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.

The empanadas were perfectly seasoned and packed with delicious fillings. And don't even get me started on the pastries, they're fresh, flaky, and absolutely amazing. The best part? The prices are incredibly reasonable, especially for the quality and generous portions you receive.

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!

The service is everything, every person I've ever dealt with here has been very welcoming and generally tend to remember us when we come in :) Make sure to get there pretty early, as they do tend to sell out of all the popular desserts and there's always open street parking in front of the shop in you go early :)

I had the coffee croissant donut, and it was dynamite. My son tore through his seasonal donut like he hadn't eaten in days -- he literally gave it "100 out of 10," so I think that speaks for itself. We all had coffee, and my pumpkin spice latte was solid. No complaints from any of us. Actually, the only "complaint" is that if we lived closer, we'd probably be broke from coming here too often. Overall, great pastries, great coffee, fresh ingredients, and a fun little spot to treat yourself. Staff was super helpful and friendly!

There's a huge variety in the bakery section, so give yourself a little time to look around before deciding! There's also much more than baked goods: a savory food section, sandwiches, ice cream, a coffee shop, and even a bar. I liked how much variety there was, whether you're stopping in for a meal, something sweet, or a drink. The Halloween cakes caught my attention right away. They were so well decorated that I almost bought one, even though I had absolutely no reason to get a cake. I ended up trying the caramel and peanut cheesecake instead, and it was delicious and tasted fresh. Definitely a highlight of the visit. Great service from the people at the bakery area. There was also live music, with a guy playing guitar and singing, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Between the selection, the clean space, and the music, it was a lovely stop. I'd happily come back to try more.

Sooooo Goood! 100% would get a again but next time (and there will be a next time assuming my employer decides I need a future business trip) I think I would choose the combo option with a smaller sandwich, drink and pastry for the full experience.

It's vanilla soft serve mixed with chunks of their delicious salted Nutella chocolate chip cookies, topped with more of their salted chocolate chip cookies & a Nutella drizzle. I've tried almost everything on their menu, and this has been my personal favorite to order every time I am there! Think -- a less mixed blizzard with cookie & Nutella globs to eat mainly with a spoon and both a straw for when it begins to melt. The store itself is adorable. Think pink neon lighting, velvet pink couches with fun cookie pillows, and a fun wall for photo opportunities. Recently they also added a super fun Photo Booth outside of their store! They even have a succulent in an ice cream cone shaped pot and a pink street sign on their wall that says "Bake'n Babes". It's all about the little details, and they did a phenomenal job decorating! I love that they have self service touch screens! Usually a staff member is present at the front and helps answer any questions you may have about the menu which is awesome! One recommendation would be to have a button in case you need anyone from the back, and to put the thermostat to be a little less chilly (I'm sure there's a reason for this!). Otherwise perfection!! I have been here probably about 20 times or more, and highly recommend!

I ended up only using half the syrup so I always add it myself. I also got the tangerine juice. Their juice is freshly squeezed, but at $10. It is on the more expensive side. That being said, the juice was delicious. We started with a spanakopita, their phyllo dough is so buttery and flaky. It is very rich but very good. And for my main, I got the octopus salad and added a feta block. Next time I would ask for it without bell pepper and without feta (which is $5 extra). The octopus and the other vegetables are absolutely delicious and I felt very healthy eating it. We came at 10 AM on a Friday and even though I made a reservation we really didn't need to. They have a parking lot that's further down the street which makes it convenient to eat here. The decor is beautiful. They have a large outside area so just to be on the safe side if you do want to sit inside, make sure you make a reservation. Service is always fantastic. I always bring people who come in from out of town here, because I know them meal will be good.
