It seems some reviews are not factoring in price and value. It's easy enough to spend 2x the money on similar foods. Certain items will be better with a quick heat in microwave. Pork buns are top-tier as is, and only $1.50 each.

Man the meat pies were a disappointment. The pork was a strange pink paste and the pastry was super sweet. The pastry was also not cooked as it was dripping butter.

Never had such bad chinese food, but...
2 tasteless meat buns, 2 soy milk drinks, 1 mushy fried dough : total 7$.
Was it worth it? Still NO.

I came to run a marathon, and because of the seven o'clock time difference, I was able to drink soy milk, eat fried dough sticks, and the pickled tea eggs were so delicious! The price is super cheap! I saw the men next to me eating the same thing, and after asking, I found out that the chicken wings were made by the lady boss herself. The lady boss was also very enthusiastic and insisted on giving me one. I was so embarrassed that I hurried away haha?

Thought the rustic atmosphere and mediocre service indicated the food was good as Chinese restaurants usually tend to be. The reviews here were assuring, but I’ve never had cakes and pies as bad as these. I’m never picky about my food and finish everything, but the meat pie was sweet and pale pink, as if raw from the inside. The crust tasted like dense sawdust. And the coconut cherry cake tasted like it had been sitting there for days, the taste of stale and dust. I’m very sad it turned out to be this bad. But the prices were cheap :)

Unassuming bakery with excellent prices (cheapest in the area) and fantastic assortment. Don’t be surprised that it looks like an industrial break room, but the owners are kind and welcoming and the baked goods are very much worth it

Clean, organized bakery. Selection was a little more limited compared to some other bakeries, but what they do, they do well. Got a pork floss bun, a cream cake, and zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling). The woman who was helping me asked if I planned to eat the zongzi now to later so that she could give me a warm one if I was going to comsume it immediately. Cannot wait to eat the goodies
Had one of the egg tarts. Devine. Friendly.
