Everyone raved about the cake-- perfect texture and not cloyingly sweet. The fruits were all ripe and delicious, beautifully displayed atop the cake. Would definitely get again!! Pricing was about $90, which is pricier than I usually shell out for a cake, but honestly felt really worth it for what you get.

I highly recommend their Pineapple BBQ Pork Bun ($3.75), BBQ Pork Pie ($3.25), Curry Beef Pie ($3.25), and Hot Dog Bun ($2.40). Their egg tarts are also a winner, but I don't always get it because I prefer savory items. This place accepts cards and parking is plenty!

Oooh yes, had to stop by for a Portuguese Tart! It was tasty, though the caramelized top was on the…read morebrittle candy side. The breading was tasty, and the custard was just the right amount of sweetness. There are also a variety of other baked goods that I can't wait to return and try. One thing to note though is that it's cash only up until ~ $!0 charge, then which a credit card may be used for payment. If you're visiting, make sure to be careful also of the side by the door... there's an awkward step that's super easy to trip over, especially since there isn't much standing room inside.

D'ange Bakery is an Asian bakery located on the corner of Mission x Main St. (that turns into Las…read moreTunas). There's a small parking lot in the back, but spaces can be hard to find and I ended up having to park on the street the first time I went. (FYI - they are going to open a Goomo tea shop on the corner in the same space!) D'ange has so many fun flavors of buns. I really liked the taro with mochi one. The only thing about the buns is that the fillings tend to be only on one side of the bun, so there are been times as I'm biting into the bun, I'm not getting any filling until the last couple bites. They even sell cookies and all different flavors of toast that would make some yummy brick toast desserts! And if you need a whole cake, they have them in the case ready to go too! The buns I got were great, as were the Portuguese egg tarts. They even sold Chinese tamales at my last visit, so I picked one up too. I don't know many places that sell these, and I used to eat them all the time when my grandma made them years ago, but now that no one in my family knows how to make them, it's a special treat if I can find it. They have ones with meat (with or without peanuts), and some with just the mung bean. They must be really know for this because 2 other parties ahead of me were buying tons of the tamales!

TGTG is an app that allows businesses to sell their leftover or flawed goods for a discounted price in a bundle of their choice. So you don't know what you get, BUT it reduces food waste (#sustainability) while being easier on your wallet. You pay a price they name and they give you the value they listed. The owner (I presume) handed us a prepackaged brown bag the moment we got there. It wasn't busy at all so the whole transaction was under 5 minutes. It's a mom & pop Asian bakery that's spacious and warm. Our surprise bag contained 7 mini breads: black sesame mochi, red sesame mochi, taro bun with filling, hot dog cheese bread, buo luo bao, ham + cheese bun, and another bread I couldn't quite identify. This is $21 value for $6.99 is what we paid. After heating them up, they tasted almost like fresh so we can't complain. However, I would say these days $3 would get you bigger buns at other similar bakeries, but their fillings were very generous, so it's hard to say. Parking has spots designated to the bakery so look out for the signs.

I've never ordered a drink from the counter but on my most recent visit, did pick up a bottle of milk tea from the fridge and it tasted pretty good although a bit expensive. I don't have a favorite pastry but am a fan of the taro ones. Garage entrance is on a side street just off of Main so 2-hour parking is easy. There is some seating inside if you wanted to eat in. Staff is friendly. Definitely will be back every so often.

I didn't know that there were many other options (shapes and flavors)... and baked goods, too. Some of us joined the Loyalty Program and got a free egg custard tart... yay! It was yummy! The cashier was very patient with us! Thank you! Of course, I had a cute bear... it was creamy and not too sweet. I did feel bad about cutting him up into bite-sized pieces. Haha! Note: we all walked over from another restaurant that had free covered parking!

However, I didn't have a good experience with their service. I asked if we can wait for the new batch of portugues tarts because the remaining ones looked too burnt to me. The lady answered" this is how it supposed to look". Then I said there are differences between some of them, because I saw the previous customer got some of the less burnt ones. The attitude of this lady wasn't friendly at all and was very blunt. I didn't feel good after her response but I insisted on waiting for the new batch. Then I saw other customers buying more of the remaining ones and this lady would purposely pick out the less burnt ones for them. So this action shows that she agrees that not all portugués tart are equal! I mean I am glad she is picking out the less burnt ones for those customers but she just conflicted of what she said to me! Only if she explained with a more polite attitude or say I can try my best to pick out the less burnt ones for you. I just do not appreciate people who is not very nice while they are in the customer service industry. I am still giving this place a 4 star because the price is great for the quality of pastries they make! They also provide a very nice box too when you order more egg tarts.

Interior is spacious. Prices were reasonable. Free parking is available at the square. I'm coming back for more $1.00 egg tarts and whatever else I didn't find that night. Thanks Sunmerry! Note: Happy Lemon used to be in the same space as Sunmerry Bakery, but they are no longer here. However, Sunmerry Bakery still makes some of the Happy Lemon inspired drinks.

This particular location though, could use some work with consistency. The selection and quality of pastries and drinks seem to vary throughout my many visits. My top pastries are all of their croissant-like pastries, especially the Pastry Frank (filled with a savory sausage inside) and Mini Strawberry Lemon Cream Croissant (filled with a smooth and tangy lemon cream and fresh strawberries that add a tartness). Both of these have flaky, buttery exterior shells that are wonderful to bite into. For cakes, I love the strawberry soft cream cake. This cake is simple, light, and not too sweet. The thin layers of vanilla, soft cream, and strawberries blend excellently together. I appreciate that they provide free candles with whole cakes. An underrated cake is the green tea roll cake, which is delicious, but not ideal for celebrations.
