Not my favorite egg tarts but the other breads are yummy! We tried the Mille fleur and Japanese cheese cake. The milk tea was yummy but should have gotten regular sugar and not light sugar. Come early! There is less to choose from at the end of the day.

I can't believe I've lived in the area for so long and have never been here before! It was absolutely amazing and I will be back. We decided to try the red bean bun, the garlic parmesan bun, the cheddar bacon bun, and the taro bun. Every single baked good was delicious, fluffy, and fresh! Needless to say, we ate everything fairly quickly. The people there take so much pride in their work and it shows.

After years of wishing for a chinese bakery in KC I finally found one- and turns out they've been open since 2013! It's a small bakery with both sweet and savory pastries each around $3. I've gotten the green onion + pork floss bun both times I've been and it's one of the best ones I've ever had. They put a generous amount of pork floss so there's no bland bites. Their fluffy japanese cheesecakes are the best I've ever tried (and I am a fluffy cheesecake fanatic). While most fluffy cheesecakes struggle with finding the balance between airiness and cheese flavor, their pillow top cake was so light with the perfect cheesy tang. I'm in love!

Their hours are a bit off, so it took a while, but I finally made my way over. Unsure of what is made in house versus made there. I got an assortment of things. They have lots of bread flavor options and desserts in the case. All yummy!!

First time checking this place out and I will be going back! The decoration and aesthetic of the store is super cute and bright. There is a display of pastries varying from sweet to savory. I got the durian, matcha, and taro crepe cake. They were so delectable and such a delicacy. The taro flavor wasn't overpowering and had a soft filling. The matcha one was frozen and tasted more like green tea but the flavors were really present which I enjoyed. My favorite was the durian one. If you've never tried durian, please try this! Durian is a fruit from Asia and tastes so amazing in this crepe cake. The service was great! He was really helpful in helping me pick out what I was looking for. The pricing on these items are around the same as other Asian bakeries. This place was great and I will be ordering more from here in the future!

Taiwanese bakery similar to 85 Degrees & JJ Bakery in CA. Call or order ahead on their site. They do special orders. Love their crepe cakes, savory breads w/ pork sung, chocolate polo, chocolate ice cream bread, breads w/ taro, & teas w/ sea salt cream. All of the desserts are not too sweet which is the BEST pairing to their teas. Make sure to eat the chocolate ice cream bread ASAP before it melts! Thankfully we brought a cooler w/ ice packs so it survived our drive home. The staff are kind & asked if my drink was sweet enough. They adjust the sweetness level from 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, to 100%. The baker just took out some Portuguese egg tarts freshly hot from the oven when we just arrived. Delish w/ that caramelized top! The bakery is a to go or delivery spot so find a great park nearby to eat or in our case by the bakery parking lot eating freshly baked egg tarts. They have cute knitted items & hair ties by the register & dog treats. Sometimes they have dog treats for your dog to eat. They also have frozen homemade dumplings from Jasmine Garden which is right next door to HAMU Bakery.

I was so excited to see an Instagram story about this bakery (and a little sad that I don't live as close to this place as I used to). Their hours aren't great for me, but we were able to find time to stop in on a Saturday to grab several items to try. We were trying very hard to not purchase one of every item in this cute little shop. We each grabbed several random items to try. The staff was very friendly. My favorite item was the double cheese bread. I have dreams about it. I think the key is the loads of toasty cheese paired with the sweet bread! I also got the pork floss bread, which wasn't my favorite thing (but it was a personal preference thing, not that anything was wrong with it). I chose a buttermilk roll/bread, which also was not my taste, but I'm sure would be loved by others. Another item we enjoyed was called Snow White. We both really liked them, although I thought an addition of a bit of a strawberry or fruity flavor would add a bit of a welcome zing to the treat. We look forward to going back and trying other offerings!

The first time I tried their baked goods was years ago at their Lawrence location and I have always remembered their Snow White pastry. It was so light, fluffy, and the custard in the middle was "not too sweet." So glad they opened a location here! We got the Snow White, matcha crepe slice, basque cheesecake, and fluffy cheesecake and will be back to try the other pastries. I highly recommend the Snow White! If you're looking for the bakery, the sign does not say HAMU, it says "Beyond Bread Bakery"
