JUNO Bakery & Cafe

Disappointing Experience After Years of Loyalty I’ve been a long-time customer of Juno Bakery, and this review genuinely pains me to write. On 1/12/26, My wife placed an order for a Chocolate Mousse cake, size #3, for my son’s birthday, with pickup scheduled for 1/16/26. On 1/15/26, my wife called the bakery simply to ask if an earlier pickup was possible. The staff confirmed that it was—with no mention of any issue or change to the order. On the day of pickup, we were suddenly told that size #3 was not available and that we would instead be given a size #2 and a size #1 cake. To make matters worse, only one cake could have my son’s name written on it—the other could not. There was no apology, no acknowledgment that we should have been informed earlier, and no accountability. The attitude was extremely nonchalant and uninterested, as if this was perfectly acceptable. It felt like ordering a specific car model and being handed two smaller cars instead, with missing features, and being told, “It still adds up to what you paid for.” That’s not how expectations or customer trust work. What’s especially disappointing is that we’ve been very loyal customers. Even as the quality of some pastries declined over time, we continued to return for what Juno has always done well—their chocolate mousse cakes and tiramisu. Over the years, we’ve ordered all birthday cakes for our son and daughter, and nearly every family celebration cake has come from Juno. Unfortunately, the drop in service quality and rise in attitude is now impossible to ignore. With the pressure of a new downtown location and competition like Tous Les Jours opening right next door, it seems the bakery is struggling—and customers are paying the price. Loyal customers deserve transparency, respect, and basic professionalism. This experience has seriously shaken our trust, and sadly, it may be the one that finally makes us switch bakeries.

I absolutely love this place The employees are very nice and it’s well organized and clean there’s seating inside personally I feel like the price is pretty fair I was reluctant to go here at first because I read some reviews that said it was pricey however, when I went, it was pretty much the same price as all the other places I’ve gone to

This place is definitely more of a bakery place more than anything. I would skip their drinks, but they have such a good variety of Korean bakery goods, including cream buns, hot dog buns, and fried curry balls. Some of them come hot but most of them come prepackaged. So many pretty cake, as well as good ole standard slices like carrot cake. The mango madness is way too sweet--almost artificially sweet, and I have also overheard the same sentiment from other patrons. Good amount of seating and a large open space.

This place is adorable and so unique. Korean bakeries are not common in Pennsylvania. This was well worth the drive. We got several other items to take home including a red bean donut (my husband loved this), roll cakes, pokemon macarons and some cream puffs. Will definitely be back to try some other things as well ^_^

There food is amazing. The Korean baked goods are delicious enough to come in daily. I’m making it a point to come in weekly to try all I can. It’s a taste and deliciousness I’ve never had. The only downfall are the drinks. There not horrible, but they’re not the best. Please come here for the baked goods! 🤤

Tried this bakery for the first time today. The items there were very unique and not what you’d find a your average bakery. We got these cute macaroon’s. We also got some fruit rolls, and a piece of cake. The cake wasn’t like your average piece of cake. It wasn’t as sweet and was very light and fluffy. When checking out, the nice worker gave us a free piece of cake. They also had drinks that looked delicious, but we didn’t try any. They had boba drinks, lemonade, and coffee. I’d suggest trying this place if you’re in the area.

Juno bakery is a really nice simple bakery with lots of different options. It’s inside H mart, in the first party of the food court so it’s easy to get to. It’s really cool because you can try things you’re not used to like things with red bean paste or other Korean items. Milk bread was very nice - we toasted it and used it for sandwhiches and it was lovely. The favorite is the beef sausage pastry, it’s a beef sausage with cheese wrapped in pastry. It works so well together and melts in your mouth. They also have a similar one with cut up sausage, cheese, corn with ketchup and a mayo white sauce (not exactly sure what it is). Like a mini pizza it’s great! Another star is the fried dough with stuffing - they have curry, vegetable or kimchi. All three are super good - but definitely a once in a while treat, it’s very greasy. The outside is fried and inside is soft with the delicious savory stuffings. The people who work there are also very kind and help answer any questions. They sometimes give samples of some items which makes you able to try even more! Helps you choose for next time! One thing that wasn’t the best was cheesecake. It was like 8$ for a small slice and it was nothing special. Would not get that again.

this is definitely one of the best bakeries i’ve been to in the dmv! it’s sooo perfectt everything is so cutie!!! and looks absolutely delicious and IS DELICIOUS omg. there’s so much variety and selection and again everything looks amazing! i do agree it can be a bit pricey but if you can afford it i highly recommend spending the extra bucks here instead of getting some nasty gross frozen acid tasting ahh cakes you get in other grocery stores. this place is 1000000%+++ worth it for the quality, care, aesthetics and FLAVORS! their cakes are SO pretty there’s something for everyone and every occasion! perfect cakes and sweets/snacks for gifts SO WORTH it. if u hv a mom doesn’t eat sweets no matter what it is BRING HER HERE!!!! (got the “not too sweet it’s perfect” approval w the mango mousse cake😽) ALSO idk what everyone is talking ab w the boba prices $8 i get it it’s a bit pricey however its pretty reasonable considering u cant get a decent drink from KFT w/o spending $7-8 plus this place is a local small business(?)

I have long enjoyed the baked goods at Juno Bakery in H Mart, so I was excited to finally visit the location in Downtown Frederick. It's spacious, warm and inviting. There's a kiosk right outside the interior glass doors if you want to purchase a drink before you peruse the baked goods. Inside the store, Juno Bakery has a myriad of sweet and savory baked goods to enjoy. I already have my favorites, but it's nice to try something new every once in a while. The staff are nice and work efficiently, and there is a good amount of seating. I will definitely return to this delightful bakery in future!

Frederick, MD, is adorable. A beautiful canal, lovely shops, so fun. This little stop for coffee was a find! I ordered their dirty chai. It hit the spot! Someone actually walked off with my first one at the counter but they were quick to make it right. Stop by for a pastry too. Look how adorable!

Originally when I was browsing bakeries and pastry shops in the area, the listing said coming soon, but as I was milling about on Market after getting some fragrant teas from Voila! I saw people coming out of here! I didn't hesitate, I skipped right on across the street to see what I could see. The cutest Korean bakery! The same bakery you know and love from H Mart now has a stand alone location in the heart of downtown Frederick. I took a spin around, snapped some photos and then grab a tray to load up with goodies. I love that its self-serve. You can always get the one you want without the awkward and mostly ineffective pointing and direction giving from behind the glass lol. I picked up a nice mix or sweet and savories. I think my favorite was the spicy jalapeño ham & bacon roll. It was soft, spicy, salty, and just the right amount of sweet from the dough. You can order finer pastries, coffee, and boba tea from the counter and eat in or take it to go. I'll be coming here every time I'm in town for sure!

The food was amazing. I got a birthday cake that was adorable! The Thai boba I got wasn't that good. It's my favorite drink and didn't taste right. But I'm going to try another flavor next time. I love this place! Staff were very nice and patient with everyone and it was a relaxed atmosphere

We were driving through Fredrick on our way home & came across this cute cafe! I was originally looking for something else but when I saw this I had to check it out. It turns out it was a Korean bakery & cafe which was unexpected for the area. We got the salt bread & egg tart which were both great! They also included an extra small pastry as a bonus which was nice. As for the teas, they were on the sweeter side so I wasn't the biggest fan. I wish we could adjust the sweetness and the boba was ok, it hardened up pretty quickly. I'd return for thr pastries but not the boba.

Juno has a variety of baked good/cakes to choose from in their display cases. All items had a very nice presentation and looked delicious. Unfortunately, the taste did not match the visual aspect. The cake slices we sampled along with the cookies were ok, but sort of bland/not very sweet. Maybe this is the style of baking they do, but it was not what we were looking for that evening. Service was great! Very friendly and professional.

They are perfection! It is a Korean bakery but reminds me of the little cakes I used to get in Fussa, Japan. My whole family love's the cakes here and yes they can be on the expensive but worth every single cent!!! We have been getting our cakes here for years now. My daughter asked for a shark theme and the baker was very accommodating and creative. Thank you Juno!!!!!

I come here regularly and they always appear to be shortstaffed. People either waiting to pay for their selections or waiting for their coffee orders. They could so much better.

I love Juno bakery because their stuff isn't too sweet but still enough to satisfy your sweet too to cravings. Their boba teas are good too. Service is good. I do wish they had more/better seating. I usually just grab and go.

Seems like they buy rolls premade cut them and add weird whipped butter w flavored syrup. Not homemade for sure... also saw dumping water down storm drain in street? And kitchen broke and were operating out of a truck? Heating up frozen shit in the street carrying into restaurant. They're a scam

About a 1-1.5: Juno Bakery & Cafe is located inside HMart; it'll be the first vendor you'll see before entering the food court area. Their menu offers various beverages (coffee, tea, cappuccino, mocha, macchiato, lattes, hot chocolate, bubble tea, and even seasonal items), cakes, and various Korean breads & pastries. We came here after having lunch, and had the following: +a Mozzarella Cheese Stick - this was a Korean donut twist, covered in sugar, and filled with melty mozzarella; not really what I expected, but maybe a fan of those who are looking for something sweeter +a hot dog pastry - a Korean bread filled with a beef hot dog +a raisin +an apple tart +and, a Strawberry Lemonade bubble tea drink - probably one of the worst tea drinks I've had - this was super diluted and watered down, and there was hardly any strawberry or a lemonade taste to it; the 'kiwi' and the 'strawberry' jellies were a little on the hard side and didn't add anything to the drink One gripe I had was that the strawberry lemonade drink was priced at $7.08 - that's kind of ludicrous! Not to mention that it was ill-prepared, the cost that they have these drinks at is kind of wrong... Unlike other Korean pastry shops, there weren't any disposable gloves or sheets to lay on the trays; I had to get the individual pastry sheets to line the tray. I also noticed that the case that held the 'warmer' pastries (such as the croquettes) were super smeared and required some wipe down - it was kind of gross. This seemed to be a popular spot with the patrons, and there was a line and another longer line for those who were waiting for their beverage(s). I'm glad I was able to give this place a try, but wouldn't return. +overpriced tea drinks! +no disposable sheets to line the trays +surface areas need to be wiped down

It's a cute little cafe inside of hmart! I would say it's convenient but I find that it's actually a negative because there's a extremely noticeable seafood smell the moment you walk in the doors and unfortunately that smell lingers onto the cafe and I just can't for the life of me eat my goods inside. Maybe it's just a personal issue. Besides that Everything is nicely organized and the snacks are very unique. You won't find stuff like this anywhere else in Frederick. I enjoyed my goodies but I do wish for the price the hot foods would come hot. I came around 11 and the hot food was sitting in those heaters but I felt they barely kept it warm. My cinnamon twist was tasty but cold which I wish wasn't the case

Cafe Juno is located inside Hmart. They seem to have a pretty wide selection for a small area. We bought a small rectangular sized mocha cake which was moist and not too sweet. I don't know why they were giving away freebies but when we checked out, the employee included for free a bun with some cream and I think jelly inside. I was afraid that combination would taste odd but it actually tasted pretty good. I'm hoping to try some of their individual cake slices in the future.

What an awesome bakery located within Hmart in Frederick!!! I practically bought two of each items and loved every pieces of them!! By far my favorite was the vegetable stuffing bread and fluffy bread with blueberry cheese fillings. They had an amazing chewy texture that was indescribable and loved how subtly sweet they were. I'm looking forward to buying more when I am in the area!

어제 오전에 구입한 빵중에 김치 고로케 인데 오늘 먹다가 이상한게 씹혀서 보니 철사 조각이 씹히네요. 잇몸이 까졌는데 삼켰겨나 아이들이 먹었으면 어땠을지 끔찍하네요. 근처에 한국 빵집이 하나라서 자주 갔는데 다시는 안갈것 같아요. 전에 비해 빵맛도 변했네요. 남은 빵 몽땅 쓰래기통에 버렸어요. 너무 찜찜하네요

The employee behind the counter skipped my drink order (#5) until after every other order that was in the line (after #15). After waiting 15 minutes, I asked him when my order would be ready, where he said my ticket didn't print. So he knew my order was going to be skipped and was just going to go along with that? And to top it all off, they ran out of pearls the order before mine got made and he did not offer any kind of substitution or refund because of this.

I tried the hot dog bun and it was a good snack while shopping around Hmart! There was a wide variety of bakery items that included the bun I ate, red bean bun, cakes, croquettes, and many more! They also serve bubble tea and other drinks. It seemed pretty popular as most people in line were also ordering a drink. There is also a surrounding food court if you want to get something to eat. Overall, yum :) and it's a good spot to get something quick to eat and drink while grocery shopping!

I loveeeeeeee this place. The strawberry cream croissant is life changing. The service is always great, I love their samples. And it's super cute if you want to do some work on your computer. My ONLY complaint is the price for one singular macaroon and no bundle options.

These refreshing slushees are my new thing. While i was at H mart i was craving a boba tea but stumbled upon these babies and with almost every flavor there is i couldn't NOT not try it. The flavored beads cost extra but so worth it at the end. It was after the gym so it refreshed me instantly. They have cakes, tiny decorated pastries, and fresh bread daily. The aroma itself brings you in that side of the store.

The food is amazing and the location is great. The workers were very friendly and helpful and the place was very clean. I enjoyed that there is outside seating too.

Love their cake rolls! And the pastries are very simple and delicious. Bubble tea is good as well.

Truly different than most cakes I've had before. Very soft, flavorful. Not super sugary. If you're looking for something different than your avg fresh cakes. Quick service. Friendly staff.

Yummy! I didn't even know this stuff existed in this hmart, the donut I got was so yum!

The cakes are DELICIOUS, to say the least! Not too sweet and the actual cake is so fluffy. The blueberry-yogurt cake was a great hit for my three-year-old daughter's birthday. She kept asking for more & I was ok with giving her an additional slice because it's not too sweet. I found my favorite cake spot!

Highly recommend their tiramisu cake. I'm not a huge cake person but this cake is light, fluffy and not overly sweet.

Best boba Tea in town in my opinion and good pricing. There are several really good baristas who make great tasting, not too sweet and consistent drinks. And they are super nice, helpful and friendly, unlike some other places around. It's not a fast drink experience,and good boba shouldn't be. But they work pretty fast. It takes time to make great boba, so expect to wait a little - it's not soda! Be patient, it's worth it to get a really good drink! Their cakes and breads are good as well. Not too sweet, light and fluffy which is consistent with Korean baked goods. Their strawberry and cream cake is my favorite. The tiramisu and blueberry is really good as well!
