"Keefer Court, the enduring Chinese bakery that Sunny and Paulina Kwan first opened in Minneapolis’s Cedar Riverside neighborhood in 1983, has reopened at Eden Prairie’s Asia Mall under new owners Michael and Mai Bui and Peter Do. The Kwans have passed all of Keefer’s pastry recipes — for Hong Kong-style pineapple and coconut cream buns, silky egg tarts, lotus and red bean cakes, and savory meat or tofu-stuffed buns — onto the new guard, who’ve painstakingly recreated them. New to the menu are Vietnamese desserts like cendol (a pandan jelly dessert), and chè ba mau (a sweet tri-color bean dessert), plus Vietnamese iced coffee." - Stacy Brooks
"The bakery, operated by one of the partners (Michael Bui, Mai Bui, and Peter Do), is part of the group that partnered with the owners of Eden Prairie’s Asia Mall to plan a new north-suburbs shopping center and food-hall destination, anticipated to open in Blaine’s Northtown Mall in 2025." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Keefer Court Bakery—the enduring Chinese bakery opened by Sunny and Paulina Kwan in 1983—has returned under new owners at Eden Prairie’s Asia Mall offering Hong Kong–style pineapple buns, silky egg tarts, Vietnamese desserts like chè ba mau, and Vietnamese iced coffee." - Justine Jones
