I Likeee
The Matcha mango cream, custard bun was divine! It was so great with the Boba in it and perfectly creamy with the right flavors, the only critique would be if there was a little bit more Matcha flavor!!! we also had the brown sugar boba one which we also really liked, but not as much! We thought the flavors in the mango one were a bit better! We also had Ube cheesecake, which was just right, I think sticking to the buns is best because the ube cheesecake didn’t really have much flavor! Very reasonable price for how big the custard buns are!!!
p1 is the size of their crepe cake in store, p2 is the size that I got from delivery. I wonder where the missing 1/3 went 🤭
The Coconut custard buns were outstanding! Can’t wait to try more savory stuff from here.
Gold macaron was my first time. Sweet and yummy! And other breads are soft and tasty.
Cute little bakery with some great treats. We had the Ube Crepe Cake (so so good) and a honey cake. Very enjoyable and would go back!
Finally got to cross off a long-standing bucket list item: crepe cake—and I’m so glad I did it here.
I tried the ube flavor, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Beautiful layers of delicate crepes with just the right amount of cream in between, and that earthy-sweet ube flavor that’s both unique and comforting. It’s a dessert that feels light, but still delivers that luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth richness.
Just a heads-up for first-timers: the crepe cakes are sold frozen, so you need to give them time to thaw. It’s worth the wait. Once it’s ready, the texture and flavor really shine through.
Bao Bao Bakery has a huge menu—everything from buns and pastries to bubble tea and savory snacks. But for me, the crepe cake was the standout. It’s not something you find often, and they do a great job with it.
If you’ve never tried crepe cake before, or if ube is one of your go-to flavors, this is definitely worth checking out. Sweet, elegant, and a little different from your typical bakery desserts. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors next time.
I was happy to see a variety of sweet and savory buns. The curry beef bun was quite good. The moon cakes were okay, i have had better at other locations as these ones were rather dry and crumbly as opposed to soft and chewy

I would rate this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the “milk bread” which was just regular white bread. We were so excited to get the bread (DoorDash) that we saw in Korea but it was not even close. It’s just white bread.

I’m obsessed with this place. I’ve been here easily twice a month for the past few months, and have always been thoroughly happy with their mooncakes, cookies, buns, bread, everything I’ve tried. I’ll have to try a drink next time!

The woman got very defensive when I asked if the puffs might become soggy because of the moist fillings inside which I think is a fair question. It was completely unnecessary.
