    A closeup of the Nephew's bite-sized pack of cream puffs
    Sarah C.

    Back in the days of old, mom and dad usually brought my nephew to this nearby Korean bakery. Since they're resting in peace, I'm continuing the practice. He's a local and when I visit (often) it's an easy stop since they're inside Lotte Plaza Market. Uber-convenience brings us back for more. After grocery shopping in Lotte, having lunch next door, or finishing a meal at the food court also inside Lotte - a cinch. These folks sell popular Korean pastries similar to Shilla and other k-bakeries. We routinely eye and grab the same goodies. Nephew likes: -Cream puffs: Bite-sized; fun for kids -Soboro: Korean streusel bread w/peanut crumble topping -Milky slushy taro boba smoothie My picks pair well w/black coffee or plain tea: -Steamed cake: Very spongy bouncy cake - fave -Castella cake: Firm sponge cake -Madeleines: Do you see a pattern here? :) We usually pay by cash and I'm guessin' they've nicknamed me "quarters" lol. No elaboration needed, right? Friendly easygoing staff always ready to share a smile. They offer a medley of pastries and cakes so give this local spot a go.

    My family loves the Asian pastries here. We regularly get the red bean, coconut cream, custard cream, and butter cream. But have also gotten mocha cream and ham. Their mango bubble drinks are the best (as determined by my children!). More like creamy milkshakes and rich in flavor. The cappuccino bubble drink is great too. Located in the Lotte Plaza Asian/International Market.

    It's so tempting to stop here after a grocery trip to Lotte since it's right by the left entrance/exit and there are dozens of delicious looking baked treats on display. I really like the consistency of their bubble teas; they make their thicker, almost like a milkshake, and their boba (the little round things) always taste fresh, chewy, and delicious. I've tried the mango and taro flavors, and I like both although the mango tastes nothing like real mango. It's still good though. A medium size bubble tea is $2.99 and a large is $3.99, so the prices are great. I haven't tried a bunch of the baked items except for the little macaron looking things. They were okay - very airy and extremely sweet. They pair well with hot coffee for sure. I love how friendly the employees always are, and I also love the handmade signs. They add a unique touch. They always have free samples out to try by the register as well. Among the hidden treasures inside Lotte, this place is definitely worth trying.

    Look at the ugly handwriting...
    Chenchen F.

    I'm only giving this 1 star review for the bakery place in Lotte Plaza. This is the cake I got today, look at the ugly handwriting. Please, anyone can do better than that. I've NEVER seen uglier handwriting on a cake than this one. I'm so disappointed. On top of that, when my dad went to pick up the cake, the cashier just grabbed a cake from the display, and my dad said he didn't want that one because we pre-ordered it a few days ago, and obviously it wasn't freshly made today. Then the cashier got one from the back, which we don't know if it was made today or a couple days ago. Again, the cake didn't have any writing on it, but we requested when we pre-ordered it. So they probably just took the cake to the back and did the writing while my dad was waiting. Anyways, you all can see how ugly that writing is. Did they hire a 5 year old to do that? Who knows. I'm just letting you guys see it. If you guys don't wanna ruin your birthday and waste your money, then DON'T order cake from them. Enough said.

    I love this place. I've come here serval times especially for their tiramisu matcha latte…read more Unfortunately, every staff member makes its differently. Out of all the times I had it, I can say 2 times it was made the best. The best ratio of cream, matcha, sweetness, etc. They always have a variety of pastries to pick from. & though the line can be a little long sometimes, they move fast. I've sat in the restaurant a couple times, usually there is a lot of people, but it a really nice establishment.

    We got the pinkfong cake for my daughter's birthday since it looked so cute. However the taste was…read morethe issue as it did not taste good at all. The frosting used on the outside and the cream used on the inside was not the fluffy and soft kind we liked and was not similar to the other cakes from this bakery that we liked. It tasted like hard butter and unfortunately we had to throw out the entire cake since everyone refused to eat more than the first bite. My husband asked the employee if this was a vanilla sponge cake and they said yes since he cannot eat chocolate cake. Unfortunately once we cut it, it was chocolate. It was a waste of $50+ and would not recommend unless you're just purchasing for pictures and not to eat. The mango and strawberry croissants were good with sweet whipped cream. I liked how the cream also tasted like mango in the mango croissant. The sweet pretzel was also good and crunchy. The inside of the store is nice with plenty of tables. I also liked how there were a lot of outlet spaces.

    Bonjour, Mon Ami! ( Hello, my friend...) It is good to visit and enjoy your delicious pastries!…read moreEven though I arrived late in the day, the pastry cases were full of enticing baked goods. There was every kind of croissant you can imagine. I bought my favorite almond croissant. There were fruit and cream filled pastries. I bought a fruit and cream filled pastry too. There were a lot of chocolate delicacies. I am going to buy some on my next trip. The ambiance is lovely. There are tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your sweets. There are cases filled with pastries. Service was great. I was waited on right away and they packed my box in a bag with a handle, to make it easier to carry. Au revoir, for now! But, I will be back for more delicious sweets.

    When you walk in, the counters are filled with pastries and breads that look fresh and delicious…read more I had one and it was very fresh, buttery and very good. There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

    Overall: Japong Bakery is a hit for bread, would come back to try some more…read more Food: The bread here was fantastic, each one has their own charm and there is a wide enough selection that everyone has at least one that they will like. I especially liked the sandwich bread, it reminded me of the breakfast sandwiches I would get in Taiwan. Service: Normal service for an Asian style bakery, you get the bread yourself and pay at the register. Ambiance: A chill ambiance inside with a few tables. Enough to have a small group, but not exactly roomy enough for larger groups.

    I have to give 1 star just because I have to in order for me to write a review. Otherwise this…read morebakery would not even deserve a star!!!!! Last Sunday, I wanted to happily buy a cake for Mother's Day but after I already paid as price tag was shown. The owner suddenly came over and said there was an extra charge because it was a "Mother's Day Special" . Apparently "Special" means rising the price by surprising their customers. Honestly, if there's a holiday surcharge, I would truly understand! But it should be clearly stated before payment -- not after. Very disappointing experience. I only bought it because my mom loves mango cake, but I definitely won't be coming back again I am pretty certain that you're not allowed to raise the price on an item already paid for. It's not the money. It's the principle. This is unethical.
