Come around noon for the best selection, but order ahead if you don't want to wait in line. My daughter likes the pig shaped bread the best, their bubble tea is hit or miss.

Such a cute, small pastry shop in Novi. It is in a plaza that isn't too busy so parking will never be an issue. The good stuff run out kind of fast so that's a bummer...be sure to go right when they open or at least before 1pm! Pastries taste pretty good, I like the ones with sausage and cheese in them. They also have this bread filled with noodles which was an interesting taste and experience. Probably won't get it again but it was a good try lol. Didn't give 5 stars as the pastry selection isn't a lot & the good ones go fast. But the cute Anpanman bread is a winner from my toddler.

Stopped here on a Friday about an hour after they opened I knew better then to come late. Places like this the good stuff goes quick! I love that they have sanitizer right before you walk in to grab a tray. After much debate of buying one of everything I choose, Hokkaido cheese bun, matcha red bean bun, honey walnut bun, doraemon, and a curry bread. Everything was delicious, I need more of the Hokkaido cheese buns tho it's so so light and yummy! For all of these it came to $15 and some change!

Delicious freshly made buns. I got the Takoyaki bun, which has the consistency of a warm Hawaiian roll and a sweet and savory taste. Super tasty, 9/10. I also got a sweet roll, a matcha red bean bun. It was the perfect balance of sweetness, not overwhelming sweet. Light on the matcha flavor. Again served on the luscious Hawaiian roll consistency. 10/10. The service was fast and friendly, and the inside had a nice seating area to enjoy the rolls. Fairly laidback environment, would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

I stopped in about an hour before they closed and they still had quite a bit left. I tried the strawberry cream cake and a variety of buns. I liked the chocolate melon, chocolate croissant, egg tart, moose with blueberry cream cheese, piggy bun with strawberry filling, and almond rock. The cream cheese bun, Doraemon, and cream pan are my favorites. I did not love the taro bun, crab bun with chocolate cream filling, or melon pan (ok but bland/plain.)

Moose Pastry & Tea is the only Japanese-style bakery* in Metro Detroit that serves many of the classic buns you'd typically find in Japan. I believe the owners are actually Taiwanese and you can see a bit of Taiwanese influence - for example, there's a bit more egg wash on some of the buns, and they also offer almond cookies and taro buns. In any case, everything is always consistently delicious. We always stop by when we're in the area. On the last trip, we bought: Taro Mochi Bun ($2.80) - This has some very lightly sweetened taro paste on top of a small mochi disk in a fluffy bun topped with almonds. Wish there was a bit more mochi inside! QQ Machi ($2.85) - This might be a special bake? It was on a hand written sign. Probably my favorite item I've bought at Moose - chewy mochi-like texture throughout with chocolate chips studded in and a bit of a bitter grassy taste from matcha powder. Curry Pan ($2.70) - Not a lot of filling, quite mild curry with vegetables. Be sure to toast this one - it improves the crust tremendously. Black Milk Tea, Large, Half Sugar ($5) - The tea taste really comes through in this drink, with a bit of a tart astringency from the black tea. Half sweet is good. Moose really fills the drink to the brim without ice as filler - I got regular ice and when I received the drink, there were no ice chunks at all. The boba is just slightly firmer than I prefer, but good overall. I definitely recommend stopping by to pick up some bread. *There is technically another bakery in Clawson that has Japanese-style baked goods, but the focus and offerings there are decidedly different.

They sell out quick most days but if you can get there you'll have a great selection of delicious, fluffy buns filled with a myriad of delights like red beans, custard, cream, , coconut, fruits like strawberry and melon, matcha, etc. Plus savories like garlic bacon, hot dogs, seaweed pork, etc. And they're all SO beautiful. The animal shaped ones are particularly fun (kids will love them!). They also have amazing cream cakes. My favorites being the strawberry cream and chocolate. And the eclairs are also excellent! I haven't tried them but they do offer bubble teas in a bunch of flavors (fruit and milk teas), tea lattes, and a few espresso based drinks like lattes. Not a place to sit and stay but for carryout it's perfect!
