What’s Your Favorite Korean Bakery?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
KOREAN BAKERIES: Delightful, delicious, delovely!

Today’s dining review explores a funky, fun spot in Duluth called Honey Pig, specializing in Korean samgyeopsal jip — pork belly barbecue. The restaurant owners claim it’s not a franchise, but it bears remarkable resemblance to several restaurants (one with the same name) in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.
The Korean community has built a reputation for some of the best dining in the area — from tofu soup houses to barbecue (galbi) to the exquisite bakeries that have popped up across Gwinnett County.
One of the best is Bakery Cafe Maum, which has opened a new location on Steve Reynold’s Blvd. in Duluth. Korean bakeries delight in the art of French pastries and cakes with a Japanese influence, but often use rice flour in addition to wheat flour, which makes the crumb of cakes and breads super fine and delectable, but seemingly refined compared to hearth breads. Others I love: Mozart Bakery, newly minted Shilla Bakery & Cafe in Duluth (next to Honey Pig) and White Windmill Bakery on Buford Highway.
