Chiu Quon Bakery 超群茶餐廳 — chinese in Uptown. It has that lived-in, been-here-forever warmth. The cooking is rooted in real tradition. Easy on the wallet, cash only. Emily Chen: "Literally every bite had custard, and the caramelized top was flaky and soft"

I was a little surprised that this Chinese-style bakery was so close to my local bakery, despite being so far away. The flavors are familiar and unique and the prices are reasonable. There' re many bread and cake types to choose. I especially like the bread with the barbecue pork.

Headed here after having lunch at ‘Tank Noodle’ and got a couple egg tarts and baos but they’ve got a pretty good selection. They’ve got pastries, cookies, small cakes, muffins, egg rolls, zong zi and more. Lady that picks out food for customers is super friendly and don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any. Great place for a sweet treat after a meal. Location is great being right next to the Argyle train station too.

Old-fashioned Chinese bakery, with both Chinese and some Western offerings. They taste fine and prices were reasonable. The staff do appear to also speak Vietnamese (it is Argyle, after all). The store itself is basic, with nowhere to sit. The place is cash-only, fyi.

A no-frills Chinese pastry shop in Uptown with a variety of solid options like egg tarts, mini mooncakes, pineapple buns, and Chinese cookies. Be sure to bring cash, and it's best to stop by in the morning when they have the widest selection!

“Pretty good selection they have.”
Pretty good selection they have. But, I was looking for something different. I haven’t seen baked sausages in bun for years. Guess what! They have it.

1000% recommend! I honestly got frustrated because I've passed it so many times without going in, and now I know that I could've avoided the disappointing versions of buns and pastries? Upsetting. There are both savory and sweet options alike, absolutely everything is delicious. I ordered a pork cabbage steamed bun, pork and shrimp ball, custard bun, egg tart, almond cookie, and pineapple pie. Better than some of the places I've back home. This is not the place to be concerned about nutritional value. The cabbage bun was wonderfully fluffy, and rather than chunks of oversalted pork, it's all well incorporated with very flavorful cabbage. The biggest surprise was the pork and shrimp ball - I was curious and decided to try it. It's a sweet rice cake with a savory filling, and it works so well. Custard bun was evenly filled, with no excessive air pockets. Literally every bite had custard, and the caramelized top was flaky and soft. The egg tart's center was so soft that I half expected it to completely run out of the crust. It has a great soft texture and is ginormous. Note, they're cash only!! But I will be bringing everyone I know in so they're able to expetience the peak too.

“Great spot for delicious buns at a very affordable price.”
Great spot for delicious buns at a very affordable price. I don’t think any of the buns were over $2 and they were all tasty. Highly recommended the bbq pork buns

I always get the buns! Soft , and really affordable. I usually get ham& egg or BBQ pork. Try to get there early for the best selection 😉

Our favorite Chinese bakery is located in both the north and south sides of Chicago Chinatown. Everything is yummy and inexpensive. The price went up recently but still cheaper than other bakeries.
