There are plenty of bakeries all around San Francisco which sells buns. You can find them in almost every neighborhood in San Francisco. When you are at the Ocean ( the avenue not the water) Avenue there are a few places to choose from in the area. There is one place which sells lots of bake goods and it's located on Ocean avenue.It's called Cherry Blossom. On an Ocean Avenue stroll on a sunny day during the heat wave I landed at Cherry Blossom. Inside you will see baked goods along with customized cakes. I had got the durian roll. It didn't have a smell to it and actually the scent was welcoming. It didn't have the funk it smell or taste like some I saw on my social media feed. I then tried their pineapple bun and it was not too sweet and tasty. It was a bit flakey like some in SF. If you wait too long to eat the bun it's start to get crumby. This is a good bakery for your bun fix. There is a place which "carries" durian roll along bake goods topped with "berries"and a cream horn with "cherries" these desserts sing to me like some on my social media singing like "canaries" I like buns in the morning like morning buns when I "awake"come to place where they "make"different types of buns and a customized "cake"if you take too long to eat the buns like some in SF they will start to "flake" read more

My beloved bakery of choice. They have great cakes and an enormous selection of baked goods. The bread is always fresh and wonderful. I actually found this bakery when I was DoorDashing for someone's order, and have been coming back since! Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards! read more

Cherry Blossom Bakery - Durian cake - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

The cakes here are so good. One of the better Asian cakes in the area. Sponge cake is light and fluffy and most important... not too sweet. I've tried many of the cakes from here and they are all so tasty. Service is quick and good. The inside is your typical Asian bakery ambiance, display case with all the goods. Highly recommend for an Asian cake. Mixed fruit cake and mousse cake is all so tasty, especially the mango. read more

I dropped by while I was in the neighborhood on a Friday. It was brightly lit inside with one customer other than myself, so it was quiet at around noon. I've had Cherry Blossom Bakery egg tarts before and really enjoyed them! The crust is perfectly flaky and the custard is lightly sweetened. SO YUMMY!!! Great as a dessert or snack! I've had my share of egg tarts and I think the ones Cherry Blossom makes are one of my favorites in the city. The lady who helped me was nice and efficient. There were many other delectable pastries in the display case, but I intentionally came for egg tarts. I'll have to come back and try other things, but I would still include egg tarts! I ordered a few egg tarts this time. I ate one fresh, but stored some in the refrigerator for a few days in an air tight container. They still looked good after 2 days! Amazing!! Many times I would do the same with other egg tarts from other bakeries and the next day, you would see a crack in the middle, wrinkly custard, or the custard would peel away from the crust. But no problem with these! They store well and taste heavenly! Oh, and they were $2 each. 5 stars!!! read more

Cherry Blossom Bakery - egg custard tart 5/5 - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came on a Saturday around 12:10p and was the start of the lunch rush. Parking can be tough but there are lots of metered and residential spots to fight for. The line moved pretty quickly. I do wish they had a menu posted on the side so first-timers like me could decide without blocking the displays. Tried a few pastries: -BBQ pork bun - they also have mini ones -Scallion & ham - smelled amazing and tasted just as good -Curry beef bun - light but in the best way, my favorite Also got the Jasmine milk tea with boba which was chewy and bouncy, really refreshing. Everything fit nicely in the pastry box (minus my drink) with room to spare. They take Zelle, card, and cash. The cakes looked great too (you can preorder those). read more

Still my favorite location to buy Mini Bbq pork buns, Mini hot dog buns to share with people. But my personal favorite is the raisin bun and onion bun. Their buns are by far the best I have tasted.

!! CASH ONLY !! Cherry Blossom Bakery is an absolute gem! The selection of fresh, delicious pastries is unbeatable, and everything I tried was top-notch. I got a full box of goodies for just $15, which is an amazing deal considering the quality and flavor. Here's what I had: * Egg Tarts - Buttery, flaky crust with a silky, creamy egg custard filling. Not too sweet, just the perfect balance. * Cocktail Bun - Soft and fluffy bread filled with a sweet coconut filling that was rich and fragrant. Every bite was heaven! * Special BBQ Pork Bun - Unlike your typical char siu bao, this had a unique twist with a slightly crispy top and a perfectly seasoned, tender BBQ pork filling. So good! * Taro Ball - This was such a treat! A lightly fried exterior with a warm, slightly sweet taro filling that was creamy and satisfying. * Custard Bun - Soft, pillowy bun with a luscious, creamy custard inside. It wasn't overly sweet, which made it even better! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and baked to perfection. Just a heads-up: they are CASH ONLY, so make sure to bring cash! Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area. I'll be back for more! read more

Came in to cherry blossom to do their cake tasting. The lady service us was kind and offered us to sit and have some tea. We tried the mango mousse, chocolate mousse, cappuccino, and strawberry mousse along with their strawberry cream cake. We ended up sticking with the mixed fruitcake and strawberry cream cake. If you order a 3 tiered cake, you can choose up to 3 flavors. The weekend prior we bought their fruitcake for Mother's Day and thought the cake was decent and decided to order our wedding cake here. read more

I spend thousands of dollars at the bakery each year buying buns and cakes for my family and friends and as a reward for a high spender like me.. I recently received a free bday sponge cake. Love it how they rewards their loyal customers with a generous gift but it's not good as it looks. I ordered this bday cake for my family member and had the most pleasure of discovering the components of the cake. Fruit is fresh, cake tastes fresh however, why do I feel they are skimping out of the sponge cake? Every cake I order from them, I am instantly reminded of how skimpy there are but every time that perhaps... maybe they ran out of cake?? That it's okay to forgive them cuz they are busy? But after buying their cake year round for entire family about 8-9 people, but over time, I came to the conclusion that there is no hope that they will fix the way they make their cake. Unapologetically skimping. 25% cake 20% fruits 55% cream I'm trying to be very fair and report the truth. Maybe the chef loves whip cream and just feel that the cake is better with whip cream? I'm thoroughly disappointed with their cake making practices. I just cannot find the sincerity that's supposed to make me feel appreciated as a customer. Very disappointing. read more

Cherry Blossom Bakery - Mini Barbecue Pork Bun ( 6 pcs) Mini Custard Pineapple Bun - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I suppose I could have a celery stick, but who am I kidding? This is one bustling place no matter what time of day you're here. I've been to the popular one on Clement, but their Ocean Avenue location is a bigger space and hard to miss since it's in front of the traffic signal at Capitol. Their baked goods selection appeared bigger as well. No surprise that I seem to gravitate to the ones I know best. The $1.80 Custard Bun never fails to disappoint (photo), but the $1.85 Coconut Tart was just too heavy to indulge in beyond a couple of bites (photo). The fancier desserts like the mousses and the cake rolls were tempting, but hey, I've got my girlish figure to consider. BAKED GOODS - 4 stars...the buns deliver satisfaction more than the tarts AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...cleaner than Clement SERVICE - 2.5 stars...kinda curt here TOTAL - 3 stars...the custard bun saved my visit but not my girlish figure RELATED - Exploring Ingleside?

My boss bought mini pork buns from here and it was good so I sampled other buns, and they were good. I got a small cake for my Mom's birthday. The chestnut cake was good, considering they don't have weird pieces of nuts inside. It was a creamy paste. Thanks for the yummy cake. $34 read more

I called them at 6:00 am to order a durian birthday cake pickup on Wednesday, 07/30/2025. The cake was delicious, not overly sweet. When I went to pick it up, I also bought some BBQ pork buns, small hot dog buns, and shredded dried buns. They were all incredibly tasty. This bakery is a must-visit. I spent $90 and received a lovely Cherry Blossom bakery tote as a gift. I absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this bakery! read more

Great service, bought enough for my entire office and then some, great reviews! Everyone loved their different bread options, some sweet, some savory, some crusty, some smooth, a little bit for everyone read more

I usually go to their clement location but I accidentally ordered a cake at this location. I got their 8" fresh fruit cake for $38. This cake is loaded with fresh fruit! Melons, berries,kiwi, mango, and canned peaches! Inside was fresh and spongey. There are three sponge layers inside with whipped cream and fresh fruit. I even got a $5 gift certificate with the cake purchase! It's such a great promotion. read more

This was my first time experiencing something like this at a store. Today I went to the bakery and tried to buy a birthday candle that was displayed on the wall for sale. The lady told me they couldn't sell it to me unless I also bought a cake. I did buy a cake from them once before, but it wasn't fresh, so I stopped buying cakes there. Still, I go to this bakery almost every week for their bread. After what happened today, I don't feel like going back anymore. read more

I saw this place on yelp and the first thing I thought about was the how affordable the pastries are! The cakes look super good I never can find a place that sells in minis so I'm super excited. The service was very nice they asked if we would like to get started with a drink while we waited got a boba of course :) The cost was around $35 for all of these things read more

3.5 stars. We popped in for 2 items. Egg custard tarts and chicken pies. The crusts in both were very flaky but neither were buttery so tasted dry. The egg custard filling is good and not too sweet. I've had better more savory chicken pies from Sheng Kee bakeries but this one has more fillings. Lots of baked goodies in their display cases. We will have to make a return trip to sample other things. read more

Cherry Blossom Bakery makes really, REALLY good Asian breads and pastries. The bread is pillowy soft, and the filled buns do not skimp on the fillings. I have yet to have a bad pastry here. My family and I usually get the cocktail buns, green onion buns, char siu baos, and red bean buns. All in all, a very solid Asian bakery that's not too expensive! read more

Friendly staff, excellent pastries, convenient location. Awesome asian bakery with bilingual staff (chinese/english) frequently visited by locals. Their pastries are great in comparison to what you can get from chinatown without having to go to chinatown because who has time for that unless you're already planning to bus there. I've tried a hand full of their pastries but their eggtarts and pineapple buns were my favorite. Prices are just slightly higher here than chinatown prices but given their location, it's very much justified. P.S. cash and zelle only. They have a couple indoor seating but most people take their orders to go so you'll always find a seat. read more

Cash only establishment . They have a variety of pastry's . I order a dozen baked BBQ pork buns . I like to try different place every time I come to the city. For dozen and three extra pastries the price wasn't too bad. If you want a dozen of pork buns Make sure you call ahead . There are tables to have a coffee with pastry inside . read more

I came here to grab some baked goods to try at home and ended up getting a chocolate mousse cake, mango mousse cake, and a durian pastry. I was helped pretty quickly and paid in cash. Both the chocolate and mango mousse cakes were quite similar, with a decent layer of mousse on top of a soft sponge cake, plus a few toppings. They were okay overall, but the mousse wasn't as fluffy or moist as I would have liked, leaving a bit of a dry mouthfeel. The flavor tasted slightly artificial, though given the lower price, it wasn't too surprising. The durian pastry had a faint smell, but the filling was more sweet bean paste than durian, with just a hint of durian aftertaste. The outside was nice and crispy. Overall, it's an okay bakery, on par with Sheng Kee, though they might offer some more unique items. read more

Note: I got my order for delivery I've ordered from Cherry Blossom Bakery multiple times now for delivery and everything is always so good. Their custard buns are my favorite but I've also had their mini hot dog buns, which I love but unfortunately don't have a picture of. I'm sure if I went in person and picked up my order fresh that I'd love the food even more but you simply cannot go wrong with their custard buns, pork buns, or hot dog buns. Their pork buns are so pillowy and soft. The meat is tender with just a touch of sweetness which compliments the bread so well. Their only competitor for me is Red House Bakery over on San Bruno Ave but if you're in the area, I would recommend Cherry Blossom Bakery; and live I said it's nice that they are on delivery apps too! read more

Their mini BBQ Pork buns and mini custard pineapple buns are the bomb. They are so soft and yummy! Perfect size for kids. I usually buy them in dozens and freeze half for later. My kids can easily heat it up in air fryer in the morning for breakfast through out the week. You can also call to pre-order and they will package for you for pick up and no need to wait. Highly recommend them. read more

I love this bakery so much! I don't know why there aren't more 5-star reviews. My experiences here have always been flawless. ONE THING THAT PEOPLE FAIL TO MENTION IS THAT THIS PLACE TAKES ZELLE PAYMENTS. If you don't bring cash, that's no problem - ask them for their Zelle and it's done super quickly. I appreciate this option so much! I really love the lady at the front who always says, "And then?!" when you order. It's such a funny way of upselling and she does a great job. Upselling is important in every business so I completely understand. She has gotten me to get custard buns, ham & cheese buns, and hot dog buns when I wasn't planning on it and I never regretted my decisions! Everything is so cheap for what you get - usually 3 mini hot dog buns for $3.75, 3 mini pork buns for $3.75, and so on. Very, very worth! Bread is always nice and soft, and lots of times if you come at a good time they come out right fresh out of the oven. Best bakery! read more

Pretty solid so far. CASH ONLY! I tried their egg tart and hot Hong Kong milk tea a few days ago and enjoyed them both! Egg tarts had the flakey crust, which I prefer over shortbread crust. The Hong Kong milk tea had that signature bold, silky flavor that's hard to come by, making it feel authentic. I ordered it at half sweet, but it was still a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try 25% sweetness. The pricing is reasonable, especially for the quality. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely a bakery I'd return to when I'm craving some classic Hong Kong flavors! read more

Where do you go when you are short soy sauce and garlic at home? Not here, but temptation from buying them will draw you here. Parking about three spaces away from here, I walked to a nearby market to get the above and noticed this was the only other open business on a recent Sunday morning. I saw a steady flow of customers coming in and out so my curiosity drew me in. The menu mostly is for drinks so I trusted my eyes in selecting a few items to share with my family. The first item I selected was the baked BBQ pork bun (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=_nqGavwujQeqBvQD4Zi7uQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); it was your standard variety but I noticed the size is on the larger side. I liked that the filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rpmqRIunU79cNMGKaUWd6g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) was consistent throughout as all bites had dough and BBQ pork or sauce. The next item was the egg custard tart (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=CUs1F4LlJvljgl9-A27xpg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) which I reheated in the toaster oven. With the Grant Avenue gold standard place closed, trying theirs was a must. I liked that they weren't that sweet and the flavor leaned to the eggy and firm side. The last item that I tried was the sesame red bean bun (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=38kvVqT3dcxIBG-sK6IxIQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). I'm biased towards anything red bean so excuse me for enjoying this the most. There was no shortage of red bean paste so this pastry remained moist and easy to eat without having to pair a drink. I will get this again. There were three gals manning the counter as it was a bit of a free for all in ordering. The young lady efficiently placed my items in a pink box as I named them before tying it shut. The continuous coming and going customers is a good sign that the kitchen is able to rotate fresh goods consistently. I will study the drink menu more carefully before ordering at the counter. Red bean paste. read more

Solid establishment for Chinese pastries! There's a huge selection to choose from too. My go to order here is the cocktail bun!! Definitely give it a try because there's tons of filling, and the filling is slightly salted to make the flavor stand out. The bbq pork buns are also really great here too! I wouldn't say this is the best Chinese bakery in the city since the bread isn't as soft and doughy as other places, but this bakery still sits pretty high on my list! Make sure to give them a try! read more

Cherry Blossom Bakery - BBQ Pork Bun, Cocktail Bun, Pineapple Bun - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ordered a fruit cake with assorted fruit inside. It wasn't overly sweet, it was the light airy type of cake and light frosting you'd expect from an Asian bakery. The fruit cake options they offer vary based on what's inside the cake. The one I choose was $34 dollars. Egg tart custard was generous, but the crust wasn't flaky enough to my liking and a bit too thick. The bbq pork pineapple bun had a nice crisp on the top but the meat inside was too dry and more salty than sweet in flavor. Average overall. read more

The pastry chef did an excellent job with our gender reveal cake! It was a little challenging at first to place the order because it took some explaining to communicate the concept of a gender reveal cake to them. But I was able to directly speak with the chef and send him an inspo picture and the cake turned out perfectly! If possible, have a Chinese speaking friend or family place the order for you to avoid any miscommunication. read more
