Shilla Bakery Cafe - Ellicott City

I recently had a delightful experience at this restaurant. I tried the carrot cake and cream puffs, both of which were absolutely delicious! They also offered a nice variety of sandwich options and some intriguing baked goods.

I've always been a fan of her cakes—they're consistently fresh and have the perfect amount of sweetness.

I ordered a cappuccino, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The coffee had a burnt and artificial flavor. It seems like the barista may not know how to properly extract a good shot of espresso. I wouldn't recommend getting coffee here.

My latte tasted like fake sugar, my cookies were hard like a stone. A biscuit filled with beans had about 5 ingredients listed on a shield in the branch, but the packaging at least 20. I forgot a few articles in my pantry and they are still soft and not cumsy 7 days later. Full of preservatives. I didn't get a single product worth it.

Today we bought a mocha coffee cake, and it did not taste fresh. The outer cake cream is as same as used with others bread cream stuffing. It was not the softer cake cream we used to eat. When we took a look at the top of the cake, and we saw there has a crack on top of cream. That means this cake was freezing a long time ago and not fresh..Kind of disappointed about the outer of the cream.
