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.

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!

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

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
Magda N.

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.

Artisan Pastry fans rejoice, the shop has relocated from Mission to Main Street in Alhambra! The…read morenew space is wide open, bright, and welcoming, with a couple of small tables inside plus some outdoor seating right on Main. I've tried a few of their mousse cakes and Portuguese tarts, and everything has been delicious. Those adorable fluffy animal cakes might look too cute to eat, but trust me, they're totally crave-worthy! As someone who loves anything chocolate or mango, I know I'll be coming back often. A fun treat to try: freeze-dried mousse cake bites. They'd make an awesome ice cream topping! Highly recommend stopping by if you have a sweet tooth.

However, I didn't have a good experience with their service. I asked if we can wait for the new batch of portugues tarts because the remaining ones looked too burnt to me. The lady answered" this is how it supposed to look". Then I said there are differences between some of them, because I saw the previous customer got some of the less burnt ones. The attitude of this lady wasn't friendly at all and was very blunt. I didn't feel good after her response but I insisted on waiting for the new batch. Then I saw other customers buying more of the remaining ones and this lady would purposely pick out the less burnt ones for them. So this action shows that she agrees that not all portugués tart are equal! I mean I am glad she is picking out the less burnt ones for those customers but she just conflicted of what she said to me! Only if she explained with a more polite attitude or say I can try my best to pick out the less burnt ones for you. I just do not appreciate people who is not very nice while they are in the customer service industry. I am still giving this place a 4 star because the price is great for the quality of pastries they make! They also provide a very nice box too when you order more egg tarts.

As the name of the bakery implies, it's "Perfectly Sweet"…read more I'm generally a bit more wary of purchasing baked goods from non-Asian bakeries since they tend to be sweeter than what my palate likes, but not here! The hours are a bit limited, but I managed to make it in time to grab some pre-made baked goods to go. I got a bag of coconut macaroons, bag of several chocolate chip cookies, 2 red velvet cookies, a baked dog cookie biscuit, and a cute Keroppi sugar cookie. Most of these ended up being gifts, but I did enjoy one of the red velvet cookies and for an already sweet flavor profile with white chocolate chips in it, I was already fearing the worse, but went perfect with a glass of milk. The edges were nicely crisped by the baking too. Delicious. Love that they had a stock of cute, pre-decorated cookies available as well (some Sanrio characters, animals, etc.) They also list all the ingredients used in each of the baked goods that they have prepackaged, which is nice. It's also a cafe where you can order drinks, as well as a place you can order cakes custom order or what they have behind the glass already. There's both seating inside and outside.

I also love their cheesecake and fruitcake, which never disappoint. Whenever I need a birthday treat for a friend, I pick up one of their small cakes. They're always a hit! I especially love the edible chocolate "Happy Birthday" sign and how they package everything so beautifully in a white box with a gold bow and a lavender flower touch it's such a thoughtful and elegant detail. The customer service is consistently amazing warm, welcoming, and always helpful. Highly recommend Perfectly Sweet for anyone looking for high-quality, delicious desserts with a personal touch!

I had a lovely experience at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel). I ordered the Tiramisu Donut ($4.95)…read more It's a fluffy, BIG donut that tastes like a decadent tiramisu. It's also filled with a light, soft cream. DELICIOUS! I arrived at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel) on a Wednesday (around 3:42PM). Parking is simple. There's a competitive customer parking lot. And there's a city public parking lot about a two minute walk away. Staff is very friendly, professional, and welcoming. Staff maintained a bright smile throughout my visit. Staff immediately helped me. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or counter; however, the kiosk felt very dated & the prices on the kiosk felt less transparent. I recommend just ordering at the counter. There's no penalty for using card at this donut establishment. As mentioned, I love the Tiramisu Donut ($4.95). It's not too sweet; rather, it all felt balanced. However, this is a VERY messy donut; I recommend eating this donut with a fork and knife. The powder fall everywhere, and your clothes can quickly get stained with chocolate powder. Still, it's a delicious pastry. On ambiance, Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel) is comfortable. This business is more reminiscent of a cafe than a typical donut shop. There's customer internet with password; details on the counter. There's a gender neutral restroom. And there's an electrical outlet & outlet adaptor for devices. The location is fairly small; there's one interior table and one small counter. Fortunately, this place felt airy and well-ventilated. There's also some upbeat, fun music in this clean spot. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel). There's sincere passion & hard work within these walls. If searching for a special donut for a special someone, this is an easy spot to recommend. 4.9 out of 5! Go!

Ordered a single shot espresso and the very popular butter pistachio donut. It was HUGE. I shared it with a co-worker as I knew there was just no way I alone could finish it. This thing was decadent... and totally up anyone's alley who has a severe sweet tooth. I typically do not like overly sweet things, but I have to admit, this was very good. The espresso was good and strong, and for me, a single shot was more than enough to get me through my morning. As I was the only customer in the place at the time, service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be back to try other donuts!

There's a small parking lot in the back, but spaces can be hard to find and I ended up having to park on the street the first time I went. (FYI - they are going to open a Goomo tea shop on the corner in the same space!) D'ange has so many fun flavors of buns. I really liked the taro with mochi one. The only thing about the buns is that the fillings tend to be only on one side of the bun, so there are been times as I'm biting into the bun, I'm not getting any filling until the last couple bites. They even sell cookies and all different flavors of toast that would make some yummy brick toast desserts! And if you need a whole cake, they have them in the case ready to go too! The buns I got were great, as were the Portuguese egg tarts. They even sold Chinese tamales at my last visit, so I picked one up too. I don't know many places that sell these, and I used to eat them all the time when my grandma made them years ago, but now that no one in my family knows how to make them, it's a special treat if I can find it. They have ones with meat (with or without peanuts), and some with just the mung bean. They must be really know for this because 2 other parties ahead of me were buying tons of the tamales!

TGTG is an app that allows businesses to sell their leftover or flawed goods for a discounted price in a bundle of their choice. So you don't know what you get, BUT it reduces food waste (#sustainability) while being easier on your wallet. You pay a price they name and they give you the value they listed. The owner (I presume) handed us a prepackaged brown bag the moment we got there. It wasn't busy at all so the whole transaction was under 5 minutes. It's a mom & pop Asian bakery that's spacious and warm. Our surprise bag contained 7 mini breads: black sesame mochi, red sesame mochi, taro bun with filling, hot dog cheese bread, buo luo bao, ham + cheese bun, and another bread I couldn't quite identify. This is $21 value for $6.99 is what we paid. After heating them up, they tasted almost like fresh so we can't complain. However, I would say these days $3 would get you bigger buns at other similar bakeries, but their fillings were very generous, so it's hard to say. Parking has spots designated to the bakery so look out for the signs.

I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with my experience here…read more I have called around to numerous bakeries and this was the only one that was within our budget! I think it's ridiculous other stores are charging $125+ for a 6 inch gender reveal cake (no decorations/ no writing). Is it because it's a gender reveal cake with either pink or blue frosting so they have to hike up the ridiculous prices?! Look no further everyone!! Get all your baked goods and beautifully made cakes here! Other places also want a week's notice before pick up. This spot is only 1 day!! I spoke to the owner over the phone and gave him the details of what my vision was for the cake. He made my vision come true, but even better than I thought it would be! And because you order the cake one day ahead, you can taste how moist and fresh the cake actually is! Versus if you were to order a week in advance anywhere else, the cake would be dry and brittle!! I cannot stress enough how happy I am with my experience here. From my inquiry over the phone up until pick up. I am very very pleased and will continue to come to this establishment. They truly deserve all the praise. THANK YOU for an amazing experience that my hubby and I will never forget!

Their cakes are the classic Chinese bakery style, light sponge cake layered with fruit and whipped cream. They make custom cakes in all different sizes and I think the pricing is pretty reasonable for what you get. Best of all, the cakes are fresh and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them. This time I ordered a quarter sheet chocolate cake with chocolate cream. It was really good, rich enough to taste like chocolate but not so sweet that it became overwhelming. Everyone at the party seemed to enjoy it. They also open at 8am which makes pickup convenient if you need a cake for an early event. One little bonus: if you pay cash, there's usually a small discount. Let's just say Uncle Sam might not be getting invited to that party. Overall, a reliable bakery that I've been coming back to for years.
