KK is a cute bakery that's unfortunately pretty easy to miss if you aren't looking for it…read more Staff is friendly and helpful. Items are self-serve, with the exception of a few refrigerated desserts and drinks, and you pay at the counter. There are a few stools inside, but otherwise no interior/exterior seating - it's more of a grab & go type establishment anyway. No restroom. Limited parking is available in the small shared lot, or you can try to find street parking (no issues with space in the morning). Mild noise level. They offer a good variety of both sweet and savory breads, cookies, and pastries, as well as meat buns, premade and custom cakes, and a few drinks. Everything I've tried so far has been flavorful, moist, and tasty. I will definitely be back to try the cake slices. Prices are fair. This is one of my favorite places, especially when I'm buying bulk amounts to feed friends. 10/10 recommend.

This is a new asian bakery in the plaza with pho next door and haircut and water refill shops…read more Parking is terrible, ifkyk. They took over the donut shop, so inside still kinda look like it with the coffee machine and lotto. They have nice bread display though. The bread are yummy. If I'm nearby I'll definitely buy more. They have unique flavors like sticky rice bun (literally inside taste like the sticky rice chinese dessert, so far my favorite!) and I also got brown sugar boba bread. The lady is nice. I paid tap with my phone.

It was my first time ordering from this place and omg I LOVE this place. I needed a small cake for…read moremy friend's engagement celebration and I'm so glad I found this place. The cake was so delicious and honestly one of the cutest cakes I've ever ordered. The owner was super accommodating, I was able to pick it up a little early with no issues, which I really appreciated. And can we talk about the packaging?? SO. DAMN. CUTE. ( I forgot to take a pic but it was nicely wrapped) The original cake design had a little bear, but she changed it to a red heart, which was so nice and fit the theme perfectly. I'll 100% be ordering more from them for all my future occasions!!!

When I first saw this place, I thought it was just a specialty cake shop. I did not expect them to…read morehave an extensive menu of premium bubble tea drinks as well. It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby. The matcha drinks and house special milk teas are pretty good. I would recommend the Brulee Matcha Shake, which has a smooth and creamy texture and is somehow not overly sweet. Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.

We celebrated 2 people's birthday and father's day early and got some cakes here last week. They…read morewere delicious, though there were somw mixed reviews about the basque cheesecake. It was awesome that there were some samples to try and that definitely helped in my decision for my daughter's birthday cake in a couple months. For the 2 birthday cakes, we got the rainbow cake and Basque cheesecake. And for father's day we had the banana cream pie. From sampling the available cakes, my favorite is the Vietnamese Tres Leshes and Ube Hopia cake. Instead of the Basque Cheesecake, we should have grabbed the Sesame Basque Cheesecake. It tasted better, for our taste at least. For the most part everything we tried was delicious. Definitely coming back for some single serve desserts.

I've already been a fan of Wild Whisk, but they just became my very favorite bakery today…read morebecause... they now sell my favorite tamales from Tamale Alberto in Echo Park!! I used to live much closer to Echo Park and Alberto was my go-to tamale purveyor. I'd stack frozen tamales in my freezer because my kids love them and could heat them up for breakfast even when they were very young. I live in SGV now so going to Alberto's is a bit of a trek and we don't get to have their tamales often. Well, not anymore! Apparently the owner also loves Alberto's tamales and asked to co-sell them in her bakery. They've been selling these tamales since Christmas... and I just now discovered this! No more long treks to get these tasties! And of course all of Wild Whisk's fancy baked goods will make excellent desserts after your tamale meal! Spread the word! Best baked goods AND tamales in the 'hood!!

I found Fortune Bakery while searching Yelp for sugar free desserts, and I was pleasantly surprised…read moreby the variety they offer. They have sugar free muffins, cookies, and cakes. The cakes must be preordered, and the smallest one looks to be around 8 inches. I'm definitely planning to order the sugar free strawberry shortcake one day. During my visit, I tried the walnut muffin, strawberry muffin, walnut and raspberry cookies. I really enjoyed the muffins. They weren't overly sweet and were very moist. At $3 each, I thought they were reasonably priced, especially for sugar free baked goods. The walnut cookies were just okay for me. I wasn't a fan of the texture and was expecting them to be a little chewier. I liked the raspberry cookies though. It was delicious and I couldn't tell they were sugar free. The customer service was good. I stopped by close to closing time, and the woman helping me was still friendly and pleasant. I'm so glad I found this diabetic friendly bakery.

My husband and I cannot recommend Fortune Bakery enough! We wanted a simple, "not-too-sweet"…read morewedding cake (iykyk) for our April reception, preferably one that harkened back to my childhood growing up in the SGV. The classic, nostalgic look of Fortune Bakery's cakes (the old-school red gelee for lettering, the soft whipped piping all around) absolutely fit the bill and we placed our order about 2 weeks prior to our wedding reception. The timing initially made me nervous, but fear not-they're on top of things and your cake will be ready as promised! The folks at Fortune Bakery were so friendly and accommodating. Joe was totally game to take on my design requests (orange and white roses with vines; Chinese character for double happiness) and even offered to open up the bakery early on Saturday morning so we could pick up the cake and deliver it to our venue nearby in Pasadena (note: you must arrange for your own cake pickup). We ordered a vanilla with strawberry sheet cake for our guests (fed 75 guests with plenty leftover) and a single layer 7"inch vanilla with mango cake for us to display/cut. The cake was as delicious as expected and a huge hit with our guests. I was more than happy to eat leftover cake for breakfast for a week and look forward to celebrating our wedding anniversary with a vanilla mango cake for many years to come. Support these amazing local legacy shops!

Nobody does it quite like Karena. I met her 4-5 years ago…read morewhen I desperately needed a cake for graduation and she not only made the cake in a two days notice, she completely blew my mind! If I didn't move to San Diego, she would still be my consistent cake lady. I absolutely love her! When I first ordered, she had followed-up asking if the cakes were up to par with the taste and if they lasted well. I had to say, not only was it pretty to look at - it didn't taste bad either! Usually it's a sacrifice for one or the other! I've ordered over 6+ cakes with her and will definitely continue whenever I'm in the area. The amount of buttercream flavoring choices and real fruit used inside the cake... you really can't go wrong if you order from Karena!

Have you ever looked up beautiful pieces of artwork and wondered how the artist did it? Even more…read moreso, if that artwork could be placed in your hand and be given as a gift? Karena is incredibly talented. I can't even begin to talk about my wonderful experience. I showed her a few pictures of inspiration and she told me what she could and couldn't do. Once we agreed on an inspiration picture and idea she put my specifications to work and low and behold, an absolute masterpiece! The detail on each part of the artwork was outstanding. The person I gifted it to was ecstatic. If you take a look at each picture printed and cut out perfectly, the teacup molded to the perfect size, each colored detail intricately placed, absolutely every single thing done with prose and care. Talk about a passion for what she does. You absolutely won't be disappointed. Talk about a date, talk about a time, and she will work it out with you. She communicates incredibly quickly and will be sure to make you happy!

I cannot begin to express how pleased I am with my experience here…read more I have called around to numerous bakeries and this was the only one that was within our budget! I think it's ridiculous other stores are charging $125+ for a 6 inch gender reveal cake (no decorations/ no writing). Is it because it's a gender reveal cake with either pink or blue frosting so they have to hike up the ridiculous prices?! Look no further everyone!! Get all your baked goods and beautifully made cakes here! Other places also want a week's notice before pick up. This spot is only 1 day!! I spoke to the owner over the phone and gave him the details of what my vision was for the cake. He made my vision come true, but even better than I thought it would be! And because you order the cake one day ahead, you can taste how moist and fresh the cake actually is! Versus if you were to order a week in advance anywhere else, the cake would be dry and brittle!! I cannot stress enough how happy I am with my experience here. From my inquiry over the phone up until pick up. I am very very pleased and will continue to come to this establishment. They truly deserve all the praise. THANK YOU for an amazing experience that my hubby and I will never forget!

Honestly, whenever I need a Chinese style birthday cake, I always end up coming to Sunny Bakery…read more For me, this is one of the go to spots in the SGV. Their cakes are the classic Chinese bakery style, light sponge cake layered with fruit and whipped cream. They make custom cakes in all different sizes and I think the pricing is pretty reasonable for what you get. Best of all, the cakes are fresh and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like them. This time I ordered a quarter sheet chocolate cake with chocolate cream. It was really good, rich enough to taste like chocolate but not so sweet that it became overwhelming. Everyone at the party seemed to enjoy it. They also open at 8am which makes pickup convenient if you need a cake for an early event. One little bonus: if you pay cash, there's usually a small discount. Let's just say Uncle Sam might not be getting invited to that party. Overall, a reliable bakery that I've been coming back to for years.
