The best cheese foam in town. It took me a while to be willing to try cheese foam. It was gaining popularity, but I was never willing to try it. One day, I did try it, and Happy Lemon inside this Sunmerry makes it consistently good every time. You don't need a straw, because you drink it out of the cup. The best way to get some foam and tea. It's #1 on their menu and it is my go to drink, 30% sweet. Their other drinks are good too. Get a stamp card and pick up some baked goods! Busy plaza but there's parking. read more

Sunmerry Bakery - Their #1 drink jasmine green tea with salted cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

They don't do decaf which is kind of weird. The Mochi donut was chewy but felt like it was a day old. The advertised flavor was churro but there wasn't much cinnamon or sugar topping tbh. The Nutella bolo bun was unique, but I didn't taste any bolo flavor. The Nutella was the main flavor, so it really was just a Nutella filled pastry. The bread and the drink were pretty pricey and mediocre. read more

I had an amazing experience at Sunmerry Bakery in Irvine. The service was fantastic and I especially want to note two workers who made my time in Sunmerry amazing. Thank you so much to Kyle and Andy for providing brilliant and efficient service to me when my schedule was already tight. I ordered two things: the nutella cookie bun and salted cream green tea. I was speechless by the perfect sweetness and how moist the cookie bun was and oh my god dont get me started on the salted green tea otherwise this review would be longer than my masters essay!!! The salted green tea at sunmerry might be the best thing i have ever ingested. Everything about it was perfect and the drink was delivered to me in a couple minutes after i placed my order. Even with a packed bakery, these two employees in particular, Kyle and Andy, served me with such swiftness and enthusiasm. I love this place and will definitely be coming back often!!! read more

This cute little shop has really good thai tea, and strawberry milk! Tammy the waitress & barista always has a smile on her face 10/10 service. Their raisen breads are good but dont sleep on their strawberry ice box cake!!! read more

Nice variety of bakery bread and other pastries. Soft and fluffy when they're brought out fresh in the AM. Haven't had their cakes, but they look pretty good. Would be back to try them. Only downside is perhaps it's paired with Happy Lemon for drinks which is only average here. read more

I came here yesterday to pick up a cake for my mom. I came close to closing and they didn't have the original cake I was going to get. I decided to get the taro pudding cake instead. It tasted great! My mom loved it. She said "it was not too sweet" like other bakeries. I would try other cakes from here for future birthdays. read more

Pro: The best way to get diabetes, brown sugar explosion, great service up to closing time. Con: You will get diabetes. Have been coming here for easy ice, easy sugar milk tea for years along some random baked goods to pass out to clients. The reason I am finally reviewing this place is because I popped up last one night after work, literally 5 minutes before closing and ask if they could still make me a milk tea. They did, even tho they were cleaning up. Tipped 50% and ran out with tea and bread. I have been to other boba and bread shop that won't bother with making things last minute, bravo on the service. read more

Bought a taro pudding cake at noon for birthday party that night. Ate cake at 8:00 pm and crunch, ice in the pudding part. That's terrible. It's frozen cakes that they are selling. Not fresh. For $40, can't you provide fresh cakes? Very disappointed. Also, even after the ice melted, the cake tasted stale and really not worth the calories. read more

Overall 4.5 stars It's not a large bakery so may have to call in if you're looking for a cake. It's next to A&J so it's very easy to spot. Just the Plaza right across from 99 ranch. 8" Berry mousse cake - delicious. Flavourful and not too sweet. The chocolate sponge helps balance. It's more raspberry flavor than strawberry. Breads - Tried the purple yam bread and the multigrain and cranberry. Purple yam filling is decent and not too sweet. The bread on the multigrain with cranberry is too gummy. I prefer the 85c more. Happy lemon: salted cheese black tea 0 sugar is great! read more

Went to Sunmerry for a birthday cake today. The staff was super friendly. I bought a 6in Strawberry Custard cake. Loved how it was packaged! The box came with plates, little forks and candles! The strawberries were rotten. The cake and custard part was ok, but the fruit was awful. Really disappointed! This is probably why they had a 20% discount on it, but the staff assured me they were made the night before. read more

went to sunmerry to pick up the taro cake for a birthday and it was not too bad but also wouldn't be something I would purchase again. it may have been more of a texture thing in which I wasn't expecting real taro chunks to be incorporated into the cake. typically I'm a huge fan of taro whether it be real or artificial but this cake just wasn't satisfying enough for me. read more

When I used to go in the office, pre-COVID, my usual stops for a quick breakfast were 7 Leaves + Sunmerry. Both are just few steps away from each other at the Jeffrey/Walnut location. They have so many pastry options, from sweet to savory. They also have cakes. Last year, this is where I got my niece's birthday cake, and she absolutely loved it! Their pastries are great, some are not-so, but for the most part, it's delicious. They bake it fresh right when they open in the morning. So, I recommend coming in early if you want freshly baked goods. Some of my favorite pastries from here are: Custard Bun, Taro Bun, and Shredded Pork Bun. I've also tried their savory buns with meat inside, and those I did not like. I prefer their sweet dessert treats over their savory ones. I've also tried their egg tarts and they were equally just as good as the ones from JJ Bakery. Not quite as good as the ones from Paderia, but good enough if you get the egg tart cravings. One thing I really appreciate about this place is that they make their pastries/cakes with the perfect level of sweetness, especially their cakes. It is light and not overly sweetened. Additionally, the frosting is also mild and NOT overwhelmingly filled with sugar. I got the Strawberry Vanilla last time, and the strawberries were fresh. The whipped cream and frosting were creamy and tasty. Overall, I no longer come here daily, but I still stop by every time I'm in the area and for birthday cakes. read more

Cake selection here is mediocre. Nothing eye captivating and the service was a bit slow while there was no other customer in the shop.

I came here recently after a delicious dinner at A & J. My parents enjoy the bread selection here, but I was more interested to try Happy Lemon! I've heard so many things about Salted Cheese Tea for the longest time but was a little weirded out by the concept. How would cheese taste good with tea? Well Salted Cheese Tea now has a new a convert! I ordered an Green Tea with Salted Cheese (50% sugar) and was pleasantly surprised by the price (around $4 I think?). I ordered it with the special lid instead of a straw to have the full 45 degree experience. I love how they have instructions next to the counter about how to enjoy the drink. Basically, you're supposed to drink your tea at a 45 degree angle so you get some of that salted cheese foam with the tea. After a few minutes, my drink was ready. One sip and I was impressed! The salted cheese wasn't very salty - it tasted more creamy than anything. Similar to the foam on fancy coffee drinks, the creamy flavor of the salted cheese offset the tea flavor very well. I'm glad the 50% sweetness was very lightly sweetened, so I could enjoy the creaminess of the salted cheese. While Salted Cheese Tea won't replace my forever fave boba drink (Lychee Green Tea), I'm officially on the bandwagon for this new trend! If you're on the fence, definitely try it! read more

Old Jamie used to come through for croissants and maybe a cake every now and then, but new Jamie has expanded her horizons. I've recently become obsessed with their savory selections and my recent discovery for Honey Lemon's salted cheese foam drinks has gotten me addicted! And it's crazy to think this just happened about a month ago, haha. My coworker actually introduced me to Honey Lemon and their salted cheese foam. It's very similar to the trending salted milk foam or sea salt topping at a lot of tea places. I had to try it, so I went the Black Tea with Salted Cheese. What an astounding flavor! A week later, my friend was visiting from San Diego and was raving about the taro mochi bread. Unfortunately, the day we went, they ran out since they were near closing at that time. So, I kept that in mind for this weekend since I was in the area. Boyfriend was picking something up at Lollicup, so I strolled in to try the Salted Cheese Coffee. On the Saturday I arrived, they had the taro mochi bread, so I picked one up. I also have a weird habit of never walking out with just ONE bread, so the shiitake mushroom cheese breadstick really caught my attention. The next day, we found ourselves in the same area to visit the same locations - Lollicup & Sunmerry. This time, I picked up 2 taro mochi breads and 2 shiitake mushroom, plus a Light Oolong salted cheese. Obsessed? Just a little. Will I be back? Of course...gotta try all the salted cheese forms, but as of right now, the black tea wins! read more

Cutest little bakery! I discovered this place by chance, because they are by 7 leaves, and I wanted to check it out. I'm SO in love with their Pineapple Tarts!! I've been trying to match the ones I bought in Hawaii, and Sunmerry is the closest match. The setup is exactly like 85 Degrees. You get your tray, pick your pastries and go! The almond shortbread cookies are the BEST with hot coffee or tea. I bought my son the custard angel cake, it's wrapped in cute safari animal paper. The cake was surprisingly delicious! I also liked that it wasn't TOO sweet! The custard inside was light as well. Next to the bakery side they have a boba station where they make milk teas. I read a sign saying they have their famous "Cheese Foam" milk tea, been dying to try it! Customer service is always great! The cashiers get you in and out very quickly, and the pastries are always nicely wrapped. For Christmas, I bought my managers some Pineapple pastries as little gifts, and they wrapped them so elegantly! Definitely will be back!! read more

I've been coming to Sunmerry for their breads and fresh lemon series ever since they've been in Irvine but never got to writing a review! My go-to's have been their classic bolo (the best I've ever had!) and their chicken cheddar (so filling!). The blueberry scones, shiitake mushroom cheese and garlic parsley breads are also family favorites! Usually you can't really go wrong with any item at Sunmerry but I would not recommend the Dalgona. It wasn't anything particularly special but I guess you get what you pay for. At most it's a good way to get your dalgona fix without the arm work out. read more

Sunmerry Bakery has multiple locations. I've been to one other. We've tried their boba milk tea and some pastries. And quiet honestly, they are a knock off and not as good. Their milk tea is ordinary. Nothing to say about it as it wasn't bad but nothing disguishing. So, if you're looking for ordinary, here's the place. However, the pastries I think you may skip. As most knock-offs, they don't have the same standards as the original. I'd go to the original. read more

It was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back. The staff was playful, helpful and my family and I were super happy with their suggestions.

Cake: 4.25/5 Price: 4.5/5 Rounded to 5 b/c my grandmother approved Note: I am currently eating a leftover slice of the taro cake for inspiration. Dropped by this bakery to pick up a birthday cake. The bakery is pretty small, but they also serve Happy Lemon inside whoo hoo! I came here primarily for the cakes which were beautiful and reasonably priced. We picked up the taro cake and it was solid! The whipped cream was light and there a layer of pudding and a layer of taro paste! The actual cake itself seemed like a vanilla sponge cake, it was just a tad dry perhaps because it was baked the day before, but still good! My family said it was good and "NOT TOO SWEET" which is equivalent to loving it. I would definitely come back again to pick up cakes or bread! TIP: If there is a specific cake that you want, I recommend calling or ordering online to make sure it's available. COVID 19: They have hand sanitizer by the door and limit the number of customers inside to 3 people, so the line looks long outside the door, but it's not too bad. They also have a toilet paper cake that you can pre-order har har. read more

Another of the growing list of Asian bakeries gaining in popularity here in Southern California. What is unique about this location (as well as two of its LA locations in Monterey Park and Temple City) is its partnership with Happy Lemon Tea House, which occupies half the store space. Sunmerry Bakery has over 80 breads and cakes baked fresh daily. They are popular for their green tea croissant and chashu pork bolo buns. Happy Lemon, Home of the Salted Cheese Tea, specializes in freshly brewed black and green teas with an optional add-on salted cheese topping. The salted cheese topping is a unique blend of whipped cream cheese and rock salt that is suppose to enhance the sweet flavors of the tea and other boba drinks by giving them a subtle hint of salt. Like all Asian bakeries, there are some clear hit-and-misses. I did enjoy the subtlety of the green tea croissant and washing it down with a refreshing, iced black tea with real lemon slices. My only complaint would be that they do not remove the seeds from the lemon slices while they add them to your drink. BEST BETS: custard Danish roll, green tea croissant, iced black tea with lemon slices. read more

We tried the Jasmine Green Tea and we fell in love. Son loved the hot dog bread. We would come back.

This is the 'real' Summery Bakery! What I mean is that their location in Rowland Heights offers the same general menu but only a small fraction of the delicacies. Thus, when in Irvine, consider loading up on those salivatory gland inducers known as ham and cheese rolls (which really resemble croissants). The line,was fairly long on a Sunday evening. We arrived only intending to get drinks but grabbed snacks for coming days. Too bad it was so hot, otherwise we'd have considered some ice cream options. New items were being brought out as we waited to order, so despite some bins being unused it is evident they have and expect very high volume. Those cakes in the display? I want to dive into a whole pile of them sometime!!! Fantastic craftsmanship and exsquisite flavors and visual appearance. See pics. I enjoyed my drink so much it was gone before I knew it. No seating or room for seating inside but we grabbed a couple of the outside chairs to enjoy our beverages. Their house lemon concoction is highly recommended. read more

Cakes that they have daily and you can run in to pick up are now more expensive because of Mother's Day. The employees are not very friendly. They all run to take your order but service just isn't great. I also asked for extra plates and was told that there were 12 included. There were NOT 12 plates. I was going to pick up some pastries and coffee but no thank you. I will not be shopping here any longer. The small store is busy and I felt very rushed and left disappointed. read more

It's nice that they're taking covid precautions like only allowing 3 customers inside at a time, but their system sucks. When you order a drink, they ask you to wait outside so other customers can come in. No one notifies you when your drinks are ready. After waiting over 10 minutes, I finally checked to see that they have just been sitting on the counter the whole time. There were other people waiting in line to go inside, so it didn't make sense for me to keep popping in to check on my order. How are you gonna ask people to wait outside and just place the order on the counter quietly? My wife also had the same experience when calling in an order. When she went to pick it up, there were already people waiting in line with only 3 allowed inside. So are you supposed to wait in line just to pick up an order? Are you supposed to just go inside and make the 3 at a time rule worthless? Idiotic. This system sucks and doesn't work if no one is going to manage it. Drinks are good tho. read more

First I must credit 85degrees for putting Asian Bakery on the map in the OC. It was the first time I felt I could substitute the traditional dozen donuts with the less sweet, better breakfast option for folks to try and love. Since 85degrees many smaller Mom and pop bakeries has emerged and I'm my opinion, Sunmerry has perfected it. This is now my go to Asian bakery. Prices are comparable but quality and taste exceeds. It's not as crowded to get to either. My absolute absolute favorite pastry here is the BBQ pork. It's simply the best I've ever had and my go to whenever I think of BBQ pork bun. It's a must try if your a fan of Chinese BBQ pork. read more

What the hell kind of bait and switch tactic is this? The package say 50% off. I go to pay for 1 package and I was charged for 2 ($4.50 each). Cashier said because the package has 2 cakes inside so I have to pay for 2 ($9) and they take 50% off. Oh, the sticker price is $4.50 on the shelf, so you think you are buying it for $2.25. Honestly not about the price. I pay over $25 any time I come here. The underhanded sales tactic is unethical read more

I first found out about this place when I was in the San Gabriel Valley and was happy when I found another location closer to where I live. I have purchased birthday cakes, mochi donuts, iced coffees, and bread from here before. To my surprise, they have all been good and just the right balance of ingredients. I love the green tea croissant and taro mochi bread the most. Their iced caramel macchiato is quite nice too. The staff is nice and the area is clean each time I visit.

Sunmerry Bakery brings together two of the best things in life: carbs and milk tea. The only downside to having both is having the sweets and then drinking the milk tea which you adjusted the sugar level. The milk tea or just tea tastes so plain and bland after having all those sweet desserts so I recommend eating something savory or enjoying them separately. Earl grey croissant: 3.5/5 The earl grey flavor was very mild, coupled with a somewhat dry and hard croissant.. I would skip it next time. Tuna & egg french toast sandwich: 4/5 This was a very interesting item. The sweetness from the french toast actually works very well with the savory components of the tuna, egg and mayo. You'd be surprised. Try it out for yourself. Green tea donut cake: 4/5 Moist, light, and spongy even after 3 days old. The chocolate chips make it just sweet enough to enjoy. Pork sung bun: 5/5 Very tasty meat. The bread is soft and fluffy. Probably one of the best pork sung buns I've had. Matcha Pumpkin Danish: 4/5. Such an interesting combo but it surprisingly works well. The danish itself is buttery and flakey. Although paired with the light matcha coating, it's perfection. The pumpkin on the inside adds a creamy sweet potato-like texture. Ube danish: 5/5 This was by far my favorite. The bread is slightly sweetened, soft, and on the inside, theres a real heaping of steamed ube. Prices are really reasonable and most of the items we had were enjoyable. Parking is plentiful as it is located in a large parking lot. I'm not sure why other Yelpers had said parking was a pain. I went on a Sunday afternoon around 3 pm and there was plenty of parking. Customer service is sweet and efficient. I would definitely come back for more baked goods if I'm in the area. read more

This "sniffed in" at 3.75 stars... The wife brought me home a ALMOND CROISSANT which was poofy and airy. It had a very light sweetness to it with no almond paste being visible. It had a light flakiness, very light. There was a very light garnishing of sliced toasted almonds. RATING = B read more

I am still waiting my refund!!! FAKE AD for Fathers day banana cake in Irvine Sunmerry!!! I placed an order of the fathers day cake through the online. Everything went through well. I even had a confirmation e-mail from Sunmerry. But about 30min later got call from Sunmerry in Irvine and saying that it was website mistake that the order went through even though they do not have the fathers day banana mouse cake. A guy asked me if I can order something else or refund. So I told him refund asap. He said ok. But there is no refund. They charged right away even it was their mistake. But no refund quickly??? It is crazy! If it is website mistake, then they should fix right away otherwise should not take an order or refund fast as they charge quickly. I wish I can give this place -5 star if I can. read more

So, on the way home I stopped by at Sunmerry, Irvine. I got 2 pork sung breads, bbq bread and a drink. It was a long drive back home so I started eating one of the pork sung. First few bites were okay. Then it started to get hard to chew so I grabbed a drink to be able to swallow it. Then again, it felt really weird like chewing something but couldn't cut it, so I spit out and found some paper in that bite. I thought I ate the wrapper that comes with the bread. But then realized this bread doesn't come with the wrapper! So I checked back at the bread and found a big piece of paper still in there... and I already ATE HALF OF THE BREAD. I had to drive back to let the store know this issue.... like I said earlier it a long drive back home... :( and now I had to drive TWICE... I talked to the manage. He apologized for what had happened and refunded the previous transaction right away. Unfortunately, those batches of the bread came from another store, weren't baked from this store. He has to contact his boss to get this issue solved. I left my info and he gave his. So hopefully I get to hear back! This really makes me sick. :( I just ate paper...... Well, I still gonna give two stars because this was the first time, at least for me. ‍ And the manager, Roth, took care of the issue really quick and well. Y'LL GOTTA BE CAREFUL WHILE EATING THE BREAD. MAKE SURE TO CUT IT OPEN TO SEE WHATS INSIDE BEFORE CONSUMING IT. read more

I had the worst experience here ordering a cake for my mom's birthday. I ordered an 8 inch taro cake online on Saturday for pickup Sunday. When I picked up the cake, I asked for them to write "happy birthday mom" on it. The cashier had an attitude and told me that customizations had to be requested a few days in advance... I didn't know that writing on the top of an empty cake was considered a customization?? Nowhere in the online description did it say that I had to request ahead of time for them to write on the cake. I thought I would be able to just tell them when I pick it up, because that's what normal bakeries do as it takes less than 5 minutes. On to the actual cake. The inside pudding was frozen. For a cake that's claimed to be made freshly made every day, I don't know how it could be frozen on the inside? It was sitting in the fridge for 7 hours and then at room temp for an hour before being eaten, so there shouldn't have been ice crystals in the cake unless it was frozen from the day prior. Also, in pictures on Yelp, there were fresh fruits on top of the cake. The one I received had 5 blueberries on top of it.. so having fresh fruit is considered a customization too? I don't know why this place has so many good reviews because I never had a worse experience buying a cake. If it tasted good I wouldn't complain as much but it didn't even have that. read more

This is a typical Chinese Bakery with a self-service element where you pick things up on a tray as you tour the store, similar to 85 Degrees and JJ Bakery. I'd say this is A-OKAY, and average, in a good sense of the word, meaning nothing inherently wrong with the pricing, quality or quantity (portions). I'd say I tend to favor some of their before mentioned peer competitors a bit more, but I'd not kick this one out of bed if it was a matter of simple convenience and circumstance. It's worth trying and checking out. Service was friendly. read more

I always get the light oolong cheese tea, but it is inconsistent. When it is done correctly the milk tea is amazing. Sometimes they don't have the right ratio of tea to cheese and it becomes watered down. I like my milk tea to be creamy. The pastries are okay from what I have experienced. I don't usually come for those, but from the looks of it they are pretty popular. They are mostly always gone when I go in the evenings. Overall, Sunmerry is good. I just with they were more consistent with their drinks. read more
