Oh Crumbs! Bread Company - Howell, Michigan

Such an amazing big city bakery in Howell of all places. The bread is fresh and flavorful, the croissants melt in your mouth, the cinnamon rolls are perfectly proportioned with icing and cinnamon. On par or even rivals bakeries in Italy and France. Get there early and be prepared to wait in line. Savor the breads the same day and freeze an extra loaf for later.

Oh Crumbs Bread Company is nothing short of spectacular. Over the past year, this small gem has completely blown up (even more), and for good reason. The owner, Scott, is an absolute artisan when it comes to bread-making. His sourdoughs and croissants are unparalleled, and their recent addition of kruffins (a heavenly croissant-muffin hybrid) has raised the bar yet again. Every single one is a masterpiece—flaky, buttery, and filled with creative seasonal flavors that keep me coming back for more.

Beyond the classics, Oh Crumbs offers an ever-changing variety of specialty breads and products, tailored to the season. Whether it’s a rich, nutty loaf in the fall or a light and zesty creation in the summer, there’s always something new to try. This thoughtful, rotating menu showcases not just Scott’s talent but also his passion for delivering unique, high-quality baked goods.

Despite its small size, Oh Crumbs has an enormous amount of charm and character. The cozy space radiates warmth, and the team is as delightful as their creations. Scott and his wife work side by side, infusing every aspect of the bakery with care and authenticity. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to guide you through the menu or offer recommendations.

A couple of tips for first-timers: Get there early. This place is wildly popular, and for good reason—by early afternoon, most of the goodies are sold out. Ordering ahead is also a smart move if you don’t want to miss out on your favorites.

If you’re still not convinced, check out my photos and videos—they’ll give you a glimpse of the magic happening at Oh Crumbs. Trust me, one visit and you’ll see why this little bakery has become a must-visit destination.

A local gem with a very talented and passionate artisan! Everything is always good. Lamination on the croissants is a buttery soft crunch of goodness, the foccacia is well addicting, and the bread is always *chefs kiss*

Closest thing to being there! I am 100% German. I travel there often. I have been searching high and low for true authentic German Brötchen. I called every baker from Howell to Brighton, Flint to Fowlerville. They all knew of what I spoke but no one made them. I used to travel more than an hour away to a German butcher shop but not anymore! Oh Crumbs Bread Co. nailed it!! The selection and variety of items is outstanding! You have a customer for life!!

Anything you get from here is incredible!! It’s disappointing to see people leaving bad reviews simply because they run out of products from time to time. In my opinion, I look at it as a small local business that wants to provide fresh, quality products daily and minimize waste, therefore I would assume and even hope they sell out! When I want to make sure I get a specific product, I make an effort to get there right when they open. Very simple 🙂 thank you for bringing fresh bread and baked goods to our town!

Oh Crumbs! Bread Company is a family-owned bakery in Howell, Michigan, proudly incorporating its German roots into every handcrafted loaf. The traditional craftsmanship behind their bread is evident in every bite. What truly impressed us is that all the breads are baked fresh daily in small batches, using only natural, high-quality ingredients – no artificial additives.

Their sourdoughs are made following old-world techniques, with slow fermentation and patience to achieve the perfect flavor and crust. You can really taste the difference! We also tried the croissants, and they were fantastic – light, buttery, and perfectly baked.

The team is warm and welcoming, and you immediately feel at home. This is where true craftsmanship and tradition come together with a love for quality. If you’re looking for authentic, freshly baked bread, this place is a must-visit!

This place is delightful! Got to try a cinnamon roll and some Italian bread! Highly recommend! Grabbed a pastry for my mom which they filled with chocolate and powdered sugar and she also loved it!

Oh Crumbs! is the best! I love the Rustic Rye Sourdough and get a loaf every week for my lunches. Their specialty sweet breads are good too. Quiet jazz/swing music typically playing in the background for a inviting environment. The couple who runs it are just the sweetest too! Simply the best.
