Loved the xiao long bao (came out in closer to 10 min!), the seasonal mojito, and the green onion bun is my fave. Great free wifi and lovely service. Witnessed an act of kindness from the owner today. Everyone who works here is lovely. 10/10 stars.

LOVED! Food was really good. The bun they make tastes really good. Ive only seen it in a baked good form, but never a bun. Was really unique (at least to me).The guy manning the counter was SO NICE. Theres a good customer service nice and then theres this person’s level of courteousness. He just seemed so respectful when taking our order and also greeted us brightly as soon as we entered. If the owner is reading this, we went on 2/11/24!The atmosphere is nice too. Not chaotic and was a nice size to be cozy.Only thing i would say is that it’s street parking so we ended up walking from our Hyatt Bellevue hotel. But we’ll be eating here every time we go to Seattle!

Rarely does the food taste as good as it looks, but this café is legit. The black sesame matcha latte is the best black sesame latte I’ve had to date. Most places water down the black sesame so that it has no flavor and/or doesn’t mix into the rest of the drink but not this place. The taro piggy bun was also fantastic. I was super lucky to get their last one. Super tasty and filling and nothing like the frozen piggy buns sold at 99 Ranch.Not only are the food and drinks amazing, but the aesthetic of the café is so kawaii and modern. This is the perfect spot to come study, get some work done, or catch up with friends.

I went to this cute cafe inside the apartment building at the Bellevue downtown area per friend’s invitation. I was impressed by the Hong Kong egg sandwiches and immediately want to come back. Due to Wednesdays closure, I finally made here today on a quiet Monday. I followed a happy fellow customer’s order, had piggy buns with molten custard but they ran out of taro custard, another Hong Kong sandwich and two originals egg tarts. They all wrapped beautifully and delicious. I would say they do treat every order seriously. Next time I will try their specialty coffee latte drinks. I am not sure about parking but did find a street parking around 2pm in the afternoon.

We tried this place for the first time after following them on Instagram for some time. Omg... not only does the food look super cute but their food is amazing! The piggy buns were fluffy and sweet. The sandwich was to die for - we can't wait to come back. The spam in the sandwich provided the perfect saltiness and the egg was silky soft and sweet. The black sesame latte is highly recommended. We came at 9 am and was able to find a table in the morning during opening. The customer service was also super nice - I feel their quality of their food matches their customer service - delightful!

This place is recommended by my Airbnb host. I m so glad I made it a try ! Love their Coffee Milk Tea, a very traditional Hong Kong style 1/2 Coffee 1/2 Milk Tea! I Also like their Pineapple Bun with spam and egg sandwich! I like to eat the bun, egg and the spam separately likes breakfast plate. So it work for me too.The service is amazing. I usually order hot drink they accidentally make it ice however they fix my drink immediately. So I m happy! This place is so cozy and clean. Perfect for work, homework or gathering. Parking is easy too. There are plenty of street parking around the cafe.I will definitely try other things

100% get the spam musubi pineapple bun!! It was soooo good. Soft fluffy egg, salty spam (in the best way), & sweet pineapple bun. The piggy bun was so cute and the custard made for a good dessert bun.The steamed bbq pork bun was okay but could use more filling to bun ratio.Sol got sea salt crema & I got the black sesame latte. They were okay. Strong coffee flavor and not very sweet.Good amount of seating, free WiFi, and free street parking.Overall, come for the pineapple hk sandwiches!

Get: The Spam Musubi HK Sandwich and a piggy bunThis cafe has my favorite breakfast sandwich - ever. The Spam Musubi HK sandwich is just perfection. Spam, great, furikake, great, pineapple bun?!, game changing. It's a great blend of salty and sweet. Whenever I travel into Bellevue for travel , I head here for breakfast. I only wish they were open a bit earlier!Their piggy bun is soooo cute and delicious as well. I've also gotten a number of specialty drinks here that were asian-inspired and delicious. I've noticed they sometimes host pop-ups here. When I came last time, they had a line out the door for some delicious looking doughnuts. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.If the tables inside are filled up, there is a little outside area you can sit if weather permits.

I ordered a vanilla latte, piggy custard bun, crispy bbq pork bun, and matcha egg tart. I love the crispy bbq pork bun!! I will definitely order a few next time to-go. So good! The piggy custard bun is so cute and also good. I was a little disappointed with the matcha egg tart, just did not have a lot of matcha flavor and texture made it hard to eat. The latte was good! I do think the tables could be cleaner as there were a few open tables but none were clean. Overall, I'd come again if I was in the area to try other items on their menu!
The biggest motivator for why my bestie and I came here was for the cutest piggy buns! This cafe is cute, casual and there is plenty of seating. Their menu contains a selection of savory and sweet foods as well as a wide selection of coffees, teas, and mojitos. In my opinion, there's something for everyone on the menu. If I could, I probably would've ordered one of each thing off of the menu because everything sounded delicious!Spam Musubi HK Sandwich | 9/10, would get again; this was delicious. Absolutely loved the concept of using a pineapple bun for the breadPiggy Bun w/ Custard | 7/10, nothing special about it other than it being cuteSalted Caramel Mocha | 6/10Black Sesame Matcha | 6/10Reservation: not needed, casual sit down dining or to-goParking: street parkingThe workers on this day were all really nice. It took sometime for our food to come out but not too long - you can tell the food was made to order based on how fresh it tasted!I was pretty disappointed with the drinks even though their appearance was gorgeous. The mocha lacked a strong coffee flavor and the matcha lacked a strong matcha flavor. Nonetheless, I would still return back to this place to try more dishes and to give their drinks another chance because of how good the Spam Musubi HK Sandwich was.

SUCH a cute spot! I had saved this place because of all the cute pastries and delicious sounding drinks that they have, and got the chance to come out here on a Thursday after work.We shared a mochi custard bun, egg tart, and molten custard piggy bun. They came out pretty quickly and were thankfully warm, and all so cute! They are quite small and pricey for what they are, but everything did taste amazing. The egg tart crust was sweet which was different than usual but I did really enjoy it, and the mochi custard bun had a nice chew. I also loved the molten custard center of the piggy bun though my friends did think it was a little eggy. I also had a sip of the vietnamese iced coffee which was so strong but so good.Overall, cute spot with some delicious baked and steamed goods!

This is a cute little shop with small tables and chairs you can enjoy your food and drinks. They have a pretty background you can take photos in front of if you like.I didn't notice a parking lot so you'll have to park on the street. I had trouble figuring out how to get in but there is a business you go through and the door is to the left.I got the Vietnamese coffee and it was tasty. I ordered a variety of pastries. Every single one of them was delicious.The piggy custard bun was my favorite, ooey gooey I loved it. Crème brûlée egg tart so good. The matcha egg tart was strong in matcha was ok. Pork floss bun savory and yummy. Green onion bun really good. Crispy bbq pork bun was tasty and a little messy. I would recommend a napkin with the savory pastries.I'll be back for more.

I've been wanting to visit this place to try out their pineapple bun. It lived up to my expectations, although it is a bit on the higher price. I also got the bbq bun and HK milk tea which were both good! Wait time wasn't long on a late Sunday morning. There are several tables inside, and it's a good place to sit and chill or do some studying/work.
