Came back for breakfast again this past weekend. Things have improved considerably from our first visit a week after they opened! Thank goodness!! Egg pancake - we ordered 2, and good thing we did! Delicious thin crepe. Came with a sauce that I didn't really care for though. Fried dough stick - last time, we got cold ones... gross. This time, it was nice and hot. Best ones in town at the moment. Crispy and airy, delicious. Yes, they're fried so be warned, it's oily. But worth it. Soy milk - standard, good. Pan-fried buns - ehhh ok this was not that great... Sugar shao bing (pastry?) - cold, but we were too full anyways so I took it to go. If it's your first time there for breakfast, go up to the counter to order. Bring cash. Find a seat and put your number on the table. Then go to the back and get utensils/plates/etc. If it's super busy, there might be a bit of a wait (our food came out within minutes) but if it takes some time, go browse the bakery section! All the goodies there are delicious as well. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a cake from here for my birthday, so this review is based solely on that. However, I will definitely be back to try their other pastries and breads so that I can write a more accurate review based on the location as a whole. The cake was beautifully decorated and coated with mango slices on the outside as opposed to a traditional iced spread, and the mangoes were very sweet and fragrant. The cake topping was a bit excessive because there was so much of it, but it was a nice amount of fruit and was a good portion to share amongst guests. On the inside, it had a moist vanilla sponge and mango mousse and mango chunks. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, and was very light in texture. My only major complaint is that it was a messy cake to cut and came apart quite easily. Other than that, it was a great way to celebrate, and I'll be back soon to take advantage of their awesome bread deals! read more

Six Ping Bakery - Green tea, mango, taro, coffee, and mystery flavor between green tea and mango - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I like to come by and pick up their small sliced cakes whenever I'm craving some "healthy" desserts (healthy in the sense that it's lighter and contains much less sugar compared to the American desserts). This allows me to satisfy my sweet tooth without feeling too bad about the sugar and the calories. They have multiple locations, but this one is more convenient for me. The bakery also contains a restaurant inside for you to order normal food, mostly breakfast items though. They have a large variety of different pastries, buns, cookies, cakes to choose from, and all are relatively cheap. Everything is individually packaged, which is great for germ prevention. I recommend coming by if you're in the area. read more

Six Ping Bakery - Cute! - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Six Ping is my favorite Asian bakery ever! I've been to bakeries in China and Taiwan, and I still like Six Ping the most. Their bread is always soft, sweet and flavorful. Everything I've had has been delicious! The hardest part of going to Six Ping is picking which breads to take home with you. My favorites are the ones with taro filling or pork sung. Or even better, when they're together! Salty and sweet and absolutely delicious. It can basically be considered a meal, right? Drool. read more

This was the first bakery we tried in the area! We got a variety of things (big macarons, buttercream bread, some of the shaped breads) for a pretty good price. I'd say the shaped breads with filling were the best tasting, but overall we've had better before. read more

Best bakery I've been to in Houston! Let me just say, what they label their breads is really what's inside their bread. Corn bread: they ACTUALLY have corn bits baked through it! Ham and cheese sandwich: a giant piece of ham and a light slab of cheese baked into it. My favorite things to get in here are the milky pudding with fruit and the delicious pineapple cookies! read more

I love the desserts and prices. It's an small bakery but is very affordable and they are constantly displaying fresh pastries. Thank you for the great customer service!! read more

I know this place makes serious money and I wish I could love it, but I just don't like Asian bread and this place wasn't anything different. Yes, they have loads of variety and cute little animal shapes and even a HELLO KITTY cake (by the way, you should make her eyes further apart...because her eyes are not close set) - I guess I enjoy French Boulangerie. I haven't tasted anything here that I love and cannot live without. read more

*window shopping experience* I was so excited that they expanded...until I saw the pastries and was so disappointed. This location is more like a cafe/bakery. It was so crowded I expected fresh pastries & moe selections. Half of the selections were definitely not fresh. You can feel how heavy & dense the bread. The items on the menu looks ok. Not sure if if ill come back to try. It's just small random snacks. More like a pastry brunch with the soy bean milk. Ill just stick with the old location which is down the street. read more

They have a great variety of breads, cakes, moon cakes, and macarons. Looks like they have a buy 5 get 1 free deal after 7 pm. Our favorites were the giant macarons, the taro ( real taro not the dyed purple stuff) tulip, and the moon cake pineapple and date. Their normal breads such as milk butter and Raisin are a little dry. Would not recommend those. Stick to the specialty pastries. read more

Six Ping Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

There are multiple locations on Bellaire. For some reason, we always tend to go to this one. A bakery with cheap baked goods that are tasty. What more do you want? We always end up buying bags and bags of pastries to bring home for not only us but for friends and family as well. The only thing is they do run out a lot and if you can't wait for a new batch, you can go down the street to the next location. read more

I love this bakery. Pastries are light, buttery, and always fresh. I love anything filled with their cream cheese combination. They also make very beautiful cakes..cartoon pigs, bears, etc. This place is a must try! read more

After finding this place on yelp I made sure to stop by after doing some grocery at Hong kong. Being from California and having a great appreciation from baked goods I was happy to find that six ping is very similar to 85 bakery in socal. They don't have just as much options but they have the ones that most would eat. Like the taro filling and the ones with shredded pig meat. I love it. And the prices are the same. CHEAP. I would rather buy one of this for a quick breakfast with coffee than kolache (which is a little more expensive yet so much smaller) Totally coming back for more! I get so happy looking at the ones I bought today! Oh yea, parking is crazy on Sunday afternoon so beware. AND they only accept card payment if your subtotal is more than $10. So unless you're planning to buy a lot bring cash. read more

Six Ping Bakery - My treasure trove - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

So much happiness in the form of baked goods! I walked in the store and was almost overcome by the heavenly aroma. My mouth was watering before I even picked up a tray to grab the goodies off the shelf. I like how everything was individually wrapped in this store, so much more hygienic than places that offer you a nasty tong that everyone has been touching. The store was very clean and the employees were constantly putting out fresh items. It was a Tuesday afternoon and the little shop was filled with people, hate to imagine what it looks like on weekends. Since it was my first time, I bought a variety of sweet and savory breads, pastries and cake. Hard to say which one was my favorite because I loved every single item I got. The slice of black forest cake was so moist and flavorful, but not overwhelmingly sweet or rich. The curry pork bun was delicious and not oozing with grease. The coffee sponge cake was so soft and springy, even after 2 days of sitting on the counter. I will definitely be back soon to try their other offerings. Oh, did I mention how cheap it was? Most items are about $1.15-1.35, the fancier items are $3. Totally worth the drive to Chinatown! read more

Six Ping Bakery - Half eaten rose coconut bun - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Bought a few things from here: Mango mousse: not very mango-y, still good. Not too sweet. Green tea cake: amazing. I love green tea anything and this hit the spot. Pinapple cookie: P E R F E C T. Just like they make in China. Taro bread: also very delicious. The inside has the perfect amount of taro filling and the bread is really good as well; it doesn't just taste like boring old bread. Coconut/custard bread (?): I don't remember what this was supposed to be but the filling tasted very custard-y. Either way, I liked it. Durian cupcake: very... accurate taste. Definitely interesting in a good way, and I wouldn't mind eating it again. All of this cost less than $12, which is insanely amazing. I like this place. read more

I go to six ping all the time but this location is horrible service. She tried rushing us out when we paid. We stepped in the store at 4:45 and we knew they close at 5pm. But we knew what we want, so made it quick within 5minutes. There were 4 people came in after us. The order was $4.50. I gave her $5 and told her I have 50 cents. The old lady told me "no, I don't want too many cents" and lay 50 cents on the table for me. It's not a big deal but what is it? What kind of business that doesn't take a quarter? And she rushed me out. She didn't want a quarter and she forced us to take the quarters from her???!!! If she didn't want a quarter, she should have sold the item at $5, not $4.50 and denied the quarters from us. There are 4 other people behind me still thinking what to order. It didn't sound like she could close the store after rushing me out. I loves six ping but definitely not this one. Bad altitude, bad service I've ever had. This cashier is really rude. Please read these comment before you come here because this cashier will treat you like you get foods for free. There a six ping across the street, or there other 2 six ping are within 3 mins drive read more

This store smells and makes me feel quisey. I don't care to buy bread from this store.

I usually go to Six Ping near Cafe 101 but saw this location, so I decided to take a look. Everything went well, breads are basically same as other locations. However, when I went to check out, the lady at the cashier was being rude. There was a white family before me. She smiled a lot and kept saying thank you for visiting her store. And then when I came to check out, her attitude completely changed. She grabbed my breads and then say something in Chinese. I was confused at first and kept looking at her. She repeated it one more time and that's time I could guess that she gave me total price. But obviously I didn't understand what she said. Then a young man showed up, maybe her son. He said sorry to me and let me know how much they were. Since it was such a bad impression, I don't think I would ever come back again. I should just visit my favorite Six Ping store near Cafe 101!!! read more

Everything we had there was amazing (and we tried a lot...). Tastes just like in Taiwan. We bought enough to feed an army and was already back the next day for more. These cookies with the almond crisp in the middle?? Omg. To. Die. For. read more

I was out hanging with one of my Asian friends on Saturday and we ended up need 6 Ping. We were on the beltway and she had hey we're by Dun Huang I want to go to 6 ping. I'm like girl I don't want to play no ping pong lets keep going. As she exited she explained that it was Asian bakery I had to try. On my first visit there I was spoiled because we arrived super early and had our pick of every item and we're the only people in the store. I basically got what she suggested and OMG this is where my love for Asian desserts began. I've had the sponge cakes (I've also heard someone call them Vietnamese cupcakes.) The chocolate was my favorite but vanilla was good also. My other favorite item are the small oval cheese cakes. Everything is so light and airy with an ever so mild sweetness. Its a welcome break from the overly sweet American desserts. My second visit was at 1PM and not only was the place teeming but they were out of several items. They were shelling them out as fast as they could be just couldn't keep up with the revolving door of patrons so arrive early. The place itself is no frills and I don't think the cashier said one word either time I visited. They not rude, more so extremely timid. But with bakery items like that who cares part and parcel. read more

WHERE DO I BEGIN. First of all, my love and appreciation for bakeries (of the sweet and non-sweet) is immense. Six Ping definitely met all of my expectations for an Asian (Chinese? Taiwanese?) bakery. Their breads are soft (hopefully meaning they are freshly baked) and the textures are just right. The ratio of filling to dough (especially for their Taro buns) are just right. They so far have the best sponge cake that I've been able to find in Houston's Chinatown. The prices are incredibly cheap considering the quality and freshness of their products. Their bread selection is enormous considering the small size of the store, and they have all their basic breads down to a T. I know my family in particular are not a fan of super super sweet desserts, so Six Ping's level of sweetness if very suiting for someone who can't stand too much sugar. I want to actually give 4.5 stars, because they aren't perfect. The Durian sponge cake, although really able to deliver the Durian flavor, seems a little fake (aka they most likely use a flavoring instead of the real Durian, I think). Their decorative kid appealing breads (like the really cute crab or turtle shaped ones) are really dry and lack flavor. In other words, if you're here, I would go for the basics (i.e. the red bean bun, the taro bun, the bo-lo bun). Some of their more exciting items are really great too, but buy those experimentally (and not in bulk) unless you're absolutely sure they're super good - which, hey, given Six Ping's reputation, may just be the case. :) read more

Six Ping Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

The bread I got is just so-so. Kinda like dinner rolls with a little bit extra. Nothing glorifyingly good. Service was horrible. The girl didn't even say hi when my husband and I came in. I had this feeling that she was being rude since we don't speak Chinese. When I got to the counter and pulled out my card she tells me in these exact words, "Oh, we only take cash (with that hint of haughtiness in her tone)." Luckily my husband happened to have $5 on him. It would be so much better if they just posted outside their door that they only accept cash. That way people won't bother coming in and give them the business that this bakery doesn't want. read more

I stopped coming to six ping 2 years ago because the bread seemed dry compared to another Asian bakery but now their bread is so much better! Excellent even! I'm really pleased I gave it another try. I love all the mochi breads, red bean bread and tiger roll cake. I'll be back for sure. read more

This little bakery is great. They had a wide assortment of different kinds of pastries and sweets. They had both savory and sweet pastries. I've only tried the sweet selections and they were all great. They're all reasonable in price and taste great. I only had one problem in that the labelling of the different pastries were difficult to determine which was which because there would be two different kinds of pastries on one tray and it is hard to tell which one is which since they aren't individually labelled and customers would put the pastries back on the wrong shelf. I would visit this place again. Oh, and cash only. read more

I was to excited to finally come in and try this place but all turned to down hill when the front lady was being rude to my friend when we only asked a question about a pastry. Not only that but a cheese cake in the refrigerator was covered in ants. She was rude telling us to hurry up and buy something because it was 15 minutes till close. I'm really disappointed in this place and wish no one wastes their time here. I wouldn't even bring my worst enemy here. read more

Beautiful cakes and yummy desserts. The cakes are all very light and fluffy/spongey. Items are always fresh and selection is usually outstanding. They usually have a great variety of cakes for sale in the refrigerated case. You can also place an order. I have found that I'm not a big fan of durian. The clerks always warned me that "it's a little bit stinky, but sweet," but I finally decided I just needed to try it for myself. The smell is kind of chemical-like or petrol-like and not a stink smell like bad food or gross. The taste wasn't bad, but the smell was just too much for me to handle when putting in my mouth. The cheese cakes had a strange texture and weren't terribly sweet -- not a fan. My favorites are the tiramisu -- not a true tiramisu, but more of a custard with cake; the almond crispy cookies; and the puff pastry cookies (all pictured). I also love the mango cake and any of the small single-serving items in the refrigerated case. read more

Okay, so the problem is: when baked items are reasonably priced I tend to stock up. Not crazy stock up, like there's a Hurricane entering the Gulf stock up, but rather a vast swath of variety stock up. Like a cornucopia or a buffet. I have lots of freezer space, so I'll generally freeze most of the baked items, then when I need a bit of a pick-me-up, let whatever it is sit on the counter for a spell (five minutes), then devour. Not directly on the counter, on a cute little plate which is sitting on the counter. My problem with Six Ping is that I didn't get enough blueberry cream buns. It's a mixture of cream cheese and blueberries that was piped into a giant bun. I only got one; I should have gotten the entire tray. It's giant, like a mini-bun pie, so it lasted me for a few days. Really, I should stop there. That's all you really need. There were a large number of items with western flavors and fruits (aforementioned awesome bun, almond, cinnamon roll, brownie sandwiches, and so on), but with an twist. Mainly the style and the breading. I got an assortment of things, but really the only ones worth mentioning were the blueberry cream buns and the red bean buns (with black sesame seeds on top). What didn't I like? Ha! It's hit or miss this whole grab a tray and create your cornucopia of goodies. Just go. You'll grab some winners and some losers. It's like going to a panaderia, talking to people at a networking event, or getting drunk and buying random songs "you have to listen to right now!!!" off of Amazon. Do try the blueberry concoction, it's like the Electric Avenue of Six Ping. read more

I've never visited Hong Kong but it rates as one of the most densely populated places on Earth. Broom closets in America are veritable palaces compared to some of the teensy-tiny shoeboxes that pass for housing there. This place is tiny as noted in other reviews. But, it may be "palatial" in Chinese bakery measurements, clocking in at around 100 square feet. I lucked out and visited on a quiet Fifth of July (no mobs).* The bakery goods are on the perimeter shelves with a center double rack island. Each item is individually wrapped - the prices seem a bit higher than other places but, after sampling the goods, are reasonable. I tried out the coconut and cheese topped bread ($1.25) and the raisin bread with dry cream item ($1.25). The coconut and cheese bread was an interesting taste combination - I figured that, since I like each component, I'd like the blend. I was right. The coconut lost its taste punch to the cheese as I wolfed down the serving but it was still good. It reminded me of a Filipino pastry called ensaymada. The raisin bread with dry cream was not such a winner; it had an interesting orange glaze on it but the dry cream was half true to its name: dry and powdery, it didn't have much of a creamy flavor. I ate it over the sink since the powdery filling was getting everywhere and the last thing I wanted besides a bland experience was having to clean up after it. Overall, Six Ping is cutesy, tiny, and welcoming but the jury is still out on the pastry since they are only batting .500 with me. I'll give them another chance. * While there were no mobs, I still am amazed at how my people are such bad drivers. On the way home, an Asian lady was driving her minivan so slowly - she definitely wasn't "driving it like she stole it." Heck, she was driving it like she had a heavy mortgage on it. read more

This was our first team here and they had so many different desserts and breads that we didn't know what to get. Everything looked good. Our desserts were perfect!!! My cake so was soft and moist without being overly sweet like some places. My husband had a Oreo mousse that was decorated like a mushroom. It looked good and tasted good. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

Coming here is like the Asian version of going to Willy Wonka's Chocoloate Factory or a zoophilia going to a farm. Everything looks, smells and tastes great! Of late, they've significantly raised their prices by 10-20%; which may sound a lot, but on relative terms, it's like $0.20 per item. You, the consumer, get the last laugh. Hahaha! They've also expanded their cake selections. Everyone has their own preference, so it's hard to say what you should get, everything is so delicious! When in doubt of what to buy, buy all of it! 7 items will cost ~$10 (that's how much a martini goes for at the Four Seasons). Conclusion: If you have a carb fix (bread or cake), this is the place you want to be. It's affordable, clean and delicious. Watch out Jungle Cafe, Six Ping is coming for you! See below for supplemental info: - Price: Dirty cheap ($1.00+ per item). CASH ONLY. - Atmosphere: The store is probably 300 square feet. It can get super crowded (be careful where you're walking, you may step on a child) Big turnoffs: - Parking is tough on weekends, especially with Asian drivers trying to kill you with their Lexus. Traaaash.... - Parents will bring their kids in the crowded store. WHY?!?! read more

I'm only a fan for certain products that they have. But the majority of the items they offer is just.. mediocre? Whenever I bite into their bread, it feels like I'm eating something that's meant for a long shelf life. It doesn't taste as fresh as it could be, and it taste mass produced for a small bakery down in Chinatown. Although many of their products taste like that, I do think that there are some that are worth trying (like some of their less sweet pastries). read more

I've always wondered about this place when I am grabbing my sammiches from Don's. Actually, I wonder a lot about the entire strip center. I finally went to Six Ping and the place is busy. As soon as you walk in, you notice all the cute pastries everywhere and the customers! This little bakery is..little. Maybe that's why it looked busy? I like that this place has young employees who work the front..just in case you have any questions about this and that... The pastries are the typical kind I usually find at an Asian bakery..but more Chinese influenced... Sweet and savory bread Jambon and green onion bread bread that are shaped like farm animals Hello Kitty Cakes Durian Cupcakes Rice cakes in Lotus leaf Almond bread Almond cakes Peanut cake Pork stuffed bread Angel food cake I loved everything I bought...let's just say they do not skimp on the butter here...it's what a pastry should be...rich and buttery but light at the same time. read more

Taiwanese breakfast?! In Houston?! In the words of Kevin Sumlin, YESSIR. I wouldn't suggest going to Six Ping Tres (the third in the chain) without a native speaker. But if you can scrounge one of those up, the breakfast options are legit and reminds me of our go-to spot just blocks from my grandmother's place in Taipei. The first two Six Ping's are pastry-only, but this location ups the game by adding hot foods that are typically found in Taiwan joints specializing in a good hearty early morning meal. I'm talking lo baak gou (Taiwanese-style turnip cake), dan bing (Taiwanese pancake with egg), you tiao (Chinese doughnut), and dou jiang (soy milk), as well as some lunchable foods like niu rou mien (beef noodle soup), lu rou fan (braised pork belly rice), and xiao long bao (soup dumplings). The menu is ridiculously difficult to read since the English translation is basically worthless (hence the need for a native speaker). But if you can navigate that field, the delicious reward at the end is well worth the pain. read more

My parents always get cakes from here, and I never thought much of it. But I ordered a cake to bring to my workplace, and it was absolutely life changing. Because mangos are in season right now, I ordered the cake that had sliced pieces of mango around the outside of the vanilla cake. As for the fillings, I chose to go with the egg pudding and more mangos. I picked up the cake and the smell of light vanilla cake and fresh mangos were just spilling out from the box. When we opened it, it so wonderfully decorated topped with an assortment of fruits and two small macaroons. It was absolutely beautiful. It tasted even better than it looked or smell. The vanilla cake wasn't that sweet and the frosting on top was light which fit well with the refreshing mango and egg pudding. Definitely one of the best cakes I've ever had in my history of cakes. Next time, I'm always going to order cake from here no matter what. The breads are also extremely cheap, yet extremely high quality. You absolutely cannot go wrong with it! The one thing that does stand out to me (besides the cake) are the gigantic macaroons sitting at the front. They're 2/$4! That's such a steal! Other places you're paying $3-$4 for tiny macaroons! I have not tried them yet, but I definitely will in the future. read more

Six Ping Bakery sets itself apart from the existing Chinese bakeries in Bellaire Chinatown by wrapping up their pastries and breads really nicely in crispy cellophane and selling a huge variety of pastries, many being variations of each other. For instance, they might add cheese and/or nuts to many common Chinese pastries and sell them in separate display cases. Six Ping's pleasant smell of pastries reminds me the most of bakeries in Taiwan. Few of the bakeries in Houston have that awesome smell. The store is really small--a rectangle with layers of display cases around the outer wall and a middle aisle also loaded with levels of display cases. I prefer not to buy pastries here because their prices are a little higher. Something about 85 cents at other bakeries might cost $1.xx here. However, the few pastries I've had here are tasty and my Mother's friend shops here regularly. The last time I came here, about a month ago, it seemed quite popular--one of the more popular places in this part of the Diho Square shopping center. Six Ping Bakery is located in the left half of Diho Square, along the West Wall. The store faces the east. Customers come in and out quickly. read more
