Bao Bao Bakery & Cafe Reviews
Still as good as ever. Stopped by after a show in Boston and they had loads of delicious buns to pick from at amazing prices. After a decade and a half, they're still my favorite place in Chinatown to go.
We got a mini bao cake . It look so cute , but the taste was kind of flat. We asked for mango filling but got purple slices with the smallest amount of mango. It is a 6 inch cake for $38. Remember to being cash because they will charge you extra to use credit card. The cake was definitely cute to look at but that was about it.
Worked with Gloria to design a custom cake for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday party, and she was super helpful in advising on what would look good, taste good, and stay within a defined budget. Everyone loved the cake!Great experience!

Bao Bao Bakery & Cafe is a popular spot located in Chinatown, known for its delicious food and reasonable prices. The bakery offers a variety of sweet treats, including a cake that is so beautifully decorated that customers hesitate to cut into it. The coconut cream bun, chocolate swiss roll cake, and other pastries have received high praise.
The jasmine pink lemonade and bacon and cheese bread are standouts, while the pineapple buns with filling, egg custard tart, and red bean paste buns are also worth trying. The Matcha mango cream, custard bun was divine with the Boba, and the brown sugar boba one was also well-liked. The ube cheesecake was just right, but the flavors in the mango one were a bit better.
The crepe cake, especially in the ube flavor, was a standout with its delicate layers and earthy-sweet ube flavor. The bakery also offers a variety of savory buns, including the curry beef bun, which was quite good. Overall, Bao Bao Bakery & Cafe is a great place for a satisfying meal or a sweet treat.
