They get 4 stars from me because they have such a huge variety of buns, desserts, and toasts. I just wish they had more drink options and friendlier service. Otherwise, it would have been a 5 star review.I think the highlight of my visit was that amazing homemade French toast. It was so delicious!!! I'd get that again and again. It had everything you could want in French toast with the exception of syrup. This one didn't need any syrup at all. It had raisins and condensed milk in between the layers. It was a good quality and an even better price. Just under $3. Yes, the perfect breakfast item and definitely a popular one. I was there at 9:45 am, and there were slices already taken from the case. The toast I had was still warm. It was perfect. The Hong Kong milk tea was a good choice to go along with it. It's given to you unsweetened, which was fine with me. You have to add your own sugar if you want it to be sweet.It's like most Asian bakeries in that you get a tray with your tray paper. Grab a pair of tongs and use them to serve yourself. There are tons of savory and sweet options to choose from in the cases. I was there for a quick breakfast snack. I saw various milk toast options that are prepackaged but are definitely fresh. I almost bought some to take home with me. There are cakes, cookies, puddings, and so much more. I just wish they had more drink options but they do have coffee and tea.The service was efficient but could be friendlier. The paper plates are super small. You'll only get one if you ask for it. If you want to share an item with a friend, then it can get messy trying to cut it up on that tiny little plate. They do place the toast in an individual sized paper bag when checking out. It allows you to eat it out of the bag like a fast food burger. It's just not good for sharing.I didn't like that the buns are not prewrapped individually like another bakery near me. I actually prefer it that way, but I can see why it's not done that way. The plastic bag would probably not allow the French toast to stay crispy on the outside. I guess it's similar for other bakery items. All in all, it was a good visit. I'd go back again.
Super cool Asian bakery. The setup is so cute and very clean and orderly. You get your own tray and tongues and go around to pick up your bake goods. Had a double espresso and mango moose cake, it was super airy and not too sweat. The concept is very lovely, would recommend visiting for the experience.
I had the worst experience here. The food is stale and old and the Asian lady at the cashier is rude as hell! She was yelling at us and was being EXTREMELY RUDE! DO NOT GO HEREE! THE FOOD SUCKS AND SO DOES THE CUSTOMER SERVICE! PRICES ARE WAY TO HIGH. THEY ARE OVERCHARGING YOU. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO STARBUCKS INSTEAD!
The big city style Chinese bakery in Tampa. Plenty of choices of bake items and also offer drinks.
Ordered my first cake for hubby's bday. It was $51.00 for a small 8" which I found a little pricey but I wanted to try something different. The cake was to be ready at 11am. Well cake was NOT ready as they were backed up. The young lady in the front could not communicate well with me due to not speaking fluent English. I understood "late, sorry" The cake was ready 40 min later. I was not to happy as I had already paid by phone a day prior to pickup. I haven't tasted it yet. Just wanted to share my first initial experience. Overall nice place. Yummy selection. Very clean.

The food is bomb. Really great price if you’re on a budget. 10/10 honey bbq pork bun. We tried a lot of different options and they were all great.
They did not greet us when we walked in, did not ask us if we needed help. Cake was dry. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to going to a Japanese bakery. I traveled to Japan a few years back and Japanese people are always polite… maybe the people that work at Sweet Buns are not cultured or taught good customer service skills.
Sweet Buns is simply amazing. I personally love the Japanese cheesecake or anything with pork floss on it. Everything is also super affordable, which is refreshing these days!
One of the best Asian bakery in tampa, that offers authentic bread and sweet. Their bread are cold and dry since they put them on display. For best taste, please ? bake them in toaster for a minutes for two. DO NOT MICROWAVE, It will make the bread soft and flat. They have thousands layers durian cake that heaven delicous, but pretty pricey.100% recommend the egg tart.
