Adorable Japanese pastries, bread, cakes & Taiwanese milk teas
"Moose Pastry & Tea stepped in to fill the big shoes of Pastry House Hippo last winter. The new ownership is carrying on the tradition of adorable Japanese-style pastries such as custard-filled turtle bread and matcha-red bean buns. The bakery has also added an extensive list of Taiwanese milk teas to its repertoire." - Serena Maria Daniels
"A Taiwanese bakery run by chef Douglas Chou, Moose Tea & Pastry is a jewel in Novi. The pastries oscillate between savory and sweet — including the yakisoba dog (stir-fried noodles in a hot dog bun), deep fried hot dog, pork floss bun, and a selection of sweet buns like the red wine raisin. There’s even a delicious tiramisu. In addition to tea, Moose also serves coffee and customers can order whole cakes, too." - Danny Palumbo
"A Japanese-inspired bakery run by Taiwanese chef Douglas Chou that mixes inventive savory and sweet bites: deep-fried hot dog buns, a bao croquette filled with fried mashed potatoes, vegetables, and hoisin, raisin bread made with red wine and sesame, a matcha-and-red-bean bun, and an indulgent yakisoba dog (stir-fried noodles in a hot dog bun). The standout is a restrained pork-floss bun—soft, squishy bread dusted in salty pork floss and filled with a sweet, custardy, mayo-like center that recalls a Thaimoo yong sandwich (think bologna, pork floss, and sweet custard), while the croquette is crunchy and savory in a refreshingly sandwich-like way." - Eater Staff
