    Kamalan is my go to bakery whenever I'm in Chinatown. I like their selection of pastries the best. The prices are affordable too! I love to get their danishes and pineapple cake. Their sweet pastries have just the right amount of sugar before they get too overwhelming... coming from someone who prefers savory pastries. I am also a fan of their cakes! The mango cake is my favorite... very visually appealing!

    Got some of their pastries through Wee and wow, they did not disappoint. Arrived fresh and I love their pork floss bun. It has the right amount of cream inside the bun, well balance of creaminess, salty and sweet.

    Great service and delicious baked goods! We got there right when they opened and the staff walked us through all of the options! Would definitely come back. My favorite was the mango cream cheese bread and the bamboo charcoal taro soft bread.

    This bakery has really good birthday cakes and other pastries, such as bread, cookies, pies, and cakes. This is the only place where I want to buy birthday cakes, because their birthday cakes taste so delicious and are just perfect. They have many choices of birthday cake styles and sizes. The service is alright. The staff lacks interpersonal communication skills, such as greeting customers, and they don't seem that friendly to customers. If you want a delicious pastry or birthday cake, then I would highly recommend this bakery for you.

    Fresh Mango Birthday Cake

    I've loved baled goods at Kamalan previously, but never given a try with their birthday cakes. So glad I did yesterday! The bakery was so accommodating for me to order at 10 AM for a pickup at 1 PM. The pictures of the fresh mango cake caught my eyes, so I went with that as a 10" calke for a party of 15 people -- and that was a lot! I'd recommend going for 8" for 15 people the next time. The cake was good -- the mango was tart and sweet, so so fresh! The frosting is not too sweet either, which is a great Asian compliment! The only thing I would say as needs improvement is some layers of the sheet cake was dry on the outer edges, so maybe a little overbaked? Overall, I would order this again, and would love to try their Pandan Durian flavor!

    One of my go to bakeries for cake on any occasion. Super easy to order by phone and pick up is a breeze. A plus for accepting credit cards. You cannot go wrong with the Pandan or Mango cake. The cake itself is light and airy and not overly sweet. The fruit is always fresh.

    One of my Houston friends posted about this bakery on social media so I took note. This past weekend, we visited from San Antonio so I had to stop by to check it out. I bought some for my Dad, my husband and myself and some to share with neighbors and other family. I bought a custard bun, bacon cheese bun, pork sung bun, Danish BBQ bun, Danish coconut bun, several mango cream cheese, several coconut pineapple cake, small sausage bun and ham cheese bun. What I tried so far is so fresh and soft. There were other refrigerated items which I wished I could've brought home but next time. It's next to Jungle Cafe so go check it out!

    Kamalan Bakery was operating during CoVid19 lockdown back in June 2020. So many signs posted on the windows.

    Kudos to 葛瑪蘭面包坊 Kamalan Bakery for moving from Welfresh Supermarket in Sugar Land as a in-house bakery to independent restaurant in Houston Chinatown over 5 years ago. Since it moved to near my house, I get to eat more freshly baked breads with creative ingredients. There are plenty of parking at Dun Huang Plaza. I normal park in the garage and walk pass to Chase Bank to get some cash first. Then stop in for breads. I don't really have favorites when it comes to Taiwanese bread and pastry. I missed breads from Olympic Chinese Bakery, though. Kalaman Bakery is the best alternative. Others like 85C and Six Ping Bakery just can't compete.

    I heard that this spot has the best bread from my Taiwanese cousin...and the quality is truly on point. Kamalan is an Asian bakery that has Vietnamese/Taiwanese influences. I mean where else can you get pandan flavored breads or those small taro flaky swirl delicacies? My favorite breads to get are the savory flaky tuna triangle bread, small flaky swirl spheres (I've had the matcha and the taro and both are delicious), and the simple sweet butter bread. They have a bunch of other items that I would love to get--like their pandan puff cake thing, but there's almonds on it so my nut-allergy Yelpers beware! Everything is truly so fresh and of good quality. Of all the Asian bakeries I've tried here, Kamalan has the highest quality for sure...and the price isn't even that much of a difference. I would definitely choose Kamalan and Six Ping over 85c because of the small business/small batch support and honestly...the prices and quality for it! Come to Kamalan and get your shop on. They also limit the number of people inside their tiny bakery with Covid so that's a plus. Service has always been very efficient, fast and friendly. Shoutout to the sweet Latinx gal who works the cashier station every time I visit. She's dope! Pro Tip: Credit is only with totals of $10 or more, so usually that's about five breads. I have zero problem hitting that total every time I visit.

    I wish I lived in Houston just for this bakery! My friends and I taste-tested a few baked goods from here, and all of them were a hit. Not only was the bread itself soft and fluffy, but the various fillings -- we tried red bean and taro -- were also very flavorful (not to mention, packed to the brim). Must-orders: Black Sesame Taro Bread, Sesame Red Bean Bun, Pork Sung Bun

    Very avg run of the mill Chinese bakery. Probably slightly less than 85deg or Six Ping...but just slightly. The cashier lady was super sweet and friendly (which is not always the case in some of the others I've been to). Decent spread, not vast. The actual baked goods were fresh and tasty as always. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here because pretty much every plaza on Bellaire blv has 2 or 3 of these types of places. Just pick any. Final Grade: B+ If I'm ever around this plaza, I might stop by.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

I ended up paying for fast passes (they do release free fast passes, but those get scooped up quickly, and I was able to pay $3 per ticket on eventbrite to snag fast passes). Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.
