There’s something undeniably delightful about peaches—their juicy sweetness, subtle tartness, and vibrant flavor bring a seasonal touch to any dish or cocktail. Across Metro Detroit, several restaurants and bars are getting creative with peach-themed offerings that range from cocktails to mouthwatering dishes. Here’s a look at some of the best peach creations in the area…

AVENUE BRUNCH HOUSE

22075 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn

For a peach-covered dish that truly satisfies, head to Avenue Brunch House and try the Peach Cobbler Waffles. This indulgent breakfast dish features golden, fluffy waffles topped with a generous helping of sweet, spiced peach cobbler filling. You’ll find streusel, caramel, and candied walnuts too. The contrast between the warm peaches and the crisp waffle makes for a decadent morning treat that feels like dessert for breakfast. Finished with a drizzle of syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a dollop of whipped cream, these Peach Cobbler Waffles are a must-try for anyone who loves peaches and comfort food combined. While you’re visiting, try the loaded fries, wings with raspberry chipotle sauce, or the fried Brussels sprouts with Tahini dressing.

SUPERGEIL

Supergeil, known for its diverse dishes, inventive drinks, and lively atmosphere, brings peaches to the forefront of its menu. Three standout drinks that perfectly capture the peachy essence are the Peaches and Cream Fizz, It’s A Beautiful Morning, and Summer Buck. The Peaches and Cream Fizz features bourbon, lemon, heavy cream, and egg whites that blend fresh peach flavors with a creamy finish, making it a great choice for warm evenings. It’s A Beautiful Morning is a brunch feature, with vodka, lemon, and rose hibiscus soda. Meanwhile, the Summer Buck is spirit-free, and offers a refreshing take on peaches, combining them with lemon, mint, and ginger. As for brunch, the peach granola is a light choice, with flavors of hibiscus and cardamom among sweet yogurt, and perfect to pair with Moroccan beignets or cinnamon date rolls. 

DIME STORE

719 Griswold Street, Detroit

6920 North Rochester Road, Rochester Hills

At Dime Store, peach fans can enjoy a creative twist on brunch classics with their cocktails. Owner/Operator Ann-Marie Murphy shares, “While our menu has a variety of options to choose from, we’re known for our more creative dishes like the Duck Bop Hash and the Cheesesteak Benny. Our seasonal Chef’s specials are also great options and change regularly so there’s always something new to try. To complement a menu made nearly entirely in-house, we offer a full bar with craft beer, wine, and classic cocktails. At the Detroit location, you can find a peach mimosa that cocktail mixes the fruity sweetness of orange juice with bubbly peach champagne, making it an ideal companion to their savory dishes. In Rochester Hills, try the Peach Palmer, with vodka, peach, mint, lemon, and iced tea, or the Peach-Mint Mimosa with Josh Presecco. As for the mimosas, you can order them by glass or pitcher and share them with the table. They are a peach lover’s dream drink—light, bubbly, and bursting with flavor.

ALE MARY’S BEER HALL

316 South Main Street, Royal Oak

Ale Mary’s Beer Hall brings the magic of peaches to the savory side of things with their Fried Chicken Sliders. While not peach-centric at first glance, these sliders are topped with beer-pickled peaches, along with jalapeños and Baja sauce. The combination of crispy breaded chicken with the flavor profile of pickled peaches is an experience. It takes a typical fried chicken slider to the next level with an unexpected twist. Served up with beer-battered fries, pair these sliders with a seasonal beer, a favorite lager, or a new pale ale. If you’re looking for a starter to kick off your dining experience, I’d recommend Fried McClure’s Pickles, Fatty’s Final Beer Cheese Dip with pretzel bites, or Asian Sesame Wings. 

SISTA ROLES STREET EATS

23019 West Outer Drive, Allen Park

Sista Roles Street Eats, a viral sensation known for its massive egg rolls, has taken the peach dessert game to new heights with its Peach Cobbler Egg Roles. These egg rolls are filled with warm, spiced peach cobbler filling, wrapped in a crispy shell that perfectly balances texture and flavor, and drizzled with icing to top. Sista Roles is all about big, bold food, and the Peach Cobbler Egg Roles are no exception. They are a fun, portable version of the traditional peach cobbler, offering a creative twist that has become a favorite among customers. Whether you’re in the mood for a savory dish or a sweet treat, Sista Roles delivers flavor “bigger than a corn dog on a stick,” according to owner Portia Jackson.
