Grand Opening was on my list to try for ages before I finally made it, but so glad I did! We got many different things to share, a mix of sweet and savory, and everything was great. I personally recommend the burnt honey pie (I didn't know what to expect, but this was incredible!! A must try!!) and the savory sandwich baos (simple but very tasty!). The prices in general are a little expensive, but not worse than any other nice SF bakery. They're only open as a pop up at Mister Jiu's on Saturdays and Sundays, so definitely plan ahead. We arrived at opening and there wasn't a line yet! The inside is small and there isn't seating, so you'll have to take your treats to go.

Would definitely try to come back so we can try more items! I have to say the name can be confusing! But I got over that quick lol. Only open on the weekends, Saturdays at 11am and Sundays at 10am. I would come early so that you have the most options. We tried a few items and it was all great. I appreciate the written ingredients on the butcher paper they set out because we were able to avoid a severe walnut allergy on one item we wanted to get. (The only issue with everything set out on butcher paper is that it's just wide open... flies, sneezes, what have you) Boasted online somewhere as the one Michelin star bakery (it is a part of Mister Jiu's), idk if that star carries over but imho Grand Opening was worth checking out.

A must if you are a lover of Asian-inspired dessert with modern twists. Chef Melissa Chou inspires me with her unique flavor combinations. Off the top of my head, I don't think there's anywhere else where you can get carefully crafted pastries every Saturday and Sunday from a chef with Michelin star restaurant training and experience. I would highly recommend grabbing a slice of cake (or a whole cake). The cake flavors are truly unique and I have not seen anywhere else. I would recommend going early at opening to ensure you can grab the desserts you want to try the most. The storefront is in one of the narrow alleyways. If you are unsure if you are in the right place, look out for the sign. Follow the Grand Opening Bakery Instagram for updates as well as her website to preorder!

Such a cute pop-up style bakery -- everything is grab&go! It's located in Chinatown & there's definitely a good variety of pastries to choose from. I'd try to go a bit earlier in the day to be able to choose from all the options as the pastries can sell out quickly. Me & my friends tried a lot of different ones: - Guava/Passionfruit sponge cake: light/refreshing/melts in your mouth - burnt honey pie: doesn't look like it'd be your favorite but is SOOOOO good - assortment of cookies: i think the passionfruit cashew is super unique & i loved the chocolate peanut toffee :) Overall, it can get pricey but the quality and deliciousness of the pastries is worth at least one visit.

For some reason I still expected there to be a line when I arrived on Saturday morning, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was only one other customer in the shop 10 minutes past opening time. I guess the hype of this "grand opening" has died down since they've actually been open for 2 years, but I'm not complaining because that means less waiting for me! The shop is pretty small but very cute inside. Since I got there around opening, nothing was sold out yet and I was able to see their entire spread of options beautifully laid out on the counter. Yuzu Custard Bun ($6): Loved the strong, tart yuzu flavor of the custard. My most common issue with yuzu-flavored anything is that the flavor isn't strong enough, but this custard had a great citrus taste. The texture of the pastry itself was not a big standout for me. Burnt Honey Pie ($12): Typically you would not catch me spending $12 on a single slice of pie, but I was already there and I had heard good things about it. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised! The decadent filling was pretty sweet, probably too sweet for a "not too sweet" Asian palate, but I thought it was nicely balanced by the pie crust. I would consider hurting my wallet again to get another slice sometime. While both items that I got were yummy, I would hesitate to come back because of the fairly steep pricing.

There are only 2 things not absolutely exceptional about this place. The first is the name. I'm pretty sure the grand opening was actually like 2 years ago. I don't know. But it's no longer factually accurate. The second thing is the limited hours. You can't just have an exceptional, and I mean exceptional bakery like this, and then be open just 2 days a week. I know there is limited manpower to operate but let's give the people what they want. And what that usually happens to be more pastry and more often. At least that's what I want. I've been here 2 times and order a lot both times. I can't remember anything I didn't like. I will say the scallion bun mortadella sandwich was above and beyond. And the twice baked croissant was as elite as the other top tier croissants in the city. Everything is good. The cakes/pies I won't get again because they are spendy and only subtly sweet. I'm a make it as sweet as humanly possible kind of guy. But you literally can't go wrong here. The bakery scene in SF is top notch. This place is as good as any. I struggle with the fact that I can only go 2 days a week. I hope we can get it more. Overall just a truly special bakery. (4.8 Stars)

Visited this bakery on a Saturday afternoon and it was so tasty! One of the best bakeries in the city I've been to for sure. - Guava passion cheese tart was delicious. The passionfruit was very tart but balanced well with the cream and guava - The soy milk ice cream was soo good. It has that asian soy milk flavor that was so nostalgic growing up and was perfect in ice cream form. With the crunchy toppings and jam it was just amazing. Definitely wanna come back
