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.

We finally stopped by the bakery in Duarte to sample their signature beverage and pan dulce. Their…read morecafe de olla, was served hot, a nice blend of cinnamon and sweetness. We bought an elote, tortuga and can't recall the third piece of pan, and alfajores. The elote was delicious, I love that you can see little specs of cinnamon, soft and tender and vanilla scent. The tortuga was a bit more spongy, fragrant, and nice balanced of sweetness. The alfajores were buttery, crisp and smeared with dulce de leche. I needed a bday cake and decided to order the strawberry shortcake, because it looked so pretty. The cake was a hit with the family. The frosting was super light, the filling is one layer of custard and the other of light whipped cream and berries. The sponge is moist, the cake is not sweet, but decadent in its creamy texture. The inside of the store is aesthetically appealing, traditional glass cases showcase the pan. I'm so glad to have a nearby bakery and cake shop!

Cafe De Olla Bakery is conveniently located next to Club Pilates, my workout spot. While I am very…read morehappy about this (I love Cafe de Olla in Monrovia), getting coffee and a pastry post-workout might very well become my routine if I don't exercise enough self-control! Like some of the reviews already mentioned, this location is more of a "grab and go" type of place. They have a solid selection of cakes, pastries, and drinks. If you are looking for their full breakfast menu, the Monrovia location down the street is where you would want to go! When I visited, they were celebrating their 1-year anniversary with an outside table of samplers. They had a balloon arch outside to signal to the community that they are celebrating something special as well. The lady out front shared with me what they had to offer, and she also mentioned that they do catering! I like my coffee strong but also on the sweet side. When I asked for the stronger option, I was recommended to get the cappucino rather than the latte and they can make the caffeine a little bit more concentrated without sacrificing the flavor. The cookies were a little dry for my taste but maybe it was because the samplers were sitting outside for a little too long. I would go back just to try the breakfast sandwich, but the experience of grabbing food was pretty fast and the food was flavorful enough! Excited to have a closer Cafe de Olla to me and wishing them so much success!

There's street and garage parking for customers. Plenty of tables at this location inside and outside. The location could so use maintenance as some unoccupied tables were still dirty. Staff and service were fine. The pastry selection had unique options I did not see at the San Gabriel one. We got a Chai and Matcha Latte and a Dubai Chocolate mochi donut & Salted Caramel Pretzel Supreme Croissant. The drinks were solid and pretty standard. The pastries though were GOOD! The Dubai Mochi one is worth trying. That Salted Caramel Pretzel Supreme Croissant was insanely good! I loved the textures and crispiness from the first bites. It's also cream filled with custard. Overall, a solid visit at the West Covina location. The Paris Baguette app is worth downloading for good rewards & deals. ( ^_^)b

Ample parking which is a plus…read more However the negative review pertains to the ineffective management and poor customer service. It's better to come in during the morning because by afternoon, there is a good chance you will see a fly in the glass casing touching all the pastries. Yikes! It's happened on multiple instances. Also, employees do not use gloves when handling pastries whether that be from putting your pastries in bags at checkout, warming it up for you, or bagging individual pastries to be put on shelves. No gloves used. Now for the poor customer service and management.. I believe the unprofessional customer service stems from untrained management as employees are often frazzled and seem clueless on effective time management. If there's more than 2 customers in line, employees suddenly don't know what to do. They go from taking an order to ignoring the next customer in line to go make drinks for 5 minutes then come back. Then while waiting for drinks, people who ordered drinks after me got theirs first. I want to call out two specific employees (1 male with ear piercings and 1 female) on Sunday morning 04/26/26. There was no one else behind me as I ordered 2 drinks one being a frappe. They were conversing the whole time which I don't mind but it hindered and slowed down the timing in making my drinks. While the girl was making my frappe and pouring it in the cup, she STOPPED AND PAUSED TO CONTINUE HER CONVERSATION. while we were standing there just waiting. It's just extremely unprofessional. Also might be a management issue to have poorly trained team members as employees don't seem to stay for long.

While the space was clean and organized, the service was meh. It's a self-serve bakery where you get a tray and put on it whatever you want and the cashier rings you up.

This review is solely based on my customer service experience on 5/28/2026 at approximately 8:42 AM…read morewith a clerk identified on the receipt as Morgan K. I want to first clarify that the baked goods themselves, especially the egg tarts, are consistently excellent. This review is not about the quality of the food, but specifically about the customer service experience during this visit. I am a regular customer at Sunmerry Bakery in Temple City and have supported this location consistently over time. The majority of my purchases are specifically for the egg tarts, which I frequently purchase not only for myself, but also for teams and individuals within the Veteran and military family community that I work alongside and support. While I am not a Veteran myself, a significant part of my professional and volunteer work involves supporting Veterans, military families, and community organizations throughout the area. As someone who lives in the local community, I make a conscious effort to support neighborhood businesses whenever possible. Sunmerry Bakery has been one of those businesses that I have chosen to support repeatedly because of the quality of its products and my desire to see local businesses succeed. I have frequently recommended Sunmerry Bakery to Veterans, military families, coworkers, and community members seeking quality egg tarts in the area. Having shared their products at meetings, community gatherings, and events throughout the region, the feedback has consistently been positive, which is why I have continued supporting and recommending this business. Because of how often I visit, support, and recommend this bakery to others, this interaction stood out even more and left me genuinely surprised and disappointed. At the time of my visit, there was only one customer ahead of me. I selected 2 ube conchas and 1 chocolate concha before approaching the counter. While assisting me, Morgan was engaged in a friendly conversation with another customer regarding county wages. She greeted me and asked if there was anything else I needed while ringing up my order. I then requested an additional 4 Portuguese egg tarts and 4 Napoleon egg tarts. I also mentioned that I was picking up a future order under the name Peter. I politely asked whether the future order had been separated into two boxes, since the pastries were intended for two separate teams that support and serve the Veteran community. I further explained that the order consisted of two separate sets of mixed egg tarts so they could easily be distributed to two different teams. Morgan responded by stating, "No, but I can give you extra boxes so you can separate them yourself." At the time, there were no other customers waiting in the store. It was only myself, Morgan, another employee, and someone in the back. I tried to explain the reason for the request, hoping there might be some understanding or accommodation given the simple nature of the situation. However, the response remained the same and came across as dismissive rather than helpful. The interaction left me confused and disappointed. Customer service does not always require grand gestures; sometimes it is simply about professionalism, tone, and making customers feel respected. Unfortunately, this interaction left a negative impression despite how much I normally enjoy supporting this bakery. Afterward, I returned to politely ask for her name. Her demeanor immediately became defensive, and she responded by asking why I needed it and stated that she did not have to provide it. According to the receipt, the clerk was identified as Morgan K. What stood out most was not necessarily the refusal itself, but the overall tone of the interaction and the apparent frustration throughout what I believed was a straightforward customer request. This is also the second uncomfortable experience I have had involving similar behavior, which is why I felt it was important to provide honest feedback. I am not writing this review to seek compensation or special treatment. I am providing this feedback because I genuinely enjoy Sunmerry Bakery's products and would like to continue supporting the business. My hope is simply that management is aware of this experience and can address it appropriately. Again, the bakery products themselves are excellent, and this review should not reflect negatively on the quality of the food. I continue to believe Sunmerry Bakery has great products and the potential to provide excellent customer experiences. I simply hope management reviews the importance of professionalism, courtesy, and respectful communication so future customers, especially returning customers who actively support the business and the local community, do not leave feeling unwelcome or uncomfortable.

My favorite is their sea salt coffee (iced for the hot days, hot for the chilly days) they are both good in any way. Perfect sweetness and tasty aroma of their coffee. Have to say it's different from the ground coffee I purchased before. When you make it at home it tastes different. So, the best bet is to go there to enjoy it or pick it up togo. If you decide to sit down and enjoy a piece of bakery or cake, it's not bad. Place is clean and ambience is nice with music right on you vibe, keep you mood uplifted. I always order birthday cakes for my family on special occasion and other fresh breads served daily. Prices and tastes tailored to Asian buds not too salty or too sweet, just perfect While you are there, grab some snacks as well, they are crunchy and nutty (don't know the name). My kids love their cookies and coconut cubes. Just stop by and sign up with your apps because you get points so you can redeem it for something you like in the future. And they also have a monthly special like BOGO drinks and bakery , Check it out ~!
