Bread Top House

The buns here are super affordable and delicous! I love it! I suggest going in the morning because they make it fresh! I have been going to this spot since around 2016, and they never disappoint. The space is pretty small, and when it's busy it can get pretty uncomfortable 😂 The one working there is very nice and friendly! She treats everyone with respect and tries to be friendly with everyone she meets.

I wish there is a place like this near me. I love the vibe here, the taste of food, reasonable prices, friendly people…I ordered congee, coffee, and egg tart and some other pastries. The sweetness of the pastries is perfect to me. Not too sweet.

This is the best bakery I’ve ever been to in my entire life. I loved their butter cream buns and vanilla cake sandwiches. Their desserts were fresh and very affordable, I can’t wait to come back here again :)

I practically come here about 3-4 times a week. The Chinatown bakeries are such a good place to get a quick lunch on a short little break. All of the staples such as hot dog buns, sesame balls, and the light cakes are practically at every bakery. I come here the most because the staff is the most patient and kind demeanor wise, they don't rush you and try to scurry you out so fast. Plus they take Venmo! I don't feel comfortable using my card everywhere and I never have cash on me so its perfect. A hot dog bun, iced milk tea, and a coconut tart only for 6.50 🖤and yes the cup is a little suggestive to say the least 😭

Bread Top House is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition in Chinatown. As a local, I find myself drawn to this place especially for breakfast treats. The prices here are incredibly affordable, with meat-filled pastries typically priced between $3 to $4. It's a budget-friendly option that doesn't compromise on taste or freshness. One of my favorite items to grab in the morning is their fresh Congee, which comes at a steal of a price. It's comforting and delicious, perfect for starting the day right. Among their pastry offerings, I highly recommend trying the beef and chicken curry meat pastries—they're flavorful and satisfying. A tip for first-time visitors: make sure to bring cash or use Venmo, as this spot operates on cash transactions. Despite its unassuming appearance, Bread Top House is often bustling with locals, which speaks volumes about its status as a Chinatown staple. It truly embodies the essence of a hidden gem—delivering great food at prices that won't break the bank. If you're looking to explore authentic flavors without straying from a budget, Bread Top House is a must-visit. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast or satisfying a midday craving, this place won't disappoint. Don't miss out on experiencing one of Chinatown's best-kept secrets!

I've tried the coconut tart, roast pork bun, and pineapple bun and have loved all of them! They bake their treats throughout the day so sometimes you can get your goods super fresh, right out of the oven.

2nd year getting the moon cakes for the Autumn Festival :) I am not Chinese or Asian at all but I embrace this holiday and the Chinese New Year!!!! The moon cakes in the plastic packaging with the egg are the best!

Great chinese buns. They have a fantastic selection of pastries. I love this place so much that I'm glad it's not closer to home, or I might have to live there.
