    Chocolate cake
    Fernando D.

    I couldn't resist when I saw their cakes. All of it looked so delicious and I was especially craving chocolate. I ordered one slice of their chocolate cakes and enjoyed it. It was not overly sweet and had a good soft texture. It tasted fresh. They had a lot of pastries to choose from, but I only got dessert. Next time, I will try their pastries. Service was quick and efficient. Parking was limited especially on a weekend, but we were able to find parking. There was also a few seats where I enjoyed my slice of cake at. It is a cute small bakery and they also take card.

    Mango Mochi
    Chris Y.

    JJ Bakery is always such a treat! Have been coming here for years an and have a few absolute favorites here: the custard, the walnut bread, and especially the mango mochi. The mango mochi is really amazing... huge, soft, fresh, and perfectly sweet. One of the best I've ever had. Parking is usually super easy too. Most of the time, I can park right in front of the bakery, depending on the time of day. Huge convenience! Prices are great, the quality is consistent, and everything tastes fresh. Definitely one of my go-to bakeries. Highly recommend!

    Bread options

    I was already in the plaza and decided to stop by. They have a wide variety of breads, both sweet and savory, as well as desserts. I ended up getting the Earl Grey Bread, Black Sesame Bread, and the Creme Brulee. The Earl Grey flavor was pretty light in my opinion, but it was still good. The black sesame and creme brulee were definitely the standouts. The black sesame flavor was strong throughout, which I really liked, and the creme brulee had great texture and flavor. The staff was okay overall, though the woman checking us out was very nice. Pricing is also not bad. Parking was easy in the plaza lot. Definitely a spot I'd come back to if I'm in the area.

    Sesame Bun and Almond Puff Pastry
    Caes F.

    JJ Bakery is a local Arcadia bakery, specializing in Asian bread, buns, lunar new year mooncakes, egg tarts and pies. Today, I went there to see if I could get a puff pastry filled with sugar custard. They ran out. No hot dog bun either. The chicken pies are sold in the morning and go fast. They also sell Chinese food, buns, beef stew, and rice burritos. Think convenient store meets bakery. Their cakes are not too sweet and pretty darn tasty.

    Supreme Salted Rice Ball
    Christine S.

    JJ Bakery is similar in concept to 85°C Bakery -- you grab the pastries you want as you walk through a line and pay at the counter. The only thing is that JJ Bakery is MILES better as the food is so much more delicious and satisfying. My husband and I got their Curry Beef Pie and their Supreme Salted Rice Ball (with Chinese sausage, egg, and pork sung) for a quick breakfast. There was an explosion of flavors in the curry pie, and the light, flaky crust just elevated the pastry to a whole new level. The rice ball was the perfect combination of tastes and textures, from the crispy pork sung to the sweet and savory sausage to the fluffy, sticky rice. I couldn't decide which pastry was better :) Just note that this place is more grab-and-go (we ate in our car). Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    I am always on the look out for a new bakery to try. I have passed by JJ Bakery in Arcadia many times. Finally; I decided to stop by. The parking lot is spacious, but shared with other businesses. The place was cleanThe service was fast and the staff was nice. By the time we went there which was approaching their closing time, they had run out of a few items. There were still plenty of options to choose from. I was pleased with the selection of items I chose. Next visit, I will try to stop by earlier to try even more pastries.

    Double sesame pastry. Soooo yummy!
    Wendy G.

    This holiday season, some ladies will be excited to say "He went to Jared!" but I'm just as stoked to report that "He went to JJs!" The black + white sesame pastry is so darn good, and there's nothing like it that I've found in SD. Not too sweet, flaky and bursting with big sesame flavor. So thank you to my special someone for thinking of me during your LA trip and making my Christmas pastry dream come true!

    Bread and pastry always fresh. I wish they make cheese bread similar to Little Swan bakery Place always clean and welcoming

    Nice place. Cute cakes..so pretty. I would come here again if I am in the area. It has good drinks and lovely delicious cakes. I think this place overall has yummy goodies. Service is fine but I had a communication issue. Not sure if my English translates to their understanding.

    Do I need to refrigerate the cup cake if I can't eat in few days?

    Hello Sharon, indeed, it is recommended to store the Hokkaido Cupcake in the refrigerator.

    Do you guys sell 花生奶油麵包?

    Why don't they sell Portugal egg tarts?

    I avoided this place since it opened because the lines were ridiculously long and I wasn't in a…read morerush to wait an hour for ramen. Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

We stopped by to try their Dine LA deal, which was $65 for a dinner set that included a choice of two appetizers, entrées, drinks, and desserts. The interior featured light wooden accents and honeycomb-style seating that created a cozy ambiance. Service was efficient, and our server was kind and attentive throughout the meal. **Yakitori Platter: 2/5** Unfortunately, the meats were dry and overcooked, while the skewers lacked the signature charred, smoky flavor I typically look for in yakitori. **Crispy Sweet Chili Wings: 2/5** Tossed in a sticky, sweet and spicy glaze, the wings were pleasantly crispy, though an unusual, artificial aftertaste made them difficult to enjoy. **Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: 5/5** This was everything I look for in a good bowl of ramen. The broth was creamy with a bold kick of spice, and the noodles tasted fresh with a satisfying chew. A jammy soft-boiled egg and tender slices of chashu pork made for the perfect finishing touches, with corn adding a subtle sweetness that balanced the richness of the broth. **Tonkatsu Omurice: 2.5/5** A popular Japanese comfort dish, Kyuramen's omurice was paired with a side of crispy tonkatsu. The omelet was incredibly fluffy with a soft, silky texture, but both the chicken fried rice and demi-glace were rather bland and lacking in depth. **Thai Iced Tea: 3.5/5** Fairly standard as far as Thai iced tea goes, this version was smooth with distinct notes of vanilla, warm spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. **Amazing Lemonade: 4/5** Bright and refreshing, the lemonade also had a hint of cucumber that softened its tartness. **Matcha Pudding with Red Bean: 4/5** Velvety with a custard-like consistency, the pudding had a pronounced matcha presence and was served with fresh milk on the side. The red bean complemented the earthy bitterness of the matcha. **Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly: 2/5** This dessert was visually stunning, with edible sakura flowers suspended inside and crystal boba adding a firm, slightly crunchy contrast to its bouncy texture. While the jelly itself was muted in flavor, the accompanying syrup intensified the floral profile, which ultimately became too strong for my taste. Although Kyuramen had its highlights, several dishes fell short in terms of execution. The Dine LA set was a good opportunity to sample a variety of offerings, but I'd stick to just the ramen on a future visit.

Kinda makes me think, "Is this where all the cool kids go?" said by: definitely not a cool kid me. My gal friend and I always want dessert and believe life is always better with sweets. It was around 9 pm already, and of course, we wanted something sweet to end our day. The plaza on Duarte Rd is pretty dark, but 626 Ice Cream was the bright corner filled with tons of people in line, even at 9 pm. They have their posted in a few spots in the line so customers can check out the flavors. My friend was happy there is something non-dairy for her, which was the Mango Sago flavor. They seem to change up their ice cream flavors every now and then I noticed, which is so fun! It was our first time here, and the man who helped us was very sweet in letting me try all the 6 flavors and pick my favorite. I ended up with their Cereal Ice Cream flavor which tasted like a childhood milk & cereal breakfast, the sweet milk you drink after you finished your cereal. I thought "wow!" This was totally it and I fell in love with it. I also want to mention their Yakult flavor was amazing as well; it's the perfect tartness I love in Yakult drinks and had just a teeny bit of sweetness to it. It's great for those friends you may have in your life who just want a little bit of sweetness. Their toppings are so fun, and I would just go back for their toppings to be honest. I asked the team member to choose my toppings for me, you get 3 toppings if you get the mini cup size. So I got red bean, cacao nibs, and mochi. I would come back to eat this combination over and over again. My friend got a Mango Sago flavor, it's non-dairy, with Mochi and Fruit. She loved it as well and I got to try some of it - it packs a punch in mango flavor and is soooo good with their mochi! There is cozy seating inside, or you can totally be a cool kid and pick up one of those stools outside and sit in the parking lot. So nostaligic almost like a backyard party. Thank you 626 Ice Cream for existing and being in the neighborhood! I'll definitely come support more often!

It comes with: 4pc kinako, 4pc matcha, 4pc black sesame. I can eat all of this in one sitting during my current pregnancy, but it's also nice to share once in awhile. You know it's fresh because I believe they only make 100 pieces of each flavor each day and are done selling once they've sold out for the day. In terms of service, the couple who runs the place take their time but are quite thorough. The kitchen looks clean, which is a plus, but this place is best for takeout; otherwise, you can eat inside the mall food court.
