We tried their cakes and bingsoo. All were very good. Their coffee was good, but not the best. Their staff were very nice. They played easy listening music that made us feel relaxed. - We visited this place again a few more times and enjoyed their mango bingsoo. It was delicious.

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.

Stopped by after driving by many times! I got a few treats and they were all amazing. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and I took a look around before picking what I wanted and checking out. Staff are kind, the bakery is so cute, everything is delicious. The cakes look amazing!

Such a cute little spot!! I enjoy coming here both by myself and with my friend. The food and drinks are nice, but if you get the hot dog pizza, please warm it up at home, it's not good cold. Keep in mind though that you need to make a $5 minimum purchase if you wanna use a card!

The milk bingsoo was so good. None of their desserts are too sweet and are all around well-flavored. I’ve come here in the mornings as soon as they open, and they’re busy packing up freshly baked breads and pastries for that day!

Super cute bakery with yummy pastries and cookies. There is a wide selection of coffee, tea, and boba. There also seems to be some warm breakfast sandwiches. I ended up buying 2 sugar donut twists and an earl grey tea. The donut twists were amazing! Wonderfully fluffy and covered in coarse sugar. The earl grey was decent but I like that a 16 oz was their medium. Definitely check out this cafe. It was clean and cute with good food.
