Their $6 log cakes are my absolute favorite they come so many different flavors.. the cakes are super airy and light not super sweet that is actually why I love this place! I am not into heavy and sugary sweet cakes I like light, airy and not too sweet cakes and pink box delivers that every time for me. Oh and also, make sure to try their breads yum! read more

This place is not AMAZING compared to the bakeries in New York or other big cities with large asian populations, but considering that it's in Pittsburgh, I would say that it's pretty awesome! The pastries and bread are always fresh, and the people who work there are pretty nice. I like the prices as well! read more

Bought three pastries here. One of them was good, service was a little sketchy, I'm pretty sure the lady at the register pulled a Houdini and double charged us 7 dollars. Authentic taste, but I want my money back #wheredembands read more

I love that there is a Taiwanese bakery in Pittsburgh now. I always stock up on Chinese pastries when I visit family in NYC or Boston, which are pretty similar. When I ran across this place this morning I was so excited that I went right in even though I had stopped at another bakery just moments before. The workers were all getting ready for the day; one decorating a cake and another preparing something in the back. I was pleasantly greeted by a girl and chatted with her a bit. They didn't have a lot of options yet because they had just opened but they did have a few freshly baked buns on racks. I got a pineapple bun and a bun with hot dog and green onion. They were fresh out of the oven and still pretty hot. I couldn't wait to go home to try one so I sat down at the little table outside and ate the hot dog bun. The bread was light and fluffy and it was even better than the generic hotdog buns I am use to from Boston or NYC. I ate the pineapple bun later for lunch and the bread was also light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness. The pineapple topping was not the typical Chinese crust. It was much lighter but still very pleasant. I will definitely be back to try more things! read more

Stopped here to pick up some dessert for my mom's birthday. I didn't want to tempt her with a whole cake so I got two slices of strawberry cake and two fruit custard pies. Mann they were good. Not too sweet but very flavorful plus they came in a cute box! The place reminded me of grocery stores and small bakery cafes in Japan. I'd definitely go back! read more

Taste: 3/5 Definitely not on par with the asian bakery of NYC/LA/SD. This taste includes bread/cake/tiramisu. Price: 2/5 I cant understand paying 3 dollars for bread that is stale and the filling is bland. I do frequent this place more times that I want, being the only asian bakery in town. The employee there is not chinese. She has no Idea what I am asking when I saw taro, or red bean....or black sesame (didnt know what that was) read more

Uhmm it wasn't what I expected-I, along with lady friends, were looking for some sweet treats late night and found this place on YELP-was hoping for a more traditional bakery, yet the strawberry cake was light and tasty although would have rather had a more heavier, sweeter, denser strawberry cake-nothing against the bakery though read more

The pork roll with green onion is to die for! It's a cute place and I will stop again! The roll was light and airy yet savory and flavorful. The bread itself definitely had an egg wash ( my guess) since it was a nice light brown golden color. The green onion is slight and complimentary to the savory shredded pork. read more

Not sure what to think of this place. One the one hand, this is one of the only breadhouses that I know of in Pittsburgh, but man is it overpriced. Coming from Philly and having been to other cities like NYC, Boston, and DC, prices at this joint are at least three to four times more expensive than the pastries that I can get in the cities I just mentioned. Do like the varieties though and the fact that they really do try to experiment with different recipes of pastries, but man is the price for one a little bit hard to swallow. read more

Ok b/c I don't have any other options in Pittsburgh. Compared to what you get in major cities like NYC, Philly, SF, etc....it is very overpriced for mediocre taste. read more

Their red bean buns are the only thing I've had here, and they are the only thing I need to have. Most red bean buns you buy are just a bun stuffed with red bean paste so you get a mouthful of red bean in the middle and nothing but bun on the sides. Pink box makes it so that it's even all the way through, like they layered the top of the bun on top of the paste instead of just injecting paste into it. They also have some sesame seed kind of things on top and I love sesame seeds. I literally cannot have any other red bean buns after coming here. read more

Mmmmmm so delicious. I was so excited to hear about a new chinese bakery in town and they did not disappoint! I tried two different buns and the lotus moon cakes, all very good but the lotus moon cakes were INCREDIBLE. There are also a variety of non-chinese bakery items that looked delectable as well. Pricing is ok - not the cheapest but worth the quality of their food. Will most definitely be returning to try out more items! read more

This was my first time trying Taiwanese food and it was epic. This has got to be one of the best bakeries that I have had in Pittsburgh. The rolls were made fresh and were simply delicious. If you are in squirrel Hill, I would definitely give it a try! read more

Delightful. All the classics of Asian baked goods. We had a range of goodies: topping the list were the scallion bun, the ham, cheese and onion bun, and the thick cut perfectly square bread loaf. Which were all excellent. The egg custard was good, not great. Looking forward to an even larger selection of options as they grow. read more

I love this place! I come here really often. The service is very nice and pleasant. Their bubble tea is the best in the area. The prices are pretty affordable. Definitely recommend! read more

I don't really understand why there are so many good reviews of this place. I was super disappointed in everything I purchased. I tried the Taro Bun, the Custard bun, and the Japanese cheesecake and I was disappointed in every one. On top of that the lady working guilted us into buying a bubble tea (I usually don't buy bubble tea from any places in Pittsburgh besides Fuku Tea or Kung Fu tea because I'm usually disappointed in other bubble teas.) She wouldn't take no for an answer and just kept suggesting different bubble teas even when we said we weren't interested. Eventually we caved and bought the tea. Big surprise the bubble tea was terrible. She made the matcha by mixing matcha powder with tap water, the boba was undercooked (but surprising flavored okay) and the red bean topping was absolutely disgusting. The beans literally just fell apart in the drink and it was just undrinkable. I don't suggest coming here. It really wasn't good and the worker made us feel very uncomfortable by basically forcing us to buy bubble tea. read more

Wow! I did not think that I would see the day where there would be a Chinese bakery in Pittsburgh tho most likely because of lack of competition and volume compared to other big cities they charge the prices they do. A friend suggested we try Pink Box Bakery Cafe. I hesitated this round to try my favorites but settled on a pork and chive bun at the suggestion of the staff, who are friendly. It was tasty!! My friend was happy with her ham and cheese bun. I'll be back for more - maybe try my beloved egg tarts and sweet bun - though there is a $10 minimum with the credit card and they don't offer tap water (no cups). They will have moon cakes though! Will keep that in mind for the festivals next year. There was seating outside but otherwise no where to sit inside. read more

I can't speak on the authenticity of these beautiful pastries but they not only look great, they also taste great. I love that they also have a selection of savory pastries which are my absolute favorite. I've tried the bbq pork buns, both the roasted ones and baked puff pastry ones. These are just amazing and I love getting a bunch of them and reheating them in the oven/toaster oven for breakfast. Both kinds are buttery, savory and slightly sweet. Their sweet pastries are just how dhiI haven't tried much in their refrigerated cases but I am always in awe of how beautiful they are. The only downfall is there is a $10 minimum for credit cards, which it can be hard to spend a whole ten dollars sometimes. Unless you're getting a bunch for later like I do, bring cash. Otherwise, these pastries make great snacks! read more

The baked goods here are as authentic as it can get! They also carry non Asian pastries which are as amazing. The owners are always friendly and knowledgeable about the pastries they serve! It's a really special treat to have an authentic bakery in squirrel hill! read more

My favorite cake place. Their cakes r beautifully decorated with nice details. The cakes themselves are not too sweet, perfect for Asian and European taste. The fruits r fresh read more

I got a piece of mango cake and a pineapple bun for my manfriend and I. Needless to say I ate both..lol so good. The pineapple bun is perfection. read more

Great Chinese bakery! Makes me feel like home. The bread and egg tarts taste amazing! Hope they will have more items in the future.

They have this green tea bun with red bean paste in it and it's sooooo delicious!

Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful staff with pastries and buns that make your mouth water. Truly a gem amongst the typical hum-drum sweets options, even a basic white cake with strawberries are to die for! read more

Hmm, not in Chinatown! Disappointed... was advertised as Chinese bake products. Looked like it, but wasn't the authentic deal. Egg custard tarts were too doughy, BBQ buns were heavy, and the establishment didn't even use the "traditional" pink box for take out orders. Will have to wait for another trip to SF Chinatown or at least the one in NYC, Good try owners.....but no cigars, so to speak! Or "bu hao" read more

Napoleon was very dry. Instead of puff pastry they used some sort of cookie reminiscent of a biscotti and instead of cream, icing. The few other items we bought seemed over priced. Overall a disappointing visit. read more

Over priced. I'm used to prices in bigger cities so I was surprised that most buns costed more than $2, while they usually cost just a buck in other cities. However I was able to overlook this since Pittsburgh doesn't have a large Chinatown. Now the taste...if you've never had good asian bakery before, you should come check this out. But it's definitely not great by any means. The layout of the store and packaging of the buns are very cute. The taste is unfortunately lacking. I got the macha bun and pineapple bun, both were flavorless. Granted I did come to the store at 6pm so the food aren't out of the oven fresh, but it doesn't explain the lack in taste. I would come back in the morning to see if the quality is any better read more

Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. I went specifically for the sesame brittle which was tasty (although I'm still ISO the old fashioned sesame candies). I'll definitely go back. read more

a bit pricey than expected, and as i go there for a couple times i feel like the size is getting smaller while the price stays the same, so that is a bit discouraging especially when it is such a new store! the taste is good but i dont think some pieces are worth the price, especially when you can get a similar product for less money right across the street at sumi's. read more

If you are looking for delicious fluffy buns, this is the place. I tried about six different buns and they were sweet but not overly sweet. They have a very nice selection of many different flavors. My favorites were the red bean paste, the one with almonds and the hotdog one. They even have breakfast buns with ham and cheese. They also have pastries that I plan on trying next time I go. This would be a great place to stop by on your way to school or work. Their customer service is great. The people at the front greet you warmly and are very helpful. read more

This is my to-go shop in Squirrel Hill to satisfy sweet cravings. My favorite items are the red bean bun and the coconut bread and bun. I did not like the chocolate filled bun they have, it was bland. Also, don't miss the small cookies they make (I don't know if they had "names")! They are sitting quietly at the back of the store next to the wall on the left. Perfect cookies to go with tea! In general, I like that their pastries are not too sweet, unlike your usual American sweets. read more

Pink box has a nice assortment of buns and other pastries for a Chinese bakery located in Pittsburgh. I got the strawberry bun, a slice of lychee cake and coconut bread. The lychee cake was just a tad too sweet for my taste but otherwise very moist and fresh. I made french toast with the coconut bread and WOW! I will be back to buy more it! The strawberry bun was nice, not too sweet but also buttery. read more

I really love pink box, they have such a wide variety and so many bubble tea flavors. Bubble tea is my favorite thing. They have layer cakes, mousse, and so many bread items! I definitely love going to pink box,and it's the highlight of my day when I go. I recommend it for birthdays or even just to hang out- and try bubble tea when you do!! read more

I needed a birthday cake and came across Pink Box on Yelp so decided to check them out. (I live nearby but somehow missed noticing a new bakery in my neighborhood.) The owner and staff were welcoming and informative and the cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. I'll be back to try more of their offerings! read more

Good, but I think Sumi's Cakery down the road has them beat in price and taste. I give Pink Box 4/5 because of their good selection and nice variety of savory items. read more

This is an awesome bakery that has interesting pastries. I loved all the Taro pastries. Their bubble tea was incredible as well!!!

This is the very best place for bubble tea in Pittsburgh,I am sorry when i get it elseware. Also, you have to try the mooncakes, the red bean paste ome is really great and also try thr taro pastry! read more

This is a cute little bakery. The have sweet and savory treats. I like how they make their cakes with just the right amount of sweetness without being too sweet. Their curry fold overs are to die for :))) wish they had a little more of a selection though. read more

Awesome n fresh stuff.. N I like d timings too.. Unlike a lota pastry shops I found in Pittsburgh they don't close at 3 pm!
