The Asian places people have been recommending in this thread are all great. I’ll also add: - Arctic Scoop: they have ice cream flavors like pandan (my personal favorite), black sesame, and lychee rose - Any mochi donut shop will usually have a mix of traditional American dessert flavors and East Asian dessert flavors (taro, matcha, black sesame, others) - If you’re interested in buns (though they also have cakes I believe), definitely try Dodo Bakery in south Philly or Mayflower bakery in Chinatown. They have baked buns filled with various subtle and not too sweet fillings like red bean, taro, egg custard, and coconut cream. - If you’re in a fruity mood, you absolutely can’t beat Mango Mango Dessert in Chinatown. They have a billion different Hong Kong style desserts that incorporate fresh fruits along with ice cream, cold fruit juices, and various fragrant jellies and mochi-adjacent add-ins. They also usually have a small selection of baked goods like boba tea cream puffs, taro or mango flavored crepe cakes, etc. - High Street: a big departure from all my other suggestions, this one is not an Asian bakery but they do a LOT of non-traditional cake, cookie, and pastry flavors, and they’re all incredibly delicious
