I eat here once or twice a week for lunch since I work nearby. The ambiance is very relaxing and the place is cute and well-maintained. Unless they're swamped, service is very fast and allows me to eat there and still make it back to work on a short lunch break. I usually eat a sandwich and drink a coffee, but the baked goods like their breads and desserts are really the star here. read more

Best pastries and best sandwiches! I love their brioche's and I always have to stop myself from buying armfuls of pasties

Service is a little rude and a bit arrogant. Their coffee taste absolutely horrible. Probably one of the worst cafes I've been to. The ambience is cute and clean but hardly any seating when I went. Also, parking is extremely terrible. I probably wouldn't ever go again... read more

My favorite Korean bakery in the Atlanta area! This particular location is spacious, but it is always full most of the time.. just shows how popular this place is. It also has a wide variety of pastries, including the traditional Korean pastries. In addition, they have breakfast and lunch sandwiches many of which you can order as a combo with drinks! I absolutely love their cakes too! Perfect level of sweetness! Exactly why I got my wedding cake here :) read more

Love everything in this bakery! Go earlier than later because they start to sell out. Very busy and great hangout spot.

We visit this place a year ago for the Bingsu dessert, which we enjoyed ONCE and never again. Theirs always an excuse,"machine's broken". Get your dessert elsewhere. read more

This is a great and unique cafe! They have a huge selection of rolls, breads, pastries and cookies at any time of day. I have also tried their bubble teas which while not their specialty, are still pretty good. The indoor area has a ton of seating by and seems like a cozy spot to get some work done... and judging by the number of people with laptops, it seems like others agree. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and the place was pretty bumpin. Not sure if the parking lot supports all the traffic the place can generate but it wasn't an issue for me. Good looking cafe ambience with all types of seating- lounge chairs with smaller tables, tables and chairs, etc. Lots of choices when it comes to breads. What I will say is they are almost all overpriced. A bag of cookies for $7-9? Unsure. I tried a bread labeled "Mochi" but it ended up being a cream cheese type bread with raisins and nuts. It wasn't bad, just not what I expected. The hazelnut latte was eh. Not much hazelnut flavor. Would have been more impressed if it tasted that way as a plain latte but as a flavored one, it missed the mark. Worth visiting if you're looking for a nice aesthetic to get some work done, read a book, or catch up with a friend. It's a big enough place it had the "stay a while" vibe without feeling bad. read more

Friends and I shared the mango bingsoo. Comes in a pretty large bowl ($16) which we shared between three people. Very creamy and milky (so beware if you're very lactose intolerant). Overall pretty sweet, including the mango. Very cute atmosphere and the outdoor patio has some cute lights at night. read more

White Windmill - Mango Bingsoo - Bakeries Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Im basically a donut, croissant, pancake, muffin, any kind of pastry lover. This place is like my ultimate dream come true when it comes to those sort of items. They probably had 60+ breads or pastries to choose from and even have samples to try! The inside of the store is really cool and we loved the tiny seats next to the window with a round table to share food on. The food: We got 4 different pastries and honestly I cant remember their names. With that being said, we had an item similar to a cinnamon roll that was caramelized on the bottom with pecans on top and that was my favorite. We got a cream cheese filled roll that was just as good if not better in the girlfriends eyes! We had a green bean pastry which was foreign to us but we loved whatever the "green bean" pastry had in it. The coffee roll was the least impressive of the bunch, but it tasted like a roll infused with coffee and was yummy. The coffee: We both got hazelnut coffee as we're hooked on Paneras. We both thought the coffee was really good but not quite as good as Panera Hazelnut which is a high mark to hit. Overall, we will be coming back here to try more of the awesome pastries and sweets! read more

Stopped in yesterday to pick up a pastry. I came in around 6pm on a Tuesday and they still had plenty to choose from (although something were gone). There were a lot of good looking options. I decided on the strawberry cheese turnover. It was very tasty! The croissant was fluffy and soft. The filling wasn't too sweet, but just enough. And the strawberries added a natural sweetness that was just perfect. Lots of good options here! read more

I had the Hazelnut Latte and K had Cafe Mocha. I still have to add 3 sugars....so I messed up the pretty design. Lol. It was freezing inside but we found a table outside, which was nice. We had the small chocolate chip cookies and K thought they were sweet. I thought they were good, similar to shortbread cookies. But I wished I could have tried the oreo cheesecake. They only had a whole one that they weren't cutting. I still prefer my favorite spot on Pleasant Hill Road, Sweet Hut, cause I like the cheesecake there. read more

What a special place! The atmosphere is unique and comfortable! There are so many incredible pastry items to choose from, it's hard not to buy all of them! They pair amazing pastries with amazing coffee! We thoroughly enjoy the experience every time we drive through town! read more

Coffee and specialty coffee drinks are great. They offer different types of warm sandwiches for lunch. Fresh baked goods everywhere. I have been here twice and both times they were out of gluten free items (except macarons) but they are $4 each. Bougie little coffee place that's cute but overpriced. 4 of our party got coffee and sandwiches with chips and it was $85. No one gets a cupcake in this trip. read more

I have been coming here for a very long time. I absolutely love their selection of bread, cookies, and pastries. My favorite savory bread is the sausage with cheese roll. Their coffee cream roll is also really good. Their house coffee and their white cafe mocha are very good. As well as their new pistachio latte. Their service used to be very good, but not as much now. Some of the cashiers are a little rude and don't greet certain customers sometimes (seem to only pay special attention to Asian customers). The cafe is very cute and cozy. It is a great place to get work done and have some coffee with friends too. It isn't too loud. Sears can get pretty full throughout the day. read more

One of the best bakery's in Atlanta! My favorite are the cream cheese brioche and blueberry bread! They also have great coffee drinks too! read more

White Windmill - Cream Cheese Brioche - Bakeries Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

This is for their boba. It's pretty dismal. Weak tea flavor and the pearls are hard. The cashiers here are always changing now (did they get bought?) and they didn't know what they were doing or what ingredients went onto which drink.it took 5 minutes to order a "no sugar " drink turns out it was premixed powder with sugar. Ah they also did not provide straws for my to go order. Altogether pretty poor experience with their tea. Just get the pastries and look for better tea around. read more

Yelp Reviews: Quarantine Edition #66 The Mother of White Windmills! I haven't been in Atlanta long, but I've been around long enough to observe the sizable Korean population here. From Doraville through Duluth, from Johns Creek through Suwanee, between 285 and 85, and all the way up Buford Highway heading northeast, the Kimchi Korridor through the suburbs north of Atlanta is home to one of the most robust Korean communities anywhere in America. Besides H Marts marking Korean outposts stretching ever northward beyond ATL, it seems like White Windmill Bakeries go hand-in-hand with the expanding reach of the Korean American culture here. And why not? Similar to Paris Baguette in other major cities in America, White Windmill provides coffee, cakes, cookies, fresh-baked bread, pastries, salads, sandwiches, and even shaved ice all day long... from 7:30 am through 11 at night! These places are amazing for studying, serving as a mobile workplace, and catching up with old friends; no wonder they're a hit! The White Windmill in Doraville off Oakcliff Road and Buford Highway NE is probably the biggest one I've seen in the Greater Atlanta area and their selection of products are truly impressive. In a pinch, you can grab something quick to eat on the road, some holiday gifts for your favorite sweet tooth, or really luxuriate with a full on KDrama-style brunch as you gossip/argue with your friends/lovers. It's places like this that really help anchor a community... on your way to or from Atlanta proper, make sure you check this place out! read more

White Windmill - Amazing selection! - Bakeries Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

One of my favorite local Korean Bakeries in suburban ATL. Out of all the classic red bean donuts I've tried (and I've tried A LOT at various other locations) White Windmill's is consistently the best. The interior esthetic is very warm & inviting. It's easy to get comfortable here with others or just by yourself. Things you should know: I. LOCATION Taking a left turn INTO the bakery during peek rush hour times or taking a left turn OUT of the parking lot can be overwhelming. Save yourself the stress and take the back way out/in. Don't be afraid to utilize the light at Oakcliff Road for those tricky left turns. II. QUALITY Never had any complaints. Everything is baked fresh daily. I've tried so many pastries here and even the fish-shaped buns. Nothing ever fails to meet my expectations. Pre-COVID, they had samples out to try--hopefully they can get back to that standard again in the future. III. SERVICE Good. I've even had a person at the register make a recommendation based off the palate I had. He recommended their dutch coffee since I like my drinks acidic & black. He didn't steer me wrong--he knew his stuff. IV. CAPACITY I've always managed to find somewhere to sit, but there are definitely times where it has been packed here. Typically after 3pm on week days and on weekends. read more

My new study spot. I'm currently studying for one final exam, and was in desperate search for a chill study spot. With COVID happening, and being locked up in the house forever, I wanted to switch up my study atmos' so I decided to check out WWBC. Let me just say, this is truly a hidden gem! Not only is the cafe super spacious (with both outdoor and indoor seating), it is super clean! They are practicing social distancing, so not all tables and seating are open, which is fantastic. I was greeted right away, which I super appreciated. They have a wide assortment of pastries, so I'm glad I had dinner before coming or else I would have purchased everything in sight, as everything looked so fresh and delicious. I came here on a Tuesday evening around 7pm, and it was somewhat crowded. However, I was able to snag a seat near the entrance, which was great. As I wasn't hungry, I opted for a green tea bubble Thai tea, which was sooo good! Wow! I never had a bubble tea that tasted so good. And coming from San Francisco, I've had my share of bubble tea's. Overall, this is a fantastic place to come to work, study, meet up with friends, or just come to people watch. I truly appreciate the fact that this place stays open until 10pm, as I'm a working professional who doesn't get off work until 6pm. Even though I live across town, the drive is oh so worth it! read more

White Windmill - Green Tea Bubble Thai Tea- ~$5 - Bakeries Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

Here's the thing about white windmill. The size of the cafe is very large. They have an assortment of different breads. My star knock off is that they don't refill the breads that often. Other places are cranking out breads every time I visit, so I'm able to get my hands on a few of the ones that I really enjoy. I came to get my bread fixin, but just wish that they would have the popular ones more frequently. I was visiting with my friend because he was buying for his family. So we had 2-3 baskets. We were filling up pretty quick and it got out of hand in the sense that we had to spread the bread out to see how many we got of each. There was a small table on the side, and it wasn't being used by the workers. So we put it on there to count/check, the guy working told us to move it all and to do it at the register counter. We weren't ready for check out, but also, does it hurt for us to use the table just for a second? After we took it off, the guy wasn't even using it at all! When I asked him about certain breads of if they had in stock, his tone was not the best and made me feel a little upsetting. It was as if, why don't I know the answer to that already. Next time, I would feel reluctant to come back. read more

This is a hidden gem and now my go-to spot for my coffee. I love the atmosphere it's so cozy and clean. I came on a Saturday morning and they were very busy. They have a variety of unique pastries, sandwiches and coffee to choose from. I really love how fresh and soft the pastries were. I ordered a iced caramel macchiato, hazy latte, caramel macchiato, blueberry scone, wrapped sausage. They were all delicious. The coffee ranges from $2-$5 depending on the size you want but some of the coffee or beverages only come in one size. They offer wifi, seating inside and outside on their patio. I would say it's a good place to study but due to them being so busy it will get nosey. Their in between Firestone and Towers Liquor store so parking is limited and it might be hard to find a close parking spot. read more

I like White Windmill in general. The pastries and drinks good. The sandwiches are decent. You get free wifi. Chill. Do homework. Log in work. Whatever works. I like this particular location the most too with how roomy it is but it can get packed. I always get the freshly squeeze grapefruit drink. Always refreshing. 40/2021 read more

White Windmill - Grill cheese and freshly squeezed fraoefeuit juice - Bakeries Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

The White Windmill Bakery is a pretty nice cafe. It's very spacious on the inside, good lighting nd multiple power sockets for working from there. The staff has masks, they ask customer for them, they have tables that are forbidden to informe social distancing. The sandwiches are fine. Some better than others depending on yur tastes. They are kind of small but of you take advantage of the special of the day it's definitely worth it. The pastries are amazing. Very recommended. read more

Highlights: Variety of options, very friendly staff, but really busy and crowded. We got: - sweet potato manju, which was my fav! Intense sweet potato flavor (korean sweet potato, not American or Japanese). Pretty sweet. - cream cheese manju, delicious! But to be accurate, they are more like tiny pound cake bites :) - twisted donut, which we ate the next day (a girl can only eat so many pastries in one sitting), and it was stale to the MAX. Super surprised how quickly it staled up, or maybe it was already stale? I don't know and I will never know. Will have to try again next time. - cream cheese custard, not good. SO MUCH cream cheese custard and it wasn't necessarily sweet so it tasted tangy and... overwhelmingly cream cheesy. Not enough dough for that. Will not get again. The staff was REALY FRIENDLY. There was a really rude customer in front of us, and they handled her so professionally and sweetly. I was impressed! Overall, myriad options so it's definitely worth stopping by again to try other goodies! Very clean, lively, and friendly. I'd say 8 Gryffindor points out of 10. read more

So listen, we all know a bakeries best time is to go in the morning where everything is fresh and ample, with this location morning is beat because there were no long lines! My favorites are the fish shaped cakes and the creme buns. Places like this offer really healthier options of sweets vs other places. I personally like the I idea that my sweet tooth will be satisfied without a ton of cavities after. They have a natural sweetness that is quite addictive. Modify the coffees and drinks to not be so sugary and you can actually enjoy chasing down the breads. The fish shaped cakes are some of the best I've seen around town, they offer 2 flavors in packs of ten. I got 1/2 choux creme with is like custard texture, and red bean. Other places have Nutella and powdered sugar which is way too sweet. These little fishy shapes hold their shape and offer a nice chewy texture which is fun to eat. Made fresh to order definately worth the wait. read more

Large selection of pastries, super clean, and enforcing social distancing. I came by here to have breakfast while waiting for car maintenance to be finished and I felt very safe and satisifed with the experience. There are a ton of asian style pastries ranging from savory to sweet like red bean buns or sausage buns. Also assorted sliced bread, cookies, cakes, and a sandwich bar. At the counter you can order hot and cold drinks. We got a curry pastry and a sausage bun. Both were made really well! The curry pastry is covered in panko breading and has curry filling inside. The sausage buns were generous with sausage filling and also has this red savory sauce drizzled on top. I got a cafe mocha as well. Everything tasted great and service was fairly quick The tables inside have cards clearing stating which ones are closed for social distancing, and the place has good airflow. There is also an outdoor patio area if you want to sit outside and on top of that there was a ton of parking. A lot of people here were studying or working and there's free wifi. Definitely recommend you check out if you're in the area! read more

White Windmill makes the best pastries in the world. Every bite is magic. If I could be sustained only by their creamy breads and red bean donuts I would be a very happy man read more

We got inside before closing and waited in line by the time it was our turn to order it was closed so they refuse to make us any drinks.

This place is packed with delicious pastries, rolls and other goodies. I had a cream butter roll that melted in my mouth. The roll was so soft and fresh. The butter was creamy and sweet. I really wish I could try everything in this cafe. The atmosphere is fun/busy. I see why people like coming here. Cozy to hang out for hours and just talk, read or soak in some me time (like I'm doing). The cafe itself is very clean and pretty. Seriously, the only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I found the coffee very mediocre. I ordered a small cappuccino with oat milk and a small drip coffee with almond milk. Neither was spectacular but they were ok. I don't even have to give it a second thought that I will be back. read more

This place is half named after me. Because I'm not white, but I lovvvve to Windmill. Let me show you. SeriousIy, I really like White Windmill. They have nice cheap milk tea and it tastes pretty good. They're mainly a bakery but of course, typical me, to go there for bubble tea. They have Lovely service and good bathrooms. They have all kinds of delicious baked goods and is a great place to hang out and get fat - Asian style. You will really like them if you like Asian bakeries. Now it's time for me to do a windmill.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon to get some work done and had a decent experience. I will say, with so many other bakeries and cafes in the area, White Windmill is not my favorite, but it gets the job done. I do appreciate that they are open fairly late, have ample room for groups to meet or individuals to work/study/relax, and the staff is still wearing masks. They are a bit on the pricier side, but I think the quality could be better in terms of the beverages. Parking can be a bit difficult depending on the time of day, especially because it does seem like many people come there to have a few productive hours. It was fairly busy when I came and I was able to find parking around the side of the building with no issues. read more

Good service, good food and always a clean space to eat. No complaints as the staff is always friendly as well.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! The staff is so compassionate and the bakery is very clean and well kept. I love coming here for their fish shaped buns (made fresh by the staff), the caramel macchiato, bubble tea (large selection), and breads! Everything is so delicious! The breads are usually gone by the afternoon so it is a good idea to come early in the morning! They open at 7:30 AM! Also the sandwiches, soups and salads are to die for. There is a lady working the sandwich bar all by herself-she's killing it. Her sandwiches are amazing! I highly recommend the paninis (white windmill, chicken pomodoro, turkey pesto!) MAKE SURE TO ORDER SANDWICHES BEFORE 2:30! You'll have to wait until tomorrow otherwise! Sandwich bar is not open on sundays and holidays. Everything about the bakery is just so cute and it's a great environment filled with lots of families, couples, and friends! They also roast their own coffee beans in house and it's nutty and delicious! There's an outdoor patio and it's beautifully lit with Christmas lights during the night. There is so much variety in the breads from cream filled to nutty deliciousness; there's something for every bread lover. TIPS AT THE BAKERY: Hot drinks: there are two sizes-small and large EXCEPT cappuccino- small, medium and large! Cold drinks come in one size EXCEPT Iced americano and iced house coffee ICED HOUSE COFFEE had cream and sugar mixed in and is Pre chilled! Very delicious! Bubble teas: choose one of the flavors underneath the title-they are separated with commas (the whole list is not one flavor!) The drink consistency is like a slush-not a liquid tea! You can always get milk tea with boba if that's what you fancy! There are different toppings for the bubble teas, not just tapioca pearls. They are: LYCHEE POPPING BOBA, MANGO POPPING BOBA, COFFEE JELLY, RAINBOW JELLY Once the cakes are gone in the showcase, there are no more for the day! You can order then and pick it up after 9 am the next day. This applies for both whole cakes and the slices! Grab them fast! I love White Windmill. Their service and quality never falters; it's consistent and always exceeds my standards! I highly recommend this wonderful cafe for a fun gathering/hangout and even more for some alone time to watch a show or read a book and relax! read more

This is a great place to work from because lots of seating. Their bakery items like cookies, pastries, and bread are great. I haven't liked any of the drinks I've had here- The matcha latte was too sweet, and regular latte was ok, and the boba texture was a bit sticky. The lady at the counter was rushing a bit, but no major issues. read more
