Absolutely amazing bakery! The owners were so nice! The custard buns were delicious! We shared one in the car then immediately went back inside and bought two more!

Some of the softest and most delicious buns I have had on the east coast! A far cry from the stale imitations at asian supermarkets around Pittsburgh. My favorite is the custard bun but it’s almost always nearly sold out. The bread melts in your mouth it’s so soft. I always like experimenting with the interesting flavors and combinations the very nice owner/baker comes up with.

The almond pastry was dry and chewy. Very bland even for me. I can eat less sugary things but it was nothing to write home about.
She was super aggressive when I first walked in. Even when I told her the marcoons were bad and we didn’t enjoy the vanilla one. She continued to sell us how good everyone loved them.
I think out of towners and uncultured people may enjoy.

This is a takeaway only place. I wanted some desert and found this in the neighbourhood. They have a good selection of pastries as well as bake goods. Very similar concept to Tous Les Jours but less fancy. The interiors are a bit dimly lit but it might be an aesthetic choice. I got something which looked like a choux pastry filled with cream but the texture was not choux but a light bread of sorts. It was very good, nevertheless. I also got a light layered pastry and that was good as well.

It’s a bit difficult to judge Pink Box, simply because I only tried one item. However, what I can say is that Pink Box seems to be a solid Asian bakery. In fact, it’s one of the few Asian bakeries in Pittsburgh. I tried the custard bun (regular vanilla, not chocolate).
The price is alright for the bun. Portion wise, it’s about the size of my hand, so quite large. The custard filling is creamy and has a slight acidic taste to it, almost like a light hint of lemon. I would have liked a bit more custard, but it’s not an empty pastry either. The bread surrounding it is fluffy but relatively flavorless. I expected the pastry bread to be sweetened and it seemed not to be.
All in all, some of the items are a little expensive. But, this place is pretty authentic, offers a good variety, and the items are seemingly fairly good quality. I’m definitely glad we have an Asian bakery in Pittsburgh, and I’ll occasionally stop by.

Light fluffy cake. Was delicious not overly sweet! Unsure if I’d return but they did not have much left in the display case when I arrived around 5:30p on a Tuesday ♀️

This place is an absolute gem. They are always so kind and their pastries are delicious. I like both their savory and sweet buns. My favorites are probably the Japanese cotton cheesecake, green tea and red bean bun, coconut raisin pastry, pudding buns, red bean bun, and butter cream buns, but I haven’t had one that I don’t like. My husband really likes the red bean and mochi bun. The red bean is sweet and has a great texture.
We bought a whole Japanese cotton cheesecake for our one year wedding anniversary from here and it turned out spectacular. We come here about once a week for fresh bread and treats. We couldn’t be happier with the food and service.

They have best chocolate cake in town and also the best vanilla swiss roll but you have to call in advance to place the order to make sure they got them. They have hot fresh baked goods. Also the mango green or black tea with mango popping boba is the best, they charge 5% convenience fees for cards transactions

Very friendly and polite owner. Clean and nice presentation of the baked goods and they taste good. Three stars purely bc price per bread just made them really hard to recommend. As a dedicated bakeries, I’m expecting more baked goods.
(bubble tea I ordered is absolutely disgusting imo)

Careful .. Spoiled/Stale Choco Custard Bun.
The chocolate filling and drizzle on top the bun already went bad. Tasted sour.
Bought on 10/12/24.
Also price wise it is a bit on the higher side compared to quality.
Also bought coconut and taro pork that still ok.
