Overall Three Story Cafe was pretty nice. It was quiet, very clean, and not crowded when we visited. Great spot if you want a calm cafe vibe with Korean desserts. Menu highlights They offer a mix of sweet and savory baked goods, plus: * Cakes * Macarons * Bingsu (shaved ice), including the snowflake style bingsu If you're specifically looking for snowflake bingsu, Three Story is a solid option to consider. What we ordered and tips We got the strawberry bingsu and strongly recommend asking for the syrup on the side. The bingsu can get very sweet if the syrup is added by default, and having it on the side gives you full control over the sweetness. They also have Korean style latte options, including a sweet potato latte. Our friend ordered it and said it was pretty good. Seating, Wi-Fi, and atmosphere There was good enough seating, the space felt clean and comfortable, and they have Wi-Fi. It's a nice place to sit and chat or hang out for a bit. Service and pricing Service was very good, and pricing felt pretty decent for what you get. Would I return? Yes, especially if I were local. It's a good, reliable dessert cafe with a peaceful vibe and a strong bingsu option. read more

Tree Story Bakery and Cafe in Duluth is such a cute little spot with a cozy atmosphere. They have a variety of fresh pastries that were beautifully presented. They were pretty busy so checking out took a while and there was hardly any seating left when we checked out. But overall it's definitely worth visiting if you're in the Duluth area. read more

Really nice bakery cafe right next to the Hmart in Duluth. The bread and cakes all look amazing, but are a little bit on the pricy end. I got a strawberry iced tea, which was really good but a little too sweet for my taste. It also came with popping boba which surprised me. Overall, the vibes are nice, so this would be a nice place to do work or chat with friends. read more

Always one of my favorite Korean bakeries! And of course, the coffee is always good. They also have a discount baked goods in a little area. Nothing wrong with them, just baked previous day I think. Quiet on a Saturday thank goodness! Nice place to get a drink, buy some yummies, and relax for a minute. read more

She tipped herself $6 or $7 yikes, not into that. Food is okay not too sweet. Won't return due to shady business practices.

When I visit new places, I always seek something unique--whether it's exceptional service, distinctive flavors, or memorable interior design. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out about this bakery except its convenience. It feels like one of those spots you go to simply because it's nearby, rather than for any remarkable qualities. read more

I've been here many times and it never disappoints. The variety of Korean pastries is vast, filled with different flavors and texture galore. The interior is cozy and welcoming ~ you'll want to stick around for a little if you're visiting. Things you should know: I. LOCATION Within the HMart plaza (off to the right). There's free private parking out front ~ very easy. II. SERVICE Friendly. They'll greet you as soon as you walk in the door. III. QUALITY They bake fresh pastries everyday, making the crunchy texture in the streusel bread perfect. I like this business because they have a 30% off section; this minor detail is nice because it proves the cafe only displays fresh pastries in the aisles and that they don't waste older ones by throwing them in the trash. Also liked that they have a section with books for customers to read as they sip coffee. IV. CAPACITY Slow in the early morning but by mid-morning the seats start to really fill up. read more

Before we left Atlanta to go back home to Jacksonville, we decided to stop by one last Asian pastry shop. I've been here a few years ago and didn't remember much of how things tasted but I'm so happy we came back! The shop was very cozy upon walking in and the customer service was great!! We went early in the morning so they were just finishing up baking some sausage and pizza/cheese buns! The lady at the register was pleasant, sweet, and cheerful, unlike other Asian bakeries that we've been to, where the customer service was lacking. I believe this is a Korean bakery. We bought a few things to try: Sausage bun: 8/10 - this was my husband's rating as it was his choice of pastry. He loves savory pastries more than sweet ones. He finished it in literally 5 minutes! He said it was really really delicious. Mochi bun with red bean: 10/10 - Out of all the buns I've tried this past weekend, this was my favorite one! The slight crispy edges of the bun married with the mochi/red bean filling was everything that I wanted and more! The pastry itself wasn't too sweet and I loved the consistency of the filling. The filling was I believe, red bean wrapped around a layer of mochi and it had that signature mochi stretch. I would definitely come back for this pastry, over and over again. Melon bun: 9/10 - I bought this for a friend back home and he said that was his favorite pastry out of all the ones I got him. He had no complaints. I can't rate on the flavor though as I haven't tried it. Rating is purely on his thoughts. Sopporo cream bun: 8.0/10 - again, I didn't get to try this one but my husband had it for breakfast the following day and it must have been great because he ate and left no crumbs. Pizza and cheese bun: 8/7/10 - I loved this one! It tasted exactly like I was eating a pizza but in a bun form. The flavors reminded me of an extra cheese pizza. Curry Croquette: 9/10 - What a delicious bun! Japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes and this tasted exactly like that! I love the umami flavor and found myself enjoying and savory each and every little bite. If you don't like the taste or smell curry, then I wouldn't get this bun as the flavor and spices could be strong for you. I love a kick in your face kind of flavor when it comes to curries and this one exceeded my expectations. They have other goodies you can purchase too like dalgona candy. We got a dalgona candy to put in our latte at home! They also have a cafe items such as coffees, refreshers, cold brews, lattes, etc. I'll come back and try the cafe items when I'm back in the area for sure! Definitely a solid Asian bakery to check out and I would say that out of the bakeries that I tried, this one will have to be my top 1. My rankings so far on the bakeries would be: 1). Tree Story 2). White Windmill 3). Sweet Hut 4). Mozart read more

This is always a pit stop when I visit Duluth. Not only does this bakery house a HUGE selection of impressive pastries and drinks, it's super-comfy...just a great place to hang out! Again, I grabbed several pastries while here (mostly to take back home with me)...and this time, I also ordered a hot Green Latte. My disappointment came when this Matcha Latte was placed in a paper cup, instead of an actual coffee cup, complete with cafe art. Not sure if they gave up the coffee cups or the cafe art (like before in the past?)...but it just wasn't impressive. Luckily, the Matcha Latte tasted great. Still, for the lackluster presentation of the Matcha Latte, am docking a star. Just hoping they'll pick that back up in the future. Also, although the selection was still big, I noticed an incomplete display this time around. Maybe because I stopped in too early (around 9:30 amish?), but I ws thinking they'd have more, not less, at this early time of day. Guess for the first time ever, this was a tad disappointing of a visit. Still, it won't deter me from re-visiting...as this is probably in my Top 3 bakeries to visit while in Duluth. Still though, I was thinking, if this bakery was in Charlotte, NC, for instance, it would have been a bonafide 5-stars...but there are SO many premium bakeries in Duluth, this place isn't even 5 stars. WOW. Yes, even as a traveler in Duluth, I'm a bit spoiled with bakeries at this point. read more

I ordered a coffee and bought a bread. She told me the total $9.05 and right before I swiped it, it said $10.86! I checked my receipt and she added a tip and didn't think I would notice.

I had the misugaru latte here! Really tasty and good balance of coffee and misugaru taste. I was really pleased to find this coffee option in the area because it's one of my favorite Korean drink options and it's harder to find in smaller cities. The pastries seemed pricey but I haven't tried so maybe it's worth it. The inside is really spacious and a good spot to chat, not hard to find seating at all.

If you're looking for traditional Korean bakery treats, Tree Story has it! They have such a wide arrangement of breads, buns, cakes, macarons, and drinks. I loaded up on buns to last me the rest of my trip. They had both sweet and savory options. It's self serve which could be dangerous, but they do display the prices so you know how much damage you're doing. This is a great spot with so many restaurants around and an H Mart for shopping nearby. Do yourself a favor and try it! read more

The employee did not know the ingredients of the products, and it was pretty gloomy/dark when I first came in. That changed as time went on as more people came by. However, one star off for the price (everything is a bit pricey including my $6.84 latte), ambiance/lighting, and employee knowledge of products/ingredients. One person was running the whole show when I was there, so you may have to be patient as the same lady makes drinks and takes orders. The Iced Sweet Potato Latte did taste unique in a good way, but it was small for the price. read more

I visited Tree Story pretty frequently in 2020 thanks to my dad's monthly dental appointments in the plaza next door. During COVID, I was definitely grateful to find Tree Story open and still baking up a storm. I've been a big fan of the iced coffee - they called it a Ice Story Coffee. It's pre-mixed with cream and sugar and quite tasty. However, if you don't prefer too much cream or sugar in your coffee, I wouldn't recommend because you can't adjust the sugar or cream level. The prices haven't changed - as in, they are still quite pricey in comparison to other Korean bakeries in the area. My parents kept griping about it after we saw the total cost after paying for all the bread we bought. Even so, I won't forget breathing in the fragrance of butter and freshly baked bread through my mask at Tree Story. If you're willing to pay for it, Tree Story is one of the better Korean bakeries in the area. I'm just a bit upset that the Doraville location shut down... read more

Vegan friendly and very allergen conscious. They list the ingredients in all their bakery goods on easy-to-read cards placed above the goods. Their staff is friendly and good at answering any questions you may have. The atmosphere is very relaxing and has a nice, low lighting that adds to the vibe. And everything I've tried has been unique and well-made! My only complaint is that there are only two bakery items that are vegan friendly (bean donut and mochi). I hope they add more. read more

If you are looking for an inviting vibe and delicious baked goods, go visit Tree Story Bakery and Cafe! This Asian bakery is spacious, bright, organized and airy. As soon as I walked in, I smiled and my eyes lit up when I saw all the variety of goodies displayed! I love how there is a label that displays the ingredients for each baked goods. People with food allergies will appreciate that! As for the baked goods themselves, they are scrumptious! The black rice bread with their sweet butter will elicit a yummy from you for sure. Their egg sandwich was delicious without being overly seasoned. Everything I bought was worth the $75 I spent. So if you are looking for a great bakery to take your friends and family, that has good food, drinks, and ambiance, I recommend you take them there! read more

I got the custard bun and the injeolmi bun! The custard bun bread part was super fluffy and really yummy! The custard was on a little thick and a little too sweet for my liking but I was able to scrape some of it off. The injeolmi bun was amazing! The cream was super soft and light and I loved the red bean paste inside as well. The injeolmi dusting on top helped reinforce the flavor. Both buns altogether were about $5 which was perfectly reasonable for the two! read more

My 3 star review is solely based on the bingsoo. Overall, this place is a standard Korean bakery. The selection of pastries aren't mindblowingly creative or tasty but they still hit the spot. But you could probably find the same things at other Korean bakeries. The bingsoo tho.... it's SO OVERPRICED. I can't believe a shaved ice dessert costs $20. Yes, it was big enough to share between 3 people but but I would rather have a little less and pay less lol. The bingsoo tasted pretty average too. I recommend you come here for pastries but go somewhere else for bingsoo, it's not worth the money. read more

Best bingsu I've had! It is on the sweeter side but that's just how I like it, the coffee bun pastry is nice and light, and the only thing I wasn't a fan of were their smoothies. My daughter ordered a strawberry smoothie and my husband got the taro with boba. The boba itself was mediocre but the smoothies were more ice than flavor. I do want to try the teas at one point. The service was okay... the ladies were not openly friendly nor were they rude. They kept to the minimum of taking my order. The bakery itself was exceptionally clean. I love the art work on the main wall. They get a plus for having children's books available in a cart near the front door. I would come back for another visit. read more

A nice Korean bakery near the super HMart in Duluth. They had a wide selection of different bakery. Similar to Sweet Hut Bakery.

Great place to relax or study and meet up with friends. read more

The Korean patbingsoo is a must try here. The cleanest bakery in Atlanta, next to h-mart

The atmosphere is whimsical. They have lot of pastries to choose from as well as coffees and teas. I've tried their custard cream bread ($2.19) and vanilla macaroon ($2.49). The bread was soft and spongy and buttery with generous custard filling- absolutely delicious. I will get this again. The macaroon was very good but it was rock hard which shouldn't be. Macaroons are supposed to be soft and buttery (Vincent Bakery has perfect macaroons!). That was disappointing which is why I scored 4. If macaroon was soft and right then it would be a 5. Nonetheless I will still return to try their many other delectable items. read more

Loved the fruit bing su here!! Portion was pretty big. It was around ~$10 (Note: the fruit bingsu comes only in the bowl size ...not cup) Originally I wanted the cup size because I wouldnt be able to eat a majority of it myself but they showed me the sign that says the cup size would only be red bean flavor. But I wanted the fruit so I ordered that in the bowl size. It was pretty yummy - 2 scoops of ice cream, lychee jelly, mochi, fruit slices and corn flakes. The ice part melted pretty quickly. There are a lot of seating inside and there are a few tables by the outlet as well. read more

This place is super cute! There are tons of breads and pastries pre-wrapped to choose from. The butterfly cookies remind me of bow tie cookies from when I was a child. We came here for an afternoon treat. They have a few different cakes by the slice to choose from and offered some coffee and tea options. There was also ice cream and KoP. We had the mocha cake, strawberry and fresh cream, and the chocolate dome. The strawberry and fresh cream was my favorite! It was so light and airy. I wish it had fresh strawberries, but it was great. The other two were also really good. The dome crust was very hard though. I wish it was easier to cut thru since we were sharing. I had an iced tree house coffee with had cream and sugar. It was tasty, but a bit too sweet. The iced vanilla latte was good too. There is tons of seating available which was nice. read more

Highlights: Variety of options that are different from other Korean bakeries, great location We got: - Red bean mochi streusel: was okay. I've never heard of any bakeries with bbang (bread) with mochi. There wasn't enough mochi or red bean to taste them enough... more bread than anything. - cream/custard streusel: LOVE the custard especially because it's not overwhelmingly sweet. LOVE how the flavor is there without trying to kill my teeth. - mini rice donuts: I think we got them fresh but tasted a bit stale. My husband disagreed. He thought they were fresh and delicious. I recommend getting them FRESH FRESH. - layered cake: very spongy, soft texture. It's not American style so if that's what you're looking for, this ain't it. It's not too sugary, just the perfect amount of sweetness Overall, i appreciate that they don't overdo their sugar. A lot of bakeries and sweets tend to bake with a butt load of sugar. This place has a lot of variety and new items compared to other Korean bakeries I've been to. The only downside is that they didn't have that many drink items to choose from. Other than that, I'd say 9 Gryffindor points out of 10. read more

I visited Tree Story Baker & Cafe on Saturday, January 24, 2021 around 7pm. This is the second time I visited this establishment only to be met with disappointment. We called ahead of time asking if they served bingsoo, which they responded "yes." By the time we got there they said that they don't serve bing soos 1 hour to closing. That information could have been useful when said through the phone.... The first time, they said the machines were down. Maybe 3rd time's the charm? read more

Their Pat Bing Soo is a crazy $20.35 now ... darn that inflation. It is a large size and definitely great for sharing ... however super disappointed in the 25-min wait time, and then waiting that long for pat bing soo that was very average tasting. I did feel sorry they had just two guys working there, and they did look like they were working hard ... I have to assume they are having staffing shortage issues like everyone else. We picked the red bean version, and the dessert was mostly a huge pile of shaved ice that didn't have the snow texture like other Korean cafes and wasn't sweet at all (although looked like they were pouring milk into the shaved ice machine), then topped with sweet red bean (from a big can ... lol I was matching them make it), some mochi, one scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. I'd recommend getting their pastries instead - no extra wait time is a bonus :) read more

Wow! So it has been a very long time since I last visited here. I came here with my mom and brother. My mom had a regular hazelnut coffee (black with no sugar or cream). I had ordered the Affogato. It was delicious~! I would get it, again if it weren't so expensive! I forgot how much I paid for this but I think it was around five dollars! The employees working there were friendly and nice! That's the kind of thing I like. I like it when they're welcoming to their guests! The interior still looked the same as before. The restroom was also clean which was a plus for me! I didn't get any sweets, bread or cakes this time.. just beverages.. well unless you count the Affogato as a sweet. And yes, I would come here, again. read more

Tree Story is located next to the Duluth Hmart, which is a plus for location. Unfortunately, there aren't many times that I crave Tree Story. Nothing is spectacularly good there and I don't really crave anything from there. I will have to say, however, I am a huge fan of their salad bread and you can probably only get it in the AM time as it's one of their best sellers and runs out quickly. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and I ordered the misootgaru. Misutgaru tasted kind of bland, but I do like my drinks a little sweeter. The people I was with tasted it and they said it tasted fine.. so who knows. I am always down to go to Tree Story, but I don't think I will ever be the one saying "let's go here." There are just better options around. read more

Overall...a pleasant place to get some work done or meet up with friends! I first came to this cafe years ago. I vaguely remember anything about it then, but I'm glad I decided to stop in after almost a decade. We needed a place to study and get some stuff done so we decided to give this place a shot. A cute establishment with plenty of seats and cute baked goods I'm definitely looking forward to planning meet ups with friends here! Service: the cashiers can speak both Korean and English. So no worries feeling intimidated by a language barrier with these lovely ladies. The bakery portion of the store is a "serve yourself" style as it is with any other Korean bakery. Most of their baked goods are prepackaged, so you can just grab whichever ones you want and load them up on the basket they have up at the front for you. Only other baked goods you might need assistance with is probably the cakes and such, since they are kept behind the glass cases to keep cool. Food/Drinks: I haven't tried everything at this bakery, but from the few stuff picked up I was impressed with how fresh and moist the baked goods are. The drinks are pretty good and the coffee seems popular as almost all the patrons had ordered coffee for themselves. The prices tend to run a little higher, but this is only because the baked goods are made in house. Since I wasn't feeling coffee I ordered a Iced Honey Plum tea, usually made hot, I personally just prefer it cold. It was served to me with light ice, which I didn't even have to ask for. The drink was actual too sweet so I think they put too much of the tea syrup into the drink. I had to wait for the ice to melt down so it would water down the drink a bit. We also ordered the Black Milk tea, where apparently it can be ordered thicker like a smoothie or served with ice. We decided to just do the ice and it was pretty okay. 4/5- because it's a decent spot to meet up with friends or study. There are limited outlets, so I would recommend maybe bringing an extension cord. This place is always filled with patrons stopping in for a quick pick me up and meeting up with friends. But for the most part, everyone is in and out so if you're just willing to wait a few minutes a table should open up. A cute addition they have is that they have a small bookcase up at the front to allow patrons to read. There seems to be a good mix of books in Korean and English so it's definitely a unique feature. read more
