Stopped by to get some pastries for family. Parking is in the back with one way in. I would say it's moderately inconvenience. Walked in and looked around, they only have handful of pastries to choose from. I bought their moon cake gift box for $25, which comes with 4 small pieces. It was an unexpected stop and I had no time to go to other places so I had no choice but to buy it. Employee are nice but due to over priced items and limited selection, I would probably not come back.
The hours are wrong on yelp. They close at 530pm daily and completely closed on Tuesdays. There is a small lot in the back of this small bakery. Then there is even more parking behind that lot from the plaza. I love their egg tarts and thats what I went to buy. They had different crusts so I got a flakey one and a not flakey one for their custard egg tarts. They also had some po tat, but theyre not my favorite. The ladies are nice and they also accept cash apps like venmo as a source of payment. I went on a Thursday afternoon and the vibe was quiet and chill. The ladies were really nice and welcoming. They also had other type of baked goods such as bread, cakes, and other Asian type pastries. I will be back!
Delicious egg tarts done 3 ways. Park on the street or behind via Abbott Street. Service is quick as everything is grab and go.
Every year, I tell my sweet wife to get me a buttercream cake, and every year, she gets some variation of a butter cake. Basically, my wife got a cake that she would like. She asked for it not to be too sweet. I can't really complain too much, as it's my wife's fault, not the bakery's. However, it didn't taste like a buttercream cake regardless. I would not be in a rush to come back here for a birthday cake as a Susie Cake's Birthday Cake is about the same price. I will have to get myself a birthday cake myself next year.
One of the OG bakeries in SGV, and they been at this location for so many years. They have a good selection of delicious Asian bakery items; my favorite classic here are their classic green onion buns, pineapple buns and sponge cakes. They also have some very pretty Asian cakes. I love coming here whenever I'm in the area. The staff are nice, and it's fun to practice using my Cantonese here. The only thing I didn't like is the pricing; it truly went up so my favorite pastries aren't the same price as before.
Love this bakery, located right across the street on Valley Blvd. The best thing here is their egg tarts!! Those are super good, made fresh daily and the crust is so buttery, golden and flaky!! Other items I tried and really like are the chicken pie, pineapple bun, butter cookies, and cream puffs. Parking is non-existent so you'd have to park at the Ranch 99 lot, unless you can find street parking. I just walk here since it's more convenient.
Excellent bakery. Customer service is top-notch. The pineapple bun with butter is incredibly tasty. The options are so varied. Service is fast and courteous. Definitely will be back for more pineapple bun with butter if I am ever in the area again.
On a Saturday morning in late April. I stopped by to buy mini chicken pies and coconut stuffed bread since I was in the area. It wasn't too crowded at all. Inside space is small and carries cute egg roll boxes, individual bagged breads, gift ideas, cakes, and hot pastries. Very good service and the ladies speak English.
I am a big fan of Portuguese egg tarts because of the flaky crust and rich egg custard. This was hands down one of my favorite egg tart I tried. The crust was flaky and wasn't powdery/dry compare to other egg tarts. The custard was rich with a hint of sweetness to it. I went near closing so there were limited items but I can't wait to come back during opening/early afternoon.
Growing up in Hong Kong, Kee Wah Bakery was a household name. I remember eating lots of their cakes and baked bread as a kid. Every time I'm in Los Angeles, I always try to pick up a few items before heading back to Sacramento. I really enjoy their handmade cookies, black sesame eggrolls (wafer rolls), and mango short cake. The hard part is not buying too much! The older ladies that work there are always friendly and chatty. Reminded me so much of Hong Kong! Parking can be tricky and limted in this area. I usually stay at Hilton San Gabriel across the street and walk over.
This is a tiny store packed with a lot of goodies. I always enjoy their handmade almond cookies and red bean swirl bun. Inside the store is well-lighted, with regular noise level, breads and pastries are neatly arranged, but the aisles are tight, you can't walk freely in case you bump into another customer or the food items. There is no dine-in section, this is purely a to-go store. You pick up a tray and select your pastries then pay up front.
Was in the area visiting for some work happened to be staying at a hotel across the road.....and got really excited when I first arrived and noticed this Kee Wah Bakery directly across the road! For me, I had always known Kee Wah for their moon cakes and that's it, but I heard that they made fresh egg tarts too, so there was no way I was going to pass up a good egg tart! And as luck would have it, they had three kinds! There was their Signature Egg Tarts, Portuguese Egg Tarts, and their Kee Wah Original Egg Tarts. The difference between the three are that the Signature egg tarts have a flaky crust and the Original egg tarts have more of a crusty cookie shellt. As for the egg fillings, both the Signature and Original have a glassy smooth finish, whereas the Portuguese egg tarts have a scorched carmelized finish. All equally yummy, all equally freshly baked hot, all so hard to stop eating! I thought these egg tarts were a bit sweeter than I prefer, so it really depends on your own individual preference. As for the store, the place looked really fun.....like a toy store with very colorful goodies surrounding you....everything was so tempting, but I tried hard to stay focused on what I came here for.....Egg Tarts! Very happy I got to come here today to try one of my all time favorite desserts.
04/19/26 Sunday Came in the morning around 9:30 AM to grab some egg tarts and small birthday cake (taro). We ended up getting the 3 signature flaky skin egg tarts and 3 original cookie skin egg tarts to get the 6 count deal. We enjoyed the signature egg tarts. The original egg tarts were a little on the hard side. Also, the custard was cracked on the signature egg tarts. The tarts were pretty big. We also asked for recommendations and ended up getting a Chicken Pie and Curry Pie. Friendly staff. Packaging is cute, especially for the small birthday cake. Inside was very spacious with a big assortment of baked goods. Street parking only. read more
The place is small but they have a nice variety of fresh pastries tasty to order as well as a large variety of cute prepackaged desserts and items which make nice gifting options. The staff was busy but helpful and made time to answer questions. There's a small parking lot in the back with security making sure you are visiting only the businesses on this lot. There's also limited front street parking. read more

The ladies are always nice when I visit and everything is good. I really like the curry bun, baked cha siu bao and pineapple custard buns especially. I've gotten the tins of shortbread cookies with various animals as gifts for my mom before. They're so cute. Had the best mooncake of my life here. Pretty expensive, I think it was $6 and was only about 3 bites! But wow, was it good and an adorable panda shape. It was strawberry yogurt filled. Perfect mini size as a small gift or to try various types. read more
KEE WAH BAKERY is a cute little bakery found in a large shopping center on the northeast corner of Garvey and Atlantic. We didn't come to this center for the bakery, but while walking past, it seemed like the perfect place to buy our niangao ("tikoy" for the Flips) since everything looked so festive in here. Good thing we did too. They had a lot of different traditional New Year treats in here... AND they were packaged for Year of the Rabbit New Year celebrations! They also had these butter panda cookies that were sooo good. The niangao, btw, was perfect! Just the way remember from my childhood. Parking in the center on Lunar NYE was insane. On a side note, condolences to the families and communities affected by the fatal mass shooting on the eve of the Lunar New Year. read more

Jim's closed today. Came here around 2:30pm and all their breads were sold out. We got curry puff and bbq pork pastries. The crust is perfection. It's flakey and buttery and everything good. Their fillings need more flavor. That is all. read more

Cute little bakery with lots of fun snacks! I went about 2ish weeks ago to get mooncakes for mid autumn moon festival and was not disappointed! Got a mini lotus moon cake with one yolk and pineapple bread with custard and they were both so yummy! Not too sweet and just a bit salty Service was quick! I was in and out fast! will come back when I'm craving moon cake again! read more
Tiny bakery with lots of cute desserts and even cuter packaging. So many reviews raving about this place that I feel bad giving it one star. I came in half hour before closing and while their packaged sweets looked adorable, their fresh baked goods honestly looked a little sad. That should've been my out but I had a long day of running errands, its raining, I didn't want to make another stop. I just wanted to treat myself to something sweet as a little pick me up. I ended up purchasing a small Napoleon cake. Got home and couldn't wait to try a piece. IT WAS SO DISAPPOINTING !! Nothing but a dry sponge cake with NO frosting in between and some wafers to give it a little texture. After the first bite I thought to myself this can't be right. So I gave it another shot and got a spoonful right in the middle. Same thing. The layers were all so dry and lacked the buttery richness I expected. In the trash it went. Won't be coming back to try other items. read more

Last thrusday, we ordered a black forest 8 inch cake by phone and said we will pick it up on Saturday 11/4. At that morning, we did call again and ask for opening hours and tell them we will pick it up around 5pm. We show up at 5, and then... THEY TOLD US THEY GAVE OUR CAKE TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER BY ACCIDENT!!! I was like wth?? Are you serious?? This cake is for 2 people birthday and both of them love black forest cake! We would like to suprise them but Kee Wah staff ruin everything and they can't solve the problem and dont even act like its their fault too. End up we went to Sunny barkey which is the closer barkey shop to get a chocolate cake instead. Lucky they still have chocolate cake even it's not a black forest. read more

We went here recently and the service was actually unbelievable. We stood waiting to be helped while there were 2 ladies working. One of them standing at the counter chatting with a customer while looking at things on the customers phone. The second employee was helping then ringing up a customer who had a large order - slowly separating items and repacking them into different and separate boxes & bags. We stood behind this customer waiting to be helped as next in line. It took an unusually long time which was fine but as soon as the employee was free she called the customer that arrived after us that was standing in the middle of the store...we were flabbergasted. Meanwhile the other employee is STILL talking to the customer looking at stuff on her phone... Insanely unprofessional and disrespectful behaviour. My husband wanted to leave but I didn't want to create sour vibes since we were with my mom. An extra star because the baked goods are yummy but we will never be back to this location. read more
I never heard of Kee Wah before and only stopped by out of curiosity. Little did I know, their Bolo breads would become the best I've had in the States! I highly recommend the Bolo with milk powder fill. You get the delicious crust on a fluffy bread with this delicious filling. I don't really know how to describe the filling besides it being pasty (which makes it sound gross, but that's the furthest from the truth). Their version had a strong vanilla flavor that I've never noticed from other bakeries. Another popular item is their Bolo bread with butter. This is hard to eat by yourself because it's just a giant slab of butter in the middle. But the warm bread contrasting with the cold butter is so good. Just share with a friend! There was a slight language barrier and she charged me for two items when I only ordered one. I let her know the mistake and she refunded me, no hassle. Glad to know that they have multiple locations! Makes for a great quick and easy breakfast when you're on the go. read more

First time here to buy mooncake They are the only one that sell mix nuts & ham mooncake which I love. The store front is very small, filled with all their products, not much room to move around. I bought 2 of the mooncake together with a bag of crispy egg rolls with cashews nuts ( which is imported from China) probably not make fresh there, not sure of the moon cakes either, I cut one of the mooncake after eating it I found something looks like a string of thread kind of hard (see the pic below) After paying $16 each I expect the best. That's why I gave them 3 stars read more

Whenever I visit SGV I come here just for the egg tarts. The crust is flaky and the egg tart is so soft. Price is fair. Great value! read more
Came here around noon on Sunday, a few days before autumn festival day and OMG that line is so long. Not only is it long, it was very slow moving as well. I wanted some pastries for breakfast, so I stayed in line. I got a crispy egg tart, Portuguese egg tart, pineapple bun, bbq pork pie, and curry pork pie. Crispy egg tart 3/5: it was okay. The crust wasn't what I expected and the egg tart wasn't eggy enough for me. Portuguese egg tart 5/5: this was so good. I only wished I ordered more! The crust was flaky and the egg was the right sweetness and I love the caramelization on top. Pineapple bun 3/5: it was pretty decent. If it was a little airier then it would be even better. Bbq pork pie 5/5: the crust was very flaky and crispy. So good! The bbq pork had just enough flavor. If only there was a little more sauce to give it the savoriness it would be even better but if it was the crust may not be as flaky and crispy. Curry pork pie 4/5: crust was harder and less flaky then the bbq pork pie, but it had a good curry flavor and very filling and great for a lunch pastry. read more

Came in on a weekday afternoon to purchase pastries and some of their famous egg tarts and pineapple buns. The store only had 1 other customer in there at the time and things started off well with the pleasant employee. However things took a turn for the worse when the store manager became involved. She seemed annoyed that I was speaking in English and had a really bad attitude when I asked her any questions about the pastries. For example, since I was also making a HK milk tea purchase, I asked about the milk tea& pineapple bun promotional poster ad outside. She quickly shot me down and said that it has butter inside but is NOT a pineapple bun, and doesn't qualify. Excuse me, but I've ordered that last year and it was clearly a pineapple bun with the addition of butter! I was spending about $50 in pastries, and this lady was annoyed that I was asking about a money saving combo. I was shocked that she was so rude about it! The milk tea was super watered down by the way, so such a disappointment and I can't recommend wasting money on that. Additionally, the kind employee there told her that because I purchased so much, that she included a broken egg tart for me as a gesture of goodwill. The manager lady was obviously irritated and annoyed by that, based on her nasty snickering and attitude. And if that wasn't enough, after I finished paying for everything and they were still bundling up my purchases at the counter, the manager told the worker in Mandarin to make sure I grabbed the appropriate bags and not any of the pastries lying out on the counter. Can you believe the nerve? She was speaking to me in English the entire time, then switched over to Chinese, assuming that I would steal! This lady needs a serious attitude adjustment and overhaul. I feel bad for the employees there, and felt incredibly discriminated against for not being a native chinese speaker. It's obvious that she only caters to her demographic. Just shameful. Pastries unfortunately were just OK. Nothing special, but the trauma of the experience ensures I won't step foot in here again. read more
Didn't realize they have one in San Gabriel Valley which I was excited to see since I had it in Hong Kong. I got the classics like egg tart, char Siu pork bun and pineapple bun. All good, slightly pricy but cute store where it was fully stocked. read more
