Lovely Korean bakery cafe in Annandale! They have lots of delicious baked goods and breads. My favorite thing to get here however is their bingsoo. Absolutely delicious!

Stopped by for a quick breakfast on a road trip. I ordered a large coffee and an egg and bacon sandwich. The food and coffee is made to order. The coffee was so good! The sandwich was seasoned well and the egg was soft and fluffy. The milk bread is sweet and melts in the mouth. I bought some treats for the road. The cakes are so soft, delicate, and airy. Unlike American cakes, they don’t feel heavy nor are they weighed down with icing. The staff was friendly and restocked or cleaned the public areas between customers. The store is clean and smells like a bakery.

Absolutely amazing bakery. Exterior might throw you off, but it’s interior experience is delightful. Ambiance is good and have enough seating space. Good selection of Korean bakery option. I liked how fresh everything is. You don’t have to worry about how long it lasts as it doesn’t have preservatives, you’ll finish it in no time. That’s just how good it is. I have seen majority of people taking bakery items home. Cheese & Egg, Bulgogi and Spicy pork are my favorites from the sandwich menu. Espresso is nice and so is Mango bowl and Strawberry Bing Soo (Snowflake). Abundant parking available in front. Will definitely recommend this place.

My friends and I tried out Manoa the other day and was pleasantly surprised! It’s a cute little bakery with great treats and drinks. We got the green tea bingsoo to share among 4 people, and it was excellent! We also picked up some of the different cookies and breads. All were great

This place is a cozy little bakery at the corner of a small shopping plaza that's a great place to hang out and/or study at. (It's usually not too loud even though they do have some chill music playing throughout the store) The baked goods here are great! Especially the strawberry cream breads because they are not too sweet and there isn't too much cream. The service was quick and fantastic.

Stop what you’re doing at check out this spot if you’re looking for delicious baked goods! Try the custard cream donut. So delicious they also have a bulgogi sandwich that I’ll try next. They had tons of seating with people connecting. It was a really nice setting!

Latte is creamy and smooth. The breakfast egg and turkey sandwich is from another planet. The sandwich was fresh and clean and full of flavor. The lettuce crispy and not old, the bread was obviously freshly baked and toasted to perfection. I've been back twice, and I have not been disappointed. If you're looking for good, clean, healthy sandwiches this is the place for you. The staff is always nice and the inside has plenty of seating to eat or do some work. Love this spot!
