I've been to Maison Mori many times and have purchased a variety of items, from cakes to Swiss rolls to bread... Nothing really stood out in my mind. I've long heard about Korean salt bread and had been wanting to try. Maison mori offered a couple of salt bread selections. I didn't know which to get so I asked for recommendations. The staff wasn't helpful at all. "They're all good." She also said the bread is Korean style bread that is popular in Korea. Then I asked why use the Japanese word for salt, i.e. "shio". She then responded that the bread is Japanese style. Like, which is it? Korean or Japanese? After consulting Gemini AI, the two styles are fundamentally the same but the texture is different. Regardless of Japanese or Korean style, I got the original and black (squid ink). I honestly don't see what the hype is. It's essentially just butter roll with salt sprinkled on top. Lol. read more

Maison Mori is my regular go to bakery. Since they opened, I don't know how many times I visited here. My favorite is Soboro chestnut cube, sweet potato cube, Shio pan, mugwort mochi bun, mochi mochi bread and roll cakes. Cube breads are excellent items. Dough is very soft and fillings are great, especially Soboro chestnut cube's small chestnut pieces and crunchy soboro topping makes it addictive. Shio pan is very buttery , one of the best in town. I also liked Mochi mochi bread which had very chewy texture like mochi, but this time, I felt the one I had in the past tasted better. However, Rich bread was very good. The dough is similar to brioche with very rich, buttery flavor. This one is definitely better than before. Overall, I really liked their products. Highly recommend if you have a chance to visit North road read more

I got the tomato pesto salt bread, milk cream bun, double cheese salt bread, original salt bread, strawberry cream bun, and an earl grey mochi cube. Everything was decent, nothing spectacular, except the strawberry cream bun had a good cream to bun ratio and was nice and fresh. I would go back just to grab some quick bites and the prices compared to Paris baguette is much more reasonable. I got 6 items and the total came to about $20~. Kind of hidden away in a predominantly Korean strip mall, so be prepared to get lost! read more

Maison Mori - Various bread - Bakeries Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Tucked away in a far corner of the Hannam supermarket shopping plaza in Koreatown is this little gem of a bakery. Forgot to take a picture and the cake was gobbled up too quickly. We had the early grey cake - best earl grey cake I've ever had with a very strong earl grey essence, and delicate soft sponge. Prices are steep for a very small cake $42 for a 6 inch cake. All orders need to be ordered 48H in advance. Recommended. read more

I had the red bean butter, sweet potato goguma bread, cream milk bun, mugwort mochi bun, walnut mocha bread. My advise is go early as they may run out of a specific type of bread. My least favourite was the mugwort mochi bun. My favourite one was the red bean butter and the walnut mocha bread. I find the bread here more unique. It's something you would only find in Korea from the ingredients. I also like that their breads and fillings aren't too sweet. The lady who helped out front was also very helpful when choosing the buns. Tip: try the red bean butter bread and the walnut mocha bread. Remember to choose 6 so that there's no tax! read more

Ahh...I now see why this place has been so popular and have people lining up for their pastries bright and early as soon as they open! Maison Mori is a little hidden Korean based bakery that is tucked inside the complex by Hannam Supermarket and Midam. A lot of their pastries are very unique with a Korean twist, such as incorporating mugwort, mochi, walnut and chestnut! We ordered the Real Cacao Roll + Moka Mochi Bun + Onion Sausage Bún + Sausage Puff Pastry. The pastries were so good we finished more than half of this within a day between two and it left us wanting more! My favourite wax the Moka Mochi Bún! There was mochi inside the bun that had the perfect consistency of chewiness and the bun itself has a really light chewy texture to it with sugar coated walnuts on top! Will for sure make a return here to try out all the other varieties we missed! read more

Hidden inside an unassuming part of Koreatown in North Road, I would recommend trying to coordinate coming in around their bread schedule depending on what you want. We got a sausage puff pastry, milk bun, mocha mochi bun, and the matcha roll. In particular I was a big fan of the sausage puff pastry (only available on weekends) and the milk bun. If you do not eat it on the day you buy them, you can heat the various items in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds and they're as good as fresh! Would highly recommend making a special trip to The North Road area to get their baked goods!! read more

Maison Mori is hidden inside an unassuming food court on North Road. Located next to Midam, this cute little bakery is all the way in the back of an empty mall. The little bakery is decorated with lots of dark wood paneling and a glass case displays all of their delicious baked goods for sale. They also have a bread schedule, so you know exactly when to get your favourite bread. All their baked goods are so aesthetically pleasing and you can tell much care goes into making these delicious baked treats. On this visit I tried their Sweet Potato Cube and Soboro Chestnut Cube. The Sweet Potato Cube has a lovely caramel crust which gave way to a soft and fluffy interior with generous chunks of sweet potato embedded inside. It wasn't too sweet and it was the perfect texture. The Soboro Chestnut Cube has a crunchy streusel topping that was a great textural contrast to the soft bread. Like the Sweet Potato Cube, this bread was also stuffed with generous chunks of chestnuts. Overall, I really enjoyed the breads that I tried at Maison Mori. The level of baked goods produced here is comparable to the top bakeries in Vancouver. I cannot wait to be back! read more

Another must try bakery I recommend. Hidden in K-town is this Korean-Japanese fusion shop. These treats surely have both style and substance. Pre-ordering highly recommended as they sell out quickly. read more

Maison Mori - cube bread, mochi bread, honey toast etc. - Bakeries Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Cute little korean bakery in the foodcourt of K-town. I have save this bakery to my to-go list for so long and finally got to try it. Love everything we have got today, but why it's not 5 stars? The prices are a bit on the higher side. If it could be a bit cheaper then it's definitely a 5 stars. Most of the breads and cake slices are about $4 to $6. The size of the bread not big, its about you palm size. But I think they're quite special and tasty, so still worth a try. read more

HIDDEN KOREAN BAKERY ALERT. Tucked away and hidden away in a small corner is this cute Korean bakery, that specializes in super unique Korean baked goodies. * Milk cream bun ($3.20) ~ I didn't even get a chance to photograph this before I devoured it. this was outstanding! I love their custard cream! It was smooth, soft and not too sweet. The bun was the best part! I'd go just for this haha. * Sweet potato cube ($4.20) ~ the cube cut like butter! Ultra soft and chewy. The sweet potato adds a nice chewy texture to it and a nice subtle sweetness. Overall not too strong of sweet potato but perfect taste as it's real sweet potato. * Butter pretzel ($4.50) ~ thick butter with a nice salty pretzel bun! It was nice and savoury. The bun was super soft too. Personally I wish the bun was more crisp rather than soft as it was with a thick slab of butter. Not my favourite one of the three. * 7/10 ~ the buns are fresh and soft I love the milk cream one! The other ones are decent but not one id drive just to go there for. * 6/10 ~ the menu varies between prices. It's not cheap, but decent portion. total bill before tip: $12.50. read more

I bought strawberry cake. All my family couldn't finish eating this. Cream was not fresh whip cream, they mixed with some oil? butter? unsweet cream with unsweet strawberry. the sponge cake was so dry. If you expect a Japanese strawberry shortcake, this is not. The cream read more

Went there multiple times. Very popular new place. If you don't go there early you many miss their bread as it tends to sold out fast. The owner studied bakery in one of famous bakery school in the world and taste theirs and you know their stuff is good. Many Chewy or soft bread options. There is food court like sitting area that is shared with the restaurant right next to it so you can grap coffee from the place as well and sitdown with your friends for chatting. read more

Bakery using Korean ingredients! Injeolmi cream buns, mugwort buns, mochi bread, sweet potato cubes and more!! Found this bakery by accident, it's located next to the Korean fried chicken joint inside the plaza east of Hannam. I saw numerous people visiting this bakery and always leaving with some baked goods. The staff was very friendly and told me that they sell out of everything daily. They also pointed out that their sweet potato cube is very popular. I picked up the injeolmi cream bun (cos I'm a sucker for anything injeolmi), the mugwort mochi bun and hot dog bun. All were delicious and well made. I'm determined to go back to try every single item!! read more
