I love love this bakery! This is a family run bakery that…read moreserves mostly Chinese pastries and cakes. The owner is very sweet and warm greets me with big smile every time I visit. Everything is made in house and not overly sweet. I especially love their whole cakes or cake slices since they are made with whipped cream which is very airy and light. Their toast bread is also great, I always have some for breakfast, they are lightly sweet and super soft. Owner change their offering everyday, so it's always a surprise on what I can find when I visit. I also found out they started doing event catering, so this would be a great option for wedding cake or any sort of events!

Moment Bakery is a Chinese-style bakery on Green St, located near the university campus. In…read moregeneral, their cakes are not overly sweet, and they're relatively light. They're my favorite bakery in the area: I'm a really big fan and have tried many of their items (as you can see from my many photos...). My favorite items here are their cream cakes, milk bread (which they call toast), and the cakes with taro and/or mochi. I also highly recommend ordering custom cakes from them: I've ordered three custom cakes (including my wedding cake) and they were all delicious, beautifully decorated, and reasonably priced, especially for the quality. The character designs they do on cakes are super cute. Their menu changes every day, and the milk bread usually comes out later in the afternoon, around 3:30. If you can read Chinese, they have a WeChat group where they post their daily menu. They also sometimes have specials for holidays, e.g., mooncakes for Mid Autumn Festival. I've tried too many of their products to list here, but here are a just few of my favorites (you can check my photos for more details): -Cream Cakes (about $8-9 per slice, depending on the flavor) - these are light and not too sweet, and I really like the whipped cream. My favorites have been the black sesame cream cake, durian cream cake, taro cake, and jasmine milk tea cream cake; the fruit cream is also a classic and is delicious as well. I loved the black sesame cream cake so much that I got it for my wedding. -Toast (Milk Bread) - this comes in two sizes and several flavors; a small is around $5 and a large is around $9. My favorites are the taro and the pork floss flavors, but all the ones I tried have been great. It's very fluffy, soft, stretchy, and slightly sweet, and it's especially great when it's still warm. It's by far the best option for milk bread in town (it's much better than the version at Suzu's Bakery, for instance). -Purple Rice Cream Cheese Bun ($6) - bread with cream cheese, mochi, and purple rice filling. The mochi and purple rice combo is delicious, especially when the bun is still warm. -Taro Mochi Cake ($9) - layers of sponge cake, mochi, pork floss, and taro. The perfect combo in my opinion. I also like their Taro Roll and Mochi Roll, which are smaller versions with sponge cake, pork floss, and one of taro or mochi in the filling. -Mille Crepe Cakes (around $10 per slice, depending on the flavor) - these have relatively more cream compared to crepe. My personal preference would be for more crepe, but I really liked the durian mille crepe and the sakura matcha mille crepe that I tried here. In addition to cream cakes, they also make a variety of other styles of cakes, including mousse cakes, cheesecakes, Basque style cheesecakes, and tiramisu. The cream cakes are my favorite, but the mousse cakes and cheesecakes are great too and are not too sweet. The tiramisu is one of the sweetest cakes I've tried here, but I really liked it as well. The service is really kind and sweet. For custom cake orders, they're very friendly, kind, and thorough. I definitely recommend giving them a visit!

They have flavors you won't find anywhere else. Worth the trip across town. Avocado, pineapple.read more

I am embarrassed to admit that there are only 2 small pieces remaining on Sunday afternoon! The cream horn was exquisite, with the sweetness of the cream blending beautifully with the pastry. The pineapple and berry (cherry?) pastries were also amazing. The concha muffin and Pan Dulce were also phenomenal - these folks know what they're doing and what we like to eat. We will definitely be visiting often!

They only have a limited supply throughout the day so I recommend getting there right at opening. The prices are reasonable, there's a lot of options and the staff are very friendly. I tried the biscoff cheesecake, blackberry thyme, and the honey passionfruit. The blackberry thyme was DEFINITELY my favorite! They also have seating inside if that's what you like. Will be back to try other tarts and the coffee!

Only small complaint is that when I took my brother for the first time, there were no supplies left with which to add our own note to the wall. Not sure if that was intentional.

I have bought cakes from them three times. Till now I have tried, coconut cream cake, cashew caramel cake and butter cake. My ratings for each cake: Coconut cream cake(3/5): I loved the sponge but I did not like the cream. It tasted as if gelatin had been added to the cream. Butter cake (5/5): loved it. It was moist and buttery. Cashew caramel cake (5/5): this is my favorite cake at this bakery, I love it. I pick the ones with burnt cashews as they taste so good.

The plain is light and buttery, with the slight crisp on the outside.

The most surprising item was the kouign amann with everything seasoning. It is covered in a caramel sauce that amplifies the onion and sesame. Those two ingredients transform the sweet dish into a rich, savory one that recalls the patisserie's black sesame roll. An unexpected treat!

I have to give a 4 star rating though because within the last year or so I noticed they have stopped filling the cup full to the top. I asked to have more ice cream added to my tornado and the girl said she couldn't fill it after I had eaten it and I hadn't eaten anything and had just picked it up from the counter. I let her know I hadn't eaten anything and I had just got it from another girl working there and she apologized and gave me a small cup of ice cream to add to the top to mix in myself. But it had happened multiple times since then and it's pretty frustrating when you are paying so much for a tornado and it isn't filled to the top like it used to be and also making the drive for it too. I also don't love asking them to fill it after getting it from the counter. It's awkward. Overall, I will continue to get ice cream from SDB because it truly is the best. Just wish they would fill the cup all the way up without having to ask. :) *The photos attached are before I had eaten anything from the cup.
