I went to this bakery for the viral mochi that kept showing up on my FYP. I got a mochi and a bao. The bao was tasty, but definitely on the pricier side. I had pretty high expectations for the mochi because of how much I had seen it online, but honestly, it wasn't anything too special. It tasted pretty much exactly like the ice cream mochi you can get at the grocery store. I'm glad I tried it, but I probably wouldn't go back just for the mochi. read more

My husband and I dropped by on a Wednesday afternoon around 3pm during a heat wave and their mango mochi ice cream was exactly what we needed! The bakery itself isn't very big, but we were the only ones there at the time so there was no wait to order or receive our dessert. There's also no seating inside, so we just stood off to the side and finished our ice cream before leaving. We ordered the vanilla ice cream with mango mochi topped with coconut and it was SO delicious! I honestly thought about coming back again the very next day lol. Unfortunately, we're not locals to Boston, but I still think about this place from time to time and would definitely make another stop here if we ever return to the city! read more

Came because I saw the viral mochi ice cream on a Saturday where the line was already out of the door. The store is underground and really small so I would suggest coming early or off times to beat the line. They were out of mango ice cream so I ended up getting the strawberry ice cream to pair with the mango and mochi. It takes about 5-10 minutes for them to prepare. You can see the ladies in the back of the restaurant and they call your number once they are done making it. The mochi is fresh and pairs great with the fruit. I can see what the hype is about! There are other pastries that I wanted to try so I definitely will be coming back to try the cakes and bread! read more

I heard about this bakery from social media recommendations of its customizable fresh mochi cups and was not disappointed. The inside was new, clean, and well-organized, with choices of pre-packaged breads, desserts, and mooncakes on display and an order-at-the-counter menu for their customizable mochi. Employees were constantly rolling out fresh baked goods from the kitchen and packaging them right in front of us (behind the counter), so you know goods were super fresh. I got two breads to try and both were fantastic: * The scallion bread was infused with fragrant scallion flavor and was light and soft and fluffy. * The taro bread was also light and soft and fluffy, and had a lightly sweet (not too sweet!) taro paste woven throughout. Since I have a sweet tooth, this was my favorite. The prices here are slightly higher than some nearby bakeries, but it seems like the quality and freshness is there to back it up. I didn't see any prepackaged mochi when I went, but am definitely hoping to try some on my next visit! Checkout was smooth and fast. They have a $10 minimum for using credit card. read more

I came here for the viral mochi ice cream, and it was pretty good! It isn't anything groundbreaking. It is exactly as you expect it to be. Since it is viral, it got crowded really quick, But the service was fast despite it. I would say, though, I feel the ice cream messed up the mochi texture a bit. I would opt to go for the cream cheese filling next time. read more

It's not easy to find Asian style pretzels in the US, but I found them in Boston, in black sesame and pork floss & salted egg yolk flavors! And of course, I had to grab ALL the black sesame baked goods to try alongside. The staff even joked that they could tell I really love black sesame because I got so many lol. Located in the heart of Boston Chinatown, Golden Crust Bakery just opened this summer and has already gone viral for their super stretchy mochi ice cream. But don't sleep on their HUGE selection of freshly baked Asian-style breads and desserts, from salt bread and soft Euro bread (軟歐) to mango mochi, mini whole cakes, cream rolls, and so much more! I just wish I could smuggle all of them back to NYC... ＊Black Sesame Pretzel 黑芝麻鹼水包 Both pretzels were fresh out of the oven when I got them! It's softer and more spongy than a regular pretzel. The black sesame filling is nutty, slightly grainy, and not too sweet, almost like milk crumble (奶酥). ＊Salted Egg Yolk & Pork Floss Pretzel 鹹蛋黃肉鬆鹼水包 I loved the combo of savory pork floss and salted egg yolk. If I had to nitpick, I just wish the filling was spread more evenly instead of being concentrated on one side. ＊Black Sesame Bread 黑芝麻麵包 The bread is pillowy soft, light, and fluffy. The black sesame paste is evenly spread throughout, while the bread itself tastes like "piggy buns" (sesame bread rolls/豬仔包) I grew up getting from Cantonese bakeries. *Black Sesame Mini Mooncake 黑芝麻迷你月餅 They have mini mooncakes in different flavors for Mid-Autumn Festival! I was told these are all freshly baked in-house, with flavors like lotus paste, purple sweet potato (I regretted not getting this one), pineapple, and red bean. read more

The mango mochi lived up to the hype!!! I got the mango mochi with coconut ice cream and butter biscuit crust and it was sooooo good! Loved the soft but chewy mochi and it paired so well with mango + coconut. Wish there were more and bigger pieces of mango but still good! At almost $8 per mochi, I think it was a decent size - good enough to share for 2 people, but can also be finished by 1! read more

Yum! We came here to try the fresh mochi balls and absolutely loved them! You can choose a filling of either ice cream or cream cheese, a fruit, and toppings and they wrap the filling in fresh stretchy mochi. I got one with mango and strawberry ice cream and butter biscuit crumbs on the outside. This was so so yummy and the texture of the stretchy chewy mochi was just perfect. The ice cream and mango added sweetness and I really liked the biscuit crumbs too which gave it a nice crunch. Overall this was surprisingly not too sweet or heavy even with the ice cream and they do pack in a lot in the mochi ball. I also got my sister a mochi with matcha cream cheese and strawberry to go and she loved it! read more

I saw videos of the mochi ice cream at Golden Crust Bakery and knew I had to stop by while I was in Boston's Chinatown! They have a variety of Chinese baked goods and pastries, but the mochi was what caught my attention. They have several flavors to choose from and make it fresh to order. I got the strawberry mochi with strawberry ice cream, topped with rice flour. It was fresh, chewy, and a fun sweet treat, especially since it's not something you see everywhere. It's $8 for one, so probably not something I'd get regularly, but I'd definitely come back to try some of their other pastries! There's no seating, but they have a small bar table in the front where you can stand and eat. read more

Golden Crust Bakey - Strawberry mochi ice cream (topped with rice flour) - Bakeries Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Very yummy! I decided to go in after eating dinner in Chinatown, this place is a popular spot since they have that famous mochi thing. Once I got settled in line I ordered the mochi ice cream with Oreo ice cream, strawberry filling and butter biscuit crust. After ordering I waited maybe 7 min for my dessert? If you plan on waiting inside you're probably gonna wait shoulder to shoulder with other people. This dessert was so fun to eat, perfect size for two people if you want to share a dessert. read more

this is lovely and cute new bakery addition to Chinatown!! inside is surprisingly spacious and the selection of bread and cakes is expansive. i wanted to go bc i saw they have salt bread and was pleasantly surprised to see a garlic butter version of it too!! I picked up both the plain and garlic as well as a mango bagel and sausage bun. it was on the pricier side ($26 for everything) but definitely worth the money. the salt bread was super rich and buttery and the bagel was nice and fluffy! I think they have drinks too, but I was too mesmerized by the bread to check. Checkout was super fast and workers are very nice! can't wait to be back to try more!!!! read more

I'm so sad I couldn't visit this spot twice on my vacation because it was just that good the mochi was so chewy and soft that one of us thought it was cheese at first! I ordered the mochi ice cream on the right - it's Strawberry Fruit, Strawberry Ice Cream, and Butter Biscuit topping. I loved the butter biscuit topping, it was like having crumbled ice cream wafer cone on top. The bakery itself was small and a line of 5-7 people on Wednesday evening took about 15 min wait to receive my order (most people ordered the same mochi ice cream). I only saw stairs going down to the entrance, so it doesn't seem handicap accessible. There's one small counter to stand and eat at. read more

Golden Crust Bakey - Mochi Strawberry Ice Cream with Strawberry Fruit and Butter Biscuit Topping - Bakeries Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Spectacular new bakery that took over sweet waffles and boba space. I came after dinner on a weeknight and there was surprisingly still full shelves of pastries, bread, and cakes. Slightly on the pricier side, but so many options made it difficult to choose. I ended up getting the garlic bread salt bread, black sesame bun, and a taro mochi bun. They were all pretty good. The Japanese salt bread was light and fluffy, but different than the Korean style salt bread. The black sesame was filled with tons of black sesame paste. My favorite out of the bunch was the taro mochi as it mochi balls and the soft bread made a great combo together. I'll definitely have to come back to try out the other pastries. They also have mochi ice cream that I would love to get as well. read more

Stopped by because my girlfriend was craving salt bread suddenly. This happened to be one of the few spots offering it around Boston. Minimum of $10 needed for credit card usage. Typical Asian bakery interior with a small little window ledge that works as a place to eat. Nice service with the kids working a little bit (classic Asian things). Salt Bread - for what it's worth, this satisfied my girlfriend's cravings and did so the next day as well. I still think the trendy bread is interesting, but I suppose it is tasty as a buttery, salty indulgence. Fluffy on the inside with a perfect light crisp shell. Pineapple Bun - a traditional bolo bao but more of the Japanese melon pan style where the crust isn't super flaky and is flatter. Would prefer more of the traditional pineapple top as it has more flavor and texture! read more

Small little bakery on Hudson Ave in Chinatown. It's a little more upscale compared to the older traditional bakeries in the area. I saw the mochi on Instagram and knew I had to try it out. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of cream cheese so I got mango as my fruit with pistachio ice cream and rice flour. I don't think they make the ice cream in house, but the quality was pretty good. My total came to be roughly $8 after tax. There wasn't as much mango as I had hoped, but it was very sweet and I loved how soft the mochi wrapper was, with the cold ice cream a nice sweet complement especially during a Boston heat wave. After checking out I saw that they had a good variety of breads (think hot dog buns, scallion bread, pork floss, almond, taro, the usual) for a decent price. I also saw they had prepackaged mochi that I would try next time. Four mini ones were $6. I will return! read more

Came in on Saturday night and the line was out the door, though it went quick. There were many bakery items that I want to come back to try but I had the mochi this time. I had the mango with yuzu cream cheese and I highly recommend that combo. There are also ice cream options available. The mochi itself was chewier than what I'm used to but was very delicious and not too sweet. There was plenty of filling though a lot of the mochi is concentrated towards the bottom. Still a must try if you're in the area read more

I came to try their viral house-made mochi ice cream. It was so so good and fresh! The workers are very friendly- be patient with them because it can get very busy and it's a small business! There are other cute pastries that I will definitely try sometime. read more

Taro with Almond pastry was 5/5. And the 3pk roll with garlic was 5/5, was even good not toasted! I would give this place 5/5 but they did mess up our mochi ice cream (did cream cheese instead of ice cream). I would have told them but they were SO BUSY. Ambiance was hectic and crowded but good for them! read more

We got to try some fresh mochi from Golden Crust Bakey & I have to say, their mochi was delicious! Golden Crust Bakey is a new bakery that open in Chinatown, right where Sweet Waffle once was. We tried their mango mochi & sesame mochi. I'll be honest, I'm not really that into mochi usually... unless it's mochi ice cream LOL. BUT I have to admit, they were pretty good. My favorite was the mango! It had fresh mango pieces inside & tasted super fresh + not too sweet at all. They did not over do the flavoring, which I appreciate, because sometimes I feel like when things taste too sweet, I get really tired of eating it. I liked their mochi, as they seemed to not put too many extra ingredients, which allows the fruit to really shine. Sesame mochi had red bean filling, which also wasn't too sweet & just right. Tasted actually quite refreshing. After indulging in these desserts, it didn't feel heavy. More like a light snack! I would totally come back again and try more. read more

Fam grabbed some treats for us after waiting and experiencing the new Teso Life in Downtown. What I liked about these Mochi treats was that they are NOT overly sweet, good filling, and don't have that artificial taste. Mango mochi nice soft chew, fresh mango filling in the center! Sesame mochi - smooth easy bites with sesame and red bean flavors coming thru. Again not sweet thankfully. The kiddos had mochi with ice cream, they enjoyed it on their faces, shirts, laps... yup haha read more

I've never had FRESH mochi before, and it is life changing. Stopped here for dessert before leaving the city, it was a Sunday night so they didn't have a huge selection of the breads and baked goods available, but still had a lot of cakes and mochi and treats in the other cases. We picked up a mango mochi, and also ordered fresh made mochi. We chose strawberry filling, with coconut ice cream and crunch topping. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best mochi I've had in my life. The freshness of the dough! The stretch! The gooey-ness! YUM. Adding it to my list of places I have to stop when I'm in Boston. read more

Another Asian Bakery in Chinatown. Grand opening, no tax for purchase. The place is clean and organize. All bread are individually wrap and the bread still soft next day without heating it but some of the fillings are too sweet. Will come back again. read more

Most of the bakeries left in Chinatown are mediocre at best ever since the original Eldo cake house and Hing Sing Bakery closed. Now this place~~ The hype from the TikToks is legit as I found my new go-to for delicious baked goods in Chinatown! Good selections of breads, cakes and cookies. I always try to get a classic pineapple bun, another different bakery item like the tuna sandwich bun or pork sung bun and get a Swiss cake roll for my folks. The custom filled mochi treats people feature on TikTok can be pretty filling (at least for me) but made fresh on the spot with interesting yummy flavors. I would recommend trying some of their baked goods if you visit Boston's Chinatown. read more

A lot of the labeling for buns was wrong. Bought a few based on the shelf label and it was not accurate. Also, some of the bun recipes were off. For example, I tried one that had cocoa powder on top but inside filling was like savory mayo with walnuts. Weird. read more

We stopped to check it out to see why there was a long line. We were looking for egg tarts which we did not notice but I bought some mango mochi to bring home for my daughter. She really enjoyed it the texture of the mochi and the filling. read more

You have to try the fresh mochi ice cream! Super cute bakery and the staff was very nice.

Very unethical bakery shop. They switched from no tip to automatically charge 8% tip off my credit card without my authorization.

Definitely my new favorite bakery. They have a great selection of both classic snd creative baos. The staff were extremely nice and knowledgeable. The baos and mochi are delicious. I will definitely be back to try some of the different baos. read more

A new Asian bakery store located in the heart of Chinatown. This place took over Bubble Waffle location and it's nice to see something new that's other than a bubble tea store even though this place does serve that as well. But, I didn't opt for that. Instead, I got the crusted pork bun, custard bun, and the cream cheese mochi bun. I'm a huge fan for pork buns and this place SLAPS hard. The custard bun, GAS! As for the mochi bun, different, but good. I will be going back to try their other option. Credit card/tap to pay is another option if you don't carry cash. read more
