Super excited to finally make it out and visit the bakery. Although it was later in the afternoon, we still had a great pick of pastries and goodies. Service was friendly and they overheard us talking and immediately answered without us having to ask. Small and cozy place that is great for quick grabs. read more

So, recently a friend of mine wanted to check this place out to get some kind of special Korean bread for his wife's birthday. I decided to tag along and check it out. As other reviews have mentioned, it's not screaming for you to come inside - there's no real signage and they've got dark windows. You wouldn't even know it was there. Honestly, felt kind of like a mob-front, knock with the password kind of situation and you could only get in if someone vouched for you and gave you the secret location. LOL Anyway, when you get inside it's just loads and loads of baked goodness! I decided to try the cream cheese muffin and the melon bread. Both were SO delicious, and filling! I only ate half the muffin the day we went, and then was able to reheat the others a bit over the next couple days for breakfast. I'll definitely swing back when I'm in the area to pick up a few treats. We went VERY early, like right when they opened, because my friend said they will often sell out. I guess they only make a limited quantity and when it's gone, it's gone. So plan accordingly! read more

We popped in here after trying Sorabal (which we also loved). We grabbed lots of delicious looking items. The lady who was running the place was so nice! We will be back again very soon! read more

I absolutely love this place and wish they would come down to the other side of the water! One of my favorite stops while I'm on the peninsula. I want to say they take credit cards, but it's a $10 minimum. This place is worth every penny. The hardest part to this place is, you can only eat so much at a time! If you're lucky enough, you'll get there in time for the milk bread. And don't forget to pre-order a cake for pickup. Very light frosting. This is an Asian bakery. Nothing is very sweet. It's all very savory! Just grab that little basket or tray, and some tongs and put what you want in there. I absolutely love this place! Curry pan is the best. Don't walk out of there without getting one read more

So this is where you find the Asian bakery in CoVA! REALLY tucked away in Newport News, very unassuming even without its name as signage - just says Bakery on the outside. But boy when you open that door you get transported into the typical bakery that had all the stuffing - from butter cream to chestnut cream to pizza toppings to red beans to chocolate... joes on and on. Then in the display case you have the birthday cake made from light fluffy buttery batter and definitely not uber sluggishly sugar frosting typical of grocery sheet cakes. There are also the different flavored jelly rolls - strawberry, matcha, mango,etc. Will definitely drop by Bread Garden whenever I go on that long therapeutic drive to Newport News! read more

I love this place! The pastries and other food are very delicious. The staff is very nice.

This place is AMAZING and they never disappoint. I come in any chance I get. Saturday mornings generally have the best selection . I can't rave about this place enough. The bread is fresh, soft and melts in your mouth. They have so many different options, but my favorite to date is the walnut cream cheese. They offer savory and sweet pastry options, so they have something for everyone. read more

Bread Garden - Bakeries Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

OMG. I have long been wanting to come here, and I finally did, and now I'm obsessed! I came here on an early Saturday while I had to be in Hampton. I decided since I was up that way, I'd drop in. Boy am I glad I did!! Although I don't recommend doing so on an empty stomach! First, the workers are super friendly and helpful. I literally wanted to try it all and I bought an embarrassingly large amount of pastries, which my family helped devour. I had already bought their castella cake and red bean pastry at Chesapeake's EMart where they deliver on Thursday mornings. However, the bakery has far more options and deliciousness! I'm not a big fan of cream and custard filled pastries, but did try their cream puff and it was delicious! But the real winner and surprise, was the amazing curry bread!! I was so mad I didn't buy like 10 of these! These are so savory and delicious with a nice spicy kick. I could eat these every morning! I think it was all veggie curry, and I instantly regretted letting my husband have the 2nd one I bought. Note: I just found out they have curry bread only on Saturdays in the store. Best to get there early if you are looking for them too. I'm sure they go quickly. :) Other highlights were the twisted donut like pastries and the kimbap! They also make adorable animal cakes with enough notice, and offer a small area to sit and a keurig coffee maker you can buy a cup. For what it was, I thought maybe $2-3 for the cup was a little much, but I actually discovered I like the Green Mountain Hazlenut they offer, when I normally hate keurig pods because they taste sort of "chemical-like". This one did not, and now I buy it for our home keurig which I never used, and now my husband has to share it. Lol. Anyways, I love the fact they have literal baskets for shopping. And if you get there early enough like I did (9:30'ish?), the pastries are just coming out and still warm! They have other delicious savory pastries like hot dogs, pizza, and some cookies! For me, I'm sticking with my favorites! Please don't take all the curry bread though, now that I shared my favorite! :) read more

This was my first time here and it definitely won't be the last. I've had their products before from Emart in Virginia Beach. I wanted to visit their store when I knew I would be in Newport News. So glad I came by. They have a vast selection of yummy pastries, made fresh. I couldn't even tell you what I specifically bought. I basically just put stuff in my basket. I already have eaten a few by the time of this writing and am absolutely blown away by the quality of every product so far. Every item I ate was moist and soft, just the right amount of sweet, and not heavy for the stomach. I definitely recommend a visit here whether you live in Newport News or elsewhere! read more

Always delicious and fresh! I love supporting this local business. The cream cheese buns are excellent.

Bread Garden is a must-stop if you are in the area. I go here very frequently and will continue to buy from them. The quality has always been beyond excellent and the service is great. The baked goods are also incredibly authentic. My family walked into Bread Garden for the first time probably about a decade ago not knowing what to expect. The outside of the place is not eye-catching to say the least with the overall location, the minimal signage on until you walk up to the door, and the fact that you cannot see into the building due to the blinds. We were amazed by the quality and variety of baked good right off the bat and have been loyal customers ever since. Bread Garden is one of those local hidden gems and they have an excellent reputation. You can also find their baked good around various grocery stores in the area such as the Farm Fresh and at the E-Mart next door. For breads, I like the regular cream cheese and walnut cream cheese flavors the most at the moment, but they have plenty others that I love such as the pea paste, red bean paste, red bean with butter cream, white bean paste, and so forth. The variety is quite vast and I obviously have not mentioned everything within their selection. For example, they have more sweet stuff such as red bean donuts, fried sweet balls filled with red bean paste, cupcakes, macarons, cookies of sorts, and so forth. I also enjoy their roll cakes, which are filled with butter cream that is not overly sweet unlike plenty of American grocery store desserts. They have four flavors which are strawberry, mocha, green tea, and vanilla. Likewise, there are also savory offerings such as hot dog rolls, croquettes, gimbap, curry bread, and so forth. There is also a fantastic mammoth roll that is layered with ingredients such as butter cream, pea paste, jelly, red bean paste, and so forth. I think they only sell two per day, so you may have to come early to get this, but it is worth a try at least once. You can get various cakes made custom and they are an adorable treat for a special occasion or if you want a darn great cake. Just let them know in advance and they will produce a cute and delicious product for you. Sorabol, the Korean restaurant next door, is also worth a stop. I often go to Bread Garden after a mean at Sorabol for a little dessert. Anyway, if you are thinking about giving Bread Garden a try, go for it. You may become addicted, though. read more

I'm a bread lover, and let me tell you, this Asian bakery is the best out there. I didn't realize there was a good one in the area!

Bakery might be small, but everything is fresh and made in house. They have anything from loaves to sweets and even savory baked goods. They're also priced very low for the quality you're getting. The croquettes and pizza bread I bought were $3.49 each. You probably won't find fresh baked goods of the same size anywhere else for less than $5 or $6. Service was also friendly and ambiance was light. Highly recommend!! read more

I recently discovered that Bread Garden was open to the public! Say what?! I've only ever found Bread Garden's items (BG) at Grand Mart or Emart. When we lived here the first time around, I always thought it was a wholesale bakery, so I picked up my BG goods at the local Korean grocery store. When I was in NN last month, I decided to make a detour and visit BG. It's located next to the E Mart with a simple sign indicating "ppang" in Hangul characters meaning bread, similar to what you would actually see in Korea and the word "Bakery", so DO NOT look for a "Bread Garden" sign on the building, it's indicated on decals stuck on the windows. Also, the windows will not lure you in with a sneak peek of the deliciousness you will find inside. The blinds are shut, so you almost feel like you've discovered this secret gem once you go inside. Located right next door to Emart and Sorabol in NN, it's a small store, but you will find 2 aisles of counters packed with baskets of carb loaded delights! - The Goods - My haul included: Gimbap - fresh, approx 12 rolls, well priced. Great snack/lunch, depending on how much you can eat LOL Castella - this sponge cake is oval in shape and is about the size of your hand Twist donuts - coated in sugar Bread with peanut butter crumb topping - this is basically a bread, little drier than a Hawaiian roll, topped with this delicious crumb that is peanut butter based baked on it. Another one of my faves since I was a child. Cream Loaf - Picture a Hawaiian Roll bread loaf split in the middle piped with a very light buttercream, but not as sweet and not as thick, kinda like the fluffiness of Cool Whip, but waaaaaay better tasting. Almond Cookies - little thumbprint size with an almond in the middle Fried Dduk (mochi) ball - Soooooo good! It's basically a mochi ball, fried stuffed with sweet red bean paste. Chewy, slightly greasy and perfect amount of sweet! BG makes my Korean heart and stomach SO happy. The only bummer is that it is pretty far from my home, but maybe it's a blessing in disguise for my hips. I will definitely go to BG every chance I get whenever I'm in NN. - Heads Up - *Go early. They only make a certain amount for the day, so once it's out, it's gone. Quite a few baskets were empty during my visit. *If you can't make it up to NN, like I mentioned, you can find it at Grand Mart and E Mart. *They also have a glass showcase with cute little animal cakes.

Bread Garden is a Korean bakery that offers various cakes, rolls, breads, pastries, and snacks (like kimbop!), all freshly made on a daily basis. This place is small and narrow, but all their offerings are neatly arranged and in categorized bins. If you need help in identifying or want some recommendations, just ask the sweet staff! While we were in the area, we picked up some red and green bean-filled breads, veggies, curry, hot dog, and topped with various nuts. They were all tasty. I love small bakeries like these, locally owned. Bread Garden seems to have a loyal following, and I can see why! +Korean bakery +friendly staff +plenty of parking in the plaza lot read more

This is my first time here, I've come to Emart many times but never stopped into the bakery next door. I got the melon bread and almond tuile and kimbap to try. The almond tuile was nice and crispy and not overly sweet. The melon bread was pillowy soft, I really couldn't taste melon flavor but the bread was still very good and you can tell it was fresh made. The kimbap was good also, I was impressed with everything I tried. They have many options to try I will definitely come back to try their other pastries and cookies and cakes read more

Since I wrote my last review I have tried other places and can say that Bread Garden is the best bakery in Newport News. Everything is still made fresh every morning. The Coffee Nook now has two tables to hold up to four friends. And the variety is still excellent at fair prices. What's new? Lunch! If you show up at Bread Garden between 11 AM and 3pm, you can catch various savory foods on sale. The gimbap sells fast because it's just plain delicious. The Pizza Bread is the Asian kind with hot dogs and sauerkraut (it's better than it sounds). And sometimes you can find beef hot dogs baked in milk bread rolls or even curry buns! It all sells out or is taken away by 4 PM so if you want these goodies, show up early. If I'm on that end of town around lunch time I always stop by for gimbap. Add some coffee or tea and it's a full meal that's and healthier than McDonalds. read more

This is the best bakery in the area. Me and my husband come here all the time. Everything is always fresh and perfect. I'm obsessed with the mango cream pastries and the Kimbap is to die for. You have to go early because she runs out of pastries fast. But it's so worth it. Everything is not too sweet. It's just right. I wish I lived closer cause I'd go here everyday read more

Yummmm....I was recommended this bakery awhile back but only today decided to finally give it a try and omg, its so tasty. Fluffy and soft. My 1st time having korean bread or bakery stuff was in Oct when I went to fairfax so I wanted to get more cause I fell in love. So thats y today, I decided to go get them here. And it didn't failed my expectations. So glad I came here and now ill be coming back for more. Well, not too often but I will definitely be coming back. read more

The baskets were depleted on a Thursday afternoon, I guess that's a sign of goodness this bakery has to offer. I managed to grab a red bean + buttercream pastry, and a bag of Macarons which was four tiny pieces for $4.99. The pastry was soft and the red bean and buttercream filling was generous - oh yeah - the macarons were delicious too. Next time I'll come earlier for the fresh batch of goodies! read more

Walking into Bread Garden was like being transported right back to Hong Kong walking into one of the bakeries right off the street. WOW. Amazing to get exactly the same experience, down the basket, wrapped pastries, and variety of sweet and savory options. Luckily, I can't stop by every day or I would have a much bigger Bread Garden problem. This is the perfect place to stop when you have a craving for that bit of sweet - fresh baked daily and plenty of different flavors to keep your interest over and over! read more

Outside doesn't look like much, but this place is definitely a hole in the wall. Granted the neighborhood isn't the greatest but don't skip this place! As soon as you walk in the smell is amazing! It's a little family owned korean bakery shop with lots of option! The gimbap was amazing, so good that my husband went back in to get a second order. I love their Castilla bread as well. Note they require a minimum purchase for credit card use (I think they told my husband $20 min when he went back in to get the second order of gimbap so he used cash instead) but it's so easy to spend over $20 in one trip! Give it a try!! read more

Bread Garden - This one is my personal favorite. - Bakeries Near Me - Newport News, Virginia

Found a Korean bakery that's wasn't far off the highway in Newport News and had to check it out . It's tucked in a small shopping center that's next to an international market and Koran bbq spot. The bakery itself is small but tables were full of fresh baked goods. At first I was a little worried since most of the baskets were empty. After looking around I asked if she might have some of the items I liked. To my relief the nice lady's were still packing the freshly baked goods and didn't put everything out yet. I got the red bean and cream, coffee cream, kimbap, hot dog , and Guam Shu Shu aka glutinous rice flour red bean pancake. My favorite was the nice pancake filled with red bean which was still hot . The red bean was fresh and creamy and not too sweet. The cream is on the sweeter side for me but I like the bread itself. The hotdog was good and the meat is good quality. I liked the kimbap but I probably wouldn't purchase it again. read more

They are currently closed and will reopen on the 24th according to their sign which is sad bc they have the best Korean pastries in the 757. The 24th can't come soon enough. read more

I have been meaning to stop by here for a while and I am so glad I finally did! This place is right beside the international market in Newport News which makes it a perfect spot to grab an after shopping treat. Upon walking in I was hit with the smell of delicious fresh bread and treats being baked. The family who owns this spot keeps the authentic feeling alive and I saw other members of the family in the back churning out more treats. The place is on the smaller side but they had a wide variety of wrapped treats in baskets on the tables.They also had different cakes to include my favorite green tea roll cake that I love. I skipped on that since you have to buy the whole cake or a half cake but I will definitely return for it. Instead we picked up an assortment of red bean doughnuts, cream balls, and almond cookies. Everything is very good but the red bean doughnuts are phenomenal. The red bean paste perfectly balances the light and fluffy, cinnamon/sugary dough. It was seriously one of the best pastries I have ever eaten! Please give this place a try and support a small business. read more
