I love this bakery. I've only tried their buns (which are great), but I finally got to try their bingsoo today! Got the green tea one and it was amazing. The portion was big, so it was perfect for sharing. The staff was also very nice, and offered to give us extra matcha powder. I also saw her giving a cup of corn tea to a customer for free. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Sumi's Cakery - Bakeries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I stopped by Sumi's for an afternoon snack and decided on a strawberry cream bun. It was a white bun sliced in half with light, fluffy, strawberry-flavored cream sandwiched in the middle. The cream was the perfect amount of sweet. I will definitely be back to try the other items. read more

Ordered a rose water cake for my wife's birthday. It was ready for pickup by the next day and came out delicious. My wife loved it and it was beautifully made. read more

Perfect bakery for the typical Korean college student that misses his or her local Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours. The pastries can get a bit pricey (they start from about $2 and can go up to $6), but that's usually what they cost back at home as well. I always come about thrice a semester to share some shaved ice over good conversation with my girlfriends. The lighting is a little dim, which sets the perfect atmosphere for a little catching up with old friends and the owner is super friendly and sweet as well. 10/10 would recommend their cakes and shaved ice desserts! read more

Sumi's Cakery - Bakeries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Everything in this cakery is delicious. I have probably tried every bun and cake available and none have failed me yet. The only caveat is you have to go earlier in order to get what you want because they run out very fast during the day. read more

The prices were good ($1.50 to $2 per pastry). I only had two things: the red bean and the taro cream bun. The red bean was amazing. The taro cream was not, because it simply tasted like it was filled with whipped topping. I'm giving this an average rating until I return and try the other pastries. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday after hearing about it throughout college! It's very nicely decorated on the inside and the people working there were really nice and helpful! Got the taro cream bun and it was great! Good ratio of cream to Bun and the cream wasn't super sweet or too rich. They have a great range of sweet, savory, and plain buns, including coffee, green tea, and chocolate flavors (to name a few). Serving yourself is easy, as they have a stack of trays near the door for you to easily begin compiling your inevitable multi-bun purchase. read more

Small Korean bakery. Love the bulgogi and sausage bread. Beautiful cakes and cupcakes. Limited amount of baked goods each day, come early! They also have binsoo, the Korean shaved ice with red bean and Mochi! read more

Sumi's Cakery - Strawberry cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

See all

Sumi's cakes! Imo you can't go wrong with the mango or strawberry flavors. No heavy, sugar dense frosting, just a lightly sweet whipped cream and a soft, fluffy crumb. Get one for a dinner/party & everyone will ask where you got such a delightful dessert. Green tea bubble tea! A strong green tea flavor and soft boba (v important) read more

I just cannot describe how awesome their buns are. Even though I have been to Korea, I have to say their bus still stand out. I tried green tea/coffee/cherry flavors and all of them are pretty good. They r very fresh and tasty. But be sure to go early. They won't have anything left after 6p.m. especially on weekdays. read more

I've tried many of the sweet rolls, and I've never been disappointed. My favorites are the green tea bun and the larger bun with almonds on top and the cream strip in the middle. everything tastes very fresh and not too sweet. The bubble tea is also great, my favorites are mango and lavender. The staff is always super friendly, and it's never too busy. read more

I've been wanting to try Sumi for a longest time but they don't open on Mondays (and that's my day off!) so it was just hard to get in for me. Finally I got to try it about a few months ago and oh my goodness, it did not disappoint! Sumi is so different than all the other Asian bakeries that I've been to in Pgh. I absolutely love their coffee, blueberry and matcha green tea buns. All of their pastries are not overly sweet and I appreciate that so much. I've also heard so much about the yummy cakes that I want to get my hands on one day! If you like Korean pastries or sweets in general, you have to give this a try! You won't be disappoint. read more

I would not hesitate to give the place five stars. If you are korean or Asian who knows the delicate taste of red bean paste, get the red bean paste Bun. This small shop makes better red bean bun than major chain bakeries like Paris baguette or tous les jour of Korea. Even my mother, who was traveling from Korea, admitted that sumi's red bean bun was excellent. If you don't know the taste of red beans, start with buttercream bread. My american friend was reluctant to try it at first, but she fell in love with it once she did. Their mocha(coffee) buns are great too, especially when hot. They bake everything on premise everyday. Cash only, and they aren't open on Mondays! (I walked all the way to the bakery last Monday to find it closed :( but this place is a gem! read more

This place may have just earned my favorite to go place for Asian pastries. Freshly made each day to go, there is just a bunch of yummyness and win with each one. Can't really go wrong with any of them. Also, if you are into desserts, please get the Green Tea Ice Cream Shaved Ice combo ... you will so not regret it! read more

All of the baked items are handmade on the premises! If you're lucky, you'll even get your pastries warm from the Korean lady who made them. The selection is a bit limited (no problem, she's really good at what she does make), but the quality is top notch and very authentic. read more

Stopped after lunch and was a excellent surprise. Their breads and buns are very fresh and soft and most of all the cream filling inside is not too sweet. The filling and the fresh bread is a great together. Glad I stop in, will be back soon! read more

I went to Sumi's Cakery for the first time today and picked up two buns: a mocha cream bun and another that I forget the name of. I didn't think much of the mocha cream bun at first: the flat, nondescript bun wasn't very eye-catching and didn't seem to have much cream in the middle. However, I was proven wrong. It was So. Freaking. Good. The bread is so soft and fluffy and the cream is smooth, silky, and has just the right amount of sweetness. There's not a lot of cream, but it still packs plenty of flavor and the overall bun is not too sweet. I finished the entire thing in about two minutes--it was that good. I'm leaving this review at 4 stars until I can return and try some of their other offerings! Will definitely be back (to buy all of the mocha cream buns, that is). Meanwhile, it's going to take all my willpower not to immediately shove the other bun I bought into my mouth right now. read more

We had red bean shaved ice, milk tea and got couple buns. We are very impressed with everything. The lady did a wonderful job to the shaved ice. 4 if us finsihed it and we are so happy read more

This is the best asian bakery in pittsburgh. Pink box is not as good. Her prices are OK. I have high standards coming from the West coast and also East coast experiences. She is also very nice. Breads: very simple breads, standard. Nothing fancy. Taste is good Cake: very korean. not too sweet, and unique. I love the sweet potato one. She uses the purple kind. The cake prices were a bit pricey. I got a medium cake for 10 people. Cost 65 dollars. Boba/bubble tea: hands down the BEST bubble tea in pittsburgh/oakland area (vs rose tea, vs. everyday ramen, vs. asian place in schendly park) She also has interesting flavors including Lavender/Rose. read more

Love their pastries very nice experience. Their cafe decor is also nice and (sort of) fancier than other bakeries. Worth to stop by and try their green tea bun. read more

Sumi's Cakery - Love it - Bakeries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The thing I like most about asian bakeries is that the pastries aren't too sweet. I tried the red bean bun, along the chocolate cupcake. Both were very good. There are a bunch more flavors, so I'll definitely have to come back and try the others. I love the care and attention the owner took when packing up my cupcake. No more having to worry about smashed cupcakes after a ride in the car! read more

Sumi's Cakery - chocolate buttercream cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Came here towards the end of the day. There was only one piece of cake left that was so so delicious, fluffy and moist. So far, it's been the best cake I've tasted in Pittsburgh. The only downside to this place is it's very tiny inside and seats are limited. I'll definitely come back earlier to try to snag a piece of green tea cake. read more

Cakes are the best! Green tea cake and blackberries cake were very good.

I had two little pieces of strawberry cake which cost total $10. For a small portion of cake I expected to have more strawberry inside. The cake is good, but I think Whole Food's cake is better. read more

I LOVE this bakery!! Not only are the pastries delicious but the atmosphere is very relaxing and welcoming. The first time that I came here was in the winter. The three of got some buns and a red bean shaved ice. The shave ice was delicious! The owner gave us free barley tea as we were really cold. She was really nice and accommodating. We also got a green tea cake for a friend's birthday. The cake was small but delicious! read more

Their bubble tea is quite good as are their green tea buns. I do wish they had more overall selection, as their items are a bit more limited than some other places. But I do like their stuff. read more

beautiful place and delicious food and bubble tea! the staff and sweet and you can tell that they work hard as a bakery. highly recommended (: read more

We stopped in for a small treat and the second we walked in we were hit with a wonderful smell. We ended up sharing a butter cream bread and a small bubble tea. Both were quickly devoured by the kids, barely leaving any for me! We will definitely be stopping by again next time we are in the area. read more

I got a red velvet cupcake and it was horrible to say the least. The icing tastes like straight margarine...almost to the point where I forgot it was a cup cake. It turned more into a dinner roll experience for me and I'm more so just mad I spend $3.00 on a dinner roll. Service was good, that's about it. read more

Fresh baked goods. Tried the blueberry bun, it was light and flavorful. Bubble tea is a little overpriced ($4 for small, $5 for large) but taste was decent. read more

Sumi's is literally my favorite bakery.The pastries at Sumi's are unique, fresh, and better than a lot of the pastries that I've tried from standard Korean bakeries like Shilla Bakery. My favorite bread is the coffee bun and the green tea buttercream bread. I recently tried the raspberry tart, and it was light and tart, and the fruit on top was fresh. That first bite that I tried melted in my mouth. Writing this review is making me crave a Sumi's pastry right now! read more

We tried the green tea bun and condensed milk bread, both of which were great. The waitress suggested us that the bun tastes best when it was warm, and she was right. read more

Highly recommend Taro milk tea in this store!!!! And the bakery is so yummy too!!!!! I wish the time of closing would be a little bit late!!!! And also perfect service in this store, I like everything in here! read more

Sumi's is our favorite bakery! Like others have said, nothing is too sweet or too heavy, so it comes regret-free. It's a very pleasant place, too: If there's a free table, it's worth it to sit down with a bun and a cup of coffee to enjoy while you visit. Everything here is worth trying, with my personal favorites being the mocha cream bun and the cheesecake slices. It's a perfect little slice of cheesecake topped with fruit. The cakes are light and intriguing, and the red bean buns are a staple. Our only regret is not going there often enough. read more

It's good. I personally really like the maple syrup bread, the twisted doughnuts, the rosewater buns, and patbingsu. The twisted doughnuts and rosewater buns tend to be all gone by the time I get there, though... maybe it's just my luck. Anyway, it's very nicely set up inside too. read more

This place is spectacular! Sumi's pastries, cakes, etc., are incredible. Not as sweet as most American pastries and cakes, a difference I like. I've got a sweet tooth (who doesn't?) but when compared to her delicacies American pastries just seem too sweet. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is delicious. Go there just once and you'll be hooked. Nelson Gaugler read more

The buns are buttery and delicious. You absolutely have to go around 11:30-12 when the buns come hot out of the oven. They also have the best bubble tea I've had in Pittsburgh! read more

their sweet potato cupcakes are delicious! might have to stop by today and get some...their baked goodies are really good and light. this is the only Korean bakery in Pittsburgh that I know of so a huge plus for them. yea...i think i'm gonna stop by today or tomorrow for those sweet potato cupcakes! haha read more

Excellent and quaint place !! i ordered my favorite soboro bread (korean peanut bread) and the coffee bubble tea. The coffee bubble tea was perfectly sweet and it tasted just like ice coffee :)) would definitely recommend !! read more

Great place! Red-Bean Buns were outstanding!! The Red Bean with Shaved Ice is a must!! Will make you forget your ice cream sundae. You can't believe how good this is. read more
