We totally came here on a whim. We went to stop by KNYEW and while we were driving down the street, we came across Crown Bakery which we made an abrupt right turn into their parking lot. Glad we stopped by though.
They are located on the second floor right above TeaStation.
When you first walk in you dont think of anything until you start heading to the back where all the baked goodies are. They have racks and shelves of freshly baked goodness..
I swear, i wanted to buy almost everything in there to bring back to Hawaii. But the two items I did buy was the custard and the red bean pastry. They are located more on the ride side away most away from the cash register.
I asked the lady who was working there and she said they keep for a few days in the refrigerator which i tired to keep iced down as much as I could so i could bring it back home.
Whats awesome about these parties that its filled with filling. Unlike some other places where its mostly bread, this place packs on the filling. You will not have a bite without any filling what so every. You know they pack on the filling when you buy 4 of them to bring back and its easily over 1lbs of food just in those 4 pastries. So yummy and delish.
Their custard wasn't too eggy at all. It had a perfect balance. I wish their red bead was a little bit more beany if that makes sense, but over all both items were great!
They had tons of things to try also, they had come almond cookie that I wanted to buy but I don't think it would have made it back with my check in luggage to Hawaii.
This is one of my stops for sure when I need to bring back Omiyagi from Las Vegas back home!
