Customer Reviews

Friendly service. Plenty of parking. Accepts credit cards. Donuts were dry and they didn?t have any old fashion. $18/dozen. Would not recommend the donuts. I didn?t get the twists because they are half the size of twists anywhere else. I should have gotten the other items that others reviewed-pate chuad.

Stepping inside, I was greeted by the warmest smiles and the friendliest staff, who went above and beyond to make my visit memorable. They patiently walked me through their incredible selection of fresh donuts, mouthwatering Asian pastries, and baking essentials. The atmosphere was bursting with charm, making it the perfect place to start my day. If you?re looking

I recently visited The Q Baking Corner, and it was truly a treat! I ordered a selection of cupcakes and a loaf of sourdough bread. The cupcakes were rich in flavor, with the frosting perfectly complementing the cake. The sourdough had a crispy crust and soft, flavorful interior. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering great suggestions, and the prices were reasonable considering the high-quality ingredients they use. Definitely worth a visit for anyone craving delicious, freshly baked goods.I recently

Love this place they make some of the best original glazed donuts ??! There custom cake are very artistic and creative. They also carry pastries and treats. Authentic hand crafted i speak to the owner all the time she is very humble and passionate about baking! The quality is very consistent ?? ??.

This is a family owned business that makes more than just donuts and cakes. This bakery is most famous for their vanilla puffs and pate chauds. I also had my son?s birthday cake ordered and custom made here as well. I always find myself coming back to this bakery for cravings.

The owners were polite and very compassionate the first time I visited, during which I urgently needed a cake for my son's graduation party. The tiramisu was delicious and the guests took every last bite. The service was so great that I ordered two cakes from them again for my husband's birthday and mother-in-law's birthday. Again, the tiramisu was delicious as well as the vanilla pineapple cake.

We use to go here often years ago but the quality of the donuts went down. Thought we give it another shot. The place had a bad odor and the donuts look dry and old with a small selection for the morning. We wall walked out We're not going back anymore. We went to Daily Donuts on Tully. Fresh and delicious with large selection

They've improved it a lot! The ham and cheese is delicious!

Good doughnuts and the other pastries looked good as well

The worst donut shop ever, the chocolate twist is half of the size any other shop, they always try to fill your cup as Lowes possible,

The Pate Chaud is one of the best bites of food I?ve ever had. Chicken was amazing but the Pork blew my mind. 10/10

This place has AMAZING!! For our baby's gender reveal party, we ordered a bunch of delicious cupcakes from this place and everyone liked it. Staff was great and did help us with suggestions for the cupcakes.

The savory cupcakes here are standout! And you can?t go wrong with the pork pate chaud either. I usually place an order the morning of if I?m getting a dozen or more, and the owner is so nice and accommodating. My go-to place for savory treats.

Cozy but decent quality. I like how they treat customers. When I came inside, a lady asked me if I have any questions, she also introduced me some cakes, she made me feel very comfortable. +10 pts for customer service. I bought Cr?me Br?l?e and Pate chaud. You can see that they put their hearts into the cakes. Both of the two items taste so good, also nice displayed.

The doughnuts are really good, the employees are nice, I ordered 12 doughnuts to give out to the homeless and they loved it so much, the prices are good and affordable, amazing customer service would go again.

They have some of the best macaroons that I have ever had. They?re very affordable and their donuts are of good quality. I highly recommend this place.

Great family-owned bakery! The owner and her children are very sweet and friendly. Not only do they offer donuts and coffee but they also sell Vietnamese pastries, desserts, and custom order cakes. I've ordered pork pate chaud (it also comes with chicken) and pandan honeycomb cake for family and friends parties and they're always a favorite! Order in advance by phone and you can pay using Zelle or Venmo, it's really convenient.
