Hong Kong Bakery

So I first heard of this place from a Facebook group who recommended it. It’s a small, covert bakery tucked away into the Asian Plaza on Buford Highway. I stopped in here just to check it out since I heard their pastries were fresh and delicious. I went somewhat near the end of the day so they had sold out of their famous egg tarts. I ended up picking a taro bun and some coconut pastries. I’m not sure if they were the owners or just workers but they did not speak English well. That’s okay, I was just trying to check out. Minus the language barrier, it was relatively quick to check out and get on our way. I tried the pastries once I got home and oh my gosh…I think I found my new favorite bakery. Everything was SUPER fresh and so so good!!! Also…not to mention the pastries were cheap!!!! I g

Good to see a niche HK bakery in the area! It has a lot of nostalgic vibes with the choice of breads and seating area. Prices are more than what I’m used to but slightly cheaper than the nearby plaza bakeries. I had the pork bun, which was yummy and was filled with meat!

An absolute gem in ATL! The buns are delicious and authentic to what you would find at a Chinese/Cantonese/-inspired bakery. Highly recommend the BBQ pork bun, the pineapple bun/菠蘿包 and taro bun and coconut bun… basically everything! The egg tarts are super tasty too with flaky shell. Wish more people knew about this mom and pop kind of shop.

Support local businesses! Affordable and delicious~ They have char siu buns that are bigger and more flavorful than Sweet Hut’s. It has a saucy, aromatic flavor that you can’t find in a lot of competitors version. The cocktail bun is also larger in size and the coconut filling is plentiful, not too sweet but just right! They also have egg tarts and so much more for HALF the price of what you what pay at elsewhere.

The sesame ball was good - chewy, but crispy on the outside and the red bean paste was yummy. The egg tart was bad in several ways - the custard wasn’t caramelized at all, the texture of the custard was jelly-like, and the crust tasted old. Not old like it had been made a day or two ago, but old like the flour that it was made from was old and full of dust. The prices are comparable to the other bakeries nearby, so I would skip this place.
