My favorite Asian bakery in Inner Richmond! This place was always my go to for egg tarts and other buns. Their egg tart had the perfect consistency. It also has a great balance between sweet and eggy. The crust is a flaky crust, no the solid crumbly crust. No need to go all the way to Chinatown for good egg tarts! They also have solid pineapple buns and pork buns. Everyone is nice there too! It can be intimidating when everyone mostly speaks Chinese. They're really sweet and fast.

The flaky pastries were good. The fluffy baked buns (I got pork, and black sesame) were a little soggy/doughy in the middle but that might be because it was the end of the day. The varieties of pastries was great.

I've only ordered via DoorDash recently, but the quality of their food and packaging is superior. Highly recommend the egg tarts and baked pork buns.

Let's get something straight - their Chinese baked goods are among the best in San Francisco. Everything I've purchased from them - the baked buns, the puff pastry fruit, bean or meat pies, the plain or filled breads, the moon cakes, the rice flour pastries, the egg tarts, all super yummy and expertly done. BUT The service is beyond horrible. I'm Asian but order in English and EVERY time I've been in on Friday or Saturday afternoon, the woman behind the counter grunts at me, is super rushed, and tells me to hurry up with my order. EVERY time I get my change, it's slammed on the counter or basically thrown at me. I don't expect good service every place I go. But I do expect the counter people to be human and treat people with respect. Apparently not here.

Solid Chinese bakery. They have a huge variety and they're always fresh. My kids favorite are their hot dog buns, pinneapple bun (with and without custard), egg tarts, cocktail buns, bbq pork buns and cake cups. They also have hong kong milk tea. Parking can be a bit tricky though, especially on the weekends.

At the end of the wedding, sometimes you need just one more little savory treat. We’ve seen a lot of different late night snacks at weddings over the years, but we wanted to give a nod to the bride’s heritage and to the cuisine of the Bay Area. What could be a better easy late night snack for this than bao?! Everyone loves char siu bao, and we love Cherry Blossom Bakery. We’ve stopped in for fresh treats so many times, so we thought of them immediately for our wedding late night snacks. They were easy to work with and made us a batch fresh for our wedding - we had one of the groom’s step brothers pick them up from Cherry Blossom Bakery on wedding day and they were perfect pork buns. They disappeared from the late night snack table almost instantly when they were put out for guests.

$36 bucks for a "cake". This was last minute, the cake had strawberries, green grapes and a kiwi. NO FILLING between layers. The whole cake was pink frosted, 2 layers of thin cake and the largest top layer of frosting. No one wants to eat that. There were 3 cakes left in the display case.There's a five star display that I thought was a credit card machine. CASH ONLY but somehow they can fulfill orders by grubhub??? Will not come again to this location, the one on ocean is way better, not sure if they have the same cake decorators but the two I've gotten on Ocean Ave were far better.

This place is fantastic! So legit. Fresh, delicious- and insanely inexpensive! Highly recommend- make sure you try the chocolate/ mango mousses and the egg custard tarts (they were still warm when I ate mine!)

Ordered 30 BBQ Pork Buns for work. Great service. Delicious food ?
Honestly great, reasonably priced bakery and reminds me of the buns I've had growing up. Their fresh bread in the morning is great, really warm, soft, and airy. My favorites are the pork floss and pineapple custard bun (the mini ones come in 3s and are a perfect snack size!) They have a huge variety to try and I also like the roast pork bun, corn & ham bun, hot dog bao, and egg tart. Would definitely recommend!

I thought the regular pastries were just okay, but the mooncakes were standout. I would definitely cross the city to get mooncakes here!

Absolutely lifesavers as they saved me! Had to get a cake for Mom's birthday and they were soooo helpful and flexible. Helped me out by being so accommodating considering all the different changes, I needed for my cake order. 3 times, I was calling to make changes and even at the last minute! Didn't know that they have two locations, one at Clement and the other on Ocean Avenue. See pictures of the cake below. Love the Clement Street Location as just a bit off of the busy part of Clement Street, and always have parking!

Cash only! Yummy looking pastries. I had an egg and ham bun. Love the steamed egg and the sweet bun. The beef curry buns are good too. More recently my friend asked me to pick up a sponge cake from here. The mango mousse cake was SO pretty and so delicious! I love Chinese cakes because they're not too sweet, they're moist, and they are so light that it makes you feel less guilty. :) I went around 11 on a Saturday and got lucky because there was no line. They had 2 cakes in the fridge, and the lady working recommended mango over strawberry. But I bet strawberry is good too! You can also preorder, but it's nice they have a couple of cakes to choose from that you can just pick up that day. I think it was $36. Everyone loved it. I highly recommend this place for savory or for sweet treats.

the woman at the counter is always rude. don't know why she is always so unhappy and unpleasant. we purchased over $180 of mooncake a few months ago and received 2 $5 certificates. the fine print said that we can't combine the two, that's fine. it did not say that we can't use it for two separate purchases. but the woman with straight hair was so rude about it and makes up rules she likes. it's not like we are trying to scam you, it's $5 and we would have bought more than the certificate. instead we will never come back. our friends and family have all had bad experiences there and don't shop there anymore. don't know what's wrong with her. there are other bakeries on the same street that are nicer and cheaper.
