I came here after getting some lunch and got the honey lemon tea. I normally get drinks at reduced sugar but was suggested to get 100% as the flavor would just straight up taste like water. After getting the drink, I was more than happy with it as it reminded me very closely of what they served in Hong Kong. I'll come again whenever I'm in the area for their food. read more

Teews Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Waited 50 minutes (yes *fifty* minutes) to get a bubble waffle....there is a major staffing and operational issue here at this location that sadly ruins the entire experience: 1. One person is both taking orders and making the food 2. They hide the entire cooking area so you literally have no idea what's going on while waiting...there's no other staff or even a simple screen showing you what order they're on....so you just keep walking back every 10 minutes hoping they've finished your order 3. They don't even call out the orders when they're done. So most likely after waiting 50 minutes, you finally see your order is out and it's cold and unappetizing The bubble waffle itself was actually quite decent tasting, but waiting 50 minutes makes everything taste pretty terrible. Highly recommend never to come here again unless you want to waste an hour of your life waiting for a waffle. read more

In the 1950s, Hong Kong's economy was still recovering, and resources were relatively scarce. At that time, grocery stores frequently ended up with cracked or damaged eggs during transport and inventory delivery. Unwilling to waste these cracked or unappealing eggs, a clever grocery shop owner came up with an idea: mix these damaged eggs with inexpensive ingredients like flour, butter, refined sugar, and evaporated milk to form a rich batter. To attract customers, the owner custom-ordered a pair of hive-like iron molds with hollow indentations, poured in the batter, and grilled it over a charcoal fire. Since each raised round ball resembled a miniature egg, it came to be known as "Egg Waffle" (Gai Daan Jai). During that era, influenced by British colonial culture, Western-style waffles were gradually becoming popular in high-end establishments. To make a similar pastry that ordinary people could afford, street vendors adopted the baking principles of waffles but reshaped the molds into small egg-like spheres. This design was not only economical and quick to cook, but it also allowed customers to tear off and eat individual pieces easily, quickly making it a sensation across the streets. During the 1950s to 1970s, street vendors mostly operated mobile wooden carts. They placed the specially crafted honeycomb-style sandwich molds over charcoal stoves, poured in the batter, and quickly flipped the molds to bake them over high heat. Ambiance: The store is clean and tidy, with remarkably tasteful floral arrangements. The seating and reception area is spacious, making the overall environment exceptionally comfortable. Service: The staff greet customers with great warmth, enthusiastically recommending products while introducing their egg waffles and seasonal specialty drinks. The entire ordering and serving process is smooth, highly efficient, and saves time without any long waits. Taste: The egg waffles here are even better than the ones in Hong Kong! Every product in this shop is handmade with fresh ingredients--even the fruits are sourced daily. While the egg waffles take a few minutes to prepare, trust me, it is absolutely worth the wait! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich, crispy crust on every bite that elevates the whole profile. The egg flavor is intensely aromatic, made entirely from scratch with fresh egg batter and zero artificial additives. Highly Recommended! Today, egg waffles have transitioned from street vendors to specialized bakery shops, and the delicacy has even been featured multiple times in the Michelin Guide's street food recommendations. read more

I tried the original bubble waffle this time and it's not that good to be honest. I guess they are just good with the specialty waffles. It's kinda pricy as well. They have a new waffle that has egg tart and pineapple bun and it was $16. You can easily get 2-3 good bubble waffles elsewhere. It's a small place so it's only enough to order and leave the store to wait. The lady was nice though, she was helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and was able to answer questions that came up. I think this is a decent place if they lower the price a bit. read more

- delicious egg waffles, outrageous price - I had a REALLY difficult time walking into this place, not because it's always empty but because the price of that egg waffle they are advertising outside.... It is $15.99. For someone who could occasionally get regular egg waffles for around $3 with coupons, it is difficult to justify the price. I was thinking about trying it once for the sake of writing a review though, or at least before it's closes since it really can't survive here. The other day, I passed by here with my husband and we decided to go in to check the price. They actually have a egg waffle with a price that's more reasonable.. around $12. The $15.99 one combines the pineapple bun and the egg custard, whereas the $12 one only has the pineapple bun stuff on top. We chose that and it was ready shortly as they had no business at that time. There were people going in to check it out but most of them left without buying anything. The pineapple bun egg waffle was super crispy and delicious. However, it is a bit overwhelmingly crunchy. If you like crunchy things, this is for you. It is more work to make, but the price point is still too high at $12. We would gladly pay $10 for it, but not $12. The cream that comes with it is salty and sweet.. sort of like the salty creama that you get on top of bubble tea drinks but slightly more solid. Hence it is high calories, and mostly cream cheese. Even though we enjoyed the food, it's hard for me to see them attracting people to become regulars to survive this mall at that price point. They should change to offer regular egg waffles at a much lower price point if they want to survive here long time. But then hey, maybe they are secretly doing well? Who knows xD. In the end, the question comes down to.. is the read more

Swung by to try the Pineapple Bun Egg Waffle in Teews, so that's what this review is based on. Logistically, Teews is located inside Crossroads, which means plenty of food options, food court stye seating / self-service bussing, and easy parking. Their menu is fairly small with 4-5 drinks, macarons, and a couple egg waffle options. The price of the egg waffle is pretty eye popping at 12+ dollars, but they are made to order for the ideal eating experience. The egg waffle itself has a nice crispy on the outside with a good chew on the individual bubbly 'egg' sections. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the pineapple topping was actually salted egg yolk flavored, which added a nice salty, crumbly contrast to the waffle itself. The cream was reminiscent of a Vietnamese egg white cream with a good amount of salt as well, which added a nice creamy texture and flavor to the eating experience. All in all, it was good, but very pricey and probably not the most kid friendly with pretty complex flavors. read more

I've been to Teews a couple times and I have gotten the HK Pineapple Bun Egg Waffle each time! My experiences were pretty distinct; the first time it took ~25 minutes for them to make the egg waffle. The second time it took ~10 minutes, which was great. I would recommend ordering as soon as you get there so you can just walk around Crossroads while you wait. The salted cheese cream they serve is DELICIOUS. You should try the egg waffle with and without so you can taste the difference. read more

Tried Teews Bakery when it was newly opened. The service could have been better. For a new place, you'd think they would be excited to introduce their products but we felt like we were being a bother when we asked for recommendations. The drink that we got was ok. I had high hopes for the pineapple bun but it wasn't good at all. The consistency is more of a cookie than a waffle which was very confusing to me. The added custard on top that was supposed to make it special didn't really add anything to make it better. read more

Small cafe inside of crossroads mall. Got their bubble waffle with the pineapple crisp on top. It's a Hong Kong thing with a new twist. If you want a cross between a Hong Kong style pineapple bun and a bubble waffle, you'll enjoy this. read more

Aside from their Hong Kong milk tea, it turns out all of their milk teas are non-dairy! I got a jasmine and an oolong and both were delicious; I liked the flavors of these more than the other options around the mall area. I'll definitely be stopping by again next time I want tea! (I'll just have to remember not to come by too late in the evening, because most of their teas are caffeinated...) read more

So glad a new place opened up in Bellevue serving great bubble waffles and HK Lemon Tea after Maichilin closed. Their specialty (Bubble waffle with a pineapple bun topping) is worth waiting for - went with a group and we all enjoyed it. Just bring some cards or something for the wait. It says 15 minutes but I feel like it was shorter than that. Only unfortunate thing is that they were sold out of matcha when I went - saw a lot of people get in line just to get to the kiosk and leave when they saw the matcha was out. Maybe signage before people line up and wait to get to the front to find out it's sold out would be good and avoid frustration. There's tons of seating around the bakery and the inside is very small and a little cramped. Be prepared to stand around outside awkwardly with other people after you order lol. Also, ignore the google maps location - it's wrong right now. Just park at the crossroads mall and walk in the food court and it's next to the live band stage. I thought it was funny that TEEWS is SWEET backwards. read more

I got the viral Pineapple Bun Bubble Waffle. It tasted great. I would say it was little expensive around $14 but it's very unique. Then I also got a Starwberry Matcha & it was alright. Just your typical matcha. All the employees were really nice & talked to me & my group about their business! read more

Teews Bakery has a bright, clean, well‑lit ambiance that makes it a chill place to peruse. I tried the Camellia Latte and it was a very fragrant milk tea with floral notes that linger long after your sip. Note: If the flavor seems mild or too sweet, a good shake will set the balance. The menu is on the light side, with a handful of options for food and drinks. For food, you can point and choose from the display. For drinks, I wish they would provide a description. They're listed by name on a handwritten sheet. Overall, friendly service and a unique drink made the visit worthwhile. read more
