QQ Cafe & Bakery

I love this little place! They have a great selection of all sorts of baked goods and their bubble tea/​drink menu is fairly extensive.
Some of the highlights that I’ve tried so far are the bbq pork buns, the mini coconut tarts (taste like macaroons), and the butter rolls. The butter rolls are by far my favorite and make amazing little sandwiches.
I’ve not had any of their bubble tea, but I’m sure I“ll be back to try it soon!

This place was delicious, we orders the mango, honey dew melon, and papaya smoothies with tapioca pearls and they were great. They have the tapioca recipe down. A lot of places will loose the nutty flavor of the pears but they did it right here. We also tried some pastries, one of them being the steamed pork bun. It was soft, sticky, and sweet with the pork prices bursting with BBQ flavor. Def worth the drive and the staff was great too. Will chatted with us a while and we wish them the best!

Majority of their bakeries ok. But DON’T buy their red bean bo lo baos (red bean filling bread) they barely have any red beans, I’ve never been to a Chinese bakery such small portion of red bean.

It does not get any better than this
Whatever you buy is going to be great
Get here by noon as they make enough for the day, after that most of the good stuff is gone
CASH ONLY… which is cool
There is an ATM across the street in case you are short
Also the owners are Malaysian not Chinese
Not be be nit-​picky, but they bake their pastries and make Boba-​Tea a little different than other shops. I think it tastes better. Very friendly people without the surly attitude you get at Chinese run places

Again, this is in the context of Michigan. This is probably the best boba I’ve had in the area. Although it is powder-​based, the powders are most reminiscent of the flavor it represents. I got taro the two times I went, so I’m unsure if the other flavors available accomplish this.
It’s cash only, but at $ 2.75 a drink, that’s a steal for the area! Goldfish tea in Royal Oak is about 5, and I believe Blossom Café in Rochester is about $ 3.50.
I also appreciate the sealed top cup — it’s how most boba places serve the drink! Goldfish tea and Blossom Café don’t stay true to this.
All in all, get your boba tea/​bubble tea fix here for those in the Metro Detroit Area!

I should preface this review by explaining that I’ve lived in Toronto, Canada for over 20 years where Chinese/​Cantonese style French bakeries are plentiful and therefore the quality is high due to the amount of competition.
It was a Sunday afternoon and I drove 50 minutes into Madison Heights to see what this place was all about. Finally, I found QQ Bakery in a little plaza next to several Vietnamese stores and Liang’s BBQ. The front of the store was small and some end-​of-​the-​day product was on display but a small line was forming to purchase their cakes, smoothies, and milk teas.
I quickly grabbed a tray and a pair of tongs and proceeded to pick out some items. Boy was it slim pickings. While the pineapple buns looked fine, the puff pastry and sesame balls left little to be desired as they looked stale and soggy. I grabbed one of their «new products» which was a savory bun with cut up hot dog as well as a mocha roll and mango mousse from their cold display.
As I was lining up to pay, a regular came in with his kids and exchanged pleasantries with a male behind the counter (likely the owner’s son). One of the kids drops all three pairs of tongs onto the dirty floor where people were lined up. There was no doubt that everyone saw and heard this happening but it was business as usual. The soiled tongs were picked up off the dirty floor and returned to the tray area next to the baked goods and nobody seemed to care (including the owner’s son and other workers behind the counter). Disgusting!
Until they change their health standards, I won’t be going back soon (or, at least, don’t tell me where you bought it from).

Tried this place for the first time tonight and it’s really a cute little bakery. Their cakes were adorable! We got the walnut cookie which was good but a lite too hard. We also got a pineapple pastry which wasn’t that good. However, the reason we went was for the bubble tea! And it is amazing! We got the green tea and black tea. Definitely a fan!

I love this place. Streamed pork buns are one of my favorite things ever and the ones they make here are great. They have numerous Asian pastry options, various cakes, and bubble teas (I go with the frozen honeydew with tapioca balls… Mmmmm). Never disappointed.
CASH ONLY

Love their bread! So many choices, and very reasonable price-​about $ 1 per bread. Just like the bread I had in China. The bubble tea is delicious, my husband worried about the powder they used though. Cash only!

Their bubble teas are on point!
They’re also Cash-​Only, so make sure you have enough because I’m sure you’ll spend a lot. Everything in there looks yummy!

Aside from the cakes, there are plenty of things that are delish here. The steam buns, the rice cakes and the boba tea is out of this world. It’ll make you wanna go HAM on a mother-​shutyamouth.
Let’s get to the good stuff why don’t we. The cakes are pretty much the focal point of everybody that comes here. I’m sure you’ve seen their cakes at a party at one time or another. It’s that pretty cake with the real fruit decorations. The icing is good as well, not so overwhelmingly sweet. It somehow seems like it’s sugar free. Remember one thing, not every cake is gonna look the same, nor will it carry the same fruit due to the availability.
**hint**
if you see that mango cake, grab it before someone else does.
***hint***
If you come here, bring cash, cause that’s how they’ve done it ever since. Their cakes are that good, and I will keep buying my cakes here because it’s just the right thing to do.
Life is short, stop eating lackluster cakes.

Weeeeeeeeeee

I go to Asian bakeries for one thing, and one thing only… The BBQ pork bun or the occasional custard tart. I’ve had them in China and at countless china towns in Chicago, Sacramento, New York and Toronto to say I know a thing or two about my childhood favorite. So here’s my review:
QQ: You have big buns (that can not lie) but they lack flavor and are a bit dry. I end up purchasing your chicken buns because they are better in taste. Buns buns buns. Eh you’re okay, but I had better.

For sweets, drinks, and cakes, this is the place!
I’m here every Sunday I come down to Madison Heights. The pastries are fresh in the mornings and delicious. My favorite is the ham/​egg/​mayo bun — great for a quick breakfast or snack. The bubble teas are refreshing — I recommend the Jasmine Green Tea, tastes milky and flowery :) Awesome! For birthdays, consider one of the Chinese cakes. They are not too sweet, fluffy, and full of fruit. I got the mango one for a group of friends that had never tasted Chinese cake, and they absolutely loved it! The family that owns the shop is very kind as well.

I totally LOVE their frozen watermelon frosty drinks, but they always seem to be out. The banana works as well for a fresh fruit flavor. Their pastries are alright, I like the bbq pork ones and the mini coconut pies the most.
I’m going to try another time for a watermelon drink, if they are out again that will me like 5 strikes.

Pretty good prices and variety. Better than taipan bakery near by. The bubble tea was a bit too sweet. I would recommend 168 for your 1 stop market. They have groceries, bakery and bubble tea. They also accept card.

Love QQ! In my personal opinion, they have the best bubble tea and it’s the cheapest around! They also have black tea so for those who are having a hard time looking for black tea, QQ is the place. Their pastries compliment the drinks very well. Not expensive at all and it’s delicious. If you plan on stopping here, do being cash. They don’t have an ATM and do not accept credit cards.

This is great! We were in the area to get some Vietnamese food and we decided to look for Asian bakery stores, and came across QQ through Unilocal.Most little pastry items are between $ 0.90 to a dollar and change. So far I’ve tried the coconut red bean, which was pretty good. It had a thin outer layer of coconut powder and a decently thick layer of a white (rice?) cake that covered up the red bean. The other one I tried was the custard bun. Great! Unfortunately I had the custard when it wasn’t fresh (I microwaved it to soften it after stored in the fridge), but it was still wonderful. Good bun to custard ratio, and a hint of lime to it, which I did not expect.
I also had a slush drink ($ 3, +$ 0.50 for tapioca pearls). I wanted the green apple but they were out of it. Then I asked for strawberry. He accidentally (probably mind lapse) made a mango one, which I told him it was fine he didn’t have to remake anything. The mango was delicious, and the tapioca/​boba was fine as well.
I’ll definitely be back with the girlfriend when in the area. I’d really like to try one of their cakes too… maybe for her birthday (shh!).
TIP: CASH ONLY!

Next to the very convenient grocery store my parents love shopping at is this amazing little bakery + bubble tea café! First off the baked goods are so cheap (AND TASTY!), and so is the bubble tea ($ 2.75) compared to other places. I was also happy to find that they do black milk tea here because you won’t find this option anywhere else in or near Detroit. About 14 people can fit in there, so clearly it isn’t very spacious but I figure it’s a nice grab n go type of café anyways. I’m not sure what the name is of the baked good I got, but the filling and coconut flakes on it make it absolutely delicious, not to mention how soft and fulfilling it is!
Love this place! Giving it a ⁴⁄₅ only because I wish they had seating areas. Aside from that, this café deserves a 5!

The best time to visit this place is early in the morning when the pastries are freshly baked & you can still see the steam coming out of them.
For a $ 1 per pastry, this place is a steal! Also considering the area, this bakery is not bad at all. I am in love with their chicken BBQ bun, shredded pork bun w/​mayo & their eggs tarts. I just love how fluffy the dough is. The cashier is friendly to a certain extent.
I will not ever purchase the curry sandwich again. The meat was stale and it has a funky after taste. No bueno.
Be careful driving in this shopping plaza. During busy hours, it can get quite hectic to even find a parking spot! The traffic in this plaza is no joke.
PS: Cash only!

Probably the best Asian bakery I’ve been to! I went around 6−7pm and they were out of a lot of things but still had a large variety of things to pick from.
I got: scallion and ham bun (by far my favorite item here!!!) custard bun, two peanut things that had a crazy texture, some type of super fulffy cream filled cake, almond croissant, hot dog bun, two coconut tarts that were awesome! Everything was very good but my absolute favorites were the coconut tarts and scallion bun! That sucker was amazing!
As far as drinks, I got the iced black boba tea and a watermelon flurry. Both were delish I would get them both again! The watermelon had actual watermelon in it and didn’t taste artificial at all. Very refreshing and crave worthy :) bobas were cooked perfectly too! Yummmm
