Coconut balls
Chris D.

Yummy Asian inspired desserts, croissants, cakes, cookies, coffee, bread and much more I had a zoom meeting on a Sunday afternoon I needed a place that was gonna be somewhat quiet And a private area would be a plus I checked the Duluth area And ran across some options But easily became sold on white windmill The private booth area was more than enough I talked with the staff at the front working And they told me a little about white windmill I asked for recommendations They gave suggestions with ease and a smile Noise level was low The private booth was cozy and perfect For students In deep studies, meetings, etc... I tried the earl grey cookies The fish cakes filled with custard ( it's a pastry) Coconut balls And the taro boba Everything was memorable The coconut balls were perfect I'm a big fan of coconut and these hit the spot Lots of shredded coconut in them The fish cakes with custard were special Perfect texture... soft with a tiny crisp Almost like a pancake in taste The custard inside complimented it well With a vanilla like flavor They were hard to put down, lol. The taro boba had my eyes wide open That flavor, that flavor.... So so good It was a little on the sweet side But still, flavor was on point Now for the finale.... THE EARL GREY COOKIES..... Perfectly sweetened, and they left that earl grey flavor in my mouth I wish I had some right now I'm definitely going back for more of these!!!!!

Storefront with adorable patio area.

White Windmill is a quaint spot that's perfect for dates, or quick chats with a friend. Loved the ambience and the outdoor seating. I really liked the earl grey tea cookies, those were a standout for me! Unfortunately the cake I had was dry, and the chocolate chip cookies were pretty standard. I would come back for the tea cookies, but an reluctant to try other baked goods because of the prices. If you're looking for a cute place to hang out, this is your spot. For baked goods there are plenty of other options that won't be too costly.

The last time I've been here was like seven years ago? I remember us loving their hot, pure matcha latte with milk so much, that the memory of having it lived in our heads for many years. We vowed to go back again if we were ever in the area as we live in Jacksonville, FL now and rarely go to Atlanta. We just happened to be here this weekend and decided to stop by since it was about a 14 minute drive from our hotel. Upon entering, the bakery had a steady traffic of people going in and out. We didn't have to wait long as we were there around 11am and were able to grab all the pastries that we wanted and some more. The line to check out and also same line to order drinks was not too bad. There was a nice, dining space to the right of us that looked cozy. Service was fast, quick, and nice. The workers do seem to be a little bit chaotic though as more traffic came in while we were waiting in line. Here's my thoughts, opinions, and reviews on the items we got. Strawberry cream pastry with fresh strawberries: 8/10 - I'm rating this entirely on the look of it as my husband got one for himself to try. He seemed to enjoyed it so I'm guessing it was delicious. Cornbread: 6.5/10 - I was so excited to try this as I love love cornbread! I love the consistency of traditional cornbread with the slight grittiness and little bits of corn. I love my cornbread sweet as well. This pastry was the opposite of it as while the taste is somewhat there, the texture was off. There were bits of corn in the "pastry" but only a few kernels scattered around. It was also pretty dry but I did love the coffee cake-like crumble on top. I see where they were going with this but they kind of missed the mark. Milk cream bun: 7/10 - the bun had almonds on top and a milk cream filling inside. I had a bite and loved how light and fluffy the filling was. The bun was baked to perfection and was so moist, bouncy, and squishy (in a good way). The touch of almonds on top added a nice texture contrast. We got a few other pastries but I didn't try them all so I can't give a review yet on them. The prices were reasonable for how big the pastries were. We got a blueberry chocolate bun, sausage bun, melon bread, etc. I really love that they have a variety of sweet and savory pastries! Drinks: Fresh kiwi juice: 9/10 - this was tart, cool, and refreshing, especially for a hot summer day. You can see and taste the bits of kiwi. If you don't like fruit pulp, then you might not like this. Some people are weirded out by different textures so unless you like pulp, then I don't suggest you get this drink. It is a bit on the tart side and not sweet. If you love tart and sour flavors, then this would be a good drink to try. Lavender latte: 4/10 - my best friend got this and this was her personal rating. She asked for half of the sweetness but they have her the full sweetness and she could not finish her drink. I don't know if they were just having an off day but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Hot matcha latte: 9/10 - my husband enjoyed his matcha latte and I had a sip of it. The only difference now is that when you ask for a matcha latte, they add espresso. Don't get me wrong, it's still delicious but just a little different now. We were just thrown off by the taste of both matcha and espresso because we assumed it would be a hot matcha latte with just milk. Freshly squeezed orange juice: 9/10 - my other friend got this and she said it was one of the best orange juices that she's ever had. It was fresh, not too overly sweet, had a little bit of pulp, and super refreshing. Overall, I would come back for the pastries and some drinks. A solid place to grab some yummy pastries and drinks! If you're in the Atlanta area, definitely check this bakery out!

Curry bun and choux cream bun with jelly

This is a cute Korean owned cafe that offers an assortment of pastries. My bf is a coffee connoisseur and he was extremely impressed with the hot white mocha latte. The interior is clean and the owners are incredibly friendly. The only thing I would add is a larger selection of pastries. What they had was delicious and they probably have one of the best vanilla cream buns in town. We tried some other bakeries and the consistency and flavor shined for the cream bun here. Definitely coming back to this location again.

White Windmill Bakery is a Korean owned cafe located off Steve Reynolds in Duluth. They offer a variety of pastries and drinks. My family was on a hunt for some butter cream bread and found some here. It's very quiet so it makes the perfect spot to study.

I don't know if I just got here right when they opened but I was the only person in the place. For such a large location, I definitely thing this could be a great place to meet people because they have so many options for sweets being drink, baked good, cold treats, and tons of seating, more private booths in the back, tablets along the front, and a long barstool table in the middle. Seriously tons of space. I'm curious if this place gets busy in the evening or on the weekends, because I would love to experience the vibe then. It was almost too quiet when I went. There is a huge parking lot in front of here so you probably won't have a problem looking for parking. My coffee and boba were both great! I got a lavender milk tea with boba, and got that lightly sweetened, but I'd like to note it didn't seem lightly sweetened so I am not sure it would be bearable if I had forgotten to say lightly. I love that this place has fresh pastries packaged easily for you to take to go, but also plenty of fresh in store options. Not sure I'd come back here purely because it is kinda out of the way for me, but Id go if a friend wanted to I suppose!

I have absolutely adored the local White Windmill franchise in north ATL for a number of years. The main branch (in Doraville) has the most pastry options out of all the locations. Even though this specific cafe has less of a variety, it is ambient & cozy with warm wood tones, black leathers, and starry stringed ceiling lights. Congestion of crowds is minimal-to-none, here, unlike the main branch. It's a more private feel. Things you should know: I. PARKING White windmill is within the Nukoa Plaza and shares a public parking lot with the surrounding businesses. Finding an available, free, space is no problem. II. SERVICE Friendly. An older gentleman & lovely lady, who seem to own the cafe, serve you and greet you warmly when you enter. They truly pour their hearts into their customer service. III. QUALITY Fresh daily. I've tried various pastries and coffees. They never disappoint. One day, I would enjoy seeing this franchise use different cups for their lattes and beverages than the uncharacteristic paper ones. I think it'll add a little more value and personal touch behind the customer experience. IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of seating on a week day. Crowds are minimal. A fair amount of customers come and go. There are booth seating areas that are for 2 or more people that can make your experience even more private if needed.

hidden gem!! so many amazing pastry and quiet without crazy crowds. i love their fish breads with cream custard as well

I visited White Windmill Bakery on Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 1 pm. This bakery was empty when I arrived, but that's no problem after taking a quick glance of the fully stocked baked goods and cake display. Like most Korean bakery places I've been to, White Windmill is very clean and has a nice Starbucks-esque interior design. There are private rooms you can reserve, but are limited to 2-people. I ordered the fruit red bean bingsu and I thought it was better than average. The bingsu had generous amounts of fresh fruits and other toppings. Other bakeries I've been to would only serve shaved ice, some fruit flavored sauce and canned fruits and call it a day. I often avoid getting any cake from Korean bakeries because they tend to be old and taste bland and dry. The disappointing thing is that these Korean bakeries claim all their cakes are baked same-day, but really been sitting in the freezer for days before moving into the display case for who knows how long. However, the strawberry cake tasted light and fresh. Service was great. The older gentleman who took our order was nice to allow us to sit at the private room even though we had 4 people.

This cheap looking Bingsu costed $13?!?
Rose E.

I've been raving like a maniac over just about every place I've dined in Duluth, including all of the bakeries. BUT...sadly, I can't say the same for this one. Although this is a highly touted Korean bakery in Duluth with several chains, I wasn't so impressed. Although it's a beautiful bakery, the selection was rather weak compared to the other ones I've been to...and here's the main reason why. I felt ripped off with what I ordered. In fact, if management is reading this, he/she SHOULD refund me for it. I mean, just look at this Bingsu that I received...for THIRTEEN DOLLARS. ?!? I ordered their Red Beans Fruit Bingsu...and well, unlike the picture displayed, my Bingsu didn't even have Ice Cream in it...just some Powder (??), along with the fruits. It didn't taste bad, but not great by any stretch (especially compared to what I've had at Arte 3 and Treestory)...and here's the catch. This super-weak, crudely presented Bingsu costed over $13!!! Total RIP OFF. I didn't even bother to eat the whole thing. I was too tired to bitch about it to the Manager (if on duty), so just left. Never again will I come back to this bakery.

Cold Americano and Bungeoppang
Tanni D.

Super cute cafe with a variety of beverage and dessert/snack options. I ordered a cold Americano and Bungeoppang (half red bean and half cream-filled fish shaped buns). I wasn't a huge fan of the Americano because it was too bitter. The cream-filled Bungeoppang didn't have enough filling, but the red bean ones were crispy, hot, and tasty!

Fruit and red bean

It was my first time ordering from them on DoorDash, and I tried their signature omurice with…read moreKorean-style fried chicken skewers -- I was pleasantly surprised! When I opened the omurice, the rich egg and cheese aroma covered the entire dish, and every spoonful of rice was full of flavor. The sweet and tangy fried chicken skewers were also delicious. I also tried their mandu (beef dumplings) -- juicy and full of savory flavor. The second time, I ordered the Alfredo pasta, which had a strong creamy aroma and an addictive white sauce flavor. The only downside was the portion -- it was a bit small and disappeared too quickly!

The K-Fried Chicken Omelette was yummy, but only because of the sushi rice and lines of sauce on…read moretop. Yes, the fried chicken on the skewer is also pretty good, but you only get 4 pieces. Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

The First Level / First Floor is for the coffee, teas, drinks, desserts, pastries, sweets and/or…read moreshaved ice / ice cream. The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.
