Tea and Bun House: A Cozy East Asian Bakery in Saskatoon šš
Tea and Bun House: A Cozy East Asian Bakery in Saskatoon šš When word spreads about a hidden gem bakery, you know itās worth a tripāeven if it means driving to Saskatoonās north end. Tea and Bun House has been quietly gaining a following, and after trying their treats, I can see why! --- š 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 availableāgo early!). ⢠Friendly staff, though not overly chatty (they let the baked goods speak for themselves). --- š° What We Tried: Sweet & Fluffy Delights š Strawberry Cheesecake Milk Bread ā āāāāā (MUST-TRY!) ⢠Pillowy-soft bread with a sweet cream cheese filling. ⢠Fresh strawberries on top add a tart contrastāso good! ⢠Not overly sweet, making it dangerously easy to eat the whole thing. ā Star-Shaped Custard Bun ā āāā⨠⢠Buttery, crumbly exterior (like a cross between a croissant and a bun). ⢠Custard filling was smooth but couldāve been richer. ⢠Pretty presentationāgreat for photos! š® Pudding Bun ā āāā ⢠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. --- š° Pricing: Fair for the Quality ⢠Buns: $4ā6 each (reasonable for handmade pastries). ⢠Drinks (bubble tea, etc.) also available, though we didnāt try them this time. --- š Why Itās Worth a Visit āļø Unique East Asian-style baked goods (not your typical donut shop). āļø Strawberry cheesecake bun is a winner. āļø Quaint, no-frills vibeāperfect for a quick treat. š Minor Drawbacks ⢠Limited stock (some items sell out fast). ⢠Pudding bunās texture might divide opinions. --- šÆ Final Verdict: A Sweet Little Find! If youāre craving soft, fluffy Asian-style buns, this place is a must-try. The strawberry cheesecake bun alone is worth the tripājust donāt expect a huge selection at all times. Will I return? Absolutelyānext time, Iām trying their milk tea and matcha treats! --- #AsianBakery #HiddenGem #SweetTooth #SupportLocal
