First time visiting this Sheng Kee Bakery location. A good sized bakery with some inside seating. The parking isn't that bad since it's in a large plaza. We actually stopped in late so the choices were few. But, my mom likes the baked items here.
Ordered a mango mousse cake, we received the cake but not quite what we were expecting when we ordered the day before. The cashier was not very kind or patient so we decided to just take it and leave. Cake was good, just not what I thought I ordered
Clean and organized bakery from the Sheng Kee brand. Inside are self serve stations and a cashier counter. Just grab a tray and a pair of thongs to grab your choice of baked goods, then pay at the cashier. It's mostly to-go bakery since there's only 2 small tables with 2 seats inside, so this won't accomodate any groups or people staying to eat their baked goods for longer than 20 minutes. Like all the other Sheng Kee bakeries I've been to, prices are reasonable and I appreciate how they regularly bring out freshly baked goodies, to replenish the supply throughout the day. Their Hong Kong milk is regularly only $2.95, but they have current special if you order between 8am to 12pm noon, a bun (average $3-4), it is only $2 to add a Hong Kong milk tea. Good deal for a quick breakfast bite and drink. My order today: Portuguese egg tart, BBQ Pork Bun, mini matcha mooncake, and hot Hong Kong milk tea. This bakery is is located in the same shopping plaza as Marina Foods. Grocery and a Daiso store.
Nice local bakery cafe with some seating in a busy strip mall in Union city. I've visited multiple times in the past year to pick up small treats after grabbing a meal at the Din Ding Dumpling nearby. The sweetness level of the treats is mild which is just how I like it. On my most recent visit, I picked up a few cakes on my way to visiting a friend for tea. The cake rolls are a good shareable accompaniment with black tea. When I was checking out, the queue had grown pretty long so the staff opened another counter to start checking people out faster.
Love the remodel - not sure when it happened but we come here every trip to Norcal. Yummy bread thats affordable. Lots of variety of pastries, breads, snacks and even hot food like egg tarts and tea eggs. Easy to find parking on the non-supermarket side.
This is a long-established bakery, a small shop, but it offers a full variety of breads and cakes. I really like their tiger roll cake and puddings. Recently, they've also introduced different pudding flavors, which are quite nice as well. I especially recommend their homemade Hong Kong-style milk tea (served hot only), it's excellent. The store isn't very spacious, but it's clean and tidy. The prices are fair and reflect the quality of the products, not too expensive. The service is also very polite. Highly recommended! 一家老字號的麵包店，基本上小小的一家店，該有的麵包和蛋糕種類都贏。我喜歡他們的虎皮蛋糕和布丁，最近他們還有推出不同口味的布丁，感覺也非常不錯，額外推薦他們家自製的港式熱奶茶（只能熱的）也非常不錯。店內的環境不算大，但是乾乾淨淨；價格也是符合產品的價值，不算是太貴；服務方面非常的客氣。推薦給各位。
This bakery has a plethora of Asian breads, pastries, snacks, and cakes. My favorite is the chicken pot pie right next to the cashier, but I also like the chestnut cream cake they sometimes have.
Growing up we always got the Asian cakes since they were light and not too sweet. Sheng Kee is one the original bakeries we would get our cakes from. Swung by on father's day in the evening and they had only a couple cakes left since this was last minute. Usually I preorder but I'm glad they had a few left. I opted for the mango mousse. Still light and semi sweet. Fruits were fresh and everyone enjoyed it! Cake was spongey and to can taste the mango.
Have not been to Sheng Kee for years! The place is clean and bright. Service could be faster, it was as efficient as they could be. A customer before me left some pudding items on the counter and it took a few minutes to figure that out. She came back after grabbing a few more items, and the other cashier helped her. The green onion buns were good: still prefer them to have more green onions less dough. I also got the buy 5 get 1 free Portuguese Egg Tarts deal. They were tasty. However, amazingly I like the Portuguese Egg Tarts at the bakery inside Ranch 99 on Rosewood Drive in Pleasanton more. They taste more authentic. The crust here needs some work. Convenient location, right next to an Asian supermarket and parking can be hard if on a weekend. I did not mind walking, so I parked quite far away. Part of the parking lot was flooded though, so if you come on a rainy day, be mindful and careful not to drive a low car, or watch for flooded spots.
Pretty happy with the Japanese cheesecake we bought. Fruit was tasty and the person at the counter gave us plates and forks in a nice little premade bag.
Today, I got my daughter a slice of chocolate mocha cake. I am trusting the bakery and didn't check the cake. My daughter ate it half way though and I noticed something greens on a chocolate cake. Took a closer look and the cake is moldy. Oh my god ! How long has it been in their fridge and they still sell it.
This Sheng Kee gets busy! I've visited many times, during weekdays and weekends, it's always got some hustle and bustle. During the weekends, it's got a lot of hustle and a lot of bustle. So, I'm pretty sure the baked goods are freshly made on a daily basis as I can bet to think that they sell out at the end of the day. The baked goods are always consistent, tasty, and you know what you're going to get. Savory, sweet, yogurt based, cakes, coffees, teas, and bobas, you're bound to find something you'd enjoy here. They'll also have seasonal mooncakes and other goodies. Not so much a cafe but a few seats and tables strewn around a bakery focused store, most people take their foods to go rather than sit down and enjoy. Plenty of parking in the Marina shopping center. I always try to make a visit when I am in the neighborhood.
UPDATE (Jan 7, 2026): I am updating my review because Sheng Kee's corporate team reached out and went above and beyond to fix the situation. They were incredibly professional, admitted the mistake, and mailed me two tote bags along with two $10 gift certificates to make things right. I truly appreciate a company that takes accountability for their customer service. While I will not be returning to the Union City location due to the poor service I received there, I will definitely be back to visit Sheng Kee's other locations! Thank you for the wonderful resolution.
This Sheng Kee Bakery location is one of the best, the first, and most successful operations in town compared to other locations in the region. What they don't have at other locations do exist at this one, especially the 8 inches fruit basket fruit cake. Love it. Still affordable. Yes, very organized and fully stocked. It's one of the locations that do have sit down tables & chairs inside, so that you can actually dine-in/take a break to relax and enjoy your orders. If you need to use the public restroom, you need to grab the key and unlock the door. Very convenient. I was able to enjoy a good cup of iced jasmine green tea and purchased two on sale items: $10.50 each for special handmade coffee eggrolls plus the Tieguanyin/tea flavored eggrolls. Nice. I rarely see these items at Sheng Kee Bakery. Delicious. It was a quick and happy visit. Pastries all looked affordable and the cake selections are just awesome. Cashier and staffs are friendly and good people. Must love the dine-in option nowadays. It's rare for Sheng Kee Bakery locations. Worth revisiting. read more

Good pastries but what happened to my cream on this one??? Need better quality control. It's ok, I added Nutella to it since it was missing the cream. read more
I'm no stranger to Sheng Kee Bakery and have made purchases in the past including cakes. With that said, this was my very first visit to this Union City location. Here you will find the typical Asian pastries/baked goods: whole loaves of bread, celebratory cakes, custard tarts, danishes, tea eggs, & cookies. The sweets here are more mild when it comes to sweetness level and the pastries aren't heavy. Items that I enjoy from SK: *BRIOCHE LOAF *CUSTARD BUN *BBQ PORK BUN *PAPER CUPCAKE *CUSTARD TARTS *FRUIT BASKET CAKE Pastries are good, the selection is plentiful. So why would Sheng Kee get a 3 star rating?? Simply due to the unfriendly, unwelcoming, and judgmental looks the elderly staff give off. This place wasn't busy during my visit, in fact, our party was the only shoppers. I assume boredom really set in for the workers since they apparently didn't have anything else to do besides glare at patrons. I wouldn't go outta my way to come back to this location. My personal purchases were extremely limited because I really didn't feel like spending my hard earned money here. They're lucky my nephew's eyes lit up at the sight of the bakery- he essentially got them the same. Meh. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery has been a staple inside the El Mercado Shopping Center for years now. They sell a variety of asian inspired baked goods and pastries. This location is pretty decent sized and offers a lot of different pastries and also has a good amount of seating if you wanted to enjoy your goodies at the bakery. The selection of breads and baked goods here are great, I like getting the Chocolate Pineapple Buns, they are delicious and filled with Chocolate inside. Just wished they would ensure that each bun had equal amounts of chocolate, as some do not have as much as others sometimes. Each week they have a weekly special so make sure to check what the special is to take advantage of it! There is a $10 minimum for credit card usage, so make sure to have cash if possible. The customer service here is okay, the people that work here are friendly enough to get by, but don't expect too much. Wish they had a loyalty program here for regular customers, but they don't. Overall, a good solid bakery in the area that is a staple for many. read more
Four stars based on cakes we picked up for a house party. We snagged the Mango mouse and Japanese style cheesecake. The mango mouse was light and sweetened to a moderate level it was delicious and not too heavily sweetened. The mouse was a bit on the thick side would have liked it to be a bit softer. The Japanese cheesecake had two layers of consistency to it. The bottom was more dense and the top was a bit fluffier. Overall not really cheesy more like a pound cake but still good. The service was friendly and helpful to get us yummy cakes! read more

Back in my college days and before 85 degrees started popping up around the Bay, this bakery was one of my faves. I remember how much smaller this bakery was in the early days (see my panoramic pic - type "The inside!" in the search bar of the photo gallery). The remodeling did them justice! So glad the inside of the bakery got widened just a bit more. Nice to have some tables to chill out at now instead of just grabbing and going. Two cashiers were busy making several drinks, so it took a few minutes for them to ring me up. I was first in line and 6 other customers were waiting behind me. I would've hoped that one cashier would check out customers. Once a cashier finally got to me, my initial order of two items totaled to $5.80. Unfortunately like most of the Asian shops out here, they charge for using your debit/credit card. So ***NOTE: "$8.00 minimum for using a card + anything less than that is a 50¢ charge." I decided to grab two more items instead. Here's what I walked out with: BLACK SESAME ROLL -- this was a "NEW!" item recently added. I'm a sucka for black sesame so I looked forward to it. It was the first item I tried once I got inside my car. Cake rolls are usually hit or miss. This was fasho a miss. The black sesame flavor was prominent but the cake was dry. Sometimes the filling can make up for and compliment it but the amount was minimal. I ate half to give it a chance. I wouldn't recommend it. H.K. HAM & EGG BUN -- I looooove ham & egg! Especially when it's a square moist egg! Peep the pic for the thickness of the egg. I ate half once I got home. I feel like they can chill just a taaaaad bit on the mayo. That would make it a 10 for me instead of an 8. CURRY PORK SUNG ONION TWIST -- Errmerrgerrdd. This was saaaaaltyyyyy. The onion, pork, and curry powder altogether made it heeeeellllaaaa salty. GREEN ONION BUN -- Simple, but one of my faves. The bread is fluffy and the amount of green onion gave it the perfect amount of flavor. Two of these items were my usual go-tos (Ham & Egg Bun + Green Onion Bun) and the other two were new. Def. gotta try other goods and tea the next time around. read more
#ThankYouThursday A big thanks to ShengKee Bakery for introducing me to enjoying kernel corn on a sandwich. It was interesting and delicious, and I only lost a few kernels. I believe the bread is made on site. It's so soft and fresh. See the sandwich with the tomato in my images. I've been back twice to buy a loaf for home made sandwiches. The Sung (Pork Floss) sandwich is on a soft croissant roll with a little mayo, ham, a boiled egg and corn. For me, it's an interesting sandwich, but quite tasty. I also tried their Sun Cookie, but I didn't enjoy that one. There is another Chinese bakery with Degrees in the name. It makes my favorite Sun Cookie where the outer crust is flaky and the inside is perfectly sweet. Here's What I Think... I'll be back to try a different dessert. read more

We have been coming here for a few years. Recently however, the quality of their desserts has gone down bad. I just purchased this cake 3 days ago and it has grown mold!!! There is no way cake can grow mold in such a short time frame IF they were making these fresh. I will be going back today for a refund. read more

I can't believe this is a popular Chinese bakery. I found their cakes to be very avg and extremely expensive for the value. Service was quick and they have a small sit down. I'd go here if I'm really desperate for sweet and nothing is open. read more
Sheng Kee Bakery in Union City is one of eleven stores in the Sheng Kee chain of bakeries in the San Francisco Bay Area. I haven't been to all of them, but right now I prefer to go to this one. Why? Well, I used to work in Union City, so the area is familiar. This Sheng Kee is relatively new. At my last visit, the store was clean and bright. The store was well organized, and the staff were polite. I don't usually buy the fancy cakes. I like to go there for my favorites such as Butterfly cookies, chocolate cream rolls, and almond cookies. Going to Sheng Kee brings back memories of going to SF Chinatown with my grandmother. She would tell me that Chinese bakery items aren't really sweet, but they must be fresh. Sheng Kee items are fresh, and they wrap them up in packaging to preserve the freshness. But you know, it's best to enjoy them right away. Someday, I'll have to visit this store in the morning when it's fully stocked. I would guess I'll have a better shopping experience. read more

There are some really good pastries but I think they have a limited amount of options. The shop itself is quite small so if you go during a rush time there might be a long line to pay. All pastries are pre wrapped and you can grab a tray to pick the pastries that you want. The milk tea was not that great. I would suggest only picking up pastries if you visit this bakery. They only accept credit/debit cards if your payment is $10+, otherwise you will have to pay in cash. read more

I haven't been at this location in ages! I hardly recognize the inside after the remodel (which happened quite a while I assume...). It looks great, clean, and more comfortable than before. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Always a plus when baked goods are served with a smile. Unfortunately, some of our pastries were undercooked. I was in denial for a good sec. But when I decided to mold the doughy sections into a ball, the realization kicked in. Still a cool place to check out, that still has some heart baked in. Not a stellar review score, but hope they read this and sort out the inconsistencies. read more
Sheng Kee Bakery has been a beloved gem in Union City! Love all the pastries and drinks and cakes here! One of my favorite pastries is the green tea Mochi bun! Always so gooey and always stuffed to the fullest. Recently, we tried their chocolate raspberry kitty cake and omg! SO DELICIOUS! Not too sweet and the frosting was so light. The raspberry definitely tasted like it should meshed in between two decadent layers of fluffy chocolate cake. It wasn't the best chocolate cake I've had, however, I enjoyed the fluffiness to it and the way it melted perfectly with the raspberry and frosting. What's also amazing is that if you buy a cake, you get a free cake kit! It's complete with plates, forks, candles, a birthday sign & the cake cutter! That's right! It's so cute! The cake kit is able to serve about ten people. A very thoughtful and fun addition to give out with your cakes! read more
