L’Epidor Bakery

I noticed that they had a mocha bun, so I had to try it since I’m on the hunt to find a mocha bun similar to the ones PappaRoti sells. Unfortunately, it didn’t taste the same:
Mocha Bun — bread was too dry for me & mocha was too subtle.
Melon Bun — I surprisingly liked this! At first I didn’t want to get it since I wasn’t sure how a «Melon bun» would taste. The bread was moist & soft, and It didn’t taste like melon at all & tasted more like a milk cream bun. That could be a bad thing for others, but for me, it was delicious. I could use more of the sugar cream they put on top of the bun though.
They also sell 1 day old pastries for Buy 1 Get 1 Free. They still taste delicious & close enough to being fresh!

Tucked away amidst one of the larger complexes along the Western portion of Spring Mountain it was early Saturday morning that a stop was made at L’Epidor Bakery and although several items were coming forth warm from the kitchen as I perused the options results were only fair-​to-​middling, the prices slightly higher than those at Diamond or Sunville as well.
Smaller than other Asian pastry shops in town, but similarly staffed by clerks whose English is barely enough to answer the most basic of questions, shelves were unfortunately a bit less well-​stocked than would have been ideal during the early morning hours but managing to craft an order just under $ 20 the first bites were of miniature cornbreads, the flavor not dissimilar to the American iteration though texture was a bit bit more spongy, an almost ‘gluten-​free’ sort of density seeing the majority of the bag discarded later that morning.
Moving next to a pair of items not seen elsewhere in Sin City, nor anywhere else on limited sampling around the United States, the soft Chestnut Roll was a delightful bit of sweetness dotted by tender smoky nuts while the Napoleon wrapped in starchy white bread seemed almost ridiculous in execution, the exterior no different from Wonder or Bunny while the interior fared far better, the lightness of the puff pastry reminiscent of phyllo while the cream was light and only modestly sweet.
Showing well with more traditional items such as the Egg Custard and Red Bean Buns, the latter potentially to have benefited from a touch more filling, it was onward to a cream-​packed donut that the tasting marched forward, the exterior a bit oily beneath the granulated sugar though the interior was light and fluffy — a descriptor I only wish would have been applicable to the «Asian Poundcake» which instead presented like a wispy mouth sponge virtually inedible without some sort of beverage and as such left to the birds.
Hit and Miss compared to others, the high points quite impressive while lows were abysmal, L’Epidor is a spot that likely requires a return visit when shelves are better stocked in order to better assess the overall quality of execution, though a first look indicates there are certainly better Asian Bakeries to be found.

I really used to like this place. However, each time I go there, less and less. The croquettes aren’t as good as it use to be. The «service» isn’t as good as before. The breads are «eh». I use to go specifically to this bakery for my Korean bakeries. Now, not worth it.

KOREAN BAKERY IN A MARKET
Can you really expect much… ahahha especially when there isn’t very much competition in this market when it come to only comparing to the specific group of Korean bakeries in Vegas… of course if it we’re to be compared to Cali then this would be a 1 star review…
always end up getting the same stuff here & one of each at that…
She always give a complimentary piece of baked goods but never a fan ahahaha

There are only three wonderful things in life. Finding money. Sleeping with a hot woman. and $ 2 boba tea.
Your chances of getting all three of these are very high at L’Epidor Bakery, although I’ve not found money there yet.

The bakery here is ehh… But the worst part is the what it seems like the owner. I’ve never experienced ever before the owner didn’t say a word while paying for the pastry. When she rang up the total, she just looked at the register monitor for me to look at and took my card. And after that she silently gave me my receipt and that’s that. If you are gonna own a business, learn how to give a customer service! idiot…

The location is awesome but hmmmm its alright. Not really exciting about their bread…

Looks good and tastes good when fresh. But on two separate occasions we have walked out with moldy pastries. Black and gray mold in-​between the cream filling and bread. Disgusting. I have lost faith. The owners need to make sure they rotate the product– donate to ThreeSquare if it doesn’t sell. But don’t leave old product on the shelf. I guess they deserve one star as it is good when it’s fresh.

I love this little bakery I always go crazy in here because I want to buy almost everything. Come check it out if you like pan (bread) sweet pan with sweet beans (azuki) they also have other stuff there are two locations one in the Greenland market and one next door happy Unilocaling. From your fellow Unilocalie. Xoxo

Holy freaking cow. I love this place. I’m not a Nevada native so perhaps my review will be somewhat over zealous. However, I’m going to talk about this place in a positive light regardless. No other bakery beats this place. They always satisfy my sweet tooth!
I was introduced to this place by my grand auntie. She brought home a bread that has red bean and whip cream in the middle. It’s pretty big –like the sizeof my head, if not bigger. Maybe two heads. The quality of their bread is just heaven. Never any different the two times in a year that I can eat it. I can’t wait to visit this place in person. I’ll be buying 10 years worth of food stock. Hahahaha
(I am sad that this place is underrated. Open one in California please! I’ll be your number one fan!)

I always enjoy stopping by this kiosk on my way out of Greenland Supermarket. They have great breads and pastries. My favorite is their sugar round donut because when you bite into it there’s a layer of custard! Yum!

Not sure why everyone is saying this isn’t a bakery. Look at the map and you’ll see they’re not talking about the right place. They’re all talking about the TINY SATELLITE BAKERY SHOP inside of GREENLAND MARKET/​Grocery store. ++++NOT++++ the original and FULL SIZE Bakery where you can sit and also have a coffee at one of the tables. They are both on spring mountain. Maybe that’s the issue.
Everything inside the tiny satellite shoplet is made at the BIG bakery. The smaller shoplet inside of the grocery store is just handy because it saves on gas. So you don’t have to drive down the street. You can do it all in one place. ALTHOUGH the selection is not as large at the korean market. Their best sellers are there however.
I love the «red bean mammoth». I’ve never been much for anything red bean but I really love this and so does my picky son.
The mocha bun. Wow… it doesn’t even need a filling. Nice and light.
(** Downgraded to 4 stars from 5 because the swiss vanilla cream roll is on the dry side. I got home and had a slice… it’s not a moist cake. I’ve had these moist and light. This is not.) Also give, the swiss rolls a try. Those are always good. You can get the slices or the whole roll. They will be located in different areas. The slices are on the floor with the other items. The unsliced full size swiss rolls are in the cold case with the other cakes.
The cream puffs are great.
I’m still working through their stuff because it’s all so foreign to me, but I pick up a new thing each week. If you’re a korean bakery virgin then I suggest trying the above tried and true items.
–a quick tip: if you flip a piece over, there is often a label explaining what something is in english. HOWEVER… be aware anything that says «pizza» is NOT pizza. I don’t know why they use that word. Often if it’s savoury, it’s using hot dogs. It’s an acquired taste if you’re used to hot dogs in a bun the american way. Also, savoury items often also have pickles and/​or mayo in them. Also… an acquired taste. I tend to stick to the sweet things and then pick up 1 savoury item every week to learn what I do and don’t like.

If you’re at the original bakery (the big one), there is a great vietnamese restaurant right behind them and some great shops below if you take the elevator down. Make an afternoon of it!

L’Epidor Bakery isn’t a bakery, but a sectioned off area within Greenland Supermarket that’s dedicated to selling an array of pastries and sweets.
+ Mocha Roll: From my previous visit, I noticed only individual slices were being sold. I bought a slice for my ma – big mocha roll fan — which cost $ 1.62. If you love mocha rolls, then you might enjoy this. Personally, I’m not a fan, but one taste of it gave me a little wake up call. The mocha flavor is surprisingly bold and the overall cake isn’t sweet. In addition, its texture is thicker than the rolls at Red Ribbon, Valerio’s, and Goldilocks bakeries, which I think when sliced up individually are much more delicate than L’Epidor’s.
+Service: Not the best. The woman at the counter didn’t greet me, and I don’t even think she looked at me.
+Overall: If anything I’ll return for mocha slices and maybe to try their bag of cherry flavored cookies, but service here is such a turn-​off that I won’t be returning here anytime soon.

Um. two words can describe this place… disgusting and repulsive.
I came here with high expectations! But i was disappointed.
I bought a custard filled bread… Horrible. the bread was hard and just tasted old and way overdue… and their pat bing soo? Was so so. but i felt like they tried copying at the one at tiffany coffee shop (the best in town)

Made my first trip to Greenland Supermarket after getting my car fixed up on a chilly Sunday morning. So glad I parked in front of this humble little Asian bakery since the delicious smell of fresh baked goods drew me in like an Adkins moth to a carbohydrate flame.
After browsing around at their varied selections of sweet and savory pastries and cookies, I decided on the red bean doughnut and the young lady behind the cashier proudly stated their best item was the mocha buns so I had no choice but throw in one of those. She was absolutely correct as I bit into the mocha bun on my way into the supermarket. The top of the mocha bun has a thin crispy layer of caramelized coffee-​flavored sugar and the bread component underneath has the consistency of hawaiian bread with perhaps the butteriness of a croissant. Add in the fact that I was enjoying this delightful creation perhaps a few minutes after it was freshly baked out of the oven since the transparent wrapper still had some remnants of steam, it was like biting into a warm coffee crème brûlée, only transformed into pastry form!
Unfortunately for the red bean doughnut, it was saved for breakfast the next day and while I’m not the biggest fan of red bean (still recovering from the post-​traumatic stress disorder my mom induced on me by claiming red bean paste was just «Chinese chocolate» when I was a kid), I was hoping the doughnut component had a more mochi-​like consistency but it ended up being fairly typical so I’m wondering if that was due to the reheating in the microwave.
My advice is to arrive in the morning and pick out a few samples to enjoy directly on the premises or to hold your pastry in one hand as the other picks out groceries next door. Even though they offer their items in Greenland next door, nothing beats biting into a warm pastry straight out of the oven, and the mocha bun is definitely a great way to start your day.

So far I have only visited their kiosk in the Greenland Supermarket. The very first time I scored some madeleines, a slice of Swiss roll cake, a half loaf of white Pullman bread and some sort of coffee bun that was a spur of the moment buy when the cashier gave me a sample. The madeleines were adequate, they were a bit dry, but still very buttery. The cake was also a bit dry and I would have like more cream filling. However, the coffee bun was divine. This is what will get me up in the morning. It’s got the sweetness a Hawaiian roll but there is this wonderful coffee glaze all over the top. Heaven. The Pullman bread is what every french toast/​sandwich/​toast with jam should be, in my world.
I ended up dreaming about the coffee buns so I had to go back three days later. This time also picked up a custard bun (Yum!) and this cheese walnut bread that I also had a sample of the first time. I have yet to try anything filled with red beans, but some of the selections looked very good. I can only imagine the sugar coma I will go into when I actually visit their store.

I love going here for their pastries! I usually go here after eating @ Honey Pig which is next door (a good place to eat for lunch & dinner which is all u can eat & also they are open 24 hours!) My Favs are custard pastries & the cookies! Great service!

So the last time I was here in November ’10, I had the most amazing butter cookies here.
Flash-​forward: Last weekend, I was in-​town again doing the drunken-​blur and eat-​til-​you-​faint thing again. After lunch at Honey Pig, the mister and I stopped by. I only bought $ 20-​something worth of goods here — I had butter cookies, cherry cookies, corn cookies, and one custard-​filled doughnut.
Although after that Jabbawockeez concert and a puzzling walk from Monte Carlo to The Cosmopolitan, I forgot I had the doughnut still in my purse and nearly lost it outside Jet at The Mirage. Eeks? I was saved though by my sober friend and since it was still in it’s package, I ate it. And oh. my. gawd! It was yummy!
A day later, I find myself back in this shop. It’s the same guy and girl from last time, mind you. I think the guy recognized me because he tossed some freebies into my almost-​$ 30 bag of custard doughnuts, red bean doughnuts, pizza bread, garlic bread, etc. Oh, try the garlic bread. It’s divine!
I’m pretty sure I’ll find myself back in this cozy bakery in November. I’m hooked for life.

The location of L’Epidor is wonderful: next to my favorite Phở place and Vietnamese supermarket. First impression was well-​made because of the fragrant coffee scent filling the air. There were also a group of Korean men sitting inside, drinking coffee, and eating desserts; all adding to the warmth and liveliness of the bakery. The selection was not tremendous, but this can go either way. All I decided to try was pastries, although their desserts on display looked very delicious as well.
L’Epidor was the first Asian bakery in Vegas (in my experience) to have Whole Red Bean Bun. My curiosity was coursing my veins about this, and luckily I was not disappointed. The quality of the roll was fresh, buttered to a perfect amount, and the red bean paste inside had yummy whole red beans. I am a devoted fan of different textures to keep the zen in the palette of a food; and the crunchiness of whole beans completely elevated this traditional favorite to the next level. I am definitely a believer in WBB (whole bean buns) now.
The egg custard bun was also very tasty. Most egg custard buns I’ve had carry too much sweetness to compensate for an inconsistent creaminess, but not L’Epidor. The chestnut roll was all right. It didn’t shine in my culinary memory, but wasn’t an experience I regretted.
I spent a total amount of less than $ 5 for the three pastries; for me, three breakfasts that were exotic, unique, and absolutely fantastic. L’Epidor: until we meet again, mon ami!

Located inside Green Land in the Korea Town on Spring Valley. It has lots of nice treats for you all. It’s a small stand and a lot of flavor so that is why it is somewhat expensive, but the taste is real good. Those cookies are so good, I don’t know about you guys but I like eating all my cookies with milk. You can really taste the cherry in them. I also bought this banana bread, that was also good, but I believe the banana taste was artificial. I think this place should have a stand outside so it can reel more people in.
