Yoon’s Bakery

So happy this bakery is in my neighborhood now. This was my first visit but the experience was wonderful. The shop smelled delicious, nice music was playing, the staff was friendly and helpful… And the baked goods were delicious. Can’t wait for my next trip to try some more.

Yummy! I love this bakery! The pastry’s are out of this world. I will be going back real soon.

Finally, I found a good Korean bakery here in Ann Arbor! I have always missed Korean style bread since I moved here. Strongly recommend!

This is a delicious bakery. Upon entering I was greeted by the cute owner who lead me through the different pastries and treats available. She provided me with an assortment of must try pastries. I must say they were delicious and interesting to see black/​red beans puréed into a sweet cream like paste in these pastries. I enjoyed the pastries but my favorite to recommend would be the egg tart– not overly sweet with a delicate egg flavor that balances out with the crisp crust. Definitely stop by
Happy eatings!

I was so excited to hear about the arrival of an Asian bakery in the area again! So I made it a point to swing by to show my support, only to be met with a rather cold and unwelcoming lady manning the counter. Prices were STEEP. Perhaps prices look especially magnified next to the $ 0.85 — $ 1.25/bun standards in Chicago, but I feel like they are even more expensive than Pastry House hippo out in Novi, and that’s typically my upper limit for Asian pastries.
Let’s be real here, there’s no way that one bun took even close to $ 3 to make. Plus, they are always nice at Pastry House hippo. The actual taste of the buns and cakes were pretty good, hence the rating. And perhaps the lady was having a bad day, so I wouldn’t pin my entire review on that aspect alone, but prices make it pretty prohibitive for return business from this customer.

Great new Korean bakery that fills a void ever since Eastern Accents closed. I visited the first week it opened and the majority of the items were sold out, but the ones that they did have were still excellent (cream pastries, red and white bean buns). The bread itself is light (just a little too buttery in my opinion but I think most would love it), while the inside filling portions are heavy, rich and sweet.
The only other asian bakery I know of in this area is Pastry House Hippo in Novi, and I would say that the quality of Yoon’s is on par with Pastry House Hippo, although the buns I tried were more dense in terms of their fillings.
I’d recommend getting there early to check out their entire selection!

If you have never tried Korean breads, you should. They have many different flavors filled with almond cream or mocha cream or red bean paste for example. Korean cakes are also very delicious. The women who were working when I went were super nice and can answer any questions that you might have.

YES YES YES! Oh my goodness, I can’t believe I didn’t start going to Yoon’s Bakery religiously since it’s opening day because I’m absolutely obsessed with their pastries. Let me backtrack a little bit before I get too excited…
This little bakery shop opened about a month ago right next to the North Campus Chinese Market. I had been anticipating its opening since the sign went up last winter, and thank goodness it opened before I graduated. It’s a pretty small space and it doesn’t seem like they’ve fully utilized their space yet, but I’m sure that’ll come once they start getting more consistent business. The décor is simple and modern, and reminds me a little bit of a toned down version of Tous Les Jours.
On to the pastries… I would go as far as saying that their bakery items taste better than the ones from Pastry House Hippo (though admittedly, the price is definitely much steeper). The bread is always so fresh, and their cream fillings always have the right amount of sugar. We asked the owner what she would suggest, and she said «croquette! If you buy one, I’ll give you another for free!» What?! So nice! And the taste was phenomenal… this is practically my every day lunch food now.
I really hope they’ll do a bit more with publicity because they deserve it! Great décor, great service, great food!

Good to see new places opening up in Ann Arbor area… stopped by to check it out, walked out with goodies and spent $ 30.
I went around 11 am on a Sunday… as you walk in you are in bread heaven… the smell… they are freshly made on the spot and I saw the employees packing the new batch in the back counter.
I walked around few times before getting a tray to get my stuff… So far, my favorite is the sweet potato stuffed bread and custard… I also tried their almond cream — not fan.
I’m sure this place will grow on me as I stop by often. Parking is easy, go early in the morning if you can, when the new batches come out.

Just had the most delicious red beans paste and cream bun! Everything is made fresh in the store and smells amazing.

Big fan of the little snacks here. The deep fried breads with the various fillings are awesome. Reminds me of the many bakeries in Chinatown/​Koreatown. The selection is currently fairly limited as they’re getting on their feet, but I expect there’ll be more variety soon. They’re currently hiring a barista so I would assume they’re going to serve coffee and other drinks as well. Looking forward to going back and trying some drinks.

Ever since Eastern Accents closed downtown there has been a hole in Ann Arbor when it comes to Asian baked goods. With the opening of Yoon’s Bakery I can happily report that this hole has been filled.
Upon walking into the bakery we were greeted by a very kind lady that gave us a tour of all the baked goods they make. The passion and excitement that exuded from her was very infectious. These pastries were a work of art. You can tell that each one was created with car. Some typical Asian baked goods they have are custard rolls, red/​green bean paste rolls, and fresh out of the oven egg tarts. We settled for a custard roll, green bean roll, and a pastry completely unique to Yoon’s (Mr. Yoon’s Special Pastry). This pastry is a hall of fame, sample it all pastry where there is a layer of green bean paste, red bean paste, and cream. The combination is like nothing I’ve had and oh so good.
On our way out we noticed some baguettes fresh from the oven. They were topped with butter and cream. The look and smell these gave off was heavenly, but alas we did not get one. For next time!
For several years now we have wanted a local Asian bakery here in Ann Arbor and are pleased that one as unique and delicious as Yoon’s has opened up. If you are craving Asian baked goods, this is the stop you have to make.

If you have ever been to a Paris Baguette, think of Yoon’s Bakery as a smaller but similarly delicious Asian Bakery. Unlike Chinatown bakeries with $ 1 or less pastries, Yoon’s Bakery offers a variety of savory and sweet pastries ranging between $ 2-​$ 6. If going just for a snack, definitely bring cash as they have a $ 10 credit card minimum (but they do accept Apple Pay!).
I tried their versions of the classic red bean and white bean buns ($ 2 each). They were generously filled and they tasted very fresh. The white bean is very sweet and the red bean is moderate. I also bought a Medium Cream cake (~$ 29) and was not disappointed with the moistness and sweetness of the cake. The owners even offered to replace the top fruit decorations with fresh ones!
I’m excited to see how much Yoon’s Bakery will grow as they hire more staff and expand their menu (I can’t wait to try their drinks!). For those who have never been to a Paris Baguette, the prices might take some getting used to — but overall, a very friendly family-​run bakery that is blessing Ann Arbor with delicious Asian influenced pastries!

Wow. Just wow. I am extremely impressed with Yoon’s Bakery. I was shopping by the nearby market when I noticed that this was open. I walked in and was greeted by the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries, always a good sign. I decided to go with the red bean bun since it’s always a favorite of mine. I was blown away by the quality of the bun. The red bean paste was not overpowering compared to most store-​bought buns and it was not overly sweet. I can safely say that Yoon’s Bakery is a great addition to the Plymouth Mall and I will definitely be back to try more of Mr. Yoon’s breads.
