Amazing array of fresh baked goods. Good breakfast sandwiches! I wanted a takeout breakfast sandwich, and was near Bon Appetit Bakery & Cafe. What a discovery! Yes, a delicious made-to-order loaded sausage egg cheese toasted flakey croissant! Only $4.50! Plus at least 50 varieties of freshly-made baked goods! Pastries, breads, and sweets, including many Korean specialties. Beverages including fresh-ground espresso, tea, cold soft drinks. Frozen treats. All this in a cozy eat-in cafe with friendly welcoming staff. I cant post enough photos to show it all! read more

This is one of my new favorite bakeries! They use very good quality tea mix for their lattes and have almond milk (dairy free) available. I loved their taro iced latte! Every bun I tried is delicious but the honey bun has to be my favorite. They have savory and sweet buns, artisan breads, cookies, cakes, doughnuts, and more. Everything is super affordable as well and they are open pretty late. read more

#3 When entering the bakery, your eyes fixate immediately at the array of delectable looking pastries, bread and cakes. That's only after receiving a big cheerful smile and a wave from the staff. Perfect ambience for working, studying or simply hanging around with friends or by yourself (which is what I usually do with a book) Their pastries taste freshly made with my favorites being raspberry roll cake with a crumble, twist roll pastry (too addictive) among so many yummy regional bread varieties whose names I don't recollect. My husband's favorites are their decadent mousse cake and chocolate cheesecake. I love how they bring in new pastries with new flavors every week or so. The curious cat in me gets rejoiced when I chance upon new & inviting flavors. Prices are fair compared to fellow counterparts. read more

So sad to write this. We placed a special order of Blue Macarons for my son's first birthday. One whole set were cracked and broken in the package and the other set was completely uneven. None of the macarons had feet along the edges and even my oldest son pointed out that the color was not blue. Really disappointed to be called out by a 6 year old and told they don't taste like macarons. read more

Nice, quiet setting for a study session or a casual cafe date. I like the plenty of options. Common French/Korean staples were there like milkbread, red bean pastries, cakes, etc. Their drinks were surprisingly cheap yet good quality. Iirc I had a taro latte with oat milk for under $5. Can't beat that price anywhere! Seems like a family run business. Service was quick and no fuss. Food was delivered with smiles. Recommended! We'd go again! read more

I was surprised @ how much I liked this place! I've been to a couple of cafes in the area so when my husband was craving a sweet treat I looked for a new one nearby. This came up & I didn't really expect much. I saw some good reviews & some bad reviews. It feels very cozy. It looks like it's family owned & there wasn't anyone there on a Sunday afternoon so we ended up being served pretty quickly. I had the matcha latte & my husband had an ube latte. We tried a coffee bun & one with mocha cream. It's not the best quality food but for prices I thought it was worth it. I could see myself studying here during my college days since it was pretty low-key & the items were affordable. So if you're looking for something like that I would recommend. read more

April 2023 Cozy cafe and bakery located in Centennial Place. I was surprised how much merchandise they carry considering it is smaller than other local Korean bakeries in E.C. The parking lot was empty so I was surprised that there were a few patrons. There is limited seating and a $5 minimum to use a credit or debit card. I asked the employee which is more popular, the chocolate mousse cake or triology and he said the cake. Good recommendation as it was amazing! It was rich, creamy, and sweet just how I like it. Highly recommend! I also purchased a green bean bun, which is one of my favorites. So glad I found this bakery! As of right now, this is one of my top two favorites in E.C. alongside Tous Les Jours. read more

this is one of the best examples of horrible service. I ordered two breakfast sandwiches and a latte and a water. The order came, no water. Was told you need to pay for water - "i'll give you a small amount this time." This time is the last time so no thank you... beyond the poor ambiance the service is worse still. read more

Came here on a Monday morning, pretty quiet, and I loved it , did see some regulars here. Friendly staff, and can tell the owner/cashier is a very efficient person LOL , her voice can be a bit loud sometimes, but it doesn't bother me. Clean shop, have lots pastries selections, and tasty sandwiches. open concept, the layout is very similar to the other Korean owned coffee + bakeries in the area. Parkings are right out front very convenient. Definitely recommend to check out this hidden gem @winedinenvacay read more

Cute cozy cafe with good Asian bread/desserts. The fried donuts are pretty greasy but chewy and overall good. Garlic cream bread: not really sure what the exact name for this bread is but it was surprisingly really good! It doesn't have an over powering garlic flavor and it has a good amount of cream for each quarter slice! read more

5 star service since they opened years ago! Always excellent pastries and sandwiches

Bon Appetit has been around for awhile now and it has always been great. I love their Galbi bread (because it looks like ribs) but they always seem to be out when I am around. This was one of those time. However, they do have other delicious goods all the time. It is less crowded than the other bakeries down the street because it is not located directly on the main street. For that reason, I enjoy going to this local business. read more

Cute little spot for food and coffee. They don't have much in the way of teas but their coffee seems to be good. They also have a great assortment of pastries and breads that are baked daily. They have about 10 tables inside and it was a nice place to spend a morning! read more

The staff were polite and efficient. The food was great. The coffee was as well. Quiet clean dinning area.

Such great staff, good prices and very good coffee. It's a great place to have a quick chat with friends and quiet enough to get lots of work done. Best bakery near the area. read more

This is a Korean style bakery. They serve everything from cake, teas, coffee, pastries, macarons, shaved ice to ice cream. This place is a perfect spot to relax with friends and drink some tea and chat away. The atmosphere is very cute and playful. There are playful words and wall decor all along the bakery. The red velvet cake is mediocre I have a sense that they buy it from a separate vendor and sell them by the slice. Their macarons are okay. I feel like I bake better ones at home. They sell tea bags by the box. It's about five bucks for a box of tea bags. That's a good deal in my opinion. They also sell birthday cakes here so stop by if you need one. I do have to say that their birthday cakes are not super sweet, which I do not care for. I love super sweet cake. However, if sweets are not your thing, then a cake from here will be perfect. Their bingsoo (shaved ice) is awesome for a hot summer's day. My favorite is the red bean bingsoo. The red bean bingsoo they sell here is super old school. It's a replica of the type I used to eat as a child. The bingsoo they sell is not upscaled and modernized like the ones you find in other Korean bakeries. The red bean bingsoo is childhood memory heaven. I love their red bean bingsoo! read more

A sad bakery that does not satisfy your sweet tooth. Everything here is mediocre to pretty bad. I got their bingsoo. It had red beans, cocktail fruits, and condensed milk drizzled on it. It tasted like bingsoo I made at home when I was a child. Not saying that's a bad thing, but there was nothing special about it. Red velvet cake tasted like it was bought from somewhere. Decent cake though, but wouldn't get it next time. And macarons are sad. They looked ugly in the first place, so I should have known they were going to be a disappointment. Right when I took a bite it was way too crunchy and there was a huge gap in my macaron. Not worth your money. I should have drove a little farther to another bakery, especially because it was my bday and I wanted really good dessert. Oh wellssss:( read more

Today I am having the taro milk tea and a bacon and egg no cheese. Both are good. The service is good.

This bakery is so awesome they have a great selection of bakery items at a great price!!!!! Everything is delicious

I made my first visit here yesterday. I like this bakery more than La Boulangerie (near Lotte on Rt 40) b/c it offers a little more selection on items and it is just more spacious. Like La Boulangerie, it is a Korean bakery, but a more "modern" (not the word I'm looking for, but I mean it carries more than glutinous rice based items, or fruit/nut based desserts, etc.) one in that it has breads, pastries, cakes, and cookies, and many with japanese and french influence. From the items there that I have tasted, it is quite good. They also offer samples of some items, so you can try before you buy. This place reminds me a little of Shilla Bakery in Virginia, but on a smaller scale. I like this place, and will be back. read more

Bumping it up to two stars! Since my initial review with the moldy box, I've had another bad experience and next two were decent experiences. The second bad experience was that the guy charged me all sorts it amounts for two different types of bread. I got three varieties (small pastries and a loaf) and the pastries were all the same price and the loaf was more, but he rang them up with at least four different prices total. I'm not surprised, given that none of the products have any prices (not even with a little price sticker gun) directly on them. Maybe it's management's way of hoping to make more money by tricking their customers - who knows. Third time around, the guy - different than the previous time - was nice enough to get me the slice way in the front (it was prettier) and did everything correctly. The most recent time I went was a few weeks ago. We debated going to Shilla but it seemed just too expensive. We were glad we picked Bon Appetit as their macarons are quite cheaper than Shilla's. I love their strawberry cake - which Shilla didn't even have! Added some green tea and it was perfect. read more

Date: 06/08/2013 $4.50 per smoothie The smoothies at Bon Appetit Bakery were by far the worst smoothies I have ever tasted in my life. We ordered the following: 1. blueberry smoothie 2. kiwi smoothie 3. mango smoothie The smoothies contain no real fruit; and if the menu said it does, it is so watered down and masked with the powder flavoring. We literally ended up tossing the smoothies out after taking a sip. Waste of money! read more

Seriously the best bingsoo in town! No matter how many café and bingsoo places are on route 40, I hope Bon Appetit never closes because their bingsoo is soooo good and affordable! It doesn't have too much ice where you have to dig through the entire bowl to get any flavor, and it comes with plenty of toppings and ice cream for a great flavor to ice ratio. My favorites are the fruit and coffee bingsoo. The fruit in the fruit bingsoo is pretty seasonal, but it is always fresh and juicy. Also the coffee bingsoo comes with lots of mochi, which is always a plus! If you are looking for the best bingsoo spot, come to Bon appetit. They not only have amazing bingsoo, but tasty pastries and cakes at an affordable price. read more

Hidden Korean bakery in Ellicott City. I'm not familiar with Ellicott City as well as others, so I'm not sure if this is necessarily sure if this is the best bakery, but I do know that there are a million Korean bakeries in the area. I was told this one is as good as the Shilla Bakeries; they do have fresh baked cookies, breads, and cakes like very typical Asian/Korean bakeries. Most people I saw here on a Friday evening came as a family to share bing soo or came here to sit and study. We ordered the kiwi and taro smoothies, a chocolate macaroon, and a raspberry jam cookie. The kiwi smoothie is tart but tasted like they used real kiwi, with bits of kiwi seeds in every sip. The taro smoothie on the other hand was creamy and light, but sadly, tasted like powder mix. The chocolate macaroon and raspberry-jam cookie were very fresh, I would've liked them both to be softer to the taste. If I come back to the area, I would def visit this place again. read more

Oooo I like this place. I file this under cute, girly places to come with a gaggle of girlfriends and talk about giddy topics until you get hungry. And then scuttle out for korean food (pretty much all around the area). Yes, it's very close to Honey Pig :) Love the spread of bakery options arranged on wooden shelves--giving that homey, bakery feeling of being surrounded by pastries. Bing soo (shaved ice), bubble tea, sandwiches, etc--lots of options! Cakes were delectable; perfect asian-style, mild tasting cake. Got the mango mouse and strawberry cake. Went down smooth. Could they just serve ramen and become the perfect one-stop-shop??! There's some seating on the side--I'd say it's suitable for small groups of no more than 5-6 people. There's also outside seating good for 1-4 people at a time. Maybe you've picked up the theme by now: cute. And sweet :) read more

I love our little neighborhood bakery! Walking in there is always delightful -- the smell, the layout of the baked goods, and the very friendly folks working the counter. Only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review? Their coffee. Definitely not great coffee...I enjoy the lovely Korean teas, however, especially the Ginger Tea, which is not an every day item here in the States! **tip: get the acorn squash bread. You will NOT regret it!!!** read more

Customer service has been mediocre lately, and why are they hiring teeny boppers all of a sudden... Staff turnover is bothersome these last few months, because my coffee drinks are now pretty inconsistent. This past week I also found out they have been substituting skim milk for 2% (without asking the customer is totally wrong). Sorry, but there IS a difference... At least Shilla next block over tells me they're sorry and are out of something, instead of just making the decision to substitute on their own. Bon Appetite also substitutes a certain bread as a sandwich side, if they've run out of potato chips - but they don't tell you that until the food is out... and the customers I've seen just let it go - or question the side sub after the waitress has left... Their mocha bubble smoothie is good (pre mixed) but still - very good compared to other flavors of bubble smoothies... Bubble smoothies just all seem to be pretty crappy on Rt. 40, so I wouldn't get their fruit ones... But their boboa is consistent. read more

A very nice bakery with lots of options at decent prices! Great service and cashier gave me a free pastry. Will definitely go back!

The people are friendly, but the food quality is just... meh. Very quiet at what should have been near peak lunchtime. Should have been a warning. While it looks like they try to look like they provide options for a light lunch, the menu's limited. Really, this is a coffee shop and Korean bakery. But even the baked stuff seemed a touch weary looking. read more

Bon Appetit Bakery & Cafe has burst on the scene with sweets, bread and sandwiches, although it is all but hidden from Rte 40 in Ellicott City. The new bakery offers up a Korean-tinged variety accessible to anyone. Sweets for a snack. Cakes for a special occasions. Sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. And there are red bean donuts. Oh, I love red bean sweets, and Bon Appetit's rice donuts are bulked-up donut holes -- a really nice balance between the filing and the surrounding fried dough. Check out Bon Appetit because you can't go wrong. The sweets are terrific. Madelines, donuts, mnju, and three kinds of castella. The last two are Japanese pastries, although I only learned that on Wikipedia. Bon Appetit could use some explanations -- a few lines about each variety to tell you what you can buy. The cakes are obvious. An entire case is filled with formal-looking cakes and tortes. I assume they're a Korean style because I have seen similar ones at La Boulangerie and the bakery at the front of H Mart. Those would make a birthday or an office party. My wife doesn't like cake, so I have never bought one yet. But the rest of the place is definitely a chance to explore. On Sunday, they were offering green tea donuts. Not my favorites, but certainly something to try. Much of the items are individually wrapped, so you can grab one to try. This time, I tried lightly-salted bread sticks that were crisp and perfect with soup, Next time, I'm going to get the cookies that look like smiley faces. On top of all the sweets, you can also get sandwiches or bubble tea. You can also get breakfast sandwiches, and the egg sandwiches were cheap. From the effort put into the pastries, I assume that they're paying attention to all those items as well. I'd love to hear if you lunch there. (Update: One thought. I have to be honest that you can go wrong with some of the savory breads. They were tasting a "pizza baguette" that didn't thrill me. Not terrible, but you should eat sweets at Bon Appetit and get your pizza elsewhere.) read more
