    Quick and easy service at a small bakery with cute cakes, buns, and breads. It's your typical bakery, with sweet and savory selections, although I thought it was a bit overpriced. I went in the middle of the day, and they were already out of many items.

    3.14 (2026)I thought I posted this review, it's been on my drafts. 3/5/26 Pacing myself, this shop is less than 5 minutes walking distance from me, Oh my G-- it smelled so good as soon as I walked in. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted in my direction. It was intoxicating. Got custard, bread, cheese hotdog bun, Japanese tangerine peel, and red bean bun, and lastly, certainly not the least, Japanese coconut purple rice bun-very good- not too sweet, soft & supple. I know I will be a repeat customer for sure. Parking is somewhat limited but there's underground spaces. Lots of shops at this plaza by the Hilton. 3.14. (2026) Today I'm trying the coffee mochi bun.

    Lovely and romantic Japanese inspired bakery located in the Hilton Plaza San Gabriel which is at the heart of SGV! It's warm and inviting especially with the soft yellow lighting that caught my eyes. I had to walk right in to be immersed in it all. I was the only customer at the time so it was perfect for all the picture-taking I wanted. Cool! Free above ground and underground parking are available. Above ground space is mighty tight. Be careful driving through and park safely. Lady staff was nice and friendly. I always ask for recommendations especially when it's my first time visit. She was gracious to suggest a few of her go-to(s). Taro Mochi Pork Floss Bread is her Top #1 choice! It is now my Top #1 choice, too. Thank you Miss! I ended up grabbing one of each of these freshly made and beautifully packaged pastries. Prices were reasonable for the quality... averaged about $3+ per pastry. - Taro Mochi Pork Floss Bread (#1 - very tasty bread that's well balanced in sweet and savory all in one!) - Custard Bun (average) - Coffee Mochi Bun (#3 - love the soft and stretchy mochi!) - Butter Black Sesame Crisp (too dry!) - Japanese Coconut Purple Rice Bun (decent) - Coconut Bun (#2 - very yummy that had amazing coconut flavor!) What makes this bakery stands out for me is the softness and bounciness of the bread. It's not overly sweet nor underly bland. Perfect sweetness! Bread was amazingly soft and chewy in a very good way. Highly recommend for all to try! I'm coming back for more of their Taro Mochi Pork Floss Bread and Coconut Bun. I also want to try just their bread and other specialty pastries. Thank you Bake A for stepping up the bakery scene with elevated bread... LOVE IT!

    This is a Japanese inspired bakery located in the San Gabriel Hilton shopping plaza. I got the following: 1. Red bean bread with orange peel: 3.5/5 It had good flavor, not too sweet but the texture could have been better - either softer or crunchy. It was neither so the texture really lacked identity. 2. Mango cake: 2.5/5 Too much cream and not enough cake. The cake to cream ration was off. 3. Pork sung bread with green onions: 4.5/5 This was pretty good. Savory. Overall, it was ok. The interior is bright and modern. Service was just ok as well.

    Thai tea bun was not baked all the way.

    Saw this place after my massage upstairs so I decided to stop in for some goodies. The place looks cute and has cute decor. Some of the bread flavors were very unique and looked really good, so I bought a bunch to try. While some breads were good, some breads were not. The coconut bread display had some that were good and some breads that were almost burnt - so much that I thought it was a different bread. The worst one was the Thai tea bun. It was terrible. I was most excited about it but when I opened the bag the bread was so soft and white. I cut a small slice of it to try and when I ate it I realized it wasn't baked all the way and tasted weird. The dough was still raw! It did have a little browning underneath so I guess they popped it in the oven for a bit, but when I smelled it and touched it, the bun was still pliable as uncooked dough is. So gross! Im not sure if it's intentional to have a par baked/raw bun (like a take and bake pizza) in the case, but did put it in the fridge and baked it today at 375 degrees for 10 min. It still didn't taste good so I threw it out. With so many other great pastry shops in the area who sell fully baked buns, I probably won't be back here.

    Such a cute interior!!! I'm shocked that there's no videos about this place. The inside is so adorable with clean but with cute little details like pastry magnets and Japanese clippings on the wall. My favorite was the coffee mochi bun. Super coffees on the outside with stretchy soft mochi on the inside. I also had the jasmine boba cake. The cream was really milk tea like, so delicious. And crunchy green grapes!!! Also egg tarts are Japanese style not Chinese. Soft and creamy instead of flaky. They use high quality ingredients from Japan!

    I was in the area and saw that this place looked newly opened! I visit Asian bakeries nearly every week to get my bread fix. Bake A's selection was much more unique than I expected - with interesting bread featuring rose petals, lychee, etc. and cute cakes. Ratings for the 3 breads I tried: - Pork Floss Mini Cake: I've tried these at various other bakeries, and Bake A's has the best that I've tried! The sponge cake was extremely soft and the outer pork floss seaweed coating was very delicious. - Japanese Purple Rice Bun: SOO soft and very interesting concept. Sticky purple rice was the filling, which made this bread very substantial. Not sure if I would get this again since it's carbs on carbs. - Chicken Curry Bun: has a crunchy "Tiger" topping that went well with the super soft bun. My bun had NO chicken in the inside! It was all veggies! I ate the whole thing hoping for a shred of chicken - alas, I could not find any. Bake A's cake selection looked super cute with options like 3 in mini cakes, cake boxes, and Swiss rolls. I'll definitely be back to try their cakes! No cash accepted.

    Overall, not bad. We got the orange peel red bean bun and it was just right in terms of fluffiness and sweetness. For those who prefer sweeter desserts, this might not be for them, but this bun has a stamp of approval from my picky Chinese parents in terms of sweetness. The store is cute, and there's so much variety to choose from. I'll be back for more red bean buns soon!

    Came here for grand opening month. Tried two breads and 1 cake. I got the Thai tea bun, Japanese coconut rice bun, and earl grey cake roll. The Thai tea bun was very mediocre and had strange taste to the bun. Tasted like raw flour. The Japanese coconut rice bun was made of similar bun but I did not try this one so no comment. The absolute best was the earl grey milk jelly cake roll! I was sooo delicious. Just the right amount of sweet with tea scent and the jelly in the middle was just perfectly adds to the texture. I will have to try more and maybe it will change how many stars I will give for the food. Service was amazing. The staff here were so nice and friendly. The vibe of the store is so cute and very well designed.

    Wow this bread is dry like the sahara. It has to be sitting there for at least 2 days. I do not recommend this bakery at all!

    As the name of the bakery implies, it's "Perfectly Sweet"…read more I'm generally a bit more wary of purchasing baked goods from non-Asian bakeries since they tend to be sweeter than what my palate likes, but not here! The hours are a bit limited, but I managed to make it in time to grab some pre-made baked goods to go. I got a bag of coconut macaroons, bag of several chocolate chip cookies, 2 red velvet cookies, a baked dog cookie biscuit, and a cute Keroppi sugar cookie. Most of these ended up being gifts, but I did enjoy one of the red velvet cookies and for an already sweet flavor profile with white chocolate chips in it, I was already fearing the worse, but went perfect with a glass of milk. The edges were nicely crisped by the baking too. Delicious. Love that they had a stock of cute, pre-decorated cookies available as well (some Sanrio characters, animals, etc.) They also list all the ingredients used in each of the baked goods that they have prepackaged, which is nice. It's also a cafe where you can order drinks, as well as a place you can order cakes custom order or what they have behind the glass already. There's both seating inside and outside.

I also love their cheesecake and fruitcake, which never disappoint. Whenever I need a birthday treat for a friend, I pick up one of their small cakes. They're always a hit! I especially love the edible chocolate "Happy Birthday" sign and how they package everything so beautifully in a white box with a gold bow and a lavender flower touch it's such a thoughtful and elegant detail. The customer service is consistently amazing warm, welcoming, and always helpful. Highly recommend Perfectly Sweet for anyone looking for high-quality, delicious desserts with a personal touch!

Price ranged from $2.75-$3.75 per bread. Small and cozy interior. Very warm for some reason but we didn't mind since it's winter. It was pretty quiet. I think folks tend to go to bakeries earlier in the day for more selection and fresher bread. They have a good mix of classic and interesting new breads like rose bread (not depicted), but a lot of them were sold out. We ate the bread the next day and it still tasted very fresh. My favorite was the matcha bread with yogurt filling. The taro bun had real bits of taro in the center. Wish there was a little more though. All the breads were good in flavor, not too salty and or sweet. They also have some deals when you buy a certain amount of certain items. Shared parking lot since it's situated in a plaza.

Collecting 10 stamps earns $15 off next visit. FYI - We were asked to pay via phone for the cakes. Parking situation in this plaza is awful during peak times on the weekends. Not only are the spots a little compact, there are also just a constant flow of cars with the market and other eateries.
