Bake Sum

Inside of Okonomiyaki Danish ($5.25) - it's good; the danish dough is very crispy and flaky

Inside of Black Sesame Babka ($25) - on the sweeter side than expected. Black sesame is definitely noticeable, but I wish it were less sweet

Inside of Yuzu Meringue Tart ($12) - great! Yuzu curd is very fragrant, with a strong yuzu flavor.

Inside of Croissubi ($5.50) - great! Great lamination and very well balanced flavors

Black Sesame Babka ($25) - on the sweeter side than I expected. Black sesame is definitely noticeable, but I wish it had been less sweet.

Cheesy Garlic Pull-Apart ($5) - super crispy texture, especially the surface. Very garlicky and buttery. Has garlic cloves inside!

Okonomiyaki Danish ($5.25) and Croissubi ($5.50)

Inside of Mochi Bites ($6) - lilikoi, brown butter, Thai tea, lychee. Crunchy surface, chewy interior.

All Four Mochi Bites ($6) - lilikoi, brown butter, Thai tea, lychee. Crunchy surface, chewy interior.

I really like Bake Sum Pastries, so I was excited to learn that they're now in Berkeley on the weekends! They're offering a limited pastry menu from their commissary kitchen in Bread Project in Berkeley. When I visited they had cookies, mochi bites, viennoiseries, and individually-sized yuzu meringue tarts. The items I got were all warm and fresh!Everything I've tried there has been great, and I prefer them to other Asian American influenced bakeries in the area. I particularly like their cookies ($4 each), especially the Black Sesame Snickerdoodle, and the Croissubi ($5.50), which is a cross between a croissant and a spam musubi.Service was super friendly, and I highly recommend paying them a visit. Right now the selection isn't quite as extensive as in their main location in Oakland, but they're planning to expand their available items in Berkeley in the future.
