Kim's Bakery is a breath of fresh air, considering we didn't even know about it! We were on the way to Kim Cheese and my wife saw the sign, so we decided to stop by after lunch. Stopping by was the best decision that we made. So much that we now have a new, closer bakery to get our fix!
The business cards for Kim's Bakery stated that they have quality and are fresh. They were not lying! Their swiss rolls were soft and fluffy; their 'hot-dog bun' cream-filled rolls were very soft. The sponge cake was also very fresh. I don't know how to otherwise describe it. You must experience it for yourself. For those that are wondering what is the difference between a Korean bakery and, let's say, a Chinese bakery, there really isn't much of a difference. A quick browse revealed that many of our favorites were here, i.e. swiss rolls, butter cream rolls, cookies, winter melon cookies.
This location really shines in its presentation of their items. I didn't get a chance to get pictures the first time, as I was floored at how something this nice is tucked away somewhere unassuming. Cute wooden baskets are available for holding your bakery items while browsing. Nice glass display for specialty items such as cheesecake and what looks like chocolate bon-bons. I will take pictures the next time around!
The only thing that I didn't see off hand were beverages. Maxim Gold and hot water would go a long way in a place like this!
The best aspect of this place is that they accept cards! That, in and of itself, will make me a new regular at Kim's! Thank you so much for such great service! We'll be back soon!
