    Bread options
    Mary A.

    I was already in the plaza and decided to stop by. They have a wide variety of breads, both sweet and savory, as well as desserts. I ended up getting the Earl Grey Bread, Black Sesame Bread, and the Creme Brulee. The Earl Grey flavor was pretty light in my opinion, but it was still good. The black sesame and creme brulee were definitely the standouts. The black sesame flavor was strong throughout, which I really liked, and the creme brulee had great texture and flavor. The staff was okay overall, though the woman checking us out was very nice. Pricing is also not bad. Parking was easy in the plaza lot. Definitely a spot I'd come back to if I'm in the area.

    Chocolate cake
    Fernando D.

    I couldn't resist when I saw their cakes. All of it looked so delicious and I was especially craving chocolate. I ordered one slice of their chocolate cakes and enjoyed it. It was not overly sweet and had a good soft texture. It tasted fresh. They had a lot of pastries to choose from, but I only got dessert. Next time, I will try their pastries. Service was quick and efficient. Parking was limited especially on a weekend, but we were able to find parking. There was also a few seats where I enjoyed my slice of cake at. It is a cute small bakery and they also take card.

    Mango Mochi
    Chris Y.

    JJ Bakery is always such a treat! Have been coming here for years an and have a few absolute favorites here: the custard, the walnut bread, and especially the mango mochi. The mango mochi is really amazing... huge, soft, fresh, and perfectly sweet. One of the best I've ever had. Parking is usually super easy too. Most of the time, I can park right in front of the bakery, depending on the time of day. Huge convenience! Prices are great, the quality is consistent, and everything tastes fresh. Definitely one of my go-to bakeries. Highly recommend!

    Sesame Bun and Almond Puff Pastry
    Caes F.

    JJ Bakery is a local Arcadia bakery, specializing in Asian bread, buns, lunar new year mooncakes, egg tarts and pies. Today, I went there to see if I could get a puff pastry filled with sugar custard. They ran out. No hot dog bun either. The chicken pies are sold in the morning and go fast. They also sell Chinese food, buns, beef stew, and rice burritos. Think convenient store meets bakery. Their cakes are not too sweet and pretty darn tasty.

    I am always on the look out for a new bakery to try. I have passed by JJ Bakery in Arcadia many times. Finally; I decided to stop by. The parking lot is spacious, but shared with other businesses. The place was cleanThe service was fast and the staff was nice. By the time we went there which was approaching their closing time, they had run out of a few items. There were still plenty of options to choose from. I was pleased with the selection of items I chose. Next visit, I will try to stop by earlier to try even more pastries.

    Double sesame pastry. Soooo yummy!
    Wendy G.

    This holiday season, some ladies will be excited to say "He went to Jared!" but I'm just as stoked to report that "He went to JJs!" The black + white sesame pastry is so darn good, and there's nothing like it that I've found in SD. Not too sweet, flaky and bursting with big sesame flavor. So thank you to my special someone for thinking of me during your LA trip and making my Christmas pastry dream come true!

    Nice place. Cute cakes..so pretty. I would come here again if I am in the area. It has good drinks and lovely delicious cakes. I think this place overall has yummy goodies. Service is fine but I had a communication issue. Not sure if my English translates to their understanding.

    Black forest cake
    Selene S.

    Bought their 8" Black Forest Cake for $32 for someone's birthday. It tasted great, not too sweet BUT the layers of chocolate sponge cake were just too thin! This is honestly like 70% cream than cake at this point (see my picture). We didn't buy this just to eat cream. And the layers of cake weren't even- the middle layer only went halfway. We're definitely not coming back to get this cake again. Not worth your money.

    Peach and Strawberry Mochi
    Ves S.

    Came just for the Taro Pudding cake. Smelled really good in the secure box! We phoned ahead and picked up. Also got some danishes while here.

    Fan tuan rice with pork sung, crueller, and pickled radish. So good and crunchy !

    Do I need to refrigerate the cup cake if I can't eat in few days?

    Hello Sharon, indeed, it is recommended to store the Hokkaido Cupcake in the refrigerator.

    Do you guys sell 花生奶油麵包?

    Why don't they sell Portugal egg tarts?

    Stopped by Merengue Bakery & Cafe in old town Monrovia to pick up some pastries for tonight's wine…read morepairing dinner at home. Super excited because the mini fruit tarts are going to look amazing on my newly purchased dessert tray! I was feeling a bit sleepy so I decided to fuel up & eat breakfast while I was there. I ordered a Vanilla Latte & a side order of 3 eggs + Sausage Links. If you're a big eater and want the additional potatoes and pancakes, I recommend paying a few dollars more and ordering the Breakfast platter. The Vanilla Latte came in a paper cup (a bit bummed out by not being able to take a more IG worthy picture of that), but it actually tasted really good! Same with the sausage links - it was probably one of the best tasting ones I've had for breakfast in a while. Aside from their wide selection of pastries and food options, their customer service was phenomenal. Every customer that walked through the door was greeted upon arrival and thanked on their way out. The restaurant was very clean and the cakes looked so beautiful behind the glass case. I had a pleasant experience today at Merengue Bakery & Cafe and can't wait to come back soon to try a slice of their chocolate cake!

Street parking can be tough during peak hours, but there are public lots nearby.  For the past 12 years, this has been our go-to spot, and their Guava Cake is the ultimate family favorite! This past Mother's Day, Mom wanted that exact cake. We stopped by in the morning to pick one up as usual. However, the lady at the counter informed us they would not have any ready until 2 PM and was quite dismissive and short with us. I was next in line, it was now the second person at the counter helping me, ( male ) once he knew I was looking for a guava cake, he immediately went to the back going out of his way to check and ensure we took a fresh guava cake home right then and there. He saved Mother's Day !!! I must also mention Danny and Lissette are amazing every time we order cakes for family events. It's always a great experience, and we'll definitely keep coming back for their goodies.

It's fun here cuz you can get a little shopping cart and collect your breads. Kinda went crazy and got a bunch to try. The breads looked like they would be dry but weren't and were all really soft, pillowy, and fluffy. The Black Forest bread was topped with toasted almonds, had jiggly thick sweet custard, and a layer of semi sweet chocolate. The hades bread was the only kinda dry bread and was filled with bittersweet chocolate and had a thin sweet Oreo crust on the bottom like a cheesecake would. The pork floss bread had a swirl of sweet savory pork floss and was topped with nutty crunchy sesame seeds. The banana cream bread was filled with like this cheesecake tasting light cream and had some real bananas inside too. The garlic bread was really good, soft, and had a streak of yummy, savory, garlicy, cheesy goodness. They even had a cilantro pork floss cake?! Wasn't getting any cilantro flaves but the cake was nicely spongy, light, vanillay, and had a swirl of pork floss that actually worked with it. Their black sesame cake was also very spongy, jiggly, light, and airy with good black sesame flaves. They even let you try some free samples of bread which my grandma really enjoyed. Overall this place is pretty good. Black Forest $4.50 Hades $6 Pork floss $5 Banana cream $4.50 Garlic bread $4.50 Cilantro pork floss sponge $5 Black sesame sponge $3.75

The pastry case was delightful n organized. I took photos of the ones I bought. Apparently, the lady at the counter has very limited English skills, friendly enough but could really use some upgrade in her customer service skills. I value customer service a great deal--that's how I become a regular patron. Thankfully there are other Duke Bakery locations to visit if the pastries happen to strike my fancy. There are about 3 sets of seating (tables with chairs & cushioned booth type to enjoy your treats. No outdoor seating available. Parking is shared among other businesses, so it can get hairy at peak times In this shop, there 3 different vendors, not just Duke's, there's a noodle shop to the right (if facing the counter) a smoothie shop in the middle & Duke's on the left. The pastry shelves encompass the majority of the space. The jury is still out re: pastry taste, bought some for friends.

Instead, the vest the dog was wearing stated "Best Friend" almost like the owner was trying to trick others into thinking it was a "Service Dog" vest. The dog was walking around the bread and even sniffing the bread. The owner saw and even tried to swat her dog away from some Strawberry Halfmoons that the dog was sniffing. As someone who is allergic to dogs, what if they are the person who touches that bread next? What if the allergy is very severe? I walked around the premises to check if there were signs on the windows/doors talking about no pets, only service dogs. Only one entrance had the signs stating this. The other doors did not. As someone who is allergic to dogs, I do not understand how someone can just bring their pet into an establishment that serves food. The dog even went up to some customers and was sniffing their shoes. I even watched the dog go up to a little girl and try to take her doll. **4/1/26 UPDATE** To Katherine (the business owner): Yes, I know you allow SERVICE DOGS. However, this lady's dog was not wearing a vest stating it was a service dog. Also, I think service dogs know better than to try stealing little girls' dolls. That lady's dog was NOT a service dog. She was trying to TRICK people into thinking it was with the FAKE vest it was wearing. Please put more signs up around the different entrance doors.

The blueberry jam was flavorless and the strawberries were raw, blueberries had a couple that were moldy or not cleaned, and strawberries were sour given that it was strawberry season. It seems like the ingredients weren't sourced very well. There was way too much cream.
