Such good Asian fusion pastries! I wanted to try one of everything because it all looked so much. We got a whole assortment of goodies and everything was good. My favorites were the peach milk bun and the crosubi.

My matcha was delicious (perfectly whisked and balanced between earthy and creamy), and all the pastries we tried were delicious. But the best part was the super nice staff. They were so kind and thoughtful to us, and everyone who came in while we were there. Thank you for brightening our day!

Tried the Croissubi after it was highlighted in the New York Times. Really good!! The other pastries look delicious, too. Nice little outdoor tables. Swing by, you won't regret it.

Edit: This was so good, I returned almost immediately to try the gochujang pastry. Amazing!!!

Overall, excellent Asian fusion bakery. 10/10

If you want to surprise yourself with a new taste then try Okonomiyaki Danish.
That’s wow

After the NYTimes article raved about this place, my mom & I went to check it out. Presentation of the pastries were dismal & the flavors a reach for creativity that didn’t land. This place reminded me of a fusion restaurant in Austin trying to mash Eastern with Western into a croissant. Honestly, no surprise to be disappointed by a NY times article.

Sometimes you read about a place and it never lives up to the hype, but not here!

Bake Sum delivers the goods and more… I stopped by with my boys a couple days ago and ordered the infamous Croissubi, a Peppermint Chocolate Milk Bun, a Black Sesame Snickerdoodle, and an assortment of Mochi Bites. The mochi bites and the milk bun were enjoyed by my kids. I did have a bite of each and found them really good and surprisingly not overly sweet. The Croissubi though was made with some sort of witchcraft though… the pastry was flaky and buttery and the flavor wasn’t overwhelming, but rather complimentary. Each bite got better and at the end I kind of wish I ordered a second one. Then there was the Black Sesame Snickerdoodle, which stands on its own feet… I’ve never had such a delicious cookie in my life, and that’s saying a lot! Get the cookie, get the cookie!!!

The bakery itself is very non-descript, but cozy, although that could be due to how friendly the woman operating the counter was. The staff is quick at fulfilling your order and getting you out the door to enjoy these amazing pastries!
