Not as good as Bliss bakery in little Tokyo marketplace. Got macarons ($2 each) & choco bun ($3.95). 4/5 The chocolate macaron was the only 1 that had a strong enough flavor. 2/5 The rest of the macarons lacked flavor. I believe I got pistachio, coffee, & passionfruit. 2/5 The chocolate bun is nowhere near as good as PB's chocolate cream bun or Tous Les Jour's. There isn't enough chocolate in the bun. The top has a hard exterior & the whole bun hardened when I heated it thrice. Never happened with other bakeries.

Assorted baked goods, $15.65

Bosco Bakery Cafe is located in Koreatown Plaza on Western Avenue, right in front of H Mart. Since my husband and I were already on the other side of this shopping mall (at Cheesetella in the food court), we decided to check out this bakery to hopefully pick up some baked breads for the week. After browsing and walking around, we ended up purchasing: Custard Cream, $2.95- My husband picked this baked good and enjoyed the custard inside. Milk France, $2.95- This long baked treat is filled with a nice cream, and covered in powdered sugar. The powdered sugar will most likely be messy but is a nice tasty dessert that surprisingly wasn't too sweet with that messy powdered sugar. Sesame Bread, $3- I liked this bread, as it had a nice chew. Inside the bread is empty by the way. Chestnut Sandwich, $4- We picked this loaf for my mother so that she could take it to work. She enjoyed it. Manju, $2.75- My husband took this to work with him so I didn't get a chance to try it. ----------------------------- (Total= $15.65) There is quite a variety of baked goods that you can choose to purchase, each individually packaged. If I was in this plaza or nearby, I would most likely stop by again.

I'm so used to all the Korean bakery chains that I'm a regular at that for some reason I didn't think much of Bosco. I walked by it many times while at the Koreatown Plaza and like Julia Roberts said BIG MISTAKE! HUGE. But now that I've had it several times. I'll never NOT stop again when at the mall. I love picking this and that from their shelves, creating my own personal wonderland of carbs. I like their brownies (both the chocolate and red velvet) with their creative designs and not-too-rich flavors. You'll never go wrong if you get Bosco's Basque cheesecake. It's creamy but light with great flavor. Now let me introduce you o the star of their show. The Hot Dog Bun from Bosco Bakery Cafe is the best I've ever had. No joke! I grew up with these as my go to at Korean bakeries and this was my favorite flavor combination I've ever had. I'm praising this item to the highest! :P Don't overlook Bosco Bakery Cafe like I did. They have good prices, including on full size cakes, plus seating if you want to grab a coffee and chill with the hymonees and hadapogees of Koreatown Plaza.

MOLD!!!!

MOLD!!!! Stopped by today and bought some pastries. After a few bites on their Almond Mochi Saboro scone it tastes sour and noticed the mold!! Based on the prior reviews it looks like molds are common to this place!!

Cafe bun

I love this bakery. Finally found a really good bakery and service is awesome. Me and wife fell in love with the mocha bread, cafe bun, and the cream cheese mochi. Oh and custard cream is so delicious. I still haven't tried the coffee but it's smell delicious. Plenty of parking

Located inside the Koreatown Plaza, Bosco Bakery Cafe is conveniently located near H Mart and other small businesses. Their selections are a wide range. I've only tried a chocolate/vanilla cake and I have to say it was terrible. Very oily and not good texture. I ended up throwing it away after a couple bites and the worse part it costs $8 after a discount. I don't know if I would come back to try the other stuff.

Just wanted to shut out to all the people who love Korean cakes this bakery is absolutely amazing such a large variety of things to choose from . When you walk in, you can't resist that great smell . Pricewise is very reasonable .

This bakery honestly left me speechless!!! Aclose friend of mine would often visit with her hubby to pick up their favorite pastries and wanted to introduce it to me. It's pastry galore if you ask me. You would definitely walk out of there broke. It's too much to choose from at one time. The customer service is beautiful and everything is fresh. What I love about the location is that it's conveniently in the koreatown plaza. So parking isn't an issue. From cakes to cookies and pies, it's definitely a place for the taste buds. A repeat visit is very much necessary. My friend enjoys their croquette bread. She shared it with me and I must admit, it can be quite addictive. I looking forward to another visit because I enjoyed myself very much. I felt welcomed and to be honest that feeling alone makes me want to return and try other pastries.

Some kind of sponge cake with strawberry jam, walnuts and raisins. Super dry.

I walked into this store and not sure I was compelled to buy something. Perhaps it was the nice European decor or the enticing names of some of their cakes. I ended up buying a piece of the orange flavored sponge cake and some 3-layer sponge cake with strawberry jam, walnut, and raisin filling. The cakes themselves were extremely simple which made them quite overpriced. The worst part was the sponge cakes were so dry that I couldn't even swallow without some coffee or tea. Perhaps they should consider adding some Greek yogurt in the batter? Very disappointing. Probably the worst Asian bakery I've encountered.

3.5 stars. Korean bakery conveniently located in the hmart Plaza. Lots of pastries to choose from. They all looked pretty and fresh. Some breads were unexpectedly sweet with too much sugar for my taste but still delicious. I just couldn't finish the whole thing in one setting. Will be back to try more.

Cookie
Isabelle C.

I bought some cookies in the pre packed ones, one of the cookie was brown colored. I thought it was mocha or coffee flavored because of the colors. But it was over cooked and tasted was burnt taste. They shouldn't put this one in the counter for sale!

Better than the regular staples in Washington like Tour Les Jours and 85 Degree but maybe it's because it's...different as in, we don't have these back home. The hot dog bun was good, the bread was sweet and smooooshy. The sandwich was just okay, really ketchup-y. The croquette was pretty good, tasted like a dumpling filling and it was warm. Least impressive was the brownie, you'd think there'd be a lot of different textures and flavors but it was all soft, not fudge-y but sort of cake-y. I got a smidge of salt on one part of the pretzel and that was nice but overall, just okay.

Today May 5 -2023 around 6 pm something I'm buy this cake and I check the cake is already moldy,
Ian C.

Feel upset today May 5-2023 around 6 pm something buy the cake I like, when got home I want to eat the cake when open the plastic bag smell very strong sour and i check the cake hmm is moldy already , I'm so wondering with this store, must be never check everything they have in the store. Not like other cake or bakery store. If I'm live near the area i will returning, I'm live far away

it's my second time back and I am still in love with their pastries and now they have capybara…read moredecorations. even after a year their pastries are still consistent and delicious. their pastries are still flaky and not too oily or sweet. We went on a weekday around 11am and there was still a good selection of pastries, but sadly some were sold out already. elderflower rhubarb danish (4.5/5): one of their brunch specials and it was delightfully tart but sweet at the same time. the flavors really balanced each other out. passion fruit cruffin (4.8/5): my favorite from this visit. you can really taste the passion fruit and it was tart and sweet but not too sweet. very balanced flavor. if anything I wish they had added more passion fruit. garlic chive knot (4/5): another one of their brunch specials. also pretty good but I just wish there was more garlic and chives. the flavor was more mild than I'd prefer but it was still good. parking: small parking lot but there is street parking options available. seating: good amount of outdoor seating I think shared with the rest of the plaza but it wasn't too busy when I went. **when adding an update to my 2025 review I accidentally removed the original pastry photo from then so I had to add it back in **

Been eyeing this spot for quite some time. Parking is easy they have a parking lot but very limited…read morespace, parking on York Blvd didn't seem to have any restrictions either. Not too sure how weekend parking is, I visited on a Wednesday around noon. Neighborhood residential street might be a good option for parking on Avenue 47 but street sweeping (No Parking) is from 8-10am Wednesday on one side and Thursday on the other side. Orange Blossom Almond Croissant -personally was disgusting, orange blossom was extremely strong. Too fragrant that it tasted like a floral bath bomb or soap. Some do like this but it wasn't for me. Tofu Cloud Croissant Toast -cream on top was pretty salted, to help balance the caramelized sugar that helps press the croissant into a toast. Overall, it wasn't wasn't bad but wasn't good and slightly too salted. Passionfruit Croiffin- texture of the croissant/muffin was great! Buttery, flaky and light. Passionfruit cream filling wasn't too sweet. I loved the tart passionfruit seeds. But you might want to scoop some out if you don't enjoy too much sourness. Elderflower Rhubarb Danish - way too crunchy, would prefer it to be crispy instead of a crunch. Filling was good, not too sweet. Black Sesame Parisian Flan -if you love black sesame, this would be right up your alley. Perfect sweet treat to bring to any auntie's home! Blueberry Tea Scone -not too dense. Surprisingly not too sweet even with the demerara sugar coating. It wasn't really crunchy but more sticky and caramelized from sitting.

I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before. The chocopie barely had any filling, just a thin layer of marshmallow and jam. It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off.

And I know that vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting is pretty easy to make, but sometimes I'd rather just buy baked goods than make them for myself, especially when I'm driving past what I thought was a popular (and presumably good) bake shop. I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.
