Cherry Blossom Bakery — Restaurant in San Francisco

At the end of the wedding, sometimes you need just one more little savory treat. We’ve seen a lot of different late night snacks at weddings over the years, but we wanted to give a nod to the bride’s heritage and to the cuisine of the Bay Area. What could be a better easy late night snack for this than bao?! Everyone loves char siu bao, and we love Cherry Blossom Bakery. We’ve stopped in for fresh treats so many times, so we thought of them immediately for our wedding late night snacks. They were easy to work with and made us a batch fresh for our wedding - we had one of the groom’s step brothers pick them up from Cherry Blossom Bakery on wedding day and they were perfect pork buns. They disappeared from the late night snack table almost instantly when they were put...

(updated 11/2023) I am changing my 3-star rating to a 4-star one after revisiting this bakery after about five years. The quality and taste of the food has improved much. Prices are still reasonable.

I really like the finger-sized banana rolls. They have just the right sweetness, and are perfect snacks during the day. I also like the cream buns. Egg tarts are good as usual.

The cream horns are good too. But it's very tricky--you could see the cream on both ends of the horn, yet it's hollow in the middle. So I would not recommend the cream horn.

The store is clean and brightly lit. Although courteous, the staff are unfortunately less friendly than before.

(2018) Friendly staff, clean seatings (a few tables), and reasonable prices. Pastries are fresh, but...

You gotta know what you want! This is a fast-paced bakery where the aunties are aggressively asking you what you want. Lol

Regardless, the baked goods are amazing!

We got the pineapple buns, red bean roll, buttermilk bread, durian roll, and egg tart. The best ones were the pineapple buns and durian roll. The breads were made well and are super soft and fresh!

The durian roll is a must!! I promise it's not overwhelming! It may smell like it but the taste is mellow and sweet. The pineapple buns were soft and warm.

The egg tart can be a bit more sweet. It just tasted like eggs.

Red bean roll was okay along with the buttermilk bread.

I'm also happy that this spot is close to Good Luck Dim Sum, which is another great...
