Union Station Bakery & Café - Bakery in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

This is the place for Hong Kong-style egg tarts! It is perfect in terms of the incredibly friendly staff and the wide variety of desserts available. I got it to go and ate it at home two hours later, and it was so delicious.

The owners are a very sweet elderly couple, and the pastries here genuinely made me feel like I was eating something my grandparents would make at home. When they saw me taking photos of the pastries and the shop, they enthusiastically shared stories about every little detail — even explaining the meaning behind each line of text displayed around the space. I’m someone who loves food and has reviewed many places, and beyond taste alone, the feeling of a place often shapes how I judge it. While the pastries themselves aren’t anything overly unique or groundbreaking, they still taste good and feel comforting — largely because of how warm and kind the owners are. They even walked me through every corner of the shop, explaining why certain things were placed where they were. Even the mirror in the shop was handmade and handwritten by the owner himself. Overall, the pastries are decent — the dough is slightly thick, but the fillings are good. I’d recommend the egg tart and the BBQ pork bun. A simple place, made special by the people running it.

I've only tried the HK egg tart but man, the best egg tart I've ever had. The texture was so smooth and silky (dunno how to describe it), especially when it was fresh out of the oven. Almost all the buns and egg tarts sell out fast cuz when i got there, they only had 1 HK egg tart left. Staff and owners are so friendly and kind. 10/10 experience

Guys, I'm a lowkey Vietnamese, found this place randomly by looking at Google map a few months ago. Since then, I come here every weekend. The buns and cakes here looks simple but very tasty, like you can eat those again and again, weeks after weeks, that's how tasty they are. But the thing worth mentioning is the place feels warm, fuzzy and welcoming, the owners are kind-hearted and friendly. Everything is handmade, fresh and they use high-quality ingredients so the quantity of each types might be limited. Just ask the staff and order in advance if possible. My favorites: the pan-fried pork/beef buns, the ham&eggs buns, the dumplings (best I've ever had), egg tarts, blueberry cakes, banana bread, apple pie, etc. Try as many as you can. I normally eat 4-5 buns/cakes in one go. And the milk tea is also a must try. If you have the chance, talk with the owners, they are the loveliest human on earth, I promise.

I feel like I have to promote this place right away. I had the beef bun, pork bun, chicken and mushroom bun, the ones with coconut, tarts, etc. I mean everything was just so great, I cant even put the food down to take pictures. The place is low key, very Hongkongish, the owners are real friendly, chitchat and make us feel comfortable, suggest us with all the good ones. This place needs more attention for sure.
