White Wolf Japanese Patisserie

I hadn't been to the bakery in nearly a year. I decided to try it again, since I see they've put in work to improve the pastries.

I tried the ube cheesecake which was okay. I didn't get much ube flavor, but the texture and taste was otherwise nice.

The white chocolate coffee crème brûlée was terrible and a waste of $6. I'm unsure why the bakers torch the sugar in advance and then cover it. The sugar melted into a thin liquid, but at the same time it hadn't been torched adequately so it was grainy along the edges.
The custard itself was overcooked and had scrambled on the bottom.

Stopped in for the first time for a matcha and almond croissant. The matcha was the worst I’ve ever had…was not mixed and tasted like drinking sand. The croissant tasted like boxed vanilla cake. Not a fun way to spend $14 ?

Asking a question to the ppl inside the counter, rudely told me "just wait in line" twice. Not going there again

When I started writing this review, i thought it was a solid 4 stars from my experience. But now that I’m thinking about it...it might be 3 stars.

The good:
The pumpkin spice latte was amazing and their macarons are the best I’ve ever had. The ube cake was okay.

The not so good:
1. They asked for here or to go? We said for here and they still gave us paper plate and plastic forks and a paper cup for the latte. I didn’t like that especially when it’s not cheap. The drink AT LEAST should’ve been in a cup with a saucer situation.
2. The employees need a little more energy. They stare blankly at you until you realize they’re gonna help. Instead, ask “hello! I can help who’s next!” ??
3. The layout and seating is not inviting at all. It just feels very cold in there. Someone needs to work on the feng shui.

Anyway, it’s nothing worth running back to for these reasons.

Dietary restrictions: They put alcohol in some of their desserts so make sure you ask!!!!

Amazing Cafe. Everything here is great. My favorites are the Yuzu Cake, Roasted Hazelnut Latte and Almond Croissant. Anytime I’m in the area, I make sure to stop here. Their in house syrups are great. Many places have artificial flavors but you can tell these are all made in house

Been wanting to stop by for a while and finally got the chance. Ordered a creme brulee, which was amazing, as well as a tea. The staff was friendly and had a fun energy. Service was fast. And it is such a pretty cafe just to sit and spend time chatting or reading. I highly recommend stopping in if you have a moment.

White wolf is a sweet little gem located in the heart of downtown Clawson. Their Asian-inspired pastries, offer unique flavors, and impeccable displays of art. The chocolate raspberry cake, Yuzu lemon cheesecake, and the Mille crêpe cakes are a go-to! There is usually a line, but service is fast and attentive. If you’re not in a hurry, I recommend getting a coffee and relax in their cozy, modern couches with a great view of the downtown buzz.

Beautiful space, delightful for conversation. The baked goods are perfect.

We put our order in for raspberry cake, chocolate cake and a croissant. The guy serving us took them out of the display case with his hand after he touched his nose. He packed our order and made our drinks without washing his hands.

I love everything about this place—the vibe, interior, furniture, and the taste of their coffee, pastries, cakes, and bread. But last weekend, I was even more impressed by the staff.

I ordered a cup of roasted flavored coffee, cake, and bread, and my 21-month-old daughter accidentally spilled the coffee all over the floor. I asked a worker, the one with his hair tied up and a beard, for a mop so I could clean up the mess. He reassured me, saying it was okay and that it happens all the time, and he even offered to replace the coffee I spilled. I was really impressed by this. I wanted to tip him, but I didn’t have any cash at the time. If I see him again, I’ll happily give him a tip next time.

Just came here for the first time, was excited to try it. The drinks and pastries were good, unique selections. Unfortunately the lady behind the counter was really rude. She asked me what kind of milk I wanted in my drink and I asked what kind they had. Instead of just listing off the milks they have or telling me it’s listed on the menu in the bottom, she gets this annoyed looked on her face and turns away from me to the menu and doesn’t say a word. It wasn’t clear where to order when we walked in and we asked a guy behind the counter if we could order there and he points to a “line.” It was one random person standing at the counter who just looked like she was waiting for something. Will not be back.
