Lev’s Bakery Shop

Lev's Bakery Shop is the longtime bakery on East Chicago Boulevard in downtown Tecumseh, the kind of place that's been pulling people in for breakfast carbs for years. Donuts, pretzels, pies, breads, and seasonal Christmas cookies make up the regular rotation.

Open 4:30am to 4:30pm Tuesday through Friday and 4:30am to 3pm Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday. Yes, 4:30am. If you're driving in from Ann Arbor for an early start, this is the first thing open in town.

Regulars rave about the apple, walnut, and cinnamon breads, the cookies, and the donut case. Prices are easy on the wallet. Staff is friendly. Reviewers also call out longer hours and a bigger selection under newer ownership, which is worth knowing if you tried it years ago and want to circle back.

Takeout only - grab a box and walk it back into your day. Useful as the kickoff stop on a downtown morning before the shops open, or the bring-something-home stop on the way out. More downtown Tecumseh picks at mitecumseh.com.
