    Phu's Bakery has been on my to-visit list for a while now. Finally, I have arrived. Got here about one hour or so before closing time on a late Saturday afternoon. I was super surprised they no longer allow customers inside their bakery. All orders are done at the front door entrance that has been plastered with clear thick plastic. I had to view the pastries and baked goods through the window from the outside which wasn't an issue for me. Items are labeled with name and price. Good variety of selections. Prices are very affordable. Unfortunately, the one item I came here to get was all gone for the day. No more egg tarts. I was bummed, but no worries. I still got other stuff. I'll catch the egg tarts next time. I left with 6 items for a total of $12+ which wasn't bad at all. Everything was quite good except for the durian biscuit which didn't have the deep durian flavor I was looking for and sponge cake that was slightly dry. Coconut bun could use a bit more coconut. Taro bun had strong taro flavor and lots of it. Vegetable and pork bun was savory and filling. What stood out for me was the mantou... plain, but soft and bouncy with the perfect hint of sweetness... I loved it! 1. Coconut bun 2. Durian biscuit 3. Plain steamed bun (mantou) 4. Sponge cake 5. Steamed taro bun 6. Steamed vegetable and pork bun I'll be back for my egg tarts and more mantou!

    Portuguese egg tarts!!!

    This place continues to offer great Portuguese egg tarts. $2 for one now. I went to pick some up yesterday. It was so fresh. The egg was just so smooth. Not too sweet and not oily. They offered other items as well. Their bao/buns were also very fresh.. I came when they just finished with the baos. I got some pork & veggies ones & bbq pork. It was $2 for one as well. Pretty good. Note. Didn't get to browse the shop. Ordered at the door. Customer service was great. Telephone service was great Parking avail

    Parking: Super easy with plaza parking lot. Interior: They were taking orders at the door with menu posted outside. Wait Time: line was maybe 4-5ppl long so took a few minutes. Order was packed immediately so overall it's a quick pick up. Items Order: 9/10 Egg tarts $1.7 (2024)- Custard was bomb, not too sweet. It came fresh, hot, and shells were buttery. $20 min for card or they accept cash/zelle

    My goodness! I am in love with Phu's Bakery Portuguese egg tarts! It is really one of the best egg tarts I have ever tried. The crust is flaky and buttery. The custard is creamy, silky, light, and has the perfect texture When I got them, they were warm and very fresh. The first bite was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth. They were irresistible! I also tried hot dog bun without cheese. It was savory and fresh. Their durian biscuit was sweet and creamy. They don't allow entry to the store. You have to order from outside. The service was fast. The bakery is located at Vikon Center. There were plenty of parking spots shared with other businesses. Definitely,I will be back.

    Definitely a hidden gem I stumbled across a couple years ago. It's a small, walk-up style bakery, no dine-in, just a window where you place your order after checking out the display of baked goods. I've tried some of their breads, which were decent, but nothing too special. What really stands out here are the egg tarts. They're legit flaky, custardy , and honestly better than what I've had at a lot of dim sum spots. Whenever I'm heading to a party or visiting friends, I'll often grab a box to bring as a gift. Just a heads up they're pretty much cash only, so come prepared.

    $20 min credit card charge & $2 Portuguese egg tart. If you don't have cash, you better buy 10 egg tarts lol! The price is quite unbeatable and the egg tart itself is so flaky and warm. You must eat them while they're freshly out of the oven / bakery because they don't sit well after a while. I bought half a dozen so I could save one for the morning and it felt apart but I still ate it, it wasn't as good as when I had it fresh/warm. The bakery shop is old style and it's not for sitting down but they do have a parking lot. Service was fast.

    Phu's Bakery is a bakery in Rosemead known for their Portuguese Egg Tarts. They have other breads and baked goods as well; however, the egg tarts are what they're known for. When you come in, they don't let you inside and you order at the door. All of their baked goods are lined up in front of their window. Their popular tarts go for $2 each. I bought four and they were served hot. The pastries were flaky and the custard was pretty egg-forward. It's OK (3 stars) for me because I prefer the dessert with a little more sweetness. Being able to get hot and fresh Portuguese egg tarts is nice and, if you're looking for egg tarts, then you should check it out; however, their sweetness level isn't what I prefer.

    I've been searching for a local bakery specializing in egg tarts and other Chinese pastries, and my wife, who is a very picky eater when it comes to sweets, was impressed with the pineapple biscuit, wife cake, and egg tarts. Phu's Bakery is located in the Vikon Center, which is in the same plaza as Tantawan Thai Kitchen. It is to-go only. They accept cash, credit, and debit cards with a $20 minimum, as well as Zelle. Their Portuguese-style egg tarts are perfectly sweet and creamy with a flaky crust, reminding me of the ones we had in Macau. The Wife Cake is also nice and flaky with a sweet center, and I enjoyed the pineapple biscuit as well, but my favorite was the egg tarts and wife cake. Prices aren't listed, but for 2 egg tarts, pineapple biscuit, wedding cake, and red bean cake, our total was $11.25. We will definitely be back for more of their delicious cakes and pastries.

    Portuguese egg tarts

    The Portuguese egg tarts here are phenomenal. Flavorful, creamy custard filling with that seemingly home-baked flaky crust. They are substantially larger than some of the 1-bite budget egg tarts I've seen and superior in taste and texture. You can see what's available in the window display, and there's a menu posted in the window with prices. You place your order at the front, and the lady taking the orders was very nice. Note that the lady informed me that the order total must exceed $20 in order to use a credit card.

    One of my go to bakeries to buy egg tart! In the morning it's so warm and fresh. Since covid, they have not let customers into the store. Most breads are available on display. Some are in the back but written on the menu at the door. There is a curtain that you order and pick up from. Her cash register is still inside though haha so she runs back and forth. Bring cash as there is a $20 spend minimum for credit card use. We always get their egg tarts and it's become a famous shop for egg tarts in the SGV. So warm flaky custardy and slightly sweet. Custard is super eggy and there's nice color on the outside. Breads and buns are on par with the other Chinese bakeries and they do a great job with speciality traditional pastries and bakery products. The owner is running a business not a run club so she may seem a bit rude out front but it's just her RBF. Quick and efficient. There are also no public restroom!

    we have been coming here for years for our custard egg tarts, even though it's a little bit pricey it's definitely worth it. The Portuguese egg tarts here are absolutely delicious. normally whenever we have a family gathering, I always buy these lovely desserts after lunch to bring with me. today, I went early in the morning when they first opened and the egg tarts were still fresh and warm. They used to sell out earlier in the day, but I guess business has been great over the years that now, they continually keep baking egg tarts until they close. The lady is very nice at the door. She asks what you want and reconfirms before she charges you. Service is pretty quick. Doesn't take longer than 5 to 10 minutes when you're picking up your baked goods. as long as you purchase over $20-$25 you can use a credit card otherwise make sure you bring cash.

    Whenever I'm in the area, stopping by for their egg tarts is a must! They still operate "COVID-style," with orders taken outside the shop--which I don't mind at all since the service is quick and efficient. Just a heads-up: once items sell out for the day, they don't restock--so go early if you want the full selection! The egg tarts are incredibly well made and still taste amazing the next day after a quick reheat in the air fryer. Their pineapple buns are also a favorite, but they were sold out during my last visit. If you're ever nearby, definitely check out this gem of a bakery!

    On our egg tart tour, we visited Pau's Bakery to try their Portuguese egg tarts at $2 each. Service was fast and line not long as you order at the window and take it to go. Taste wise, the egg tart had authentic flavor with flaky crust and creamy filling creamy, but didn't knock it out of the park (more 3.5 stars). If you're in the area, the eggs are good to take home as affordable treats. There were other pastry and bread available here, but they didn't stand out to the freshly made egg tarts.

    SALJU HAS EXCELLENT SHAVED SNOW…read more=============================== I am so glad Salju is still in business after all these years! It seems really popular as well. While I was there lots of people came in. I used to bring my son years ago. My selection today was a small matcha with strawberries on top. I had the choice of two items in addition to condensed milk which I love. Next time I'll pay extra for more condensed milk. It was absolutely delicious. Even though it's about twelve miles from my home I will make the trip. It's worth it. The service is great too.

    small shaved ice ($8.5) - at first i was like why is this…read moreshaved ice almost $10 after tax but it is so worth it given the size, texture, flavor, and the fact that you can choose two toppings! - there is a great variety of toppings which I liked; i got the grass jelly and red bean, both of which were good quality ingredients - got it without any condensed milk bc it was already yummy by itself; light, refreshing, and a perfect guilt free sweet treat - the matcha was super strong and the shaved ice itself had a quirky texture; although it is shaved ice it has a texture leaning a bit towards gelato? A bit gooey when you pull it up; It doesn't melt quickly right in your mouth too rating: 4.7/5 - this might be on my top 2 shaved ice spot because its texture was just so unique; flavor was good and portion was massive - i really have nothing to complain about this spot and what's even better is the amount of seats and outlets in the store - has a restroom in the back - great spot to hang and chit chat - super welcoming and friendly service - service is extremely speedy IG: @nom.noms.only

    I had a lovely experience at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel). I ordered the Creme Brûlée Soufflé…read morePancake ($17.50). It's a fluffy, jiggly pancake topped with creme brûlée and glazed sugar. WOW! Each bite felt like a warm, decadent cloud. (Important Note: These Pancakes have a LONG wait. Each Jiggly Pancake had an expected 20 to 30 minute preparation time. Also, I recommend eating it dine-in. If you wait too long, these fluffy treats promptly get mushy.) I arrived at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel) on Wednesday (11AM - Opening Time). Parking is easy. There's an underground lot for extra parking. Customers primarily order at the self-service kiosk. Customers must pay with card and insert phone number in the kiosk, but Customers can pay cash at the counter. Dine in customers grab a metal number that's stacked between the kiosks. Staff spoke limited English, but Staff is professional, diligent, and accommodating. My order took 24 minutes. As mentioned, I love the Creme Brûlée Soufflé Pancake ($17.50). It's plated and presented lovingly and seductively. It's memorable. With each motion, I bit hard onto its fluffy, lightly sweetened body. I savored how the creme brûlée's creamy sauce dribbled. It's layered, supple, and thick. I shake the plate. It dances. On ambiance, Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel) is comfortable. There's about seven interior tables and two counters. The music is slow-tempo and gentle. And it's clean. There's also a gender neutral restroom for customers. Overall, I created lovely memories at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel). The wait is extremely long, but I found contentment at this journey's end. If you love wiggly pancakes & have plenty of time to spare, this is an easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5

    Been to Motto multiple times and the items here from drinks to food items have all been pretty…read moresolid! Quality to aesthetics get high marks but sometimes taste is lacking. Souffle pancakes in different occasions always look so pretty, are the best everyone's ever had, some some flavor profiles don't work. Maybe that's why the menu sometimes changes. For example the yuzu grape was completely bland because the yuzu drizzle on top was a thin line i couldn't taste at all. At least put a spread between each layer or pour a lot on top like the others (eg berry or mango). The mint leaves was the most potent flavor in this dish. Over the grapes, blueberries, matcha powder, yuzu. Got the mango triple layer drink this time and if you drink it carefully, you can appreciate the contrast from the mango puree, the milk, the creamy salted matcha. If you just mix it up completely you won't get that affect. One thing that bothers me is because the menu changes I seem to always be unable to get something I'm thinking of from the previous visit. I recall last time I had some mochi and rice ball I added to a drink that was so damn good and I couldn't add it this time. Though I recall that drink being $11.50 from the add ons. The souffle pancake was $21... so place is $$ but again the quality is there. Service wise, never interacted with staff really. Kiosk to order. Drinks just sit at counter when done. Didn't call numbers. Oh they did bring the pancake, no words spoken.
