    Back at our favorite bakery. We got our usual goodies. Red bean bun, onion pastry, pork sung bun, custard pineapple cake, and etc. Service is fine. Cash only.

    Auntie always brings these when she comes to visit. Yummy custard buns and coconut buns!

    So so egg tart with soggy greasy shell
    Lorissa W.

    I knew before coming back to Cherry blossom that the egg tarts were not the way they used to be. We got here this morning and my husband ordered four eight tarts and I immediately ate my warm egg tart. It was not as good as it used to be. The crust was soggy and tasted only of grease. The egg custard itself was not custardy but had just a sweet plain egg flavor. A good egg custard tart should have a flakey non-greasy crust and a rich custardy flavor. Their egg custard tarts had no soul. We will not be getting our egg tarts from here anymore.

    Pineapple bun: top is hollow. We ate this one inside the store.

    Came here to get some buns after Thanksgiving lunch with the family. Egg tart: excellent! Flaky crust and a warm, creamy, thick custard. Pineapple bun: extremely disappointing. The "pineapple crust" was lackluster and the top was hollow, causing it to collapse/cave in with very little bun underneath. One of the worst I've had. Cash only

    pinneaple bun

    Solid chinese bakery in Richmond, I believe its cash only. Super affordable. My routine is strawberry matcha down the street and then pick up bread here. I've tried a number of items here- raisin, pinneaple, hot dog, custard, red bean black sesame, etc. Everything here has been very good and its fresh. My personal favorites have been pinneaple bun (they have minis as well) and the red bean black sesame.

    Stumbled into Cherry Blossom Bakery while walking around Richmond after lunch. The lady behind the counter was quick, and efficient. And the bakery was bright with natural sunshine from their large windows. They have a bunch of baked goodies on display. Seeing they had egg tarts, I bought a few. Also bought banana rolls, because it's a childhood nostalgic sweet treat. I brought them home and their tarts were still warm! The custard was soft and creamy and the crust was flakey! Like most egg tarts, they weren't too sweet. Though reading other reviews, the tarts are inconsistent. I thought the crust was flakey, while others have said it wasn't flakey. Maybe I got a new batch that just came out of the oven. If it was in the fridge, I would heat it up in the toaster oven for it to taste better. And the banana rolls were also good and chewy and not as sweet as the ones I used to get in Chinatown. I'd rather have it less sweet than too sweet. You get 3 for $4.25. Glad I stopped by and grabbed my favorites! If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to get more of these yummy egg tarts and possibly try other pastries. 4/5

    I was so sad I only discovered this bakery on my last day here. Came in the AM and everything was freshly baked and you can definitely tell since everything feels light and fluffy and some buns were still warm. My favorites were the pineapple custard bun and BBQ pork bun. I will definitely be back to try more next chance I get! They have a few tables/spots to sit at, but I imagine it'd be hard to get a spot at prime breakfast times. FYI cash only

    I've been eating a lot of these pastries recently, but Cherry Blossom Bakery does stand out in service and taste! On a weekday afternoon, my friends and I were welcomed into the bakery and had a wide selection of pasties to choose from. We grabbed almost a dozen pineapple buns with some other miscellaneous pastries, including their BBQ Pork Puff Pastry and Sponge Cake. The BBQ Pork Puff Pastry was flaky and crispy, and the pork filling inside was quite delicious! The Sponge Cake also had a good texture, being light and not too dense. I'd love to try one of their other pastries in the future!

    Tucked away in the city, this bakery is a reliable and comforting spot for fresh, traditional Chinese pastries. It's the kind of place that doesn't rely on flash or trendiness. Just solid, consistent quality and a warm, familiar atmosphere. The aunty who runs it is incredibly kind, often chatting with regulars while handling the counter with care. There's a real sense of pride in how the pastries are made and displayed, with everything neatly arranged and looking like it came straight out of a home kitchen that's been doing this for generations. Their strength is in the classics. The soft buns filled with BBQ pork, coconut, custard, and hot dog are done just right. Pillowy, balanced in flavor, and never overly sweet or oily. These are the kinds of baked goods that transport you back to childhood bakery runs. One item that stands out every time is the banana mochi. It has the perfect chewy texture, with a gentle banana flavor that lingers just enough without being overpowering. It's something both me and my brother always look forward to, and it holds up well even after a day if you want to save it for later. Prices here are inexpensive and feel right for what you're getting with their generous portions, well-made pastries, and a bit of nostalgia all rolled into one. Compared to other Chinese bakeries in the city, it's competitive without cutting corners. Street parking is your only option, and while it can take a few minutes, it's rarely a dealbreaker. If you're looking for a spot that does the basics really well and makes you feel at home, this place is worth the stop. Plus there are a bunch of other restaurants and cafes nearby so you can hit a few and do some errands as well.

    This bakery has such an assortment of goods. We walked in on a Friday afternoon. The pineapple custard buns were great -- the right amount of filling and crust was tasty. The pork buns tasted a bit old / stale and the inside had too much fat in the interior.

    Jennifer T.

    Their mooncakes are so yummy! It tasted fresh and softer than the store bought ones. No need for the preservative packets. I've never tried freshly baked mooncakes until now. It definitely tastes much better. It comes with 4 plastic bags to put the mooncakes in if you need to bring it somewhere.

    Ham and egg bun
    Hope L.

    This place has such good buns! I got the mini pork buns and the ham and egg buns. The pork buns were super tasty and filling as they had a pretty good amount of meat. It was a bit doughy but I like that texture! The ham and egg buns was amazing. The egg was so fluffy and soft and melted in my mouth. I do wish there was a bit more ham but overall it was delicious. I would come back!

    Philip W.

    I typically come here when I am in the area. The lady who greets me has always been friendly, and I like that they make the smaller pork buns. The egg tarts are great because of the flaky crust. Milk tea has a lot of flavor, and it is not the powdered stuff that people use for boba drinks. They have some seats to sit down for those who like to just enjoy their egg tarts over a cup of milk tea while enjoying that bakery smell.

I arrived at the bakery before it opened on a weekend morning, and there were already a couple of brave souls in line. I waited only about 25 minutes for the bakery to open, and once doors officially opened to customers, I was in and out in no time with my fresh pastries in hand. I enjoyed my almond croissant as soon as I got back home, and now I fully understand why Arsicault is at the top of everyone's SF bakery list. The almond croissant was still warm, the inside struck the perfect balance between fluffy and gooey (from the almond paste), and the exterior was nicely crisped. The almond filling is super rich and decadent yet not overly sweet. I also noticed - and appreciate - how Arsicault's almond croissant doesn't include toasted almonds on top, since these can often get over-baked and taste bitter. I definitely agree this is one of the best pastries in SF now.

    It's been a little over a year since my first time trying B&C, and things have definitely changed…read moresince then--in a good way! I definitely feel like the team implementing the 7:45AM start time to line up has helped a lot. Not only is it better for the neighbors, but it also makes the whole experience feel a lot less chaotic compared to showing up super early and scrambling to get in line. Everything feels much calmer and organized now. As for the pastries: To be honest, it really depends on what you like. I'm one that gravitates towards pretty much anything with meat and chocolate. Because of that, most of their savory/meaty and creamy pastries are always a must for me. They're super flaky, flavorful and decadent. You can really tell how much time and effort they put into making everything as high quality as possible, especially since you can see them making everything from the window while waiting in line. All in all, I think there's been a lot of improvement over the past year with some trial and error. Their pastries have always been delicious and I personally think it's worth the wait. I recommend getting to the area closer to 7:45AM so you have a better chance of being towards the front of the line. If not, it's still better to come before opening, I just wouldn't recommend getting there right before they open. By then it's not guaranteed that you'll get everything you want since they do run out depending on how many people are there.

I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in! We tried the ube twice-baked croissant, ham and cheese croissant, curry potato bourek, and the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant.

The savory pastries were packed with flavor, and the ube croissant struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering. I also love that they offer unique pastries you don't find at most bakeries. The café itself is small and cozy, and the staff were warm and friendly. It's usually packed, but we arrived at the perfect time and were able to grab everything we wanted before they sold out. We'll definitely be back to try more of their delicious pastries!

It's not much, more of a storefront with 2 tables outside but they have all the pastries. This place has the best mushroom tart ever. It has a generous amount of mushrooms but is not overpowering.

I really wish they had a website where you can see the establishments where they sell the pastries. Dogpatch is kinda BFE for many people but great to stop by if you live in Portrero Hill, Mission Bay, or are doing something at UCSF or the Chase Center.

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet. They had some savory options that were sold out when we visited and we would definitely visit again to try those and more items from the menu. We can see why this spot is so popular.
