“My 10 year old nephew loves bread.”
My 10 year old nephew loves bread. For his birthday I picked up a loaf of white bread from Captain Bakery as a special treat and he loved it. Now he specifically asks for “the perfect bread” before every family gathering.

“We drove to this bakery from the north side in search of mooncakes, and found so much more.”
We drove to this bakery from the north side in search of mooncakes, and found so much more. We tried the mango pudding, Macau egg tart, sponge cake, and the mooncakes, and everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. If it wasn’t 15 miles away I’d be here every week! The woman serving us was friendly and helpful in answering questions, and the atmosphere was clean and bright with big windows and display cases. They do take credit cards in addition to cash, but there’s an additional fee, so save your pennies and just buy with cash. The prices are very reasonable. Wonderful spot!

“A hidden gem of a chinese bakery in Bridgeport/McKinley area.”
A hidden gem of a chinese bakery in Bridgeport/McKinley area. They have a great variety of Cantonese buns and other pastries. The food reminds me of how real old school Cantonese buns should taste. Better than the big bakeries in Chinatown. These are fresh and taste like they are made with quality ingredients. The prices are reasonable and cheap compared to the big names in Chinatown. Highly recommend you give them a try. Seating is limited to 4 window counters. Cash is preferred but credit cards requires 4% transaction fee.

Great little place, clean, modern looking, and the buns are soft, chewy, and decently filled. Got the curry, taro, custard, and ham and cheese to try out. They only take cash though :/
