I’ve been wanting to try the viral Dubai chocolate chewy cookie and was pleasantly surprised to find out I didn’t have to drive all the way to the city for it! They limit 2 per customer on weekends which I appreciate. It was soft and chewy on the outside but crunchy, nutty, and sweet on the inside. The other pastries looked amazing too but I didn’t get to try them. Wish there was more seating/cozier cafe ambiance. I will be back to try the madeleines!

I visited Gu eum Cake and Bakery on a Monday around 3:40 PM. It wasn't busy and the bakery case had a lot of options available. We tried the salted chocolate financier, hojicha black sesame brittle cake, and Korean latte. The financier and cake were both good, but I felt like the latte just tasted like a sweetened latte. I'm not sure what flavor they were going for.

However, the bakery is not dog friendly (clearly posted on their doors). We had our dog with us so we did not bring him inside. I asked the employee if we could use two stools they had in the bakery that were stacked in a corner so we could sit and eat our purchase outside. She told us no. Honestly I was a bit surprised by that.

I wanted to respect the rules of the establishment, but I thought as paying customers, they would try to accommodate our request. They did not have any other customers at the time so no one was using the stools. I know they don't have to accommodate my request, but I was a bit disappointed that they wouldn't let us use two stools to eat our purchase outside.

I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at Gu-eum again. I thought the food was good, but not extraordinarily special.

I ordered a custom birthday cake from them, and everything from the ordering process to the cake itself was outstanding! The sweet potato flavor was rich yet perfectly balanced—not overly sweet. The cake truly made our day extra special and memorable.

Good for trying something non Starbucks or the standard fare at cafes and coffee shops. I tried and liked Iced Dalgona Coffee.

I ordered the Lemon Curd Sponge Cake for my mother’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect. The cake was light, moist, and had just the right amount of sweetness with a refreshing lemon flavor. My mom loved it, and so did everyone else. The owner and staff were incredibly kind and professional throughout the process. The store has a beautiful interior - elegant, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It made the whole experience feel even more special. Highly recommend this place for quality of their cakes and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back for future celebrations.

A tiny local bakery with only a few options. Limited sitting for a bakery. However, the Madeline cakes were moist and delicious.

Quite expensive, considering the items are only moderately good, $10-$12 for a cake slice They do have different variety of cakes that are not too sweet and would serve as a great dessert post any meal. Hojicha cake is good.

Their cakes are absolutely delicious—soft, moist, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The selection of cakes includes the traditional Korean cakes that you can only find them in Korean bakery!

The cakes come in well designed boxes, which makes them perfect for gifts or special occasions.

One thing to note: they sell out fast! When I visited, there was no more tiramisu or sweet potato cake left. So if you have a specific cake in mind, make sure to go early!

This was my second time ordering and I had to change my pickup schedule twice unintentionally.
But I was so grateful that they kindly changed my schedule.
I thinking ordered rice cake but it was my mistake. The Black Sesame Gateaux I ordered this time was a bit too sweet, so I was a little disappointed that the customers couldn't finish their plates.
I'll try it again next time.
I took off a star for the food because my expectations were too high. But the other breads are very delicious. I recommend it! It's a pity that I couldn't take a picture.
