Delicious we loved the cake Fresh taste was refreshing Easy to cut on the sheet cake, though I thought it was expensive $200 for a half a sheet Cake read more

I had trouble getting in contact with the bakery by phone when trying to make a cake purchase. I was able to get in contact eventually but by that time their cakes were sold out. The store size is as expected of a small bakery. I think due to its cake output and the demand i would recommend calling earlier than later to reserve a cake, but also hope that they pick up the phone. The guava cake did not have very much guava taste. I'm used to the Zippy kind of guava cake and was hoping to experience something similar. The guava cake at this bakery may be a Guam influenced type so keep your expectations in check. read more

From all the pictures you think this was a really busy, well stocked bakery. But maybe I came on an off day. I got there maybe around opening time and it was very sparse pickings. It just seems like the cupcakes in the display case were from the previous day. Some still had holiday decor on them. I guess still good until it changes colors?? I didn't see any empanadas and I think maybe they were still baking things. I got the guava, the ube, the pistachio and the pandan cupcakes. All flavors I love, but sadly didn't taste in any of the cupcakes. All the flavors were like whispers of the their flavoring. Even teh cupcake itself wasn't anything to call home about. I think Pillsbury has more flavor. Super let down because I was really excited to try this place. Located in a weird almost abandon looking plaza. The parking lot is kinda small. I thought they may have been closed when I approached the door because of how barren it looked. Way overpriced per cupcake ($4.50) and they're regaulr sized cupcakes with whipped topping. read more

I used to buy guava birthday cakes here but i will spend my money elsewhere after the terrible service i received when trying to order a guava wedding cake. I contacted Elite months in advance for a guava wedding cake that they said they could make and after a few email exchanges the baker ghosted me. I even called the shop after follow up emails and a month of no response and spoke to a nice lady who said she would tell the baker to prioritize a response back. He never responded, which in hindsight was a blessing. I found Gong Dessert Shop/Droothebaker who made me my wedding cake and delivered. Everyone raved about my matcha sponge cake with yuzu mousse, fresh raspberries white chocolate chantilly. If youre trying to order a large special cake, skip Elite Bakery. read more

I'm always a happy camper when having anything from elite bakery. Especially when it comes to finding good guava cake. They even have personal size guava cake. I've tried many cupcake flavors. Guava..Pandan..Mango..Ube. Yummm! They're all good. I have yet to try their other items but my sweet tooth gets the best of me. read more

I'd been hearing friends rave about this cake for months, so I finally gave in and ordered one for my son's birthday. The team at Elite Bakery couldn't have been more courteous, placing the order over the phone was effortless, and pickup was a breeze. Now, the cake itself? Absolute magic. Our family devoured it down to the very last crumb; something we've never managed with a birthday cake before. It was that good. In fact, we loved it so much we didn't even wait for another occasion... we ordered the same cake again for our next party. Thank you, Elite Bakery, for turning a simple birthday into something unforgettable. read more

Elite Bakery - Gauva chiffon cake - Bakeries Near Me - Union City, California

Found Elite Bakery online since I was on the search for Guava cake. I tried calling them multiple times to order and they never picked up. When I finally got through on a Friday for a cake pick up on Sunday, they let me know that they only had cupcakes available. Got two guava cupcakes. I've been on the search for guava cakes because I've been craving the cakes I would get at Zippy's. There were so many good reviews about it and it unfortunately missed the mark. Wasn't as flavorful as I would like and a little pricy. read more

Pricey, but made it official that this is the go to for guava chiffon in the East Bay! A quarter sheet cost about 90$. Wanted to try the different tropical flavors of cupcakes, but was shocked that a half dozen costs more than 30$ - I just tried the POG flavor, not bad of a flavor. Otherwise guava chiffon is a must! read more

We came here with friends to try their Empanadas. We ordered six to go and didn't eat them until we got home about an hour in a half away. Of course we used our air fryer to warm them up. They were crispy on the outside with a mild/spicy filling. The ratio of filling was just right and depending on your appetite one should be good enough to keep you satisfied. I would come back for it and try some of the bake goods. read more

Several years ago, prior to C0v!d, Kristina F recommended Elite Bakery when I visited the Bay Area. I could never come because I have been landing at San Jose Airport and going to see families in South Bay. But last weekend, I purposely landed in Oakland and got a chance to visit Union City and Elite Bakery. Not knowing the staff shortage and food has to be preordered by phone as most of food required 15-20 minutes to cook. I ordered some Filipino breads to take home and cupcakes for the moment while driving back to my hotel room. Everything was so delicious. I'll be back to try other items that require to call ahead. read more

My apologies for the picture. It was taken in a resto-bar hence, it is a little dark. A friend bought this for aniother friend's bday. The cake is soft and moist, not too sweet. I just could not decide if I like the guava flavor or not. A lot of my friends loved it, but I think it is an acquired taste. I would probably get some in the future and try it again to see if I learned to like it. read more

Got tired of ordering from 85c or ParisB etc for birthday cake, so wanted to try something different and after reading yelp reviews around the area, I chose to give Elite a try and it was a great decision. The cake layers were moist and flavorful. The yellow cake layers were soft and consistent throughout the cake, it doesn't fall apart either which was well made. The cake still tasted well after a day or two in the fridge as left over. The frosting on top and side were also very good, foamy and tasted like milk, not artificial. read more

Picked up my empanadas! They are so delicious. Love this bakery and the family! Thanks Ken! Happy holidays!

Greeted immediately by a nice guy. We were able to place an order for Guamanian empanadas, chicken kelaguen (cold), red rice (hot), and half dozen of Guamanian empanadas. There is a 15-30 min wait for the empanadas. The chicken kelaguen was good to satisfy my craving and it was a generous amount that lasted a few days. The empanadas were so good and I do wish I had gotten more but hubby and I enjoyed them very much. The place is small and has a few tables if you want to eat there and they had tons of pastries but I was mainly here for the two items I got and it was so worth it!! read more

The spicy empanadas have been dialed back in spice, so to me, they are even better! They have guava cupcakes, which are so freaking amazing!!!! I recommend calling ahead to order or you may end up waiting a good 15+ min depending on your order. Recap: Must try the empanadas, chicken kelaguen, red rice, and guava cupcakes! Ensure to treat yourself! You won't be disappointed read more

I highly recommend this bakery. They have been here for years. They always have great customer service. I ordered the guava cake a week before. I think for any cake, you must ordered a couple days before. They do have cupcakes in the bakery. There is plenty of parking. I came in to get my cake and it was ready. It was for my son's party. Everyone loved it! Thank you! read more

Oh when i saw their "must try" on yelp, i sure wanted to try them! My most favorite one is the ube cupcake! I also got mango, guava, chocolate, strawberry & cookies and cream. The cupcakes are not that sweet at all which is what i enjoyed about it. I also was curious if they had pandan which they did but sold out! I can't wait to go back & try it as well! read more

Highly recommend this place! The service was amazing and Chamorro food was even better, authentic taste. Was really craving kelaguen, red rice, and empanadas so my wife and I made our way to Elite Bakery from the South Bay They are very communicative about the wait for freshly fried empanadas (which wasn't long at all) but it was well worth the wait read more

Love this place. I order from them when family and friends visit the Bay. The food is amazing and is like a warm hug from an old friend - comforting and nostalgic. read more

Back in December, I got a box of guava cupcakes and pandan cupcakes for my get together with my bestie. Staff there were very nice and friendly. They gave me free lightbulb ring toppers on my cupcakes, which was very cute. It was first time trying this place, and I love it. The guava cupcakes were sweet and a slight tang with a pleasant guava flavor. The icing was fluffy and perfectly sweet. The cake part was moist and yummy. Pandan was also a good flavor as well. Light sweetness. I would definitely return again the next time I want to get some cupcakes! :) read more

This is one of my favorite places for a cake. I just cannot seem to never get enough of their Ube/Taro Cake. Grace and the whole staff is always super awesome. They never get my orders incorrect especially considering I order here every year for my birthday cake if Ube / Taro. Their cakes is phenomenal. If you love chiffon and light fluffy then this is the place to go because you never feel heavy even after eating 1 piece of cake. They also offer so many other options of flavors such as red velvet, pandan, mango, coconut and sell them as cupcakes. So many pastries inside to choose from. I am a forever fan and will continue to order my cakes here every year. Just ordered my hubby his ube cake here for his bday a few days ago. We love it!! Please support. read more

This place has the best chiffon cakes and cupcakes! They have guava, ube, mango, pandan and many more. I ordered 8" guava cake ($46). It is airy and not too sweet how we all liked it! ! Cake has the right amount of fluffiness and whipped cream frosting. It was delicious and a hit at the party. They have a display of cupcakes to purchase on the spot too. read more

I needed a cake last minute for my dad's birthday. He likes Guava cake and I was able to order one from this place 1 day before our party. That was really awesome that they were able to do it on such short notice. Also I had some unexpected guests and needed a bigger cake the day of and they were able to pull that off and upgrade to a bigger cake at the pick up. Nobody does that!!! Huge thanks to this bakery for doing that for us. I have to add they are very friendly it seems like that is hard to come by these days. The bakery is clean and in a decent location. The cake was so nice and delicious!! Everyone loved it!! We were very happy and will definitely be back and also have already recommend this place to our friends. read more

Got 3 different cupcakes: Mango cupcake: really me. Both myself and my wife loved it. It's moist and has a good mango flavor and this was 2 days after purchase. Guava cupcake: this was our second favorite had a nice guava flavor. However, my wife is not a guava person. Vanilla cupcake : this was good. It's run by a family who takes pride in their bakery items and their service. It's a small place. Top notch overall. read more

Quality cakes and pastries. Made fresh to order. Catering or take away. The staff are friendly and easily becomes like family to you.

I ordered the 8" round at 4.5" tall red velvet with chocolate custard filling cake (standard cake) for my mom's birthday because that's what she wanted. I was advised when I reached out by email that standard cakes need to be ordered at least 4 days in advanced and paid upfront. I ended up paying over the phone. I was a little hesitant as there weren't any red velvet cake reviews on here (if any). Once I took my bite, all of my doubts disappeared because it was delicious! The cake is rich and a bit on the heavier side so this cake can go a long way with a small slice. It was frosted with whipped cream making it a nice balance to the richness on the inside. What a delicious cake! Service was alright, I arrived around 9:45 am on a Sunday and no one was there to greet me. They do have a bell for you to ring, but it would have been nice to be greeted by a friendly face. It shows that even the people at the front put in work in the back. When worker came out, she helped me pick up my cake and rang me up. Note: if you want a custom cake, you need to place your order 2 weeks in advance and pay first. Still highly recommend! read more

Tbh the cake was ok. To be fair maybe chocolate cake isn't their specialty? They were able to fit in my last minute cake request (next day pick up). I ordered a 6" round chocolate cake with fresh fruit filling. The cake was pretty, but it was dry. I had a bite of it the next day and decided to just throw the rest out. I do want to add that the bakery staff was pleasant and the inside of the bakery was clean. I do appreciate them fitting my order in but I was disappointed in the cake. read more

Elite Bakery - 6" round chocolate pound cake with fresh fruit filling - Bakeries Near Me - Union City, California

Ordered the: - Red Velvet Cupcake - Guava Cupcake - Oreo Cupcake - Mango Cupcake (They also have a yummy Ube cupcake as well) The very first time I tried this place was for a birthday party at the Pepsi fields and fell in love with the Guava cupcake. There is a yummy filling inside that oozes out like melted chocolate. So freaking good! The cupcake itself is very moist and the whipped cream is so light yet flavorful. One cupcake alone is super filling for me. It's so delicious that I was thinking about it ever since I had them which was a while ago ! All of their cupcakes are so yummy and so moist! They also serve hot food and cakes for events! So if you're looking to book someone for a birthday party or for an event this is definitely a place you should keep in mind. This is also a Guamanian owned place as well which is apart of Polynesia! As we walked in there were signs of Guam and no matter the ethnicity it was just beautiful to see a place of our Polynesian people this close to home! You've gained forever supporters family! The service was quick and easy. The cupcakes are about $4 each but prices vary depending on the certain cupcakes but the taste of delight is so worth it! The gentleman L.T that helped my father and I was a family member of the owner and was super attentive and patient. L.T also provided great information about all the items and one of their best items they had on the menu which we will be returning to try! I didn't get to get your name brotha but we appreciate your kindness and greetings. (I got his name and updated the review ) There is a parking lot dedicated to their area to the side of the shop and a parking lot near the gas station to the corner of the shop as well but you may have to do a small amount of walking. The shop itself is small and the wait for our cupcakes was very fast so it's a good in and out pace. Thank you family for providing such yummy desserts and this will definitely not be our last visit! Mahalo and sending much alofas to you! YALL GO SUPPORT THEM, TRUST ME THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT! Cheers! read more

Gotta please the birthday Filipino mama with an ube cake lol. Saw that ube cake is one of this bakery's specialties and pre-ordered one via phone (bakery needs at least a few days heads up for regular cake orders). The ube cake here is one of the softest cakes I've had.....It's like eating a cloud lol. Super soft spongy chiffon cake layers that aren't dry-tasting at all. The whipped cream covering the layers is very delicate yet still holds its shape even hours of the cake being left at room temperature. Light ube flavor throughout the cake. Not too sweet at all. Amazing cake. If you're looking for a cake that isn't too sweet/rich and like ube flavor I strongly recommend getting this one! read more

I read many good reviews on the guava cake so I had to try it for my dad's birthday. I called 2 days prior to place my order and it was very easy and quick. The 8" cake can feed 10 people and was $35. You get a receipt after paying over the phone but I never got mines. You can call them and have them resend it to you. Day of pickup was smooth. Plenty of parking as it's within a little plaza. They let you check the cake before sealing up the box. The cake wasn't too sweet and you can taste a little bit of guava flavor. Majority of my family did say the guava flavor wasn't that strong and it would've been better if it was a little bit sweeter. I would come back to try the other flavors, especially the ube. read more

I highly recommend this bakery! Their guava cake is my fave. The highest Asian compliment is when someone says it's "not too sweet". I love how light but with the right amount of flavor this cake has. It's one of my go to for birthday cakes. Great service and helpful too! read more

Always love coming here. Red rice, kelaguen, tatiyas, lantiyas, pumpkin turnovers, spicy empanadas - they are all great. And the staff is the best! read more

I came for their guava cake but apparently that item needs to be pre-ordered. I wish this bakery was closer to home. They have so many authentic Guamanian dishes including kelaguen, red rice, and empanadas. Since they didn't have a small guava cake for purchase, I opted for their cupcakes instead. Their guava cupcakes were delicious. Actually all the cupcakes I tried from this bakery, I enjoyed immensely. Their cupcakes are not sickening sweet like Sprinkles or Kara's. They're lighter but the flavors still come through. I can definitely taste the guava, pistachio, and taro, which were the 3 flavors I tried. Because their cupcakes are lighter than some of the other famous cupcake competitors, I was able to try more flavors. Plus the cupcakes here didn't make me feel sluggish or bloated after eating them. I will have to pre-order a guava cake from them one day. Looking forward to getting one soon since I have some family members with upcoming birthdays. The lady that helped me was very honest and knowledgeable about the products the bakery offered. Thank you Elite for serving delicious baked goods and yummy Guamanian food. read more

The guava cake is tasty, light, not too sweet. The 8" one can serve 14 small slices. With ice cream, it's the perfect amount of cake.

Ugh... where do I even start?! I'm just SO GLAD that we have this place out here in the Bay. Whenever I feel homesick for CHamoru food (that my CHamoru boyfriend can't cook - ha!), I feel at ease knowing that I can just drive across the bridge and get me some authentic, so very tasty empanadas! It's best to place your order over the phone in advance (though payment is required over the phone) to ensure that your food is piping hot and ready for you when you go! We have tried the latiya and kelaguen, and both were excellent. BUT we will always come here for the empanadas and buchi buchi, which we think are PERFECT. Thank you for healing my mahalang heart! read more
