New Bakery Opens In Fremont To Rave Review: Report

FREMONT, CA — A new bakery, Pineapple King, opened in Fremont less than two weeks ago and the San Francisco Chronicle is already raving about "its signature warm pineapple buns, or bolo bao (which are not made with pineapple in them but resemble the outside of the fruit with their sugary, crackly crusts)."

Pineapple King is a popular San Francisco bakery and the owners say they frequently received requests to expand to the East Bay from residents who drove all the way to San Francisco for their signature sweets.

Lucky for Fremont residents, the owners picked Warm Springs Boulevard for their first East Bay location.

The warm pineapple buns can be stuffed with a large selection of fillings. The most popular are butter, custard, BBQ pork, salted egg, and ube.

The bakery's website also touts a pudding baguette, "This is the hottest bun in Hong Kong right now. It's a creme brulee pudding baked inside a baguette."

The online menu lists Pineapple King's Top 10 Sellers —

1. Pineapple bun with butter
2. HK milk tea
3. Pineapple puffs
4. Deluxe box
5. Egg tart
6. Spam & egg bun
7. Pineapple bun with custard
8. BBQ pork pineapple bun
9. Salted egg pineapple bun
10. Ube pineapple bun

The website gives Doordash, Uber Eats, Postmates and GrubHub as options for delivery.

Pineapple King is in the Mission Square Plaza at 6827 Warm Springs Blvd. in Fremont. It is open noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
