Wedding voucher
Karen L.

This review is purely for the wedding vouchers we bought here, which work in the U.S., Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau at the time of writing this. The staff was very nice and it kind like they were open at 9:15 - 9:30 rather than the 10am posted on social. They got us what we need in an efficient manner and the store is very organized. By the way, they also sell gift cards and actual cards here if you need a quick gift pick up, as well as the usual wedding favor pastries. Definitely a good place to have around here for your Chinese wedding needs!

Pastries and Asian Bread. They sell an assortment! There are a lot of Asian bakeries to choose from and what made me come here was the chicken pie and the bbq pork pie. It's not bad, flaky, buttery, but more style over substance. At $3.40 it is on the higher end so I expected more. I grabbed the hot dog bun, and I guess I am spoiled but that was not that great. I didn't like the dough as much as I thought. The Walnut Cake, although pretty looking the cake felt a little dry. Overall, I am glad to have tried it at least once. Pick and choose at your own discretion.

This is your pretty standard neighborhood bakery. Nothing noteworthy with their prices, quality of food, etc. I got their bbq pork bun and curry pork pie, and I thought they were fine. Service was pretty speedy, and there was no one when I entered. Wouldn't rush back, but good to know my options.

Humongous bakery with so many options to choose from. They have both fresh pastries and packaged goods that are great for gifting. The interior is well decorated and there is so much to explore. They do not accept credit card for small orders and take Venmo or Zelle instead. The pastries all tasted yummy and are very affordable, of overpriced at all.

Boris C.

The staff are helpful in letting us know the different kinds of cakes there are. The place smells really nice. There's light background music and an exciting atmosphere of peeps waiting in line for their drinks.

Wow sooo buttery and delicious flakyness!! It definitely feels very fattening to be eating their pastries but man they taste GOOD!! My favorites are the Chicken pie, Curry Pork pie, and BBQ pork pies. They are a bit pricey at $3.40 each but soooo delicious!!! It's cute inside and decorated well according to the season. Parking on the street/no where to eat.

This was a small hold in the wall bakery that had an extensive menu of baked goods and even boxed gifts to buy. They have lots of drinks that they offer from milk tea to coffees. I personally got a milk tea and an egg tart for a small treat and the cashier was very nice. The baked goods was solid but it could be better in my opinion. The inside had a couple seats if you wanted to eat there or most of the time people came for take out to eat at home. The ambiance was very chill.

I wish it opens at 730 so I can buy goodies before going to work Prices have gone up Chicken pie $3.40+ tax= $3.70. Almost $4 for each puff is expensive but the taste is also quite good too. Very friendly staff Not sure why they got low health score since no one can sit down and eat inside.

Very good Hong Kong bakery with all the classics, I love their custard cocktail bun especially and their traditional egg tarts, cookie crust of course. They have a new menu offering some hot cooked items like HK style pineapple bun with butter or HK style french toast with a milk tea or coffee pairing inspired by HK afternoon tea culture. Their cakes are a step above here, the only Chinese bakery I know to offer Yule Logs, and they regularly stock chestnut cake ready to go whereas its usually a special order item ahead of time at other bakeries. Definitely give them a try!

Signature Crispy Egg Tart
Linda L.

Definitely lucky to have this place a few min away to pick up pastries for breakfast. My favorites are the green onion bun & cream buns. Whenever I'm visiting my mom, I'll grab some different Dan ta (egg tarts) too. Their crispy ones are perfection! I was pleasantly surprised this visit to find such a huge selection of moon cakes for the upcoming 中秋节. They have more variety and their own brands from amazing packaging & flavors to pick from. Just the different gorgeous boxes around the cafe was very festive looking. It's the first time I actually shopped other than for pastries & found some cute kitchen towels too. I had some help from the aunties picking up a nice traditional golden to lotus with yolk box to give my mom. Very happy I saw these before scrambling to a supermarket and getting overwhelmed last minute again

Not made with real espresso. They didn't use machine. Went to the back and prob mixed a ready made powder. You see powder floating around?

Things sure have changed since the days I used to come by years ago. I rarely come to this location as i have closer ones to me. Nothing beats the original locations in Monterey Park and San Gabriel. Stopped by this place as i passed by. At first I was still happy as this location had an espresso bar/machine. So decided to get myself a Vietnamese coffee this time. The lady got a cup of ice and went to the back when the espresso machine was just behind the cashier in front of me. Why did she go to the back to get the coffee? I thought maybe they made a bunch ahead of time and kept in fridge since i got it iced? As i drank it, it tasted very familiar to me. Looked inside to see white powder floating on top then the resemblance kicked in. I went straight home to do a taste test to make sure and it is exactly like the premade 3 in 1 powder i get from the supermarket as my work stash when in need a quick cup of joe. I did not pay $4.25 to be mislead that it was fresh espresso with a machine there just so they can go to the back and mix me a G7 3in1 powder packet. I have a pic to show what it tastes exactly like, so you can be the judge next time if i am incorrect. If this is true, I hope they know that people can tell and this is not good practice and if incorrect, then why is there an espresso machine there and not used and the employee went to the back for? Still doesn't make sense to me. This location is almost much smaller with more limited selections compared to the other locations now then when it first opened. The employees at the other locations are always more welcoming also. This location was also welcoming when it first opened but things sure have changed. I came by a few weeks ago also and the lady was rude. I pressed, "i wanted a receipt" on touch pad and lady yelled at me saying "i already pressed it already why did you press it again?!"Well...how was i supposed to know when there was an option on the machine lady? She needed a chill pill. Forgot to mention one more shady thing. The last time I was here, my credit card showed they charged me 2x. They re ran my credit card the next day of the same amount. Not cool. Never coming to this location again.

$7.75 for a pork bun and a viet iced coffee. What a deal! Great spot to grab a quick bite or have breakfast on the go. I could buy a few pastries and prep breakfast for the week! Super awesome place, definitely a 626 must try.

I was a little scared to shop at this bakery, as I was in a totally different world of baking, and did not have my wife to rely on speaking Cantonese to bail me out. Fortunately, food is a universal language, and with coupon in hand, I received my BOGO Spam/egg Bolo without saying a word! There were displays of custard tarts and familiar dessert served on dim sum carts, but my purpose to gain a free Bolo was achieved. I would recommend that anyone gravitating towards pastries or sundries try this convenient store and deli, rather than going to Monterey Park or Chinatown.

When will they have mooncakes in stock again?

They only have them once a year for the Moon Festival. So they probably won't have them again until August 2021.

Are the egg tarts vegetarian? Does the crust have lard?

Street parking can be tough during peak hours, but there are public lots nearby.  For the past 12 years, this has been our go-to spot, and their Guava Cake is the ultimate family favorite! This past Mother's Day, Mom wanted that exact cake. We stopped by in the morning to pick one up as usual. However, the lady at the counter informed us they would not have any ready until 2 PM and was quite dismissive and short with us. I was next in line, it was now the second person at the counter helping me, ( male ) once he knew I was looking for a guava cake, he immediately went to the back going out of his way to check and ensure we took a fresh guava cake home right then and there. He saved Mother's Day !!! I must also mention Danny and Lissette are amazing every time we order cakes for family events. It's always a great experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for their goodies.

I ordered the chocolate ganache cake for Mother's Day based on the chocolate ganache cake I ordered…read morea few years ago from them for my Grandmother's Birthday. Something clearly changed between then and now because the version I ordered on Saturday was horrible. The cake was mostly dark chocolate, as described, but it had the thinnest layer of raspberry to the point where it was hardly noticeable - which is the main reason we ordered the cake (chocolatey but a fair amount of raspberry for a palatable contrast). The way the cake is made, it's hardly edible. The layer that is supposed to be chocolate cream is clearly just chocolate frosting! I've never had something so inedible. Plus the cake has non-edible decorations on it unbeknownst to us....on sight we assumed they were edible sugar crystals but they were not! Someone could've gotten hurt! We should've at least been forewarned! Lastly, we were scheduled to pick the cake up on Saturday afternoon at a specific time. And of course they were busy due to Mother's Day weekend but we stood in line for at least 15 minutes and received no help! The woman behind the register was counting out both registers without offering an explanation or speaking to any of the customers! Plus there were at least 5 employees standing around doing nothing! No one ever asked if anyone in line were here to just pick up a prepaid order. You don't need the register for that! We finally inquired what was going on and stated we had an appointment to pick up a prepaid order. A young woman employee caught an attitude but hustled our order which hadn't been boxed or bagged though it was past our pickup time. Very disappointed in Merengue. Not one employee offered an apology or an explanation. Just attitude and nonchalance. I work in retail and know how hard and frustrating it can be but this is a service industry and customer service is very important. I'm not asking for anyone to jump through hoops just respect as a customer. The terrible part is my mother was the one waiting patiently in line for 15 minutes and I had to jump in to ask the staff about their service because my mom and these other ladies were being ignored by Merengue's staff as though they weren't standing there. I DID NOT appreciate the treatment of my mother or myself once I spoke up about the crazy wait. No one treats my mom like she's just part of the furniture especially after we've spent money at this establishment. They certainly weren't giving anything away. My mom and the other ladies were being patient and nice. But I had to get to work and the cake was supposed to be picked up and out the door at 2pm....it was 230! It should've been waiting for us and the staff should've been inquiring with the line about prepaid orders. Instead there were 5 people standing behind the counter doing nothing while a line of people are wondering what's going on! I will not be ordering from Merengue again and will be taking my business down the street to the Paris Baguette Bakery where I should've gone in the first place.

It's fun here cuz you can get a little shopping cart and collect your breads. Kinda went crazy and got a bunch to try. The breads looked like they would be dry but weren't and were all really soft, pillowy, and fluffy. The Black Forest bread was topped with toasted almonds, had jiggly thick sweet custard, and a layer of semi sweet chocolate. The hades bread was the only kinda dry bread and was filled with bittersweet chocolate and had a thin sweet Oreo crust on the bottom like a cheesecake would. The pork floss bread had a swirl of sweet savory pork floss and was topped with nutty crunchy sesame seeds. The banana cream bread was filled with like this cheesecake tasting light cream and had some real bananas inside too. The garlic bread was really good, soft, and had a streak of yummy, savory, garlicy, cheesy goodness. They even had a cilantro pork floss cake?! Wasn't getting any cilantro flaves but the cake was nicely spongy, light, vanillay, and had a swirl of pork floss that actually worked with it. Their black sesame cake was also very spongy, jiggly, light, and airy with good black sesame flaves. They even let you try some free samples of bread which my grandma really enjoyed. Overall this place is pretty good. Black Forest $4.50 Hades $6 Pork floss $5 Banana cream $4.50 Garlic bread $4.50 Cilantro pork floss sponge $5 Black sesame sponge $3.75

The pastry case was delightful n organized. I took photos of the ones I bought. Apparently, the lady at the counter has very limited English skills, friendly enough but could really use some upgrade in her customer service skills. I value customer service a great deal--that's how I become a regular patron. Thankfully there are other Duke Bakery locations to visit if the pastries happen to strike my fancy. There are about 3 sets of seating (tables with chairs & cushioned booth type to enjoy your treats. No outdoor seating available. Parking is shared among other businesses, so it can get hairy at peak times In this shop, there 3 different vendors, not just Duke's, there's a noodle shop to the right (if facing the counter) a smoothie shop in the middle & Duke's on the left. The pastry shelves encompass the majority of the space. The jury is still out re: pastry taste, bought some for friends.

Instead, the vest the dog was wearing stated "Best Friend" almost like the owner was trying to trick others into thinking it was a "Service Dog" vest. The dog was walking around the bread and even sniffing the bread. The owner saw and even tried to swat her dog away from some Strawberry Halfmoons that the dog was sniffing. As someone who is allergic to dogs, what if they are the person who touches that bread next? What if the allergy is very severe? I walked around the premises to check if there were signs on the windows/doors talking about no pets, only service dogs. Only one entrance had the signs stating this. The other doors did not. As someone who is allergic to dogs, I do not understand how someone can just bring their pet into an establishment that serves food. The dog even went up to some customers and was sniffing their shoes. I even watched the dog go up to a little girl and try to take her doll. **4/1/26 UPDATE** To Katherine (the business owner): Yes, I know you allow SERVICE DOGS. However, this lady's dog was not wearing a vest stating it was a service dog. Also, I think service dogs know better than to try stealing little girls' dolls. That lady's dog was NOT a service dog. She was trying to TRICK people into thinking it was with the FAKE vest it was wearing. Please put more signs up around the different entrance doors.

I wanted to buy some cream puffs, but as I went to grab them, I felt that the refrigerator temperature was not much colder than the room temperature. Worried about the quality of the products in such heat, I decided not to buy them. The temperature is quite concerning, as many breads contain meat and butter, which can easily go bad in such conditions. The breads with cream and chocolate, such as coconut cream, oreo choco bun, and dirty bun all looked very melted... I typically enjoy their breads, especially the bolo milk butter, but the extreme heat in the store recently has caused me to question if the bread is still okay to eat... Hopefully this will be fixed soon, as summer heat will cause the temperature in store to be even higher
