Basquia Cafe in Daly City is easily one of the best cafés I've been to! :') I ordered a peach iced tea & it was absolutely amazing! The sweetness & quantity made it so much more worth the price. Avril made my visit so much more better with her customer service. She's honestly the funniest and nicest barista I've met ever, she gave me such a warm & shining energy that made my day since she genuinely cared. I can't recommend this place to my friends enough and will definitely be coming back! read more

Came here at 4:30 on a Friday and we were surprised to learn they have wheat free dessert! We got the ganachu cake. It was a decent cake. Not too sweet. Lots of cream in between. I will definitely come back to try others. read more

For as long as Basquia/Jagalchi has been open, their Banana Pudding was $2.90 for a decent sized cup. No sign indicating it was a "Special Price" A few months back, they reduced the size of the cups, probably by about half, but kept the same price. Fine...I wasn't too mad about that. Yesterday, I grabbed one and brought it to the register. $5.50?!?!?! WHAT?!?! First you cut the size in half, then you nearly double the price? No way I'm ever buying that again! read more

disclaimer - i am a NICE person. hopefully. this review is not meant for readers with sensitivity to sass, snarky attitudes, and/or long essays basquia should just basquit atp. i gave this place like 4 chances (a lot in my opinion) and everytime it sucked absolute balls. they're doing a disservice to south korea, disservice to rice flour, disservice to ovens, disservice to the south korean singer bibi. i know i'm being SO MEAN!!! oh no. sorry i guess. service - it's alright. they won't warm up pastries for me :( food - here's where it gets fun. sulpang is..why is it even on the menu. hard dense flavorless rocks. i swear anyone who actually enjoys that is either a sociopath or a koreaboo. SORRY i'm sorry i need to be nicer... salt bread is too chewy for my taste but the flavor is nice. i guess it's better if you toast it at home. i think the gluten overdeveloped or the dough was underproofed because it just didn't taste nice and soft! banana pudding is way too sweet and i'm pretty sure it has stale cake layers because that thing was rock hard. eheh. also just not enough banana flavor. ALSO they sell buttercream but those bad boys are out at room temp in plastic cups. not saying it's a hazard because it really just depends on the style of buttercream..but i am mildly offended that they're selling it! what do you even do with a small pricey container of buttercream? slather it on your face? it doesn't even pair with any of their desserts... drinks are overpriced along with like everything else in the store. matcha batch prepped and oxidized color. i'm pretty sure the only reason why people like the place is because they have seating to eat jagalchi sushi read more

I've been here a few times. Most of their bakery items are a hit or miss. Yes to: banana pudding and cream sulpangs. Any sulpang without cream is so dry and flavorless. I've tried the cookies and green tea loaf - HARD PASS. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! It's so dry and flavorless. Waste of money. BUT I mainly wanted to write a review because of how GROSS some of the employees are. I was waiting in line and this young asian girl that's putting the dessert cups away in the lower cold fridge area (I think they were the cookies and cream cups) behind me starts COUGHING while putting the desserts away. She didn't even has a mask on and didn't cover her mouth. SHE WAS COUGHING ON THESE DESSERT CUPS. I was so surprised. I wanted to say something I didn't want to embarass this young girl. But that's so DISGUSTING!! Also, I work in food service for years with a ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification. I ordered french toast and coffee and the young girl working as a cashier/serving food hands me my order, and I notice she has these prettiest acrylic long fake nails. I was going to compliment her, but it struck me that those nails aren't allowed in food service. She should be wearing gloves if she's going to hand me my food and drink if she has those on. Please BE MORE SANITARY AND PRACTICE FOOD SAFETY!! read more

I've had the cream sulppang twice here so far and the second time there was much less cream filling inside compared to before, there was barely any until you got to the very middle. I liked the raspberry one much more than the ube which I didn't think was all that ube forward. I like the texture of sulppang, it is bouncy and I like the slight fermented taste reminds me of the white chinese rice cake that we make. The dalgona coffee was not strong, I don't recommend it. read more

Apparently salt bread is trending so when you pair that with Dubai chocolate -- well, I had to try it! $6 is a little pricey. I think $5 would be fair because it doesn't actually have a lot of pistachio filling. The outside has a nice chocolate layer. Most of the bread is hollow inside. I liked the contrast of the salt and the bread was light and airy. read more

This cafe is super cute. It's pretty large and is inside of Jagalchi! There are a lot of outlets so it's perfect for studying. I ordered a matcha and earl grey pound cake. The service was quick and the baristas were nice! However, the food here wasn't too great. The matcha had no depth. The matcha quickly fell out of its suspension in the milk and was just really sweet milk. The pound cake was pretty, but was dry and crumbly. The earl grey flavor was pretty mild. read more

Looking for the *Viral Dubai Chocolate Chewy Cookie* that's blown up in Korea? Currently, Basquia Bakery inside Jagalchi is the only brick and mortar that sells it in The Bay. I'm sure this will quickly change and be found elsewhere within a week. It's a cocoa powder covered marshmallow with a pistachio cream center, crispy kataifi (toasted shredded phyllo dough), and tahini...think a Dubai chocolate mochi with a satisfying QQ chew and stretchy pull. I'm here to tell you: SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GAS! The one at Basquia is NOT it. Yes, it's only $5 compared to $8-$10 at bakery pop-ups but there's a reason why.... Instead of kataifi, they used coconut flakes and they don't use tahini. It's misleading to call it Dubai chocolate when you're missing two of the essential ingredients. It has a nice chewy and crispy texture contrast but the flavor is all wrong. The ratio of dry coconut flakes completely overpowers the pistachio cream. It also ran too sweet with no savory tahini for balance. Anyhoo, their other bakery items are equally underwhelming (read: dry) but they use rice flour for everything. YAY for peeps with gluten allergies but IMHO, a pass for the rest of us. read more

Looking for dessert and found this great Koran bakery ! They have a beautiful selection of pastries many made with rice flour. The textures is a bit different but the flavors are excellent. We really loved the slice of chocolate cake - it was light and creamy. The sweet potato cake was ok but lacked the flavor of the sweet potato The strawberry cake was our 2 nd favorite- lots of flavor and good texture read more

===TL;DR=== - Dubai chewy cookie ===TMI=== Finally got my hands on one of these to try in the Bay Area! Well..... "their twist" on the viral Dubai cookies. Per their advertisement: Our twist on the Dubai Chewy Cookie is made with coconut instead of kataifi to create a gluten-friendly treat. Idk if that's a good or bad thing but personally, the coconut flavor is quite strong I must say. So for those who's not fond of coconut, keep this in mind. Otherwise, the flavor is quite balanced. Not overly sweet and I feel like the texture can be crunchier. One day, I'll have the "real" ones to compare! Until then, $5 fix ain't bad. read more

This bakery, Basquia, is located inside Jalgachi. I've been here a couple of times and have tried their Korean traditional drink, sikhye, which I've always enjoyed. I also tried their rice flour bread, but unfortunately it didn't have much flavor. I had the one with strawberry on top. On my most recent visit, I decided to try the milk bread and coffee castella. The coffee castella was okay, a bit dry, but the milk bread... OMG, it was so good! I'll definitely be getting it again. At this point, sikhye and the milk bread are my go-to items whenever I come here. They also have other cakes and desserts, so maybe next time I'll try something new. One time the sikhye was a little too sweet, but the staff member was incredibly kind and she added more sikhye and made sure I liked it before I left. Great customer service. The place is bright, pretty, and very clean. read more

The workers here are nice and friendly. Most of the pastry was dried out. I was excited! To mocha cake but that one was dried out too. Went late in the day so they didn't really have that much dessert out. read more

After shopping at Jagalchi, I saw that they had a "Strawberry in Heaven" menu, so decided to stop by for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Our order: Café Latte ($5.00): +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Strong coffee balanced with creamy milk: They use Sightglass Coffee (SF) beans. Strawberry Matcha Latte ($6.50): +Topped with freeze dried strawberry bits, which added crunch and tartness +Generous amount of real strawberry jam +No upcharge for no ice -Even though I requested Less Sweet, it was SO SWEET. I can't imagine how sweet the unadjusted drink is... -Couldn't taste the matcha: It tasted like super sweet strawberry milk. Other items I've tried during previous visits: -Black Sesame Green Tea Cream SulPang -Matcha Soft Serve -Melokick *Verdict: Creative offerings with friendly and efficient service, but missing the mark on taste. I wouldn't go out of my way, but if I was inside Jagalchi I would stop by to see what's new. read more

Quick summary: - Inside Jagalchi grocery market - Most of their dishes are sweet buns and drinks - Dishes overall lean toward the sweet side - High review marks on the seasonal fruit drinks - Indoor seating available, just that you'll need to leave your cart outside the cafe I've been there three times and these were short visits. The first time I tried out the bun desserts that I have seen being advertised in front of the cafe. I forgot which ones I tried, but for me having one was enough. Eating more of them, I was overwhelmed with the interior cream stuffed inside. Instead, my attention and praise lands on the seasonal drinks, particularly their fruit drinks. In the summer, we tried out their watermelon drink and this was super good. Since the Jagalchi carts have a cup holder, we drank that as we walked through the aisles, and we loved it so much we ordered another cup. The second round is during this winter season. The seasonal fruit this time around was strawberry. There was a new menu that listed off all the different drinks in a strawberry. From this menu we ordered two from here: the strawberry oolong and the strawberry matcha latte. The ones we chose were iced, but we were pretty warm at the time; the cold drink turned out to be perfect. read more

Basquia Bakery - Seasonal strawberry flavors: matcha strawberry latte and the strawberry oolong tea - Bakeries Near Me - Daly City, California

I took advantage of the semi-work holiday by visiting Basquia Bakery, and it was such a great choice. There were hardly any people there, so I was able to browse the pastry selection at my own pace without feeling rushed or in the way. They offer both refrigerated and non-refrigerated options, which is great. There's also a café drink menu if you're just in the mood for coffee or tea. Whether you're craving pastries, breads, cookies, or cakes, Basquia has a great selection. PASTRIES: 8/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 What I ordered: Banana Pudding (refrigerated section) Banana Strawberry Pudding (refrigerated) - accidental buy lol! Banana Creme Bun (non-refrigerated) Oreo Cookie (non-refrigerated) PASTRIES: 8/10 I came here on a major banana pudding/banana cream craving. I went down a Yelp rabbit hole to find the nearest spot, and to my surprise, Basquia was one of them. Of course, I ended up getting more than just the banana pudding, but you've gotta take advantage when it's not crowded, right? The Banana Cream Bun was good, but not exactly what I was expecting. First off, I'm so glad the banana cream didn't taste artificial. I think it was my favorite part of the bun. The bun itself had the texture and thickness of a "siopao" or pork bun: dense and substantial. I was hoping for a softer, fluffier texture, so that part was a little different from what I anticipated. Banana Pudding was SO YUM. I just wouldve preferred the pudding to be more thicker as I feel the pudding was runny, more like a banana's and cream. AMBIANCE: 9/10 This is probably one of the fanciest self-serve pastry and bread bakeries I've been to. Everything was nicely spaced out. At first, I thought I might prefer the pastry stations to be closer together, but I realized spacing them out by theme was probably a smart idea, it helps avoid the kind of foot traffic and waiting congestion you'd experience at places like Sheng Kee or 85°C Bakery. There is an ample amount of parking, but when it gets packed, parking is pretty difficult to find, despite this being located within a shopping center. read more

Basquia Bakery is a charming spot located inside the Jagalchi Korean Market, which is connected to the mall. Cute, spacious, and aesthetic, it's a great place to catch up with friends, go on a date, or grab a bite before or after grocery shopping. Because Jagalchi also has great quick food options, my family bought a few items from the market and then picked up food from Basquia to enjoy a nice lunch together in the seating area. Basquia offers the bakery classics, from fresh breads, cakes, and popular café drinks, but what makes it stand out is the addition of distinctly Korean food menu items. The lighting is bright yet calming, and there's plenty of seating. The staff was patient and friendly, a sweet *Pane Rose Tteokbokki: This was great! It had a flavorful kick with just the right amount of spice, balanced by the creaminess typical of Korean rose sauce. There was a generous portion of tteokbokki, plus little pieces of toasted bread that complemented it well. The bread bowl itself was an added bonus that made it perfect for tearing apart and eating with the sauce. This dish can comfortably be shared between two people or enjoyed by one very hungry person. *Strawberry Matcha Latte: This was a delicious classic. The balance and amount of strawberry compote and matcha was spot-on. It wasn't overly sweet, and the strawberry flavor really stood out. I only wish it came in a clear cup for a better photo, but that's a small detail compared to how good it tasted. Overall, Basquia Bakery is a lovely spot, and I'm glad it's here! I recommend eating before grocery shopping; I always end up buying more food when I'm hungry without realizing it. I'd definitely come back again with my family or to catch up with friends when I visit Daly City. read more

Delicious great offerings. Always fresh and tasty. Their food is not too sweet . Their designs and decorations are always tempting and special. The service is always polite and friendly. I love shopping there read more

So this bakery is known for their rice flour rather than cake flour, so it's great for gluten free people. I find their bread hard and not tasty, because of the rice flour. Their melon drink with banana cream was way too sweet and in general the prices here are 30% higher than 85 bakery nearby. read more

Our go‑to rice bakery with friendly service. The strawberry cake is our absolute favorite, and every dessert we have tried so far is delicious.

Basquia Bakery was a bit of a let down with food more for Instagram, but none of the substance. WIth all the hype around Jagalchi, I was excited and impressed with the aesthetics of the whole place. Basquia Bakery is one of the businesses that is readily accessible from the Korean market. Unfortunately, none of the food items that I tried were enough for me to recommend coming back. Pane Tteokbokki (2.5/5): Given the high reviews, I admittedly came with high expectations but was left underwhelmed. The rose sauce was a good mix of spicy and creamy. However, the tteok (rice cakes) inside were soggy to the point where it felt overcooked. Plus, not sure if having the tteokbokki in a bread bowl adds anything to the experience except more carbs? Sweet Potato Cake (4/5): Such a satisfying not-too-sweet bite! The sweet potato adds the right amount of sweetness and extra texture to each bite. I would have given more but the mousse felt like it had ice in it as if it had been in the freezer. Black Sesame Ssulpang (3/5): Slightly sweet with a slight taste of makgeoli which is Korean rice wine. It also had a light black sesame flavor to it, but wish there was a bit more. Maybe the flavor was overpowered by the cream which was okay but felt out of place. Service was pretty quick. As mentioned earlier, this is connected to Jagalchi so the parking is dependent on how busy the market and surrounding businesses are. Overall, Basquia Bakery has beautiful products, but I would be reluctant in going back. read more

I'm giving this place three stars because overall, I felt underwhelmed. I tried the cream sulpang, and the cream-to-bread ratio was off, there wasn't much filling. The bread itself tasted flat and lacked the subtle sweet, nutty flavor I've had elsewhere. I also tried the strawberry shortcake-style cake. The cream wasn't too sweet (which I liked), but the cake texture wasn't as fluffy as I expected and felt slightly dense for the price. For drinks, I had the sesame latte (black sesame paste) and the cold brew salt cream. Both were fine, just nothing memorable. Nothing was terrible, but for the cost, I expected more depth and better texture. It wasn't bad, just average and a bit overpriced in my opinion. read more

Service was quick and there was still ample selection during our visit on the weekday evening. Sulpang had a variety of flavors and were not too sweet. Fruit flavors were obviously there and not too overwhelming. A tasty treat if you're in the area!! read more

This bakery is a great place to visit on a Monday evening. In contrast to how busy it is on weekends, it's quiet and there's plenty of seating. The seating area is always very clean and well kept. Staff here works hard. Cashier Shin was very accommodating in helping us pack cakes separately. We got three of the sulpang: chocolate, cream, and melon. Of the three, my favorite was the chocolate. All three are Not Too Sweet. Overall I would recommend for an easy weekday dessert! read more

Good variety, located inside a supermarket. For a rice bakery, everything was sweet.. What we got: - Dark Chocolate Bread - actually not too sweet, bread is spongy, chewy, and soft (4.5/5) - Raspberry Cream Bread - sweet, raspberry flavors comes through well, strong (4/5) - Matcha Pound Cake - can taste the matcha but it's very sweet, matcha cream (hardened) is crumbly (3.7/5) - Matcha Dream (drink) - strong matcha, sweet (4/5) read more

This is my first time trying sulppang at Basquia. I chose the black sesame and matcha cream flavor. It comes packaged in a nice box which makes it feel fancy :) The first thing I was surprised by was how heavy it is in terms of weight. It feels very dense but it actually isn't. The bread is glossy on top and has a chewy, sponge cake texture. The matcha cream was light on matcha flavor, but tasted good and added much needed sweetness to an otherwise not very sweet bread. The black sesame flavor was similarly light but very pleasant. Overall I really enjoyed the texture and flavors. Excited to try other flavors in the future! read more

The first time I came this bakery was cleaned out but this time, it was pretty stocked up with the pound cakes and the sulpang. The sulpang actually looked really nice and fluffy and I can understand why these got a lot of hype. We did try the melokick drink today because we weren't super hungry to get more pastries after brunch and it was nice treat! It was essentially honeydew milk but the sweet banana powder was interesting! read more

The first time I came to Basquia when opened they were all sold out. Tonight, at 7 pm they still had decent amount of pastries and cake slices left. The hype has finally died down. They have a lot of different sulpang pastries that are made with makegoli or Korean rice wine. I could taste it in the pastry and it wasn't really sweet except for the cream. The pastry itself is fluffy. Not everyone will like it but it's good to try. read more

Basquia Bakery - Strawberry sulpang $4.50 - Bakeries Near Me - Daly City, California

Basquia Rice Bakery is housed at the Jalgachi Korean grocery at Serramonte Mall. Visiting on a weekday is the best option for variety and stocked shelves. I bought the s'mores cookie, madeleine, lemon and earl grey pound cake. Visually, items look delicious and wasn't expecting crumbly and dry but remembered items made with rice flour which doesn't contain gluten. So definitely not as moist or fluffy and more dense. Flavor-wise the s'mores cookie was good but overall, wasn't a fan of the texture. Friends agreed with the cookies and sulpang, (Korean steamed bread) that items were 'ok' and wouldn't get again. Just a preference. I haven't tried the cakes like the mango mousse which looked delicious and possibly try in the future. Basquia Rice Bakery is a great option if you have a gluten allergy or Celiac or prefer less sugar in your desserts. Service was friendly and efficient and the bakery bright and inviting. Elevated my rating from 2 stars for items purchased and an extra star for service and marketing. read more

I tried the sulpang here the last time I was at Jalgachi Market as the cream filled sulpang looks so yummy and I couldn't resist. It was difficult to choose which one to try but I settled on the injeolmi (soybean powder) sulpang for a lighter treat. Loved the texture of the sulpang which is made with rice flower so it's light and chewy. The injeolmi powder on top added a great nutty flavor and the cream inside added a nice sweetness without being too heavy or overly sweet. My friend and I shared one but felt like we could have eaten 2 more because it was light enough. We'll definitely try more flavors the next time we come to Jalgachi! read more

Came here on a Saturday around 12 and the line ebbs and flows. Sometimes it's long, sometimes there was no line. But the line moves pretty fast! I didn't get a chance to try the pastries but everything looked SO GOOD. However I got a chance to try the pan rose ttokbokki in a bread bowl and it was yummy! The flavor profile resembled the carbonara buldak but with a lot less spice. Would definitely come back to get again! read more

Excited that we got to try this bakery out back in September. At the time we arrived the bakery was hardly busy and there was plenty of seating. We decided to try out two different kinds of the sulpang. We got the Dubai bread and black sesame.These sulpang didn't taste sweet at all, it was lacking. To us it tasted kind of dry, we were disappointed with these. The only highlight from this bakery would have to be the dalgona spanner. It's so good! This is my must get drink here. read more

Basquia Bakery is part of Jalgachi in Serramonete mall. I'm not sure if Basquia Bakery is an independent company or a spinoff. The place was packed, with most of the seating taken; lots of folks ordering drinks and getting snacks. We wandered in to take a look at what all the fuss was about. I never heard of Sulpang, so thought I'd give it a try. #KoreanSnacks ~ Plain Sulpang - 3/5 Needs something. The Matcha spread was perfect compliment ~ Cream Sulpang: Injeolmi Custard - 3/5 This could be so much better. The flavor was decent, could definitely taste the Injeolmi, but there wasn't enough custard. Pricey for that it was. ~ Matcha Spread - 3.5/5 A bit too light on the flavor, very subtle. I wish it had stronger Matcha flavor, not too sweet and easy to spread. I might need to try some other items on the menu, so far Basquia Bakery was just OK for me, nothing to rave about. read more

Got these three cakes. The plain one was very hard on the top, so it was not enjoyable. The injealmi was stuffed with filling. It was softer than the plain one but it was just ok. The black sesame had green tea filling. It was better than the others because of the black sesame cake which was soft in consistency and it had a green tea filling which was light and just sweet enough (not too sweet) , so I'd recommend that one. We also got Dubai chocolate. That was my first time trying it, so I have no frame of reference but it was super sweet, so I wouldn't get it again because of that. It had a crunchy interior with pistachios and other ingredients. The bakery items are just ok. It is cheaper than Paris Baguette but Paris baguette tastes a lot better. read more

I bought a slice of strawberry cake here one night and it was one of the worst slices of cake I've had this year. The cake was extremely dry and the strawberry was definitely previously frozen - it came out very mushy. The cream had a nice flavor and was the only saving grace. I did come on a not busy weeknight and maybe they were just off? But it really disappointed me just how bad a simple strawberry cake ended up being. Staff was cool though, and service was quick. I do like that they have indoor seating but please give me a reason to want to eat here. read more

I recently went and saw that they have a new strawberry inspired drink menu. I was very excited about it and decided to get their strawberry oolong milk tea. Unfortunately, the drink was pretty disappointing. It was basically strawberry syrup( I'm sure it's freshly made), with regular milk and a black tea packet. It just tasted like strawberry milk without any tea flavor. I guess it would've tasted more like oolong tea if I let the tea bag steep longer but I thought it would've been a premade milk tea already. At least the drink came out pretty quickly and the area is clean with seating available. read more
