’m in the area. Love the nice greasy pizza and then I top it off with a couple of donuts and a can of Arizona lemonade everytime… everytime

In my hunt for more and more and more carbs — because beer and pizza isn’t enough, I come here.
Walking through the door gives off a Frankenmuth feel. A bit of home and 70’s/80’s all rolled up in one. One step in and it becomes almost psychedelic as your eyes are bouncing all over the place — fresh made breads of all types, cut to order, are in shelves behind the counter. Homemade King Dongs, Bumpy cake, cheesecake, cookies, bear claws, and many many other great deserts are on display and a big menu of sandwiches, pizzas, and misc. Walking in deeper and turning right will take you to the sandwich, pizza, side salads and other foods (Meatloaf) are now on display.
It’s hard not to walk out with a little of everything and I often do. The homemade King Dongs, thin slices 7 grain bread, and meatloaf are a bad vice that I have to have when I come here.
The staff are very friendly and I just haven’t had anything I wouldn’t buy again from this place.

Well I’ve been a patron of Julian Bros for a solid 6 years now and it’s just as good as ever. If you want to have a fat kid day and go on a sugar binge, this place will satisfy your needs. Huge variety of donuts, desserts and pretty much anything you could want. Their cherry fritters? On point. And huge. But that didn’t stop me from washing it down with 2 cookies…
What can I say? I have a mad love affair with sugar sometimes…

Amazing all around. I love their italian desserts. Right on point. I love the smell of the bread when I enter. My papa has been coming here for years and this place gave my family wonderful Italiano memories, with their food. I will pass down to my children the same traditions and plan on having Julian Brothers be apart of them.

This is an excellent bakery which also has hot and cold lunch selections
I really miss the pizza bread living in indianapolis. Now my friends have me deliver loafs when I am up in Detroit metro area for work
Just brought 8 loafs home this week.
Cookies, donuts, bread, salad and sandwiches. Cakes too.
Stop here for something good and you will be back. Been going here for at least 15 years

I LOVE this place. It’s an old school bakery that also has pizza, subs and a small grocery section.
The bakery is awesome. I often order cakes for holiday celebrations, and I can’t recommend their bumpy cake or lemon layer cake highly enough. Both are rich and decadent, and the 10″ cake can easily feed a small army. But don’t stop at the cakes, dear readers. There is an entire case of pastries to be sampled. My personal favorites are the lemon flips and the ding dongs, but after EXTENSIVE research into the matter I can attest to the fact that it’s all good.
And the breads… ah, the breads… Italian, sourdough, rye, wheat, cinnamon. About a dozen other varieties. Some come in a couple of sizes. Some come with seeds, or without. Want it sliced? No prob. Dinner rolls galore. Pepperoni rolls. You get the picture.
They also sell pizza by the slice, or you can order a whole pie. I’ve had the pizza a few times, and it’s consistently good. I haven’t tried the subs, but they look good and are certainly on my list.
One of my very favorite things that they sell is homemade pasta in the freezer case. Along with some homemade pesto and a generous amount of parmigiano Reggiano, it is TOTALLY worth the carb coma!

Incredible hidden secret. Get ingredients to go to make homemade pizza. Incredible deal for great ingredients. Everything else there is awesome. Must visit. Very friendly staff.

I don’t go to Julian brothers very often because I will eat half a loaf in one day. With nothing on it. It is so soft and fresh. White seeded Italian is my favorite. I don’t get anything else so I can’t speak for it. The place is always hoppin’ though.

This is the best pure Italian bakery in the burbs. A pepperoni roll always hits the spot and their homemade baked subs give the best crunch for your buck. If you are ever cruising through the city of Clawson and it’s not a Monday, this is the place to go. Dick Julian and his staff are the friendliest and the best. Clawson does not have many landmarks, but this is certainly one of them.

Pretty much lived at this place as a kid. Slice of pizza an a cold Pepsi was all we needed. Stopped in and grabbed the same thing some 20 years later. Pizza still tastes awesome! Great to see there still making pizza roles as well!!!

This is a hidden gem! I often stop there to get a turkey sandwich for lunch. I add a bag of Cheetos and a donut for a so so healthy lunch lol. They have a great shortbread cookies, & a lot of things to take back to the office to warm up. I would highly recommend this place. Prices are not too bad but they are not on the cheap side either.

I don’t know who the Julian brothers are, but they sure know how to make delicious baked goods. I am trying to stay away from simple carbs but it is sooooooooooo tough to do when I know my husband wants to go here and it’s a short drive away, so I just indulge in a few treats and try to forget about it by the next day.
Basically anything in the pastry case is wonderful. They have these little miniature bumpy cakes called ding dongs, and they are way better than actual Sanders Bumpy Cake. My uncles actually prefer the caramel cake here to the authentic Sanders version as their birthday cake of choice. Their almond tea ring coffee cake things are a favorite of my dad’s. Their cookies are delicious and so cute with sprinkles and they even have those neon-​colored Italian layer cookies that are too much for me but my entirely-​New Jersey, practically-​Italian husband swears by them.
Then there’s the bread. Oh Em Gee, the bread. Buttermilk Rye. Sicilian, with seeds or without. Wheat. Cinnamon Raisin. At least 20 other varieties, not to mention dinner rolls or a 5-​year-​old Cathy O. favorite, pepperoni rolls. Good luck to you figuring out which variety to pick.
They have inexpensive, decently tasty pizza and subs. Now, if I had to be picky, I would complain about the subs that are pre-​made that morning, but I haven’t asked them to make a fresh one for me ever and the ladies behind the counter are so nice I bet they would do it. The frozen food selection is quite large with both italian staples and more typical frozen dinners.
This place is a winner in my book. But you really should stay away from the aforementioned ding dongs because you’ll wake up at 7am craving one, like I did six minutes ago. Oopsies!

Bumpy cake is fabulous as is their pizza. Very good prices and nice staff. Definitely my favorite bakery.

This little gem brightened my day, and was a great alternative to the standard «fast food’ joints in the area. We grabbed an italian sub on our way out of town and it was only $ 3.99 — great deal.
We will be back to do some shopping for italian groceries in the near future.

I have been curious about Julian Brothers for awhile. There isn’t much going on in the strip where it’s located & I wasn’t sure if it was open. Naturally, I turned to Unilocal to find out what this place is all about.
I finally stopped in last week to grab a sub. I ordered the club from the case, plus a pepperoni roll. I toasted the sub when I got home. The sesame sub roll was full of flavor. I loved it! The roll totally made the it great. The pepperoni roll was just ok. I always have such high hopes wherever I order them, and I haven’t been impressed yet.
We decided to try their pizza this weekend. I really like that you can order a small square pizza that is only 4 slices. This allows me to order a specialty pizza that my husband won’t eat without a lot of leftovers. I ordered a small square BLT pizza & a medium square pizza with pepperoni & ham. I really wanted to try their cheese bread but they were sold out. That is probably my only disappointment. They don’t make it by order. I settled for the seasoned garlic bread, which was just OK. It was baked earlier in the day, so it wasn’t your typical garlic bread from a pizza place.
I LOVED my BLT pizza. It was cooked perfectly, great crust and plenty of bacon. You have a choice of getting mayo or Miracle Whip. I’m not sure if that’s standard since I never get to order this type of pizza! I tried a piece of the other pizza & it was very good!
I don’t shop at too many different grocery stores, but they all tend to carry limited variations of pasta. I think JB has a great pasta selection. They also sell Guernsey products, including a great variety of their ice cream flavors (most important).
The staff was very friendly & helpful during both stops.
I’m so glad I finally stopped in. We’ll definitely be back for more.
