Miele Bakery - Montgomery Village

This is a fantastic spot for coffee and sandwiches! The place is very clean and has a family-friendly atmosphere. Most of the baked goods are Korean and incredibly flavorful. They seem to be expanding due to their popularity. I would have given it 5 stars, but they had run out of almond milk, so I had to settle for regular milk. I was also looking forward to trying the milk road cappuccino, but they were out of that as well. Definitely make sure to try the snow bingsoo—we had the green tea flavor, and it was delicious!

This is a nice bakery located next to NCI and Johns Hopkins Montgomery Campus. The ordering process took some getting used to, as you have to place your order at one counter, pay at another, and then return to pick up your sandwich. The sandwich itself was good, although I found it a bit heavy for my taste. The bread had a distinctly American feel, whereas I was hoping for something more inspired by European bread. I also felt that the prices were a bit on the high side.

We each decided to try a macaroon (the black sesame chocolate flavor) and ordered hot drinks. My husband chose the hot chocolate, which he likened to the instant cocoa mixes you get, like Swiss Miss. I went for the Milky Way Cappuccino, made with espresso, white chocolate caramel syrup, and frothed milk. It was incredibly sweet! Overall, we had a good experience as first-time visitors.

Delicious coffee, sandwiches, and bingsoo ice cream, but I came here to study and the wifi was WAY too slow to do anything meaningful. Good for coffee and food, but not good for a study stop.

I definitely regret not getting bingsu here, but it was raining outside and cold. I got some bread two crunchy red bean and one normal crunchy one. Neither was crunchy, and the bread didn't taste fresh as it was quite hard and dense. There's a $5 credit card minimum charge which is actually why I got three breads. I was not a fan, would definitely pass on the bread.
