About The Best Dim Sum & Pastry

The Best Dim Sum & Pastry is an asian bakery in Oakland, California. It is listed at 723 E 12th St, Oakland, CA 94606, which places it among the local businesses of Oakland that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. The most common schedule is 6 am–8 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (510) 268-1823. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, bestdimsumpastry.com.

Oakland is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Oakland follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Unexpectedly great. My boyfriend has a set of go-to dim sum places and I am new to the region. I thought I routed us to one of his primary vetted three dim sum places in downtown Oakland, but this place is just outside of dt. When we realized we were not headed to the place he wanted initially, we decided not to reroute and try a new place. We were able to find parking in the lot upon arrival and there was no wait to place our order. This ended up being closer to where we live and more convenient to get to than any of the places in downtown. The sizes and serving quantities were very generous. Pics include a chapstick for reference. Everything was tasty enough to come back and order the other items that we wanted to try but ran out of space for. The bread-y items were so soft and fluffy. The dan tat was sweet like a pastry (how I prefer it) instead of neutral like traditional dan tat.

I went here when they opened at 6am and saw fresh baked trays of Chinese pastries being pulled out of the oven (bolo bao with red bean filling, hot dog buns, char siu baos, and more). Everything was hot, freshly made, and delicious. Four big buns for $8.50 is an amazing deal. They also accept Zelle and Venmo, which is super convenient if you don’t have cash on hand. Plenty of parking too. Definitely worth supporting this spot, especially after the tragic accident involving one of the owners last year.

Don't go here at 6am. They're not open. We were on our way to the Oakland to catch a flight. We were hoping not to pay airport pricing food. We were knocking on the door at 6:10am. They just look at us...we left😡

Nostalgic and consistently serving great shumai and hargow. The pork buns are massive and delicious, I have yet to go anywhere else that has such fluffy dough with amazing filling.

I came here to show my support for locally owned family businesses. Businesses in this plaza keeps getting broken into. The food here is OK. I got the lotus leave chicken, a small porridge and a Chinese donut for $12. It was past 1pm and some of the stuff were no longer available. The cashier had to scrape the bottom of the pot to fill up 80% of a small container of porridge. Regardless, I hope they do well and stay in Oakland.
