Northern Canaan Bakery Corp

This Korean bakery is pretty darn delicious! It is now my second time coming here & I came quite early so there were not many breads available yet on display, but I didn’t come for that so it didn’t phase me one bit. I came back for the almond pound cake & wanted to try their soft pumpkin cookies, & almond cookies. I read a fellow Unilocaler’s review & they swore by the almond cookies & they are pricey at $ 4.25 but quality is quality & worth every penny if they are good. And they are superb. Superb! Wow. They are so packed with flavor & they are light & crispy with great almond flavor but they are not overly sweet. They only had chocolate almond cookies this morning but I love them, so I’m so glad I bought them! The pumpkin cookies are more like a mini pumpkin pastry & as everything else I have tried flavorful & balanced perfectly. Nothing I have tried is too sweet & the balance is truly sublime. I did not get coffee this morning because I made my Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk to have with my chocolate almond cookies because there is nothing quite like Vietnamese coffee; however, I tried their iced coffee last time I went to the bakery & it was seriously the best iced coffee I have ever had in America & that’s saying a lot. I’m a fan of this bakery but I can only give it four stars because as another fellow Unilocaler reviewed, they don’t give accurate change. My bill came to $ 7.50 but they didn’t give me the $.50 change back. She just closed the register. I wasn’t going to say anything because it’s $.50 but now in hind sight, I wish I did. That’s really not acceptable. I’m not hurting over change but maybe someone else needs that change for something. I think they need to remedy that issue as soon as possible.

I found a screw in the custard bread! It was baked into the bread blehh

Best ice coffee I have ever had and I’m a huge coffee fan. They do offer other, more fancy coffee drinks, but you won’t be sorry with just a plain ice coffee with milk and sugar. Next time I will for sure try one of their treats, which all look tasty.

I came in at 11am on a Saturday and the employees were busy putting the baked breads on the half empty shelves behind the counter. I couldn’t see everything that was offered bc the place wasn’t ready. Plus, the breads that were already packaged and out were from yesterday :/
Anyway, my family and I come here from time to time bc it’s a 10 min drive from our house. The baked goods are okay, but really, we prefer Koryodang or Paris Baguette’s breads for the better quality and variety that they offer, as well as the better atmosphere.
Pros:
1. Location (hair salon & h&y nearby; closer than flushing)
Cons:
1. Old breads offered. Messy display.

Cute little Korean Bakery with a variety of treats and eats!
Their mochi balls are yumm, yet pricey: $ 1.30 a pop! Next door you can get a six pack of mochi for $ 5.00. They make the best barley bread — every time I go, if they’re in stock… they won’t be after I’m gone! mwuahahahaha!
There are other yummy delectables but I can’t remember their names. I’m not Korean.
They have the best oregon chai tea. They serve sandwiches and bottled drinks too. It’s almost like a Korean Starbucks. (Only way better than Starbucks). Staff are friendly and if they mess up your order they will fix it right in front of you! No worries about spit and boogers in your food! :)
They have yummy sweet breads and their cakes are good but not my fancy. Very airy/​fluffy/​creamy but not thick, no anywhere in the middle.
Had poppinsu/​patbingsu there once. It was okay. Could have been done better, but all of the ingredients were good and fresh.
If their treats & eats don’t satisfy you and you’re not on a diet… Koreana is two doors down! ;)
Happy (tr)eats!

As I walked by to shop in H&Y Market I saw a poster with Shaved Ice dessert. I had to come back and try it. We ordered the shaved ice and a cake. The shaved ice is not that good and for 9 bucks. It was really not worth it. We are talking about shaved ice with toppings people. Had some weird power added which was not good at all. The chocolate cake was nice and rich. The only saving grace on the visit.

Bumped into it while trying to find an alternative to our usual Starbucks hangout spot. And what a good alternative! White Mocha was delicious. The prices are comparable to Starbucks. Their danish pastries and breads are tasty too.

Definitely a five star. I like koroyodong, Paris baguette and Canaan in flushing as far as Korean bakeries go but this spot… freshest and most creative breads and polite service.
Thir pastries are good– my favorite is this twist donut lighly powdered in something yellow.
But I send their breads in care packages that cross state lines people! They have a bread that’s unbelievable: top layer filled with red bean, bottom layer filled with green bean? And the whole thing is glued together with cream. Omg! Even my American grandmother was impressed!
And their sweet potato cake? Don’t buy it with the thought to share it. I’m a big proponent of sharing… I teach it for a living… But don’t share this. Really. Your friends can buy their own.

So I have an issue with Korean bakeries now. It’s like Chinese bakeries, but way more overpriced.
I love this location because whenever I go, they seem to have a large range of samples. All their pastries are super sweet, which I like. Their drinks are overpriced… so I’m like bleh about that. However, there isn’t much of a variety.
What I always do come here for are huge bags of square pieces of toasts which are slightly sweetened. They’re so yummy and they melt in your mouth when you eat them with a cup of hot coffee on a cold winter day.
I do like their curry, potato filled pastries too.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but the girls who work here always seem so edgy and ready to pounce on you dare you ever say anything wrong. Maybe it’s that Korean snide crap that goes on between Korean people but whatever, I don’t like it.
Oh, and I think you need like a minimum $ 10 or $ 15 dollar bill in order to use your credit card here. I forgot how much exactly, but there’s no way in hell i’m buying $ 10 worth of pastries in one sitting…

First, the décor is not its strength. Service is exceptional. Pretty service ladies are nice. They are not cheap but quality is super. I try to eat heathy, if you the same, this is your place. The taste is great. You can taste the quality and great stuff They puro in their product — organic, blueberry …

Nothing in the name hints at being a Korean bakery. Since I like trying new things, that wasn’t a problem. I had a couple of their baked goods, and it just didn’t strike me even with my eclectic taste. I only had a couple of different pastries, so maybe I didn’t have the really good ones or I just don’t have a great liking for Korean baked goods. Coffee was decent.

Someone kindly notified me that the pastries here are Korean (i’m an idiot: O). Still just as good as I described. :P

Good coffee, nice baristas.
If you like asian pastries (I think the ones here are mostly Chinese) such as red bean rolls. You can find them here.
Egg & Cheese on a croissant is a solid breakfast choice. Yum.

I was excited to see one of my favorite Korean cakes… whipped cream & fresh fruit. Hadn’t eaten one in years and was not disappointed. The only reason I didn’t give this place five stars is because I would like to see a wider variety of pastries. When I return, I’ll see if anything has changed, and if so, I will amend my review at that time. If you are sick of the average sickeningly-​sweet supermarket cake, and are looking for a tasty, unique birthday cake, I’d highly recommend purchasing from this Asian bakery.

Place is pretty good. Reminds me of red mango or pink berry, but better

Good selections of Asian pastries and after 7p they will give you a % off all pastries.
I had the bubble tea which was water down but it also seemed as if the person making the drink doesn’t know how to make bubble tea.
Pastries were good and I like they have chairs with tables so you can sit and relax.
