Tea and Bun House: A Cozy East Asian Bakery in Saskatoon 🍓🍞

Tea and Bun House: A Cozy East Asian Bakery in Saskatoon 🍓🍞 When word spreads about a hidden gem bakery, you know it’s worth a trip—even if it means driving to Saskatoon’s north end. Tea and Bun House has been quietly gaining a following, and after trying their treats, I can see why! --- 📍 First Impressions: A Tiny, Charming Spot • Small but cute, with a minimalist East Asian bakery vibe. • Glass display case filled with buns, cakes, and pastries (but not everything is always available—go early!). • Friendly staff, though not overly chatty (they let the baked goods speak for themselves). --- 🍰 What We Tried: Sweet & Fluffy Delights 🍓 Strawberry Cheesecake Milk Bread – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (MUST-TRY!) • Pillowy-soft bread with a sweet cream cheese filling. • Fresh strawberries on top add a tart contrast—so good! • Not overly sweet, making it dangerously easy to eat the whole thing. ⭐ Star-Shaped Custard Bun – ⭐⭐⭐✨ • Buttery, crumbly exterior (like a cross between a croissant and a bun). • Custard filling was smooth but could’ve been richer. • Pretty presentation—great for photos! 🍮 Pudding Bun – ⭐⭐⭐ • Jiggly, gelatin-like pudding inside (texture might not be for everyone). • Bread itself was soft, but the filling needed more silkiness. • Still tasty, just not as standout as the strawberry one. --- 💰 Pricing: Fair for the Quality • Buns: $4–6 each (reasonable for handmade pastries). • Drinks (bubble tea, etc.) also available, though we didn’t try them this time. --- 👍 Why It’s Worth a Visit ✔️ Unique East Asian-style baked goods (not your typical donut shop). ✔️ Strawberry cheesecake bun is a winner. ✔️ Quaint, no-frills vibe—perfect for a quick treat. 👎 Minor Drawbacks • Limited stock (some items sell out fast). • Pudding bun’s texture might divide opinions. --- 🎯 Final Verdict: A Sweet Little Find! If you’re craving soft, fluffy Asian-style buns, this place is a must-try. The strawberry cheesecake bun alone is worth the trip—just don’t expect a huge selection at all times. Will I return? Absolutely—next time, I’m trying their milk tea and matcha treats! --- #AsianBakery #HiddenGem #SweetTooth #SupportLocal
