    CASH ONLY
    Katie C.

    CASH ONLY. This bakery has been here for decades since I was a child and still here through all the different market management changes. Not my favorite but convenient if you're already here for the market it's located right by the entrance/exit. The parking is parking lot war during weekends. I only really go in now to grab a rolled cake while leaving the market. They're moist, fluffy and not too sweet. Nothing to complain about. Their curry puffy pastries are flaky and flavorful.

    I literally go here for the specialty bread. It's one of the best baked goods I've ever had and I don't think I've ever come across any other bakeries that can replicate this

    Been going to this bakery since I was a child. Still in disbelief that it's still there after all these years. Ever since I moved out of state, whenever I come home to visit my parents, I always try and come by this bakery to pick up some goodies. My childhood favorite pastry is the mung bean. Normally they would sell out during the mornings, so if you come to this bakery by the afternoon, there is a 50/50 chance they might have it. I was lucky enough to snag 2 when I went home to visit a few days ago. It was also during a work week while everyone was at work. Looking forward to my next visit, the next time I am in town.

    Located across from the pho place inside the plaza. Lots of free plaza parking, however, it gets pretty packed so you may have to circle around quite a bit for a spot. Good selection of pastries and cakes. They even have ice cream cakes! Cash only!! Have not yet tried their cakes, however the pastries were ok. Nothing spectacular but satisfies the sweet cravings. The cheesecake was not that great and a bit of a waste of calories. The ladies working there were very helpful and attentive.

    This bakery always has the most moist cake and it's never too sweet We been coming to this bakery for over 20ys they never fail

    Shelves full of goodies.

    Tanbii is located inside the GW Market plaza. They sell all kinds of traditional Chinese baked goods and cakes. I went into pick up a Chinese cupcake but walked out with a few more things: coconut buns, taro buns, sponge cake, egg tarts and curry pies. Overall the baked items are good, especially the coconut buns. However I would pass on the egg tarts and sponge cake. The sponge cake was so dry, and the egg tart has a strange taste to it, like dirty water or dirty oil? I can't put my finger on it. It's made with a firm shortbread-like crust, rather than the flaky crust I am used to. I ended up tossing it because I didn't want to risk food poisoning. Overall a good place to satisfy your Chinese carb cravings!

    cake rolls
    Veronica C.

    Been coming here since I was a kid! Located in the inside the GW supermarket with plenty of parking in the plaza. Whenever I'm in the area, I love picking up their cake rolls because they make very unique flavors I don't really see often in other Asian bakeries. My favorite flavor is the lemon one! The cake part is basically sponge cake - tastes very moist, soft, and fluffy & the inner cream part - is a subtle layer of lemon flavored icing that isn't too overpowering or sweet 10/10! CASH ONLY!

    Tiny birthday cake - cute and tasty!
    Scarlett H.

    This bakery is down to earth great value! Unlike most high end bakeries in SGV, this bakery has reasonable prices, good quality, and great value. Good varieties and selections but the popular items do sell our near end of day; so I'd recommend come here early or mid day for the good selections. We love their wheat toast (super moist and tasty) and mini birthday cakes (small but full of taste)!

    Taro Cake
    Mishelle H.

    I come to this bakery off, & on for over a decade! Only to get last minute birthday cakes. Preferably Taro being my personal favorite if it happened to be for my birthday! Which was what I got this year the day after last minute cravings. Price definitely went up just like everything else, but it still affordable @ $38. I got my usual Taro cake, & it didn't disappoint I was very happy, & satisfied with my choice. Fresh, & not overly sweet like American cakes. I don't recommend trying to place fancy cake orders.

    Coconut and raisin bread $4.25
    Katy Z.

    I was walking about of the market place when I saw this bakery and figured I'd give it a try since I was a little hungry. After I got in line, there was a large line behind me of at least 4 other customers with only 1 person working the register. I could tell some of them were regulars because of how the cashier treated those customers vs me (who's first time was this encounter). The store is very small but it had a good assortment of breads, sliced and whole, mooncakes since it's the season, cakes (regular versus ice cream). They even sound roll cakes and leaf wrapped rice in the fridge. A little strange on the leaf wrapped rice because it's a bakery but to each their own. I bought coconut raisin bread for $4.25. The bread is fairly large so I didn't think I was getting ripped off for it. The smaller individual breads were already $1.95, so I figured this would be a good choice. The bread had a good amount of raisins on it and you can definitely see the coconut and taste it. However, this bread was way too buttery/oily. I used the bag that it was in to rip a piece off and you can just see all the oil that is coming off of the bread. I'm a bit disappointment to see how much oil there was on it. I've had this bread at different establishments and it was never this oily. Overall, very standard bakery but just too much butter for the liking.

    This tiny bakery is located inside the Great Wall Supermarket. Formerly called Square Market. tip: CASH ONLY! Masks is required! New temporarily business hours! This bakery has been in business all my life! Good price for quality bread! All items are individually packed in plastic bags so no need to worry for COVID19. My mom and I usually like to get their toast. (Egg toast, egg and butter toast) it just taste better than plain white toast. Parking: located in huge plaza so no need to worry about parking spaces.

    Coconut raisin bread $4.25. So big!! Look at comparison to my finger. Like 3-4 bread in 1

    Solid Asian bakery place. This bakery is located inside the plaza with GW supermarket and closes fairly early, 6pm on Sunday and 5pm on other days. Make sure to bring cash because this place is cash only. We went on Sunday 5pm and they don't have that many selection for bread. There are 2 aisle for bread and basically there are only bread on 1 side. Recommend and love love love the coconut raisin bread. Size is very big, like 3-4 regular size bread and only cost $4.25. Worth it!! Flavor-wise is also delicious. Plenty of sweet coconut, they don't skimp, especially in the corners! Also tried the sponge cup cake for $1.95, it's OK. They also have birthday cake selection, rolls, and sliced cake, but we didn't try any. We did see a fat-size durian roll for $11-12, would give this one a try next time (Sunny bakery has it for $15).

    Custard buns and salted egg yolk pineapple cake
    Angela H.

    Came to get a couple of items from this bakery. The egg toast is really soft and slightly sweet. The egg tart has more of a pie crust and the filling is sweet and eggy. Both is tasty.

    poor hand writing on a birthday cake. both english and chinese.

Line moved pretty quickly though and good thing was they continued restocking throughout the day so everything's mostly in stock. They did provide few tables in the venue if you fancied enjoying your pastries straight away like us. We got their Garlic Bird for the cake, the mini croissants, and doubtlessly the egg tarts. The cake was prolly the only one that I thought so-so. Unique flavor with green grape yogurt and taro paste, but just okay in taste. The mini croissants were pretty good for the price. It wasn't like abundantly filled, but certainly not bad for being $2ish esp the salted yolk. The egg tarts should be the reason to come and come back again. Super affordable and the buttery case made them great! The Portugese one was certainly the default one to try but I personally loved the caramel croissant one.

Price ranged from $2.75-$3.75 per bread. Small and cozy interior. Very warm for some reason but we didn't mind since it's winter. It was pretty quiet. I think folks tend to go to bakeries earlier in the day for more selection and fresher bread. They have a good mix of classic and interesting new breads like rose bread (not depicted), but a lot of them were sold out. We ate the bread the next day and it still tasted very fresh. My favorite was the matcha bread with yogurt filling. The taro bun had real bits of taro in the center. Wish there was a little more though. All the breads were good in flavor, not too salty and or sweet. They also have some deals when you buy a certain amount of certain items. Shared parking lot since it's situated in a plaza.

Ordered two cakes for 30 people which turned out to be more than enough. The crispy cake used to be packaged in a pink box (like the donut shoes) but now comes in a fancier white box with gold labeling of the store name. Stamp card available! 1 stamp for every $15 spent. Collecting 10 stamps earns $15 off next visit. FYI - We were asked to pay via phone for the cakes. Parking situation in this plaza is awful during peak times on the weekends. Not only are the spots a little compact, there are also just a constant flow of cars with the market and other eateries.
