Ye Wool Bakery

Ever since I’ve moved to Buena Park, I couldn’t seem to find a bakery I liked.
I’m not into fancy cakes that looks really pretty, over priced and taste bad I like cakes that looks cute and taste bomb! I’m happy that I’ve found this bakery. The cakes and the bread is really fresh after a day. Not greasy at all. I’ve noticed the breads has alot of filling comparing to Paris, Cake House and other Korean bakery’s. Love it~!! The owner is pretty nice. Another plus is, this bakery has a location inside Zion Market off of Beach in Buena Park. Happy customer ^^

I used to come here a lot when I lived in Cerritos. I didn’t appreciate this bakery until I moved out of the area. Paris Baguette and 85 degrees aren’t nearly as good as this small bakery. There was a place I think near Torrance that was even better than this place, but I can’t seem to find it :(It wasn’t a chain store and I don’t think it was Blue Windmill either.

I like to coming here. Price is resonable than Paris Bauquett and bread is super fresh taste. I used buy Koroke (fried bread) for my customer and they really liked it. this is a place for my bakery. I wanted to try for the cake but it was all gone. I called and asked for the cake and the lady told me she has it but when I arrived at store that all cake was gone. it was around 5:00 pm but it is still tell you that their product is good.

Great selection and great price. I got a fruit cake for sister ‘s birthday and it was amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try more flavors.

A little Korean bakery stepping up its game in La Palma! Nomnomnom… When I’m craving some Cream Pan, 85degrees or Paris Baguette but don’t feel like driving Ye Wool Bakery consistently does the job! So many tasty fresh breads to choose from! I walked out with a few of their peanut butter bread, it’s super tasty and not too sweet at all. Kinda bummed I really wanted to try the Koroke but they were all out by 9:20am!!! There were peeps lined up to pick up cake orders, note to self cakes appear to be popular.
The lady was very sweet and suggested a few other breads for me to try all ranging in price starting at $ 1.25-$ 2+… Who knows she might be the owner, in any case she offered to make more Koroke if I wanted to come back in an hour. How freaking awesome is that? I didn’t return same day because I was pretty set with my other choices. I will definitely be returning and plan to arrive early to get me some Koroke.
Unless you’re buying for the masses I suggest paying cash but they gladly accept credit cards too.
It’s a tiny shop and there is no seating available.
Service 5 Stars hands down, it’s like visiting your auntie for some fresh baked goods!
Breads: 5 Stars fresh!

The cream puffs are AMAZING! They are just right, and you get 2 decently sized cream puffs for just $ 1. Can’t beat that :)

Fresh bread!
I’ve only been here once with some people that were visiting from out of town. I can’t believe I’ve live around the corner from this place for years and never went in. For Shame on my part.
There is almost nothing better than fresh hot baked goods. We all know we should not have white flour but it’s so yummy and delicious I can’t help but indulge just a little.
Being that I love the Asian culture and foods this gives me my fix when I need it. The only bummer is that I can’t eat here everyday since I have to work for a living. Plus I don’t want to start looking like a loaf of bread. The best part of of going here is to go when they first open so you get the fresh hot bread.
Keep up the baking genius.

Wowww, Ye Wool has stepped up its game!
I always thought it was a neighborhood bakery that supplies the local Korean children’s sandwich bread but I recently had a cake from here and was surprised! Not only was it really pretty but it tasted amazing! Paris Baguette still has my business for their blueberry yogurt cake but if you’re looking for a coffee-​flavored cake, come here!
My cake came with a cocoa powder dust on top, three layers of cake with strawberry bits inside and almond bits outside. It was soooo gooooodddd, I may or may not have had a quarter slice in one sitting and regretted it at the gym later on… but it’s not Ye Wool’s fault for the cake being THAT GOOD!

I am addicted to the their Gombo (peanut butter) bread. I’ve had Gobmo bread at other Korean Bakeries, but they never stood out. But after I first had a Gombo bread here, I couldn’t get it out of my head. The top part of the bun is unbelievably crunchy and full of flavor – it just crumbles away as you eat it and it’s soft and chewy inside.
I also like getting their Gombo bread with red bean inside :9 The pastries here are also reasonably priced!

Maybe m biased Coz i can bake, but m a but disappointed with the texture of the bread n triangle single served mocha cake. It was dry n crumbly. The whole mocha roll had good spongy rise but again on dry side. This place does make excellent donuts… have to get them when fresh.
What they are excellent about is presentation of packaging. They invested in this.
The cream puffs over priced

Most people like Korean BBQ and I often wish that they would have the same feeling about Korean pastries. I’m not a huge carb person myself, but when I get the craving, this bakery is on the TOP of my list.
I used to purchase a box of 12 pastries for 10 bucks, but that was a while back when places like this could even afford to give you a steal like that. Now it’s about $ 1 to $ 1.50 per piece, which in my mind is still a great deal. I often take the treats to work and share with my co-​workers, kind of like how someone brings a box of donuts. But, the reaction I get is definitely a plus, since most people don’t know about these delectable desserts.
With any Korean bakery, the first thing I notice is whether they make their own bread and cakes. It’s a deal breaker on whether their stuff is fresh or not. This place consistently bakes and prepares their own stuff, as you can taste the freshness and quality in each item they sell. My favorite is the Koroke. It’s fried with the outer layer slightly crispy, with soft veggies, potato, and meat on the inside. When it’s warm, the sentiment is like a Krispy Kreme donut when the sign shows HOT DONUTS, but just not as sweet.
The Red Bean and Gombo (peanut butter bread) comes in 2ND and 3RD place, respectively. The Red Bean isn’t as sugary as you’d think it would be and the Gombo is slightly sweet with the right amount of softness and texture. I like having them both with milk for breakfast, so that I can start my day proper.
I haven’t tried their cakes, but my sister loves their rolls and she’s a hard one to please. I buy a loaf of bread here and there and when I do, I’m never disappointed. Open each day from 8AM to 9PM (with the exception of Sunday), my recommendation is to come in the morning when the pastries are really fresh or possibly call the day before to have your order ready, if you’re making a large purchase. Credit cards are most definitely welcome, in addtion to your appetite.

This bakery is awesome. Like many Korean bakeries, most selections are inexpensive and not too sweet. This is a welcome change from the $ 4 triple fudge cupcake stuffed with chocolate filling. Some of the breads have meat and vegetable fillings that can be a quick snack or a meal substitute for the (m)anorexic among us.
My favorite is the gombo bread. It has the right level of crunch and sweetness that I can’t seem to find anywhere else. So whenever I’m in town, I buy about 5 – 10 of these. (To the owners: yup, I’m THAT guy.)
To be honest, I had serious reservations about posting a positive review of this place because I wanted to keep this hidden gem to myself. I don’t want a bunch of you Unilocalers raiding this place forcing the owners to double their prices.

Their roll cakes are amazing! My friend bought a mocha/​green tea flavored roll cake which was really soft & had cream inside and it was amazing! Roll cakes from Yewool have different taste compared to other bakeries (has deeper & natural taste to it) I’ve been to!
Oh. i also tried their red bean pastry and it was really yummy too! The red bean wasn’t too sweet and it blended well with the bread. Their vegetable bread was also delicious & fulfilling (can substitute for a light breakfast/​lunch). Oh their cream filled bread is soft and it melts in your mouth!
It is a definitely a must try local place when you’re craving korean pastries & roll cakes! :) Oh those roll cakes can be a great present for friends & families! They’ll love it!

Nice bakery in a Korean centric shopping mall. My girlfriend and I hurried in to buy a last minute birthday cake for one of our other girlfriends and we were delighted with what we purchased here. I think it was the packaging and the presentation that most impressed us. The box she put the cake in transformed itself into a cute little package. We literally «awwwwed» when she made the cake box into a little carrying case. She included a large plastic chef’s style knife for us to cut the cake with and gave us cute candles to put on the cake. What awesome finishing touches.
The cake itself received delicious nods of approval from the party. It was a crème filled cake topped with fruit. Light, delicate and not too sweet.

One of my favorite Korean bakeries in the area (no I am not Korean, therefore this is no a biased review)
The honey castella is awesome. Just the right sweetness without being overwhelming and the crumb is so tender and soft. Also, it has just the right amount of moisture, which is pleasant when enjoying one.
I’ve had a lot of the cream-​filled breads (I’m not really sure of any of the names). They are generally sweet breads with some sort of whipped cream or cream cheese mixture.
The bread to all their pastries are always so tender, soft, and yeasty. LOVE LOVE LOVE what they have to offer.
OVERALL: They have another bakery inside of WOORI MARKET on Carmenita & 183^rd. Lucky for me because I live right there!
Like I always say, YOU WON’T KNOW UNLESS YOU TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!

I love this place! They don’t have a million selections like 85, but whatever they do have is terrific! All their breads are so so so soft, fluffy, and airy. It can get a little sweet (if you’re a pig like me and eat 5 of them in a row), so have them with tea or milk.
The cream puffs are good, but I like Manmi’s cream puffs better. Ye sells their cream puffs for 2 for $ 1, which I think is kind of expensive. Everything else is around $.80-​$ 1.25 each.

Trust me, best Korean bakery.
Everything is so fresh, made right here in the store. My favorites are the individually packaged assortments of korean buns, but cakes are also quite solid (& not made from a mix vs the other very popular Korean bakery). Actually, I would see the owner/​baker at Costco buying 100s of pounds of flour, haha! He’s such a sweetie.
The Korean buns are packaged in clear cellophane, price $ 1 – 1.25. Price has gone up from the good old $ 0.80 days, but hey! That’s 10 years ago, & tax is included! My favorites:
— GomBo (peanut topping) bun. I’ve tried it everywhere else, but this is as good (if not better) than my favorite bakery in the motherland. The peanut topping is like a peanut butter cookie, so good! And the bun is soft, chewy, and incredibly fresh
— AnGoh (red bean) bun. My mom loves this like no other. I prefer the white bean version.
— Sausage Corn cheese, it’s like a mini pizza! They actually use hot dog sausage, and I would say the best savory option
— Tapioca bun, round chewy bread speckled with black sesame seeds
— Butter bun, very similar to Rotiboy. Has the crisp buttery topping outside & smells so delish
— Piecrust twist, exactly what it is. Haha
— Corn bread, it’s much chewier than the American version. Doesn’t crumble apart at all
— ChapSsal (sweet rice) donut, price increased to 2 for $ 1. A must when they bring it out piping hot!
— Actually, give everything a try! They don’t use preservatives, so make sure you eat everything within 2 days. That’s honestly not tough to do. Haha
I’ve tried a couple cakes, all are a light chiffon. Sorry, not as «pretty» as Paris Baguette. They’re priced $ 20 and up. A great gift, or treat, would be the roll cakes. They got the basic flavors, plus green tea. I think priced $ 8.
The white loaf is great. The slices are a bit thicker, and has a faint flavoring of milk. My family often «upgrade» to the chestnut loaf. Same soft white bread with bits of yellow chestnut inside & topped with some cookie-​like topping and sliced almonds.
Enjoy~!!

This small bakery is in a nugget of a spot, hard to find for the untrained eye, but beyond worth when discovering. This place use to be packed when the Korean plaza was still popular. Now, as fewer people come to the desolate plaza, Ye Wool Bakery is still the one place that attracts customers far and wide.
FOOD: 5 stars
This place offers much better bread and baked goods than the bakeries you’ll find inside Korean markets. Their bread is always fresher because it’s their own store and the constant demand for it. They have breads that are savory (sausage bread, pizza bread, garlic bread) as well as sweet (butter cream bread, cream puffs, rusk). And I’ve come here for as long as I can remember, and I still feel happy eating their bread. They also have great cakes and jelly rolls, but it’s their selection of bread/​pastries that you want.
PRICING: 5 stars
This place is so cheap. Much cheaper than those same inside-​Korean-​markets-​bakeries I mentioned earlier. Much of their breads hover from $ 1.00 — $ 1.50. Also, no tax so what you see in price is how much you pay.
CONCLUSION:
Why are you reading this?! Go there now and get some damn good Korean bread! Also, bring me some!

I usually come here for the sweet butter sandwich. Its two slices of yummy, soft bread with sweet, airy butter in between. I recently discovered something delicious here… TAPIOCA BREAD. Its has a crusty outside and a soft chewy center. It also has assorted nuts and seeds. I detected walnuts and black sesame for sure.
They have a large variety of different breads, most priced at about $ 1 each, very reasonable.

This is one of many Korean bakeries around the area offering the usual fair of baked bread and assorted pastries. The quality of the goods are better than average and there is a fair variety. Definitely a place to go to pick up a delicious sweet snack, a beautiful cake, or your everyday bakery needs.
Sausage bread: it may not be pretty in the picture, but it beats the pants off a hotdog any day of the week and at $ 1, you can’t beat the price.
