Small bakery located in the plaza that also has Tokyo Fried Chicken and Big Softee. Nothing really popped out to me when we visited but we did get some pastries and bread and they tasted pretty standard. read more

A gem in the area. They do great custom cakes and we love their fruit tarts. Everyone there is friendly when you have their attention. I got a cake for a 1 year old birthday party. I like how the cake turned out with a custom design. Parking: Huge lot in the front. Overall: Will be back for the fruit tart read more

The ladies here are very nice. She wanted to make sure I tried the sample of their black sesame bread. It was fluffy and soft; perfect sweetness for bread meaning not too sweet which I prefer. I got a Chinese tamale also. I just finished the flaky taro bun and wow it was so good. It was fresh and flaky. I will definitely go back to get that again. read more

I have been searching high and low across the SGV for a red bean bun with a pineapple top. Coming from the NY/NJ area, this was my favorite Chinese bakery item, but for some reason I haven't been able to find one anywhere in LA until Diamond Bakery! It's not quite the same as what I grew up eating--the red bean paste is smooth and doesn't have any mashed whole beans with skins in it--but I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet, the way some red bean paste can be, and that the pineapple crust was crunchy with good coverage over the bread. I can't speak to their other items, but in case anyone else is missing this kind of bun now that they moved to LA, know that you can get your fix here! Do come in the morning though, because last weekend they were sold out when I went around 2pm. read more

My sister went to get a cake it was delicious and everyone in the party love it. Thank you

Their cake isn't the cheapest in the SGV area, but I really liked their Chocolate Delight cake! It has a crunch layer in the middle of the cake, which reminded me of the crunchy "cookie bottom" that are popular in Hong Kong bakeries when I was young. Order over the phone for pick up was easy, parking lot was empty when I went to pick up and it was at a convenient location. read more

I ordered an 8" round taro cake from Diamond Bakery in Monterey Park. It costs $37.50 (not cheap). The outside is light purple, on the top are strawberries, macaroons, blueberries. The inside has 2 layers of yellow cakes and taro pastes in the middle. I bought it for July 4th. It is delicious. It's sweet. I also bought 2 ham & cheese sandwiches. Each one costs $4 or $5 (not cheap). Diamond Bakery has good cakes!! read more

I ordered the wedding cake 4 days in advanced and told them I would pick it up at 8am. Knowing it's an asian bakery, most likely there would be a delay, I showed up at 9:30am to pick up and realized my cake was still not ready! They gave me a cake without any decorations on the top and said it doesn't come with decorations. I told the owner (male cantonese speaking guy) that I paid extra $15 for the swans and the decorations like the picture. The employees then went to look for the swans and I was told that they ran out of swans. Since I paid for the decorations I asked them that at least decorate the top with something so it wouldn't look as plain. They then took the cake back and I waited for another 15mins and still not ready, but then I had to leave because the wedding ceremony was at 10am. I went back at 11am and I was told that the cake was still not ready. The employee said they waited for me to show me if I was ok with the swans before placing them on. I said yes, those are the decorations as shown on picture. They took the cake to the back again to place the swans on and then boxed it. Upon opening the cake up, I realized something was weird with the swans, they didn't look right to me, are the swans supposed to look away from each other???? I then googled pics for swans and realized they are supposed to face each other to form a heart shape. When the wedding couples were taking pictures, I had to repositioned the swans to face each other. I was really embarrassed with the cake since I got it for the newly wed couple as a wedding gift! Very disappointed at this bakery! Though the cake looked really nice but the cake was reallly dry. Please dont order your wedding cake at this place, it will probably ruin your wedding day with frustrations that the cake is either not ready or not what you ordered/expected and paid for. read more

My family and I always order cakes from Diamond. They absolutely never disappoint! We typically order the sponge cake with either banana, strawberry, or both. This was my first customized order and they did even better than I even expected. I had a combination of two inspo images and this was better than I could've asked for. Thank you! read more

Diamond Bakery - Sponge cake with banana filling - Bakeries Near Me - Monterey Park, California

The cakes here use to be delicious, but sadly it has been subpar lately. I ordered a two tiered cake (yellow sponge cake, custard filling with strawberries) around this same time last year and it was delicious! My only complaint with that cake was that the top tier was not held up strongly, so it toppled over. And when I mentioned this to the baker recently, she shrugged it off as if it was no big deal. Wow, excellent feedback. I decided to order another birthday cake here. To order a custom cake, you have to email them with a description of the cake and when you need it by. I included my sketch and pictures to give them an idea how I wanted the cake as well. Someone then responds with a quote. Well, I did all that and received just the quote ($48.50) and no other instructions. When I emailed them back for the next step, I recieved no response. So I called the bakery and was told I needed to come in to pay. I took my lunch break to come here to pay for my order, and the older lady had trouble finding my email request. It took about 15 minutes for the lady to find my email. There was definitely a lack of communication between the individual providing quotes for custom cakes and the bakers at this shop. To top this off, I told the older lady that I want yellow sponge cake with CUSTARD filling and strawberries. She shook off my request and said, "We give you what we want to give you." So I kindly repeated myself and she ignored me. The staffs here are usually nice to me, but this was the first time someone was rude! The design of the cake came out how I had sketched it, so I was happy about that. But they ended up putting WHIP cream instead of custard as the filling. I was so upset by this that I refused to even eat the cake. If you decide to order a custom cake, you'll need patience and an attitude to get what you want around here. read more

This bakery has been around a long time, as I remember coming here when I was a young adult. Now that I'm an old adult, this place is still in business. Today, needing a quick thank you box of goodies, this place was the closes bakery that I could think of. Staffers were quick to greet, very nice and helpful, place was clean. All the pastries looked good and fresh. But because of time, I was not able to personally try anything, but remembering from the past, never had any problems with the freshness or taste. With all these super bakery businesses, like 85 degree opening up all around, you have to wonder how long can Diamond stay open. They should be fine, still a local favorite in the City of Monterey Park. For me, those big bakery's are nice, but the smaller one are good too, close parking, quick in and out, and more attentiveness from the staffers. I'm still a fan, 4 stars. read more

Oh my gosh, we ordered a birthday cake from here on Christmas Day through DoorDash, and the cake received was SO BEAUTIFUL and SO DELICIOUS. It was freshly baked, and the strawberries were so big and juicy. I was worried we would get a leftover cake since it was first thing in the morning, but it was all fresh! Thank you so much Diamond Bakery! It's hard celebrating birthdays on Christmas, but you made it happen! Will be back for the dan tats and more cakes. read more

Honestly this has been my go to bakery for many years, probably over 14 years. Their filo cake (sponge cake with flaky crust in the middle) is so good. I love their regular pastries also. Their prices are extremely reasonable for cakes. You really can't go wrong with them. Their fruit tart cakes and mango cakes are good also. I like this place so much that I am literally ordering my wedding cake here and a whole sheet filo cake. This place has been around for decades, they are def doing something right ! Highly recommend this place. read more

Yassssss and amen. I have always had cake from this bakery. It's been here for years. I love the spongy white strawberry cake sooooo good. It's my all time fav. 6' $28 9' $31 I had them write "just bc" just because I wanted a cake! Yes, so good. They have locations in Rowland Heights, San Gabriel & MP. Inside was hot no AC running. read more

I bought flaky pastries at Diamond in Monterey Park. The oil was rancid. When I looked at the three that I bought, there were two different color dots, assuming marking two different production dates. Both color dot pastries had the rancid tastes so the assumption is that they used the same bucket of old oil. I'm not going back to Diamond in MP again. read more

Mango cake. A work of art. Makes a great picture...and had a lot of wow factor when it approached the table. Delicious. Creamy. Real mango with real mango flavor. Not too sweet. Service was fast and helpful. Gave great advice when I ordered the cake two days before needed...and the cake was ready for pickup on time. Got great advice on how to serve the cake. [Take off the fruit first, then slice, then add back the fruit to each serving.]. The white chocolate "card" ...and the inscription... and the small "happy birthday" plastic sign was all free. Only drawback, the actual handwriting on the chocolate was a little shaky, and not as practiced or professional as it could have been...and it was written in a brown color, so not the most festive of colors for an 80th birthday greeting for a female. I decided not to place it on the cake...it was perfection as is. BUT the star of the event -- the birthday girl AND this gorgeous delicious photogenic mango cake. Thanks Diamond Bakery for adding to the happiness. read more

Trying to support local businesses! Went for a jog the other morning and wanted to pick up dim sum at Yum Cha, but sadly this place was closed. I remembered going to this bakery as a kid, as it was in the same complex as Sanrio. So I came here and picked up some pastries and some raison bread. The ladies working there weren't very friendly, didn't greet me. I tried to pay at the cash register and the lady stared me down and asked me to pull up my mask. I get that, but dang, I am trying to support your business. Try and be a little friendlier? I guess I should expect this type of service growing up here. Bread and pastries were good. read more

We walked in around 6 pm on Sunday to grab a cake and some buns for breakfast, but I was a bit disappointed here. I used to come here all the time and there were a good selection of items, but today, it seems like slim pickings. It's pretty dimly lit and not at all welcoming inside the bakery. The ladies don't greet you nor ask if you need any help. BLEH Cakes are pretty and are decent tasting... it's just that it was slim pickings in terms of selection and they're a bit pricey and didn't include candles or a cake cutter (boo!) They didn't even ask! They share a parking lot with Tokyo Fried Chicken and Hotpot Hotpot. Overall, I've had better and disappointed. read more

I was looking for 6" cakes because I didn't want a big one and since other bakeries around were closed around 10:30 a.m., I got to Diamond Bakery. Cakes are very pretty and tasty but the price is so high, starting at $30.50 for a 6" cake. Service was very in point so that compensate the other stars. Overall, this was ok and my only complaint is the price. read more

Excited to try the bakery, yet when we walked in was close to closing time and no one greeted us. It was kind of awkward because they were counting items. Either way we got four different desserts and only one disappointed. The tiramisu was sour and the cookies on it was a flaky flavor. We definitely recommend the fruit tart it was perfect! As well as there egg tarts had a fulfilling flavor in a small bite! read more

I came here because my coworker bought Portuguese egg tarts from here for the office, and I thought they were really good. We bought some bread, buns and egg tarts one day after work. I must say that I will never come back because we saw some really disgusting stuff inside a bun (see picture). We couldn't figure out what it is, but we will never go back because later we found some other stuff in another bread. Makes me sick now even thinking about it. We threw the rest away...so sad and gross. read more

Diamond bakery was literally my childhood. Every birthday, every celebration was an ice cream cake from this bakery. Recently, I celebrated my 30th birthday and wanted the pineapple coconut ice cream cake that I loved so much. My boyfriend went to the bakery and asked for it but none of the workers knew what he was talking about. After a few workers, the owner came out from the back and actually customized my pineapple ice cream cake!! It was so delicious and exactly like I remembered it. It literally made my birthday! read more

Surprised to see such low reviews It's yummy who cares about the service, shut up & eat it - pork bun 5/5 - curry bun 5/5 - ham egg sandwich 3/5 read more

The wife and I love this place. We've never had any of the cakes, though they look nice. The gem of this place is entirely in the bao. This is a chinese bakery , so the folks here speak cantonese and they make a mean dan tat the hongkong egg tart. Personally my standard is the curry bun or the pork buns, but theres really no wrong choices. Amazingly good red bean and taro. You can tell the quality because the bread is as good as the filling, but plenty of filling too. We stop at this bakery essentially any time we are heading further east than down town like clock work. That's how good it is. Only down side is they don't sell milk tea too, so you have to go next door. So don't bother with 85 if you are anywhere near this place. Go here for sure. read more

Every Lunar New Year, my family stops by Diamond Bakery for 5+ containers of their fried sesame dough twists. This year they only had Half-and-Half containers of fried sesame dough twists and fried sesame balls, so we got some of those. We actually prefer the FRIED SESAME BALLS (9/10) this time so I'm so glad we got them! The FRIED SESAME DOUGH TWISTS (8/10) were good but not as phenomenally good as I remember them being last year...perhaps the recipe changed? But I'll still happily eat them lol. read more
