For some reason whenever I'm in the City of Industry area I always end up stopping by this spot. I usually come for their freshly baked coffee bun. The buns are soft with a slightly crispy crust on top which is really good. It kind of reminds me of Cantonese bolo buns, but with a Korean twist. When you walk in you can smell the fresh buns baking which makes it even harder to resist. They're honestly pretty addicting and I always find myself wanting another one. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

Sobok Sobok - Original coffee flavor - Bakeries Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

We're in Rowland Heights. We found Sobok Sobok on Yelp. Something for everone including their famous coffee bun. We enjoyed the soft serve ice cream, the Bin Soo (shaved ice) and house coffee with the coffee bun. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

The coffee buns were what drew me in. Ordered a box of 6 (3 original and 3 specialty - yogurt chip, chocolate, and almond). They were all fresh and still warm when we were handed the box. Crispy outsides. Insides were hollow but there was a buttercream flavor located in the middles. So good! Hubs doesn't usually like sweets, but he liked these. Also ordered a pineapple earl grey drink. Love how the drink was packaged, but the drink itself was just ok. I'd return for those buns and maybe to try their bingsoos as well. read more

Sobok Sobok is a great find in the area. I was looking for a quick breakfast spot and they had a coffee bun with coffee combo. For the price point, it was a good deal! The base of the coffee bun is fluffy and pillowy, making it wonderfully soft to bite into. I got the chocolate flavor and it had that subtle sweetness with a hint of buttery richness. As for the appearance, this is where I think it could have been more visually appealing. It comes in a white paper bag but because the coffee bun is warm, the chocolate chips melted into the paper already! Guess it can't be helped! I was very happy at how warm the coffee bun was on this cold day, complementing the Korean coffee I was drinking with it. As for ambiance, the place had a nice warm glow to it, a perfect place to start your morning or enjoy some time with friends. There were plenty of tables and chairs. I did not get to check for plugs or WiFi but this could be a good candidate as a study spot! read more

Came here for the Injeolmi red bean bingsoo, but the aroma of fresh baked bread was too heavenly to pass up. The cashier was patient while taking our orders. When we got our order, the injeolmi red bean bingsoo was very good. Red bean was not overly sweet. There were a few tables and chairs, as well as counter type seating for dine in. This place is a better choice than S&B, the wait was minimal and parking was readily available. read more

Cute Korean place for sweet snacks. We got the shaved ice, whipped ice cream and the Korean buns. How can you go wrong with matcha and dole whip soft serve? It's always a 10 unless something went terrible wrong in the universe. The strawberry shaved ice was taste but way too big for just 2 people to share. The buns remind me of those Chinese pineapple buns you get at a bakery or dim sum. I quite enjoyed all the flavors aside from the original flavor, that one was junk to me. It was savory not in the best way possible. Would I make the 40 min drive again? Idk read more

Can't explain how much I love this place. I've been eating their coffee buns for 10+ years. I was in high school, so I'm not sure if it was under a different name. I believe it was originally sharing the location with Tutti Frutti. I can't find a place that can match the aroma, texture and flavoring of their coffee buns. Crispy edges, soft base, creamy filling. I always have to get the 6 box for about $20-$22. It is definitely worth the price for me. read more

Always included in my list whenever we're in the area. A good start of the day or for dessert. Brought a friend here for the first time and very satisfied with the coffee bun and coffee. Spacious parking , friendly staff. Good food , though the mini buns are always out whenever we visit, hopefully next visit we're able to grab one box. Looking forward to bring more friends in the area. read more

Located in a big plaza next to an in-and-out Burger. I did not have issue finding a space to park at 11am. The shop has see thru glass which you can see these coffee buns made. I ordered a set of gift with all 5 flavors of coffee buns. I tried 3 of them myself. They are all delicious. Slightly crunchy outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Some flavors could be a bit overly sweet. They are priced fairly, like most bakeries around town. Service was ok, nothing much to comment. They offer touchless payment method thats linked to the phone. Overall, it is good. Probably a good option for office in the morning. Its gets a 4.4 out of 5 read more

Wish there were more locations. Freshly baked, fluffy, tender coffee buns with just the right amount of sweetness to go with your coffee. By coffee, I mean coffee that you recognize without the names you can't pronounce that are loaded with a ton of sugar like most of the drinks at Starbucks. The best way to describe a coffee bun is like a cross between a Mexican concha and Kings Hawaiian bread. They also offered various flavors of the shell topping with a freshly whipped buttercream inside! I just had the standard house coffee black. Excellent quality coffee bean without the overly roasted bitterness. Smooth and easy. The storefront, dining area and restroom are impeccably clean. Friendly service with a smile. A+++ read more

I will forever crave their coffee buns! Food: 10/10! There is something about their coffee buns that make me want to go back for more and I haven't had anything like it. Service: 10/10. The employees are always so nice when I'm here and are attentive and helpful! Ambiance: Small sitting area and it's awesome how you can see them bake the coffee buns. Love this place and I can't wait to come back! read more

Cute little Asian dessert place. I took my family to try their shaved ice. We got the matcha redbean, strawberry, mango and redbean shaved ice bowls. My recommended flavor was the mango. The mochi on them was a bit too hard for me. Coffee bun was light and delicious. read more

I have returned and little disappointed this visit but nonetheless bread was still so delicious. Since they close later in the day after 6pm, I thought coming here at 4pm the day before NYE would be okay but it seems they don't bake additional bread later on the the day. Apparently the minis are sold out around noon and I was recommended to preorder the day before. Also, beware if you have tree nut allergy because the crust toppings get cross contaminated with the almonds and walnuts at the end of the day. The guy at the register told me they just combine everything together so he recommended it is not suitable for people with nut allergies. read more

get the coffee breads!!!! The smell will hit you down the street and trust me it won't disappoint. Hope they come out with coffee cream buns... read more

I love their watermelon Bingsoo! But the service sucks. The lady was not friendly. So it made the experience not so great. Maybe I'll just take it to go next time. Hahaha read more

This café surprised me in the best way. Their coffee bun bread is on another level--soft, warm, and perfectly fluffy, the kind of bun that melts into your coffee and makes the whole experience feel luxurious. The owner even mentioned that customers come all the way from the East Coast and other states just to enjoy these buns, and honestly... I get it. I also tried the pineapple soft ice cream, which was refreshing, light, and a perfect balance to the warm pastry. The whole place has a cozy, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. If you're looking for a café that delivers comfort, great flavors, and a memorable experience, this spot is absolutely worth the trip. read more

Sobok Sobok is such a delightful spot. We tried their ice cream along with the coffee bun in the original flavor, and everything was excellent. They were generous with samples, so we got to try the matcha, strawberry Dole, pineapple Dole, and milk flavors. Every single one was delicious. One of the best parts is that you can swirl flavors together. The matcha and strawberry combo was a standout, as was the milk and pineapple swirl. The flavors were smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. Highly recommend the matcha and strawberry if you're deciding what to get. The coffee bun was also a hit. It's similar to a pineapple bun or a concha, but with a coffee-flavored cookie topping. Warm, soft inside, and so flavorful. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place I'd come back to and recommend to others. read more

Their original coffee bun is sooo good! Freshly baked, no caffeine, or preservatives. They offer six different bun flavors: Original, Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon, Walnut, Almond, and Yogurt Chip. Original is hands down the best! This place gets very busy so go early if you can. We went around 2pm on a Saturday and they were almost out of a few flavors. They also offer drinks, ice cream, and various flavors of bing soo. I tried their iced Korean Style Coffee. It was okay... nothing special. I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

So glad I got to visit Sobok Sobok. It's located in a plaza so parking wasn't an issue. When we walked in there was no crowd or line so we got to order right away. But after a few minutes there was a line forming and the place got crowded. I ordered the box of 6 and got chocolate chip, almond, walnut and cinnamon. I want to say chocolate chip and cinnamon were my fave and it was so delicious I'm having cravings. I also ordered the cold brew float which was also very good!!! I'm definitely coming back! I would recommend! read more

I have passed by Sobok Sobok too many times to count over the past few years, but what always intrigued me were the fresh aromas wafting from the bakery every time I walked by. Original Coffee Bun $3.50 * Sobok Sobok buns are made without caffeine and preservatives. This is great that they have these posted around the bakery because some people are sensitive to caffeine, and they are also safe for children to eat. They also sell buns individually or in gift box sets, along with combo menus with a drink or a dessert. Their drink menu includes coffee, tea, smoothies, and juice. I was welcomed as I stepped up to the register. Since I already picked up food before our visit to Sobok Sobok, I ended only picking up an Original Coffee Bun. It is a bit pricey, especially as there is no filling or etc. but it did have the "melt in your mouth" taste. It did kind of remind us of the HK pineapple buns, with the "texture" on top of the bun. The bun was fresh and soft. The interior and restroom are pretty clean. I do not think the A/C was on though, so it was a bit warm on the inside. Parking in this plaza is a bit tough, so the best of luck, especially when the In-N-Out is open for business. read more

This place is dangerous! The moment you walk in, you will be welcomed by delicious, sweet, coffee aroma! I just wish I can smell this all the time! Tried the chocolate and almond bun! They are perfectly crispy on the exterior and soft and moist in the inside. I want to come back to this place again to try the yogurt one? And eat it with coffee. Never heard of the place, but it truly was such a pleasant surprise! read more

Smelled so delicious with freshly baked coffee buns inviting me into the store. Brought several boxes of buns to bring home and share with friends and family. Made my car smell so yummy too! Was slightly disappointed when eating one at home without heating it up. But next one I ate later in the evening and next morning, was delicious after reheating in the air fryer. Definitely try it fresh and warm! read more

The coffee buns 5/5 Strawberry latte 0/5 The Coffee Buns are to die for! Service was really good. I didn't like my Latte and they were kind enough to redo it at no cost. PS. Their lattes don't have coffee in it. ( it's straight milk and flavorings or syrups) Ambience was alright. The view and smell of the freshly baked buns is delicious. read more

Big parking lot. You walk into the smell of the coffee bread. It's a Korean owned shop. They have some basic coffee. Korean coffee and some flavored latte. I ordered a hot Korean coffee reg flavor, iced ube latte and a box4 that has mini coffee buns. It's so fresh out of the oven that she is telling customers to leave the box open till it's cooled down. read more

My friend & I stopped by here initially wanting to grab coffee but noticed the black sesame latte on the menu. Both of us love black sesame so we tried it & it was good! I was impressed that it wasn't sweet at all. And the coffee bun was addicting. It was so soft & fluffy. Service was friendly & efficient. The ambiance was busy & it smelled like good coffee pastry. I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

Always been curious about Sobok Sobok's coffee buns and finally had the chance to try them. We stopped by and, unfortunately, they were out of the choco chip and almond ones that day. So instead, we went with the original, walnut, and yogurt chip buns to take home and enjoy with coffee. At first, to be honest I wasn't impressed. However, the original coffee bun stood out with its strong, lingering coffee flavor that's almost magical. The next day, I found myself craving it--like I was hooked! Fast forward to Christmas Day: we made a special trip to grab more, since we were glad to find out they were open! only to arrive 40 mins before closing and learn they'd sold out their buns entirely and shut early. It was such a letdown. To make things worse, we picked up a coffee bread from store next door that didn't come close to satisfying our craving :( Sobok Sobok's coffee buns are undeniably delicious, but they seem to sell out quickly, or randomly run out during the day. It would be great if they could bake more to meet demand, especially on busy days. Despite the hiccups, I'll definitely be back--because those original coffee buns are something special. read more

The enticing aroma of coffee led me to this place. On the right side directly after the entrance, there were racks of delicious looking buns topped with a variety of flavors. I decided to order 3 chocolate chips and 3 yogurt chips buns, which came up to $22.90. Well it was worth the price! The buns were so soft and slightly warm, while the chocolate chips were melting away inside the bag. Proofs that these buns were freshly baked and probably just came out of the oven not long before my arrival. I'm actually surprised to know that the buns don't have caffeine on them. There were signs letting customers know that they don't use preservatives nor caffeine for these buns. That's even better since I can safely let my kids enjoy these delicious looking buns. And yes, all of them loved it. We finished all 6 buns in one day. I like the yogurt chips buns while the kids prefer the chocolate chips ones. read more

The coffee was perfect- hot and bold. Not too much sugar. We got a specialty bread (mixed buns) box and it did not disappoint. We got here when they opened so our buns were fluffy and warm, fresh out of the over. The lady that helped us was very nice and patient. She explained the different types of bread they had, as well as drinks. The shop is very clean. Nice decor and furnitur Great place to visit. read more

I have visited and throughly enjoyed the coffee buns here at Sobok Sobok before, especially when you can get them fresh out of the oven. In my most recent visit, I decided to try something different and ordered their injeolmi red bean bingsu. Injeolmi red bean bingsu: 3.5/5. There is plenty of red bean on top and even more buried underneath the ice. The injeolmi powder gives the bingsu a sweet and nutty flavor. However, there were a few portions of the shaved ice that tasted unsweetened. Overall a reasonably priced dessert that'll satisfy my sweet tooth. read more

This spot is the perfect mix of "aesthetic" and "authentic." * Jujube Tea (대추차): Thick, earthy, and genuinely healthy. It's packed with actual jujube slices and nuts, making it feel more like a nourishing snack than just a drink. * Coffee Buns: The smell alone is a winner. You get that signature crisp, coffee-cookie crust on the outside and a soft, buttery center. The Verdict: A great balance of traditional Korean flavors and cozy bakery vibes. Perfect if you want something that feels "good for you" (the tea) alongside a solid treat (the bun). read more

Stopped by sobok sobok on our way to do some grocery shopping at najiya market. Wife wanted to get some coffee. They are also known for their coffee buns. I've had their coffee buns in the past and were good. My wife got their regular coffee and i opted to try their korean coffee. I liked that the coffee came canned in house, a straw is also provided if you choose to drink from a straw. Not sure what makes a korean coffee but it was really good. I would definitely order it again in the future. The flavor is balanced and not too sweet. 10/10 recommend trying the korean coffee. Service was quick did not take long for order to be completed. read more

Tight space, but in a plaza with ample parking (which makes it a bit more alluring than fighting for my life at diamond plaza for sul & beans). I've shared the mango bingsoo with a friend, but it seems during the summer they offer individual cups. The buns are nice and fluffy with a crispy exterior. Nothing was too sweet so immigrant mom approved. Because they do bake their buns fresh, it is pretty warm inside so keep that in mind on a hot summer day. Seating is very limited. I will be back! read more

Absolutely love this place! It's the only location I know that makes amazing coffee bread (with no caffeine!) I've been coming here since it was known as "Oh My Buns!". The coffee aroma from the bread is very fragrant and it tastes just as good when you eat it! Definitely recommend :) read more

I don't know if I came here on an off day or what but ordered two coffee buns and a cold brew. Cold brew was very bland to me, but I can kinda understand cause I'm usually a four shots espresso guy. But the buns, they were stale and very, very chewy... maybe im just not used to the texture. Maybe I'll give this place another try, but this time the experience was disappointing. read more

If you live around Rowland Heights, you probably already know Sobok Sobok! Their Korean coffee buns are my absolute favorite -- I bring a box home every now and then, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat. Coffee Bun Crispy on the outside like a pineapple bun, soft and fluffy on the inside! Besides the classic original, they also have chocolate, walnut, almond, yogurt white chocolate, and cinnamon. Pro tip: pop them in the air fryer for 3 minutes before eating -- the crispiness is irresistible! Croiffle + Ice Cream Combo Croiffle = croissant + waffle . Golden and crispy on the outside, buttery and soft inside. Pair it with pineapple ice cream -- the hot croiffle topped with cold ice cream gives you that amazing hot-and-cold contrast. Totally addictive! Strawberry Matcha A super photogenic drink! Strawberry chunks with the earthy bitterness of matcha create a sweet-yet-slightly-bitter balance. Fresher and more flavorful than a regular matcha latte -- fruity, refreshing, and delicious. Cookies n Cream Frappuccino Vanilla frappe base + Oreo cookie crumbles. Creamy, icy, with crunchy cookie bits throughout -- like drinking a melted Oreo ice cream shake! If you've got a sweet tooth, this one's for you (but skip it if you don't like sweet drinks). read more

Got a matcha ice cream and coffee bun, and they have a few combos as well which are nice to share or try different items. First time I've tried a Korean Coffee bun, and it says no caffeine so I don't really know what makes up the coffee on the bun, but I know it's delicious! Soft fluffy bread covered with a flaky - almost glaze of coffee crust. Matcha flavor was alright, but the texture was nice Prices here are also great and the employees are very sweet! read more
