Our adventure begins at Trappers Alley, a historic gem in the heart of Greektown. This area, rich with character, gets its name from its early days as a hub for fur trading. With its lively atmosphere and unique architecture, it sets the perfect tone for our journey.

Next, we’ll stop at Astoria Bakery, a Greektown staple that’s been delighting visitors for decades with its array of baked goods. This family-owned spot combines old-world charm with mouthwatering sweets that pay homage to the neighborhood’s Greek heritage.

From here, we head to the bustling area near the Shinola Hotel, where you can enjoy expertly crafted coffee and explore one-of-a-kind desserts that showcase the city’s creative culinary spirit. This neighborhood, recently revitalized, blends Detroit’s industrial past with its thriving arts and culture scene.

In nearby Parker’s Alley, tucked behind the Shinola Hotel, you’ll find an artisanal chocolate shop where unique treats await. With its quaint cobblestone pathways and modern boutiques, Parker’s Alley feels like a hidden treasure in the midst of downtown.

Our tour continues to Cannelle, a beloved patisserie offering exquisite pastries. Drawing inspiration from French baking traditions, this spot adds a touch of elegance to Detroit’s robust culinary landscape.

Finally, we’ll end at Campus Martius, the heart of downtown Detroit. This vibrant public square, steeped in history and surrounded by iconic skyscrapers, is a fitting place to conclude our journey. Take in the lively atmosphere and reflect on the sweet memories made along the way.
