Pineapple King Bakery - San Francisco

"One of the best pineapple bun places in the bay! Great prices and fast service considering they were baked fresh. Highly recommend the plain pineapple bun if you don’t know where to start, and the mango filled bun for mango lovers. Long lines on weekends and closer to closing time. Barely a wait ~4pm Thursday."

"Got a few pineapple buns in differing flavours to go and eat in a park. Here is the thing, the buns are solid. Fluffy and fragrant on the inside, crumbly on the top, whatever you choose to fill it up will already benefit from a sturdy foundation. If I were to play favourites, it was definitely the use pineapple bun that blew my mind. A sweet use paste that flowed like a river inside the cloud-like buns. The few bites were stuffs made of dreams."

"Delicious pastries! Luckily arrived when there is no line (~3pm weekday). Wide selection to choose from and all reasonable price. Although pineapple bun was worth the hype, my favorite is pork floss bun which is full of filling and flavor. Only downside is staffs are not the friendliest - asked for recommendation but was told to check menu myself. But overall cant beat price and flavor combination with ~$13 for 5 pastries!"

"As a lover of pineapple buns, I was excited to try this place. We ordered pineapple bun with Pandan coconut butter which was really yum. We also got the custard filled bun which was nice. There was a bit of a wait but the butter bun comes out nice and toasty. They are cash only."

"After years of eyeing this bakery I finally visited. There just so happened to be no line when I got there at 4pm Tuesday but immediately after me there were a few parties. I didn't wait too long for my order of around 5 buns. It is cash only so be ready for that. And let me say, they were a lot more delicious than I even expected. I'll be honest I'm generally not the biggest fan of pineapple buns but these here have fillings and toppings and I think that made it really nice especially because they were also baked fresh. Even my parents really liked them! The mango custard was quite good, and the salted egg one too. But in general I don't think you'll go wrong if you pick flavors you enjoy. Thanks!"
