After over a decade here, the bakery closed Saturday, February 28, 2026. The owners will probably take a break before making decisions on their future. There is talk about pop-ups in the Sugar Land area featuring their most popular dishes. Another vegetarian business will be taking over. That owner has a proven track record! He owned a popular vegetarian restaurant down the street called Pine Forest. Looking forward to visiting the new vegetarian place! read more

IBUN Bakery - Blueberry bun and strawberry bread - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decided to introduce Asian sponge cakes to a new group and was impressed with their vegan selection. I ordered over the phone. You need to pay in advance by sending $$ via Zelle: $xxx to ibunbakery@gmail.com. The name will be Hungmei if you typed the email address correctly. In the memo type the phone number you told them when you placed the order. I ordered the vegan black forest cherry cake. 8 inch since it's 8 people. Cake was moist. Not too sweet. Love the fresh fruits on top. Cherry was in the middle. Blueberries and strawberries were on top. Unfortunately we ate the cake and no pictures were taken - only videos. But I will order from them again! read more

I love the vibe and service over there!! The bread is very cheap and really affordable! Everything is vegan or vegetarian I believe so it's really vegan vegetarian Come and enjoy Cheers read more

Awesome vegetarian and vegan place. Affordable and tastes great! The curry pork bun was great. The prepped meals are fast and good

Located in the Dynasty Plaza, I Bun Bakery specializes in vegan and vegetarian baked goods and food. They had fresh baked goods in the middle table, dried and packaged goods along the walls, and cooked food on the shelves. This place is also pretty popular for their Asian cakes and had samples at the front counter to view. Prices are decent and there were quite a few options to choose from. read more

We stopped by here today on a whim; after eating at a place nearby, we took a short walk inside the old Dynasty Plaza mall, since my husband has childhood memories of the dojo that used to be there. IBUN is in the small part of the mall space that still has stores, and it's small but inviting - a chalk sign outside says everything is Vegetarian or Vegan. We only picked up a baked vegan pork bun this time - to split, since my husband's watching his carb intake - but not only was the quality great, it was an absolute steal at just $1.50. The bread is incredibly soft and light, and vegetarian "pork" filling is extremely convincing in both taste and texture - it's tender and not too chewy, and just a little oily, like real pork would be. And they don't skimp on it, either - the filling goes all the way to the edge. Next time we're in the area we'll definitely come back and try more things, but if first impressions are important, IBUN left an excellent one. We'll be sure to keep this in mind, especially if our family members with allergies to eggs and milk are in town. read more

This is my favorite bakery ever! Every time I'm in Bellaire, I make sure to go here. When you arrive to the mall, you'll have to go nearby the escalators on the first floor to reach IBUN. There's some seating if you'd like to eat there. The differences between vegetarian and vegan dishes are the V. Everything here is vegetarian, and everything marked with V is vegan. I always get my birthday parties catered by IBUN because their savory and sweet food is wonderful! It's loved by my vegetarian, vegan, and non-veggie family and friends alike. Be sure to take a look at the bakery stand, shelves on the left, the two refrigerators adjacent to the register, and the freezer on the right past the seating! They have a drink menu too. Their prices are so wonderful, and I've been a customer here for years. It's such a wonderful family owned bakery. The customer service is always kind! read more

Great place for a quick lunch! Lots of options under the lunch box menu including a vegan duck fried rice. A ton of vegan baked goods to choose from as well as some tasty fruit teas to go with it. The ambiance is nothing to write home about. It's a small little place inside of a mini mall. But it's well worth a trip to Chinatown for all the vegetarian folks out there. read more

I went on a hunt for vegan desserts near me and iBun popped up. I noticed all the 5 star reviews and decided to give it a chance. Generally, I am a fan of Asian bakeries (red bean anything); however, I was concerned that I would not be able to decipher any of the offerings there because it is located in China Town and I noticed in the pictures much of the wording is in Chinese/Mandarin. Good news though, most of the items have been translated into English. If not, the wonderful staff will take their time to explain to you what it is. I was informed that everything with a "V" on it is actually vegan, woo-hoo! I bought the taro mochi, blueberry jam pastry, and vegan strawberry cake. All of which are marked as vegan. Taro mochi - this was made on the spot for me. It was pretty good. I preferred the filling the most. However, I do not think the mochi had enough time to rest and chill since it was made to order. B Vegan strawberry cake - it was frozen when I bought it. The staff recommended I let it thaw for an hour, but that some guests like it frozen because it tastes like ice cream. I tried to consume it frozen but it was inedible. The strawberries were just too hard. After thawing an hour, it was still unpleasant to eat. After several hours, it was now edible. I enjoyed the cream filling, but wished the strawberries were cut smaller. They were just halved. The cake itself is like a shortbread. It really needed more filling or some type of sauce. C+ Blueberry jam pastry - I was informed that the blueberry jam is made in-house and this is a popular item. I understand why this item is popular. By far the best item I had that day. It was fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely buy this again. A The sweet staff also explained to me their lunch boxes and that it is best to call in and order in advance because they are made to order and take about 20 minutes to prepare. The parking lot gets full, so plan accordingly but a great place to get vegan desserts and savory bites as well. read more

The food here is really good and everything that's vegan is labelled with a "v" on the tag. Every item I've tried has been delicious! I really enjoyed the turtle mochi with the red bean filling and the bbq "pork" buns. So good! It's a blessing and a curse it's far from me because I'd eat there everyday whivh would probably be too much. read more

Recommend? Yes!!! This place had the Vietnamese pastry I've been missing a lot. It's a bun that has a hint of sweetness, "pork" floss on top, and the creamy green onion oil (?) It truly was a treat as a vegan. I also got the sweet cream pastry. I found the cream was very sweet and the pastry a bit on the dry side for this particular one. read more

I've been coming here for nearly a year now and I enjoy almost everything they make especially their Laksa noodle soup modified with mushrooms + additional fresh chili peppers - it's my go to vegan dish. Typically I order that with their red bean + in house plant based (soy) milk with NO sugar added. Along with their coconut tart as my mini vegan sweet treat. All their items are mainly vegan with the exception of some that are vegetarian. They do NOT sell meat products there at all. My only hiccup at IBUN is the music they play is very loud. PLEASE consider lowering the volume. Thanks for your consideration. read more

My o my! Phenomenal Taiwanese baked goods, tons of delicious vegan options! I am beyond grateful that my wife found this joint! This is definitely one to put in the books for routine visits! We took home frozen vegan wontons, put them in pho, along with steamed & pan-fried! The baked goods were fresh, and the prices are excellent! Can't wait to go back! COVID Notes -Social distance & masks required. -Customer service was delightful, safe, and helpful -Ordering was effortless & smooth -No issues at all. Thank you, IBun Bakery, for all of the Vegan Options! read more

Oh my goodness. Vegetarians and vegans REJOICE! We have IBUN and all will be well again. I have been wanting to check IBUN bakery out for a while after reading other Yelpers' reviews. I finally got myself to brave the traffic and crazy parking lots and it was so worth it. IBUN is located inside the mall, so if you're using Google Maps...map to Ding Tea and walk inside the mall once you park. Holy moly, let's talk about their LUNCH SPECIALS. Hello?! Who gets $6 lunch boxes anymore? No one. Except those of us who have discovered the beauty that is IBUN. I got some breads and was excited to try their oyster pancake. However, the kind cashier man said that it'd take around 15 minutes. I didn't have the time to wait, so I went with their faux minced pork over rice dish. It was SO GOOD. It tasted honestly just like rou zhao fan. I was shook. It really was authentic Taiwanese bento food. I can't wait to come back and try their other vegetarian dishes like smoked duck and BBQ pork. I love that everything was so affordable, and you can get everything that might remind you of Taiwan...from their milk teas to little mooncakes and breads to lunch items. Score! Pro Tip: There were two popo cars parked in the lot. It's nice to know that there are patrol cars in the parking lot, just in case you decide to go in for a meal or if you're shopping for a while. read more

I tasted steam buns from this place that my cousin gave to me. In the Philippines we call it siopao. It was absolutely delicious! I was blown away when she told me that it was vegan! I couldn't believe it. I microwaved a bun for 30 seconds and the bread was nice and fluffy and the center was a nice umami flavor bomb in my mouth! I wish I lived closer to this bakery. I would be there every week! read more

Yummy desserts. And their vegetarian/vegan too. Woohoo. After seeing a lot of posts on a FB food group, I decided to pop in. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't find it. It's inside Dynasty mall. They sell pastries, snacks, frozen, grab and go items, lunch box type entrees, noodles soups and drinks. Haven't tried the food but the desserts I'm in love with. Went in during Mid Autumn festival so there was a slew of moon cakes and they were delicious. I tried 4 varieties and they were all good. I also picked up their almond cakes which are slices of yumminess. And a blueberry pastry which was very good. I'm definitely going back for some food. The owner suggested calling orders in for pick up because they are made to order. They have a good variety of items and are really helpful and friendly. I am definitely going back! read more

Hello vegans of Houston! If you have not been here yet . . . you really ought to go ahead and jump into your car right now, and head on over. It doesn't matter if you're vegetarian or vegan, go out there and get you some! Coming here has been like a walk down nostalgia lane. I used to heavily imbibe in Chinese pastries as a child. But then I became vegetarian . . . and then vegan. So I reluctantly bid adieu to the red bean baos, mooncakes, etc. Until I randomly searched "vegan" one day after finishing up at the dentists and I was incredulous at first. I mean really, could this truly be an Asian bakery with vegan pastries?!?! Turns out - IBUN pretty much has it all. They have mooncakes for goodness' sake! I can't even remember the last time I had a mooncake! Like nearly two decades ago! There's also savory pastries, with what appears to be soy based faux pork products! Some of the items are just vegetarian and not vegan - look for the "V" to designate vegan items. Everything I've had, and I've had a good sampling of nearly all the vegan products, has been delicious. Omnivores in my life have been been amazed at how un-vegan the pastries look and taste. (Un)fortunately for me, IBUN isn't the closest in proximity to me. But every time I am in the area and IBUN is open, I make it a point to get my Asian pastries fix! read more

Since discovering IBUN Bakery, I've already been back 5+ times (lost count). I have my favorites and not-so favorites. Here's a review of the items tried: FAVORITES: Sponge cupcake: Soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet, this is a MUST MUST MUST. I find myself dreaming about this sponge cupcake and this is the reason I keep going back. Taro Pineapple bun: Taro filling is moist and not overly sweet which goes perfectly well with the sweet, soft pineapple bun. Another MUST. The only problem is that it isn't always available Red bean pineapple bun: Another delicious bun. I would have liked it better if the red bean paste was a bit less sweet, but still very good and would definitely get it again. My not-so favorites: Peanut bun: SUPER DRY. I needed water to wash it down otherwise could barely swallow it. Other reviews have raved about this one, but that was not my experience. I want to say that I got an old batch from their unsold stock from previous day(s). Curry bun: Bleh. I've had my share of faux meat, but there is nothing faux about the "meat" in this one, it tastes exactly like soy. Not a fan. The curry flavor was just ok. Ended up tossing. Matcha swiss roll with red bean + cream filling: Matcha flavor tasted artificial. Nothing spectacular. Didn't finish. While IBUN does has some delicious items, I've had my share of failures here too. My advice is to get the sponge cake and stick to the pineapple bun series, other items are try-at-your-own-risk. But good thing items are all around $1-$3, so not a huge gamble to try new items, as you may find your next favorite bun! read more

IBUN Bakery - $1.00 for sponge cake. Not overly sweet and very fluffy! - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is seriously a hidden gem! I personally love Asian bakeries. And visit Chinatown all of the time. And now that I'm vegan I thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy their baked goods. Then I find out about this place in Dynasty Plaza. Right next to H Mart. Like seriously, H Mart is just over the road which I found shocking because I'm always in H Mart! Anyway the prices are very reasonable and match non vegan bakeries in the area. A nice small place with a lot of options. I bought the curry and custard bun. And oh my gosh. I left the vicinity, ate the curry bun and had to go back! Like it was the best bun I've ever had! It made me question is this really vegan the entire time. Because I was in utter disbelief. I wanted to go back right after finishing it to buy another. I didn't go. But I will be back next week for sure. For the curry bun and something new. read more

Mom purchased an amazing VEGAN Taro Birthday Cake. Just a warning the cake is different to an American cake and is similar to Taiwanese bakery style cake which is less sweet. Still good to me and extremely pleased that it's vegan. The frosting was super good!!! Also, the cake part didn't taste vegan and it was super good as well. Not everything here is vegan but there are labels to make sure you are purchasing something vegan or not. BEST VEGAN CAKE IN HOUSTON. read more

Egg tart is a must get every time! They have the best egg tarts in town. The veggie curry bun was a perfect lightweight snack slight curry flavor, the bread is super soft like all of their bread. The coffee raisin was good, but not that sweet and very mild coffee flavor a little too subtle for me. The bread quality was still amazing, it had a crunchy crust and super soft pillowy inside with the bursts of sweetness when you get to the bits of raisin. The blueberry was good too not too sweet at all! I love the blueberry and coconut combo. read more

Not sure what the high rating is about. It's a grocery/bakery store inside an outdated mall. Not enough traffic and makes you wonder how fresh is everything. It's all vegan choices so I guess that may be appealing but there's nothing special about the breads. I'd not come back. read more

Delicious food at a good price. The BBQ pork lunch box comes with different sides each time, which I like, and it was only $7! I suggest going in person so you can also pick up a sweet bakery item to go with it. read more

When it first started back in 2012, I was so excited to learn about 大芳烘焙坊 IBUN Bakery's unique ingredients that no other bakery has done before - all vegetable oil with low sugar. I share these healthy and delightful cakes with my coworkers. They have been requesting for Ibun every time there is a celebration. It has a great attraction. Over the years, I've seen seniors coming to eat breakfast or having their tea time the tables. The environment is very relaxed. I also enjoy their vegetarian meats or monk food as I called them. They taste like real duck, fish, pork, chicken, lamb and beef. Unbelievable. Watch my in-app video for the rolled cake selection. There was a gap of few years I stopped coming here when I encountered problems with the younger staff who lack basic customer service skills and unfamiliar with the pre-order process. Maybe they have grown up or found their way around. Staff at IBUN has been much better lately. So I'm back for some delightful pastries; especially when I stop by at Dynasty Plaza to shop at New Dynasty Department Store 王朝禮品店 next door or eat at Yellow River Restaurant 何處覓小館 for early dinner. read more

I came here with a friend and we took forever picking items because everything looked so good! The lunch special is a really great deal so we got BBQ pork and omelette rice.

She eats meat and I don't but we still both liked everything! We'll definitely be back. read more

I've been coming here for non-dairy Asian-style fluffy birthday cakes ever since Happy Bakery closed across the street, but I've only just thought of giving IBUN the praise it deserves! The bakery is a small operation run by a Taiwanese family, and they sell a whole plethora of vegetarian and vegan foods. Of course, the focus is on Maillard reaction goodies - buns and breads and cakes galore! You can find both traditional options like pineapple buns, raisin bread, and mooncakes and also inventive ones like pitch-black charcoal bamboo buns. Though less attention grabbing, veggie faux meats, savory options, and drinks/smoothies are also up for sale. They're more than happy to answer any questions you might have about their products and to distinguish the vegan choices from dairy- or egg-containing items. The price point is very reasonable at $1-2 per bun, which actually beats most of its competitors - Six Ping, 85C, Kamalan... They take pride in only selling fresh products - I couldn't get my cake on the original day I ordered it for and had to delay it for the next. They called me the next day to tell me that if I didn't come pick it up by the end of the day, they'd have to toss it and make me a new one. Needless to say, I rushed over! This is a must-stop if you're looking for vegan or dairy-free choices, and a high recommend for all lovers of sweet Asian breads. read more

For $7 the Taiwanese bbq pork rice was filled to the brim with lots of great tasting food. I wasn't expecting much since I was only paying $7 for it, but I was pleasantly surprised by all the awesome flavors. I had enough food/meat leftover for another portion to eat with rice at home. Most of the other stuff on their lunch menu was only $6. I will definitely be back to try the other items on their menu. It's hard to find a all vegetarian bakery/restaurant that is not overpriced. read more

Vegans beware, because not everything is vegan. My daughter eats vegan mainly due to her severe dairy allergy, and she had a major reaction after her first bite that triggered stomachache and vomiting followed by full body hives! Due to the severity of her allergy, I even asked them about dairy ingredients in everything we bought and was assured they used no dairy. I thought I had finally found a place to satisfy my daughter's sweet tooth. Bummer... read more

We ordered the most popular meat sauce and rice lunch box and char siu rice lunch box and purple rice wrapped in bamboo leaves pyramid and mushroom soup. We wish we could eat more!!! We also returned the next day to buy the items in the freezer to take home (Dallas). The staff is friendly and you can tell they love what they do with their food. We were not familiar with some of the vegan ingredients and they were able to google it so to show us in English. Try them out! You will love it! We didn't get any of the bakery items. read more

Hidden inside the center of Dynasty Plaza, IBUN Bakery is worth finding! They offer delicious vegetarian and vegan baked goods, including cakes made to order if you plan in advance. The products are fresh and fabulous, sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet. Sponge cakes rolls are amazingly light and airy, and come different flavors (my favorites are the matcha with red bean filling and the taro.) The best thing for my lactose intolerant family is that their frosting is nondairy but tastes great. We will definitely be back. read more

Whoa whoa! Inexpensive and wonderful bakery in Chinatown. The bread is fresh and fluffy. You really cant go wrong here. Tons of vegan options as well, they are labeled with a V, that you cant tell is vegan in the slightest. They have mooncake, red bean pastries, cream bread, and loaves for purchase. Amazing. This is truly a hole in the wall bakery that delivers delicious pastries. So upset I didn't find this sooner. read more

Absolutely the BEST cake I've ever had ! Not only was it vegan, it was so good my omnivore guest said it was the best they ever had. I wanted a reveal cake and being vegan most bakers wanted 24-48 hr notice, not IBUN!! They knew I couldn't wait to tell my family after two boys were finally getting a girl! My only complaint... I didn't get the biggest one they had!! GO BIGGER, trust me. So worth it! My husband, 3 weeks later STILL talks about that cake. We're going back very soon! Great business, great service!

They're so sweet and delicious!! 11/10 recommend everyone try it! read more
