Incredible bakery!! We love their chocolate mousse, tiger rolls, their red bean egg yolk rolls - everything has been AWESOME! Not overwhelmingly sweet, great textures and flavors. Highly recommend!

Love dropping in here whenever I’m in the area. Great egg tarts and hot dog buns. Their egg tarts and Po tarts are so flakey and delicious and much bigger than the ones you get in Chinatown.

Edit with two new discoveries: They sometimes have this pastry called a coconut tart and it’s sooo good. Has real coconut flakes and a buttery yet flakey texture. Their chocolate croissant is also all chocolate, unlike the traditional croissant with two measly pockets of chocolate. Highly recommend both!

Delicious Asian style pastries and cake. Not too sweet or greasy unlike typical American bakery deserts. Highly recommended! ???

I love visiting this bakery anytime I’m in the area for a concert or just passing through. Extremely lowkey, self serve bakery spot. The taro items and creamy buns are my go-to purchase every time. Sometimes the milkbread has uneven distribution of taro, but I know its hard to swirl it in consistently. The taro buns with the slivered almonds on top are usually reliably filled with taro very well however! I always buy an extra few treats to put in my freezer.

Luckily, this bakery is far from my house or I would eat too many treats. The wife cake and taro rolls are top notch, worth a trip alone. All of the other baked goods are also high quality and as good as any of the many other options. A huge surprise was the ham and cheese croissant, it could convince you it was French.

Taro cake was amazing and only $30! Not too sweet, no artificial taro flavor, judt a thin layer of real taro that added earthy richness.

omg the food doesn’t look like the picture they put on at all and the pastry is so dull. I can’t believe I had so much expectation going in and got this mediocre bakery. Never
