Came here to get a breakfast pastry while in the area. Brecotea is a Korean inspired bakery that…read morealso has hot and cold beverages, breads, cakes, and savory sandwiches as well. The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

We went away with a golden dragonfruit, (which piqued the interest of my five year old), a package of bourbon creams, (which piqued the interest of my Scottish husband who cant't find them in the places we usually shop), a bulk package of lentils, some indian packaged snacks, and some jacob's cream crackers. We left without any british chocolate much to my husband's dismay, but next time we shop there I will arrive with a list prepared for items needed for asian dishes I'd like to make, and we can grab a chocolate bar then!

I would totally order from them again. I couldn't get out today and did an online order. I look forward to checking them out in person and being able to experience the shop ambiance.

I had a pretty good experience from service to the quality of the menu items that I got. There were 4 staff members that were there taking and making orders. Even though I came in at a busy time, I didn't have very long to wait until I got my drink order. I grabbed a strawberry magic stick, an ube bun and a pineapple bun along with a mango orange tea. The strawberry magic stick and the pineapple bun were delectable and the ube bun was perfect. Ube isn't very sweet, and I'm glad that this cafe stayed true to the ube flavor instead of adding a lot of sugar or altering the actual taste! The mango orange tea perfectly pared with the pastries! They have bottled drinks and cakes as well, but I didn't get to try them! They have a handful of tables and chairs inside, and they had quite a bit of people in there. It seems like they are a fave spot for locals. Some customers were just hanging out and some had laptops out, so they might be a good spot to do some work, too. They also have some merch on shelves (plushies and cups) if you're interested in that kind of thing. Definitely recommend if you're craving some treats!

Whether you're planning a breakfast or lunch date with a friend, grabbing a coffee, or just need a cozy workspace to get some things done, Brecotea is the place. This bakery offers both sweet and savory treats! I ordered the Bacon Stick, which was to die for-- the cheese and bacon combo just melted in my mouth., The Savory Chicken Sandwich, which now lives rent-free in my head, was perfectly seasoned and toasted to perfection. Finally the Strawberry Danish, which was just okay. The minute I walked through the door, I was greeted by both delicious treats and friendly service. The staff was efficient, attentive, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this bakery and definitely plan to visit again soon!
