In a few months the owners of Dearborn’s Roma Bakery will share their reputable products with a new community when they launch a second location in Ann Arbor.

Throughout the decades different owners assumed operation and never changed the name. Roma Bakery carries a wide variety of mini pies, various types of breads including zaatar and cheese, family size pizza, pepperoni rolls, hummus, tabouli, desserts and tea biscuits among other items.
