    Hello Kitty Mango Cake
    Jazmine V.

    Beautiful cake and not to mention so good. My whole family loved it. The frosting is soft and the bread of the cake is spongey. Decoration speaks for itself it's very pretty

    Good quality with lots of classic chinese bakery items. The bread always tastes fresh to me, always super soft and smells incredible. I tried their cotton cheese cake for the first time and was very impressed with how flavorful and soft it was! Of course it also wasn't too sweet. Their savory breads are packed with flavor as well. If you know what you want from here, you'll likely leave pretty satisfied.

    I always love a good Asian bakery, and this one was no exception. We grabbed a number of filled buns ranging from savory to sweet, and everything we tried was delicious. The space itself would probably benefit from a light renovation, but the service was friendly and the food was excellent quality. Would definitely come back here next time I'm in Pittsburgh again.

    a display of pastries

    Love this bakery! Really reminds me of my childhood when we would always get breakfast at a Chinese bakery cafe. The pastries are all delicious and authentic. They are very reasonably priced as well. We talked to a guy who may have been the owner while we were there and the mooncakes are very authentic and similar to the ones his mom would make back in Taiwan. The moon cakes were basically all sold out on Mid Autumn Festival Day. They have milk bread here, lots of pineapple bun varieties, pork floss bread, egg tarts, and sponge cakes. It also smells heavenly in here. Definitely check it out for some Chinese pastries and bread!

    Taiwanese Egg Tarts

    Stopped in for the first time today looking for some tasty morsels to remind me of my 2 years in Hong Kong. While living in HK I learned to love the Pineapple Buns, Cocktail Buns and Portuguese egg tarts among other things. I asked the cashier if they had the cocktail buns and was sorely disappointed when she indicated that they don't make them... however, to my surprise they did have a pineapple bun that was stuffed with the same coconut paste that I had come to love from the cocktail bun! It was like a 2-for-1 deal! I promptly picked out one of those, a clamshell of Portuguese tarts and one of Taiwanese tarts and devoured them outside the store at one of the tables. Happy with everything I got, just wish there was an even greater selection to choose from!

    Custard bun so good

    Custard bun inside

    It's a bit difficult to judge Pink Box, simply because I only tried one item. However, what I can say is that Pink Box seems to be a solid Asian bakery. In fact, it's one of the few Asian bakeries in Pittsburgh. I tried the custard bun (regular vanilla, not chocolate). The price is alright for the bun. Portion wise, it's about the size of my hand, so quite large. The custard filling is creamy and has a slight acidic taste to it, almost like a light hint of lemon. I would have liked a bit more custard, but it's not an empty pastry either. The bread surrounding it is fluffy but relatively flavorless. I expected the pastry bread to be sweetened and it seemed not to be. All in all, some of the items are a little expensive. But, this place is pretty authentic, offers a good variety, and the items are seemingly fairly good quality. I'm definitely glad we have an Asian bakery in Pittsburgh, and I'll occasionally stop by.

    $60 Coffee Cake was so delicious!
    Margaret G.

    I am putting in a cake order for my housemate's birthday! He loves coffee cake so I ordered a 10 inch coffee cake for $60. I am placing the order a week ahead of time. They took my credit card information over the phone, along with what words I wanted written on it. Let's see how this goes! Okay! I went to Pink Box and picked up the cake no problem, just by using the phone number I ordered with. They had beautifully written happy birthday Spencer on the cake in pink icing, like requested. It was so creamy and smooth and silky. The coffee taste was light and fluffy. I highly recommend these cake professionals.

    Not a big fan of the more traditional root based deserts but really found the baked goods using flour and other local produce to be delicious! I'll have to give this place a try one more time, and overall was under impressed. I'm sure it's a neighborhood staple, it just isn't for me. I'm also not sure how queer friendly this spot is, very questionable!

I got to try the plain cheesecake, buckeye, lavender, double chocolate, biscoff, and key lime pie, and honestly every single one was delicious! His cakes are made with alot of labor & love! What made this experience even more amazing, was getting to go behind the scenes and actually help make a ton of different cheesecakes. Such a fun, hands on experience getting to see Kyle in action and the amount of hard work that goes into every order. I loved hearing his stories about his childhood and his family influences. Kyle is only 31 and has owned his business for over 7 years! That's impressive. You can really see the passion behind his baking. He works incredibly hard and even sacrifices a lot of his social life to keep growing his business, perfecting his craft, and supporting his community. Small business, big story! definitely a spot worth supporting in Pittsburgh!!!!! Thank you Kyle & Lisa

This shop is part of a larger chain but currently appears to be the only location in the Pittsburgh area. It's located in East Liberty and is really more of a bakery than a coffee shop. The inside is split about 50/50, with half dedicated to seating and the other half serving as a self-serve bakery. You grab a tray and tongs before walking around selecting whichever baked goods catch your eye. They also have display cases filled with cakes and other pastries that need to be kept refrigerated. For my coffee on this morning I went with a 16 oz hot honey lavender macchiato while my wife chose a 16 oz iced tiramisu latte. I have to admit that the name of my drink confused me a bit at first, but it ended up being a latte macchiato as expected. With that being said, I thought it was quite good. The lavender was light enough to be noticeable without overpowering the drink, while the honey added just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso was also present, especially on the finish, where it added both flavor and body. My wife also enjoyed her latte and appreciated the tiramisu flavors throughout. Outside of the coffee, we ordered a number of pastries. My wife chose the Crookie, which is a cookie baked on top of a croissant. My son picked out a chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, while my daughter chose the strawberry soft bread. All of them enjoyed what they ordered, and I think my wife especially loved the Crookie. As for me, I went a little overboard and chose a garlic and cheese croissant, a curry croquette, pork-dusted bread, and a sweet taro cream bread. All of them were delicious in their own way. The garlic and cheese croissant was a nice savory option, with plenty of garlic flavor and a crispy cheese crust. The curry croquette had wonderful warming spices that made it especially flavorful. The pork-dusted bread was definitely the most unusual item. The pork topping reminded me of Wild Bill's Beef Jerky, and somehow those savory flavors worked really well on top of the crunchy laminated bread. Last but certainly not least was the taro cream bread. I was impressed by how light it felt despite being packed with an impressive amount of cream filling. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a sucker for bakeries like this and clearly ordered far more than my waistline needed, but everything I tried was enjoyable. While the coffee was good, the pastries are the real reason to visit, with the coffee serving as an excellent complement.
