This is a must try Taiwanese bakery with fun fusion flavors. Prices are reasonable and their cakes are quality. First off, preorder your cakes here! Ours came with fresh fruit and had some great textures. Don't expect that fake or processed fruit here. The bakery selection is extensive with over 20 items to choose from. The current offer is order 10 different items and get 1 free. We ordered 30 items. Everything from scallion buns, taro bun, pork bun, hot dog bun, pork floss bun, butter filled buns and egg tarts. In todays current market, I cant find a place that has baked goods for this low. The ladies were so sweet to make sure everything was packaged correctly and recommended some goodies as well. Service was quick and the quality is on point. Each bun had plenty of filling. When you enter its a small bakery with limited seating. Highly recommend this local bakery and I'll definitely be back to try their other seasonal treats.
I always come here when I'm in town. They are located in a plaza. I've been coming here for years now. When I first started coming here, they had these fruit cake slices that I liked to get. It was very yummy. I didn't see it this time so they were probably sold out. They had a lot of roll cakes and different flavors. I was glad to get the pandan one since I love pandan cake. The cake itself was cooked perfectly. It was very soft and moist. There's other options for other things as well. They also have drinks.
Ok let me start by saying I LOOOVVEEE me some Asian bakery goods!! That is like my calling!!! So when I Yelped bakeries in the vicinity of my work and came across this oh I was on that so quick! In the car and zoom zoom. It is located right off Waters onto Armenia in a small Asian type plaza. They had advertised boba tea but I was disappointed that they no longer have it. The staff member was extremely sweet, described the goods to us for the ones we were not familiar with. They seemed to be out of a lot or just a limited selection. I knew as soon as I saw the egg tart that was all mine. So I got that and the almond cookie and 2 of the coconut milk custard buns. The egg tart was good, eggy and a slight sweetness with the crust being flaky. Yum. The almond cookie also good. Not overly sweet and not hard but not soft. Had the right amount of crispness. The custard buns were just ok. The bread was soft but the custard was just different from what I've had and used to. Will I be back? Possibly. To definitely try other things. It's so cheap too. Like a little over $1 each.
Satisfies my Asian baked good needs, but I think we came at a time when there wasn't a huge selection. Looking at other people's pictures, I think we just happened to come when they didn't have a lot of variety. We were there at 3 p.m. on a Sunday, which I will admit isn't prime eating time, but since they are open till much later I thought they would stay pretty stocked. They were out of egg tarts, which I read was a hot commodity. We ended up getting a matcha mousse, pork bun, cream bun, milk cream bun, and a buttermilk cream bun. I don't eat pork, so I didn't try that, but I tried everything else. I liked everything enough, but I've been to bakeries that have more variety and taste better. I felt like a majority of the options was the same bread just different filling. However, after seeing other pics I think they were just out of a lot. The matcha mousse had a good matcha flavor. It was more of a cake though. Honestly, I would have liked just the top mousse part and done without the crust! I will definitely come back if I'm in the area to see if there are different options!
Cake was good, cake decorating was amazing and aesthetically pleasing. The people worked at front desk were polite and friendly. Really recommend this place for affordable and delicious cakes.
First timer. This bakery is fantastic! they offer a variety of goods from cookies and cupcakes, cakes and buns. All delicious. I ordered several desserts, including the mango mousse cake, almond cookie, vanilla swirl cake and cupcake. All super delicious. baked just right. We ordered several buns, pork bun, coconut custard bun, butter bun, tarp bun all were absolutely amazing. The buns are baked to perfection. they have a nice golden outside while being soft and moist on the inside. Absolutely wonderful, favorite bakery!
My friend took me here because she knew of a place to satisfy our Chinese baked goods craving. Fortune Star Bakery is in a somewhat run-down plaza, but don't be discouraged! Their buns and sweets are delicious! They run a special like buy 5 buns and get a 6th free, and everything is still fairly priced! One of the best things that I bought from here is their crepe cake! They have different flavors, but I got a slice of the Matcha Oreo... YUM!! It was light and fluffy, and not overly sweet at all. I loved it! I do recommend this great little Chinese bakery with lots of different confections to satisfy any appetite.
Sad to leave a 2 star review but it wasn't good! I had high hopes since most yelpers gave rave reviews on this place. Fortune Star bakery is located off of Armenia. It's in a plaza surrounded by other restaurants and stores. There are plenty of parking spaces available. The bakery had some booths available but there was no one there when I arrived. The staff weren't the best at explaining things and rushed me to make a decision. I ordered couple of things, slice of fruit cake, sausage and cheese bun, pineapple bun and custard bun. Sausage and cheese were our favorite. Sweet bun with glazed Chinese sausages, melted cheese and spring onions. Very very good!! Fruit cake was decent, very light. Thin layer of fruit cocktail in the middle, wished it was regular fruits. Custard and pineapple bun was our least favorite. Custard was so inedible I couldn't keep it down. It tasted grimy and had a horrible taste. Pineapple bun wasn't pineapply. No pineapple taste, no filling, no taste. Disappointed! Overall, I had such high hopes but it wasn't good. Maybe I went at a bad time? Not sure.

The cake I ordered was a decorative cake. The moon shaped piece was 10 in and the smaller piece was 4 in. The design came out like expected and I really appreciate them for going out of their way to make this work. read more

Definitely a place to stop in Tampa! I love their custard buns and the taro buns are a family favorite! If you like coffee, the coffee roll cake is mandatory. The service is amazing and they will help you with any items you're looking for. read more

I love me some Asian bakery goodies. There's a bakery I go back to in Gainesville that have some pretty great options, but my all-time favorite is the pineapple bun. So you better believe I got super excited when I found this little gem. This Asian bakery is set in an Asian influenced shopping plaza with a seafood restaurant and food market neighboring each other. So I was excited to be exposed to some truly authentic Asian bakery cuisine. Family owned, I was shocked to see how ridiculously inexpensive the goodies were. We were able to get at least six pasties for $7!!!!! A steal, if you ask me! The pastries themselves were Huuuugeee as well and pretty tasty. I will admit that I do prefer the pastries at the bakery in Gainesville, but the price does not compare. I definitely support this nice establishment and hope to come again! read more
I'll keep this short, really. Little (literal) gem in the suburb of Tampa, located in a quiet plaza. This bakery has really good (read:yummy) pastries, buns, and cakes of the Asian variety. Nothing is overly sweet and cloy, and made fresh every day. Coming from an Asian background with plenty of options back home, this was a breath of fresh air to be found in FL. I highly recommend! The prices for the pastries are also really fair, and you get really tasty treats so why are you still here waiting? Pro tip: reheat some of their pastries like the egg tarts in a toaster oven for an even yummier experience. :) read more
Rare Ethic Food No. 17 I have come to here often because they have oriental bakery. Oriental bakery is different than French or American bakery. Material and ingredients is a lot different. The sweetness is really tone down compared to Latin bakery. Fortune Star is famous fruit sponge cake. It is definitely different than traditional sponge cake. It is fluffy and very lightly sweet. In between the cake layer is the fruit filling. Cool whip topping with very nice and beautiful design. The basic 10" sponge cake is $25. Need minimum one day before order. Average they make 20 cake a day. So call early to order. The different filling such taro filling is extra. Other than their famous cake. They sell cut off pieces if you like to try. The also have Chinese bake bun. They include BBQ pork bun, curry bun, egg custard bun. Other than the bun, they have wife bean cake, sun cake and red bean cake. Go check them out. read more

This is a wonderful bakery! They have a wide variety of traditional Chinese / Asian baked goods, both savory and sweet! The Butter cream buns are wonderful. The scallion and sausage buns are droolworthy! The moon cakes they make for special holidays are scrumptious! Their egg tarts are yummy. The walnut cookies are addictive! Everything I have had here is just delicious. Those that know me, know I am very picky... and this bakery always exceed my expectations in every way. The staff is friendly and helpful too! They no longer make Bubble Tea, even though it is on the sign. Apparently it was not a item that sold well, in that location. Highly recommended! read more
Our second stop on our bakery tour was Fortune Star Oriental Bakery. This one was not on our radar originally, but really was a stand out. The steam buns were phenomenal. We went with a pork bun, milk custard bun, and an egg custard. I also enjoyed a Hong Kong black tea with milk. The two steam buns were amazing. We both agreed we would love to return for more of these and to sample other items. The counter service was very friendly and she helped us understand what was offered if we had any questions. Overall, a great visit and highly recommended. read more

Solid, decent Asian baked goods. They have a nice assortment of sweet and savory pastries as well as sponge cakes and crepe cakes. If you shop at MD Oriental Market, you'll see that the pastries they have in the back of the store carries desserts and buns from Fortune Star. The sweet pastries are a lot less sweet compared to other bakeries which is a nice change from regular grocery store desserts. The cakes here are light and fluffy and you can get different flavors that you wouldn't find in a non-Asian bakery. The savory pastries are also really delicious. My favorite is the crispy pork bun which is like a puff pastry filled with delicious roast pork filling. The prices are low too so if you stop by, you can try a little bit of everything without breaking the bank! Come earlier in the day for more variety of pastries to choose from! read more

The prices are lower than other chinese bakery. Buns are good, so as the egg tarts. The crepe cake is not really all crepes, a good portion of the bottom is cake, so that is a let down. read more

Not as good as some of the Chinese style bakeries in Orlando, but this is the only one that I can find in Tampa. So, you will find me here once every weekend. It is conveniently located in the same plaza as Din Ho Market and China Yuan, right around the corner from Yummy House and Got Tea on Waters. Everything is baked on premises and they also package and ship to local markets. Also, most items are under $2.00 for individual sized buns and confections. It would be something that you could eat for dessert or for breakfast. The case in the back has cheesecake slices and creamy items. Then, the main case is filled with bun or roll style cake or bread items. The top of the case always has Chinese style sliced loafs of breads of the sweet variety, to make toast. If you are a sweet bean, taro, or coconut fiend like me, then this is definitely the place for you. Their Coconut Powder bun is amazing and so is their Taro Roll. The items can keep up to 3 days and still seem fresh if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge, then heated in the toaster oven or microwave (toaster preferred). You will not find nutritional info on any of these products, even the pre-packed ones: so just suspect that it is fattening, deal with it, and move on. Don't be expecting the best of service. The counter service expects you to know exactly what you want as soon as you enter the shop and don't like to wait for you to make up your mind. So read quickly and hope you pick the right thing in a rush. read more

This is my favorite Oriental Bakery in Tampa. They have been around for 25+ years and I always come in and get a dozen of different delicious baked goods. My favorite is the pig in the blankets, pork, bun, egg custard, and the list goes on! This place is truly a hidden gem located in Tampa. You won't be disappointed. read more
