Red Ribbon Cake & Coffee Shop

Red Ribbon is under new management. Her name is Lyn. Lotsa filipino dishes to choose from. If you want a cake with a touch of filipino they have it «Ube cake». Its a one stop shop. You can send money and balikbayan box back home. If you miss filipino dishes this is the right place to go. Feel at home

You can get really authentic filipino food there. Sometimes the food hits the spot sometimes it does not. I ordered some turon here and I could taste that they reused the oil. it has a subtle taste of fish, which to me shouldnt be what banana spring rolls should taste like. Despite, there are a lot of dishes to select from.

You want somethng addictive or want to be a superhero at any party? Bring a 100 or more of their Filipino eggrolls (lumpia). You hve to preorder. Pork carrot and garlic inside.

Just an advise to customers — always ask for an itemized receipt when buying from this place. I heard that they have a tendency to either miscalculate or overcharge. I did not believe at first until I experienced this myself — not once, but 3 times. Why do I go back there? I only do because there are times I crave for Filipino food or turon and sometimes, its either the other Filipino restaurant nearby was closed or did not have what I needed and I already drove that way anyway. As much I did not want to, I decided to just swing by this place because I was already in the area anyway and did not want to go home empty-​handed. However, for the last 3 times, I asked for a an itemized receipt. Each time, and without fail, they could not give me an itemized receipt because the cash register machine was either not working or did not have ink. I insisted on a handwritten itemized receipt and again, without fail, they would end up refunding me some amount (between .25 cents — $ 3.00) because the amount they charged on my credit card prior to handwriting the itemized receipt DID NOT MATCH up. In short, the amount that they add on the cash register (with paper but no ink supposedly) is different from what they actually charge on the credit card. Therefore, to be safe, always, always ask for an itemized receipt to make sure you are being charged the right amount. This is based on my own experience and I have my latest receipt to show how the credit card charge was different than the itemized charges and they end up refunding me the discrepancy each time. Needless to say, I will not be going back there… except perhaps to find out if the issue has been corrected.

Keep coming here for one thing and one thing only and that is the Mocha Cakes. Sometimes they are awesome and taste great and sometimes they are just sad and dry. If I had a recipe for these cakes I would just make them myself but until then I’ll take my chance. I would give 4 stars for the cakes if I didn’t get the dry ones every so often.
This place also serves hot Filipino food (eat in or take out) and sells grocery items… a very small shop but packed with a lot of stuff/

I don’t know. I came here when my Filipino friends came up to visit. Thought it’d be a great chance to be introduced to everything. Store was very small and cramp. Tiny counter in the back serving hot food and some sweets in fridge and counter. Selection was very limited. But since it was our first time, we got everything. I guess the owners speak the same dialect. They were going on about something. Anyways. Bought a fried tilapia and one of those pork thing (deep fried it looks) and chicken adobo and some ube and sponge bread with cheese and sugar on top. Came out under $ 20. Sadly on our way out we notice sweets in the fridge… went to grab more. Ube paste, cassava bread, some round bits of white rice cupcake and brown ones. I forgot the names my friend called them by. My fave was only the ube paste… as was the other 4 adults with me. The pork was way too fatty for me. I didn’t see enough meat. I think I prefer the Chinese roast pork better. Fried fish… never seems to taste as good as how mom/​me makes it. I’m very OCD when it comes to cleaning them so there’s no foul flavor interrupting my eating. I also season it with salt before frying so there’s more flavor. It just didn’t do it for me here.
We drove pretty far to try the place. It wasn’t worth it when all of us had better from Goldielocks in Cali.
Since it’s really hard to find good Filipino food in MI… I bump it to 3 stars.

I have two words for you: ONION COOKIES. Yes, you read that right. Onion cookies. They are deliciousness. Yes, Red Ribbon has several different pastries that are yummy goodness, but these cookies are what has me coming back. The owner is the sweetest ever and always makes me laugh. I’m hooked for life!
