My neighbor got us a box of pineapple cakes for us and it was the best I've ever had in the US. The pineapple cakes are really pricey, but the texture and crust is way better than those packs that they sell in the market. read more

I have purchased different Ift bakery products from Marina supermarket in Cupertino in two separate years, and both times were before the moon cake festival. I love their pineapple cakes. However, I am utterly disappointed and disgusted by their other products. I have purchased the vegetarian green bean cake this year on 25August and found out most of the individually sealed cake have moles the next day. Then I remembered last year, I bought other products and had the same problem. I'm not going to buy anything from there anymore in the future. read more

I was brought here by Sam and was kind of overwhelmed by the mooncake and other cake selection.After a bit of browsing I got myself a regular mooncake, a twin cake and a date york cake. It seems like this place does lots of wholesale business as well as retail since all the cakes are on racks in this packed little shop and not that well presented. There's even a freezer here which has some frozen dumplings here. Very confusing. I got some but I've not tried them yet, so there's nothing to report. To be honest, I don't remember too much about the cakes, except the date cake - rich and heavy...like molasses. read more

My family and I love this place. Their baos and pineapple cakes are the best. They bake very high quality pastries.

High quality Chinese tamales and meat balls with reasonable price. Also, the price of the breads and cakes are affordable. It is slightly cheaper than other shops nearby. The parking lots is absolutely amazing. No need to look for parking unlike other bakery store in this neighborhood. read more

This rating is for the original sun cakes only and their service. I usually come here to help a friend buy suncakes and bring them to Vegas since theres nothing around him that makes these cakes. Normally I call my friend and give the phone to them so they can take the order down. The lady gave me a suncake to try once and a pineapple tart to try another time. Each of the items I've tried is actually really good. I love how fresh it is but who doesnt love fresh bakery goods???! Prices have gone up over time. I do think it is pricey but their suncakes do make great gifts or desserts for the home. Other then the price the people who work here are super nice. They even have a rewards program here so u can use it towards baked goods. I overall really like their suncakes. Prior to coming here I had never had it or heard of it before. But it isnvery fresh. Super flakey and just the right balance of sweetness. Not overly sweet but not bland either. Perfect desserts for any day or even good for tea and cakes. Yum! read more

SO expensive for mooncakes! Came here to buy mooncakes for my in laws and family - and they charged me $68 for 8 of them!!! I'm like WHAT?!?! They didn't even have EGG inside them! What a rip off. We were so last minute anyways, so we got it, but still... Wow... I've bought EGG mooncakes for that amount (Note to everyone: Having egg is extra price) I was SO disappointed in the mooncake selections/prices. -_- If I weren't in a hurry, I'd go to another bakery I know that sold mooncakes of the same quality for way less. PARKING: A lot, private lot They take card. read more

After devouring a box of Chia Te pineapple pastries my friend brought me from Taiwan, I was on a never-ending quest to find something similar. Finally after hitting up three different bakeries in the SGV, this one takes the cake (pun intended). Their pineapple pastry is amazing. I bought three different types just to be thorough with my research (well that's what I told myself), and the one from the attached photo was the most similar to Chia Te's in consistency, presentation, and taste! read more

IFT Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Gabriel, California

满月油饭sticky rice with pork, two eggs and chicken leg are pretty good. It's freshly made. Smells good and taste good with dry mushrooms and cilantro. Good choice, strongly recommended. read more

service is okay and typical for chinese bakeries. I usually go in and get the wife cakes for my mom, pay, and leave. No hassle! PS. New favorite thing is their homemade almond milky candy. A bit pricey for a lb but soooo good and fresh. Literally cannot stop eating them! read more

do yourself a favor and get the "yuenyang bing" - im pretty sure I spelled that incorrectly . This modest little pastry looks like the dodgiest thing there ... It's a bit smaller compared to the green bean cakes (Lv Dou peng) and it is absolutely free from any lavish decoration . Basically , it looks like soemthing you'd want to avoid . BUT WORDS OF THE WISE: don't judge a book by it's cover . My mother brought a whole bunch of these babies from LA to Phoenix and my first reaction was --whattheheck . But one bite lifts you into blissful paradise . Soft , chewy mochi blanketed around pork floss (legit Asian stuff) and in the center is a savory egg yolk . Pure perfection and oh so satisfying . A hefty $4 something for it though :/ but whatever , sometimes you just gotta splurge ! This bakery has some other pretty good stuff like the pineapple cake, which is made pretty authentic . &&dont expect much from the decor and atmosphere , this is a like hardcore Chinese hole-in-the-wall place , not some swanky Paris baguette or Bottega Louie . read more

Came here on a weekday to get a nice little pastry for my staff at work. Always wanted to try out this place and used this as a reason to go! Close to work. I knew I definitely wanted to try the red bean mochi and taro mochi buns. Parking can be tough esp at the time I went bc everyone is in this plaza shopping, eating, hanging out, etc. At least it's a large parking lot! Walked in and surprised how small this place was! Was able to snag the last three red bean mochi buns and two taro buns! haha Sorry, it was me who took them all! Apparently, they are called European style red bean or taro buns... Any how, these buns have the respective filling with a nice layer of mochi in them, too! They kinda did have a variety of buns out, but I wasn't interested in those! Almost had forgotten to look at the pastries in the refrigerated display (the reason why I went there initially...kinda haha) bc I was so excited about my buns! hehe The display was more disappointing- not too many pastries in there like I had anticipated. Settled for the decent looking fruit tart (one raspberry/blackberry tart and one blueberry tart). They looked super tiny and filed with regular cream and not custard as I had hoped.. The one lady working there was super nice though! She was telling me about the different buns and what was inside them! They did seem to have a variety of Chinese moon cakes and more traditional pastries (think pineapple cake). Again, not what I was craving but I would come back to try. As I was paying, I saw a cart full of freshly baked trays of goodies! I couldn't stop drooling/staring haha next time! If you come here, please do try these European buns as they are heavenly! The mochi is super duper soft and gooey. I do favor the taro over the red bean. All in all, I'm definitely coming back when in the area! read more

It looks ghetto but the stuff they sell is better than the average Chinese bakery chain. Tai yang bing (aka sun cake aka maltose cake) for the win! JONASAPPROVED! read more

YUMMY ASIAN PASTRIES!!! Layers and layers of buttery goodness, baked heaven in dough, and cakes! Absolutely love the moon cakes and the pastries. Don't forget to pop them in the refridgerator otherwise they'll spoil fast since they don't use preservatives! read more

A bakery that will have you wearing a "I heart Carbs!" shirt. If I lived closer, I would weigh 500lbs because of them. My favorites are diced pickled lettuce (kem-chai) topped bun and shredded dried pork bun! read more

Having their homemade Macadamia Milky Candy. Mmm delicious! Nice chewy texture but not to hard and starts to dissolve in your mouth. Not too sweet and a good amount of macadamia sweetness comes through. Good job! read more

Yeah, you know it's good when you go in lookin to pick up a bun or two for breakfast and somehow end up with two bags of goodies costing you over $20... its gonna take me a while to go through everything, but the taro bun has been good and the pineapple cake isnt too shabby so far... and im excited that they sold pre-made frozen steamed buns and pre-made chinese tamales~ read more

It looks a bit ghetto from outside. They try to use white wallpaper to cover the window from inside to avoid people seeing through. I think the bread is good but you could find competitive products in any other bakery on valley. The main reason that led to this low rating was the STAFF and SERVICE. The staff are pushy. I went it one time and the staff kept asking me what I wanted and if I asked her what the ingredients. She couldn't really inform me plus.. then always ask me "you want one you want one?". I was like, "hold on hold on.. i will let you know if i want anything"... Another thing was "dishonest"! I was looking at the cake fridge. And then I was about to get the black forest but they recommended me the Tiramisu. Turned out it's the worst Tiramisu I ever have... read more

Yummy traditional-style taiwanese pastries, but a bit expensive. I still can't get away from spending over $30 each time I come to buy stuff back to the SF Bay Area though. Yummy...but pricey. read more

I have been eating their ba-wan (Taiwanese for "meat ball") for sooooo long! Have always loved it!! :)

I've bought their breads a number if times. This place is underrated as said in one of the comments. The bread is no less than delicious. It is nice that you don't have to get in line to buy the same delicious breads from 85 degree c. This store actualy makes fresher breads than the one in Rowland heights. read more

Stopped by here to look for a small cake and found they had only a limited selection. Lady behind the counter really tried to get me to buy their tiramisu which didn't look too appealing. Their bread selection was pretty limited too .. only thing that really seemed in stock were moon cakes. Ended up w/ 2 small slices (~$2.50 each) of mango mousse cake. Picked up a short order of candles -- overall, it did a nice job. =) Two slices were the perfect size for a small bday w/ in laws. =) ... We all liked their soft cake and smooth mango cream. =) ... overall.. OK ... but definitely not up to par with their Rowland one. They do not sell meals here like they do at Rowland and is not as clean. read more

Since coming back to Taiwan I've been on the hunt for the best Sun Cake in LA. I Fu Tang's came close to the famous Chia Te in Taiwan, but there was less filling and flakiness. It was also a bit expensive - about $1.50 for a small pastry! The owner was super nice though and let us try some pastries and gave us milk candy with peanuts to go. Would definitely come back when the craving hits again. read more

They have a good selection of meal buns, tai yang bing, and egg yolk pastries. The cashier answered all my questions about which baked goods she preferred and the fillings in the buns. I chose the taro mochi bun (thumbs up), which had a chewy mochi center and some taro paste. The tai yang bing was bigger than I'm used to, a little too sweet since the center was thicker. It was kind of expensive for $1.25 (Sheng Kee up in the Bay sells it for $0.80), and I'm used to basically all food & gas to be cheaper in SoCal. It ranks 3rd out of 3 of bakeries I've tried. Thumbs up for the cheese pineapple cake - the crust has a cheesey taste. The egg yolk pastries covered an entire shelf, and being curious as to why there were 5 varieties with gift boxes, etc., I picked one up. It was almost $3 (like a plate of dim sum), and pretty tiny. I chose the green tea paste. Ah, I was disappointed. The paste was dry, I could taste the green tea much, and the crust was nothing special. The salted yolk wasn't bad, but nothing about this pastries merits 5 varieties and a whole shelf... and definitely not a gift box. read more

If you think of getting mooncake. Consider getting mooncake somewhere Else. This place super expensive, charges plain or one yolk a slice for $9.00. The slice is smaller than the rest of other store that Sell mooncake. If you still want to get mooncake at this location. Be my guess . It only an advice. read more

There is something to be said about nostalgia. It can come from a wide variety of sources. From the way the sun sets over the ocean to the symbolic shape of a full moon representing completeness. With I Fu Tang Baker, it's from their wide array of traditional food items. From the traditional pastries which I am hugely fond of to the seasonal ethnic foods they seem to carry year round, everything that comes out of that shop reminds me of a placed I used to call home. Maybe it's the way that the nice lady greeted me in Taiwanese that reminded me of a simpler time when I took the simple (green-bean pastry) for granted and not thinking twice before scarfing it down. When I saw the price, I thought to myself, wow, a bit on the expensive side at $4.75 each. Nonetheless, I bought 3 to satisfy my hunger for my root. A small price to pay in my humble opinion. The sweetness of the green bean intertwined well with the savory flavor of the salted pork center along with the flaky crust created a good harmony. It is something I remember well and is one of the better ones of all the ethnic bakeries in the San Gabriel valley. Despite all the nice flavors, it's still not the same creaminess and clean taste from a well-known place in Tai Chung. Nonetheless, it is a close facsimile to something that only resides in my memory. I will always remember visiting my maternal family and bringing boxes and boxes of these pastries as a way to deliver good thoughts and intention. It's amazing how a piece of pastry can trigger so much memory. I Fu Tang will always be a place I am willing to come to where I can reminisce something close to my root. Especially when it's close to a traditional holiday like the Mid Autumn, Duanwu (Dragon Boat Festival), or Chinese New Year. What can I say, I like a bit of nostalgia to go with my Americanized upbringing. read more

Mung Bean Cake! One of my favorites around the Autumn Festival. Unfortunately, it was a little disappointing. It tasted a little bland, but It's not that bad. At least the stuffing part tasted pretty legit, and not overly greasy. The cake? Not great. We had a strawberry cake. The cream was fluffy and didn't taste greasy, which is a plus. But as for how long the cake had been sitting in the fridge before I bought it, who knows? The almost slices were wayyyy too...chewy? Some of the strawberries seemed all right, most of them looked and tasted like they were on the verge of rotting, way too mushy. Come back here another time, maybe when I can track down when their cakes are made fresh! read more

This bakery is ok, the people are nice. But Momo on Garvey in Monterey Park has a much better selection, especially with cakes. Parking is good, no trouble and the items we have tried are very fresh and top shelf. It goes back to selection. read more

I love their BREAKFAST!!!!! So yummy!!!! Their 肉蛋飽！fulfill my satisfaction on craving Taiwanese Mei yi Mei!!!!! They sometimes have breakfast specials to order meat egg hamburger get free soy milk or milk tea~ recommended to call order before you come ^^ read more

We were in southern california for our vacation and finally got the chance to try this place out for their pineapple cakes and they were delicious and the best we ever tasted. I also tried their caramel pudding from the cooler and it was pretty good too. The people who work there are really nice and helpful as well. The prices are a little high but I guess you get what you pay for. I'd rather spend a little more for better quality taste. Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. read more

Just bought some pork bum and dumpling there. Taste very fresh not like the one bought from 99 ranch. Definitely will come back!! read more

IFT Bakery - Just bought all these from there!! My boy loves the pork bum so much~~ - Bakeries Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I only go here for 2 things: egg roll cookie and wife cake. It's not your typical egg roll at the chinese restaurant, it crumbles when you bite into it. The cookie is long and crispy and a little bit sweet. It's better when it's still warm ( I like it better from Rowland Heights store). What's a wife cake? Wife cake is a traditional chinese cake. It's round, white, and flaky on the outside and sweet and chewy inside. It's not the best wife cake but it's pretty good. read more

Yes, it's an average Asian bakery but for the price and options available - it's slightly above average. I usually get there coffee bread, green tea/red bean or one of the healthy walnut/cream cheese ones. Those are all slightly heavier and larger in size in the individually wrapped bread section. All the other stuff I feel is overpriced read more

My parents are both from Taiwan and whenever we're in the area, they buy boxes and boxes of their baked goodies. Enough said.

First time at this bakery. The honey cake was very moist and airy. I also tried the sun cake and egg custard bun. Everything tasted fresh and I would definitely go back to try more of the baked items next time I'm in the area. read more

I came here instead of my usual Simply Splendid because I was looking for smaller size sandwich bread. You can't fit Splendid's sandwich bread in a typical sandwich ziploc. I Fu Tang, you can! In addition to the wheat sandwich bread I got, I got the raisin bread. It is a twisted round in bedded in a paper mold. The top is sprinkled with sugar. The sandwich bread is smooth and soft. The raisin bread is not as smooth though. The airy holes are large and not stringy looking. However, there are a TON of raisins! That is definitely a plus. I also tried their pineapple cakes which are pretty good because you can taste the freshness. It is a bit pricy, but the cheap ones usually use winter melon as a filler. I also eyes their Hokkaido milk cake, next visit for sure! read more

I just discovered that I Fu Tang Bakery is one of the best places for Chinese cookies in the Greater Los Angeles area. The Almond Cookies are as fresh as you can get them and two times larger than the pink boxed, mass produced Twin Dragon Almond Cookies that I grew up with. What I also like about the I Fu Tang Bakery version is the wholesomeness of the cookie. It's not as sweet and it makes you feel good when you eat them. I also like the Walnut Cookie too. It's a little denser, but the walnuts are not as pronounced in the cookie. Now, don't be surprised that it will cost you $2.99 for bag of 6 cookies. Just remember that cost shouldn't matter when want the best of the best! read more

I love their pineapple cookies. (The ones wrapped with that box-like cover with the lady's picture on it). For some reason they sell some crappy brands too but the ones in the box they actually bake and it's fresh and good. Too bad the prices keep going up. They were $1 each just a couple of years ago which was already expensive, and then $1.25, $1.35, and now it's $1.45 each. This is for a cookie less than 2 inches wide. For that I took off a star. read more

Great Service. One of the best bakeries in San Gabriel. Good prices for the size of the buns and cakes.

Good place in Los Angeles to get mooncakes. I only buy mooncakes here because I feel they mirror the yi-fu tang in Taiwan in taste and quality. Mooncakes are pricier than what you get in 99 Market, but you get what you pay for. It was like $35/box of 12 and probably more for the flakey ones with eggyolk, but I bought 3 boxes. I also bought a few separate green bean pongs ($3.25). YUM! You and your relatives can appreciate it, as the Mid-Autumn Festival only comes once a year! read more
