"10/10. I am now a man of faith. That faith is carbs." I will never be able to do better than Eric's amazing review, so I'll just suggest you do yourself a treat and read that instead. Then go here and get something delicious Such a delight to discover this place. So much talent leading to so much deliciousness. Great bakery space - small, but bright and with many enticing options. The service is kind - the owners are nice. We are so lucky to have HAMU. As someone who fueled his early 20s with curry pastries and bao, HAMU is a revelation. It's not Mott St, it's heaven. read more

I went to HAMU Bakery for the first time recently. The hours are a bit odd (I wish they were open in the morning as I associate a lot of bakery items as morning / mid-morning treats), but I finally made my way to try after having on my list for a while to check out. A lot of the items were gone / sold out already. I asked the woman at the counter (possibly owner?) what she recommended and said it was my first time in. She was so nice! Great customer service. I ordered a few of the items she recommended (that weren't already sold out) and they were all amazing. read more

Bolo bao (pineapple bun) and durian crepe cake ($7 a slice) are all I need. I'm glad this place has both. Service has been friendly and welcoming both times I've come. Fair warning--come too late in the day and the shelves will be pretty empty although there may be stuff left in the display case. There are some stools by the front, but this bakery is definitely more of a grab-and-go place. read more

Friends and neighbors have been raving about this place and I'm so glad that I finally made it over. The people who work here are so sweet and helpful and they directed me towards lots of delicious things. I especially loved their almond pastry with layers of almond paste- oh my goodness I died and went to almond heaven! We also tried cream puff buns, and some kind of bun with nuts (walnuts?) in them- I can't remember the name of them. I will definitely be back to try more fun stuff! You should definitely check this place out. read more

HAMU Bakery - Different, decadent, delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I finally stop in here to check out this bakery. It was mid day and not too many people in the shop. Inside deco is cute. Decorated with live plants, miniature handmade crafts and toys. The staff working there was very kind. They have a good assortment of pastries and desserts. I opted for their rolls to try. It was delicious. I don't recall a sitting area. It's a kind of place that you go in to pickup and go. The shop is so close to home and I never knew about it till now. read more

HAMU bakery was such a good find. I came here for their crepe cake that comes in so many different flavors - taro, tiramisu, durian, matcha. It's a no brainer for durian!!! I ate one at the store and had to buy 3 more slices to go because it was heavenly good, especially if you love durian like me : ). Bolo bao was really good as well. Customer service was great - the lady at the counter was so kind and welcoming. Highly recommended. read more

What a great find! Wonderful Asian bakery with many different sweet rolls at reasonable pricing. Not sweet like European rolls

I walked into this Taiwanese bakery expecting to grab a quick treat. Nothing dramatic. Just a little snack. A bun or two. Maybe a pastry. I was not expecting to have a full-blown spiritual awakening between bites--but here we are. The woman behind the counter greeted me with a smile warmer than the inside of a fresh red bean bun. She didn't speak English. I don't speak Mandarin. We just stood there, smiling awkwardly, united by a shared understanding that something beautiful was about to happen. I pointed at a pineapple bun. She nodded like a wise monk who had seen thousands walk this path before. First bite? I left my body. My eyes rolled back so far I saw childhood memories I forgot I had. I was transported to another dimension made entirely of soft, golden carbs. I could feel my chakras aligning. My taxes suddenly made sense. I forgave my enemies. I understood love. I don't know what they put in that bun. I don't know if it was butter, magic, or the quiet power of an auntie who has been baking since before I was born--but I ascended. Then I tried the taro bun. I wept. It was so creamy, so perfectly balanced, it was like being hugged by the universe. I tried thanking her--I said "Thank you!" and bowed slightly, hands together like I was at temple. She smiled and nodded. Maybe she didn't understand the words, but she definitely understood what her pastries had just done to me. At one point, I just stood in the corner of the bakery, eyes wide, clutching a custard bun like it was a newborn. I wasn't even chewing anymore--I was communing. TL;DR: This bakery didn't just feed me. It baptized me. 10/10. I am now a man of faith. That faith is carbs. read more

Great pastries for the flight or travel. Or to bring to family when visiting them. The owner Hamlett makes great creative stuff. read more

HAMU Bakery - Raisin Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Taiwanese bakery similar to 85 Degrees & JJ Bakery in CA. Call or order ahead on their site. They do special orders. Love their crepe cakes, savory breads w/ pork sung, chocolate polo, chocolate ice cream bread, breads w/ taro, & teas w/ sea salt cream. All of the desserts are not too sweet which is the BEST pairing to their teas. Make sure to eat the chocolate ice cream bread ASAP before it melts! Thankfully we brought a cooler w/ ice packs so it survived our drive home. The staff are kind & asked if my drink was sweet enough. They adjust the sweetness level from 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, to 100%. The baker just took out some Portuguese egg tarts freshly hot from the oven when we just arrived. Delish w/ that caramelized top! The bakery is a to go or delivery spot so find a great park nearby to eat or in our case by the bakery parking lot eating freshly baked egg tarts. They have cute knitted items & hair ties by the register & dog treats. Sometimes they have dog treats for your dog to eat. They also have frozen homemade dumplings from Jasmine Garden which is right next door to HAMU Bakery. read more

HAMU Bakery - French Toast - Bakeries Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

The first time I tried their baked goods was years ago at their Lawrence location and I have always remembered their Snow White pastry. It was so light, fluffy, and the custard in the middle was "not too sweet." So glad they opened a location here! We got the Snow White, matcha crepe slice, basque cheesecake, and fluffy cheesecake and will be back to try the other pastries. I highly recommend the Snow White! If you're looking for the bakery, the sign does not say HAMU, it says "Beyond Bread Bakery" read more

It is what a bakery should smell like , which strangely is more important rest for authenticity. They gave specific instructions for each item and re heating prior to consuming. The service was excellent. And the taste was nothing like I've had. Each item had perfect balance of soft pillowy texture but savory and not too sweet. Watch out scale here comes hamu bakery read more

The best pastries I've had in a long time! Been wanting to try this bakery for a long time now and I am so happy that I did! Right when you walk into the door you smell the fresh baked goods immediately, we were greeted with a smile and felt welcomed! The taste of the baked goods sent us down the road of our childhood, from the california Goldilocks . That's how good the pastries were! We got teary eyed in the car... we tasted our childhood. Will go again!!!! read more

These pastries are the closest thing in KC to some of my favorite snacks from studying abroad in Hong Kong, and I'll definitely be back. A third of the photos are in the car because I couldn't wait until I got home to try them, and a third of the photos aren't even pictured because I was too excited about the rest and forgot. Double take of the Tiger Roll because she's beautiful from all angles. Basically, go try Beyond Bread. I got the Polo (Pineapple) Bun, the Tiger Roll, a Scallion and Pork Floss Bun, a Matcha Crepe Cake, a Ham and Cheese Bun, a Snow White, Passion Fruit Panna Cotta, and one of the cheesecakes. Everything was fresh, just the right level of sweet, and very reasonably priced. If you're not sure what to try, I would definitely recommend the Tiger Roll, the Snow White (kind of like a cakier cream puff), and the Passionfruit Panna Cotta. If you're in a cake mood, the crepe cake slices were great and 10/10 times I would recommend them over Tous Les Jour's cake slices. The savory items weren't my favorite here but I'd still be happy to pick up another Pork Floss (dried and shredded pork) and Scallion Bread if I'm in the area and looking for something more substantial than a pastry. read more

First time checking this place out and I will be going back! The decoration and aesthetic of the store is super cute and bright. There is a display of pastries varying from sweet to savory. I got the durian, matcha, and taro crepe cake. They were so delectable and such a delicacy. The taro flavor wasn't overpowering and had a soft filling. The matcha one was frozen and tasted more like green tea but the flavors were really present which I enjoyed. My favorite was the durian one. If you've never tried durian, please try this! Durian is a fruit from Asia and tastes so amazing in this crepe cake. The service was great! He was really helpful in helping me pick out what I was looking for. The pricing on these items are around the same as other Asian bakeries. This place was great and I will be ordering more from here in the future! read more

Little quaint bakeshop! My love for Matcha made me choose the Green Tea Mousse right off the bat as well as the Basque Cheesecake. Chris chose the Green Tea Almond Cookies knowing I'll eat the rest of them. All 3 were amazing, but the cheesecake was my favorite. It was rich, creamy and decadent! The young man at the register was very courteous and efficient. He mentioned they are adding pho soon! read more

Staff is super nice! Very authentic bread! Always fresh and tasty when I come to buy bread.

I liked the cheerful service and unique pastries at this new pastry shop, which featured some Asian items. My four-piece tiger roll ($3.99) tasted great, with a moist, spongy cake and plenty of creamy goodness. The menu included cakes, cookies, crepes and breads. They did not offer a dining area. read more

I was so excited to see an Instagram story about this bakery (and a little sad that I don't live as close to this place as I used to). Their hours aren't great for me, but we were able to find time to stop in on a Saturday to grab several items to try. We were trying very hard to not purchase one of every item in this cute little shop. We each grabbed several random items to try. The staff was very friendly. My favorite item was the double cheese bread. I have dreams about it. I think the key is the loads of toasty cheese paired with the sweet bread! I also got the pork floss bread, which wasn't my favorite thing (but it was a personal preference thing, not that anything was wrong with it). I chose a buttermilk roll/bread, which also was not my taste, but I'm sure would be loved by others. Another item we enjoyed was called Snow White. We both really liked them, although I thought an addition of a bit of a strawberry or fruity flavor would add a bit of a welcome zing to the treat. We look forward to going back and trying other offerings! read more

After years of wishing for a chinese bakery in KC I finally found one- and turns out they've been open since 2013! It's a small bakery with both sweet and savory pastries each around $3. I've gotten the green onion + pork floss bun both times I've been and it's one of the best ones I've ever had. They put a generous amount of pork floss so there's no bland bites. Their fluffy japanese cheesecakes are the best I've ever tried (and I am a fluffy cheesecake fanatic). While most fluffy cheesecakes struggle with finding the balance between airiness and cheese flavor, their pillow top cake was so light with the perfect cheesy tang. I'm in love! read more

Cute little bakery with staple Taiwanese baked goods. I love their roll cakes- super soft with a spongy texture! Their egg tarts are perfect and I always grab their cheesecake bites since they are so cheap! The baked goods are all super affordable so I always end up getting way more stuff than I plan on haha. Their cakes however are quite pricy especially if you want a whole cake. Inlive their green tea crepe cake. They sell out of a lot of the better items so go early if you can! read more

First time visiting this new Bakery. I walked in and was immediately welcomed by the owners. As I looked around they generously handed me samples of the products I was interested in. Oh WOW...talk about tasty melt in your mouth!!! I ended up buying several items. I will definitely be going back once I eat all I bought. They even gave me a couple of extra samples to try. The Bakery was very clean and but simple. I highly recommend you checking this place out!! read more

This bakery is the real deal! Truly authentic tasting Taiwanese buns/cakes.

Needless to say, we ate everything fairly quickly. The people there take so much pride in their work and it shows. read more

I have waited for this day in KC for over 10 years! From now on, I will be driving 35 mins each week for Taiwanese bread. They serve the same breads as places like 85 Degrees or JJ Bakery in CA, but on a significantly smaller scale of course. Hey, this is a start! As someone who is Taiwanese, these are all my favorite flavors from childhood. This is a Taiwanese bakery! (Let's be clear, we shouldn't be using the term oriental because it's inappropriate.) Taiwanese bakery filling flavors/bread textures are going to be a little different than other Asian bakeries you might've tried in KC. It's different than Korean bakeries, different than HK-style Chinese bakeries...so it's definitely going to taste different than TLJ or 888. I hope you'll try it! Here are my recs/favorite things to order: -Pineapple bun (aka bolo, if they have it) -Anything w/pork sung -Hot dog breads -Desserts! read more

A quaint and wonderful Cantonese bakery! This spot has some great baked goods that really hit that authentic Cantonese taste. I particularly love their pork floss & green onion buns, Polo Bao's (Pineapple Buns), and the crepe cakes. The shop is pretty small but clean and bright!
