    Strawberry Mousse
    Maria P.

    OK, sometimes people aren't friendly. It wasn't an issue for me but it's something other people mentioned. Even so, it shouldn't deter you from purchasing. The desserts are PHENOMENAL. One my of favorite qualities about Asian desserts is the delicate sweetness. I took the chance and ordered some with a colleague...thoroughly impressed. The only item I've tried before was the strawberry mousse. So let's get to it. The mousse is delicately sweet, the matcha puff will satisfy your office tea lover (no bitterness), the coffee chiffon tastes like your favorite cappuccino in dessert form without the sugar crash, the custard bun and whipped cream bun WILL be office favorites, the pineapple bun is a perfect vessel for butter with a fried egg, the taro donut is happiness, the red bean mochi has a pillowy texture with subtle sweetness only a bean could provide, and the egg yolk mooncake is like nothing I've experienced. This could easily be a love or hate item. It's love for me :) The ambiance is perfect for a quick bite with friends or a date, but it's just as easy ordering through Uber or taking items to go. It's located in the Ritchie Center (where Darcars Chrysler and IHOP is, next to El Mariachi on Rockville Pike). Enjoy :D

    Super cute lil bakery and market! Lots of options and I appreciate that there's an option that's dairy/egg free I've been craving moon cakes and this was a nice little treat! Also got the ham and onion roll and that was delicious too! Casual fast service that was very quick and easy!

    I literally travel from VA just to satisfy my bread cravings--and Japong is the only place that does it for me. Despite the number of Asian bakeries in VA, none of them compare. Japong's breads are soft, slightly sweet, and always freshly baked. You can definitely taste the difference when it's fresh out of the oven. My go-to favorites are the pork floss bun, the pork floss with scallion, ham, and corn, and the coffee bun. I've also tried their roll chiffon cakes, and those are delicious too! If you're looking for authentic Asian-style bread, Japong is hands down the best in town. Highly recommend! Just don't expect a trendy, Instagrammable Korean-style bakery--Japong is a more straightforward, no-frills spot focused on quality and taste.

    Felt like some Japanese pastries, so I decided to try something new. Found this spot on Yelp and the reviews didn't lie as it is YUMMM! My husband and I both ordered matcha drinks - his with strawberry and mine classic. We also got savory and sweet pastries. Every single thing was delicious. There's a ton of selections for pastries and a smaller drink menu but don't let that sway you because it is all good. I will be back to try more and highly recommend!

    I am so delighted to have discovered this gem of a bakery! I have come across many Asian bakeries but this Taiwanese one in particular stands out with its unique offerings. The store is clean and spacious with plenty of seating. Customer service was very helpful and friendly. Prices are reasonable. And most importantly, their baked goods are so delicious and worth the visit. I will have to make a pit stop here next time I'm in Rockville!

    Love, love, love Japong Bakery!! So many sweet and savory tasty treats, and they put out fresh new items throughout the day. Very reasonable prices on both bakery items and drinks, as well as full cakes. I really like that this bakery is open later in the day, so you can still grab something for a weekend afternoon craving. The seating area is super cute, comfortable, and clean as well. One of our favorite places to visit!

    This is a Taiwanese bakery. They have delicious daily baked goods, Coffee , tea and Taiwanese snacks for sale as well. We are very happy to discover this bakery . They have many Japanese style baked goods here. Like the Japanese style cheesecake, golden cake, mini pancakes filled with milky cream, chocolate sesame pan, green tea bread, and many other unique style pastries that we have not seen in other Asian shops. Clean store with adequate amount of tables and seatings. Friendly and Efficient customer service. Items are reasonably priced. Open Parking spaces out front and on the side. Highly recommend by IG@WineDinenVacay

    Update January 2025 This place still is a gem! Definitely worth checking out. They have tons of drink options and bakery items. If certain bakery items aren't sold, then they will sell them for half off the following day. Highly recommend their pork floss items. Also their milk bread and taro breads are good too. Worth checking out if you are in the area.

    Nice Asian bakery that offers a great selection of breads, pastries and cute cakes! Breads are fresh and reasonably priced. The place is pretty busy with people coming in and out, but you can also enjoy your purchase at the tables inside the store. I was really impressed with a wide variety of asian breads such as savory buns and cream breads. They were all soft, fluffy, nicely seasoned, or balanced in sweetness. I also got passion fruit mouse cake, which was okay. The texture and flavor were great, but it wasn't fully chilled, so lukewarm cake. I felt the big cream on top was too much. They offer some teas, but no espresso drinks like latte. Easy parking is also a plus. Friendly stuff. Would love to come again and try another bread!

    I haven't been here in a while and they upgraded! They used to be in a small location in the same center, but now they have this larger location in the corner slot. They have plenty of room to walk around now and seating to talk, eat, and date. Definitely an upgrade from their previous location. Just dropped $50 on bread here and tried 3 on the spot. Delicious. Can't compare to the other Asian bakeries around. They definitely specialize in Asian bread using tanzhong as it is apparent with how soft it is. The service can be slow especially when it's busy. Just not enough to handle the influx of people. We came here on a Saturday and it was packed and then it died down. It's always a spurt of people all at once. I call this a hidden gem of Rockville for Asian bread.

    Working with Cakes in Style was a pleasure from beginning to end. Usually, I go into a supermarket…read moreand pick up a random cake for someone's birthday, so easy. Not so easy for picking out a wedding cake that will make or break your party and leave guests baffled. I was 90% done with wedding planning and left the cake for last. I didn't want to be bothered with hunting for a vendor, making multiple visits and who to trust. I finally googled a cake store nearby and found Cakes in Style in the Rockville, MD area, very convenient. I took my fiancé at the time to meet with the owner Robert. I made an appointment with Robert; we went in and were amazed. First off, we saw many samples on the counter as well as in his portfolio. Then we went over the logistics of the cake, he took down great notes, provided great suggestions, and was very enthusiastic about helping us. He was kind enough to provide us with an impromptu cake tasting. My fiancé had made up his mind by the end of the free consultation, he picked the design, and we were all set. Robert kept in touch with updates, provided easy and flexible methods of payment and he delivered the cake on time and in one piece. We have seen many cake fail videos but nothing be scared about with Cakes in Style. Our venue was familiar to the owner, so we felt comfortable working with him. We left the store happy and content. We had selected a Red Velvet Cake with a Cream filling, our guests mentioned that it was the best cake they have ever had. It tasted amazing as well as looked beautiful. Presentation and Detail were on spot. I highly recommend Cakes in Style to all and everyone looking for a cake for their special occasion. I will surely use their services again in the future. They treated us like family and not just some random customer walking through the door. Thank you, Robert and Lucia, for adding your magic to make our wedding magical.

    I ordered a birthday cake and smash cake from them. They were extremely communicative and I…read moreappreciated them working with me on design and budget. For that, I'd rate them 5 stars. However, when I picked up the cakes we noticed there was a small hairline crack in the crown but I figured it would be okay. We stored the cakes in a commercial fridge before it was time to sing happy birthday. When they took the cakes out, the crown was crumbling it's just a cake so I dismissed it. When it was time to eat the cake, we noticed nobody finished it. It wasn't until we came home and tasted it and it barely had flavor. We got the pistachio and raspberry. Pistachio was flavorless and raspberry was light but not flavorful. Customer service 10/10 Design 7/10 (because of the crown) Taste 5/10 They really did work with my budget so I'm wondering if maybe that was the compromise?
