Great treats! We tried the cheesecake and the tiger roll and both were very fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. We had the French vanilla cappuccino and it was very good.

Delicious light and fluffy cheesecake. Price was $17.99. It is pricey but for once in a while it's fine

It's a cute bakery with a small selection of baked goods and a few boba options. They ran out of the orange fruit tea when I went so I opted for a jasmine milk tea and tiramisu.The boba was pretty standard, nothing special, not too sweet which is how I prefer it. The tiramisu was okay, but nothing notable and likely not something I'd get again here. The prices are a bit up there, but not a place I'd go out of my way to visit.

Not bad food, especially for Chinese stomach. But I agree it is quite pricey. A box of 4-piece cake roll is >20$ . The lady is nice but not very efficient so be patient about the waiting.

The desserts are excellent! I ordered on a delivery app and I tried the tiramisu cake, strawberry cream cake, and Oreo Mille cake which was especially good. The desserts are lighter and a bit less sweet than traditional American desserts which is really a nice change. You can tell a lot of care and attention went into making these desserts. So good, highly recommend.

This bakery is such a wonderful addition to Newton. My kids constantly beg to go there. The cakes are out of this world, and even per my mother in law worth the higher price from the usual Chinese bakery we have gone to because of the higher quality including real cream and real fruit. My kids are also obsessed with the crepe cake, and we always need to pick up egg custard (dan ta) as well. The bubble tea is also superior to really any other place locally. The owner is always there and is so nice. The space is quiet, clean and just lovely.

Crystal's Bakery is an excellent and authentic Japanese bakery. These other reviewers don't seem to understand that Japanese desserts aren't as sweet as the diabetes-inducing American junk they are used to. The crepe cakes are fantastic, unique and light. The bakery is spotless, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the desserts are elegant and delicious. I go weekly and plan on continuing to. It's a shame that others can't recognize and appreciate good cooking. Try the crepe cakes!
You must try their taro cake!!! It's a little expensive tho?

The matcha crepe cake is a slice of heaven. As is the tiramisu. Recently discovered this little gem and keep coming back.

I went to this dessert spot for some cakes as well as to study. The overall experience was good, but I do have some mixed feelings. The customer service was really friendly and accommodating, definitely a 100 for that. The cakes were fine, but a little bit pricey, probably to offset operating expenses in the area as others said. However, I think the business operation is not carried out well. Many of the items ran out just several hours after opening; people need to wait half an hour to pick up pre-ordered cakes; delivery people arguing for a slow preparation... Hopefully they can improve the management in the future.
