Germantown Bakery

Back in the days of old, mom and dad usually brought my nephew to this nearby Korean bakery.
Since they’re resting in peace, I’m continuing the practice.
He’s a local and when I visit (often) it’s an easy stop since they’re inside Lotte Plaza Market.
Über-​convenience brings us back for more. After grocery shopping in Lotte, having lunch next door, or finishing a meal at the food court also inside Lotte — a cinch.
These folks sell popular Korean pastries similar to Shilla and other k-​bakeries.
We routinely eye and grab the same goodies.
Nephew likes:
–Cream puffs: Bite-​sized; fun for kids
–Soboro: Korean streusel bread w/​peanut crumble
topping
–Milky slushy taro boba smoothie
My picks pair well w/​black coffee or plain tea:
–Steamed cake: Very spongy bouncy cake — fave
–Castella cake: Firm sponge cake
–Madeleines: Do you see a pattern here? :)
We usually pay by cash and I’m guessin’ they’ve nicknamed me «quarters» lol. No elaboration needed, right?
Friendly easygoing staff always ready to share a smile.
They offer a medley of pastries and cakes so give this local spot a go.

My family loves the Asian pastries here. We regularly get the red bean, coconut cream, custard cream, and butter cream. But have also gotten mocha cream and ham. Their mango bubble drinks are the best (as determined by my children!). More like creamy milkshakes and rich in flavor. The cappuccino bubble drink is great too. Located in the Lotte Plaza Asian/​International Market.
