    Very busy and nice, clean aesthetic. Definitely just. Strawberry New York roll was very creamy, chewy and sweet. Didn't taste artificial at all like most bakeries. The count latte was decent as well. Helpful and kind staff as well, despite it being so busy!

    Happy to report that I've (finally) come back to try the black sesame latte (sub almond milk) and WOW is this a decadent treat. The sweet black sesame foam is so nutty and candy like. It mixes well into the coffee for a dessert/treat like beverage. Probably not the drink to put on regular rotation, but will absolutely come for this specially! No pastries this time, but they look stunning and unique, per usual.

    Ondo is in a prime location, with a lot of foot traffic on Main Street in the heart of University of Michigan's main campus. When I visited on a Sunday morning there was a long line out the door. There are plenty of savory and sweet baked goods to choose from. Some are both savory and sweet like the croissant rolls with a sweet filling and topping. The pastry items in the case are beautifully made. Ondo is fairly priced for the size of its baked goods which are on the larger side compared to other bakeries in Ann Arbor. I was accidentally overcharged for several items. I had a digital receipt to provide and the cafe was receptive and gave me a refund.

    Almost the same as a Tours le jours but worse. Problem about European/Asian bakery is that they are not good enough to represent either side. Crossiants are burnt as u can see in my picture. Egg tarts are nothing special,tart crust is kinda soggy. Bread are ok, same type of bread everywhere. It seems to be popular and the cafe does look nice. I do think it is overrated.

    First off, the Biscoff iced coffee is absolutely amazing - definitely a must-try. I stopped by around 5 pm on a Sunday, and most of the baked goods and pastries were already sold out, so I'd recommend visiting earlier in the day if you want the full selection. I also tried the strawberry matcha, which I usually order at every new coffee shop I go to, but unfortunately it wasn't great here. Overall, the vibe and experience were good, but I did have one awkward moment - when I asked for a sip lid instead of a straw lid, one of the baristas was unexpectedly rude about it, and said "no!" to my request....which caught me off guard lol

    I've been here enough that I feel like I'm finally able to write an honest review on the variety of food and drinks! This is probably my favorite coffee shop in Ann Arbor and am constantly recommending it to my friends, so I wanted to share my review of the scene, food, and drinks! This is a great place to go if you are meeting someone, but I probably would not study here during the day. Tables can be hard to get, especially around 1-5p during the week or anytime on the weekend. It's also very packed! If noise is an issue to you, get your drink and go! As a Korean inspired bakery, it has a huge amount of interesting foods and flavors. I have tried their Garlic Bread and New York rolls. Think of the roll like a crispy, sweet, crescent roll filled with cream. It's great, but very filling, I often split one with a friend. As for drinks, my go-to is the Iced Sea Salt Caramel Cream Latte, however the Biscoff Latte is a close second. For people wondering about the sweetness level, everything is very sweet and strong. I've also had the Passionfruit Refresher. Honestly, it wasn't my favorite, but I'm glad I tried it. I wasn't impressed with the flavor, it seemed watered down and kind of separated. I struggled with whether to give 4 or 5 stars, but decided on 4 because of the refresher and a warning for those who don't like overly sweet things. I would highly recommend getting coffee if you are going to go. I can't speak to the matcha because I haven't tried it but it seems extremely popular and there's always matcha orders being made! I will have to try and update this review once I have...just hard for me to stray away from my regular order!

    I've been coming to this spot for years. Ondo has the best coconut cream latte! Be sure to get it hot though! They use coconut oil. :) Located on State Street between Liberty & Williams, it's very accessible by foot. You grab your tray, liner, and tongs when you walk in & have a beautiful variety of baked goods to choose from before you get to the coffee ordering counter. They cash you out and wait at the end of the counter for your specialty drinks to get whipped up quickly! The space is clean & cozy, great for socializing or studying! There are tables to sit outside and enjoy the weather & the delicious eats. Be sure to swing through Ondo when on U of M Campus!

    Strawberry New York roll

    Came here with some friends and had a good time. Service was quick even though there was a long line. The inside is cute but the tables were dirty from past customers, we had to wipe it off ourselves when we sat down. The strawberry New York roll was delicious! Never had anything like it. Has a strawberry frosting filling. My friend thought her strawberry matcha tasted like the green part of the strawberry :( and my friend got the cloud cream matcha and said it was super sweet. Overall: decent food and drinks, cute cafe, great location, but not the best cafe I've ever been to.

    Super cute bakery! Wish we had something like this in Lansing. It was very busy for a warm spring afternoon. Average price per pastry is probably $4. I would totally come back when there's less people!

    It's a beautiful cafe and their pastries are top notch. I wish I could try every single thing here.

    Shoutout to my foodie friend and fellow Elite Tiffany S. for recommending Ondo Bakery & Cafe! I was so excited upon walking in because it was just like the cafes we visited in Seoul! Very bright and airy, and way more spacious than I was expecting, with lots of seating for eating, studying, and hanging out with friends. The pastries are self-serve, so after we took a look around, we grabbed a tray and some tongs and tried to restrain ourselves from picking every item we saw. They had a huge selection of sweet and savory pastries, so it was really tough to narrow down our selection. We picked a strawberry New York roll, an Earl Grey doughnut, and a matcha scone. Each item is labeled by name only, so it is a fun adventure if there's something unfamiliar. Once you're ready, take your tray to the counter and order any drinks. I got the black sesame latte, iced at the employee's recommendation. Our drinks came out quickly and they arrange them alphabetically by name like they do at Starbucks (bonus points for taking my name). The black sesame latte was SO good - super creamy, nutty, and just the right level of sweet. I want to drink this every day. The pastries were all delicious but my favorite was definitely the New York roll - it's basically a circular, filled croissant with some icing. It was crispy and flaky, sweet but not too sweet, and I want to try every flavor! (They had at least 8 different flavors.) Apparently this is a viral thing that started in NYC and I hope to see them make their way to GR! It wasn't too crowded in the pastry area when we were there, but it was also during U of M's spring break. I could see it getting packed! I asked if this is a chain, and they said it's not - it is a local Korean owned business and they make all their pastries in house. Amazing! I loved this taste of Seoul right in Michigan and can't wait to stop in again next time I'm in town.

    First of all, I hate the parking situation here, drive around for a good 10 minutes to even find a spot. Place wasn't too busy when I came here, tried a matcha latte and a matcha pastry. The latte was good, next time I worn eh adding the strawberry foam, it kind of made the latte taste a bit like a latte mixed with a smoothie. I wasn't too big of a fan of the foam part. The matcha itself was amazing tasting! The matcha pastry was soooo good, can't remember the name of it but it was a round "croissant" filled with a matcha cream, wow! So so good, would definitely recommend those. The inside was pretty quiet, cute decorated and plenty of tables.

    I saw this place on TikTok and I finally got to check them out! It's very similar to Tous Les Jour with almost the same layout. Even some of the pastries are the same, but they do have a larger selection of sweets. Especially the formerly viral cream filled croissant rolls. They were good, but a little way too sweet, but maybe it's also because my preference has changed to more savory foods. Overall, it's a nice cafe to have on a college campus.

You order at the counter then they seat you. The atmosphere is very cozy, rustic and cool. You can imagine being in a commercial almost. Service was friendly all visits. Food selections are brunch focused with breakfast favorites like traditional breakfast, breakfast burrito, Pancakes, and more. There are some sandwiches as well. Food quality was good for most items we had over the visits with just a few average (not bad but not great). They stop by for coffee refills and whatever you need. Definitely worth a try! It's become a go to place for us.

    My friend had high praise for Spencer, so I was excited to try it out when I was in Ann Arbor. My…read morefriends and I arrived 10 min before they opened for brunch and there was no wait, though the restaurant filled up quickly behind us. The space is rustic and simple, with fresh cut flowers on the tables. A majority of the walls were occupied by floor to ceiling racks of wine, as that is their award-winning product. Their brunch menu changes weekly and is extremely tight and cohesive. My party ordered the entire food menu sans olives (2/3rds of us don't like them), and two plates of the potato pelmeni. My thoughts below: Amaro Apertivo: mocktail based on the namesake dessert wine. This tasted like candy but not too sweet, and we enjoyed it a lot. Lovage soda: Google told me that lovage is an herb that tastes like citrus and celery. I am a huge fan of drinks with a twist, and I'd say that celery is a pretty big one! Crisp and not too sweet, the citrus flavor definitely balanced the Celery, and both flavors kept the soda fresh and crisp. This was great paired with the rest of the herbaceous menu and balanced out the richness of some later dishes, though it's not necessarily something I would enjoy by itself without appropriate accompaniment. Pickled egg, fried shallot, dill: I had only heard of pickled eggs in the context of strange British food on YouTube, so I was a little hesitant about this dish. The concept of an egg floating in vinegar brine is a bit off-putting, but once I powered through that mental roadblock, I found myself enjoying this bite. The egg is perfectly cooked with a slightly jammy yolk, and the shallots added a much needed crunch. Dill enhanced the pickled taste while cutting through the richness of the fried shallots and yolk. Sourdough focaccia, whipped butter: Never in my life have I ever made focaccia this tall. This focaccia was raised by a loving family and nurtured to develop a golden, non-greasy, crisp crust protecting its tender, pillowy innards. The classic sourdough tang is a novel addition to each bite, and cuts through the creamy, whipped butter to keep me wanting more. I could eat a whole pan of this alone, but we had many more plates to sample. Saucisson sec salami, pickled carrot: This is a simple, charming, carb-free mini charcuterie; place a slice of salami, some of the mozzarella (next dish on this list, below), and its oil atop a pickled carrot base, and you are in for a perfectly balanced treat. My favorite part of this dish is the fact that the salami was incredibly savory, and not too salty. The more you chew it, the more the flavors express themselves, so be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly! The crunch of the crisp, dill-pickled carrot and the soft chewiness of the mozzarella give each bite a lot of good contrast. Mozzarella, green garlic oil: Fresh, hand-stretched mozzarella is something that even I, a notorious cheese-hater, can't say no to. It is not sharp or funky at all, nor is it too salty. Most of the flavor comes from the green garlic and olive oil smothering each bite. Fresh and floral with a little bite, this was delicious with the salami and carrot above. Potato pelmeni, asparagus green adjika, sour cream: Given the portion size of the previous dishes (small, tapas vibes), we were not expecting the platter full of double carb heaven that met our eyes. And we ordered two!!! This is a gorgeous dish with plump, quarter-sized pelmeni nestled in a vibrant green asparagus and herb sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was a classic comfort dish with a verdant twist! The pelmeni were stuffed full of creamy potato, and the dough was cooked perfectly al dente for a satisfying, pillowy bite. The sauce was homey but packed with zippy flavor and tender asparagus. The major feedback I have for this dish is that it was way too salty, to the point where the flavor was a tad too sharp because of it. Lettuces, radish, pumpkin seed, caraway vinaigrette: It was through this dish that I found out what caraway tastes like and through this dish that I figured out that I'm not a caraway fan. The lettuces were bitter and when combined with the slightly medicinal caraway taste, wasn't for me. The crunch of the radish and the nutty pumpkin seeds were great in this dish though! Fennel cornmeal biscotti, rhubarb compote, cream: This was a single biscotti with generous dollops of compote and cream. We were quite full when this dish was set in front of us, so I was frankly relieved for the small portion size. The fennel in the biscotti paired wonderfully with the tart rhubarb, and the rich cream rounded things out nicely without tipping into cloying territory. The savory cornmeal complimented the fennel and provided additional depth of flavor. A great small bite to end on! Overall, Spencer's strong fundamentals allow them to take risks with in-season local produce. Some things worked for me and some didn't, but I would love to come back to see what they can create next!
