Pork in buns, yum
Nathan N.

An Asian bakery in Vermont?! I remember when this place opened up a few years ago. My schoolmates and I were elated that we could get Chinese style baked yummies without having to go out of state. More recently visiting Vermont a few years later, we picked up a bunch of buns, savory and sweet, to bring to a reunion of sorts. I recalled that we got cream buns and pork buns, all tasty. I haven't been able to personally step foot in the bakery, given the timing arrangements we had, but everything I have eaten from this bakery has been yummy. I especially loved what was like guabao, a "Chinese style hamburger," though I'm not sure how Morning Light called it. It had warm saucy pork and lettuce on a soft fluffy bao. I was truly impressed, especially as a born and raised Californian.

First time here and will have to return! They were closing up and had wife buns left, so I grabbed one and was pleasantly surprised by the very unique flavor and texture of the pastry as well as the price. Will return earlier in the day

Yummy selection!

What a wonderful surprise to stumble upon this little gem! A short walk away from the Winooski Sunday farmer's market, this is the kind of food that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or anytime snack. Super warm & friendly service here, and the yummiest food choices! We tried the (hot) Hong Kong Milk Tea...and are counting down the days til they open again so we can get another. It is THAT GOOD. We also tried: Sesame Ball - I had no idea they only make this every other weekend! This is always my fave, but the usual red bean filling is my least fave part of it. However! The way they make the red bean filling here - lighter, less sweet, who knows what makes it SO DELICIOUS, but it IS. What a treat! Strawberry Mochi - a whole, fresh, chocolate-covered strawberry is wrapped in super squishy-soft mochi. Perfectly lightly sweet! Mango Mochi - fresh mango chunks in the middle of that squishy-soft mochi, rolled in coconut. Yummy! Curry Chicken Bun - the soft bread bun ob this is less sweet than the traditional ones. The curry flavor is milder, too. Definitely a great choice! BBQ Pork Bun - mmmm, a soft bbq pork bun that is like delish comfort food. A must try! There are so many other things I want to try! I'll be back very soon for the Hot Dog bun, the Tuna Mayo bun, the egg tart, the custard, taro, & pineapple buns, and of course that hot Hong Kong Milk Tea!

Very friendly staff and went out of their way to accommodate me! I wanted to order a cake and some pastries for my friend's birthday and the owner was able to put together everything for me and make an exception to deliver it 10 miles away. (He even included 3 extra egg tarts complimentary!!) My friend was very happy and I can't thank the owner enough to help me surprise my friend! So pleasantly surprised to have found and Asian bakery in the area.

I just discovered this shop this morning when I had a bubble tea craving. The drinks and pastries (both sweet and savory) all are phenomenally delicious. We specifically got the pineapple bun, coconut bun, egg tarts, pork belly bao, mango bubble tea, and taro bubble tea with mango popping bubbles. Can't wait to try their beautiful cakes next time. The people who run the shop are just the nicest. will definitely be coming back frequently. Pork belly bao is not pictured because my partner ate it before I could take a pic.

What a beautiful little gem! The food is scrumptious and will be your new addiction. Friendly environment full of smiles and thank you's. You'll be so glad you stopped by to enjoy a sweet and savory bun or a fresh tangy pudding. This has now been my partner and I's weekly getaway treat. Sometimes we have to hold back from going several days in a row, it's that delicious.

Messy bubble tea

I love Morning Light Bakery! I've been going here weekly since I got back from China. Some of the best Hong Kong breads and drinks you can find in the surrounding area. Morning Light is a small corner shop. Only can seat 4 people at 2 tables, so it's better to order and go. It is a family run establishment. The family is from Hong Kong! Very friendly and they make connections with customers like me! I enjoy the bubble tea very much. They have a good selection and it is expanding as I continue to go. The pastries and breads are fresh and delicious. Fantastic price especially on the breads (only $2 each!) Keep your eye out for weekend specials!

classic bubble milk tea and the best egg tarts ever

6 out to 5 stars for the baked goods. Seriously. Yes. They're that good. 2 stars for the coffee. I…read moregot a latte and while the syrup flavor was good, the rest of it was unfortunately no better than I'd get using one of those commercial machines you see in airport lounges. Loved the space, with plenty of seating, although there was practically a line out the door at 9:30 AM on a Saturday. I would absolutely come back just for the breakfast items.

I have been here several times now, and every single visit has been a fantastic experience. If…read moreyou're looking for freshly baked pastries, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere, look no further. Everything is made with care and it shows, from the flaky, buttery croissants to the fresh, crusty sourdough loaves. Their breakfast sandwiches are a must-try, and the seasonal pastries are always on point (don't miss the cardamom rolls in winter or the fruit galettes in summer!). The quality is consistent, and you can taste the love in every bite. The staff are friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They remember your name, offer great recommendations, and truly care about your experience. Even during busy hours, they keep things running smoothly without rushing you. Boxcar has a warm, inviting vibe. There's natural light, cozy seating, and the comforting aroma of fresh bread baking in the background. Whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down for a quiet morning with coffee, it's always a peaceful and enjoyable space. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to and I do, often. Boxcar Bakery is more than just a bakery; it's a community space, a treat-yourself moment, and a neighborhood favorite.
