    A closeup of the Nephew's bite-sized pack of cream puffs
    Sarah C.

    Back in the days of old, mom and dad usually brought my nephew to this nearby Korean bakery. Since they're resting in peace, I'm continuing the practice. He's a local and when I visit (often) it's an easy stop since they're inside Lotte Plaza Market. Uber-convenience brings us back for more. After grocery shopping in Lotte, having lunch next door, or finishing a meal at the food court also inside Lotte - a cinch. These folks sell popular Korean pastries similar to Shilla and other k-bakeries. We routinely eye and grab the same goodies. Nephew likes: -Cream puffs: Bite-sized; fun for kids -Soboro: Korean streusel bread w/peanut crumble topping -Milky slushy taro boba smoothie My picks pair well w/black coffee or plain tea: -Steamed cake: Very spongy bouncy cake - fave -Castella cake: Firm sponge cake -Madeleines: Do you see a pattern here? :) We usually pay by cash and I'm guessin' they've nicknamed me "quarters" lol. No elaboration needed, right? Friendly easygoing staff always ready to share a smile. They offer a medley of pastries and cakes so give this local spot a go.

    My family loves the Asian pastries here. We regularly get the red bean, coconut cream, custard cream, and butter cream. But have also gotten mocha cream and ham. Their mango bubble drinks are the best (as determined by my children!). More like creamy milkshakes and rich in flavor. The cappuccino bubble drink is great too. Located in the Lotte Plaza Asian/International Market.

    It's so tempting to stop here after a grocery trip to Lotte since it's right by the left entrance/exit and there are dozens of delicious looking baked treats on display. I really like the consistency of their bubble teas; they make their thicker, almost like a milkshake, and their boba (the little round things) always taste fresh, chewy, and delicious. I've tried the mango and taro flavors, and I like both although the mango tastes nothing like real mango. It's still good though. A medium size bubble tea is $2.99 and a large is $3.99, so the prices are great. I haven't tried a bunch of the baked items except for the little macaron looking things. They were okay - very airy and extremely sweet. They pair well with hot coffee for sure. I love how friendly the employees always are, and I also love the handmade signs. They add a unique touch. They always have free samples out to try by the register as well. Among the hidden treasures inside Lotte, this place is definitely worth trying.

    Look at the ugly handwriting...

    I'm only giving this 1 star review for the bakery place in Lotte Plaza. This is the cake I got today, look at the ugly handwriting. Please, anyone can do better than that. I've NEVER seen uglier handwriting on a cake than this one. I'm so disappointed. On top of that, when my dad went to pick up the cake, the cashier just grabbed a cake from the display, and my dad said he didn't want that one because we pre-ordered it a few days ago, and obviously it wasn't freshly made today. Then the cashier got one from the back, which we don't know if it was made today or a couple days ago. Again, the cake didn't have any writing on it, but we requested when we pre-ordered it. So they probably just took the cake to the back and did the writing while my dad was waiting. Anyways, you all can see how ugly that writing is. Did they hire a 5 year old to do that? Who knows. I'm just letting you guys see it. If you guys don't wanna ruin your birthday and waste your money, then DON'T order cake from them. Enough said.

I wasn't completely sure I could serve myself and checked with an employee who was restocking the goods - she was friendly and helpful! Everything has labels of when it was baked and when it will be discarded. The restaurant itself was clean but the seats could use a good cleaning. Overall, it was great!

Both had oat milk and were creamy and delicious. I think we drank them down in seconds. I also purchased a chocolate avalanche pastry. Since it's a French bakery, I had expected the pastry to be rich in chocolate and not sweet. Instead, it was the opposite. I'm not sure how the other dessert-based pastries are but I'm leery now. The person who took our order wasn't pleasant by any means, but I gave a tip anyway in case they were just overwhelmed and didn't feel like being welcoming. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating with some seating outdoors. The only issue with the environment is that there was a high whistle that filled the entire establishment. That inspired us to leave sooner than expected. Our greatest disappointment was to see that with all of their plastic cups that they did not have any recycling bins.

I had to hold some restraint because I would have bought everything cause its that good. They are sort of similar to Tous Le Jour. Its gonna have to be a must stop here when im at Rockville Town Center. Service is amazing!! It goes get busy especially on the weekends! There's a nearby parking garage that's free for 1st 90 minutes.

There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

    Wow! We loved it…read more Everything we got was really good. We like to pick out 4-5 things and then taste them and take them to go. Here, we got a few items, sat down and after we tasted them, got another 4 things and tasted those and wanted to get more. We didn't because that would be too much sugar (but nothing was overly sweet of course). I can't believe that it took me years to step in here. I've been sleeping on one of the best Asian bakeries . Don't hesitate to stop in and just try a few things. I can't imagine it being disappointing! Like other yelpers have said- they will come from VA to get their fix. That's no small compliment.... It's not easy to get here from VA... people from DC don't want to make the hike up! But if you pair a stop here with the Vietnamese Ba Le or Thai place Kimm In... pretty good! The Indian place and Vietnamese cafe in this plaza also look decent! The bakery is well ACed in the heat and it's clean and cute... not a huge bakery but it was really quite nice. Can't wait to come back!

    The cakes are good hence why I ordered several fruit sheet cakes for my wedding. I had asked if…read morethey could do a custom design (just the piping, no fruit on top) on their taro cake and they said they could try. They did not say they wouldn't be able to do it at all. If they couldnt, they should have said so clearly that it was a no. So imagine my surprise when I got the cake at my wedding and it was just one of their display taro cake design with the fruit on top. If you aren't able to do the design at all, it would be better to just tell me that you can't at all. I had bought the cake toppers and ribbons (which they said I would need to get and I did) to add to the cake but it looked weird with the fruit on it. We ended up not cutting the cake at all at my wedding but we passed out the regular sheet cake which our guests enjoyed. The regular cake and baked goods are fine - just don't ask for anything custom.
