White Windmill Bakery and Cafe

What a great little place! Terrific coffee, incredibly friendly people - and even a few Gluten free pastries! The GF Apple Scone (which was enough for two people or two servings) was soft and fresh with perfect apple pieces baked in, and all of the other pastries are absolutely beautiful! I’ll definitely make this a regular stop on my trips to Doraville!

Our group got a bunch of stuff to share. It's hard to find good gluten free baked goods, they did good with their gluten free brownie! I also got the taro bubble tea with tapioca pearls. The atmosphere was great. Lots of pastries to choose from.

For some reason, I was hoping the bakery to be an elevated version of Sweet Hut, but I find Sweet Hut as well as the Asian 7/11s to have better, or at least fresher variety. My boyfriend got the mango bingsu, which was the best thing I tried. Generous portion of quality mango. However, we collectively tried: -half moon cake: cake was crumbly and dry/likely a day+ old, not enough filling, could benefit from fruit in the filling or something else moist -walnut chocolate chip cookie: also dry, needed salt -gluten free brownie: I got this because it was one of the few chocolate options remaining. I'm very curious as the ingredients mentioned no flour or alternative - just butter, sugar, egg. Brownie was dry and crumbly and also needed salt. Don't think the recipe is any good here. Coffee was good, but nothing I can't get anywhere else. I don't know why I had it in my head that this would be an elevated Sweet Hut but it actually feels more like a downgrade. Would only return for bingsu (maybe) Only 1/3 of the pastry baskets had items in them, and of those, a lot were running low. It doesn't make sense to me since the pastries tasted old and seems like you would have days of supply ready to go, especially with 3 hours left to close. If anyone sees this and can recommend The Ultimate™️ Korean Bakery, please let me know!
