Everyone that had a slice of the cake was also very shocked at how good it tasted. The cream is light, the mango portions are extremely generous, and the sponge cake in the middle is the perfect size. It was all very well balanced. I genuinely felt the love that went into this cake. The facility does also bake with almonds and walnuts. For anyone with peanut allergies, contaminants is not something to worry about.

I wished we had arrived earlier to be able to enjoy more of the sold out offerings, but next time we'll arrive right when they open. We ordered a dozen crinkle cookies for a Mother's Day lunch - enjoying the sweet ube and the spiced thai tea versions. Both were great compliments to each other - more perfectly sweet and the other a bit more herbal. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - nice crunchy edges and slightly gooey soft inside. The ube tres leches was a little disappointing as there wasn't any tres leches cake at the bottom, just crumbly graham crackers resting below exquisite ube mousse. It could have been mislabeled, but it was essentially just ube mousse with crumbly graham crackers for texture. The staff were friendly and the store is so fun!

As a first-time visitor, I had no idea what to expect when I walked in with my sister and daughter. I was surprised by how big this bakery was and how many bread options it offers customers. I purchased several pieces for myself and took a sample from each piece. Each piece of bread was soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Being a lifelong fan of Mexican sweet bread, I can truly appreciate the bread sold here. The young lady who assisted us was very friendly, outgoing, and helpful. Prices were very affordable, which can be dangerous, as I was so tempted to buy many more pieces of bread than the six or seven I purchased I will definitely return soon.

Under new management, this place has gone drastically DOWNHILL! The shelves are no longer filled with delectable breads and pastries as customer interest at this once popular bakery has waned. My friend and I are sitting here at Amy's in the extreme heat because they refuse to run their air-conditioning. Even the poor employees are sweating. No wonder people aren't patronizing this establishment like they used to. The employees are still friendly and kind, but they've now been told by their manager that they must charge extra $$ for ICE, oat milk, or soy milk when coffee is purchased. The baked goods at Amy's are still good; however, their selection is greatly limited and coffee, especially decaf, is not available. A bakery without coffee...What the heck?! I used to work at Amy's Pastry when it was in its heyday and lines were out the door. Hoping to see this once iconic bakery back to what it used to be.

They…read moreweren't able to go over the menu on the phone and said I would need to come in to see what was available. They also mentioned that their display case was broken, so everything was being kept in the back, which made it a little difficult to know what the options were before getting there. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how HOT it was. There didn't seem to be any AC, and it was honestly uncomfortable. For a bakery with cakes and pastries, I was also a little surprised and wondering how everything stays fresh in that kind of heat. I ended up getting a chocolate chip cookie, a slice of Funfetti cake, and a slice of Grandma's Chocolate Cake. The Funfetti was definitely the standout -- super moist and really good. The chocolate cake was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. I haven't tried the cookie yet, so TBD on that one. Overall, the Funfetti was good, but the experience itself could use some improvement, especially with the lack of AC and not being able to easily see or understand what was available.

The Portuguese-style tart had that beautiful caramelized top that added an extra layer of flavor. Everything looked fresh and beautifully baked, and the pastries had that comforting Hong Kong bakery style that makes you want to keep coming back for more. The bakery itself is small and more of a grab-and-go spot, but the service was quick and friendly. Their egg tarts are also popular enough that they can sell out, especially on busy weekends, so going earlier is a good idea. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Monterey Park and love traditional Chinese/Hong Kong pastries. The egg tarts are a must-try!

With the bread racks out, they seem to have tons of stock to fulfill the entire day which is great. Interior is moderately clean, although the AC wasn't working at all so it was pretty stuffy inside. In the middle there's tons of non bread desserts so check those out as well. My favorite is always and forever the pineapple bread (bolo bao) it's always such a savory snack and there's even other variations of the bread, but the original triumphs. Near the front of the middle section, there's always some free samples for customers to try. A great way to find what you want to purchase if you can't find a item that you like. They always do BOGOs drinks and they're pretty refreshing especially on a hot day. My favorite goes to their matcha latte. Very refreshing and affordable. It's not watered down at all which makes the quality decent.

This place is awesome. I can see Gordon Ramsey stopping by to do a makeover. Recommendations. Self service Kiosk like Panera. Pretty signs from a local print shop or Staples. Even Groupon. Now for the positive, food is awesome, cooked right and fresh. The pozole was enough to feed two small appetites. Or you can have two servings! The bread is fresh. The chicharron tamale needs at least 4-6 strips. Two is a little bit skimpy. The cheese tamales were tasty and better than other places. I like that they have a a lot of beverages on hand and some desserts to go like flan and jello and homemade tortillas! read more

I was going to my friend's house and bought Pumpkin-filled Empanadas and Jalepeno Cheese rolls to share. This bakery make the best buttery and flakey rolls I every had. Ask for the "Cuerno de Mantequilla." It resembles a croissant, no need to add any butter it is the main ingredient and already baked in it. You may buy individual pieces or by the dozen for $35. They are worth every penny and calorie. In the center of the shop is a "cart" with assorted pre-packed cookies and pastries ready to go. This is a good way to sample a variety of their goods and discover which are your favorites. If you want true and traditional Mexican bread, I highly recommend this bakery. They are open 7 days a week from 6AM-9PM. These hours are convenient for nearly anyone's schedule. Note: They have a small parking lot for your convenience (no charge). Sincerely, Rosemary

Sure, but it what I was expecting. The taco had great flavors but the shell was a bit soggy for "crispy" taco and I couldn't really taste the meat. The chili had he best overall flavor, but was mostly beans and little meat or "juice" which is how I like my chili. Service was awesome and prices very reasonable, which is why I want to go back and try a few more dishes, but they really should get our hopes up with signs that say wood fired pizza and then give us flatbread pizza.
