Awrey’s bakery has always been a fav! I remember the fresh date bars as a kid, mom use to buy them for our dessert. Also, I remember their windmill cookies were the best.

Interesting, was the taste the same? I wonder if the bakery just bought the name. Also my local Kroger has a selection of Bill Knap's products, not just the famous chocolate cake. | ||

The only Awrey's product I've had is the Bill Knapp's chocolate cake. I see it at Kroger. | ||

Was just at the Awrey Bakery thrift store (which is attached to the factory) last week. Got a dozen cheese danishes for $2.99!
The factory is quite large, actually. It's a big operation located on Farmington Rd. between Plymouth Rd. and Schoolcraft in Livonia. They still turn out the Long-John coffee cakes, along with the date-nut bars, Bill Knapps chocolate cake, donut dunkers and other goodies. They also make the Sanders bumpy cakes - both chocolate and caramel, almond ring coffee cakes, plus tons of cookies, brownies, cakes and Danish. Worth the trip to thrift-shop - when you pull up you are often hit with the aromas of things baking from the massive ovens in the plant. | ||

Interesting. So one plant turns out a collection of "old time" products. Never been a big consumer of any of the products, how do they compare to the originals? | ||

OMG....Long John coffee cake is probably one of my most favorite things in the world. My sister will usually get one when I make a trip into Allen Park and I'm doomed. I will actually get up in the middle of the night if I know there is one in the house. We had one this past July but I have to say, didn't think it was quite the same. Seemed drier than usually.
Also a sucker for Bumpy cake! But surprise, here in NJ, I see Bill Knapps Dunker donuts out. Those were just as good as I remember. I'm going to see what the internet yields for getting the classics shipped here to NJ | ||
