Smoking Tiger Bread Factory
11900 South St #134, Lakewood, CA
Crema's Take
“Smoking Tiger Bread Factory is a Korean bakery café that truly shines with its pastries and breads, which reviewers consistently praise as authentic and reminiscent of Seoul—think scones, croissants, and the standout coffee bread that justifies a visit on its own. While the coffee itself gets mixed reviews (regulars seem to enjoy the drip options and creative drinks like the Mugwort Latte), this is really a spot where you come for the exceptional baked goods, a leisurely sit-down atmosphere, and unique Korean-inspired treats that make it worth splurging on their specialty items.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

Great coffee and bread. I took a bite of the coffee bread and it tasted delicious. The s'mores cookie was awesome. I only had a regular coffee. Next time I will definitely try other drinks. Great part is it is open at 10am, most other places open at 11.
IMO best location. I’ve been to the one in Buena Park and this one is much much better. Their pastries remind me of the ones I had in Korea and definitely hit the spot every time 👌 I actually haven’t tried a pastry I haven’t liked so far and I’ve tried tons. Lots of seats to…
This Korean Coffee Shop is relatively new. It has unique and original drinks, like the Mugwort Latte and Kho Latte, and the classics, like a Latte and Chai. They have almond and oat milk as well as one vegan pastry. With the amount of natural light and tables available, it’s…
