    Tried this really popular bakery trending right now in social media.There was a short queue when we went. The pastries look highly appealing. They look like croissants filled with different fun feelings. They taste pretty good, actually. But upon further scrutiny, it really is simply some kind of bread dough that's shaped like a croissant. It's an interesting concept, but I'm a purist at heart. Either give me a nice piece of bread or a croissant that's flaky and buttery. That's why I'm not a real big fan and convert with this idea. The store is basically a counter. Everything is to go. There are about 12 different flavors. Each one is really filling. Service is fast. You order, it's boxed, then you pay. No ambience to speak of, Just a little counter and a small bench to wait for your order.

    No seats, no public restrooms, just order and go. The parking lot is weird cuz it's a one way but you'll be misled if u turn in from one of the entrances- good luck! Not a lot of parking spots because they're all reserved for different businesses. Cute shop, again, tiny, grab and go like your donut shop. Got the creme brulee and the sugar was SO beautiful, too much cream tho- squirted all over my shirt from the hole in the bottom. The salt bread was fresh and hot at 11:30am! But it got chewy when it cooled down. Would recommend and would come again.

    Salt bread

    Finally got to try salt bread! We took a day trip to Vancouver and I knew this had to be one of our first stops. One thing I immediately appreciated was that it's a proper storefront rather than a pop-up with chaotic lines. There isn't much seating available, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. They had a nice variety of both sweet and savory options, but we decided to keep it simple and try the original, garlic cream cheese, and everything seasoning flavors. I had intentionally lowered my expectations a bit since salt bread has become such a huge internet trend, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bread itself was excellent. Crispy and lightly buttery on the outside while staying incredibly soft and fluffy on the inside. The specialty flavors were enjoyable as well. The garlic cream cheese had a nice balance of savory garlic flavor with just a touch of sweetness, while the everything seasoning version was savory, oniony, and satisfying. Overall, it made for a great quick snack and lived up to the hype more than I expected. I believe they also serve coffee and other café beverages, though I didn't get the chance to try any this visit. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Richmond.

    Dubai, Earl Grey and Mango

    I honestly had high expectations going in because I love my bread and seeing how much these cost, I told myself that these better be good. Safe to say, 2/3 that I tried exceeded it. My favourite one was the Dubai, which was the most pricey, but it was PACKED and heavy, figuratively and literally. I wasn't able to finish it since I was going to dinner but I felt that if I ate the whole thing, I wouldn't need dinner anymore. It wasn't sweet at all but if you love Dubai chocolate, then you would love this as you bite into the hardened chocolate, you are welcomed by a jam packed amounts of pistachio kataifi. Close second is the earl grey. I am not a big fan of cream but this earl grey was super light and fluffy, and wasn't sweet at all, with very strong earl grey flavour. The bread was also very buttery and crispy, which I realized was that they sugar coated the bottom of the bun so when you bite into it, you get this nice crunch. However, the mango wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't like the cream that they used, and the bun didn't have the crunch, but opposite, soggy texture, and I really dislike soggy bread. There wasn't a lot of mango either, it was more cream. So I guess if you like cream, then you might like this.

    Waited so long for the debut launch! The line was long for the grand opening event and took around 1.5 hours...so I feel like some better prep could have been done to make the line go faster. It was worth the wait though because the salt bread was super authentic and I loved the earl grey cream!

    I visited Seoulful which is specializes for Shio-pan. This place offer wide variety of shio pan with unique filling . What I got: Original shio pan Pistachio and raspberry shio pan Ube cream shio pan Dubai chocolate shio pan Mango cream shio pan Garlic cheese shio pan If you get 6 pieces, tax will be free. Original shio pan had very buttery and crispy texture at the bottom. Dough was nicely fluffy and chewy. Comparing to other Shio pan shop, this place's bread's size is larger. And dough itself was not too buttery , which works with variety of flavor and filling such as whipped cream. Ube cream shio pan was very good. Ube cream had Ube paste texture with strong ube flavor. It was good item. Mango cream shio pan had a lot of whipping cream on the top with white chocolate pieces with a lot of mango slices inside. It was also very good item. Pistachio and raspberry was just ok, Pistachio cream flavor was a bit weak, so, raspberry jam dominate the flavor. Garlic cheese shio pan was good and very rich item. I enjoyed a lot of cream cheese filling. Graze on top was also good accent. Highlight was Dubai chocolate shio pan. This price was a bit higher than others, however, it worth trying it. Kataifi filling was generous amount, and paired with coated chocolate very well. Very crispy, rich and bold item. It was really delicious item. Overall, I really enjoyed their variety of shio pan items with unique filling. Bread size is larger than other shop. I will revisit and want to try new flavor!

    Delicious salt bread bakery in Richmond, with plenty of different flavours. I liked that there were different options and I went with the Earl Grey salt bread. Each one ranges around $6-7. i enjoyed the flavour but the buttery salt bread with extra cream and sugary toppings was a bit too much for me. Will probably stick to the plain one if I come again.

    Dubai chocolate, ube, black sesame
    Allen W.

    Came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Got the dubai chocolate, ube, and black sesame. The best one by far was the dubai chocolate - the pistachio filling was sooo yum :)) The ube and black sesame flavors were milder, but the bread is good all the same. Has a nice crunch on the outside and a fluffiness on the inside. It's a pretty small shop, not really a sit down place, but there's plenty of parking. They do run out of flavors towards the end of the day (we came after dinner and there were some sold out).

    Best salt breads I've ever had! It was crispy and fluffy. The fillings are amazing. I love the garlic cream cheese one the most. It's a very small cozy cafe.

    (3.75/5) I decided to drop by this newly opened Korean snack + salt bread place in Richmond. We ordered a few things for take out. The store does not have dine in space which is a shame because they have quite a few menu items. There are however, a few chairs for people waiting to pick up food. We ordered the garlic cream cheese and tiramisu salt bread (no pic of tiramisu oops) as well as the soul bbq kimbap and matcha latte (also not pictured oops). The salt bread is divine! The garlic cream cheese is filled with cream cheese and was buttery and garlicky to perfection. I also liked the tiramisu as well. The texture of the bread is really good. In addition, the kimbap was a nice surprise. The meat and sauce paired really well (like kbbq in a kimbap) and was a unique item to try. I would not recommend the matcha latte as the matcha does not seem to be good quality and tasted very chalky and grassy. Overall, I was impressed by the salt bread and kimbap, but was a bit disappointed by the matcha latte. The pricing is also quite high so a snack can easily turn into the price of a meal. I would love to return to try other menu items sometime.

    If you're into trendy foods this is definitely the soot for you, was fun experiencing their world cup menu. Definitely very flavorful, if you have a sweet tooth this is DEFINITELY for you. I personally don't have that much of a sweet tooth so it was a little much for me. Even the savory flavor we had leaned more towards sweet. I don't exactly remember the price so I cannot speak on that but it's a pretty small store so I believe it's more you get them to-go. Service was nice. Overall a wonderful experience!

    Heard a lot about this spot making salt bread so I had to check it out when I'm in town. They have a variety of selections. Friends and I bought Matcha, Ube, Black Sesame, and Original without fillings. The cream filled is not too sweet. It balances the saltiness of salted bread. It was good but not sure it is worth the price. Quite expensive.

    Soft opening. They just opened 4 weeks ago. No seating at this point indoor or outdoor. Parking: find designated parking or the stall without any marking We stopped by and buy to go. We waited for 5-10min because they made them right away fresh. The ladies are super friendly and nice. We ordered: Garlic creme cheese Original salted bread Everything Wish we can try more. They also have food too. See photos. Overall bread is soft, very buttery. Like the flavour.

    Tried out Babatang Coconut Sweets for a weekend dessert. It's tucked away behind the Richmond…read moreCostco. The inside is spacious with several tables (32 seats). Order and pay at the counter, then wait for your order to be called. - Mango lover's ($18.00) - decent amount of mango. Coconut pudding was unique, small portion size - Taro ball ($16.00) - wish they gave more taro balls

    cute story behind ba ba tang. apparently the whole concept was inspired by a father's love for his…read moredaughter and his desire to create the coconut desserts she grew up wishing she had. somehow, knowing that makes the place feel even warmer and more genuine. we dropped in a little after 8:30 on a tuesday after googling "desserts near me," and i'm glad we did. tucked away in the strip mall behind costco in richmond, it's one of those places you could easily miss if you weren't looking for it. the name and logo felt strangely familiar, so i asked if they used to be on denman. they laughed and told me they were on robson instead, and suddenly it all made sense. the interior is surprisingly spacious, with lots of room to sit and relax. what really caught my eye was the large mural inspired by monet's water lilies. it gives the whole space a calm, dreamy atmosphere that matches the refreshing drinks and coconut theme perfectly. their menu goes way beyond desserts. there are cakes, packaged ramen, honey castella, canned drinks, takoyaki, fresh coconut meat chicken soup, chaga mushroom products, and an entire lineup of signature coconut and yogurt drinks. it feels part café, part dessert house, and part specialty market. we ordered the mad mango and daddy's pink drink. the mad mango tasted like actual fruit instead of syrup. bright, juicy, naturally sweet, and incredibly refreshing. every sip had that fresh tropical flavour that makes you feel like summer arrived early. daddy's pink drink was equally memorable. smooth, fruity, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. the name makes even more sense once you learn the story behind the brand, it feels like a small tribute to the idea that food and drinks made with care can carry a lot of love. definitely a place i'll return to, not just for the drinks, but for the atmosphere and the story behind it all.
