    Auntie always brings these when she comes to visit. Yummy custard buns and coconut buns!

    So so egg tart with soggy greasy shell
    Lorissa W.

    I knew before coming back to Cherry blossom that the egg tarts were not the way they used to be. We got here this morning and my husband ordered four eight tarts and I immediately ate my warm egg tart. It was not as good as it used to be. The crust was soggy and tasted only of grease. The egg custard itself was not custardy but had just a sweet plain egg flavor. A good egg custard tart should have a flakey non-greasy crust and a rich custardy flavor. Their egg custard tarts had no soul. We will not be getting our egg tarts from here anymore.

    Pineapple bun: top is hollow. We ate this one inside the store.

    Came here to get some buns after Thanksgiving lunch with the family. Egg tart: excellent! Flaky crust and a warm, creamy, thick custard. Pineapple bun: extremely disappointing. The "pineapple crust" was lackluster and the top was hollow, causing it to collapse/cave in with very little bun underneath. One of the worst I've had. Cash only

    This is one of our go to bakery. My boys love the green onion pancake and the red bean bun. I like the taro and green tea balls. When we are in town, we get our pastries here. This place only takes cash, be sure you have cash. Service is great. There is also a bathroom here. Overall, when I am in town, I come here to get my bake goods.

    Solid chinese bakery in Richmond, I believe its cash only. Super affordable. My routine is strawberry matcha down the street and then pick up bread here. I've tried a number of items here- raisin, pinneaple, hot dog, custard, red bean black sesame, etc. Everything here has been very good and its fresh. My personal favorites have been pinneaple bun (they have minis as well) and the red bean black sesame.

    Stumbled into Cherry Blossom Bakery while walking around Richmond after lunch. The lady behind the counter was quick, and efficient. And the bakery was bright with natural sunshine from their large windows. They have a bunch of baked goodies on display. Seeing they had egg tarts, I bought a few. Also bought banana rolls, because it's a childhood nostalgic sweet treat. I brought them home and their tarts were still warm! The custard was soft and creamy and the crust was flakey! Like most egg tarts, they weren't too sweet. Though reading other reviews, the tarts are inconsistent. I thought the crust was flakey, while others have said it wasn't flakey. Maybe I got a new batch that just came out of the oven. If it was in the fridge, I would heat it up in the toaster oven for it to taste better. And the banana rolls were also good and chewy and not as sweet as the ones I used to get in Chinatown. I'd rather have it less sweet than too sweet. You get 3 for $4.25. Glad I stopped by and grabbed my favorites! If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to get more of these yummy egg tarts and possibly try other pastries. 4/5

    I was so sad I only discovered this bakery on my last day here. Came in the AM and everything was freshly baked and you can definitely tell since everything feels light and fluffy and some buns were still warm. My favorites were the pineapple custard bun and BBQ pork bun. I will definitely be back to try more next chance I get! They have a few tables/spots to sit at, but I imagine it'd be hard to get a spot at prime breakfast times. FYI cash only

    I've been eating a lot of these pastries recently, but Cherry Blossom Bakery does stand out in service and taste! On a weekday afternoon, my friends and I were welcomed into the bakery and had a wide selection of pasties to choose from. We grabbed almost a dozen pineapple buns with some other miscellaneous pastries, including their BBQ Pork Puff Pastry and Sponge Cake. The BBQ Pork Puff Pastry was flaky and crispy, and the pork filling inside was quite delicious! The Sponge Cake also had a good texture, being light and not too dense. I'd love to try one of their other pastries in the future!

    Some goodies

    Tucked away in the city, this bakery is a reliable and comforting spot for fresh, traditional Chinese pastries. It's the kind of place that doesn't rely on flash or trendiness. Just solid, consistent quality and a warm, familiar atmosphere. The aunty who runs it is incredibly kind, often chatting with regulars while handling the counter with care. There's a real sense of pride in how the pastries are made and displayed, with everything neatly arranged and looking like it came straight out of a home kitchen that's been doing this for generations. Their strength is in the classics. The soft buns filled with BBQ pork, coconut, custard, and hot dog are done just right. Pillowy, balanced in flavor, and never overly sweet or oily. These are the kinds of baked goods that transport you back to childhood bakery runs. One item that stands out every time is the banana mochi. It has the perfect chewy texture, with a gentle banana flavor that lingers just enough without being overpowering. It's something both me and my brother always look forward to, and it holds up well even after a day if you want to save it for later. Prices here are inexpensive and feel right for what you're getting with their generous portions, well-made pastries, and a bit of nostalgia all rolled into one. Compared to other Chinese bakeries in the city, it's competitive without cutting corners. Street parking is your only option, and while it can take a few minutes, it's rarely a dealbreaker. If you're looking for a spot that does the basics really well and makes you feel at home, this place is worth the stop. Plus there are a bunch of other restaurants and cafes nearby so you can hit a few and do some errands as well.

    This bakery has such an assortment of goods. We walked in on a Friday afternoon. The pineapple custard buns were great -- the right amount of filling and crust was tasty. The pork buns tasted a bit old / stale and the inside had too much fat in the interior.

    Jennifer T.

    Their mooncakes are so yummy! It tasted fresh and softer than the store bought ones. No need for the preservative packets. I've never tried freshly baked mooncakes until now. It definitely tastes much better. It comes with 4 plastic bags to put the mooncakes in if you need to bring it somewhere.

    Ham and egg bun
    Hope L.

    This place has such good buns! I got the mini pork buns and the ham and egg buns. The pork buns were super tasty and filling as they had a pretty good amount of meat. It was a bit doughy but I like that texture! The ham and egg buns was amazing. The egg was so fluffy and soft and melted in my mouth. I do wish there was a bit more ham but overall it was delicious. I would come back!

    Overcharged and POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Accusing me that I bought egg tarts. 2 ham and egg (2.30 x 2 = 4.60) 2 raisin buns (2.20 x 2 = 4.40) 2 pineapple buns for 3.70 2 cocktail buns for 3.70 Total should be $16.40 but they charged $20.80. Didn't realize it til we got home and then I called them and the lady was yelling that I bought egg tarts which I didn't. I told her to check the cameras. Wasted time and gas to drive back to get my $4.40 back and another customer there said they over charge her all the time so now she brings a calculator with her. It's not about the money, it's the principle. They know they overcharge and they do it often. Do you calculate when you buy food or groceries? I know I do but now I will. Do the math before you leave. I will not be coming here again.

    This was the one place I wanted to visit while in SF. It was amazing, but there is so much hype it…read morewas hard to temper my expectations!!! There are three Arsicault locations, but this is the original, opened in 2015 (or so the internet told me). Our hotel was closer to the Tenderloin location, but that area wad sketchy. The line was 15 people long, but moved incredibly fast. The menu is on the front glass window (no prices,). Once you enter, you can see the pastries and corresponding prices. Unfortunately, you enter when it's your time to order, pay grab your food, and then leave. We went twice and our whole interaction was less than a minute per trip!!! We had many things and there were only winners. If you don't want to spend $60 like we did, here are my thoughts on what we tried. Croissants: the almond was the winner by a long shot!!! I liked the ham and cheese, but only if you need a savory option. Chocolate chip croissants are not my favorite, but my daughter ate the whole thing and loved it. The almond chocolate chip had too much going on and it's the only one I would not recommend. The kouign amann is delicious and worth getting. The morning bun is good, but only if you want a bit of citrus flavor (orange zest). The monkey bread was good, but after all the other pastries, it didn't stand out. It seemed similar to the kouign amman in retrospect and I'd need another side by side to really sort out the differences. The chocolate chip cookie is delicious, but beware that it is salted. My son wasn't a fan, but the rest of us liked it. A bonus if you go the Richmond Ariscault -- it's next door to Breck's, a great coffee shop that has seating. Looks like most Arsicault customers grabbed their pastries and went next door to get coffee and sit down. We followed suit and it was a perfect pairing. After our pastries, we went to Golden Gate to walk off the meal. An epic morning!!!

The storefront is small so you pretty much walk inside to tell them what you want, pay, and get your pastries to go. No place to sit; only drip coffee offered. The croissants are crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. One of the best croissants in San Francisco. They don't offer a huge selection of pastries but the more popular ones are the croissants and Kouign Amann. With the croissants they offer a number of variations including almond, chocolate, ham and cheese. They also sell scones but I would stick with the croissants in my opinion.

This most recent time I arrived just before opening and waited about an hour and a half for my delicious strawberry roll. If I had got there earlier, I think the line would've been only about 20 to 30 minutes so if you are an early bird they allow you to line up anytime after around 7:45 AM. I listened to a new album and great podcast while I was in line, it can be a great solo activity and makes the wait go by fast! I also enjoy talking to the people around me about whether or not they've been here yet and hearing what their favorite items are or what they're excited to try. This time I met someone who had brought their family member all the way from Mexico to try! I think a lot of the people who are frustrated don't understand that there will be a wait. The owner has explained on her Instagram that the reason they cannot simply bake more is because they are not baking pastries that are designed for bulk creation. They are all handmade small batch goods that simply cannot be made in large quantities. I think when you go into it understanding that it's going to be an experience that more often than not comes with a wait time it is much more enjoyable. I did see some teenagers show up with their parents who immediately seemed like they did not want to get in the line. The thing about lines though is that typically if there is a consistent line somewhere that means it's good! I really admire the parents that did wait with their kids because it is worth it! We all need a little bit of whimsy in our life and these goods and the wonderfully magical people who work there make my day a little brighter each time I go in. The shop itself is decorated so well, you can tell that the cookbooks and tools are not just props on the shelf. They are actually used. There are also a couple glittery surprises that I will leave for you to find out... I cannot recommend this little bakery enough. If you are in San Francisco, even just for a day, add it to the top of your list and start your day with a treat you won't be able to find anywhere else.

The namesake Pistachio Cardamom croissant was excellent for a filled croissant. It had excellent layers and the cream was just enough to add a lusciousness to each bite that wasn't too heavy. The madame lorraine was my other favorite. It was meaty and rich with the soft baked runny yolk and the light touch of rosemary was just enough to accentuate the bite. The not as good...a standard butter croissant. Maybe we got a dud but there was a serious lack of layers in ours and it wasn't as crisp or as buttery as I like. The elote corn croquiche filling was also quite salty which was a shame because the pastry layer was pretty good. I still have two more pastries to try but given the weight and the mixed bag, I definitely expected a lot more from Butter & Crumble. Pro tip: get a butter croissant at Arsicault, walk to B Patisserie and get a kouign amann. You'll have both before the line moves here.

I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in!

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying.
