Ms. Ji Yu opened on May 10, 1999 the Shilla Bakery. The bakery is very different from what most people in the Washington, DC metropolitan area have experienced. It is a Korean Bread-style Bakery.

Shilla Bakery bread baking is butter cream and not sugar based. This style of baking produces more healthy bread that is not quite as sweet. Everything is made here. Breads are freshly prepared daily in their ovens. They can make your birthday, wedding, or any occasion cake to your taste.

Already very popular are the chestnut bread, sponge cakes, and pork and vegetable turnovers. Soon you will be able to bring your friend and enjoy a new tasty trend. First find your favorite picture of your guest. Take it to Shilla Bakery. Select their favorite cake. Place your order. Arrange your rendezvous. Sit down together and eat your delicious photo-cake.

Healthy Breads are special orders that are made for your personal well being. As we all know now, breads are good for us. Shilla Bakery prepares special breads that will compliment your nutritional needs.

• If you are a meat lover you may want special bread with pumpkinseeds and/or walnuts.
• If you are a vegetarian you may want special bread with peanuts and/or pumpkinseeds.
• If you are balanced between meat and vegetables you may want special bread with oat or rice bran.
• If you don’t care about either meat or vegetables you may want special bread with chestnuts or walnuts.

When you visit Shilla Bakery ask for "han-gwa". Most of these light and crispy traditional sweets and cookies are made of rice flour mixed with honey. Like rice cakes, they were served at ancestor worship ceremonies and on other special days.
