"Serena Maria Daniels, Detroit City Editor, Eater: ...Ochre Bakery and Magnet. Ochre sadly closed earlier this year..." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Ochre Bakery, launched by owners Jessica Hicks and Dai Hughes in 2019, offered Detroiters one of just a few bakeries that focused on bread making. It enjoyed critical success both nationally and locally, beloved for its impressive menu of sandwiches, pastries, and seasonal ingredients." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Among fruit-topped danishes, perfectly flaky croissants, and fresh breads, Ochre Bakery makes sure there are by-the-slice options in the case for cake fans. The bakery’s rotating selection ranges from not-too-sweet olive oil cakes to decadent chocolate layer cake to frosted slices of pistachio-lemon pound cake. Ochre also takes special orders." - Brenna Houck
"You know, I opened this bakery wanting to have a positive effect, but we felt like a mirage in a food desert. We weren’t accessible in the ways I wanted us to be." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
