I recently visited this fantastic Chinese bakery that left me impressed with its delectable array of dumplings and dim sum plus an extensive selection of both savory and sweet baked treats. The dumplings were a true delight, bursting with flavorful fillings and perfectly crafted wrappers. The variety of baked goods catered to every palate. What pleasantly surprised me the most was the affordability - high-quality dishes at such reasonable prices make this bakery a hidden gem. If you're a fan of authentic Chinese flavors without breaking the bank, this place is a must-visit!

Great place to pick up some nice pork buns! The price here is very good so I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to quickly satisfy their Asian bakery craving

The custard in the egg tart (1.25$) is excellent, just on the verge of liquid, but the crust is only just fine. I'd go elsewhere unless the custard is super important to you!

Delicious food at very good prices! They sell out of many items quickly on the weekend so sometimes you got to get a little lucky

Owner was super nice! My favorite bun was the pork pun. Super flavorful and tasty. The store was peaceful and very clean. There was a variety of buns as well.

Pork buns are really good. This is my first stop for breakfast once I arrive at south station.

I wouldn’t say their food is the best but the price is awesome and their staff is the most friendly among all the restaurants in Chinatowns across the country I’ve ever been

Ordered a mango cake and it was not worth it. The mango was not ripen, so it was still hard!! I do not recommend ordering cakes here but their buns are very good.
My favorite coffee in town. I tried going back to Starbucks one time and it couldn’t even compare to my regular order at Cafe 180! I prefer to shop local business anyway so win win for me �

Bring your Chinese speaking friend for the best experience. They're nice but it is admittedly hard to know what to order since their menu has very few pictures. The seating and ambience are mediocre but this is what you would expect for an authentic Chinese restaurant. I recommend the Cha Siu Bao.

They open at 6:30am and offer a full range of bakery items for breakfast. They also have congee and some dim sum. One of the congee is dried vegetable with pork, it is delicious and warms you from head to toe. Chive dumplings are good too, I ate two before I remembered to snap a photo.

The lack of reviews for 180 cafe is a shame, this is a hidden gem located right off the main street in Chinatown. As many other reviewers mentioned, the prices are exceptionally low and many locals like to hang out here to read news and catch up with one another. The quality of the various breads have all been amazing, I've also had the shrimp dumplings (haa gaau) and was really impressed with the flavor and freshness. Order in Cantonese for an even more authentic experience :) I'll definitely be back and hope to try more of their baked goods and dim sum plates, especially the sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf (joong).
