Black sesame latte
Justin P.

Went to Ondo while visiting Ann Arbor. It was a beautiful place with excellent coffee and pastries. So many options to choose from and the staff were very friendly.

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!

got a strawberry New York roll to go - wow, absolutely delicious! Loved that strawberry flavor, and the roll was pretty filled. Very aesthetic as well! Busy spot but lots of places to sit. Clearly very popular - excited to return and try some other items.

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.

They are ok

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

Sea Salt Caramel Cream Latte (iced)
Reganne A.

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
Candace W.

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.

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.

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!

Cute inside

I like Drip House. I'm happy it's here. However, I don't know if I would be coming much if there…read morewas another coffee shop within a short walking distance. The main thing Drip House has going for it is that it is effectively the only coffee spot to sit and study or meet someone right by the stadium (where a bunch of us live and/or work). It is also open into the early evening when a lot of other coffee spots aren't. And we do love an outside seating option. The service has always been just fine and it's a pretty cute spot (not to sound ridiculously nit-picky but while we're here--someone might wanna sheer some of the many dead leaves off the beautiful plant inside though). Also, the banana oat latte they had as a special a couple months ago was delicious. So yummy. Some things I don't love about Drip House: the blue chairs. So uncomfortable. It is expensive and, dare I say, overpriced. The first time I got my $14 piece of ricotta toast, it was delicious. And I figured, fine. It's $14 for a piece of bread with a little cheese and jam but it's so yummy, I'll splurge every once in a while and go with it. Plus, I can't eat tree nuts, so it is one of the few options for me. However, the second time I got it, it was most definitely not worth it. The "whipped" ricotta was just a sad, thin wet layer and there was practically no jam. I get it. It's expensive out here. We're living in the shadows of the avocado toast economy where espresso drinks cost minimum $7 and you effectively can't buy anything for less than $4. But just because you feel like you *can* doesn't mean you *should.* Paying $14 for a piece of bread.... Come on. It's insulting. It feels exploitative. Will i be going back? Yes, because of the proximity and sometimes a girl needs to go for a cute little walk to get a coffee--just to feel something. Would I if there was a competing coffee shop nearby? That remains to be seen. Also the size of the "large" iced drink. Come on guys.

Visited Ann Arbor over the weekend and this place is very close to my friend's house! It's also…read morenext door to Evergreen, a place I will need to try on my next visit! There's plenty of parking but it does get quite busy on Saturday morning/noon. The place is pretty narrow and small. The offerings are nice but there were not many flaky pastries. I'm used to the huge glass case varieties from Tous les jours or Paris Baguette and love the flaky pastries or novelties the best! Yoon's was bread and bun heavy and their prices overall were higher (if you can believe it!). I did try this Cloud cake $6.50 that was out of this world good but the strawberry jam part was too sweet. The hazelnut cream sandwich loaf (3 small servings) was so beans good with my favorite type of cream that only Asian bakeries can get right! My only complaint is more cream, please!

Despite there being a few options for Korean pastries in AA, I love that Yoon's is still quite busy…read moreand seem to be thriving! I saw an ad for a Grain Latte (mi-su-ga-ru) and was so curious how it would taste. I haven't noticed it anywhere else (other Korean bakeries), so had to make a trip just for the drink, along with their other goodies. Omg, from the first sip, I was transported back to my childhood. I used to drink the multigrain drink that would come in powder form. But this drink was elevated by the espresso. What a perfect combo! Now this latte isn't sweet, so if you are looking for sweet, this won't be the drink for you. I had my hubs try it out and said he could taste espresso with an aftertaste of the grains- not something he would order, himself. But I'm definitely going to! He ordered the pistachio latte and I could tell it's very different from other ps's I've had from Monday Coffee Club or from Yemeni coffee houses. It definitely has that light, Korean, nutty taste that isn't strong. The baked goodie, I'm happy to say, has expanded and they offer so much more than they did since my last review. They've added a few nice tables and chairs, so you don't have to leave to enjoy your pastries or coffee, unless there's no spots. Highly recommend Y if you enjoy desserts that's not too sweet.
