My #1 pick here, empty ball bread! Crispy on the outside and oddly satisfying to pop before taking a bite. So fun and playful – you should definitely try it 🙂

The owner looks a bit like Rick from Rick and Morty, but he makes amazing bread and pastries. He’s super friendly, and once you start going often, he feels like a nice, slightly grumpy grandpa, if that makes sense. You’ve got to try the walnut round cake, hodu gwaja! It’s the best!!

If you’re looking for a delightful Korean bakery experience, this spot is an absolute gem! Their cakes are incredibly soft, moist, and packed with delicate flavors—each bite feels like a little piece of heaven. But the real showstopper is their bingsu, the most refreshing and perfectly balanced shaved ice I’ve ever had. Topped with fresh fruit, sweet red bean, and just the right amount of condensed milk, it’s the perfect treat for any time of day. On top of that, the owner is unbelievably kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend!

This traditional Korean bakery offers a variety of classic Korean bakery items, including buns, bread with bean-based fillings, donuts, rolls, traditional bite-sized cookies, cakes, and desserts like bingsu. In contrast to other well-known Korean bakeries in the vicinity, they focus on traditional rather than modern pastries and desserts. The service is efficient, and while the bakery is a bit dated, it is well-maintained. The prices are generally fair. They have simple essential drinks like tea and coffee on the menu but do not have specialty / gourmet coffee drinks.

Best value Korean bakery around. We spent about $70 here so while we didn’t try one of everything, we did have a good selection. All great and we figure it would be close to double in the big chains. Owner was kind enough to compliment my Korean so nice bonus 🙂

20230407 The selection is smaller than other Korean bakeries in the area. I got the almond cookies, and they were ok. I tried to order the red bean smoothie, and was told that she can’t make it. my friend commented that the cakes looked old, not fresh. I read reviews that mentioned rats and cockroaches in this place. Good thing we are not planning on coming back.

Small place with a big heart! The fruit bingsu was amazing — super fresh and delicious. The owner, an elderly man, is incredibly hardworking and so kind. You can feel the love and effort in everything. Definitely worth a visit!

Napoleon Bakery!
As many people have said, the sweet red bean bread at Napoleon Bakery is the best. It’s not like any other Korean franchise bakery in the area, and the amount of red beans in the bread is unparalleled. It’s the best sweet red bean bread in the area. If you don’t already know about this Napoleon bakery, I highly recommend checking it out the next time you’re in the Annandale area.

Great bakery where it is run by one person – baker, owner, etc. Therefore be patient when ordering. The red bean buns are delicious and looking forward to trying more. He has been there for decades and has been generously been giving back to the community. Love supporting a lovely small business.
