    Cafe Corner is one of the cleanest Chinese bakeries in Boston in my mind. The products are kept in a neat, clean area, so somehow I feel a lot more confident getting bakeries from here than other places within the area. Staff there can also speak English well (and products generally have English description associated with them), so it's easier and there's just more peace of mind getting Asian bakeries from here than anywhere else.

    I've gotten various types of bakeries from Cafe Corner like cakes, pineapple/Asian buns and some creme cakes and they all tasted great. My favorite so far had been something as cheap and simple as pineapple buns ($1) from this place.

    The only qualm I have about this place is that they don't have as much selection as some other places. But if you are looking for clean, sanitary and quality (also tasty) products, this bakery is where you should go!

    I love Café Corner it's so easy and convenient to enter The staff is nice and polite very willing to explain all the pastries and breads that they have available. The packaging is clean and neat and nicely marked. Prices are very reasonable a lot of items starting at only a dollar.

    I bought a cake for $8 and they charged me 0.80 for a bag that collapsed few minutes later. I don't know if that's in Chinese tradition but most places I've encountered in Chinatown are very dishonest and try to make money from things like that. Will never go back.

    I used to love pastéis de Belém so when I saw this bakery had Portuguese custard tarts, I hoped for good things, but it was not what I was looking for. It was tasty, but the crust is crumbly, not flaky. and the custard is very egg-y.

    So if you just got screwed by Time Warner
    And creepy dudes hit on you in the Sauna
    Then I know something tasty
    In the form of a pastry
    Boston Chinatown's Cafe Corner!

    I feel cornered into writing this review, honestly.

    I'm a big fan of the Cafe Corner Bakery and in fact it's probably the best bakery in Chinatown. Their wife cakes are delightful and delectable and chalky and perfect. They have a big version and a small version, and the small version is only available as a box of several. You can get one big version by itself and oh my God every bite is heaven. They really know how to make a wife cake. I can't wait to give it to the wife. The cake I mean.

    If it's so good, it's like watching porn, then it's Cafe Porner.

    But the real selling point here is the Portuguese custard tart. And yes I do mean Portuguese. They have a Hong Kong version like everybody else does which I'm sure is really good but their Portuguese version is off-the-charts spectacular. It's burned and Flaky and crispy and gooey and everything that you could ever want from a Portuguese custard tart. It's like one of the really good ones up in Toronto or Newark New Jersey. But it's right here in Boston and is the only one of its kind that I found.

    You can see why I am so enthused about this place. It's a must try in Boston, for everyone and their pet Llama.

    If everyone dies while you're eating your tarts, then you're a Cafe Mourner.

    And they clearly understand what their big selling point is because there is a huge picture on the side of their building of the Hong Kong version and the Portuguese version side-by-side, for anybody who wasn't sure what they were getting. The Portuguese version is awesome as is the customer service here, and the girls were tickled and delighted to take pictures of me with my food.

    If you get really horny while eating here (I think they did), then don't worry, I'm Cafe Hornier.

    Prices are cheap and so is your mother. My favorite Bakery in Chinatown. By a mile. Probably my fave in all of Boston.

    And if your computer has been hacked by Bots, then what have the Bots-done?
