What a cute little bakery! I came here by chance after an event at the bookstore on the corner, and I'm really glad I did. Other bakeries are pretty chaotic, loud, and intimidating. This one is very chill and calm. The auntie at the counter patiently takes your order, I can't say that for all Chinatown bakeries! I got a green onion bun, a bo-lo bao (called a pineapple bun, because it looks like a pineapple), a cha siu bolo bao, a ham and cheese bao. All were really light...
I know I am always giving five stars. It’s because I am thrilled when I visit places I have been reading about for ages. And when I finally get to have a coconut crème bao again after months, and it just makes me so happy. This place is funny. They are known for Chinese-style tamales. I did not have that. I had the egg tart and bao. Yummy. There was not a place to sit in the place on Sunday morning so I did the next best thing- stood outside the cafe and ate it. ☺️ again...
Lovely Chinese bakery open pretty early. I get different things almost every time I go but their BBQ pork bun is very good. Cheapest bakery open around 9am in chinatown I think but still somewhat expensive.
