Best Bakeries Around Boston | Eater Boston

"Located in the heart of Boston’s Chinatown, Bao Bao Bakery & Cafe serves a playful variety of pan-Asian sweets, breads, custom cakes, as well as bubble tea. Founded in 2005 by the Chin family, Bao Bao is now owned and operated by sisters Emily and Gloria Chin. The menu at Bao Bao is chaos cooking unleashed, with savory offerings such as their pork sung bun, sweet treats like the ube crepe cake (which has an ube-flavored boba topping), and spins on dim sum classics like nutella-filled sesame buns. Looking for more than dessert? The adjacent Double Chin, Bao Bao’s sister restaurant, serves a similar array of inventive pan-Asian fare such as the Hong Kong hot chicken katsu “boluobao-wich,” served on a pineapple bun." - Katie Draisen
