Founded in 1938 in Hong Kong, Kee Wah Bakery has withstood the test of time and become known for its mooncakes, Chinese bridal cakes and traditional Hong Kong-style pastries. Packed in an ornately illustrated, but sturdy, no-fuss metal tin, this gift box includes four popular flavors: Lotus Seed, Red Bean, Date and Mixed Nuts with Ham.

Lady M sure knows how to dazzle when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every year, the shop drops an impressively packaged limited-edition set that goes far beyond the classic metal tin. For 2025, the Jade Rabbit Lantern Gift Set features a trio of custard flavors (strawberry matcha, coconut and tiramisu) as a nod to its best-selling mille crêpe cakes. Developed in collaboration with Kee Wah Bakery, the colorful mooncakes come housed in a lantern-shaped box that lights up and spins. This year, a bundle that includes matching mille crêpe cakes slices is also available.

Open since 1924, Eastern Bakery is a San Francisco staple. Locals love it for its signature coffee crunch cake, but the bakery also makes mooncakes in-house, rather than importing them like some shops do. While the spot is cash-only, and has a neighborhood feel, the bakery ships a wide variety of luscious, generously filled mooncakes nationwide. Choose from flavors like Lotus, Winter Melon, Black Bean and more. E-mail the bakery directly to place any online orders.

Based out of Hong Kong, Meixin has been making mooncakes since 1987. In recent years, they launched a line of MX Lava Custard Mooncakes, which, for the most part, are a traditional take on the pastry, but feature a molten filling. It’s made with salted egg yolks that are baked, then roasted with French butter and coconut cream. When you slice into these little cakes, you won’t find the typical dried yolks, but instead, a creamy egg center that’s incredibly luscious and rich.

Food Network host Vivian Chan and her family order mooncake from the same Hong Kong bakery, Wing Wah, every year. “The box even comes with a QR-coded seal, so you can ensure you’re getting authentic mooncakes from that particular bakery.” The yearly sweets remind her of “sitting outside with my family in early fall when there’s just a nip in the air. When we were kids, we would celebrate the festival with paper lanterns, and we’d run around in the backyard. It’s very nostalgic for me.”

Founded by Taiwanese American baker Amy Hsiao, Brooklyn’s Kitsby specializes in Asian-inspired sweets and baking kits, such as matcha cream puffs and hotteok cookies.

Along with the returning All Star Mooncake Set, Hsiao has added a Modern Teahouse collection this year. Both come with four unique mooncakes, a paper lantern, bunny figurine, loose-leaf tea bag and stunning packaging designed by @thebaobaestudio.

Annie Wang started baking in an effort to develop recipes that fit her plant-based lifestyle. Her vegan baked goods became a hit around the Bay Area and she’s now shipping her mooncakes nationwide. Her vegan mooncakes forgo lard, eggs and other animal ingredients, for potatoes and other secret swaps. Wang’s Year of the Snake gift box features fillings inspired by the four seasons, such as raspberry and almond for summer and pomelo-infused black sesame for winter. Her veganized salted egg yolk and lotus paste mooncake is also available individually.

Taiwanese tea shop Té Company specializes in mooncakes from the island nation. The round, white pastries have a soft, flaky crust that surrounds a lightly sweetened mung bean or red bean paste — half come plain and half contain a salted egg yolk.

Thảo Bui — who runs Ăn Xôi and Vietnamese spice company Vân Vân with partner Duy Võ, learned to make mooncakes from her mom, a professional baker. They first shared the seasonal treats with family and friends and started selling them at their New York City pop-up as interest grew. For their fourth mooncake season, the couple is offering nine new flavors available in various gift sets. Some, like the banana coconut, orange pomelo and coconut pork floss, are inspired by ingredients from their home country, while others, such as the hazelnut and strawberry matcha, pay homage to trending flavors.

Andrew Hong grew up in the baking business — his mom owned a Vietnamese Chinese bakery that he now runs — and launched his pop-up Gong Dessert Shop as a creative culinary outlet. His sweets draw from his heritage while infusing them with some modern flair. Hong’s current mooncake collection features a mix of traditional and new, like his mom’s signature savory Cantonese mooncake made with nuts, Chinese sausage, abalone and dried scallop, and ones filled with salted egg yolk custard or Valrhona chocolate. You can order one of two preset boxes or customize your own.

The Buttery opened in Orange County in 2024, but its roots extend across the Pacific to Vietnam, where co-founder Ivy Nguyen’s family once operated a bakery. Nguyen still uses the same techniques to handcraft The Buttery’s mooncakes, while imbuing them with some of her French pastry training. The flavors lean savory — one of the signature mooncakes contains 20 ingredients, including mixed nuts, roasted chicken, homemade char siu, and a sugar-wine syrup that’s been aged for six months. Other specialties include coconut-pandan sticky rice and ube mochi with salted egg and pork floss. To place an order for nationwide shipping, text 909-716-9797.

Along with matcha, which has become a trendy filling flavor over the last few years, Fay Da makes another tea-flavored mooncake using pu-erh, an aged, fermented tea from China’s Yunnan region.
