Very saddened by that way the lady ( owner ) of this place treated me today. I haven't been here in 5 years, but this used to be my go to bakery for birthday cake celebration for many years! And today I was in the area, I was very excited to finally get a cake from here again! But the service was very disheartening. As soon as I arrived the older lady in the shop was upset because I didn't call to let her know about picking up a cake. For context, I've called before and there's been no answer and they used to have cakes ready to go in the past, so I didn't call ahead of time today. While asking about cakes, she was rushing me and told me several times " you need to be quiet, you talk too much" and not in the kind way. I was just asking about the flavors and if she could add happy birthday and she kept repeating " Be quiet you talk too much." I didnt mind waiting a few mins for the cake to be ready. However she was demanding I sit down all this time and was angry telling me why didn't I call. When asked about payment, and explored card or Apple Pay, she told me the price and said cash only and once again said " be quiet you talk too much" and demanding I go to the bank. I had to walk away as there was no need for her to provide that treatment to a customer who was excited for their cakes. This wasn't a pleasant experience and I hope others don't go through this. read more

Went to place an order and the lil lady didn't get up to greet us, and when I asked about placing a custom order she then said with broken English " you ppl don't like our cake". Our family been coming here for 20+ years and that was quite offensive. We got all our birthday cakes here as kids. I'm now 32yr with 3 children, I was hoping to start getting their cakes here even tho I now live in Bakersfield. I was trying to keep the tradition going for our children. But that's not the case anymore. It sucks cuz I really like their cakes but I'm not gunna be disrespected like that so I will be taking our business somewhere better. read more

Delicious large fruit tart! It's a drive but worth it as it was what my family members wanted

I LOVE Amy's Bakery. I've been eating Amy's baked goods for a long long time. I was fortunate to grow up in the neighborhood. So, I grew up on Amy's. They make great cakes, pastries, breads, coffees, and cookies. read more

To start off she was inpatient. Not at all good customer service. I should have walked away. The cake was really dry and old, the strawberries were black and the cream was not tasty at all. I'm sure this cake was sitting there for a while! What a disappointment. read more

Amy’s Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am shocked it doesn't have more reviews as the prices are amazing. Even though the outside is intimidating, this truly is a hidden gem. I was a bit unsettled since she unlocked the door for us but the neighborhood is not safe so I am glad she did that. After letting us in she was very sweet. I came here for my girlfriend's birthday to get her a nice, light, fluffy, cake. It was perfect, not too sweet, not too bland. Perfect. She treated me and my girlfriend's brother like family. She even said she had remembered him from when he was a small boy and went to school up the street after all these years. Don't let the glass door fool you (yes it looks dirty) the cakes are phenomenal. I hope her business stays around because that is a lot of bakery items for such a small business, I almost felt guilty not buying more. If you look at my reviews you'll note that I am unbiased and give fair reviews no matter how good or bad I don't say this often but I hope more people give this place a chance. If the owner sees this review; you should pay someone to clean the windows to spruce the place up a bit! It is a shame that Yelp does not remove the reviews that are fake. By fake I don't mean misspelling the name, I mean the people with no life who watch kitchen nightmares and assume that there is only one Amy's bakery in the city with a population of over 11M. I believe them saying she misspelled the name but now she has you write the name down so she doesn't misspell it (it was likely a language barrier). FULL DISCLOSURE: THIS IS NOT AMY'S BAKERY FROM KITCHEN NIGHTMARES. YOU ARE HARASSING A VERY KIND, ELDERLY, ASIAN LADY DURING A COVID PANDEMIC, SHAME ON YOU. read more

I found this place 3 years ago on a whim to find the best Chinese bakery, and since then we have been getting cakes from here on a regular for each person in the family's birthday! It is our favorite source of Chinese style cake, not too sweet, absolutely delicious sponge cake . I would definitely recommend this place and it deserves more than 3.5 stars! Please note parking is a little tough given it's a tiny one way lot, and it's cash only but it is so cheap and worth it for the price to quality ratio! read more

Amy’s Bakery - 26 dollars for this beautiful delicious strawberry cake - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amy's Bakery never disappoints me. Plus you can't beat her prices $78 for a full sheet cake. I have been coming here for 37 years. When I worked downtown for 10 yrs I went almost once a month. read more

Re-tried this bakery about a month ago and I have to agree with some of the bad reviews that their cakes were very dry. The prices are amazing 13 dollars for a round fresh strawberry cake and a sheet cake for only 40. The even put fresh shaved almonds on the side if the cake. It's a nice old couple who owns the joint. Hope they fix their cakes. read more

Stopped by here after Taiwan Fest 2008 because I was parked around the corner, it had an "A" rating, and it was in this strip mall that I wouldn't step foot in after sundown. If you're of the Sweet Lady Jane demographic, keep on movin' don't stop, because this place is here to sell cakes and desserts and that's it. It's a tiny, humble place, with a refrigerator full of cakes directly in front of you and a one filled with drinks to your right. To the left was a counter full of different baked goods, ranging from macaroons, to cookies to cakes (75 cents for a slice of cake!, $19 for a half sheet!), they had this fruit cake that was twice as high as any sheet cake I've ever seen, and they have a wall full of cake toppers and candles for dirt cheap. I bought a slice of chocolate cake to go, and it was dee-lish. My game plan in the future would be to stop by here after stuffing myself with a double dip at Philippe's and grabbing some desserts to go. The strip mall has a small lot, so if there aren't a ton of people at the place next door getting bail bonds, then you should be able to find a spot. read more

The cakes here are below market rate and also very tasty. My mom orders her birthday cake here. They usually have premade cakes for walk in purchase but we like to preorder one in advance. The owners are always nice and friendly. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good cake for any occasion. read more

Sadly, I can not recommend this bakery, and I'm embarrassed for the owner, who was completely indifferent to my large sheet cake order. Who treats customers so poorly? If I'm giving you money, have some manners. PRICE: $60 for chocolate sheet cake, lightly sweetened. You really can't beat the price, espcially if you need a large sheet cake (serves aprox. 70) quick. Note: DO NOT have her write on the cake. Her style of writing is horrific. I just bought my own frosting and did the writing myself. They won't do any custom orders, or special requests. Even if you offer to pay double. What a shame. TASTE: It's alright. Works for large groups. Chinese cakes are never overly sweet, they simply don't use that much sugar, which some people like. I just came here for a cheap large sheet cake for a company birthday party, the birthday recipient received a custom cake from Whole Foods - that was $45, kosher, and fed 5. read more

I've shopped at this shop for big event. My sweet fifteen birthday party and my wedding cake were both from here. Presentation is awesome. Huge beautiful cakes cant beat the price with what you are getting. Service is kind of shaky but regardless I always leave satisfied. read more

I have been going to this bakery since 90s authentic strawberry / banana cakes they are always available

A solid 4 stars for a bakery that creates inexpensive, tasty cakes! Most of the cakes are fruit-filled (typically fresh strawberry, banana, fruit cocktail, etc.). The cakes aren't super fluffy, but moreso, a little spongy in texture. The frosting isn't too overbearing or sweet. Can't say much for the decorations, or lack thereof. They are simple (i.e., frosting roses on the corners, ribbon effects, etc.). But again, they are cheap! A 1/2 sheet cake costs $30. A round cake is $13. Amy's sells cake toppers and other plastic decorations, but they are really dated and look like they have been on the wall since forever. Like Egan Y. mentioned, Amy isn't the happiest baker around, but she does bake up some good cakes! read more

I love this bakery! Very cheap cakes and super fresh. I love the light sponge and light whip. Woman is very sweet. Definitely a no frills place but all you need is great cake! read more

Got a cake from them for a birthday party and asked them to have "Happy Birthday Mandy" written on the cake. When I received it the cake had "Happy Birthday Maddy"! Who is Maddy. I told the lady immediately that there was an error. I received a death look as if this lady wanted to rip my face off. I asked if she would change it and she said said something under her breath and then replied "I can try my best". I got the cake and it tasted dry and as if the jam was beginning to ferment. I would not send someone here even as a joke. read more

It's not closed Just went there today 5/25/2018 Best cakes for the price in Los Angeles!!! read more

So disappointed! I was so embarrassed with my guests. We ended up throwing the cake away!was so bad. Very Dry, The chocolate cake tasted nothing like chocolate. It had a fermented old taste. horrible! read more

I've been eating cake from Amy's ever since I was a little cake-eater in training. My parents bought my birthday cakes here. And now I'm buying b-day cakes for my friends from Amy. I'm not sure if "Amy" is just a randomly chosen name, but I like to think that it's named after the mean Cantonese lady that works there. And if that is in fact the case, then wow, Amy's a bitch! A while back, I went to buy a birthday cake for a friend, and explained to the lady that I wanted her to write "Happy Birthday [name]" on it. She screamed at me saying that she knew how to spell it without my instructions. At first I was startled, cuz bakery ladies are generally kind and gentle people like Sara Lee and Little Debbie. But not Amy. Amy was/is a level 30 gremlin bitch. When I timidly asked her to add the sliced almond flakes to the side of the cake, she shouted that she always added the almonds last and didn't need to be reminded by her customers. (I was THIS close to dragon-punching her). Amy's prices are cheap and the cake is perfectly light and encased in a nice soft cream. The fruit in the middle always tastes fresh. If you don't mind the mean auntie behind the counter, I would recommend Amy's for your cakey needs. I miss you Amy, you old bitter hag. read more

I spent $2 on cookies. I purchased some of the lemon and the strawberry thumbprint cookies, as well as the pecan and almond cookies. I only tried two of them and threw away the rest. All were dry and not at all moist or crumbly. They were too hard (stale maybe?) and the flavor sucked. The pecan cookie was hard, flavorless and dry. Ugh! The lemon cookie was the worst though. The lemon curd in the center should be gooey and lovely, instead it was like rubber and came off in one piece when I tried to bite it in half, then it stuck to my teeth in one big rubbery ball. So not how that texture should be. The lady who helped me was not friendly or helpful. I will never step foot in there again. read more

OMG- so freaking good. I just had a slice of cake and it is so freaking good. I will be purchasing my next cake from here. Its better than Elizabeths bakery in south gate, the quality is so much better. read more

I'm not sure why, but in the beginning years of my life my parents used to always get me a personal sized strawberry whipped cream birthday cake from Amy's every Sunday. And we lived in Glassel Park. ~^O^~? That was probably why I was so big when I was little. Now that I'm older, I get to jaunt around L.A. in my very own car with my very own money on a hunt for the perfect wedding cake that will satisfy my anal retentiveness. I hadn't been to Amy's in so long and am always astounded that it's still in business, being that it's stuck on an island far away from the center of Chinatown. Inside, you'll find glassed cold display fridges instead of glassed display counters, showing ready-made birthday cakes and sliced strawberry, tres leches, and chocolate cakes. I bought a 15-inch coffee cream roll for $3.50. This is usually the price for an 8-inch jelly/cream roll in the other Chinatown bakeries. Afterwards, I shared it with my parents, who were also surprised Amy's was still open after nearly 25 years. The cake is a coffee flavored sponge (or is it chiffon?) cake filled with coffee butter cream. The other bakeries use coffee whipped cream for their fillings, so I found this a novel surprise. It's not bad at all, not bland, like a nice slice of breakfast cake. Though the little strip plaza has its own parking lot, it's difficult to turn into, so you might prefer using the meters next to the lot or be brave and vere 90 degrees right with eyes closed. read more

I won't even try to write a review as good as EY L. LOL. Got a great chocolate cake - $18...it fed 22 people plus we had almost half of it left. Great price and amazing light cake! I'll be back! read more

My family has been buying cakes from this place since early 80's they have really good cakes here. Anyday you walk in this place they will have a cake for you and decorated anyway for you. Now the prices are even better. I totally agree with the other 2 reviews. read more

I love this place, it's cheap and freaking delicious. I've been coming here since I was a little girl and surprisingly the owner remembers me. She is so sweet and I know sometimes she might come across as rude but she really is a kind person and very generous. Not to long ago I came to place an order for a Co-workers birthday and when I picked it up, it was just amazing. She went beyond my expectations, I really wish I had a photo but believe me, it was great!! read more

price is so reasonable. good for big party. all my coworker love the mango cake.
