New Dokil Bakery — low-key bakery in Albany Park that runs on repeat customers. Rooted in technique and tradition throughout. The staff makes it feel personal, and owner on site. Tyler Javier: "They were both incredibly kind and helpful, and the soboro ppang was fresh and delightful"

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff and the pastries are very delicious but also cheap. My only wish is for them to open extend the time a bit so I can visit them on the week day. But I guess I don’t mind visiting them on the weekends either.

“I was walking around the neighborhood and noticed the sign for New Dokil Bakery.”
I was walking around the neighborhood and noticed the sign for New Dokil Bakery. Dokil 독일 means German/Germany in Korean, and the sign reminded me of one of my favorite Kdramas Reply 1988. This store is a cute neighborhood bakery that sells delicious Korean breads, some with cream fillings. The bread tastes fresh and homemade, and it's priced reasonably. The owner is also very friendly and welcoming. They make cakes to order as well, so next time I have a special occasion I'll try ordering from New Dokil Bakery. I like to support local businesses over international franchises, and I'm impressed that they have been in operation for over forty years!

“Ordered the Strawberry Yogurt Cake and it was very good.”
Ordered the Strawberry Yogurt Cake and it was very good! It’s the perfect not too sweet cake. Everyone loved it and was asking where I got it from. Very easy to order too! I also really appreciated the inclusion of candles and a cake topper, the box is also super cute!

“Grace made a beautiful custom cake for my sister’s 30th birthday party.”
Grace made a beautiful custom cake for my sister’s 30th birthday party! She made it very easy to place a custom order and was so helpful with loading it into my car to ensure that it didn’t move around while transporting to the venue. The cake was a hit, it was on theme and absolutely delicious. Thanks for helping to make the day special!! Would highly recommend working with New Dokil for any occasion, small or large!

“Stumbled upon an Authentic Korean Bakery along Lawrence Ave and it did not disappoint.”
Stumbled upon an Authentic Korean Bakery along Lawrence Ave and it did not disappoint. I love both pastries I bought from the store. The owner (Grace) is so kind and friendly. Will be going back to try other pastries.

First time here. The owner was very nice and welcoming. I got the custard stuffed bread at a great price, and it tasted fresh and creamy and sweet. Wonderful place to stop and pick up something to treat yourself. They should update the storefront to be more visible and attract more customers.

“you cant compare this bakery with others.”
you cant compare this bakery with others. Not only their pastries, but also all the workers there are so nice. I feel so refreshed anytime I visit there. Their breads are incomparable to others. I order theirs and visit the bakery anytime I have a chance. I am usually not a bread person, but they have been successful to add some weights on me !!! if you want to try, never doubt New Dokil Bakery!!!! Thank You New Dokil Bakery!!!:
