Ondo Bakery

Stopped by an hour before closing, so couldn’t try everything — but what we did try? So worth it! 🍰 The mango pastry was an absolute winner — melt-in-your-mouth delicious, couldn’t stop eating! Tried the tiramisu latte and matcha cloud cream latte too — both were good, though not as magical as the pastry. The cake was lovely, almond croissant was just okay. Definitely going back for a full tasting session!

Complete 360 since we were here last year, the place was thriving yet under renovations at that time and this year it is finished and booming! Tried an iced vanilla latte and a blueberry danish, which was more like my own personal blueberry danish pie, definitely big enough to share and absolutely exquisite; and with so many pastries to choose from, you will come back to try them all. The coffee was creamy and smooth, without being overly sweet. Honestly, these ladies know what they are doing, a must visit if you are in the Ann Arbor area, especially if you want to support a small business, instead of getting the same ol’ coffee with you-know-who.

It’s fine, the pastries were good but they unfortunately did not have matcha. It was a very nice ambiance and the family loved it. However, it reminded me of 82 degrees or Paris baguette and there’s always a long line. The garlic bread was good and the hojicha was also good as well.

The food was way to sweet but the cool design where you pick your own food on trays was fun. Long line and kinda understaffed. Nice for adults tho, not really kids

I was super excited to try this place. We spent about $50 between drinks and pastries. I got matcha tiramisu that’s as dry as Sahara desert. I also tried the strawberry matcha drink and the matcha didn’t seem to be mixed well. My whole family agree that the pastries also did not seem fresh as they were so dry. The strawberry on the cake seems like it was left out for hours. We definitely still prefer the Yoon’s bakery in north campus or Tour Les Jours.

It’s a fun help yourself bakery at the front and a place to order coffee in the back. The wait for the coffee and cash register got rather backed up, but the service was wonderful and everyone was smiling along the rush. The pastries are pretty solid. The red bean paste with matcha cream bun was perfectly fluffy with that perfect paste. It was a terrific bite. The croissant with matcha filling was also really good. The croissant itself a little stale, but cream and chop ate cover were great balance and made the dough issue negligible. The inside is a very gen z oriented look. Very simplistic with good lighting and aesthetic greenery. I would definitely recommend this for a study break treat.

It is a bit expensive, but it is delicious enough to be worth the money. In particular, the cream in the bread is so rich and protein-rich that I thought they didn't skimp on the ingredients. I highly recommend it.

It’s…fine. Didn’t feel like I wasted my money but there’s certainly better places in town (Tous Les Jours and Yoon’s). My croissant was very dense and not flaky, but the tiramisu cream was good. The bun was very dry but again, the cream redeemed it.

What better time to stop into a delicious cafe and bakery than on your birthday?? It means you can go wild ordering delicious pastries and beverages and not feel bad about it, right? Came in here for the first time, yes, on my birthday. It was a bit busy in there and I was a bit tired after a day running around so we decided to get our treats to go. I immediately spotted the New York rolls (rolled croissants with filling) which appear to be their signature item. I grabbed one of those, the mango filled option, right away. I also needed a slice of birthday cake, right? So I got a slice of the the raspberry chocolate variety. My husband ordered the matcha New York roll and the blueberry taro cake. To wash it down with I ordered the sea salt cream caramel latte which was SO good! They use real caramel sauce that they make in house (I think, it definitely did NOT taste commercial) and it was so good that after I finished the drink I went and got a spoon and scraped all the little bits at the bottom out to eat it. No caramel left behind! At home we started with the croissant roll. It was VERY good. I have to admit I didn't get a lot of mango flavor out of it but I really liked the custard filling either way so I found it very enjoyable. It's also BEAUTIFUL presentation (just make sure you snap a photo there because it's not very good at staying upright during travel). Later, after dinner, I enjoyed my slice of cake and it was also excellent. A dense, deep chocolate cake layered with a raspberry frosting that I could tell had fresh raspberries in it, not flavoring. Overall, a very solid start to what I'm sure will be an ongoing relationship with Ondo! I still have to come back for the savories, after all!

Delicious bakery treats and great coffee options. Super modern space! It was an easy seamless experience to grab what you want and pay at the counter. They should put a sign though where you pick up tongs that you put used tongs at the register. I noticed a few people putting the tongs back after using them! I got a strawberry New York roll and a matcha latte. My husband got the Oreo roll. And we both god some egg salad buns. So so so good!

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.

This place is amazing! I was visiting Ann Arbor for work and returned multiple times. The store stays busy, but there is plenty of seating and the staff is efficient. The earl grey donut is STUFFED full of earl grey cream. It was heavenly. The restrooms are clean. You are expected to bus your own table. Wheelchair accessibility could improve, but it isn't bad.

We went on a weekday so it wasn't super crowded. The array of desserts was impressive. I had the sesame latte and my husband had the tiramisu latte. Both were delicious and not super sweet which we appreciated. Would definitely return.

Found a piece of string in my drink :( otherwise, it is an aesthetic Korean and French -inspired coffee/bakery joint. I stopped by in here one day when I noticed they were having a Dairy Boy pop-up, complete with a DIY bouquet-making experience, Photo Booth area, and clothing/accessories to shop from while you enjoy your drink and pastry. I ordered their tiramisu latte which I asked for with half syrup as I noticed from other reviews that their drinks may be on the sweeter side. It was tasty, but I did find a random piece of rope/floss in my drink which was gross :( Not all the pastries, while cute, looked very fresh, so I didn't try any of the food here. If I do though, I would be open to one of the refrigerated ones. There's lots of seating which is great for studying or hanging out with friends/family. Service was quick - I got my drink in about 5 minutes.

Ondo is such a treat! The pastries were beautiful and delicious, especially the filled donut and the custard croissant. Everything tasted fresh and not overly sweet. The shop has a clean, modern vibe and a great selection. Can't wait to come back!

I did not taste the food. Not sure how the service was because I did not talk to anyone. I Walked in but did not make a purchase. I smelled strong cleaning solution that I could. It tolerate. Perhaps I will go back and try again one day.

Unique, cute, & aesthetic Korean bakery. I was overwhelmed by the assortment of croissants, breads, buns, cakes, and tarts. Ended up with only 1 savory croissant which I asked to be heated up because it looks like it's been set out for some time. It turned out tasting pretty good. Slight kick from I'm guessing spicy mayo. I wish the display info contained a description of what everything is. I saw a sign for Croongy and nothing to go off of. Google didn't give me answers either. The tarts looked amazing, the cakes looked beautiful, & their squarish rolled croissants looked out of this world (not pictured).

Ondo I love you! This beaut is a newly added Asian bakery on state Street. Grab a tray at the front with paper and tongs. Then serve yourself and check out at the register. I was so excited to try the NY roll. We got a lemon and cookies and cream. They are filled with a yummy cream. My favorite was the tiramisu croissant. Lovely! Not a lot of coffee flavor, but still delicious. I bet it would go great with one of their lattes. The service was great, and the interior is clean and spacious. I will definitely be a regular here so I can try all the things.

The tiramisu latte is my favorite drink to order here! The mascarpone cream in the croissant was so rich and the space is pretty clean! It can get crowded at times but generally I never found difficulty with seating.

Ondo Cafe is a cozy, welcoming spot that really stands out for its unique blend of healthy, delicious options and a warm, laid-back atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a hidden gem, offering a perfect mix of great food and a peaceful place to relax, work, or catch up with friends. They have this one drink that's a coconut latte it is so good! The service is pretty good too!

Basically: Yummy in my Tummy Great place. Delicious pastries, good options. A little bit on the more pricey side but not expensive. Drinks are delicious, only thing I would change is the ice level of the drinks because the ice melts immediately. This negative is still not big enough for me to think it's anything under a 5/5. It is a nice and spacious place, has seating and WiFi. The service is good, the workers are nice, no one has been rude to me in the multiple times I've been to this location this past year. Great location!!!!!

Kinda like a Tous Les Jours but not as mass manufactured. You pick up a tray, liner, tongs and pick you items from the cases. The space is also HUGE - it's deceptively large and has lots of seating. Things were still coming out in the morning so I was kinda limited to just their croissants. Don't forget the cream ones in the case with the cakes by the way! I immediately ate the spicy ham & cheese one: really nice lamination. good texture. flavorful and chock full of ham & cheese -- didn't feel skimpy at all. I really hope they make the cookie croissant that I've seen on their IG! As I was leaving the almond croissant and chocolate almond croissant crunch came out too. Drinks-wise - they have a new Hojicha (roasted matcha!!). Really impressed by their Hojicha - it comes unsweetened and it's beautifully nutty, roasty. They also have other amazing sound drinks like a black sesame cream latte - what!!! Didn't see it until I was leaving! The cashier and baristas were really helpful in inability to decide matcha cream strawberry croissant or regular cream strawberry croissant or hot vs iced hojicha ahah so greatly appreciate how friendly they were!! I'll be back for the full lunch menu as well as their tasty look black sesame cream latte!

The busiest bakery I have ever seen and now I know why! The desserts are phenomenal they have both sweet and savory options. The options are very esthetic as well. Lattes are delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of college students go here to study and catch up with friends so it is a bit loud. Cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu.

Every time I come to ONDO bakery I'm lost at what I should pick. The options are endless and everything looks like an amazing option. The NewYork croissants are my new favorite thing and trying a different flavor every time I'm in the bakery. The staff behind the register are always cheerful and welcoming the baristas always made my drinks spot on. I personally like to sit outside when the weather is nice but inside seating is also very nice and it's not too load. Good for student to do their work and study or meet friends and for families to get a quick treat.

Had the most beautiful experience here this morning. I had the monkey bread and the salted caramel latte. The monkey bread was to die for, and all of the other pastries looked amazing. The latte had a foam on top that was similar to mascarpone, it was decadent and lined with a caramel sauce that tasted fresh and home made. Amazing. Service was nice and fast. Will be coming back soon!

The basque cheesecake was pretty good and sour, my first time trying them. The cheese mousse had like 3 layers it kinda tasted like mango maybe? The cruffin was the star though it was delicious. There was not much else in stock so this is all we got.

I went here two days in a row, it was THAT good. I've tried the chocolate and strawberry New York roll, the egg salad roll, an egg tart, and a tiramisu croissant with a friend. The chocolate New York Roll was definitely the prize winner but everything was good. The tiramisu croissant needed more coffee flavor in my opinion snd I didn't love the egg tart (but I believe it was made well; it was my first time trying it, I just don't think it's my thing). The baristas and workers were so kind and I really enjoyed talking with them a little. The ambiance was weirdly perfect. For example, there were plenty of people there talking and enjoying themselves but it was still quiet snd muffled enough to study if you needed too. I love the layout of the building and I definitely will be back plenty this summer.

Great customer service, great coffee and treats! Will be back! Came to UM for tourney and Ondo was recommended by Graduate hotel staff.

I tried ondo based off of friends really liking it, however, I must disagree. The aesthetic of the coffee shop is really cute and I enjoyed working here...if you can find a table. Also the people here tend to take up an entire 4 person table for themselves. I asked multiple people if I could sit on the other end and received a no every time. The line to order is also always long and they move very slow. I got a chocolate almond croissant which was actually pretty good, all the pastries look good, but they don't warm them up for you. I also got a sea salt caramel latte which I really did not enjoy. It is so sweet, which could be my fault in ordering but I also tried a sip of other lattes and they were all extremely sweet. There is much better coffee in the area, definitely skip this.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon. It was incredibly busy. The way the shop is set up makes it difficult to browse around people who are in line, or to know if someone is in line or just trying to get to a product in the cases. If you want to just order coffee, do you have to stand in the long line of pastry buyers? It's hard to know. The coffee drinks themselves are good if you like them sweet. All the pastries and cakes look really good and aesthetically beautiful. There were only three people working, and they didn't really seem to know what they were doing. Only one seemed to have a handle on how to run things. It felt very hectic and rushed in there, not a relaxing space at all unfortunately. The bathrooms were a mess with no toilet paper or paper towels. I think it comes down to being understaffed, which I know is an issue everywhere. I would try it again, but maybe at a less busy time.

Hubby and I went on a bakery crawl. This was our second stop. Of the three bakeries we stopped at, this was our favorite, but that's not saying much. First off, the espresso drinks are delicious. But stay away from anything matcha. They use a very cheap quality of matcha and it's truly awful. My matcha latte was a huge disappointment and the matcha New York roll was inedible. They are very generous with their fillings, so we couldn't really get a taste of the roll without the awful matcha flavor. Seriously folks, if you're going to serve matcha, use the good stuff, please! We had a raspberry mouse with was really delightful and the little "bear head" filled with chocolate cream (apologies, I can't remember the name). It was pretty good, but the cream was a bit much. Like I said, they're very generous with the fillings. Everything is beautiful and they do a really good job, but the cheap matcha really brought the whole experience down a notch.

Delicious pastries, bright and inviting space - this was a delightful way to begin our day

Went here as a little trip with my sister while I was in Downtown Ann Arbor. The ambiance is relaxing and beautiful! Very nice place with nice layout, and many places to sit. The pastries were also beautifully presented and delicious! Cute aesthetic bakery spot if you're looking for one, I would recommend!

This is such a cute bakery! They have loads of great pastries from classic to trendy ones. It can get busy here as it is right on campus, but I love it!

Relatively easy to get your order, I have honestly never been to a bakery that functions like Ondo before. Tiramisu croissants were 10/10. Will definitely be back.

Customer service average or below, pastries okay and coffee drinks taste good. When I asked why a pastry was $8 and same size as others that were $4, I was told bc it went viral. It didn't taste like anything special. Coffee drink Biscoff latte, since it's premade you can't customize the type of milk. Place is just okay with additional quirk for parking if you're not already walking downtown. Got overcharged and when I asked for a receipt the cashier said she noticed it....

Watch out if you have food allergies! Baked goods and atmosphere looked lovely. The donuts were not labeled so I asked the person at the desk what the filling was in the donut as it had no label and we have food allergies/sensitivities in our family. I was told it was pistachio which was fine. Upon coming home I realized it was matcha and that the person with a food allergy in my family had already eaten several bites of this. I tried to call Ondo to tell them that the item needs to be labeled properly. They have no listed phone number. They need to be more careful to label all of the items or train the workers to not guess at what something is.

Tried this place for this first time and really loved! There are food options for everyone and their coffee menu is incredibly extensive. Staff was super nice and I will definitley be back!

wonderful new bakery. beautiful cakes and pastries. also they do have gluten free cookies .
