4 stars is spot on! They have bubble tea, but it's powered formula tea, not "real" bubble tea. There is no seating inside. It has a great selection of bakery items. Credit card minimum is $10, which is standard at Chinatown. Friendly staff members.

Food was tasty, I got a garlic cheese baguette and a taro and walnut bun. Service was good, paid very quickly - make sure to bring enough cash! The place itself was very pretty and clean, lots of soft colors and it smelled great.

There was a decent selection of pastries still available on a Saturday afternoon despite the number of customers. I tried the pork floss milk bun ($2.70). The bun was very soft, and the inside was deliciously creamy. The pork floss added a savory juxtaposition, but I found it too salty. I would get the milk bun by itself if they sell it without the pork floss.

The cheese cake is amazing! People were friendly and there's a decent variety of bakeries. This bakery is located near several other bakeries. It was my first time and I will be back. The pace was clean when I was there but I didn't like that the pastries were being packaged out where people and germs are more prevalent.

I got the cream custard bun. It was decent though the breading was a bit dry on this day. The inside of the store was nicely lit. Looking forward to trying other stuff.

I'm not a patron, but I did like the shops name and sign and for that you get five stars.

I enjoyed the breads here, and they even take credit card (if over 10$). It's one of the modern looking bakeries, with all the breads individually wrapped and (most of them) self serve. As a result, probably easier for non-Chinese speakers to navigate. The egg tart has a pastry that is more shortbread style and the filling was a little too sweet for my taste. It's a solid option, but doesn't take the crown. I was surprised that the hot dog bun has ketchup! In retrospect, it would seem to be an obvious inclusion, but I've never had a hot dog bun with that. I liked the flavor combination of the taro and pork floss bun better. The buns both had nice soft bread.

The best bakery in Boston Chinatown! Thier bread is very soft. Everything is good here but my favorites are Portuguese egg tart, mini cheese hot dogs, and Hokkaido milk bread. Unlike some reviews here, I have not yet had bad service here. Another bakery across the street "Cafe Corner" is also run by the same company and their sesame balls are awesome too.

This place reminds me of the 85C degree bakery chain. They have very authentic Taiwanese bread/pastries that I personally like better than the 85C degree selections. I got the pineapple bun that had mochi stuffing inside which is super hard to find! Usually Asian bakeries just sell plain pineapple bun with no stuffing inside. (Also just a side note pineapple bun has no pineapple, it's just referring to its looks). We also got the ham & corn toast, beef sandwich, and the wife cake. We loved every pastries we got. I also love how they sell the wife cake in small bite sizes. It's very addicting... I'll have to come back every time I'm in Boston. This is probably the best Asian bakery in Chinatown. They do have a $10 minimum if you want to pay with credit card. However, their pastries are so amazing you'll easily want to spend over $10.
