Sweet Buns Reviews

Super cool Asian bakery. The setup is so cute and very clean and orderly. You get your own tray and tongues and go around to pick up your bake goods. Had a double espresso and mango moose cake, it was super airy and not too sweat. The concept is very lovely, would recommend visiting for the experience.

This was an interesting experience. I wanted to go to pick up/ try some moon cakes. It looks/feels clean and bright and there’s a lot of fun looking pastries. We tried the honey pork bun. It was too sweet for me and not enough meet. The lemon pastry was Made with a synthetic lemon that tasted fake to me. We saved the moon pie and milk pudding for home. They were both yummy buy the milk pudding was a little over priced. I’ll go back to try some other things but right now it seems like just a fun novelty thing.

They get 4 stars from me because they have such a huge variety of buns, desserts, and toasts. I just wish they had more drink options and friendlier service. Otherwise, it would have been a 5 star review.

I think the highlight of my visit was that amazing homemade French toast. It was so delicious!!! I’d get that again and again. It had everything you could want in French toast with the exception of syrup. This one didn’t need any syrup at all. It had raisins and condensed milk in between the layers. It was a good quality and an even better price. Just under $3. Yes, the perfect breakfast item and definitely a popular one. I was there at 9:45 am, and there were slices already taken from the case. The toast I had was still warm. It was perfect. The Hong Kong milk tea was a good choice to go along with it. It’s given to you unsweetened, which was fine with me. You have to add your own sugar if you want it to be sweet.

It’s like most Asian bakeries in that you get a tray with your tray paper. Grab a pair of tongs and use them to serve yourself. There are tons of savory and sweet options to choose from in the cases. I was there for a quick breakfast snack. I saw various milk toast options that are prepackaged but are definitely fresh. I almost bought some to take home with me. There are cakes, cookies, puddings, and so much more. I just wish they had more drink options but they do have coffee and tea.

The service was efficient but could be friendlier. The paper plates are super small. You’ll only get one if you ask for it. If you want to share an item with a friend, then it can get messy trying to cut it up on that tiny little plate. They do place the toast in an individual sized paper bag when checking out. It allows you to eat it out of the bag like a fast food burger. It’s just not good for sharing.

I didn’t like that the buns are not prewrapped individually like another bakery near me. I actually prefer it that way, but I can see why it’s not done that way. The plastic bag would probably not allow the French toast to stay crispy on the outside. I guess it’s similar for other bakery items. All in all, it was a good visit. I’d go back again.

Was excited walking in everything looks so good. Started a conversation to understand the items on the shelves as I have never been in the store. The employee looked annoyed at my questions confused and in my opinion was rude for absolutely no reason whatsoever. She did not want to help in any way explain or anything whatsoever, why are you working there? If you’re not happy working someplace and you’re not willing to help the customer go someplace else! My son was excited to eat we were hungry we enjoyed the food it was good not great which is why I put the two stars instead of one. The employee definitely brought down our initial experience and ruined our meal because of her attitude. Hire better employees! Photo is in my posted pics.

Ordered my first cake for hubby’s bday. It was $51.00 for a small 8″ which I found a little pricey but I wanted to try something different. The cake was to be ready at 11am. Well cake was NOT ready as they were backed up. The young lady in the front could not communicate well with me due to not speaking fluent English. I understood “late, sorry” The cake was ready 40 min later. I was not to happy as I had already paid by phone a day prior to pickup. I haven’t tasted it yet. Just wanted to share my first initial experience. Overall nice place. Yummy selection. Very clean.

Sweet Buns is simply amazing. I personally love the Japanese cheesecake or anything with pork floss on it. Everything is also super affordable, which is refreshing these days!

The food is bomb. Really great price if you’re on a budget. 10/10 honey bbq pork bun. We tried a lot of different options and they were all great.

Came first thing in the morning to try the Japanese cheesecake. It was very light and tasted great! I also got a pork bun which was a nice size, fresh and reasonably priced. I prefer sweet over savory and will be back to try more sweet treats

This bakery has a great selection (though didn’t see any egg tarts) and priced just right! Only downside is that their bathroom was “out of order”. Hope it is and not just a way to not have to offer a restroom to its customers.

I had the worst experience here. The food is stale and old and the Asian lady at the cashier is rude as hell! She was yelling at us and was being EXTREMELY RUDE! DO NOT GO HEREE! THE FOOD SUCKS AND SO DOES THE CUSTOMER SERVICE! PRICES ARE WAY TO HIGH. THEY ARE OVERCHARGING YOU. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO STARBUCKS INSTEAD!
