Hey Bread

★ 4.5 / 5 (70 reviews)

Nestled in Allston, this bustling bakery delivers soft, fluffy Asian-style breads, standout Portuguese and Hong Kong egg tarts, and balanced, not-too-sweet cakes. Favorites include pork floss buns, corn sandwiches and creamy Portuguese tarts—rich enough for parties yet fresh and familiar to those from China. Offerings span sweet and savory, with some unique items (pineapple-style crusts rather than actual fruit), but ingredient labeling can be unclear—ask staff if you have dietary restrictions. Casual spot with takeaway and light drinks; great for adventurous eaters and bread lovers.

Was Rebecca Xiong at Hey Bread a mag?
Just had their Portuguese egg tarts (they also have the traditional Hong Kong style) and they are delicious. Seems to have a wider selection than Yi Soon Bakery down the street. View all feedback.

What Evelyn Z dislikes about Hey Bread:
Huge bread lover here. I stopped by briefly to satisfy my craving for some Asian buns. Their breads are VERY soft and fluffy but I found them to be quite a bit more greasy compared to other Asian buns I've had elsewhere. View all feedback.

Love the variety of bread and cakes. It is nice to find a Bakery that tastes like what I had back in China. I get it from too good to go first, then kept ordering them.There maybe some culture differences, like the pineapple bread that doesn’t taste like pineapple The crispy sweet crust on top of the bread looks like pineapple so that’s where the name comes from. And it can come with no fillings, red bean, taro, or the savory ones like pork. It’s good to see how people who haven’t had it imagined how it tasted, and definitely would recommend the Bakery show the vegan/not information if they want broader audience.Meanwhile, I think trying out new things with an open mind is great!

I just visited yesterday, and they offer a wide variety of options to choose from. I really enjoyed the egg tart and the pork floss bun. I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be returning!

I just visited this restaurant today and the bread was incredible! I had a corn sandwich and an onion hot dog, both of which were delicious. I definitely plan on coming back in the future!

I like this bakery very much, tasty bread and gentle side on suger level on sweets. You can also eat and have some drink at this place as well. Flavor of all is very balanced and compared to American standard, it feel very healthy and enjoyable. Allston has quite few Asian bakery but this place is my choice. Usually I am not into breads and sweets but this place is exception, I recommend this place for everyone.
