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. Overall, I'd love to try other items the bakery offers!

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!

If ever in Montebello, be sure to stop at Chapala Bakery…read more This bakery specializes in Mexican sweet bread, and they know how to do it well. 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.

I placed an order for a cake last week for my father-in-law while he was visiting from out of town…read more This bakery has always been his favorite bakery, and he has enjoyed their cakes for many years while living in Montebello. When I called to place the order, I was directed to submit it online. I completed the online order and received a text confirmation stating that I would receive a response within two days. After two days passed with no response, I called to follow up and was told that someone would be contacting me regarding my order. Another two days passed without any communication, so I called again to check on the status. At that point, I was informed that my order had never actually been placed because a deposit was required. However, I was never informed of any deposit requirement during the ordering process or in any of the communications I received. I was then told that, unfortunately, the bakery would not be able to make the custom cake. I explained the entire situation and shared how much this cake meant to my father-in-law, as this bakery has been a special place for him over the years. Despite explaining the circumstances, no effort was made to find a solution. As a business owner myself, I understand that mistakes can happen. However, I also believe in doing everything possible to make things right for customers when issues arise. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Due to the lack of communication, misinformation, and poor customer service, I will not be ordering from this bakery again and cannot recommend it to others.

Stopped by Brioche Pastries after calling ahead to get an idea of what they had available. 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.

I picked up their classic egg tarts, Portuguese-style egg tarts, and the honey bun. The egg tarts…read morewere the highlight for me--the custard was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet, while the crust had a nice buttery, flaky texture. 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.

They rang me to let me know it was ready. In the cake front, it was a 3 layer white cake, with 2 layers of taro between them. As per usual, it wasn't too sweet. Just a hint of sugar overall, and very enjoyable. The taro layers were DENSE. It's like they boiled the root, peeled it, and put it in a blender with a bit of sugar. That thick, rich paste was slathered in between the layers. The flavor was intense. I was looking for something a bit lighter, but this wasn't a bad offering by any means.

The customer…read moreservice is great-- they let you sample some of their breads by the cashier, and take the time to explain any questions you have about their cakes. The cake pick up process is very straightforward-- they just require you to bring the receipt that you got when you paid. They are on time with the cake pick up times, and the cakes always come out fresh and light! I've had the taro egg pudding, mango egg pudding, and I think the strawberry egg pudding one. The taro and mango egg pudding cakes were so yummy! The cakes have 3 layers and they have the fillings in between. The egg pudding isn't as fragrant as I'd hoped since you can barely taste it as the other flavors are stronger, but it gives the cake a nice moist layer. I also enjoy their breads. The size and price are still good and they accept card payments! Bakery is clean and organized. They have a small seating area if you get drinks and dessert and want to sit down. They do charge for a bag, so bring one if you plan to buy multiple breads to save on that $$.
