My husband and I absolutely loved Bakery 1908! It's such a fun experience from the minute you walk…read morein. You grab a tray and a pair of tongs and make your way through the bakery, with separate glass display cases for the sweet and savory pastries. You just pick whatever looks good -- which is dangerous because everything looks good! First of all, the prices are fantastic. Most of the buns are under $4. My absolute favorite was the ham and cheese bun. The bun is slightly sweet and the ham and cheese are savory, and the combination is SO good. The blueberry bun was another favorite -- it almost had a blueberry cheesecake flavor. We also tried the curry bun, which was delicious. We ordered several of the hot items too. The har gow (shrimp dumplings) were outstanding. They have a delicate steamed wrapper filled with plump, juicy shrimp, and these were honestly some of the best I've ever had. I've eaten in multiple restaurants in Chinatown in both Los Angeles and San Francisco, so that's saying a lot! The Shanghai dumplings, which are little soup dumplings filled with meat and broth, were also delicious. We also tried the steamed pork ribs. The flavor was very good, but steamed pork has a different appearance and there were some fatty pieces. I'm glad we tried them, but they're probably the one thing I wouldn't order again. Another huge plus was the pricing on the hot food -- every hot entrée we looked at was under $10. Between the two of us, we ordered seven different things, couldn't even finish everything, and our entire check was only $46. Great quality, great variety, and an incredible value. I will definitely be back. I was going to say I wish there were one closer to us...but maybe it's a good thing there isn't, because I would probably eat those ham and cheese buns every day! Five stars!

Extremely disappointing customer service, especially from the manager…read more I placed an order for two milk tea drinks at 1:24 PM. While waiting, I watched another customer receive her drinks even though I was already ahead of her by approximately four customers in line. At 1:32 PM, I approached the gentleman at the counter to ask about my order. He did not greet me or acknowledge me. He looked at my receipt, looked at his watch, and dismissively said, "It's not even 10 minutes." He then asked me, "What do you want to do?" When I asked what he meant, he told me I could either wait or get my money back. He checked in the back and came back telling me it would be another five minutes. I agreed to wait. Five minutes later, instead of simply addressing the delay or apologizing, he told me I could grab a bun while I waited. I explained that I already had a bun and that, considering the inconvenience and the way the situation was handled, I felt a discount would have been an appropriate gesture. Instead, he offered to refund my money and gave me another receipt without the drinks. The most disappointing part was Norman, the manager. At no point did he apologize, acknowledge the inconvenience, or make any genuine effort to resolve the situation professionally. As a manager, I expected him to step in, listen to the customer, and demonstrate some level of courtesy and accountability. Instead, his attitude left me with the very clear impression that he simply did not care whether he had my business or not. I completely understand that a bakery can get busy and that orders can sometimes take longer than expected. The issue wasn't simply the wait--it was the attitude and the complete lack of customer service. A simple apology and a professional response could have completely changed the experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed and unappreciated as a customer. Management should understand that customers remember how they are treated, especially when something goes wrong. I will not be returning, and I hope the owners take this feedback seriously and address how customers are being treated by management.

Absolutely recommend. 20/10 no notes!!!…read more Tucked into a plaza, I've seen this spot so many times and finally was able to check it out. The inside is a decent size with tables, cute decor and lots of plants. When I first walked in, I was taken back by how beautiful the pastry display cases were!! I had the hardest time choosing which pastry to get because they all looked like works of art!! Super friendly staff, great service but now to get to the goods: the coffee and pasties. This is a true authentic French bakery, no doubt in my mind. The iced salted caramel latte is the best I have EVER had. I could taste every flavor and it blended with the coffee perfectly. The ham and cheese croissant was so flakey, the perfect ham ratio and just all around fantastic. The pastry I got had raspberry jam and white chocolate ganache (I don't remember the name of it) and it was seriously the best pastry I've ever had. Most pastries can be too sweet, but this was just right. The jam tasted fresh and homemade (probably is!) and the white chocolate ganache gave it just a touch of sweetness. It is a little pricey so be warned: $48 for two coffees and two pastries. Definitely worth a splurge!!

This is the first time I've actually…read morevisited the location --- typically when we were working from the office, we'd send our coworker to go pick them up :) We were craving these so decided to make the drive. It's a small little place on Hillsborough Ave, located right in front of the Korean store, Hangook Mart. And may I say if you haven't been here, it's worth the trip. The staff is super friendly too. They have sandwiches, sweets, breads, and empanadas. The empanadas come in chicken (which is what I get), beef or cheese. And don't forget to ask for the sauce...OMG, the sauce. Open your empanada and pour that stuff inside and WHOA!! I've not had their Cuban sandwiches but I will def be back to try one...I'm always on the lookout for a great Cuban. And the best part!? You can eat here REALLY cheap too....the empanadas are handmade and are only $1.25 each. Say what!? Why are you still reading this and not on your way LOL :) I did try the cheese stuffed croissant yesterday and that was just OK...nothing to rave about.

The pumpkin spice is so delicious. She has some that stay around like the NY coffee cake and the Kouign-amann were there both visits. Parking is probably the only con but it's not too bad, just maybe crowded around lunch because of the other foo businesses there. She has a massive star wars collection.

The croissants are not your average-sized croissants--they're huge and come in so many unique flavors. I came specifically for the pistachio, but I also had to try the crème brûlée and the famous almond, which seems to be one of their best sellers. The regular croissants are around $6, while the specialty ones are closer to $10. It may seem a little pricey, but honestly, each one is almost like eating 2 1/2 regular croissants! I also love that they're sourdough-based, which gives them a slightly different texture with a nice chewiness that I really enjoyed. Everything I tried was delicious, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the flavors!

If it was just the bakery, I would give it 5 stars!…read more Very nice location, definitely immediately impressed when you walk in. I ordered the Cuban sandwich $15, a small canoli $3, a small cupcake $3, pineapple muffin $3.95, tres leches $3.95, and a specialty cake big enough for 21 people $45. Bakery items were fairly priced, and were high quality. This bakery knows what they are doing when it comes to this part. Except the tres leche, they don't know what they're doing there. Too dry, needs more of the 3 milks. It's literally supposed to be soaked in that milk concoction. The bakery counter is too tall, so I had to stand on my tippy toes to pay I'm 5' tall. Everyone standing around in no apparent order. There is a ticket system apparently? Once I saw it I grabbed a ticket hoping that would solve the problem. After about 5 minutes I realized they weren't even using it. So other people that were there after me were being taken care of. Then I had to awkwardly make the counter people aware that I needed help. They were very nice though, and prioritized me once they realized. The Cuban sandwich tasted good, but the bread wasn't the best. It was $15 with no sides and it was thin. Yes it's 9", but it's a really narrow 9". I would never order it again. Too expensive, and little value. Kinda mad I spent that much on a little sandwich, but lesson learned! I'm used to a $10 Cuban that is fat and tasty. So yeah, this was a disappointment. Overall I'll be back for the bakery! So many great options, all high quality and nicely put together. Everything else is too expensive and a hard pass.
