Yi Soon Bakery

Where to Buy Mooncakes in Boston for the Mid-Autumn Festival | Eater Boston

"Yi Soon is a go-to Allston stop; the pork floss bun is particularly popular. But during this holiday season, Yi Soon also sports an impressive selection of mooncakes. Cantonese-style mooncakes are available in both small and large sizes in classic (red bean or lotus seed, with or without yolk) and trendy (pineapple, green tea) flavors. Flaky Suzhou-style (red bean with or without yolk or green bean/mung bean) and colorful Teochew thousand-layer (sweet taro or green tea) mooncakes are also available, called “shortcakes” in the store. While you’re there, grab a square of the Black Forest, which represents the perfect marriage between Eastern- and Western-style cakes."
