Benny’s Bakery

I’ve been a very happy customer for over 5 years now. From their pretzels to their cookies, cake to their paczki, all items are fresh and tasty! They made my wedding cake in 2011 and we were very impressed with it. I always enjoy supporting a small family business. Next time you’re downtown saline check them out!

I called Benny’s Bakery to order a cake for my son’s birthday. I asked if they knew the character Peppa Pig and they said no, so I asked if they could just put a generic pig on the cake. They said yes, but then I got this wonderful cake with a perfectly drawn Peppa on it! Picture attached. My son was thrilled. He kept saying «Beppa! Beppa!» when he saw the cake. We were absolutely delighted. The cake was delicious. We know where we will be getting his birthday cakes from now on!

I ordered a baby shower cake and cookies from Benny’s and couldn’t be more pleased. I brought in a picture that I wanted copied for the cake and it was done beautifully and tasted yummy. Also, I brought in a picture with different baby faces to go on the cookies and they also were adorable and delicious. I will definitely be coming back… I only wish I had known about this place sooner!

I moved to California in 1985, from Saline, Michigan… My brother is Charles Martin… he worked there and I helped for years… I come home every year and can’t wait to get a Benny’s pretzel! Let’s open a Benny’s here in California… you would love the weather! Send me some pretzels!

Don’t let the semi-​broken screen door or beat-​up interior fool you: these are the best doughnuts in Saline, and I think the best I’ve ever eaten. Amazing stuff here, folks — no joke, no sugarcoating (pun intended). Pretzels are good, but only available on Sat mornings. As a regular, I have only two complaints: not enough seating (EXPAND!), and bake more stuff so you don’t run out by 10 AM!

Bennys is the classic example of hometown cookin. Being new to the area I kept hearing about it. The donuts. The pretzels. It certainly is a saline establishment.
The problem is that I really don’t like it. Donut shops often have a characteristic taste that is the product is their frying oil. Places like dunkin donuts don’t do this because their oil has little «character.» The other way of looking at it is that they replace their oil. Some local places, though, get a signature taste that goes into everything that is put in the oil.
So then what happens when your oil tastes just completely nasty and leaves you with a terrible aftertaste for hours? When you go home to brush your teeth to get the flavor out?
You get Bennys
I am a huge donut fan. I will not eat Bennys anymore. They are very fresh and the flavors are good. But the oil is so nasty I cannot do it anymore. By the way even the pretzels have a hint of the signature flavor.
That being said, the locals really really are proud of bennys. And the pretzels are huge favorites. But I’ll go elsewhere, thank you very much.

Addicted to their chocolate frosted donuts. Seriously amazing. So sad that I moved to Brighton, maybe one day they will franchise :) One can dream right?

AWESOME! This is the best bakery in the area. They have amazing donuts, pretzels, bread, and customer service.
They do your Christmas and Holiday baking (pies, cookies) to make your life early.
For your Birthday celebrations get a cake or cupcake order.
You need to experience this neighborhood gem. I love this bakery.

This tiny bakery opens at 5:30 in the morning, which is why it was bare when I stopped by at noon. The only thing left to try were some donuts and some cookies! No bread, or pies or cakes! I did try the chocolate chip cookies, which were excellent. Will have to go back (very early!) to try more!

Best German pretzel you’ll get outside of Germany.
(Yes, I’ve tried them in Germany, and am glad to have a replica in my back yard! However, I have had to start triathlon training just so I can keep eating these pretzels. ;-)

A co worker brought in the pretzels from Benny’s bakery one Saturday and I knew I was in love. Can’t wait to try the other goodies here.

Like somebody else mentioned, I’ve been a fan of Benny’s Bakery since it was called Walker’s. Back then, workers from the Ford factory hung out there in the wee hours before their shifts. Like somebody else said, the pretzels on Saturday are amazing. Each weekend, they sell 400 – 500 dozen. 400 – 500 DOZEN!!! And even more on Michigan Football Saturdays. That’s for a small family business.
OK, full disclosure: my sister and brother-​in-​law bought this bakery from Benny Galimberti himself around 2005. I have nothing to do with the bakery, though, except that I occasionally go to bag pretzels on Saturday mornings when I’m visiting (I live in CT now).
Seriously, the donuts, pretzels, breads, cookies, and cakes are fantastic. Steve Babiak (the current Baker Extraordinaire) makes cookies frosted with either UM or MSU logos during that game week, and he does the same with OSU cookies during that week (he’s still a Buckeye at heart, which is a source of some family ribbing, depending on who’s got the better football team).
Just like back in the 70’s, the locals add a lot to Benny’s. On any given Saturday morning, I can walk in and say hello to my high school friends or their parents. My father is one of the men who hangs in the middle of the bakery with other retired folk talking about the old days (cue Springsteen’s «Glory Days»). If you’re from out of town, it’s just as welcoming, so you definitely should go. One caution, go to the bathroom before you enter – the bathroom is in the haunted (seriously) basement, and it’s, um, well, just go before you get there.
So, get my point? Go, get some pretzels, eat them all on Saturday, digest on Sunday, anticipate on Monday (they’re closed), and get the donuts on Tuesday (through Friday)!

I have been going on and off to Benny’s Bakery, since it was Walker’s Bakery in the 1970s. Back then, this was the place where the farmers and townsfolk gathered to talk about local politics over some freshly brewed coffee and some great bagels and doughnuts.
Located in downtown Saline, on the south side of US-​12, Benny’s offers some of the best cakes your money can buy. From a small round layer cake, all the way up to a giant wedding cake, the artistic staff at Benny’s can make it for you. They are not satisfied until you are.
I have always loved their glazed doughnuts, and blueberry muffins. Thankfully, Benny’s loads their muffins with the right amount of blueberries. Unlike other bakeries, where you have to hunt for a single berry in their muffins, this is not the case here at Benny’s. With that said, they bake some of the best Christmas cookies on earth.
If you find yourself in downtown Saline, and your sweet tooth is driving you crazy, why not head on into Benny’s Bakery and indulge yourself in their sugary confections.

If you are looking for Christmas cookies, Benny’s Bakery has beautiful decorated ones. The sugar cookies are my favorites, decorated like Stars, Santa, Snow Men, ornaments. They are made daily. Wherever I take them people don’t want to eat them as they are so cute.
Benny’s is known for their Pretzels on Saturday, but this week I discovered the Holiday Christmas Cookies. Deliciouls

Two words: Saturday Pretzels. Get there early or you will miss the fabu treat. Benny’s has good other stuff but I am seriously addicted to Saturday hot pretzels.
A helpful tip is that you can call them by 2 pm on Friday to order your pretzels for pickup on Saturday, if you do not get there by eleven though you are outta luck.
Upside is if you swing by Benny’s at eleven-​ish you can probably get someone lazy’s pretzels. Mean yes, but I love me some pretzels.

From the moment you walk in the door at Benny’s, you know you’re in for a treat. You’ll get a whiff of their latest baked goods, and can choose from any of them in the display cases.
Of course, you have the staples of donuts and rolls, in all shapes and flavors. They also make cookies — but be prepared and order ahead for your Holiday cookies, which always sell out!
Also, whenever you go in, there’s a group of locals gathered for a donut and a cup of coffee — always a good sign! If the locals gather every day, you know it must be good!
