I had no problem finding parking. They had a few people ordering at the front, and a few people eating in the back. I perused the available cake (and pie) slices and other smaller baked goods, but did not see the Blackout Cake Slice! When I asked the staff, they regretfully informed me that they did not have slices that day, so I went with the next best option... an 8" cake! I didn't get any writing on the cake, as I already had a Happy Birthday candle, and I didn't want to add extra icing to the cake. I liked how well they package the cake. The box was large enough, and they line the bag with a thin piece of cardboard to stabilize the box. I'm not a big sweets person, but I enjoyed the chocolate-y richness of the cake. The cake itself was moist and the pudding held everything together well. I would be back to try their Strawberry Shortcake and other desserts.

It is so clear that they use incredibly high-quality ingredients and carefully curate each component, which is exactly why everything comes together in such an elevated way. The tomatoes reminded me of the ones I grew in my garden during California summers as a teenager. Perfectly salted, layered over soft, not-too-tart feta. The focaccia was made with beautiful olive oil and, while a bit chewier than I usually prefer, gave the sandwich a satisfying bite. I had to close my eyes while eating it just to savor it. The chocolate cherry almond croissant... wow. Such a creative combination, and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, and filled with a sour cherry compote that reminded me of a cherry cordial from a box of chocolates. 5/5. Hainsley, who helped me, was exceptionally lovely. Everyone even in line was very nice, the vibes were awesome. I'll definitely be back to try the spicy tofu sandwich and the heirloom tomato tart!

Whenever I have the opportunity, I make it a point to visit this place consistently. My usual order consists of honey lemon and a hotdog sandwich, which never fails to satisfy me. The service remains impeccable, just as it always has been. Additionally, they offer a limited seating area at the front and sell various snacks on the side. The interior exudes a cozy ambiance that adds to the overall experience. read more

The reason being is that they bag it while it's still hot. Every baker knows this is highly unacceptable. You are supposed to let the baked item cool off completely before you place it in a container or a bag. I shouldn't have to tell them this but I had to do this twice. Not once but twice. They gave me soggy egg tarts twice and I almost forgot the one time they gave me soggy, wet bread. Very disappointed. Waste of money. Update: I went back the following day to let them know what happened and the clerks yelled and made fun of me stating that I was supposed to eat them hot and if I wanted it cold, buy it hot and just put it in the fridge. There's a difference between hot and soggy. The clerks know nothing about customer service.

They have a good variety of buns and dim sum, plus some homemade specialty items like put jai go and zhong zi.

They also mentioned they can do cake orders with a few hours notice if they're not too busy. I haven't tried their drinks yet since I'm always there for the baked goods.

Mushroom and chicken boxed rice - lots of chicken bone shards and too little pieces of Chinese sausage slices. Mixed rice noodle with fish ball - the fish ball option was something I requested for over the phone when they notified me one item that I ordered ran out. The fish ball was really tiny and on the harder side. Really not good quality fish balls. The rice noodle was not silky and smooth. The sauce was the worst part. Not enough sauce and too watered down. The flavors that's usually in the sauce were very subtle. Pork floss cheese loaf bread - the slices of bread were thick and fluffy so I was impressed.

Each of us purchased at least $30 worth of bread and pastries, and I also spent about $20 on desserts and drinks. Our total purchase was well over $100. After sitting in the bakery for about ten minutes, one of my friends still had half of her pastry left. Unfortunately, we had already thrown away our utensils. She politely asked an employee for a plastic fork so she could finish the pastry on the way home. The employee responded in a very unfriendly manner and said that forks are not provided for takeout orders. We explained that the pastry had originally been eaten in the bakery and was simply unfinished, and that we had all purchased a large amount of food to take home. Nevertheless, she refused to provide even a single fork. What disappointed us most was not the fork itself, but the attitude. After spending more than $100, it was surprising to be denied a simple plastic fork and treated with such inflexibility and lack of courtesy. We have always enjoyed Wheatfield Bakery's products, but customer service is just as important as good food. I hope management will take this feedback seriously and remind staff that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in a customer's experience. A plastic fork costs only a few cents, but good customer service is priceless. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling unappreciated as customers. We hope Wheatfield Bakery will review its customer service standards so that future customers are treated with greater courtesy, respect, and common sense.
