Bread Corner is probably the best asian bakery I've come across on the east coast. The breads are being made all day in-store so that they are available fresh to customers. The store itself smells heavenly with all the baking in progress. Whenever I'm in the area, I always buy extras to bring back home with me even though lugging a big box of buns on the plane isn't really ideal. Whatever. It's so worth it. Not even the bakeries in Boston can top them. My favorites are: -Egg tarts -Custard bun with pineapple topping -Cream cheese bun -Roasted pork bun -Coconut raisin bun They used to have buy 5 get 1 free all week, but now I think it's only Mon-Fri. FYI for all you not from the area: bring your own bag because they charge 5 cents per bag now - apparently that's the county's new carry-out plastic bag law. I didn't get why they gave me a receipt for just my 5-cent bag though. Maybe I might have wanted to return it. read more

Finally got a chance to stop by this past weekend. I was surprised by how small the bakery actually was, a sliver of a suite around the corner from Popeyes. I guess I was expecting something grander, and more on the scale of the Shilla chain. Modest size and all, Bread Corner provides the BEST Chinese pastries in the Washington DC area. The Portuguese egg tarts are amaaaaaazing! Bread Corner's version is delightfully fluffy (I have beef with egg tarts that are too slim, heavier on crust and light on filling), eggy, creamy, and extremely satisfying. And their passion fruit bubble tea is comparable to something I've had at Kung Fu Tea, which is my gold standard for good bubble tea in this area. Biting into the mochi taro pastry now as I type--so fragrant, not too sweet, and nuanced. Bread Corner's an hour away from where I live, but I think I may be willing to make at least monthly trips here for their superlative pastries and drinks. One-hour drive is still better than nine hours--the amount of time it would take to my favorite Chinese bakery in the whole wide world, Sweet Hut! Bread Corner is definitely on Sweet Hut's level, though it has a smaller selection than the former. read more

My friend and I were craving of egg tarts after lunch, so we drove to bread corner for their egg tarts. My friend loved their egg tarts and my prefer the Portuguese style ones, but both were delicious! The surprise of the da was the one cheese tart that I got for free by checking in on Yelp, it was amazingly yummy!!! I got chocolate muss cake and the green tea one as well, but they were quite disappointing, especially the green tea doesn't taste like green tea at all, I hope they could use matcha powder or actual concentrated tea to make the cake. read more

This place opened up recently and you can smell the delicious smell of bread from outside the shopping plaza. The bread is baked fresh every morning and I really liked the pineapple bun and ham and cheese bun. Their iced coffee is also really good and the people who work there are very friendly. The only problems I have is that they open at 9am everyday so it's too late for me to stop by before going to work and they only have 2 tables so if you want to sit in and eat, you better not get there when they are busy. read more

One bite with your eyes closed and you might think you were in Taiwan. Nothing beats the wafting perfume of freshly baked Asian buns, plush and round, filled with sweet and savory. I don't even need to attempt to find another Asian bakery in the D.C. area. One bite and I knew I came to the right place. You're really not going to beat it around here! Walk in and you're greeted in Chinese. There's only one wall but it's filled with delicious treats, so yummy smelling you'll be craning your neck to try and see the racks of buns waiting to invade the shelves. The round buns are better than the puff pastry style. They are perfectly soft, chewy but not raw, sweet dough. The tuna and corn bun is a nice twist! The shredded pork bun with butter cream inside is slightly crunchy and sweet, a melt in your mouth sinful bite. The Asian style cheesecake is super light and fluffy, with subtle cheese flavoring. Slightly spongier than I prefer, but so airy that you don't feel bad finishing the whole thing! Can't wait to come and try more bread. Also hear their Asian cakes are amazing. My favorite! Nothing beats fluffy white cake layered with light whipped cream and fresh fruit slices. Salivating until I get to return, and so jealous that my boyfriend lives two miles away.... Did mention that we bought five or six buns and an Asian cheesecake, for under twelve bucks? Sighh. read more

my parents have been coming to this asian bakery for years, and for good reason: their baked goods are always fresh and delicious. the staff is also very friendly, probably b/c we keep coming here and they know my parents by name and face now. some of favourite items to get here: *chocolate croissant - soft, flaky croissant with a touch of chocolate. *coconut cream bun - freshly baked bun, sprinkled with coconut flakes on top, with a generous heap of vanilla cream in the middle. *baked taro pastry - flaky crust on the outside with soft taro root on the inside. i like that this one isn't overly sweet. they also have sandwiches and savory/salty baked goods here. this is my #1 choice of bakery when i go back to my hometown to visit. read more

Delicious! I thought Bread Corner would get some serious competition when the other Asian Bakery opened up right around the corner, but hands down with no doubt, other bakeries don't even come close. Warm and friendly service, and a solid greeting every time you walk through the door. Endless selection of baked goods, and a few other cold desserts in the refrigerator. Solid items you gotta try? The pork buns and egg tarts! I never leave the bakery without them. Especially when baked goods are buy 5, get 1 free! I've introduced so many people to the pork buns and every last person responds with a big smile and a request for a 2nd bun. To earn it's last star, Bread Corner should continuously bake throughout the day, because I've showed up around 5-6 PM on a weekday before, and wasn't left with many choices. The place is also pretty small, so it gets cramped really fast during a busy hour, and there's only about seating for 4-6 people. Love it! read more

If you've got a hankering for some Chinese style breads, check out Bread Corner. It's not in the most convenient of places, but they have the goods to make up for it. The inside and offerings are just what you'd expect from any Chinese bakery - lots of individually wrapped pastries and breads on trays that you scoop up onto your own. I think there is a buy 5, get 1 free deal that usually always happens. Anyway, the quality is good, their buo luo bao is solid. The egg tarts are good but pricey. I stick with the breakfast buns usually. For those uninitiated, the Asian style "normal" white bread is different from any other kind of white bread you'll usually encounter - it's smoother and buttery-ier but not greasy or heavy. If that makes any sense. read more

The best Chinese bakery in the DMV area! Its so hard to exert self control here and you inevitably leave with way more bread than you can eat. My favorites: - chocolate bread! (literally filled with chocolate. what could possibly go wrong?) - red bean mochi bread - pineapple bing (flaky flat pastry filled with pineapple goodness) - roasted pork bun For maximum happiness, go in the morning, when almost everything is fresh out of the oven warm and completely amazing. For epic fail, rush in 10 minutes before they close, when you realize that they literally have 3 buns left and no amount of begging will produce the chocolate bread you're so desperately craving. read more

The name is a little misleading, since the place is not even on a corner, but it is definitely one of the best bakeries in town, serving up yummy Chinese baked goods and pastries! It didn't get the perfect 5-star rating from me because they run out of items really quick, which at times is very disappointing, especially when you rush home from work to fill your chocolate bread craving. The service can be a little inconsistent and a bit rude, especially when they find out you're not Chinese and don't speak the language, but I think I'm willing to overlook all of this due to their fantastic breads and satisfying Jasmine Green tea. My favorites here include the chocolate filled bun, cheese filled bun, Portuguese egg tarts, bread roll with pork floss and scallions...pretty much everything I've had here has been very enjoyable to eat. If you buy 5 breads you get 1 free, but unfortunately this offer does not apply to the egg tarts :( The countless amount of times I've been there, I've only been able to get bubbles with my Jasmine Green tea once, all the other times they've run out. The bubbles aren't that great, so it's not that big of a deal. You get the best bang out of your buck here. They fill the breads to the brim with whatever you get, unlike another Chinese bakery right down the Pike...(ehemm....Maria's Bakery...ehemmmm....) read more

I appreciate this place for baked goods but the service leaves some things to be desired. While I was previously always helped by an older lady who was courteous enough to give me free bubble tea whenever my rewards had enough points, today the younger lady at the counter didn't stop to consider that and also had my bubble tea made after the gentleman that ordered after me. To be fair, it was pretty slammed but when I'm ordering before my commute to work and it makes me late, it's frustrating and disappointing. read more

This is by far the best Asian bakery in the area. Rockville has a multitude of great Asian places, and Bread Corner is one of them. For those looking for that Asian bakery experience, definitely come here. There are a TON of winners. Here is my short list of breads we usually get: pineapple bread, egg tarts, hot dog bread, and pork & scallion bread. There are plenty more; all are freshly made. They also do bubble tea and cakes. Oh! There is a buy 5 get one 1 free deal as well. After visiting the oh-so-famous 85C Bakery in Irvine/LA, I can still safely say that for me, Bread Corner comes out on top. It is the sleeper of bakeries. It is also very nicely located; the great Mama's dumplings restaurant, Bob's, and Jumbo Jumbo is just down the street. I usually tend to finish up my Rockville food experience here before I head back home. read more

If you asked me a month ago what the best chinese bakery in town was, I would've replied Maria's down near the Rockville REI. Now, I'd have to say Bread Corner because it has rocked my world...though Marias come to a close second because they have cake =D This place has a huge selection of bread, stuff breads, and chinese pancakes with filling (I'm refering to bing). Their egg tarts and croissants are to die for. A few of my favorites things: - Portuguese Style Egg Tart - Cheesecake - Croissant - Winter Melon Bing It's also nice to get milk tea here. They will customize your drink for you - how much ice you want, how much milk you want, how much sugar, etc etc etc. The staff is super friendly as well. They check up on you to make sure everything's ok. They'll immediately come to help if you have a question or a perplexed look on your face (I've had many of these moments). Hope you guys love this place as much as I do!!! read more

Love this place! Fresh baked goods and awesome po-tats!! Always stop here when we are in the area (live in VA).

Tasty bread and cake. Lots of choices to choose. I love their cake. I am not very into their bubble tea, but some of my friends love it. They are the best Asian bakery in MD. I also ordered custom made cake from them too. Everyone who have ate the cake I ordered only leave positive feedback. read more

This is such a cute little spot to stockpile some baked goods for the week's breakfast, I've been coming here for a while and I always leave satisfied. I love the cupcakes, coconut raisin bread, custard buns, hot dog buns, and pineapple top buns. The Portuguese egg tarts are amazing, the custard is nicely set and the crust is nice and flaky. I've also gotten a few desserts from there before, the strawberry and mango mousse cakes are very nice and the tiramisu is pretty good too! You pretty much can't go wrong here :) read more

They are running the buy 8 get 1 free special, although it's hard to buy 8 unless you have a big family as you really should eat them fresh. This reminds me of the BreadTalk chain that's all over China/Singapore/Asia. Very similar offering, less variety then in China of course, but still, the ones I tried taste similar. Very glad they opened here in DC area (and so close to my work). I am going to try to sample all they have to offer...very excited. read more

For my grandmother's birthday, my aunt bought a fruit half-sheet cake. I must say- I think I found the cake I've been looking for here in the US. Like a typical Asian, I've always thought most cakes in the bakeries here are too sweet. I've searched and searched but am always disappointed. But alas! The search is over. They didn't skim on the half-sheet cake. For about $70, you get a generous size. It was definitely more than enough to feed the 30+ family members. A few of us even took some home. So why the four-stars when I've raved and raved about it? Well, I tried their bread about a week ago. They're as good as the ones you can get from Maria's and GW. Their egg tart isn't as good as GW's too. The price is also more expensive when compared to Maria's and GW. The store is also a bit crowded on Saturdays. My husband had to wait outside because it really was crowded. FYI, they have a minimum of $10 to charge something on the credit card. read more

I came just for their egg custard and it was delicious. Get their "Portuguese" ones. My kids said their chocolate croissant was the best they've ever tasted. read more

Bread Corner - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Super moist and chewy bread! I living in VA, so it's tough (impossible) to find anything but Koreano bakeries. I really felt like Bread Corner was a quality bakery, unlike some of the others who display lackluster tarts and cakes they baked last week. I came around 10:30 on a Sat morning and the goods were FRESH. We already know the egg tarts are delicious, but my favorite savory treat was the onion roll with dried pork inside. It's what I used to devour when I was a kid... but it's even better than I remembered. The dough was just so.... good! The bubble teas were also good. What I liked was that they asked how sweet I wanted my drink. This means they're not just schloping tea, milk, sweeter around willy nilly. They actually put everything in a shaker and shook my drink (a ala starbucks) prior to pouring. I like that :) Do yourself a favor and visit one day. I recommend coming earlier than later. They do sell out of items during they day. You've been warned... don't while when you can't get your roasted pork buns ;) read more

Bread corner, I had high hopes for you. I came in around 10am on a Saturday and you had very little variety as far as baked goods go, I was looking for honey brick toast or taro bread, or an almond puff pastry, or maybe even something with matcha--but no dice. Your bubble tea was so syrupy that it was reminiscent of cough syrup. The texture of the tea was overwhelmingly sticky, and until the ice melted, the boba was too stuck together and sticky to even make it up the straw. I'm hopeful that I just got the tail end of a bad batch of boba--but based on the time of day I visited, I'm skeptical. However, I'd still give it another chance. I miss the Taiwanese bakeries in Southern California, and thought you'd be the answer. The service was very friendly, and helpful, and looked genuinely happy to see a new face in their shop. The teas with tapioca are so fairly priced, the place down the street wants $5.30 for a comparable beverage. The teas are simple and the small menu should allow them to make a few drinks well. If the drink had less syrup, I think it would be serviceable. read more

4.5 stars. Oh Bread Corner. Your egg tarts are so incredibly tasty. They're the best ones I've had on the east coast. When I was still in school in Boston, we came up with a song for our pastry sales...and I wrote new lyrics for you. Seriously, that's how much I love your egg tarts. I stopped by to pick up an unhealthy number of egg tarts (sorry folks, I'm not admitting how many ^^" yes lady, my boyfriend and I are really going to eat THAT many) and a few other pastries--everything I had from here was delicious! I haven't tried teas or anything else here--I actually haven't had any of their savory buns either...so can't speak to that... but seriously. egg tarts. i only wish they were a little cheaper--it's a tad expensive :/ if you go, can you an extra (dozen or so) egg tarts for me? read more

Excellent cake!!! I got one for my mom's birthday, the matcha green tea cake was so light and fluffy and not too sweet! read more

Bread Corner - Matcha green tea cake - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Picked up an assortment of baked goods here today, and they did not disappoint. I especially enjoyed the cream cheese filled pastry, amazingly delicious. The breads with the red bean paste were not as good, but still enjoyable. The tiramisu had good craftsmanship to it with strong espresso flavoring. Probably not a bakery I would go out of my way to go every time, but if you are in the area it is definitely worth to stop by. read more

Egg tarts here are simply wonderful. Lots and lots of selection for Chinese bread, it seems they bake their stuff the very same day, many time I would have the pleasure of picking up something that is still hot. Also have unique selections where the close by Chinese bakery doesn't have. Very friendly workers, every time I walk in I am greeted with "welcome." The place is also pretty clean. read more

I like the coconut raisin loaf and the milky mix. They just open a new store at Annandale. I will recommend this place to my friends. read more

Bread Corner - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Go into this Chinese bakery in the Rockville City Center at your peril. Everything is baked fresh daily and looks too tempting, from the Portuguese egg custard tarts to the plump and flaky croissants. There are plenty of Chinese sweet buns, like the red bean and the coconut custard buns, as well as savory pastry rolls and buns. The bread is typically the soft dough that the Chinese seem to prefer. After 7.30 at night there are deals to be had. Tea and bubble tea is made to order and there are a couple of tables in the window so you can eat in. http://www.eatwashington.com/article/my_favorite_markets_bread_corner/ read more

Came in randomly and I was surprised by their bakery! The sweet level is exactly I like. Taro mochi bread and sweetheart cookies are the best! I also got green bean pastry with egg yolk inside, but it looks and tastes like red bean paste inside. Not sure if they made it wrong or not read more

It's been a long time that I had Taiwanese style bread/bun. There are many bakeries but most of them are Cantonese style. I bought four different buns and one Portuguese egg tart. All of them tasted good,especially the one with coconut flavor. I think there's still slight difference between bakeries in Taiwan and this bakery, but overall, I love there. I will definitely go there again. BTW, 10% coupon is on their website! read more

I customized my cake there, they did exactly what I asked for. The cake was delicious and fluffy and the price was very reasonable

Love this place! I never know what to get whenever I come here because they have so many options. Their breads are soft and filling, especially their savory ones. However, there have been times when the breads I buy do not have enough filling in them. Not a big deal though, since it's a rarity and the breads themselves are tasty without fillings anyway. I've only tried one of their cakes in the display so far. It was delicious, but IMO was still not worth the price I paid for it. Their pastries are pricey compared to their packed breads counterparts...Sometimes, they do have breads, pastries, etc. in the cooler by the register being sold for a lower price. Note that these are products closing in to their sell by date. As for their bubble tea...Don't get it. Just don't. You're in Rockville; trust me, there are many more places that have far better tasting bubble tea, and prices run for about the same amount. Staff is friendly. Don't forget to bring cash since there's a $10 card minimum--what I think is a little too much for a bakery. There is indoor seating, but only for two. There's no point dining in because placement of the table makes the whole experience claustrophobic and awkward. Overall, it's a pretty nice bakery. I come here when I'm on the run and need something to fill me up until my next meal. Recommended. read more

Heard great things about this place and decided to order Mango Dream for my friend's birthday. Yummy cake! Great service - comes with candles and cake knife! read more

Bread Corner - Bakeries Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

See all

5 stars for the baked goods but the Boba here isn't good/made properly. The milky swirl bread which looks like a regular loaf of sliced bread but actually has the taste and consistency of the best croissant you've ever had makes me wish I didn't live across the street- I'm addicted. This is a seriously good bakery and worth a try. read more

5-star for Taiwanese-style bread on east coast! If you are from Taiwan, it's like the bakery at the corner you'd get a bread after school as you grew up. Well, enough nostalgia, but it's real. I would not say it's a superb bakery, but it is by far the only real Taiwanese bread with a regular hometown standard. Don't expect something spectacular, it's just homey and normal. =) Come for a taste of home! read more

I brought the coconut tart, egg tart, Portuguese egg tart and different pork buns. They were all so good!!!!! My favorite would have to be the Portuguese egg tart, it's the best I had so far :) read more

Bread Corner is going to be the death of us. It's within a 10 minute walk from our house and their buns and tarts are just so delicious and so cheap! Most items are about $1.30 each and they will all make you swoon with delight. They've got both sweet and savory items - great for breakfast, dessert or just a random snack whenever. So far, our favorites have been the pork & scallion bun and the custard bun, but we haven't been disappointed yet. With their buy 5, get 1 free, it's easy to grab a few days worth of buns/snacks for under $10. Just make sure to eat them soon as they do go stale in about 2 days. But why would you let this pockets of heaven just sit around that long to begin with? read more

Have to admit.. I've been missing me some Asian food lately. After living in Asian bakery land with boba shops on every corner, I got used to having easy access to fresh breads and pastries. Nowadays, not so much. Alas, it was time to use my day off to hunt down some bread and boba! Bread Corner has a small selection of baked goods, but all of the basics are there. Pineapple buns, hot dog buns, egg tarts, loaves of bread, fruit cakes, etc. I picked up 3 items and so far they're a tad dry but otherwise decent. Prices for the buns range from 1.50 to 2.50, so they don't hurt the wallet to try. They also have a small selection of milk teas (black, coffee, jasmine green, taro) and I think a few fruity teas as well. I got the taro milk tea half sweetened and it was just okay, not mind blowing. I wasn't expecting to be though. For the price, I'd come back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. This place can also be a bit hard to find.. you turn into the shopping center like you're going to the grocery store, but turn right and you'll see it hidden behind the Popeyes. read more

This place rocks! I love their egg tarts and pineapple buns. It's a nice little shop tucked in a strip mall by the Giant supermarket. Everything is honestly good and baked fresh on premises. The place is a little expensive if you're used to Taiwan prices, but I think it's priced fairly. Keep it mind there is a credit card minimum and they now charge a bag tax like everyone else Maryland. Usually its nice to go to Bob's a few minutes away for lunch and come here right after! read more

I love their Taiwanese-style breads! My favorite kind--ever since I was a kid-- is the bread filled with cream and dusted with coconut. I'm also a fan of the almond cream cheese flavor, the coconut and raisin and the super light and fluffy "cupcake" (both regular and chocolate versions. On weekdays, you can buy five and get one free. Their bubble tea is pretty decent too; it's not overly sweet and you can definitely taste the tea. It can get really busy on weekends so they may run out if you go later in the day, and the space can be a a little cramped, but it's definitely worth checking out. read more

I purchased a few bread this week. They were not fully cooked. I even baked them at home for additional time but they still tasted raw. I am not coming back. read more
