JP Makes and Bakes - Detroit, Michigan

I don't even want to leave a review because it means other people will know about this place, and I want it to keep it all to ourselves. But this place is so good I need it to be massively successful.

The drinks are super cute and fantastic. The cinnamon sticky bon is amazing. We ordered a small sample of everything, and each one was fantastic.

Amazing pastries that made for a delicious Saturday breakfast. Great coffee. The breakfast sandwich, yellow mung bean croissant, doughnuts (bombolini), and all the cookies were stand outs.

Made a special trip here with my friend after she saw a social ad for lunch bowls. The cafe is small and clean with very limited seating. They have a good selection of baked goods and small merchandise section. I bought the cutest tShirt. The staff was welcoming/friendly - offered a recommendation and let me sample the soft serve.

For lunch we both ordered the savory special (ukoy) with their mangomansi drinks. The special was a generous serving of shrimp + veggies, perfect fritter like texture, seasoned well and served with a vinegary sauce plus white rice.

For something sweet I tried the ube lychee twist soft serve (good, lightly floral and sweet), ube brownie (great flavor, moist cakey texture, not too sweet) and suman malagkit (glutenous textured dessert with light coconut and brown sugar flavor).

I love that the specials are authentic Filipino cooking and excited to return for more.

JP Makes and Bakes always has inventive and delicious treats! The soft serve is amazing - he is one of the few (if not only) places to make his own soft serve base and the ube/lychee swirl was DELICIOUS. The buns are unique and flavorful and the ube brownies are a must! He is always trying out new things so it’s always worth a visit to see what’s new. I haven’t tried many of his savory dishes but they look excellent. And overall the prices are very reasonable for what you’re getting - would highly recommend giving this place a try!

Had to check this new Filipino establishment! Clean environment, the baked goods not only looked good but are delicious! The ube flavor was authentic! Definitely coming back here.

Stepping into this bakery felt like discovering a hidden gem. I tried the Pan de Coco filled with coconut and brown sugar, and it immediately brought back memories of a similar snack from my childhood in Kerala, India—such a nostalgic treat! The cassava cake was another highlight, with its subtle yet delightful flavor. Both were absolutely amazing and worth every bite! Must try!

Coconut & ube soft serve ice cream was very good! So was the cream cheese savory bakery item! Reasonably priced as well!!

We got the Savoury Special (biscuits, eggs, gravy), the cinnamon roll, Ube brownie, Ube cookies, Coco pan, Everything pan, Ube Coco Matcha, and an Ube Latte. Everything tasted great. The prices are great and the atmosphere is amazing. I would especially recommend the cinnamon roll if it's available. There is limited seating in the cafe so plan to take out if you're going at a busy time. Overall amazing and I'm so glad to have Philipino food making an appearance in the neighborhood!
