    I've gone to this cafe a few times since it's close to where I work. I appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and love all the items they have to offer. I normally choose a savory item from the plethora of choices they have. Anything with cheese included always catches my eye. Everything I've picked up here is always fresh and flavorful. There's a good amount of seating for people to come, enjoy the food, and be productive, without feeling like we're too close to another table. Definitely what I would consider a hidden gem in the area.

    Not the first time I'm seeing a bakery serve tiny portions for such whopping prices but this place is certainly not worth that money. The staffs are there just to say yes or no and nothing more. Probably a new employee but that doesn't mean you don't even know where do you keep your salt and pepper in your cafe. Food: We ordered few pastries including a chocolate mousse cake, avocado toast (requested for no eggs, no meat) which usually comes with fried eggs topping and a puff pastry. Except for the avocado toast the pastries were very cold, probably kept there since yesterday. Not just cold it was hard as well. The avocado toast comes with a streak of curry (has meat/ eggs) and fried eggs which we declined at the time of order but without these it was absolutely bland to the core. I understand if it's meant to be eaten with eggs and curry it would have tasted different but atleast expected some creativity there from the chef inside; a simple "No it won't taste good" would have been appreciated. The prices are too much for this little quantity and most importantly the taste isn't so great either. Most part of mousse and the puff pastry felt bland to me. Certainly disappointed. Service and Ambience: The interiors are very nice and well lit for a cafe. The tables could have been cleaned better and no kids high chair here. They do have outdoor seating with 3-4 tables. It's quiet and comfortable on the inside. The service is not that great in my opinion. Had some one at the counter who was probably new and not so well versed with the cafe and the items and in locating few things (salt pepper shaker) we asked for. She was clueless about the menu as she initially said the curry in avocado toast doesn't have any meat/ eggs. When the order arrived there was no curry and thank god we mentioned it upfront. That's where the service comes into picture. If not aware of something I would at least encourage to check with the kitchen. There's just one person to take care of all these things. So certainly needs a lot more staffing. BOTTOMLINE: A very sophisticated place to sit and work but certainly not the best of cakes/ pastries in the town with a sub par service, I would pass on this one if I was you. Should be a 2.5 pointer.

    Beautiful ambience. Really well-decorated. Service is good. The cashier was efficient, but I wanted soufflé pancakes and apparently whoever can make those was not in the back, so they couldn't make them. I was hoping for something fresh, as the pastry items on display, while cute, were stale and did not taste good. Drinks were good - maybe because the cashier/employee made those fresh. I recommend avoiding all of the pastries that are lying out and also the ones in the case. None of it tasted fresh. You can tell from the photos I posted there is absolutely no moisture left in the cake or the bread. Both tasted at least a couple days old.

    Avocado Toast / Latte

    I was in the area and needed a place to sit for maybe an hour or two to crank out some work and get some caffeine. After this visit i definitely added this place to my repeat offenders list! It was peaceful here with a good playlist. I even stayed longer than expected and order a light snack. I ordered a simple Chai tea latte (you can never go wrong with a latte). I will order something more next time because i feel their specialty drinks are probably amazing from the smells that filled the area. I also order the Cajun egg avocado toast because why not? I will say i was not impressed with it but it was exactly what should be expected for avocado toast not much cajun. Cant be mad at that. Lastly, I bought some day old pastries that were 50% off??? WHO WOULD PASS UP THAT?? I wasn't sure what i purchased because they weren't labeled (i'm definitely more trusting and adventurous than others) but i got one of each different thing in the basket. Each one still tasted fresh and i could not complain. I'm confident that i would make the trip to come back out here. The peace i felt is something you don't experience at the coffee shops within the perimeter of ATL.

    I needed a place to hang out and study for a few hours and this cafe was the perfect place. It's OTP but worth the drive. I was captured by the simple modern aesthetic of the interior and how simple the seating area was set up. (Lover of neutral colors and modern aesthetic.) They chose the Tokyo Cafe jazz piano playlist as found on Youtube as the background music (a favorite) and perfect for studying/working. *They have an outlet at every table under the chairs!* They had fresh baked breads & pastries laid out adjacent to the counter and cakes and other cold desserts inside a display. There were just enough options to not overwhelm you. They also serve soufflés and other brunch-like plates, but the kitchen was closed since the manager had stepped out. I was a little disappointed but still in good spirits. I ordered the Strawberry Mocha coffee & grabbed a strawberry-filled bread as a snack. The coffee was blended well and wasn't too bitter or sweet - I really liked it! The bread did not quite taste as fresh as I would have liked but was still delicious. I spent about 3 hours here and was able to get so much work done. I enjoyed my stay here and will be back for more!

    Such a pretty coffee shop. It was Sunday morning and the parking lot was empty. The lady at the counter promptly greeted us . I loved how everything was super clean, but I missed the smell of fresh bread/coffee. I ordered coffee and croissants $5, and a sandwich $8. I appreciated the price point of all the items. Everything came out as orders. The sandwich was a good size. The coffee was good. I would absolutely visit the coffee shop again.

    Jammy Egg Toast
    Eva D.

    --FOOD-- Plenty of cute and healthier food options made in house. I ordered the Jammy Egg Toast and although the eggs were not as jammy as I would've liked overall presentation was very good and it tasted fresh and flavorful. Lots of drink and pastry options as well although I didn't get the chance to try them yet. --SERVICE-- Young man at the counter was not very personable but was very accommodating with adapting my order. Spent the most of the time on his phone with his head down when not interacting with customers but was attentive enough when talked to. Food and drink were delivered to the tables without too much wait. --AMBIANCE-- Cute store with ample seating, lots of natural lighting, and restrooms. Overall very clean and not too loud. Free wifi and lots of outlets makes this a great work or study location.

    Great find! I love visiting new cafes and came across this one today and I really loved it. The place is super nice and bright and well lit. There is good amount of tables. Everything seemed very clean and I loved how cute the interior was decorated. The seats were very comfy and the staff is super friendly. (I think it may be family run business which I always love and appreciate). The drinks were good. I did not get to try the pastries today but they look fresh and delicious with variety of selections available. They also had a "day old" pastry on sale which implied they only keep fresh breads out. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and iced matcha latte. Both were great. Will def be back!

    Vanilla latte

    Cute little cafe. A lot of students working or hanging out. I ordered a vanilla latte, it was simple and basic. I ordered a crossiant sandwich, and it was okay, very dry. I was disappointed in the place, food wise.

    We were meeting up with some friends to catch a movie in the area where they live. We arrived in the shopping center a little earlier than initially expected and decided to pop into this café while we waited. The space is beautiful! Loved the ambiance. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow. We took a fair amount of time to look at the pastries before we finally decided on just a few to try. We chose a matcha bun, a chocolate bun, and a cinnamon bun. You have to order at the counter, and there were two couples ahead of us, each with two young children. They'd ordered more than just pastries, and there was only one employee working at the time. So, we waited at least 20 minutes or so before getting to the counter to pay for our items. We weren't in a hurry and waited patiently, but it wasn't the most ideal. By the time we were finished, it was time for us to head over to the movie theater, so we decided to wait until we got home to try the baked goods. Once we got home and tried everything, we were pretty underwhelmed. Nothing really tasted like what the name implied. It all actually tasted pretty much the same. The matcha bun had zero matcha flavor and the chocolate bun didn't taste like chocolate. The cinnamon bun had a hint of cinnamon, but it definitely wasn't what you'd expect. It all had the same milk bread consistency and basic confectioner's sugar kind of taste. We understood the overall Korean bakery influence, but the quality wasn't anything like what we've had at other places. All in all, it was just okay, and we won't be returning.

    We stumbled upon this venue after trying out dinner in the same plaza. Food: I was informed that the pastry styles are from multiple cultures (Asian/Korean, Italian, Latin, etc). We ended up getting a Triple chocolate delight cake which was okay (but probably won't try again). It had multiple layers filled with sweet and crunchy hazelnut. There were unique looking pastry and plenty of variety. Ambiance: this is where I believe this cafe shines. There was a very cool interior with plenty of spacious seating (green space and window seating). In addition, it was nice to have nice cozy classical jazz playing. The cafe was kept clean and warm. Service: the cashier at the front was very helpful and nice. I would be interested in coming back ~

    Gorgeous cakes!

    We come here often and the vibes are always great in here. They have a nice selection of baked goods and drinks and they are always fast with your order. Owner is out front a lot and is always so sweet and welcoming. Good spot to post up and work out of as it usually isn't difficult to find a seat.

    A cute cozy cafe with a variety of pastries and drinks. I came for the soufflés and so glad I did. Prices are comparable to other cafes in the area. Soufflés are on the expensive side (~$16) but worth the try if you've never had one before. Expect to wait 15-20 minutes for them as they take some time to make. I got the fruit and tiramisu soufflé and both were really good. The soufflé itself was very soft, moist, fluffy and bigger than other ones I've tried at other cafes. The fruit toppings and cream were also very fresh and light and subtly sweet. I didn't experience any bad service as others mentioned in their reviews. We were greeted by two girls who were really nice and attentive. We were asked to leave in the nicest way possible as they were closing soon. I'd definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

    Pastries / Cakes were all dry and small portions for the pricing. Plenty of other options in the area that are far superior in comparison.

    Another Korean bakery and cafe in Duluth, but this one in particular is fairly busy over the…read moreweekends, though not so much that you can't find parking even with other businesses around sharing the lot. I like the interior of the cafe as it reminds me a bit of Stylenanda in Korea (pink!). I can't speak on the drinks, only the pastries and cakes, and yeah, they're good! Probably shouldn't leave any pastries with fruit longer than a few hours since it'll get soggy though. We had a few birthdays to celebrate, and Confections was the go-to choice to for a lot of people this year. Not too sweet cream with fruit and fluffy cake, it was perfect for many in our group. The only cake I would not recommend that I've tried would be the Dubai chocolate cake. Not only is it more expensive, it's smaller than the other offered cakes. As a cake, it doesn't quite match up to Dubai chocolate strawberry cups that you can get elsewhere. The kunafa loses its crispiness being sandwiched between cake, and there isn't much pistachio flavor. I would've expected pistachio cream, but there really wasn't any on this cake. There are more strawberries on the strawberry cream cake, which fair, makes sense, but the Dubai cake wasn't as amazing as it sounded. Just tall. Good thing we had another cake from Confections that day since it was a joint birthday.

SERVICE This bakery allows a cake reservation for special occasions as well as a self-service oven for pastries you want to heat up and enjoy while dining in. III. QUALITY Competitive with surrounding bakeries. They don't disappoint. IV. CAPACITY Less busy on week days during business hours. There's outlets everywhere along the walls and so it's an ideal location to knock out work in peace.

We walked into a small, straightforward space where what stood out immediately was the variety of pastries and baked goods lined up throughout the counter. The setup felt more like a grab-and-go spot, but there were enough interesting items that it made sense to slow down and actually look through what they offered. The main draw here is the bread selection. We spotted items like milk bread, pineapple buns, mochi-based pastries, and savory breads such as pork floss buns, all of which felt freshly made and rotated quickly depending on the day. The milk bread in particular stood out for its soft texture and rich flavor, while the sweeter items leaned more subtle rather than overly sugary. It was the kind of place where we ended up picking a few different things because it was hard to settle on just one. There were also a few refrigerated and specialty items like tarts and filled pastries, which added a bit more variety beyond the standard bakery selection. Some items felt more premium than others, and pricing varied depending on what we picked, but the overall focus was clearly on soft breads and Asian-style baked goods rather than desserts or café-style sweets. The atmosphere was simple and functional since it was inside a supermarket food court area. It was not really designed for sitting and lingering, but the space was clean and organized enough to quickly browse and make a selection. Service was straightforward, and in some cases we were able to sample items before buying, which helped when deciding between different breads. Overall, Shokku Bakery is a solid stop if you are already in the area and want fresh Japanese-style baked goods. It is not a destination bakery in terms of ambiance, but the quality of the breads and variety of options make it worth visiting for a quick pick-up, especially if you enjoy soft milk bread and classic Asian bakery items.
