Purchased a mango cake for a friend's birthday event. Place came highly recommended from a neighbor. I never would have known about this business without the recommendation. Everyone enjoyed the cake - not too sweet, plenty of fruit $40 cash only. Not the cleanest place in the world- but not too bad
quaint chinese bakery with lots of yummy treats and eats - all freshly made daily. incredible smells. my favorite was the coconut cream. so so good!!! check out this bakery for a delicious goodie :)
Best Mango cake ever!! I bought this to bring to a party and everyone loved the cake! It is not very sweet and super soft with fresh fruit. Definitely will be buying this again.
Love this place! It's cash only, so come prepared- most things range from $2-4 a piece. The pork buns were right out of the oven- they were warm & so soft. The pork is pretty sweet, but it's one of my favorite cheap eats in Michigan. Can't beat it for $2. The employees are very friendly and service is great- it's all to go. They also have bubble tea and ramen that both looked good
Most buns/pastries are $1.80 and much larger than typical ones from a Chinese bakery. The pineapple bun, for example, is probably at least 50% larger than normal. The little bags they put each piece into are filled to the brim - I'm actually not sure how they get them in the bags without squishing anything! All of the buns we got were quite good. Pineapple Bun, Custard Bun, Danish Bun - All 3 use the same pineapple bun base. The danish bun had some kind of starchy sweet and salty paste inside. The custard bun has pretty standard custard inside. The cookie topping could be more flaky and crumbly, but all three were still good. Taro Bun - This is the same size as the pineapple bun and has a good amount of taro paste inside. Sesame Ball - Filled with a mung bean paste instead of the more common red bean paste. Ube Cake Slice - I expected it to all be artificially flavored, but there were two layers of what seems to be real ube paste. Certainly unexpected and delicious! Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba - Unlike everything else, the drinks here are quite bad. I believe they use a powdered milk tea base and as a result the drink is extremely sweet and has a chalky texture. The boba is overcooked and has an unpleasant texture. I do not recommend getting boba from QQ.
QQ is one of the best bakeries in metro Detroit. It's a quintessential Asian bakery. So many Asian treats are here that can't be found anywhere else. My favorites are the Fried Pork Bun and the Peanut Snowball. They also have Asian drinks, moon cakes, Japanese cheesecake by the slice, beautiful cakes, coconut cream buns, and more. The owners are friendly. Lastly, QQ is a cash-only establishment. A must-visit when in Madison Heights.
Doesn't look like much when you pass by, but don't sleep on it. This is an Asian bakery, or a Chinese bakery to be more specific. Fun fact, QQ is the term used to describe certain texture in Asian food--a nice chewiness that makes you want more. If you browse around the store, you will see how Chinese bakery items differ from Western bakery or even Japanese/Korean bakery. Some of the specialties include roast pork bun, pineapple crusted bun (which does not contain pineapple but has an outer crust in a criss cross design resembling a pineapple), glutinous sesame ball, mochi (filled with peanut or red bean, covered in coconut), coconut cream bun (milk bun split in the middle and filled with cream). Even the cake looks different than cakes in Western bakery. I usually like Asian bakeries' cakes better because they're mostly less sweet. The price is SO cheap, with most items costing not more than $2. The staffs are very hospitable. The items are delicious! I will always look forward to come back and try more stuffs from here
It's small on the inside and it can get crowded if there's more than 5 people inside. The food is still amazing and their cakes are delicious. I don't know anywhere else that sells cakes like these but they remind me so much of California. My other favorite from them is the coconut & whip cream bun. Tastes fresh all the time. I think it could be family owned but either way, good customer service since the first time I walked in.
FYI - CASH ONLY!! My family has been coming here since the early 2000s for Chinese pastries and cakes. QQ was also one of the first cafes to sell boba (or "bubble tea" back in the day) even if it was overly sweet and not fantastic, HAHA. Overall, my experiences here have been mostly good but have had a few bad incidents. But then again, I've been coming here for 15 or so years, so it's reasonable. I've always liked the pastries and baked goods here! They're pretty cheap and good quality, so my review is for the last couple pastries I've had recently. I'm glad I was able to bring them past airport security so I can enjoy them in the DC area until I devour all of them. DRY PORK BUN - 1.80 These buns are huge! I know they're usually known as "Pork Floss". I love the soft and chewy texture of the buns. There's a good amount of pork floss and cream that makes it a mostly savory, yet sweet pastry. This is tasty to eat in the morning for breakfast. I'd highly recommend this bun! It's a classic. ROASTED PORK BUN - 1.80 Another large bun that is almost the size of my face. I had one of these and thought it was not bad. I'm not a huge fan of the roast pork filling, though. It's good, but not fantastic. Definitely a good quantity for the price, but I'd be happier eating the dry pork bun. Overall, a great recent experience while I was home. Baked goods here are affordable and delicious.
Great Chinese pastry shop with a plethora of traditional selections. I recommend the strong Viet style brew iced coffee ( milk and sugar added). The buns all share the the challah sweet-like bread as a base. The pork buns are a crowd pleaser. I love that I was able to find the rice cakes and taro filling. I was hoping the raisin twist would be more croissant-like. Smoothies and bubble teas are available. Former by mixes. I never ordered the cakes, but if they are similar to any other Chinese bakeries, it has fruit topping, whip cream frosting and sponge cake.
