Shokku Bakery is a Japanese-inspired bakery located inside Jusgo Supermarket in Duluth, and it has more of a hidden, casual feel compared to standalone cafés. 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. read more

My husband and I stumbled into this bakery as the bright atmosphere of the shop caught my attention. I initially went in looking for a treat for my mom, but was impressed by the selection, cleanliness, samples, and customer service. My husband and I sampled a curry bun and were so blown away by the flavor and texture, that we immediately got one each. The cashier was so sweet and patient, and individually packed our breads which was very nice. If we are ever back in the area we are definitely going back for more of those curry buns! read more

The bakery is located inside the food court of Jusgo Supermarket in Duluth. You can access the food court area with a grocery cart from Jusgo Supermarket, or you can enter through a separate entrance to the food court from the parking lot without going into the supermarket. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The bakery is smaller in scale and doesn't have many seats inside, but there are plenty of seats in the food court area right outside of the bakery. When I visited on a weekend night, there weren't many pastries left. They close at 8 p.m. every day, which is a bit early for the weekend, especially in the Duluth area. The bakery is small but clean. The staff is very friendly, and they provide reusable bags for your purchases. We tried the chocolate and tiramisu Swiss rolls, which were good. The cream inside the rolls was fresh, and the cake part wasn't as dry as the Swiss rolls at other bakeries. We also had the mini croissant bag. It felt a bit stale to me, but if you buy it to go, you can reheat it in an oven or air fryer to make the texture more like a flaky pastry rather than soft bread. We might visit again if we're in the area. Hopefully, next time there will be more options available in the store. read more

Honestly I thought everything was just ok.... Everything was priced fairly and the shop was very clean & organized (which is greatly appreciated) I expected a bigger selection of drinks/pastries, nothing really stood out to set them apart from other bakeries down the road. I will say the mochi was delicious and I really enjoyed the black sesame bun as well. Mayhaps I'll give it another run read more

Was excited to try this new bakery but was left disappointed. About half of the pastries were gone by 12:30pm. Things are also a bit pricier and bread is not as substantial as other Asian bakeries. Smaller pieces for more money. Their pineapple bun was like a melon pan with a different cookie top - also as a Japanese bakery they should differentiate some items compared to Chinese bakeries. Their red bean bun could have more filling, the bread was also very airy. Egg tart was not bad, but using pre made puff pastry for the crust and still charging $4 for one does not feel worth it to me. Fried curry bun also didn't have much curry in it and oil smell was strong. Maybe I ordered the wrong things. Will try a croissant next time. The reusable insulated bag was nice. read more

I had been looking forward to this bakery for quite a while, and it finally opened. I visited during their first week, but to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. Since it's located inside a Jusgo Supermarket, the storefront is quite small, and the pastries weren't particularly refined. However, the prices were definitely a bit of a "shokku"--just like the shop's name--on the expensive side for what they offer. That said, I recently got their Reserved Surprise Bag through Too Good To Go, and it turned out to be a pretty good deal. Every item in the mystery bag tasted decent, and I felt it was worth the price this time. Still, if I had to pay full price for these individually, I'd probably hesitate. Hopefully, next time the surprise will be even better! read more

Shokku Bakery - Exquisite! I wanted to get this so bad, but it has cream cheese and my lactose intolerance would have been unforgiving. - Bakeries Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This relatively new bakery is a great addition to the Tokyo Kuma mall. It's open and clean design allows customers to peruse and browse without feeling too crowded. They had some pastry samples out as well which was nice if you're new to the store.. the mochi are huge, the red bean buns are amazing and so much more. We'll be back! read more

The bakery is inside a shopping center full of other restaurants and grocery stores. The inside of the bakery is cute, not much seating on the inside but there's plenty of seating right outside of the shop. I got an egg tart and it's the best I've ever had, it was warm and fresh. It was a hint of sweet while maintaining that egg taste. It costed about $3 but I would come back again to buy some more!! I love egg tarts read more

This is the absolute worst Asian bakery I've ever visited in Metro Atlanta. The pastries lacks the flavor and they tasted like something you can make using Pillsbury dough. I bought Cream Pastry and there was no fillings inside. Just a tasteless pie sheet with sugar on the top. I can't believe I wasted $7+ for 2 blunt pastries. Better off buying from Publix deli. Atlanta has so many choices when it comes to the Asian Bakery choices and I don't see myself going back to this place at all. read more

Having been open for about a month, it's saying quite a bit that it's not as busy as one would expect from a new Japanese bakery. It's on the small side considering other bakeries in the Duluth area, but it could be worth going to depending on what's available. The desserts I got were good, and I would go back for more, especially certain cakes I've seen and missed, but I'm still a bit hesitant. I went again before writing this review about a week ago, and it seems they also started(?) selling a full cake as well instead of just slices of cake. Some items are marked as limited availability, yet they do put out more, so I'm not sure how limited the run is. Are they making more until they no longer want to, or are they getting it from elsewhere? I know there was a Lady M popup a while back, and if they're selling products in that way, it makes me question the freshness of the those particular cakes. All items I've gotten were lovely, even the cake I'm question! I'm merely curious, especially with how I want to try more but worry about how these Lady M cakes came to be here for a limited time. read more

Not that many bread options. They have crystal mochi which was super soft and good texture. And they have lady M cakes here. Kind of expensive for the cake but it was nice to try once. Bread here is on the small size read more

This is hands down the best bakery I've ever visited. Their products are SOOooo good. We bought 3 varieties and all very yummy. It was so amazingly good we immediately came back and bought more to take home. The staff was helpful and friendly. The price was reasonable. And the shop was very clean and everything neatly labeled. Highly recommend this place! We will be sure to always stop here in the future when we are in the area. read more

This bakery is located inside Jusgo supermarket. I pass by it all the time when it was under construction. The interior was very nice and clean. There are two small tables to sit down at but plenty more outside the bakery. It has the same set up as many of the Asian bakeries in the area -- grab a clean tray and a pair of tongs, get your bread, and pay at the counter. I stood in line as the cashier was packing the buns for the customer ahead of me. I like that they pack each pastry in clear cellophane baggies but wish that each bun was prepacked before being displayed for grab-and-go. For sanitation purposes, even though the cashier wore gloves, she touched the POS and then proceeded to bagged the buns in clear bags. She took about 5 minutes checking out the customer before me and it felt just as long if not longer when it was my turn to pay. Instead of the plastic bags , they provided a reusable bag to hold my pastries. I didn't order coffee from this place but I personally wouldn't considering how slow pace they work at. I saw three labeled cups on counter when I stood in line and only one was made by the time I left the store. I got 7 items to try and it totaled $36.29 but paid $41.74 not knowing I tipped the cashier. The cashier said "tap here and sign", so I did just that and realized I when I got home and saw the receipt. My fault for not checking in the first place. - The egg tart ($2.99) was the only decent thing I would come back for if I ever come because they're so expensive. - The slices of cakes (ringo and Hazelnut carame) were $6.99 each and not great. The ringo (green colored) had a weird sour taste. The hazelnut carame tasted ljke whipped cream -- great for someone who likes that. - Three-color soft cheese (combo) was dry. All three were dry and I couldn't tell what flavor each was. - Melon bun was good, on the dry side, but not worth $3.99 - Hokkaido Pineapple bun tasted like the melon bun but with a different top layer. Also not worth the $3.29. I prefer the Chinese pineapple bun over this. I personally wouldn't come back or recommend this to friends and family because the food here is below mediocre and expensive, and service is extremely slow. read more

Hokkaido is known for many, but one of it is butter. I automatically thought a loaf of bread and cookies were made with a plenty of butter and have a great aroma of sweet bread. Unfortunately Oil was overpowering and kill both bread and cookies flavor. We also bought Mochi. It was our favorite. read more

I got 2 buns to try and each was $3.29. The sizes were small compared to other bakeries. The matcha bun only had about 1 table spoons of filling and it was not matcha cream. The filling was solid and dark pea green instead of bright leaf green. The store seemed clean. read more

My wife and I went to this bakery for the first time and, based upon that experience, will definitely go again. The baked goods were neatly displayed in covered cases and were all fresh as could be. The people who run this bakery are, without exception, just as nice, friendly and welcoming as can be, fantastic customer service. We purchased the Soft Cream Cheese Slice, Hokkaido Pineapple Bun and the Pork Floss Hot Dog. Each item was fresh and delicious. Shokku Bakery absolutely knows what they are doing! We truly enjoyed our visit and are already looking forward to doing so again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for top-quality baked goods. read more
