Excellent and accommodating! fruits are fresh, whipped cream is not sweet, decorations are delicate

Your classic Chinese bakery. My family's been going here for a very long time. A must-stop to bring home any of your favorite Chinese-style pastries as well as surprisingly delicious American classics. Cakes for all occasions. Pro-Tip: Don't sleep on their Red-Bean Moon Cakes. I always have to get these whenever I'm in the area. FOOD: Red Bean Moon Cake - 9.0 / 10 Up there with the best of them. The pastry & especially the filling are not too sweet. The outer crust in tender, flaky, & always fresh, never stale. The inner red-bean filling is just the right amount of sweetness with a not-too-soft nor not-too firm texture. Parking can be tricky, so my best best is to just park alongside N. Broadway. Watch the meters & pay if necessary or do what I do & walk stop by after eating at a nearby Chinese restaurant. read more

We were participating in the cicLAvia bicycle event so we made a pitstop at this bakery when we noticed the sesame balls poster on their window. Unfortunately they didn't have any but I didn't want to leave empty handed. I picked out a curry beef patty to try out. The two girls working were all scattered so the service wasn't that great. That patty was delicious so I plan on going back to try more treats. read more

I just picked up a too good to go bag from here. They had a decent assortment of pastries and Chinese baked goods. I paid $3.99 for a too good to go mystery bag and it included five pastries that were individually wrapped. I think this was a good deal, especially bringing it to a potluck/party. I would've loved to try their egg tarts. read more

Wonder Bakery - One of their display cases inside - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wonder Bakery is a local shop right at the L.A. Chinatown gateway within Chinatown Central Plaza. You can't miss them. They are on the left side near the entrance. Located on N Broadway. I've been here a few times. Shop is not too big with limited inside seating. They sell a variety of pastries, cakes, and other baked goods. They now serve milk tea, smoothies, and juice drinks. No public restrooms. I was nearby a couple weeks ago for the L.A. Chinatown Firecracker 5/10K Run/Walk & Bike Ride event. I wanted to support this bakery. I bought a couple egg tarts, two baked BBQ pork buns, a Chinese donut, one Mango smoothie (comes with milk), one Watermelon juice, and one Three Berries juice. Wow, egg tart was one of the best I've ever eaten! It was creamy and sweet in a crisp, buttery shell. SO GOOD! I wish I bought one dozen and not two individuals... next time one dozen for sure. BBQ pork bun filling was adequate and taste was decent, but I've had better from other bakeries. Chinese donut was a bit oily unfortunately. Out of the 3 drinks, fresh watermelon juice was the best... will get again. The other two drinks didn't have any depth in the fruit taste whatsoever... will not get them again. Staff was just okay. Not the most smiley crew. They weren't super busy so I was in and out of here under 10 minutes. Atmosphere could be better. Place seems a bit dated. They could use a fresh look. If you're looking for the best egg tart in town, Wonder Bakery is here to serve you. Happy Eating! read more

I stopped by here for an egg tart. At $2.45 for one egg tart, it is a little pricey, but it was quite delicious! It was a decent size (bigger than the egg tart at Long's Bakery, which is cheaper but also smaller). The filling was smooth and custardy, but perhaps a hair too sweet for my tastes (if I'm being picky). The crust was flaky (as all egg tart crusts should be). This is a solid egg tart. I would get it again in LA. There's a $5 minimum if you want to pay with credit card. read more

Not bad but definitely nothing memorable. Came here in hopes of grabbing a little snack for my little one. Wonder Bakery seemed promising since they offered smoothies and baked goods. I'm all about 2 birds, 1 stone kinda deal. Purchases: *WONDER JUICE [a blend of strawberry & banana] *WATERMELON JUICE *CREAM CHEESE CROISSANT x2 *HOT DOG BUN *CHAR SIU BUN Wonder juice was not good- primarily because the bananas used were undoubtedly unripe. Watermelon juice was amazing [per my toddler's picky palate]- this was fresh, quenching, and I appreciated it simply being fruit juiced. The hot dog bun got a thumbs up from my little monster. The cream cheese croissants were unfortunately not good- the croissant was flaky but in a not so good dry kind of way. The pork bun was good, my only wish was for more of the filling. 3 stars. Not sure if Wonder Bakery was having an off day or if this bakery simply isn't for me. If I were to come back, it seems like the egg tarts & strawberry cakes are where it's at. read more

A Local joint serving milk teas, coffee, cake, ice cream and pastries! There tends to be a little wait but it moves by swiftly. You order at the front and they grab the pastries for you. I had the Egg tart, bbq pork bun, and sponge cake. The sponge cake itself had too strong of an aftertaste egg flavor. But I did enjoy the egg tart and bbq pork bun. Overall reasonably priced for the size of pastry you're getting. Support local joints! read more

This place was unpleasant to say the least. The most off putting part was the service. We walked in to a young man on a tablet watching shows... now, I work retail myself, and I understand that when a store is empty and it's slow you sit down and chill. I'm not expecting perfection from a bakery. I didn't mind this at all. What I did mind is that, as we were trying to order, he was dismissive and rude to us. Treated me and my friend like bothers and inconveniences. Was incredibly unkind and dismissive. We wanted to order a fruit smoothie, and he told us the entire store doesn't have any fruit whatsoever available. None. Now, as someone who works retail, I also know that's a lie. He probably didn't want to clean up after the fruit, or make the fruit, or be bothered with it. Honestly, I wouldn't have even minded this either, if only he'd been nice about it. But he wasn't. This looks like a small, family establishment, so I'm sure this young man is someone's nephew, brother or cousin--but being kind is so basic. It's not hard to be nice to strangers. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Outside of the service, the drinks are good. I liked their tea and boba was delicious. We got moon cakes and those were okay, nothing bad but nothing great either, I wouldn't recommend getting them. The store itself was dirty and severely lacking presentation. Everything was super dusty, including the shelves with pastries on them. It was unkept and obviously not cleaned. I keep a star because the food wasn't the worst, and the drink was good, but if you're visiting China Town this location isn't worth your money or business. I hope it can improve its service and cleanliness sometime because it has potential to be good. read more

I don't live in the LA area and rarely go to Chinatown even if I am around. But there's one thing that can get me to go: the Curry Beef Buns at Wonder Bakery. This time I called two days ahead and ordered 20 of them. They do freeze well and stay delicious after being microwaved. It's not only nostalgia; these Curry Beef Buns actually taste really good. The bun is nice and soft and not too doughy. And the curry minced beef with a little bit of onion tastes really good. And no other Chinese bakery seems to make them; not in other Chinese bakeries in Southern California, not in the San Francisco Bay Area, and not in the New York City area. They usually make Curry Pork Puff Pastries instead which tend to be more oily. I have been eating them since I was a student and when the buns were about 60 cents each, 45 years ago! And incredibly, the taste and quality stay excellent all these years. I have tried their BBQ Pork Buns and Egg Tarts before, and they were also quite delicious. Will have to try their drinks when I have more time. My drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles on a Sunday afternoon was awful. I almost didn't make it there before closing. They texted me to confirm that I was picking up, and the buns were ready when I finally got there. Service was really nice and friendly. They actually gifted me three extra buns. The store was nice and clean with good sized display cases which were quite empty by the end of the day. There are good reasons they stay in business all these years! read more

Great bakery in Chinatown!! I got a BBQ pork bun and two cookies. The bread was nice and soft while the meat was sweet and flavorful. The cookies were also very tasty! Really good almond flavor and crunchy texture. If you pay by card, there is a minimum amount. If the minimum is not reached, then there will be a 45 cent charge. Service was quick. I arrived early in the morning, so some breads were not out. I would maybe ask if any bread was available in the back because when I left, they brought out pineapple buns (which was what I was looking for). read more

We stopped by as the bakery was opening and ordered the strawberry cake. The cake was removed from an unrefrigerated case, and the cake was moldy. They throw away the other piece of cake in the case, and gave us a fresh piece from the refrigerated case. But.... we watched them cut up the cake from the refrigerated case, and put the slices in the unrefrigerated case. This is a health concern, putting sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream in the case. read more

Service is great. Got a strawberry cake and it was delicious to celebrate a birthday. Place have seatings inside and outside. Lots of delicious cookies and treats. Have lots of drinks selection.

A little disappointed in my order from here. I got the egg tart, and it was out, so they replaced it with a super dry butterfly cookie. The cake slice I got was good as well as the moon cake, but it was pretty expensive overall, and I wasn't blown away. The green bean cake was dry and the pork bun had very little contents on the inside. I would only come here for the moon cake. read more

Wonder Bakery really enhances the experience of Chinatown when it's comes to Chinese pastries and delicacies! I ordered the BBQ pork bun for 1.75, which came out to around 1.90 with tax included! Super affordable, and I really like how they heat up the bun for you! They also offer other pastries such as cake and moon cake, which was really nice to see! Service was extremely friendly and kind! The pork bun was super soft with a generous amount of pork, just wish there was more of the pork and less of the bun. Overall, solid experience! Check it out if you're in the Chinatown Plaza! read more

So a couple months ago, having realized that the changes to the blue line made travel from Long Beach to LA's Chinatown now *very* accessible... I was just walking back to the subway on my way from having finally checked out Steep, when I saw a Chinese bakery, and had to check out the pastries. I'm a *huge* fan of egg tarts - pre-covid, I once spent a few days on a work trip staying at a hotel in Chinatown in SF, and tried a *bunch* of different bakeries there selling egg tarts and other Chinese pastries, ranging from quite good, to *wonderfully* good. I'd never had any egg tarts as good elsewhere, but I also hadn't been to *Chinatown* in LA in ages, so I was looking forward to trying them! Anyway, obviously from my star rating, I continue to not be impressed with LA's attempts at egg tarts. I hate giving less than great reviews... they were certainly a good price, and the actual egg part was solid enough, but their crust was just... dry, kinda doughy, and not very flavorful compared to any half decent bakery in SF. Maybe it was an off day? I also tried what I thought was a melon pastry (it said it was, then I asked if it was, and someone said yes, but I don't think their English was the best). I'm still not sure if it just didn't taste very much like melon, or if it was a misnomer... but it was the same doughy, not overly flavorful crust, and what tasted like just unflavored mochi inside, definitely not actual melon. The people here were friendly (if hurried), and the pastries are all pretty inexpensive (and their day-old stuff absolutely *stupidly* so), but at least the couple I tried weren't that *good*, so price doesn't matter as much at that point, unfortunately. Admittedly, did not try their mooncakes though, which it looks like they might be more well known for. read more

Wanted to leave a shout out after I was pleasantly surprised to find fresh fried sugar egg puffs on the counter! (They labeled them as Chinese Donuts which are more typically associated with the savory dough stick that you eat with rice porridge.) The puff was giant! Crispy on the outside and soft and doughy inside. Even better than I remember them from dim sum of days past. Delicious trip down memory lane. read more

This is right in New Chinatown. A pretty standard bakery serving a variety of simple desserts and some Asian specialties. I came later in the afternoon so they were out of what I'm assuming are their more popular items such as the Egg Tart or Walnut Cookie. The pricing is very affordable for each item being a few bucks. I ended up getting the Mini Lotus Moon Cake and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The Mini Lotus Moon Cake was classic. Smooth interior that is similar to red bean paste, but is from lotus seeds instead. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee had the essence of a Vietnamese-style cafe, but had too much milk added for me that ended up watering it down. It still made for a good iced latte though. Overall, a decent place with straightforward desserts at an affordable price. read more

Stopped by this little bakery about an hour before closing and it was empty. It seems like most of the pastries on the outer shelves had already sold out. The lady made our drinks pretty quickly. I ordered the green milk tea and it tasted very milky and sweet. I forgot to ask for less sugar! But the boba was chewy. The strawberry smoothie was very sweet too. I think I would order a regular milk tea drink and try the pastries. read more

No more the price-friendly option in this touristy plaza, this old-school Chinese bakery continues to serve up to the community new and old. Sign of the times and survival necessity, I continue to be very happy to see business as usual. The same old favorites are still available, and now they can be found wrapped in plastic for self-service along with the items behind the glass bakery case. The additional drink options include bobas and slushies is a welcomed new treat. The staff continues to be friendly and welcoming, and I continue to reminisce about the days of cash only and chatting with auntie who used to run the show giving me a free bun or two when I purchased dozens. read more

This neighborhood bakery has been serving your favorite Chinese pastries for decades. Both Chinatown locals and hungry tourists looking for quick eats at fair prices come here for assortments of Chinese baked goods like egg tarts and coconut bread. The baked BBQ pork buns is my to-go for dependable comfort food, best when it's freshly hot or heated back up. During Chinatown Summer Nights, a small line can build up as quickly as you get through the line. The counter-service is quick and can take your custom cake order ahead of time. Chris the hardworking owner is genuinely kind-hearted and friendly, and you'll often see him manning the store. I definitely swing by every time I'm nearby for a quick light meal. read more

Not the best, not the worst. Wonder Bakery is tucked away into an aesthetic corner of LA Chinatown where the architecture actually looks imported from the mainland. The pastries were fine and the drinks were fine. Nothing to write home about. The Vietnamese coffee had the misfortune of being strangely hot and cold and extremely watery but I still chugged that like a frat boy at a home coming basher. read more

The egg tart here is the only reason to come here. It is delicious. Unlike a lot of egg tarts, there is more filling than crust which I prefer. The crust still holds up well though. I would suggest to get your coffee drinks elsewhere though. They are just not good. But this is a bakery, not a cafe. read more

I highly DO NOT recommend this bakery. I had ordered an egg tart and a beverage. After placing my order, I noticed in their glass display where they have their pastries there were a couple flys roaming around. I told the girl that took my order that I seen flys in there and she responded trying to argue with me saying that I was lying and that she seen flys outside of the case instead of inside. And to top it off she was eating while arguing with me. What kind of Customer Service is that? Considering Wonder Bakery has been in business for years and that's the kind of service your workers give to customers?? The cashier was a young Hispanic girl with a nose piercing. Very ugly attitude and seemed like she didn't wanna work. It sucks because workers like this create a bad reputation for businesses. Never again will I come here and the pastries and drinks suck too. Pastries taste old af and the drinks taste watered down and artificial. There are plenty of other places you can go around the area for great sweets, don't waste your time here. read more

Solid egg tart. I've been coming here for like 20 years. Whether the owners have changed or not, I have no clue. The egg tart has stayed the same. Unlike other bakeries that have changed their egg tart recipes to have cookie type crusts, this place remains true. My mom dragged me to Chinatown in the 90's when it was still hopping at least once a month. She loved haggled for artwork and jewelry. Part of bribing me to go with her, she'd let me pick sweets from this place. They sell steamed buns, cakes, pastries, bread, and ice cream. If you are trapped here for whatever reason, there's a snack to be found nearby. read more

Came to Chinatown on a mission to get some egg tarts and believe it or not, after entering several bakeries, they were either already sold out by 1pm on a Saturday afternoon or they did not sell them at all. Appalled, I was determined to find some or this would not be a complete Chinatown experience. Finally came here and just like that, at least a dozen of them were staring right back at me. I told the baker about many places running out and she indicated that she tends to make more on the weekends and I thought, shouldn't the other bakeries think the same? These egg tarts were wonderfully flaky, fresh, and fantastic. If you like my alliteration, you will like these egg tarts even more! Come to Chinatown and come here for your egg tart fix! read more
