Cannelle Patisseries is located a little bit off the beaten path. The bakery can be found in Birmingham, but near the corner of N. Eton and Maple, instead of in downtown. The shop is run by proprietor Matt Knio, who opened his first shop in Applegate Square (Southfield) in 2003. He called this original shop Cannella Patisserie. Knio then moved the bakery to Hamilton Row (downtown Birmingham) in 2005. That shop closed in 2008 and reopened in 2013 in its current location. Along with its delicious French macarons, the bakery also serves chocolate truffles, pies, croissants and other French goods, like baguettes and tortes; you can order a baguette sandwich here as well.
