I ordered a bunch of stuff and I can't believe and ashamed to admit that I would go all the way to NYC for some of it when we have such good stuff available in Philly! I have never seen Pandan egg tarts anywhere else, so I was super pumped to try those and they were delightful. We got the Taro Bun, Pandan Tart, Red Bean Egg Yolk Puff, Steamed Custard Bun, Pork Floss Cake with Taro, Pandan Sponge Cake Sandwich and my absolute favorites were the Pork Floss Cake with Taro and Red Bean Egg Yolk Puff. It is a bit far from my place so I ordered for delivery and they packed everything very nicely! read more

Heard really good things and came to check it out. Lots of good options. I tried some of their buns which were tasty. Downside is I was very looking forward to the strawberry matcha however they use this artificial strawberry sweetener that was so so sweet that I actually couldn't even drink it. They didnt give an option for less sugar. I would avoid it. Workers very friendly. Would try other things in the future. read more

Was visiting Philly for the day and looked up Asian bakeries and found this place. The outside art is very cute and the interior is small and mainly just for ordering. We came around 3/4 pm on the weekend and there was a decent variety of stuff left but I would suggest coming earlier if you can since some things were sold out. We got the cha siu puffs, sweetheart cake, and pandan tarts. The cha siu puffs were a bit dry (tastes best when freshly made). The sweetheart cake was alright, I have definitely had better. The highlight was the pandan tarts - I haven't really seen these anywhere and they tasted great!! My bf and I were tempted to go back to buy more but we were in a rush. read more

I would say you have to definitely go early we went at almost 5pm on a Saturday and they were out of almost everything I wanted to try. I asked them and they said to come early. We did try a few things, the butter bread was good, a mango tiramisu cup was delicious! I got the red bean and mung bean pastry cakes for my niece and she liked them. I tried the lotus and taro little pastries as well and I wasn't a fan. I will try to come back early to try all their wonderful breads! Friendly staff read more

If you want a good zongzi in south Philly, you can grab one here. It's warm, good amount of red beans, peanuts, and pork belly. If you want the buns, the recommend coming here in the morning because at the end of the day they are drier. Three percent fee if you pay with card read more

I was looking for some good Chinese bakeries in Philly but couldn't find much outside of some bakeries Chinatown. The Dodo bakery focuses on Hong Kong-centric pastries, so I had to check it out. For the savory options, they do a steamed BBQ bun and it tastes much like what you would order at a dim sum restaurant, for a reasonable price of $2.50 per bun. They also serve various cakes and sweet buns that were pretty good. I ended up having the steamed custard bun, taro bun, and the pineapple bun, all tasty. The only thing I wasn't not as impressed with is the cinnamon roll, which arguable is more of an American item. I didn't see any egg tarts, but I heard you may have to ask for them behind the counter. The store is small and bright, so you have to get take-out. They also serve boba drinks, which looked good but I didn't get a chance to try. I'll have to come back and try more things from here the next time I'm in the area. read more

So Dodo Bakery popped up as a Yelp recommendation, and I realized that I was in need of roast pork buns. So I decided to take a long lunch and drive to South Philadelphia to experience the wonder that is Dodo. I got a couple of pork buns, a pineapple custard bun and a lemon custard bun. They were all okay (a lot more dough than filling), but definitely not worth the schlepp. read more

What a cute find. Lovely little bakery with tons of traditional Asian options (buns, custards, etc.). Mix of savory and sweet. We ended up getting a LOT of things as we had so much trouble deciding between everything and everything was so cheap! Some were better than others but definitely glad we got a nice array. They also sell bubble tea but we opted to skip this this time. read more

Their bread is perfect! Very nice vibe in there too :) love the tea as well. 10/10 would recommend!

Dodo bakery is a good addition to the south philly neighborhood for when you're craving Chinese/ Hong Kong style bread but doesn't want to go all the way to Chinatown. My favorite are the floss roll, the chicken sandwich and the sesame balls. Floss roll; the mayo (what I assume to be mayo) adds moisture to the bread and the floss roll balance the sweetness of the dough. Chicken in the bread is cooked well and vegetables always looks fresh; combining with the bread it comes with a good flavor profile. Sesame balls, I just like them. Sometimes the skin can be a bit too thick but it's still pretty good. I find their bread profile to be a bit too sweet sometimes that I find myself leaning toward their savory selections. I've purchased from them a few times and I have to say they seem to keep on improving themselves in term of their flavor, selections and service. Their first week of opening I didn't want to go back but I'm glad that I did. Overall, with their large selections of buns and drinks, there bound to be something you would like when you visit. read more

They have an amazingly large menu for such a small low key place. One of my favorite bakeries in Philly! read more

This place was nice. Parking is next to impossible. I ordered a matcha milk tea with regular sugar which was fairly sweet, even for me (self-proclaimed sweet tooth) but you can ask for half the sugar or even unsweetened. The pastries are 1-3 dollars so I got a bunch with red bean, taro, sweet cream - all were delicious. It is a small place so you might have to wait. I would return. read more

I stopped by the other day because the sign was too cute to pass by plus an Asian bakery on Oregon avenue in Philly ! Yes lemme see what they got! It's small but cute inside. Coffee was good. The two women behind counter were nice and u formative and helpful. If you want to try something new and different go here and give it a try. They have some unique stuff to try. I will definitely Turku try again when I'm in Philly. read more

I've been wanting to stop by this place after first trying a custom pandan cake from them at a Lunar New Year event earlier this year. It was oh so light and not too sweet, of course, so I assumed their other offerings would be just as good. I wasn't wrong! I came in on Sunday to get a pineapple custard bun (my fave Asian pastry!), pineapple coconut bun, egg tart, and strawberry sponge cake. I also paid for a durian pastry, which wasn't in the bag when I left, but after messaging the store, they offered to make sure I get one next time! Anyway, the pastries I did get were all excellent. Soft and creamy and crisp and flaky exactly where you'd want them to be. I need to get a lot more than one of each next time haha. The surprise standout to me was actually the strawberry sponge cake, which was dense but fluffy with ample cream. It was so perfect with a few sips of coffee! Given the variety of things that I tried, I'm confident that Dodo doesn't miss. Their store and branding is super cute, too. Can't wait to go back and try more things! read more

Love that there is an Asian bakery in South Philly! Everything made fresh and usually sold out by the end of the day! They are currently selling mooncakes for the Mid Autumn season. My favorite is the BBQ pork bun, the Chinese tamales (joong in Cantonese), egg tarts, the red bean cakes, almond cookies, and lychee smoothie. The staff there are so friendly. Saves me a trip to Chinatown as well read more

It was okay. Pricier than Chinatown and parking was pretty difficult. However if you're looking for Asian buns then this is a good substitute if you didn't want to make the trip into downtown. I say it was a C+ experience for me. I went around 3pm Sunday so maybe if you go when the buns are fresher it may be different but overall it was ok. read more

I have an obsession with pineapple buns that goes way back, and the pineapple buns here are my favorite in the city! I can't go anywhere else anymore and be satisfied. Although I'm unable to compare with any elsewhere, I have been particularly blown away by their sesame rice balls with bean paste filling. The rice dough is deep fried with a nutty savory flavor or the sesames and balanced with a savory sweet filling. They are extra super when they are fresh and served warm. They even have two types of custard cups, cookie and puff pastry. I prefer the cookie crust. I have tried many of their other options but there are my go-to's! read more

It was pretty full when I got there because school just ended, but I got a matcha latte with aloe (it was a last min. topic decision because they ran out of tapioca pearls that day) and my friend got a strawberry milk tea. Both were great, and the server genuinely seemed like a nice guy. We also got a pineapple bun and butter cookies (they were kinda pricey) and they were rlly good! I'll definitely come again to try a few more of their drink options. read more

Came here to pick up a bag of breads and pastries last weekend. Store was pretty empty by the time I came (around 5:30) so come early! I got - 4 pandan egg tarts - 1 ham and egg bun - 1 snow mountain bun - 1 butter and sugar bun Unfortunately, the ham and egg bun was moldy so I can't comment on the taste. The other two buns were pretty dry and flavorless. The butter and sugar bun had a super light sugar glaze and I think butter slivers inside and the snow mountain bun had a slight sugary crust on top. Both bread portions were very dry. The egg tarts were okay but the custard part was more jello like in consistency and more sugary than I was used to. The crust was also not flaky pastry crust but a cookie crust (just as a headsup!) service was super friendly, but would probably go back to the Asian bakeries in Chinatown instead. read more

First let me start off by saying the nicest people work there. They told me if I wanted any egg custard tarts, I can call early that morning and pick it up in the afternoon. So I ordered their famous pandam tarts that sell out every morning because no one else makes these and thought it would be a unique Thanksgiving dessert. Everyone thought they were good but that it tasted like a regular dan tat (egg custard tart). There was not a bit of pandam flavor at all! It was very disappointing since we all love pandam. Maybe it was just a fluke. I hope because I like to support local businesses. read more

Dodo is such a gem. We stopped by to grab some pastries on the way to an Easter brunch, and everything was a hit! I'm so happy to have a sweet little place like this in the neighborhood. I'm ashamed to say we took way too long to try it out, and I don't know why. Maybe because Frangelli's is right there? Thankfully Dodo's business hours coincide with my lack of planning ahead, because whenever I try to do a quick run by Frangelli's (like this morning), they're closed. This place has a very different vibe, and both are great. Highly recommend. read more

So crazy to spend $13 on just one single Durian mooncake. I saw it on the little red book (A Chinese software), which stated that HANDMADE mooncakes are selling on Doordash and a box contained four mooncakes. However, on their instagram, it stated that INDIVIDUAL mooncakes are selling on Doordash and to order a box of four needed to order through the link in their bio. I am not sure the discrepancy is simply resulted from translation, which I highly doubt since the other parts were translated perfectly accurately. It is so annoying to be fooled because you just spoke the same kind of language with the seller! All in all, $13 for one simple small mooncake. To the seller's response: you could totally spend hours and hours to make a mooncake full of artificial durian flavor as you wish. Personally, I choose to not spend 13 on it. read more

Cutest little bakery with consistent and delicious treats! I haven't had anything bad yet, would definitely recommend the pineapple custard bun and the curry chicken bun for something savory. I'll always appreciate the service as well, friendly and helpful! read more

The place has arguably one of the best milk teas in the city. Their desserts are pretty incredible as well. Call ahead to make sure they have bubbles if you want that in your milk tea, because they run out of boba. Mango milk tea, highly recommend. read more

I came around 10:15 am in the morning and everything was fresh and yummy. My boyfriend doesn't like carb too much but he always down to eat dodo breads. We absolutely love the pizza bread and you really can't go wrong with the cream bun. Next time we will definitely try the ham&cheese and the chicken sandwhich read more

Legit Asian bakery and nicest people. I'd never seen a pandan egg custard tart before and I loved it. They do a solid cocktail bun. You can't go wrong, I've never had anything bad here. When I had COVID I ordered some buns and boba for delivery and it came quick and fresh. You can also find a selection of their buns at First Oriental Market, near the checkout line. They do custom cakes but make sure you fill out a form in advance- they need a couple weeks notice! read more

A cute bakery with yummy snacks and milk tea. My family and I visited the first time about a week ago and enjoyed our choices immensely. I recommend the char siu bun, sticky rice dumpling, and taro milk tea, and my parents loved the cream buns. read more

This Asian bakery is legit, especially considering it's all the way down by Oregon Ave in South Philly in the middle of nowhere. In comparison you'd need to go to the Chinatown bakery so glad there is a DoDo here. I've had a lot of Asian bakeries from here and back in nyc so I can judge(I hope). Their bread is pretty authenticate, I got the pineapple bread(not actual pineapple bread but shaped like one), the custard bread, corn bread, pork floss bread and milky cream cheese bread? The price is a little bit higher $2 now each vs probably $1.5-$2 in Chinatown but I don't blame them their bread sizes are bigger and more filled. I like the crust and texture of the breads, honestly I've never been a fan of KC bread but DoDo bread seems more natural in taste. I still think my favorite bakery is Mayflower in Chinatown since the breads almost always come out hot and flaky. Went to DoDo in the morning and bread didn't seem to be hot or anything so maybe it was made a while ago, would be great for hotter/smaller batches but I don't blame them with the lack of foot traffic in area. Overall go support them in the local Philly community! Would recommend highly, just wish they offered milk/raisin loafs and pork and cabbage buns! read more

We went here to pick up pastries for ourselves and a few neighbors on our black block because they were one of the few shops open early on Sunday. We really enjoyed the raisin roll, the small custard pies, the pineapple and custard roll, and the roll with hotdogs (like a sweet hotdog donut!). The prices were very reasonable and the pastries were light and delicious. I highly recommend this place! It is a great addition to South Philly. read more

While having a lazy Saturday afternoon & watching a Netflix baking show, I found myself craving pastries. Dodo Bakery opened only a few blocks from my home months ago & I'd been meaning to give it a try. I peeled myself off the couch, walked down, & the moment I opened the door to the tiny bakery I was greeted by a delicious buffet of baked good choices. It was so hard to pick, but I chose a bag of steamed pork buns, a sweet lemon coconut pastry, & a savory breakfast-style pastry to enjoy on my Sunday morning. The pork buns are huge! The lemon coconut bun was so tasty & satisfied my craving for sweets. Thank you, Dodo Bakery! It's so wonderful to have you in the neighborhood. read more

Love Do Do Bakery! I had been ordering Do Do Bakery for my company events many time. Highly recommended! All bakeries that I ordered every time, people will give lot of compliments. Fresh and tasty, truly Hong Kong style. I started to order large orders from Do Do bakeries since summer time. The bakeries were fresh and never had any problem. Excellent customer service! When I saw someone leave a bad comment, I believed this person had no comment sense. If you don't place the Ham and egg bun in the fridge for a couple of days of course it will turn bad. The other items I had tried before, they are tasty and good quality. Not as that person mentioned. I did browsing all different websites, people rated five stars! I only shop with confidential and good food for my clients. So far Do Do Bakery is the best bakery in Philadelphia. I will rate 10 stars ! read more
