    ube haupia
    James M.

    This bakery is a legit hidden gem in the city of Alhambra. Over the past months I've tried several items from Wild Whisk and have been impressed with their body of work. The Paradise Cake and the Ube Haupia Cake are definitely worth writing home about. The cakes are on the pricier side, but no complaints here. The Ube Haupia is light and flavorful ...you can taste the ube and coconut , w/o the frosting being too sweet or overbearing. The Paradise Cake is a tribute to King's Hawaiian and is nothing short of amazing. Would def recommend!

    We celebrated 2 people's birthday and father's day early and got some cakes here last week. They were delicious, though there were somw mixed reviews about the basque cheesecake. It was awesome that there were some samples to try and that definitely helped in my decision for my daughter's birthday cake in a couple months. For the 2 birthday cakes, we got the rainbow cake and Basque cheesecake. And for father's day we had the banana cream pie. From sampling the available cakes, my favorite is the Vietnamese Tres Leshes and Ube Hopia cake. Instead of the Basque Cheesecake, we should have grabbed the Sesame Basque Cheesecake. It tasted better, for our taste at least. For the most part everything we tried was delicious. Definitely coming back for some single serve desserts.

    My latest bakery find, and I'm SO glad I found it. A friend of mine had gotten us some of the the Furikake Chex Mix, and it tasted really good so I decided to order some cake from here for a gathering. Small little independent business on the west side of Alhambra, the bakery itself had a Western theme, cowboy hats and all. It seemed unusual seeing as it was supposed to be Hawaiian cakes, so I asked one of the owners, and she said it was partly because her husband of Mexican heritage loved the country western culture, the family even wearing cowboy hats & boots! Decor was country western too, hence the "Wild" Whisk! The cakes & furikake chex mix were definitely Hawaiian though!! We ordered the Rainbow Cake, which reminded me of King's Hawaiian's cake, but much lighter & fluffier. It was also made super neat and absolutely beautiful, big hit with our gathering. Also bought a slice of the Ube Haupia, which was very fragrant, light & delicious. The coconut was not at all overwhelming, which was really refreshing...most places have coconut that's too strong and smells "oily". The giant chocolate chip cookies are rich & quite tasty! My husband also tried the black sesame cheesecake, which I also tasted, & it was very yummy! Of course, we ate that & the cookies before taking a picture, lol. All in all, a great experience & a definite place to come back to when I need some Hawaiian baked goods! Looking forward to trying out the other menu items too, & of course supporting independent & API businesses!

    Rainbow cake (guava, passionfruit, lime)

    The Wild Whisk is a fantastic bakery known for their fusion desserts. Their treats seem to be heavily influenced by Hawaiian and Vietnamese flavors, like their best-selling rainbow cake and Vietnamese coffee tres leches. Their menu is limited but everything I've tried so far has been amazing. 1. Believe it or not, the rainbow cake here is just as phenomenal as the famous paradise cake from Kings Hawaiian in Torrance. That's actually what led me to The Wild Whisk's doorstep - I wanted to find the unique cake someplace closer to home because I refuse to trek all the way out to Torrance again, not when gas prices are what they are now. Anyways, the rainbow cake is an exquisite light chiffon cake with layers of guava, passionfruit, and key lime. The flavors were subtle and in perfect harmony, complemented by the light whipped cream. This is such a unique type of cake that you won't find at most bakeries, so I highly recommend trying it here. 2. I also purchased their ube cake, and it was good but it had a strong coconut flavor - which doesn't usually appeal to me, so I won't be getting this one again. 3. The basque cheesecake was delicious with it's dark caramelized top and rich and creamy center. I love basque cheesecake because I'm not a fan of the usual graham cracker crusts in cheesecake, and I would always forgo that part. With basque cheesecakes, I don't have to! Anyways, all of that to say I've tried alot of different basque cheesecakes and the one here is utter perfection. 4. They also just came out with a seasonal black sesame basque cheesecake, and it was heavenly. It had an enriched nutty flavor and was more subtle in sweetness. 5. Last but not least, the churro cheesecake was delectable with it's deep cinnamon flavor. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

    I've tried a variety of cakes and desserts from here thanks to my manager who brought treats to our staff meeting. For my birthday this year I wanted a Chocolate Dobash Cake. I preordered the week before and also got 6 musubi and a large bag of Hawaiian Chex mix. We parked in the street and walked over. The interior is small with a few tables. My order was ready right in time. I even got a free cookie for my birthday. Yay. Everything is so good. We will be back for sure.

    Super cute unassuming bakery in the outskirts of Alhambra. The staff is friendly and offered me some free samples. I sampled the ube haupia and butter mochi. I would describe wild whisk as having a Hawaiian theme with a Latin flare. Item prices range from $6-$7. What I bought: Hawaiian Chex mix 5/5 Vietnamese coffee tres leches 5/5 Banana cream pie 3/5 My favorite item was the Chex mix, it's sweet, savory, with a Furikake aftertaste. The Vietnamese tres leches reminded me of a super moist tiramisu. The banana cream pie was good but a little too heavy for my taste. They even have pre made spam Musubis at the counter! And also tamales if you're in the mood. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and looking forward to going back and trying some more goodies!

    Ordered a whole cake online the night before at 5pm and was ready for pick up the next morning at 9am. The staff were very helpful and with samples, their input on their favorites, and helping me with my order. The cake was moist, spongey and delicious! Everyone loved it. I also enjoyed the strawberry matcha tres leches and pandan butter mochi. They have shave ice and tamales that i need to try next time!

    I've placed numerous cake orders from Wild Whisk and it never disappoints. I love their selections of single slices to take home. All my friends and family rave about their cakes. I recently ordered a vanilla matcha buttercream cake for my son's HS graduation. They were able to add a custom Sac State logo too. That's where he is heading for college in the fall. It was perfect.

    This place is easy to miss! It's near a busy road and sometimes there's no parking in front, but visiting is worth it. I ended up buying a lot of sweets when I visited for the first time. I love furikake chex mix, and theirs is the perfect ratio of sweet and salty (it would be even better if they added some cashews or almonds). Their cookies are chunky, soft, and chewy, but not in a underbaked way. My favorite was the browned butter chocolate chip cookie. I also got a slice of the Ube cake and a banana cream pie. The ube cake was "not too sweet" and had good ube flavor. The banana cream pie had an interesting crust... not sure if I liked it, but the filling was great. I'm definitely going again to try their tamales!

    Oh la la!

    Charming cozy shop in East side of Los Angeles. The churro cake ??? Superb. Yup, i deserve cheat day like this under glooming Thursday. Friendly staffs & nothing really happening surrounding that if you wanna mellow unthreatened date, this would be the place. I'm wondering people still dating in LA anymore rather than high libido & hooking up ! At least, try. Who knows the right person is someone who chooses you with the same depth you choose them in the sweet desert shop!

    Rainbow Cake Slice and Basque Cheesecake Slice
    Linda L.

    I've been wanting to stop by The Wild Whisk for a while. While browsing their website for holiday desserts, I came across their tamales and decided to give them a try. I preordered about 15 tamales for Christmas Day - $3 each when you buy six or more ($3.25 normally). The store is quaint and owners were very nice and helpful. Love that their treats are inspired by their Hawaiian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Mexican cultures. I usually find tamales to be dry with an uneven filling-to-masa ratio, but these were amazing and a huge hit on Christmas Day. Moist, flavorful, and the perfect ratio. I almost wanted to gatekeep this spot, but they were too good not to share. I also picked up a few dessert slices. The Basque cheesecake was out of this world, and I loved the tropical flavors of the rainbow cake. Glad I don't have make the trek to Torrance when craving paradise cake! The carrot cake was a bit on the drier side, but still enjoyable. Convenient location and great quality. I'll definitely be back for more desserts and tamales!

    I've pre-ordered online from The Wild Whisk a couple of times after a friend brought their Carrot Cake to a holiday party. I loved the carrot cake from the previous bakery in the same location, so I was fairly impressed by the Wild Whisk's. Their Churro Cheesecake was a hit to a holiday party I ordered for (didn't get a picture this time). Hubby & I loved their flan, not too sweet & very creamy consistency, caramel sits at the bottom of the flan. Wish they made it in bigger size. Also tried their Haupia Cake, which is ube and coconut layered - a bit on the sweet side but still good. Street parking available, and usually if you pre-order online you can set the time you want to pick-up. Tracy's always very good with checking on any questions the day-of pick-up.

    Was quite excited to see another Hawaiian bakery open up with the paradise cake so I didn't have to make the drive to Torrance for Kings Hawaiian. Unfortunately, I will still need to make the drive to Torrance as the paradise cake was quite dry and the flavors were a bit too strong for my liking. Thoroughly enjoyed the slice of basque burnt cheesecake - creamy with a good consistency. The furikake rice krispies ($4 each) was also a winner - will be back for these two items. Looking forward to trying their cookie / chocolate cake to see how it compares as well.

    Hi. do you have an ingredients list? we have a nut allergy. any nut extract in vietnamese tres leche or dobash? or ube? thank u

    Hi Kay, the only items that contain any nuts are our carrot cake (contains walnuts) and our ube haupia cake (contains coconut). Feel free to call us at (626) 872-0003 if you have any questions!

    Is dairy the top 2 ingredients in your butter mochi? I'm asking because of an allergy concern. Thank you.

    Hi Jess! Unfortunately, we use a lot of milk in our butter mochi.

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.

If you're in the SGV or surrounding areas this place is a must try!!! The restaurant is small but busy, it's lined with booths and shared tables. Nothing fancy, the food is the reason why people come. The staff is friendly, fast and keeps everything running smoothly. The menu is huge, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. I've never had a bad meal here. My favorites are the pork chop over rice, the beef banh mi and tom thit kho with dry egg noodles and broth on the side. Everyone loves the pho here but I haven't gotten around to trying it. The crispy egg rolls pair well with everything. Make sure to wrap them in lettuce and dip them in nuoc cham and you'll see why they're a must try. No reservations so expect a wait. Get there early to avoid the long line. They're open everyday from 10am to 8pm, except Wednesdays. Parking in the shopping center can be tough but there is plenty of street parking nearby. They have a second location in Temple City but I'd stick to the OG San Gabriel location. Try Golden Deli for amazing Vietnamese food at a reasonable price.

I came in December 2025 and though we didn't wait too long, the interior is small and there's no cover outside, so I can imagine that it would be difficult to wait in the scorching heat. Interior was clean and had a nostalgic, small-town bakery vibe. The case was stocked with pastries, which were already dwindling at around 10:00 AM; there are usually 4-5 seasonal items depending on the season in question, and those tend to go first. Their lamination is solid, lots of buttery, flakey layers without any denseness. Most of their menu consists of laminated pastries, so I expected as much. - spinach artichoke dip danish: Yummy filling, though the party wished there was more artichoke. -croissant apple fritter: really really good. most people go for the croissant cinnamon roll, but I think the apple fritter is a sleeper hit. The buttery croissant layers paired with the crisp, iced layers of fried dough were a great pair. Obviously gets heavy after a while. - chocolate hazelnut croissant: classic nutella flavor. I thought it was a bit sweet. - brown butter almond croissant: really good! their almond frangipane filling is quite delicious; not the best I've ever had, but with a great almond flavor and complex texture. Overall a good option for laminated pastries in Pasadena, though I would have to try their pain au chocolat against CAR's to be absolutely sure about which is best.
