Vintage Sterling speakers shipped from a Seoul shop add a high-fidelity vibe to Dough Objects, a new bakery/café just south of Raising Cane’s in the student-focused South University district.
For thirty-one-year-old Min Kyu Kim, it’s a streamlined complement to his popular Ondo Bakery across the Diag on S. State. An exposed high ceiling, concrete walls, and pillars contribute a sense of industrial chic to the fresh Vic Village South ground floor space.

About a dozen pastries, sandwiches, mousses, and cakes are scratch-made daily. “We use the rawest ingredients possible and really create objects out of them,” says Kim, who also owns Azalea on S. Main, a chain of nine Kimchi Box locations, and a Korean steakhouse in Novi, Dancing Pine.

A focused drink menu featuring Hyperion coffee, Rocky’s matcha, and house-made syrups and foam is offered exclusively in twelve-ounce servings. “We try to be very uniform with the ratio and the amount we get for each drink,” Kim explains.
