Located inside the Pacific East Mall, across the hall from the 99 Ranch Market grocery store. I usually stop in here to get a savory or sweet treat or more, after shopping at 99 Ranch Market. Recently picked up a mini bite-sized, Lava Chocolate Mooncake, which I thought was a nice and new fusion style creation. When I brought it home and cut into it, told myself I am definitely getting this again next time I'm at a Sheng Kee Bakery! Loved the gooey "lava" flow of the chocolate sauce in the filling. They used lotus seed and multiple beans (white kidney beans, red, mung, etc) in the bean paste filling too. Was perfectly not too sweet and the mini size was perfect for me not to overindulge. Sheng Kee is one of my favorite chain brands for Taiwanese/Asian bakeries. Prices are usually reasonable and quality/flavor is consistent. They seem to be a popular regional brand as I've only ever seen them around Northern California. read more

This is a small Cantonese bakery located in the 99 Ranch shopping plaza. I come here every time I'm in the area to get some pineapple buns and walnut cookies. The bakery is typical of what you would see from a Cantonese bakery. You'll have all the cakes and Swiss rolls as well as the red bean buns, coconut buns, sliced toast, savory buns, etc. My favorite item is the walnut cookie. I always stock up on those. I would say the quality has been declining in recent years. In my latest batch, I found a hair in my pineapple bun which has not happened before but it's not going to stop me from getting my walnut cookies! The location is convenient and the staff is pleasant. read more

Plenty of parking and multilple other stores inside the market. read more

I always stop by Sheng Kee Bakery whenever I visit 99 Ranch since they are in the same building. Great place for Taiwanese pastries and cakes. There are so many items I like here, especially the cream filled buns like the chocolate bun with cream, taro cream bun, and custard cream bun. However, I highly recommend AVOIDING the Beef Curry filled Bun, there is very little beef curry filling inside (see pictures below). They have a decent selection of cakes as well like their chestnut cake and the fruit cakes. read more

The best Asian bakery in El Cerrito, and the best in the East bay outside of the Oakland area. The breads are fresh as the turnover is high. Service is typical of a Asian place. Lots of parking in the large lot. Service charge for credit card read more

Their Chocolate Bun with Cream $2.85 each is still very yummy. The cream inside is like a slightly sweet yellow custard cream and not the white cream. read more

I absolutely love Sheng Kee Bakery in the Pacific East Mall, Richmond. This is always a stop ~ regardless if we've eaten a meal, doing a quick stop at the market, or looking for a sweet treat. It's so fun to have such a deliciously array of sweet and savory grab & go items that tbh, rarely make it all the way home (lotsa car crumbs) haha. Recently we tried a pineapple bun and grabbed a few of the hot snack items including my ultimate favorite, the bbq pork tart. Yum! So buttery and crispy, with ample filling and just the perfect pocket size. I could have one of these every day. Sometimes you can find these on certain dim sum menus, but not all. Quick service, small spot within the mall, no indoor seating ~ essentially you grab a tray and pick the individually packaged items you like, pay, and on your way. Fair pricing and lotsa variety from moon cakes, whole cakes for purchase, buns, meat pies, pastries, and more. A fun spot to frequent with kiddos where everyone can pick something out ~ also makes a nice gift for something different without breaking the bank. Free and ample mall parking available too. read more

Just att their mango pudding mousse sponge last night. It made me so happy, my toes were twitching inside my socks. Absolutely perfection. And so is their chestnut cake! read more

I would consider myself a regular at Sheng Kee Bakery, as I've been coming here for over 10 years. Whenever I need to pick up an Asian-style cake last minute for a special occasion, Sheng Kee is my go-to. The fruit-topped sponge cakes are affordable, ideal for anyone who prefers desserts that are "not too sweet," and the light whipped cream between the layers won't leave behind that heavy, greasy feeling you often get from buttercream cakes. Beyond the cakes, I really enjoy the savory pastries in the counter case. I'm almost always tempted to grab a chicken hand pie or BBQ pork pastry while checking out. Are they the best? Not exactly -- the dough can be a little dense, the flaky layers sometimes collapsed, the texture a bit oily, and every now and then there's not quite enough filling. But despite all that, there's something irresistible about a warm, crispy pastry with a savory center. Prices for the breads and pastries have definitely gone up over the years, which -- if anything, has made it a little easier to resist grabbing extras after a grocery run at Ranch 99. That said, Sheng Kee is still a reliable spot for affordable cakes and a quick snack. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery inside Pacific East Mall, the other popular store beside 99 Ranch. They have been in business in Pacific East Mall as long as 99 Ranch. I love the selection of pastries that they have. So much to chose from. I am addicted to Sheng Kee Bakery. I have gotten great service at Sheng Kee Bakery. I love how they have put all my pastries in a box to make it presentable. Keep up with the good work Sheng Kee Bakery! read more

Don't buy any bakery if they have today 's promotion for that because it is old . I bought one last week , the pastry was hard and stale.

Very convenient location to very some Chinese bakery fixes after shopping at Ranch. We get our usual cream filled and cocktail buns, plus whatever catches our eyes at the moment. The buns are always spongy and fluffy, very fresh, but also very pricey. Not too much of our favorite varieties, we actually prefer the selection at their competitor, but can't beat the convenience read more

Great cakes - delicious and reasonably priced. Always beautiful, always ready, on time, so pick-up is a breeze.

It's a great stop in El Cerrito. Love their goodies. Not too overly sweet. Many surprise sweet & savory goods you won't find in other bakeries. Bonus if s many items are individually wraps for locked in freshness. Definitely a must try. read more

Sheng Kee is one of popular spots in the Pacific East Mall, and it's just across from 99 Ranch. This place has all of your favorite Chinese and Taiwanese baked goods. Walking in is like a trip down nostalgia lane. . . I want one of those, and one of those, and one of those . . . But everything is wrapped in plastic. So. much. plastic. Every little thing, individually wrapped. I just couldn't do it. I wanted it all, but our world is drowning in plastic. read more

We tried some mango mouse cakes and tiramisu from this bakery and they were so delicious! We are so happy we tried them and will be back for some more. The mousse cakes are not too sweet, and had the perfect combination of mouse and cake in them. The tiramisu was very delicious though sweeter than the mousse cakes. The Tiramisu also had the right balance between cake and mousse as well. We will definitely be back for some more dessert here and happy to see that they have several locations throughout the Bay Area and will be trying other locations around the area. read more

Cash only if purchase is under $10. I love the custard brioche buns. Tons of custard. Make sure you eat them that day for freshest flavor and quality. I love the little chicken and beef pies near the cash register. Most everything is good here. If you can't decide what to get, just get something random. Great spot. Price is a little high, but it's ok because quality is also high. 5 stars. Always a nice treat. read more

A popular bakery in a popular shopping center. Located right off Central Ave exit, easily accessible by public transportation or car with ample parking. It gets crowded in the afternoon weekdays and all day weekends. I love this location for its selection of treats from savory to sweet, including the Hong Kong Milk Tea. I purchase individual cake slices to satisfy my sweet tooth and larger cakes to celebrate. Their offerings are not sweet with amazing flavor and freshness. The pricing is very affordable. Come early, selections sell out quickly as well as cakes. This is typically my go to for any bakery needs especially for large groups and sharing. It is located in Ranch 99 across from the supermarket. The bakery opens an hour later than the market. Enjoy! read more

This bakery is in Ranch 99, the interior is nice and clean! I'm not sure what these buns are called, but my family and I have been eating these for years and we found some here! It's absolutely delicious! It's creamy, buttery, soft, fluffy, and the coconut flakes add texture as well! Such a great dessert, its not too sweet too!! They have other desserts as well that range from sweet to savory. I also love to get their pan fried bbq pork buns, so delicious! The price isn't too bad as well! read more

I've got a sweet tooth - and I found this bakery hard to walk past with all the colorful cakes covered in fresh berries. Good quality. $10 minimum for cards. I saw a Japanese cheesecake - I probably should have gone with my instinct and taken that cake home. They didn't sell it in small slices so I didn't. Got some mango pieces. Good taste - not the best thing I ever had in my life though. The one piece had a lot of different layers. I liked that.... I suspect a lot of this was previously frozen or that the refrigerator was set too cold here. The inside middle layer was very crunchy frosty. Packaging was beautifully done and with a plastic fork included. Great to eat on the go. Ten dollar minimum for credit card use. For that I remove one star. My sweet tooth has recently caused me to avoid a sticky situation. You see I was heading to Trader Joes in Castro Valley but then realized they don't carry Dunkaroos. So I headed toward Safeway instead. On my way back I saw that a car drove inside the TJs that day. A Toyota Avalon. I got home and could hear the helicopters whirring above as I live very nearby. I guess what I'm saying is sticky sugary treats could save your life. Really all I ever hear about desserts is that they are unhealthy. I'm not so sure if I believe it fully. read more

Been coming here for years since it's conveniently located across Ranch 99. Usually a quick grab and go; our usual go-tos: sweet toast, dinner rolls, and the occasional triangle sponge cake (was never a fan of their birthday cakes) or bbq pork pastries. We even bought $500 worth of gift card/coupons for my sister's tea ceremony last year because they have a few locations across the Bay for family and friends to visit and grab some baked goods. Fast forward to tonight-- we rush in thinking they close at 8pm (have gone at 7pm in the past and they would already be closed). We quickly grab a loaf of the SWEET toast & dinner rolls and the cashier rings up $9.80; we hand over a $10 gift certificate. The lady says we're like 20 cents under and we tell her it's okay and to keep the change, but she insisted that we had to buy another item....what kind of policy is that?? What takes the cake is that when we get home, we notice that she charged us for RAISIN toast instead of Sweet, which is almost $1 more. Normally we'd just shake it off since it's petty change, but being overcharged and forced to buy something else we didnt need/intend to get was an unpleasant experience overall. read more

For those unfamiliar, Sheng Kee is a Taiwanese Bakery chain that has opened up roughly a dozen locations here in the Bay Area. They serve a variety of Asian breads, dessert options, as well as full (and delicious!) cakes for all occasions. While they have several sizable locations throughout the Bay, this particular location right across from 99 Ranch (I still call it Ranch 99) is definitely one of their smaller locations. They are typically pretty busy throughout the day, so it came get a bit claustrophobic as people are attempting to line up for their purchases. Although Sheng Kee prices are definitely on the higher end (typically ~$3/bun or dessert item), they keep their shelves pretty well stocked. And their food has always been pretty fresh, so I've never had an issue with the quality. If you are buying a birthday cake, make sure to also ask for a birthday cake topper. They used to also offer plates, utensils, and candles, but not sure if they have discontinued that. As the last time I asked for it, they stated they did not have any left. read more

This bakery is always bustling with people even late into the afternoon. They are always well stocked with pastries & people bc it is directly across Ranch99. Bought their Cream Cheese Loaf as well as a garlic onion bread & summer romance. My Pastries: The Cream Cheese Loaf is reasonable for around $5.50. The cream cheese definitely adds that creamy smooth texture. While it is my favorite go to, I noticed that the bread in the inside tended to completely crack leaving empty pockets of air in my bread. You really don't get a full bite of bread, but still a reasonable purchase. Garlic Onion Bread had loads of green onion & lots of flavor, but after eating it you could see all the butter oozing out. Summer Romance is my favorite bc of the berry jam & outer bun which lends a creamy soft texture. This bun isn't overly sweet so it is perfect with a cup of coffee. I love Sheng Kee's pastries & especially this location bc they are well stocked throughout the day, not just early in the morning. read more

Great place to have sweet snacks. I would definitely recommend this place. If you haven't been there, I would definitely give it a chance.

The baked goods really had gone downhill. We went just on Sunday and got our usual pineapple bun, egg tart, and got a new item to try: sesame croissant. The pineapple bun was sooo flat, it was like the yeast died or something. The sesame croissant wasn't a croissant at all, the layers all stuck together and it was not flakey at all. The egg tart was really bad texture too. We also recently ordered tiramisu that wasn't real tiramisu. It was more of a chocolate mousse cake. I'm really disappointed. I was deceived. I used to like Sheng Kee as much as I liked other Chinese bakeries. After these last two times I will no longer be visiting this location, at least not for me. read more

Sheng Kee is one of those bakeries that you can drop in and quickly grab a few items to go. They have a variety of pastries, cakes and buns, from savory to sweet! There are no tables or seats available. Most of the items are already packaged or wrapped up individually. The only items that are not boxed up are the cakes in the display window near the cashiers. Everything here is supposedly made fresh the day of. I don't think that's the case though. Every time I come here, I typically grab about 10 items. There would always be a few pastries or buns that were not soft and if there were any filling, it was dried up and crumbly when it's not supposed to. No one ever greets you or is cheerful. Tongs and trays are located at the entrance to grab what you want to buy so you don't contaminate the food. When I handed the tongs to the cashier when I went to pay, the lady grabbed it and aggressively threw it in the bucket located behind her. The customer service here could use a lot of help. read more

I purchase the cake from this location at least 4 times a year, biweekly I purchase toast! I notice that they are different from other location sheng kee, for birthday cake they give the plates without verbally asking. For them I have ask few time and they mention they don't but I'll see others walking out with it. I was thinking may they ran out or don't offer plates anymore but this purchase they gave the plates to the white lady. I was third in line and purchase same cake but didn't design and different cashier got the cake and I ask her for plate she said they don't have any plates! I stated that the last lady who's buying the same cake got the plates and I'm just thinking is it because I'm not white?! she started asking the other cashier in Chinese " you just gave out the plates?" So does that mean they do have plates but ONLY limited to certain races?! Eventually the other cashier grabbed the plates, laughed while saying this is the LAST one HAHA! If I got the time I would pull back all the pictures of the cakes and also bank statements and sue them! They ppl are ridiculous! I would stick with SL and union city sheng kee, way much better service then this location read more

Oh Geezus. Mousses, and tarts, and cakes... oh my!!! So. Much. GOODNESS!!! But let me tell you what's REALLY goin' on; them cheese pudding egg tarts!!! Dear Lordt. LORDT. Yes, Lordt. With that T at the end and everythang. That cheese pudding just about took ya girl OUT! Cheese pudding egg tart is TF GOODT! Damnit... now I want one (sad face emoji). But anyways... Sheng Kee is definitely "on key" when it comes to their delicious pastries. This particular location is housed in Richmond's Pacific East Mall. I stopped here with my cousins while they were visiting from out of town, and we all went gah gah goo goo. They make the best mousse here! Mango mousse is typically my favorite and they know how to execute it well. It's super moist and fruity. The Black Forest mousse was delightful as well. My cousins really enjoyed their lotus moon cakes. But, that cheese pudding though!!! The cheese pudding is simply to die for. It's basically an egg custard tart on steroids, but more eggy than custard-y if that makes any sense. It's a bit dense but still soft in the inside, and it'll literally melt in your mouth. Couldn't get enough of it. I would go back strictly for that because it was delicious. There's a $10 card minimum so bring cash if you want to make an even smaller purchase. There are so many pastries to choose from! If you don't know what you want when you walk in, prepare to spend some time looking around. I usually only stop at the Pacific East Mall a few times a year when I'm in the area, but now I have a reason to come back more often. Yuuup, for those addicting cheese pudding egg tarts! Mmmm. read more

Located inside Pacific East mall, on the right hand side, directly across from the entrance to Ranch 99. It's super small so it can get real chaotic and claustrophobic in there. It's a U-Shape plan, so enter through the right, grab your tray and tongs, pile up all your goodies on your tray, and then make your way around to the cashier. They have a few cold items - sandwiches, cake slices, etc and then a few hot items right near the cashier. They have a good mix of sweet and savory buns. Most are about $1.75-2.99 but they also sell loaves of milk breads for about $6. They also offer whole cakes in their display case but you can pre order a custom cake too. I love their Portuguese tarts here. It's basically an egg tart but more creamy with yummy burnt sugar spots on top. This is a solid spot for a quick pastry snack. For the savory buns, definitely air fry for a couple min to warm up. They'll taste way better!! read more

Sheng Kee is one of those bakeries that's been around for as long as I can remember. This location is inside a mall, right across from Ranch 99. It's super convenient to stop by and pick up delicious cakes, pastries, and buns! My favorite go-to item is either the cream bun or the potato salad bun~ The egg tarts are quite popular as well, and they sell pretty quickly! I recently tried one of their new-ish items, a fruity pig-shaped pudding. It was super cute, but not as jiggly as I expected it to be. There's also a minimum charge to use card, so if you're only picking up a couple items then be sure to bring cash! If you're in the area, this is a great place to stop for a quick snack! read more
