      Cute little shop. There's a bunch of rows of different pastries, and a really nice, wide variety.

      I got the coconut bun which was $2. The bread was fresh and the topping was good, but there wasn't that much of it.

      I got their mango bubble tea, regular sized, for 2.75. They also offer a large. Boba and other toppings are an extra 50 cents each. The regular size is actually pretty small, and the ice is small too so when you drink from the straw, you get boba and ice. Also, they are kinda sparse on the amount of boba they give.

      They don't take credit card unless your total cost is up to $10. I found the staff slightly unfriendly, and thought the breads were a little pricey, especially because a lot of Asian bakeries are usually a lot cheaper, however, if you're in the area, definitely come try the place out.

      The new French cream puff is so GOOD. Delicious and delectable. I recommend the original and oreo! Fair price for a very special treat.

      I was very disappointed with Pink Box Bakery Cafe 粉红屋烘焙坊. The day I arrived in Squirrel Hill, I came to buy a taro moon cake for $3.00. It tasted stale. The only part with purple color was the tip of the shell. I can see grease soaked the wax paper on the bottom of the cake.

      Not sure how long it sat there on the shelf. So, I went back next morning to see if they have fresher ones on the shelves. I saw the one I left the night before. Ahhh... moon cakes must be shelf stable. Not!

      Each baked goods should have date time stamps. I felt cheated. Pink Box Bakery is the only Chinese bakery in Squirrel Hill. I think I'll go to Korean or French Bakery on my next visit.

      Good quality with lots of classic chinese bakery items. The bread always tastes fresh to me, always super soft and smells incredible. I tried their cotton cheese cake for the first time and was very impressed with how flavorful and soft it was! Of course it also wasn't too sweet. Their savory breads are packed with flavor as well. If you know what you want from here, you'll likely leave pretty satisfied.

      Coconut goodness. I was having one of those I need to satisfy my mom's sweet tooth Sundays with something that screams delicious... stopped in and picked up a packaged freshly baked sweet bread. It was soft and tasty. Wish photography did justice on flavor but I just chose a buttercream sliced coconut bread and a few nutty ones. Wish I could bake to this type of perfection, until then I'll continue shopping here. Thank you.

      Finally went here the first time for an after dinner treat!

      From a Western perspective, the flavors are generally lighter and less rich/sweet than I'm used to. More custard, bean, milky flavors vs. the heavy chocolate and butter that you see in American baked goods. I feel like I would really enjoy a lot of the buns for a tea or breakfast treat.

      One other thing that's a little different to me, but I liked, was how everything is individually packaged and you can pick out items yourself. It was nice to be able to look at everything closely, as opposed to many bakeries where the food is all in a display case and staff select for you.

      I am excited to come back to try more items and also order for breakfast.

      This place is a Taiwanese bakery and I come here from time to time. It is cheap and the quality is ok. I liked their pineapple mochi bun but most of their buns and pastries don't have enough filling. They taste like the bakeries I used to get growing up in China from nearby old fashioned bakeries. Not the best qualities but they're yummy enough to satisfy your craving.

      I wish they don't have a 10$ minimum for card as I have to get a bunch of stuff every time.

      I always love a good Asian bakery, and this one was no exception. We grabbed a number of filled buns ranging from savory to sweet, and everything we tried was delicious. The space itself would probably benefit from a light renovation, but the service was friendly and the food was excellent quality. Would definitely come back here next time I'm in Pittsburgh again.

      The mochi buns, the pork buns, the cupcakes...
      I could go on and on.
      I've visited this Chinese bakery on multiple occasions and have always had a great experience.
      The staff are so friendly and accommodating.
      The shop is cute and filled with nothing but yum.
      Some of the best tasting treats around.
      This is one of my go-to places when I want to pick up a special treat either for myself or others.

      Super cute pink looking front end. It's not my favorite kind of dough but I did enjoy trying a few of their offerings.

      I Have to say I was extremely disappointed in Pink Box Bakery.
      I was in the area and was in the need desperately for something sweet.
      I decided on Pink Box Bakery as it was almost across the street from where I was and I had never been there before.
      I walked in and it was about 1pm and there virtually was nothing there for sale????????
      What the heck no cookies no cake no pastries, What kind of bakery is this.
      there where 2 ladies sitting by the register talking to each other.
      They totally ignored me did not say hi did not ask if I needed anything.
      They totally ignored me which was more disturbing than a bakery with no baked goods??????????
      I would have come back again to try the pastries if it had not been for the poor customer service.
      I hate being ignored when I go into a place of business.
      Not even a hello how can I help you which is standard business protocol.
      I have to say I would never go back again and I suggest you do not go as well.
      It saddens me to give 1 star as even with no pastries I would have given 2 stars, But the poor customer Service really sinched the one star for me.
