Our Story

SAMAHA Bakery is a family-owned artisan bakery in Northern Michigan, where we create exceptional baklava flights and handmade paletas you won't find anywhere else.

What We Make

Every product is handcrafted in small batches in our ServSafe-certified commercial kitchen in Traverse City. We specialize in premium baklava with unique flavor combinations—from Classic Walnut to Honey Lavender to Cherry Bourbon—alongside paletas, our handmade frozen treats made with real ingredients.

Our baklava features layers of buttery phyllo dough, premium nuts, and aromatic spices, finished with signature honey syrups using the exquisite local products from Hilberts Honey. Each flavor is crafted to showcase exceptional ingredients and bold combinations that honor tradition while embracing creativity.

Our naturally leavened sourdough, made with our house starter, is available by custom order. Contact us to place one.

We also make scones, quickbreads, seasonal pies, and other goodies, and we welcome custom orders.
