    Cute animal cakes.
    Mona L.

    This is a very cozy bakery and cafe located in Koreatown (Rt.40 West) in Ellicott City. It could be easy to miss so look for the Victoria Plaza sign. I went specifically for one of their cream cakes. The bakery also carries a wide selection both sweet vs savory items not seen in typical local bakeries. The displays are well laid out. You grab a basket and select items that are neatly wrapped. Cream filled pastries are smooth in texture and I did not find them overly sweet. There were flavors such as strawberry, mocha, Nutella or white cream to name a few. My favorite is their red bean filled doughnut. I wished I lived closer but maybe it's a good idea I didn't. The birthday cake I went for was a Chocolate Cream...the cake had 3 layers of a light chiffon with buttercream frosting and did not taste overly sweet. They were able to place a Happy Birthday greeting on the spot and packed it in a beautiful box to easily carry home.

    This used to be a great place for desserts but lately the quality has significantly dropped. This weekend, we stopped by to buy a few desserts and a small cake. After we got home, we noticed that the store overcharged us for the cake and the powdered donuts have mold which means that they have been sitting there unsold for too long and should have been thrown out. We could have gotten sick. Luckily we noticed and threw them away. We sent an email to the store but no one responded. Had we gotten sick, we would have reported them to the health department.

    Stopped in for something sweet to bring to a church event. This is more like a coffee and tea shop. There were lots of individually wrapped pastries--both sweet and savory. Which is nice of you wanna grab something to eat with your beverage and take a seat. And in the case were cute cakes, many of which were in an egg shape and made to look like cartoon characters or mascots. There were also jelly or cream rolls of different flavors. I opted for the green tea roll. The rolls were a bit pricey IMO. And although the place was pretty clean, the doors and windows had too many prints. But the guys behind the counter were quite friendly! They sell boba tea, coffee and other drinks. And there were folks inside chilling in seats and using their tech devices.

    3.19.23 Good selection of pastries I like including bean buns, sweet rice red bean donuts, and croissants, however, cake slice flavors are limited. They didn't have any flavors I was really interested in. I settled for the mango mousse. I also purchased a slice of the fresh cream cake for my hubby and the red bean donut and bun for myself. The mango mousse flavor and texture was not for me, but I ate it as I was raised not to waste food, but I didn't particularly enjoy it. My pastries were good and my hubby's cake was good. I would just return for their packaged pastries. Few things to note: -They are closed on Tuesdays. -Located in Victoria Plaza. -$5 minimum purchase for credit cards, $10 for Amex and & Discover.

    Shilla Bakery is located in Victoria Plaza on Route 40 in Ellicott City. It is in a very unassuming shopping plaza and depending on how fast you're driving, you might miss it altogether. Thankfully, the script signage caught my attention! This bakery is located in Koreatown and features not only sweet and savory options, but a display of packaged cookies that was destined for a purchase. The colors and textures look delightful and thankfully everything is prepackaged which makes filling your basket easy work. There are many sandwhiches and other bread options for lunch available. The decorated cakes in the cold case are visually stunning and so perfect, they don't look real! There is something for everyone from an elegant cake topped with fruit to a animal creation perfect for a children's party. They also offer hot and cold beverages, including several coffee and tea options. There is ample parking in front of the bakery, as well as plentiful seating the two mornings we stopped by. We left with far too many baked goods and plan to return again. : )

    Mocha Butter Cake

    Got a birthday cake here and it was delicious. Definitely a little sweeter than typical Korean cakes but it may be because it's a butter cake. They also personalize the cake for you.

    I love this bakery! Their caked and pastries are absolutely delicious. I love their drinks too. The staff is very nice and they make good recommendations. I think the prices are comparable too and it is one of my favorite coffee shops to go to. The parking lot is convenient.

    This is one of our go to bakeries , they have locations throughout the DMV area. It is a chain Korean own coffee and pastry shop. Service is efficient. There are daily fresh bread, discounted not the same day pastries, cute and delicious cakes, coffees, and Almond flour cake. Inside is always tidy, nice and spacious. On site restrooms. Parking right out front, easy access. It's a from @winedinenvacay

The cookies and that tart gave me LIFE . I'll be saving the garlic pastry for the morning, but if it's anything like the rest, I know I'm in for a treat. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area as I know I'll definitely be paying them another visit soon

The cakes (which can also be ordered as mini individual sized options) are CRIMINALLY good. I use the work criminal since there is no true storefront for this place since it leads you to a townhouse community. You text Sam at the number listed, he sends you back an email for online payment, and once the order is ready you receive a text indicating it is ready for pickup from an outdoor refrigerator located outside the aforementioned townhouse unit, much like picking up a stash of cash/drugs at an unspecified dropoff location in Grand Theft Auto. Just go on the website to browse the options of cakes which taste as delicious as they are visually stunning. I can attest that the strawberry passion mousse cake and the classic black forest cake are light and airy, not overpoweringly sweet, and the individual components of chocolate, fruit, and cake are high end restaurant quality. If one were planning a heist, usually you need a wheel guy for the getaway, a hacker guy to break into the security system, a conman to talk your way into the location, and occasionally a gunman/strongman in case plans go awry.
