Bao Bao Bakery & Cafe in Boston

Nice customer service even though you cant dine in. Great food and prices

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day to happen. Bao Bao Bakery is back in action and better than ever! They had their Grand Opening over the weekend and it was popping with lion dances, people and free samples.What I love about this place is the creativity that it bring. Your typical bakery in Chinatown consists of the regular egg tart, roast pork, pineapple, hotdog bao, etc. Bao Bao takes it up a notch by introducing new flavors and concepts such as the Taro and Green Tea Rolls, Potato Raisin Rolls, Giant Pork Floss Buns, Matcha Buns, Ham Corn Buns, and more! In addition to their signature items, they also have some really cute cakes and delicious drinks.And if this isn't enough walk a couple steps down to their restaurant, Double Chin, where Hong Kong Cafe meets Asian Fusion!

Great baked goods and bubble tea . The egg tarts are a must try!

My wife loves this place, specifically pork buns, red bean paste buns, and pineapple buns.

I don't like the remodeled setup. It is hard to grab the baked goods without another hand or 2. You need a hand to hold the tray, a hand to hold the tongs, another hand to open the little hanging doors to get the baked goods. The doors don't stay open so that's why you need 3 hands. It is a stupid setup. The place also feels much smaller after the remodeling. I cannot recommend this place to anyone with so many options in the vicinity.

The breads are the best and the bubble teas are really great too.

This place has THE BEST buns in Boston. They're a little more expensive than others but it's a difference of maybe 25 cents. I almost wish I hadn't found it because I can't stop visiting. You can fill yourself to the gills for about $5.

Always great quality, good selection. Beautiful cakes and personal size treats.

There are many bakeries in Chinatown but this one has some great deals they offer to customers. If you purchase $100 you get 15 off which is pretty awesome! Not to mention the baked goods are delicious as well.

I'm obsessed with the pasties here they're all super fluffy and not loaded with sugar like other places. Also a lot of them are only a dollar.

I’ve been ordering for a year now the cold honey lemonade here and it was great at the beginning. However, after they remodeled the place, the quality of beverages decreased. I gave it a couple of shots before writing the review but the new staff definitely waters down the lemonades way too much to the point they taste like water just water. Also, they didn’t put honey whatsoever. I asked them to fixed it and the lemonade came back tasting worst.

I liked everything they bake😋😋😋😋

love the breads here and they are at a decent price, but quality has been going down.

The initial set up of getting your items is wrong you can hold your tray and hold the plastic door open and serve yourself it's not logical.....it also seems rather small inside only a out 10 people can fit on the sales floor

Lots of selection and they have amazing pork buns!

The bakery was really clean, and all of the buns and baked goods were really fresh, soft, and delicious. The woman at the counter was super friendly and helpful. I told her what I was looking for (pork buns, of course!!) and she suggested some other items that did not disappoint. They also have an interesting menu of drinks and smoothies. I had a pineapple-lychee tea which was phenomenal! The prices are also on point. I only wished I had dipped next door into the Double Chin for some sit down eating. Definitely try the beef curry bun and the pork bun with pineapple glaze. I also really enjoyed the fried pork dumplings, but best to eat that when warm. (Excuse my squished buns. This is not what they looked like at purchase.)

Awesome bakery

The raspberry cheesecake dessert really made up for the nasty baked treat I tried from a previous bakery. This place had a variety of really beautiful treats that taste just as good as they look.

Very nice and clean bakery. We tried a lot of things and everything was delicious. Our favorite is the almond stripes. Thank you so much😊

Plenty of sweet items. Prices are average for bakery items. Also makes desserts for double chin restaurant.

Great bubble tea and baked goods but more impressive was their smoothies! Absolutely delicious!

Not only is it extraordinarily cheap, the pastries are all phenomenal! I would definitely recommend coming by.

Nice drive by bakery

Great Chinese bakery including raisin bread and sweet bread!

Great little Asian bakery. They offer a lot of different buns, savory and sweet, as well as cakes, breads, desserts, and drinks. I tried a matcha creme puff and a matcha swiss roll. Both of them were delicious! The bakery also connects to Double Chin (same owners).

Pastry is light, fluffy, n flavorful

Great bakery. Cakes from here are delicious

My sons and I went on a bakery tour in Chinatown and this one was BY FAR the best! They begged me to take them back every day we stayed in Boston. This is a must visit!

Excellent sweet- and savory- treats. Can't wait to go back.

Delicious sesame ball with red bean and other pastries. Regret not to trying more!

Great little spot! One of the best bakeries in Boston's chinatown. Fresh goods made daily and adorable atmosphere. Always stop by here for a curry bun.

Always my go-to spot in Chinatown

I came here for a Portuguese egg tart, raisin custard bun, and pineapple red bean bun. The Portuguese egg tart was quite tasty, as the yolk was really soft and the crust was flaky. The raisin custard bun was chewy and slightly sweet but delicious, and the pineapple red bean bun had lots of delicious red bean! Pricing is okay; all of this was $4.20 post-tax and it's definitely enough food for breakfast.

i came here on a weekday early afternoon. this is one of the very few bakeries that accepts credit card so that's why i came here. however, so many things were out. i wanted to get some cute cakes for some kids but there was like no cake. they only had the traditional chinese pastries. it was very disappointing. there was only 1 green apple mousse (sour taste and disgusting) on the shelf so i took it. besides that, they only had macaroons, matcha cream bun, regular cream bun, some cold refridgerated stuff, and traditional pastries. i dont think i would come back here again knowing that they dont make or restock food. egg tarts are pretty good. i didnt like their cocktail bun. matcha cream buns were also delicious and has fresh cream but i wish they labeled it correctly. it has red bean filling inside and i dont eat red bean.

Nice place

Have some good stuff here

I picked up a mango mousse and some cookies. The mousse was incredible.

Treats are amazing and surprisingly cheap!

Good food, tea is a bit too sweet with regular sugar

Very good Chao xiu bao. Haven't had it since China Town in NY. Pleasant staff.

Quaint shop with wide variety of pastries to choose from

Absolutely amazing baked goods and great place to sit down and enjoy your time in chinatown.

Good

They have bubble tea, baked goods, and gorgeous cakes.

Try the mini cheesecake or the Matcha roll. Delicious!

When time allows we travel from Salem NH to China Town for some great food then we explore a treat to take home, great selection here and very tasty !

The BEST!!!!!!!!!!! Omg when in here to get a cupcake and it was perfect! It literally melted in my mouth. The prices are very reasonable and they also do cupcakes and other pastries in bulk, which is perfect for parties!! To top it off it's around the corner from my job! Talk about perfect!

It's my favorite store when I think of getting a cake 🎂 ... I always like chocolate cake... Sometimes I don't find it so if you have a specific flavor in mind call before so that they make it for you 😋

It has decent breads, pastries, and bubble tea. There are plenty of better places around for each of those things though.

Cheap, delicious Chinese bakery with egg tarts, pineapple buns, cakes and more at good prices.
