General Manager

Brian (BG) is a veteran in the food and bev industry. He previously worked as the bar manager at Wax Bar and Ollie Food and Spirits and as the executive chef at Corner Brewery. He’s our resident punk dude, always quirky, positive, and personable. He is a wizard in the kitchen, the mastermind behind all the lunch and brunch specials. He only eats one meal per day and loves ice cream, pizza, yogurt, and White Claw.

Bakery Assistant

Matt is a native Ann Arborite and you will often run into him meandering around town on his bike. He is a DJ (MKO) and a freelance 3D generalist, but in the kitchen he is the “bread man.” Thousands of milk bread buns are made by his hands and those perfectly pleated breakfast galettes are thanks to him as well. Ask him about video games or about his amazing trips to Japan.

Maggie goes way back as an employee of Milk + Honey (the business before it was Q). She works part time as a nurse for her “day job" and full time as a toddler mom. She is the scaling master, helping with a ton of prep early on in the week to set us up for success. Her favorite pastry is our veg breakfast galette! Nature, quality time with loved ones, crafting, biking, and learning new things bring her joy.

Storefront Assistant

Hawa is the gal you likely see the most, working our counter from Thursday-Sunday each week! She is our exclusive storefront person and makes sure everyone gets the pastries and products they want.

She is an “all around” baker, our morning baker, and her favorite item is the rice krispy! Outside of work she is a super-eager-under-qualified home DIYer and competes in olympic weightlifting. You've probably seen her walking her adorable dog, Carly.
