I love the HK pineapple bun it's so good. I can eat about 10,000 of those. They always have new breads or they rotate it in pretty sure so it's exciting coming back every now and then to see and try new things ?Parking: lots of parkingKid-friendliness: very kid friendly environment

I go to UC store weekly to get the bakery for years. I had a surprise the coconut boron bun had dark juice inside and tasted like red bean paste. There's no coconut inside and we brought to the store and the clerk said oh I don't know... what a terrible service!

Back in my college days and before 85 degrees started popping up around the Bay, this bakery was one of my faves. I remember how much smaller this bakery was in the early days (see my panoramic pic - type "The inside!" in the search bar of the photo gallery). The remodeling did them justice! So glad the inside of the bakery got widened just a bit more. Nice to have some tables to chill out at now instead of just grabbing and going. Two cashiers were busy making several drinks, so it took a few minutes for them to ring me up. I was first in line and 6 other customers were waiting behind me. I would've hoped that one cashier would check out customers. Once a cashier finally got to me, my initial order of two items totaled to $5.80. Unfortunately like most of the Asian shops out here, they charge for using your debit/credit card. So ***NOTE: "$8.00 minimum for using a card + anything less than that is a 50¢ charge." I decided to grab two more items instead. Here's what I walked out with: BLACK SESAME ROLL -- this was a "NEW!" item recently added. I'm a sucka for black sesame so I looked forward to it. It was the first item I tried once I got inside my car. Cake rolls are usually hit or miss. This was fasho a miss. The black sesame flavor was prominent but the cake was dry. Sometimes the filling can make up for and compliment it but the amount was minimal. I ate half to give it a chance. I wouldn't recommend it. H.K. HAM & EGG BUN -- I looooove ham & egg! Especially when it's a square moist egg! Peep the pic for the thickness of the egg. I ate half once I got home. I feel like they can chill just a taaaaad bit on the mayo. That would make it a 10 for me instead of an 8. CURRY PORK SUNG ONION TWIST -- Errmerrgerrdd. This was saaaaaltyyyyy. The onion, pork, and curry powder altogether made it heeeeellllaaaa salty. GREEN ONION BUN -- Simple, but one of my faves. The bread is fluffy and the amount of green onion gave it the perfect amount of flavor. Two of these items were my usual go-tos (Ham & Egg Bun + Green Onion Bun) and the other two were new. Def. gotta try other goods and tea the next time around.

this was our go-to spot for bakery goods, however, the quality and service has been going down over time. although they close at 8pm, they stop serving out fresh items around 4pm. we use to love coming here for their cocktail bun, custard bun, tuna rolls, summer love bun, and some of their savory hot pastries. the last few times we've gone, the buns don't seem fresh and the savory hot pastries are very dry and a bit too salty than what we're used to getting from here. we're pretty surprised the standard hasn't been the same and may not come back to this location. we were hoping they had just an off day but we've visited a few times within the last two months and each time has been a disappointment.

I was buying a couple buns and gave them $10 for changes. The clerk asked me if I had $.10 so she could give me dollars bill back. I said I don’t have. Then she gave me that surprised and disgruntled look. This is the second time I noticed that. Why?
I was expecting the usual creme filling inside today on 12/28/23 and was so dissapointed that it was not what I usually get.. please talk to the bakers cutting the cost on a creme filled pastry is not the way to keep customers coming. Hope you read my post!

The pastries are your typical Chinese variety. One thing to note if you haven't tried Chinese pastries is that they're not heavily sweetened. They're light.When you enter, grab a tray and a pair of tongs. All the pastries are individually wrapped. Take your selection up to the counter to pay.
