    get the giant almond cookie, the roasted pork (looks like pork cotton candy) bun, and the taiwanese riceball stuffed with a crueller and more cotton candy pork.

    Delicious and cheap. The coffee is great but beware they ONLY have light cream. The raisin roll is a personal favorite but I hear the pork buns are fantastic as well

    The Pineapple Buns are super delicious and only 90¢. Also check out the cooler which has delicious treats like strawberry jam rolls, mousse, and sponge cake! Yum!

    Decent roast pork bun and peanut filled mochi. Not our favorite bakery in Chinatown, but a few solid options if you're close.

    The apple bun, raisin twist and especially the New York cheesecake are the best! In addition the prices are really good!

    I really like their sponge cake! They have almonds on top and aren't overly wet or dry. Perfect.

    They got lots of seating so its an ideal place to rest if you're on an adventure and chinatown is one of your pit stops :)

    They don't have those fried sesame balls with red bean paste inside :( But everything else was really good - I would recommend sticking with the Chinese pastries, not the Western ones.

    You want the custard bun. Flaky crisp melt in your mouth topping, warm beautiful grin- inducing center. Make sure it's the triangle shaped one!
