When I think about what best exemplifies my taste of childhood, I think of Sheng Kee. I always…read moreloved their pastries as a kid, and going to Marina Food was always made more exciting when my parents would let me pick out one to take home for breakfast the next morning (usually it ended up being the coconut cream pastry). Even as I grew older, I never grew out of combing through their catalogue of delightful egg tarts and sweet and savory buns. The experience I'm speaking about today pertains to their custom cake order. You will likely need to speak Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese for this. I ordered a 1/2 sheet cake for my party of approximately 20 people, and we had almost half of the cake left over to spare! To be fair, I did give a much more generous estimate (I mentioned that there would be around 20-30 people attending my party). Definitely would've downsized had I known everyone's appetite would be so small. The ladies working there will let you know which size is best for your party. The cake was gigantic, and made in my favorite flavor (their mango mousse) with my birthday message written atop it in red and white icing. I loved everything about it! They're generous with the pickup process, you can definitely arrive after the time you specified for picking up. Everything went very smoothly, my friends were surprised that the cake was so delicious and many had never even had a mango flavored cake to begin with either! The creamy rich mousse layers complement the spongey cake perfectly. It was $135 total, but if you get their regular fruit cream cake, it'll be cheaper than if you pick a specialty cake (their tiramisu, passionfruit, etc).

I wanted to come one last time before they officially close on Sunday, October 5th…read more Both the Cupertino and Dublin locations will be closing, but the manager told me that their Los Angeles locations will remain open. I've come occasionally from time to time to pick up an item or two, usually their sponge cake. People also really love their breads and their whole cakes. I came one last time because I realized I actually never tried their mooncakes. Honestly, it was just ok. The pastry part was a bit dry. They're shipped from Asia. Turns out I don't think I was missing out as far as their mooncakes. I will miss their sponge cakes though. Always soft and fresh. Not overly huge like a lot of other places. They also sell out really fast. Workers here have always been pleasant. Take out only. No seating area.

Stopped by today for a pork floss bun, cocktail bun, and the Soypresso Black Sesame Soy Milk…read more They're the only ones I know of in the area that sell Soypresso. Guess I'll have to go to Soypresso directly next time. I spoke with an employee today who told me that the owner was retiring and they're going to close permanently on Oct 6th. So unfortunate that no one is going to take over the business. Love everything I've ever had here. They've got a ton of mooncakes prepping for mid-Autumn festival. Will miss having this bakery around!

Someone from the cafe, who was not the cashier that rang us up, walked over and told us we need to leave as we couldn't have outside food. I mentioned that we just purchased pastries from you not 2min ago. But we left anyway, because we felt unwelcome. The table next to us didn't purchase food from them and were eating out of their own lunchbox, but were not given this same treatment. We are regulars at this library and have patronized this cafe numerous times over the years. This is our first negative experience where we felt unfairly treated, especially compared to the table next to us. The cafe lady that confronted us should've did so to the table next to us too. Or she could've asked us to put away the food that wasn't from them, so that other patrons don't get confused. Or, she should give us the option to refund our pastries since we didn't get to eat them yet, as we had just sat down, after purchasing it.

Traditional bagels are made in-house with a fair amount of variety. Bagels are well suited for sandwiches as they are not tough, but rather crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making a great vessel for a sandwich. We ordered the Lux and egg salad bagels. As pictured, I have never seen such generous lux portions. This is a grab-and-go place, since most of the seating is outside with a few stools inside.

When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. I also had a very specific vision for my wedding cake - I wanted a detailed three-tier cake with buttercream vintage flowers. We also ordered a plain sheet cake with the same flavors to ensure that we had enough slices for our guests. I worked with Fariba during the ordering process and they were great. I am truly still SHOCKED at how beautiful the cake was and how it matched the inspo photo perfectly. It was a showstopper and extremely delicious. See the photo for details! We got the cake topper from etsy :)

This was my first visit, and I picked up a choux pastry and a full size round cake…read more The choux pastry was surprisingly good. It was covered in chocolate and filled with custard, and it was just the right sweetness and not too sweet. The size was pleasing, and the custard filling was good. The cake was not enjoyable; to be fair, this might or might not be due to personal taste. It was a 3-layer vanilla cake filled with lemon mousse, covered in buttercream and white chocolate bark pieces, and topped with 10 blueberries. This flavor can be found on their website catalog. I don't know if this is typical for this bakery, but the cake was heavy, claggy on the bottom, and way too sweet. The lemon mousse tasted incredibly strange, as if it were artificial or maybe had some kind of herb or weird flavoring added. The less said about the cream, the better. The white chocolate was quite good though. I saw they had a wide variety of cake offerings, but I don't think I'd want cake from here again. I might get the choux pastry again.
