I know this bakery is part of a chain, but honestly, this location gave me one of the best bakery experiences I've had. From the phone call to placing the order, the customer service was excellent. The staff took their time answering my questions about the cake design and size, and I never felt rushed. Big thanks to the lady who helped me over the phone and especially to the baker who made the cake. She did an amazing job, and the cake turned out beautiful exactly as requested. They have a large selection of breads, pastries, and cake designs, and they're happy to customize cakes if you have your own ideas. The bakery also looked clean and organized. I also liked that they displayed photos and prices of the pastries on the wall, which made ordering easy. Most importantly, the cake was delicious. The fruits tasted fresh, and the cream was light, fresh, and not overly sweet. Everything was balanced perfectly. Overall, a great experience from start to finish, and I'll definitely be back again. :) read more

The birthday cakes are great and always reliable to get same day if you need. Cash only though! read more

Always with a great selection of buns and baked goods. Service is decent and efficient. No real ambiance, but it's a no frills type of establishment. Come ready with cash! I'll come back with some photos the next visit. There's a reason they have so many locations across SF. read more

Love this place for Chinese breads. We always get the shredded pork rolls (with and without cream) and red bean bread. You'll need to purchase 8 breads for them to pack in a box, otherwise they pack in bags. There also is no menu, so you'll need to point for them to pack what you want. The cashiers don't speak English very well, so you know the place is authentic! read more

Fancy Wheatfield Bakery is a solid neighborhood staple. The location is convenient, right in the heart of the area, making it easy to stop by whenever you're craving Chinese pastries. The ambience is simple and no-frills--clean, bright, and welcoming without being over the top. Service is friendly and efficient, which makes the whole experience smooth. I've been coming here for a few years, and the hot dog pastries are a favorite, while their cakes are seriously amazing. it's great to have a reliable bakery like this nearby. Definitely four stars. read more

I'm not really sure what the hype is about this one. The price is good and the pastries were okay but it just doesn't compete with some of the other bakeries. It looks like they went with the covid restrictions and just stuck with them since it is only pickup now and the area to order is really tiny. There isn't a spot to see the menu from the outside so we had to look at the menu from the tiny pickup area inside and had to step away any time another customer came in to order since we were in the way when we were deciding. Most of the options were bread or cakes so we just went with a sweet roll and a egg tart. While they were cheaper than some of the other bakeries, there really wasn't much to them and they didn't seem worth the price. The roll was just a semi sweet bread and the egg tart was an odd mix of sweet and savory. The staff wasn't unfriendly but wasn't friendly either and the layout made it hard to ask questions. Maybe it was just what we got but I left hoping for more. read more

Special cake designs available for customization and ordering ahead of time for special parties. Or just pick the cakes already on display. If you want specific flavor like mixed cake or flavored mouse (strawberry, mango, chestnut, etc) then order days ahead. Otherwise if you walk in hoping to see what you want then I'm afraid you'll likely be out of luck. As most things in life, Plan ahead for special occasions. Hey you can have cake even if it's not an occasion and you're just getting together with friends and want a treat to bring to the potluck or get together After the pandemic you can no longer walk in there to browse or grab the pastries yourself. Which is a bit intimidating now, you have to line up. Line always goes out the door because it is a small space. Wait your turn then tell them exactly what you want, which for me is a bit uncomfortable because I don't know the names of every pastry there. I always just knew them based on how they looked (and how I remember it tasting, I like it or not). Egg tarts are usually sold out if you go later in the day. Best to get in morning cus everyone loves egg tarts how can you not. It's a delightful eggy treat that fits in your palms They also have a dim sum shop a few doors down. This store is pastries and cakes Opens 8am everyday of the week! Parking is hard in this area. So if there's parking I go. If I can't find parking right away then I just don't go and say no egg tarts for me today. read more

Very bad customer service. Look like you come to get free. Cashier lady is very bad attitude. Owner should take action this cashier.

Do not ever come here! I ordered a cake for pickup, asking for it to be ready by 10am. I arrived to pick it up at around noon, and the employee told me she gave my cake to someone else because I didn't pick it up at 10am. I had already paid at this point, and was refused a refund. She then tried to frost a cake for me on the spot as a replacement, which obviously was not going to look presentable as it needs to chill in the fridge for hours before purchase. Additionally, I heard from a friend that she gave a $20 bill to the cashier, and the cashier insisted that she gave her a $5 bill or a $10 bill. My friend obviously asked to have the change back for the $20, and said they can look at the cameras together if she doesn't believe her. The cashier then refused. read more

I ordered my mom's bday cake here and was quite impressed. Not only was it beautifully decorated with fresh fruits and flowers but the taste was so good that she said, it's not too sweet, IYKYK! What impressed me the most however was the packaging of this 12 inch round cake. They literally put it in a museum casing. I was so blown away when they handed it to me that I had to laugh out loud. You order the same thing and you will say wow! Just like all the family members who first laid eyes on it that day. It really was a sight to see just for a regular birthday cake. read more

The cashier ladies all the time impolite and rude, the bakery is good but no service at all

Good prices. Not a great atmosphere. It looks like it used to be cute but you can only get things to go and they expect you to order right away. The egg tart was just okay. I wouldn't get it again. I wish there were more exciting options. Parking can be tricky but we found some in the neighborhood behind the bakery. read more

Loveee the pork sung rolls from this bakery! My group ordered 2 boxes of 8 pork sung rolls, and they were awesome. The price was pretty average asian bakery cost of $2.60 per roll. I haven't tried any other menu items from here, but there are also drinks, cakes, and other baked goods on the menu. The service was quick, despite a line of customers. There were plenty items in stock when I went around lunch time on the weekend. No wait at all for my group's order of 16 pork sung rolls :) This bakery is for takeout only, no chairs/tables available to customers and only a small lobby area (that would comfortably fit about 6 people) for people to order. There is only street parking nearby, as far as I know. There are credit card restrictions that they note on a flyer near the cash register: no credit cards after 4:30pm. read more

Good product, consistent BUT the worst customer service. I was yelled at because I didn't understand that I was next since she was speaking to me in her language. They handle the money and the food with the same gloves. And before my child can ask if they had an item she was received with a yell of what do you want? Very disappointing as this neighborhood does not only serve one ethnicity. read more

I came in around 12:20pm, to purchase a cake. However, there were only 3 cakes available. Others were made to order. One was a chestnut, strawberry mango mousse & fruit cake decorated with cute things and a Hello Kitty mini figurine. I opted for the Hello Kitty fruit cake. I really want to give 2 stars because whenever I call, they never pick up, but they're really nice in person. So I was only able to go by what they had in the fridge. My family likes the fruit cake, it was smooth & creamy. The fruit inside was sweet, mix of strawberry; mango; melon and kiwi. I have a bag just enough to fit the box, but the lady said it's better to hold it because she's worried I might kick the bag and mess up the cake. Good advice. read more

Was easy to navigate around the bakery and choose what was interesting. read more

Wowza! Bumped into this delightful (Chinese) bakery while window shopping and pretty much by accident. It sits on the corner of Vallejo & Stockton Streets. Pretty much on the imaginary border separating the Chinatown & North Beach sections of San Francisco. The cakes and various baked confectionaries inside the store are fabulous. And all priced very attractively in consideration. Sorry, no photos of this one, but I bought the Coconut Cake Roll, which was {$4. Oh so good! Wishing now that I would've ordered more. Do they have mail order, hmm? They also have a store in South City somewhere...I think in San Bruno, idk? The only bugaboo of course here was the parking situation. Practically non-existent in this part of the city unless you either get very lucky or decide to self pay in the various garages. That of course discourages a spontaneous visit and adds to your shopping budget bottom line. Otherwise two thumbs WAY up for Fancy Wheat! read more

Ordered the mango cake for my partner's birthday. Everyone was impressed with how beautiful the cake was. The sweetness level was perfect for an Asian palette, although there was a bit too much cream for my taste. The first time we went, they ran out of all buns by ~4:30pm except BBQ pork buns, which typically I wouldn't complain about, but the pork itself was a little sweeter than expected. Same for the scallion hot dog bun, which we got on a second visit. That said, I'll still plan to get cakes & buns next time I'm nearby! Service was fine, not super duper friendly, but it's a Chinese takeout bakery... it's exactly as I'd expect. read more

Came here to buy some white bread to make turkey sandwiches and the lady gave me a loaf and said it was white bread. I purchased it, walked out to look at the bread and noticed it's not even white bread, it's wheat bread with some damn raisins. I'm not eating my turkey sandwiches with raisins hell nah. It hasn't even been 15 seconds before I went back in to ask for exchange to white bread. Now the lady said she can't do anything about it if i already exited the establishment. I was like wtf you gave me raisin bread when I asked for white and it's been like 15 seconds only. She told me it's my fault for not checking and she will just throw it away if I don't want it. So I left it there and I know for a fact they are not going to throw it away. Talking like I sneezed in the bread and asked to exchange. Acting like the place is big and spacious talking about some "we can't do exchange or refund if you stepped out" smh. The entire place is like 3 walking steps worth of space. I'll never understand why you'd tarnish your reputation over like $6 with some goofy policy. Never coming back to this shit hole. Yall got competition with neighbor and red house bakery down 2 blocks and this is how you want to treat customers? Disappointing as hell especially when all this was in Cantonese. read more

5 stars because there's never a line and the pastries are CHEAP. And DELICIOUS. I don't know why more people don't know about this place. It's my Saturday morning guilty pleasure. Whatever is in the BBQ rolls is fire. read more

*This review is for the pork sung roll only* My neighbor gave us a box of pork sung rolls from this place. Ok dude they were surprisingly better than I expected! So freaking yummy!! The bread was soft and packed with flavor from the pork floss and lite mayo. I quickly devoured 2 of these before I started getting full. I would want to try the egg tarts and other goodies next time! Looks like they have multiple Fancy Wheat Field Bakery locations. read more

So first of all, a clarification: they sell bakery items such as egg tarts and bread buns, but not Cantonese dim sum (shrimp dumplings, siu mai, etc). There seem to be reviews of the dim sum place down the block that are incorrectly placed on Yelp for this bakery. I really love the baked goods here, especially the seaweed pork sung buns. For some reason, the other locations of Fancy Wheat Field Bakeries do not sell the seaweed buns I love, only this one? (Or maybe they always ran out when I got there). It's crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with seaweed, pork sung, and sesame. The smell is amazing. I toast them at 275F for 12 minutes to get perfectly toasted, warm buns at home. Their egg tarts are okay, not as flakey of a crust as the famous Golden Gate Bakery in Chinatown. With Covid restrictions, they require masks and don't let people grab their own baked goods (which I really appreciate... cuz who knows where people's hands have been). You order behind a plastic wall, and they hand you a nicely packed box with what you ordered. Line was kind of long and inefficient, I had to wait 10+ minutes. read more

Ms."what you want" lady needs an attitude check. Their shop is set up covid style where we can't be inside and it's hard to see what products are left for the day. The moment you step foot at the counter, you're greeted by the "what you want" lady. You'll have no time to decide as she'll make sure you'll feel rushed. The diagram they have at the counter is hard to read and most items are sold out. Disappointed that I spent money here as I should have just bought everything down the street at Red House. More options and much better service. Lady at Red House was super sweet. read more

When we visit SFO we always hand carry the pork sung roll back with us. I have never been to this bakery as our relatives always picks up and packs the roll for us. Next time I visit SFO I must come to this bakery myself as I see there are many goodies besides the pork sung roll read more

The Fresh Fruit cakes here are the best (not to mention a great price)! By my dad's review, "good, not too sweet". The cake is soft and fluffy, with smooth and delicate whipped cream, topped with lots of beautifully arranged fresh fruit. My favorite part is the diced fruit their put between the layers. The packaging is so nice, and they even give you a small set of utensils with a cake cutter, forks, and small plates. I placed an order in advance over the phone, which was very easy, but you can also order items in store if they are available. When I picked up, I accidentally went to their dim sum location just a few doors down (the signs look very similar). The bakery is next to Ilobasco! read more

Always excellent, one of my favorite bakeries in the Bay Area, up there with Rosalind in Pacifica, Backhaus in San Mateo, and Yummy Bakery & Cafe in Chinatown (Tartine doesn't make it because it's a little too crowded, pretentious, and overpriced).

There is a great variety of pastries and Cakes. I keep coming back for the fruit cake.

Very bad attitude. We were not allowed to choose cakes freely. We were asked to stay 5 feet away. It was very inconvenient. I will not come again. read more

The stars of the place are their pastries! Fantastically tasty cookies, and small cakes. I only wish they could ship their products, so I would not have to drive to SFO from Monterey to enjoy them. The best winter melon and lotus cakes; the best egg tarts; the best sesame cookies! The service is appropriate and efficient. The ambience is clean and inviting. A great place to return time and time again. It would be extra nice if they could also extend their hours beyond 4:30, but as a customer, I can adapt. read more

You have to get the Macau tarts. Other items are good too (milk bread) and some savory pastries are worth a shot as well.

Not a 5 star joint, but covid still sucks so everyone gets a pass right now. Swung by after an urban hike to McLaren Park and saw the line out the door. Fyi the storefront sign is in Chinese only so if you're looking for the english name, you will be looking for awhile. Anyways, they're only allowing two people in the building at a time to order. So we got a bunch of goodies. A few things we noticed, their pineapple buns are okay if you've never had Pineapple King bakery buns in the Sunset or HK itself but if you have, you'll be disappointed by these. Their baked bbq pork buns are nothing to write home about. Too much bun to pork ratio and the bbq pork seasoning was bland at best. We didn't finish it. The custard bun was okay but we had another one down the street from Ming Hui and liked that one much better. Overall, they might not be the best, but they have a lot of pastries to choose from and they're decent if you're not too picky. read more

Bought beautiful fruit cake for an employee birthday. 10" fruit cake for $40. If you want writing, additional $1. But I prefer fruit topping. It's prettier. I love traditional Chinese fruit cakes. But this was just disappointing. The sponge was dry, and the fruit was dry! Back in the day, fruit cakes were either strawberry, kiwi, maybe melon or peaches. Or combo of the above. My cake had mango, melon strawberry and kiwi. Unfortunately, the mango wasn't ripe at ALL, it was dry and hard to eat. Honey dew was also not ripe. The other fruit was just ok. JUST DISAPPOINTING. also bought a dozen egg tarts. The crew loved them. They were still warm by the time I got to work. It was light and airy and just the right sweetness! read more

When I came to buy bread this morning, they set it like the setting of the epidemic.The lady working at the front desk, her name is Xiao Ai, and her working attitude is extremely rude and impatient, as if I owe her money. And she said go ahead and complain to me, we don't have a manager and the owner is not in the store. Then I read a lot of comments about the attitude of the staff here. All right, can I just ask is it true that the owner of this store doesn't care about how his employees treat their customers？ read more

*pork sung rolls* The best pork sung rolls I've ever had! Parking might be a bit of a challenge because it's street parking so be prepared to parallel park, you'll also have to pay the meter. Pork sung rolls cost $2.30 and you can get a box of 10-12+ I called ahead and they gave me a pick up time of when is best to arrive. 1 box of these rolls cost $23 for ten pieces. I called around 12pm then showed up at 3pm. There was a bit of a language barrier but I was still able to make my order. Prepare to bring cash, they don't accept credit cards after 4:30pm you can't really walk completely in the store because the register is right at the doorway so you can probably fit 2/3 people to stand inside. Most likely this is due to covid. That's why there's always a line outside. They don't have a bathroom you can use (if you traveled far like me) but there's a round table three shops down if you need to use, just be prepared to ask them if you can use it because you need a code. They were very friendly about it though! There's also a Mc Donald's ten minutes away. The bread is incredibly fluffy, the top reminds me of a pretzel or pizza crust, and the sides are literally the main attraction and reason why I came. I had no idea pork could even look like that and it literally melts in your mouth. It's so savory and delicious. It leaves such a yummy aftertaste in your mouth that makes you excited for your next one. The inside has this creamy sweet filling. I wish they opened up shop closer south of the Bay Area. read more
