Unique asian flavored cakes with good turnaround time. My new favorite spot for unique cakes!!! And super cute decorating and boxes. LOVE the durian cake!! Best cake ever (for durian fans) and it's also super cute. I've also tried the matcha grape cake, which was really interesting, I thought it was ok but my friends absolutely loved it. There are a bunch of unique and pretty options so definitely check it out a day before or on their website if you're planning on getting something. I recommend ordering the cake you want the day before if you know what you want, but if you go early in the morning they may have some available as well! They are making cakes throughout the day, once I went in to buy one of the cakes that had already been sold out, but they were already making one again in the back and was able to sell that one to me after waiting for a bit. You can definitely get lucky (: read more

My husband and I made a special trip to visit this bakery with high hopes. Most everything was tasty except one thing. I wanted to try the Durian Crepe cake slice. I hope I would have tasted it while we were in the area so I could exchange it for something else. When I opened the clear box it let out a not so pleasant smell. It looked "ok" so I tasted it but it tasted as bad as it smelled. As I looked closer it has some small mold spores at different areas. If you're not from the area try their items before you drive off would be my suggestion to avoid having a similar experience. read more

Little Swan - Bakeries Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Stopped by for some pastries and honestly I was pretty surprised at how good they are. The prices were a bit higher in my opinion than other bakeries, but the quality made it worth it. Mochi bun - I don't remember the exact name but it has walnuts inside and on top of the bun. Inside the bun there's chunks of brown sugar mochi. The subtle fragrance of brown sugar and crisp walnuts really hit the spot. The best thing is that they're not overly sweet either. Sweet potato bun (?)- forgot the name but it's a long roll with purple sweet potato in it. Again, not overly sweet and very enjoyable. Their breads are very soft and fluffy. Service is fast but the girl behind the counter spoke a bit too fast. If you need a bag they charge 15 cents for paper bags, so bring your own. read more

Thank you, Little Swan, for baking us another delicious cake to celebrate our Mother's Day! Ever since Little Swan opened in Rowland Heights, our family and friends have been ordering cakes from this bakery for all of our events and celebrations. I love their bread but their cakes are even way above that - it is SO good! I think they have cuter designs and more cake selection at their original Alhambra location, but the quality of the cake is the same. The cashiers are very nice and provide good service, and the bakery is very clean. Little Swan in R.H. Is a 11/10! read more

Pricey prepared bread items, cake slices are around 8-10$. Pleasant atmosphere upon walking in, and quite a few workers when I showed up Saturday around 1pm. Their brulêe egg tart tastes and looks like a Portuguese egg tart. Wife cake was reasonably priced. They seem to sell through a higher volume of wife cakes, egg tarts, and whole cakes. First had little chicken cookies in San Francisco. They're addicting. Glad I found them here. read more

We preordered a birthday cake for my mom's birthday, and the cake menu was so confusing. They only had pictures of their cake designs, and there were no actual descriptions of the cake flavors and ingredients. We had to flag down an employee for help. In the end, we decided on the chestnut cake and received a cake order slip that is used for proof of purchase and pickup. Their cakes are beautiful but pricey. We also purchased a box of their wife cakes. Their wife cakes are $1 each! There is a light discount if you purchase a dozen. It's hard to beat that price in today's economy. read more

Today I needed to order a cake to celebrate gender reveal for my family. The cashier spoke with me patiently and clarified the details with me very well. She was very understanding to take the time to get my order right. I am very impressed with how the cake came out. The even free extra small gift with the cake! How adorable! Thank you! :) For people who didn't know how many possibilities this order could go wrong, let me explain. It was a long process to explain how I wanted the color outside the cake had to be neutral (not anywhere near blue or pink) while making sure that the cream inside is pink with strawberry flavor. I know it's an extra step for the staff to make sure that the baker doesn't mess up the color if the cream inside of the cake to be green or wrong color, which will confuse my family about what's the gender of the baby. Overall, the cake looks fabulous outside with gender neutral color, and the interior color is perfectly pink shade. And the layers of the cake stay in place when cutting. The baker didn't a great job! I will order future cakes from this shop again! read more

Little Swan is located in a large plaza. I visited this store on a Wednesday at around 6:00 PM to grab a few cake slices. Since it was near closing, there were some limited options left. I was able to grab (1) strawberry cake, (1) taro cake, and (1) matcha green grape cake. I asked the staff for a recommendation for something that wasn't too sweet, and they recommended the matcha slice. Overall, all the slices were layered very well. The strawberry had fresh strawberries on there and a jam near the bottom. The matcha one had a lot of grapes throughout but I would have preferred it if it didn't have it. This would be my ideal ranking of the cakes. 1) Taro 2) Strawberry 3) Matcha Green Grape Hope to grab the lychee cake in the next visit! American Express is accepted as payment here. read more

Little Swan - Strawberry, Taro, Matcha - Bakeries Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

If you're looking for an aesthetic Asian cake to bring to someone's birthday, this place got it. They box them in clear boxes and tie a big pretty ribbon bow on it just like a luxury purse box. We got a Matcha Cake. Cake texture is very fluffy, moist, slightly bouncy and of course not too sweet. Cream all around and within was light and airy. What was a bit odd was they filled the cake layers with green grape, it was refreshing but most of our guests thought it didn't pair well. Matcha might have paired better with strawberry layers.. read more

Beautiful custom cakes for any occasion! Super easy to order, great flavor options, and delicious. The staff are very friendly. Pre-ordered cakes.m, I believe either 6" or 8" come in a beautiful clear gift box. I think they may have it for their larger cakes too, but when I peeked in the fridge during my cake pickup, only saw normal boxes for the large cakes- definitely worth asking!! I ordered a 6" celebratory cake for my husband (added the candle myself) I believe R#19 design with taro filling- the taro is just sweet enough/not too sweet. Only thing is I may request less whipped cream next time, but that's just a personal preference since I don't really like cream. Cream was fresh and not too sweet as well, normal amount for the cake so please don't take this as a negative review. 漂亮又好吃！ They deserve more hype!!!! (Pastries and breads are delicious here too). Can't wait to try the durian cake next time read more

Little Swan - Cake, gift box (opened but beautifully wrapped) - Bakeries Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I find that many Chinese bakeries typically offer the same breads - Pork Sung, Hot Dog Buns, Raisin Coconut Rolls, Green Onion Pork Sung Rolls, BBQ Pork Buns, etc. However, Little Swan offers more unique flavors that I do not see others have. They have the usual suspects as mentioned above, but there were so many breads that piqued my interest: Squid Ink Tuna/Chicken, Salted Egg Yolk bread varieties, and several more. I ended up buying a ton of different varieties just because it sounded good. They were all really good! Most of their breads are priced very reasonable and cheap. However, they specialty items such as Mini Pork Sung Cake ($9.99) and full size cakes are very pricey. While I really liked the Mini Pork Sung Cake, for the price, you get three tiny pieces and it just isn't worth the price. Honestly, they could fit a fourth piece in the box and it actually looks like it's missing a piece because they put three in a box. I wasn't a huge fan of their wife cake, it doesn't have that authentic taste and texture that I'm looking for. Service was helpful and overall friendly. I will definitely come back for their breads when I'm in the area! read more

Tried the durian crepe cake ($8), and it was AMAZING!! It was almost like eating a straight up durian. Even my mom, who usually doesn't like sweets, loved it. Will definitely be getting this again for my family. We also tried the durian cheesecake ($6). I personally thought it tasted kind of weird and too creamy, but my parents thought it was really good too. So I think you should just try it and decide for yourself. read more

This was one of my favorite bakeries not too long ago. But I feel that the quality has taken a bit of a nosedive, around the same period when they reduced their points earning system from 1 point per $1 to 1 point per $4. I've gotten a bolo bao that was more like plain milk bread, lacking the characteristic crunchiness of the top butter layer even when put in the oven. I tend to like most of the breads, but their bolo bao falls short for me, as well as the "coffee" bun which is bread wrapped around approximately a thousand calories of walnuts (I guess supposed to be coffee flavored, but they weren't-- it was like eating fistfuls of plain lightly sweetened walnuts)... I also had another unpleasant experience when a bread was not properly labeled to note that it contained meat. Taking a closer look at home, I realized I had bought bacon and couldn't eat it. The bread section seems a bit stagnant in selection. I never see new breads even though other bakeries tend to do seasonal specials. I have seen some new cakes, so maybe they're putting more effort into expanding their cake lineup for now. They used to have really affordable and delicious lunch sandwiches like a smoked salmon egg sandwich that always brought me in, but since I noticed they no longer sell them I often don't feel like I want to make the drive anymore. I still like some of the breads, but with the loss of the 1 for 1 point system and lack of new products, Little Swan will be just one in my rotation of Asian bakeries. read more

Decent Chinese bakery! There's a lot of competition for chinese bakeries in the area and they're almost all good. I'd say little swan is pretty standard, bread is good and I wouldn't mind buying from here again, but it also doesn't really stand out. It's spacious and clean, and worth trying if you want something different from the usual spots in the area. read more

Little Swan - Grape cake - Bakeries Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Little Swan serves solid Asian baked goods, but the rose lychee cake is their standout. When searching for a place to get a cake, I found great reviews for this place on Yelp. As an Asian bakery, they have a lot of your typical fare and many of them are solid. However, the reason I decided to give five stars is their rose lychee cake. It not only had a nice hint of rose flavor with lychees that provided that little extra sweetness. The cake itself was moist and the cream was luscious. While the decoration varies, it always comes out pretty stunning. They provide candles and knife and personalize the cake to the occasion. Because it has been such a hit at several gatherings, I have ordered it now several times. Recommend you call about 24-48 hours in advance to make sure they have. The bakery is in a busy plaza so it may be a little difficult depending on the time, but usually easy to find. The service is pretty quick and efficient. Overall, Little Swan is a great bakery especially if you are looking for a cake for that special occasion. read more

Little Swan - Rose Lychee Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Little Swan does have some select goodies that are pretty good! The inside has been consistently clean and well maintained. Staff has been kind and courteous and although some pastries were priced a bit on the higher end, they have a large variety and were all fresh. For larger parties, I would recommend ordering a dozen of their wife cakes which is pretty affordable and not too sweet at all. Although it doesn't taste like a traditional wife cake, it was pretty good, slightly crunchy, chewy, and had water chestnut inside. Their squid ink bread was yummy. It had corn, cream, and chunks of some kind of meat but it was savory, sweet, and soft! I LOVE their pork sung cream roll with a generous amount of pork sung, green onions, and cream inside. read more

Reviewing brulee tarts, pineapple bun, and a birthday cake. Brulee tarts tasted like a Portuguese egg tart which I love but the wavy crust wasn't very crispy/layered. Pineapple bun was textbook. Cake was very good: the fruits were ripe, cream was dense and creamy and wasn't crazy sugary. Vanilla cake was spongy and not dry. No issues with service. read more

Incredible selection of baked goods - there was so much variety and I was happily overwhelmed (I'm talking about durian crepes, pork sung rolls, cheese mochi bread to name a few). I love me a pork sung roll and the rolls they make here are huge and almost close to perfect to the ones I had in Asia! Their mini pork sung cake with salted egg yolk was the perfect savory bite. I also really enjoyed their honey walnut cake - moist and not too sweet. I used to frequent Green Wheat bakery but this might be my new favorite spot. Ambiance was well lit and spacious. Pricing on the regular bread was fairly affordable although their speciality items are understandably more expensive. Can't wait to try more items! read more

Lots of savory bread treats, and had one of their little mousse chocolate cakes - it was heavenly! :)

My kids always have an opinion on a birthday cake. This yr, my younger one wanted a guava cake. Turns out, this is the only place that has a full sized guava cake. If there's any other place, let me know for next year. I ordered over the phone and they were able to find my order via last 4 digits of your phone number. The location is a bit sparse but I got there at 9 am and there's lots of baked goodies available. I grabbed two hot dog breads for my kids' lunch. The cake is guava jasmine cake with sliced grape and candied orange slices ( which were not edible). There's actually whole jasmine flowers inside the gelatine layer of the cake. Underneath that layer is a cream mousse with strong hint of jasmine tea flavor. Followed by a pinkish guava jam and a thin layer of sponge at the very bottom. My partner thought it was one of his fave cakes ever. We both love tea so we appreciated the strong tea flavor. The cake did have a steep price tag. $59 for not a big cake. 8" approximately. Worth a try if the price tag doesn't scare you. They also throw in candles without even asking. I did specify the occasion over the phone. read more

A good place to get birthday cakes, they have various sizes, perfect for any gathering parties that you have. read more

Loved loved loved my experience at Little Swan. It's a nifty little bakery off Colima in the 168 Market plaza, right by the plaza entrance where the workers speak canto and mandarin. I called around 20 min before I needed a last min cake and they were able to help me with a rush order! I got a Lychee cake that had real lychees in and on the cake! An 8in round cake came out to around $50 give or take, but was so good and so pretty, my friends loved it! The cream wasn't too sweet and had a lychee hint to it. The cake itself was moist and light, and the fruits in the cake were super super fresh and flavorful! The bakery itself wasn't super busy when I went to pick up the cake (around 4pm on a Sunday) but I know usually these places are busier in the day/morning times when they have a full stock of fresh baked products. They were pretty much down to a shelf of baked goods and their cakes in the fridges and display cases by the time I got there, which to me shows they sell out of a lot of things. read more

So glad I tried Little Swan as a last minute option to get a birthday cake. I wanted to gift my friend a quality cake, and searched Yelp for bakeries in the Rowland Heights area. The photos of the cakes sold me, so I called Little Swan around 9am and was able to request a 6" Lychee Rose cake for a 2pm pickup the same day. Little Swan is set up like many bakeries--85 degrees style with an assortment of individually bagged breads and some pastries that you can load onto your tray. The cakes are next level. Really unique flavors like durian, lychee rose, taro, and matcha. The way they are decorated as well and loaded with fruit is impressive. I picked up my cake and was surprised at the cutest packaging they had it in! My friend loved it. The cake was extremely fluffy, with a layer of whipped cream. There were whole pieces of lychee in the middle layer and on top. The rose flavor was very faint though. read more

My parents have been raving about this bakery knowing how much I love Asian bakeries. Finally came around 4ish in the afternoon and was still about to get their coconut cream buns. Mom swears that it tastes like the old school DB back in the 80s. Loved the chew Bun texture with the coconut flakes. The cream filling was a bit too much cream for me Got some wife cookies that were warm in the hot case, nice and flaky. The Portuguese egg tarts were cold and a bit of a let down for me. The tiger Swiss roll was okay. Not much flavor or sweet enough. I saw all the things with pineapple like the Chiffon Cake and Swiss roll. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. I wanted to get some cream cakes like their lychee rose, cream puffs, or other slices mango cakes BUUUT...I saw that they had durian in the display case with the other flavors. I absolutely DO NOT like durian and certainly didn't want the aroma to mix with the flavors. I passed on them. Bummer! read more

BEAUTIFUL, affordable cakes, unique pastries, and overall a great bakery to go to! I wanted to find a bakery that I can just go and pick up a pre-made cake (place that wasn't too expensive nor a too widely known franchise), I saw that Little Swan had smaller, yet super pretty cakes, so I decided to stop by. Unfortunately, it's in a large, yet SUPER busy plaza as there's so many businesses, so I had to park farther away and walk there, but they were nice enough to hold my cake at the counter so that I can make several trips back and forth. Although their grand opening was months ago in the summer, they were still giving away some nice freebies. I believe if you spend over $20, you get a pretty jar of their tasty coconut jelly (tastes much more natural than the other chains out there) and I also got a tote bag as well! Many Asian bakeries, at least the ones I've been to in the area, have some actual loaves of breads, but mostly singular pastries, but this bakery has a great mix of both and a wonderful diverse variety as well. For loaves of bread they have Japanese sweet bread, other types of sweet bread, chia wheat toast (never seen this before), a pumpkin bread, and much more. If you don't want an entire cake, they have slices too. I gifted one of their melon cakes and was told it was quite yummy, not too sweet, and beautiful. Presentation is lovely, survived my turbulent driving in the passenger seat, and it even sparkled in the lighting. Very nice and it was only around $45-50 and serves several people (came with utensils as well). For our house, I got the pumpkin bread and the Japanese loaf of bread. Both were not too dry, soft, and slightly moist. Reminded me of a croissant with how the interior looked. The pumpkin had real kabocha pumpkin filling inside as well. Neither were too sweet either. I also got their mochi cheese balls, which came in a small box with a good number of them, slightly sweet, with the chewy mochi texture and the sharper taste of cheese on the inside, made these bites addicting. Definitely will come back to get more of their cakes and to try some of their other baked goods! read more

I randomly came across the lychee cake while browsing on Yelp and I knew I had to try it. It was so delicious and did not disappoint! Like who knew lychee and cake would go so well together?! The cake was soft and the sweetness wasn't overpowering. There was the perfect amount of lychee to cake and frosting. The rosemary added a unique earthy taste (very subtle). Probably one of the best cakes I've ever had! read more

Date of visit for this location: 9/25/2024 (first time at this recently opened Rowland Heights location; (Multimes at the Alhambra location) I used to get their durian mille crepes, wife cake and also Portuguese egg tart at the Alhambra location. Only at this location when I started exploring their bread selection and I'm pretty impressed with what they have to offer. The ones I tried so far and really like are: - cheese mochi mini bread: similar to Brazilian's Pão de queijo. I love this so much! You can't find this in any other Chinese bakeries or any bakeries in So Cal for that matter, so make sure to get it when you're here. It comes in a small box with around 12 of them in it. The only thing they can improve with this particular product is to make the saltiness from the cheese a little more prominent. Other than that, it's perfect! - squid ink corn chicken - french cheese cake with durian - coconut jelly - durian mille crepes - lychee rose whole cake (bday gift from a friend - bbq pork bun - slices sausage bun (the one with bacon pieces topping) They also have unique selection of toasts that I have yet to explore here at this location. At Alhambra location they carry charcoal toast that's yummy. Haven't seen it here at this location.... read more

It's been a bit of a challenge recently to find a good birthday cake spot that offers beautifully designed cakes with more unique flavors. I was so happy to come across this bakery! I called the day of and they had several cakes ready to be picked up. I tried their most popular flavor, which was the rose lychee cake. The cake came in a lovely dome shape and was prepared well, each soft layer of cake cushioned by a generous amount of rose creme and lychee bits. I couldn't resist and on my way out, purchased 2 of their unique snack trays too: the cheese tapioca puffs, and the pork floss mini cakes. Both were delicately made and delicious! read more

Really wanted to try this bakery and order a birthday cake but thankfully we tried slices before buying the whole thing. Out of their options, they were kind of confusing because they told us they could only do certain cake flavors certain inches but showed us a tablet with pictures of different flavors with writing all in Chinese. The flavors (rose lychee, guava & pistachio cheesecake) were really light compared to traditional cakes & the cheesecake base was more like a granola bar instead of graham cracker which threw the texture off. I appreciate the help trying to explain to us the cake order process but for they didn't seem like they entirely cared for our business. The business is clean though, but we'll probably go to the bakery inside 168 market, inside the same plaza instead. read more

Little Swan is a clean, minimalist bakery. Parking's tough on weekends. Ordering a cake with staff was easy: call, select design/flavor from website, pay at pickup. Unfortunately, not all selections are listed online and flavors are in the descriptions. Our 10" cake ($93) looked great and was very nicely packaged! Chiffon was soft, cream stable and not too sweet, but the rose and lychee flavors were super subtle. The only detectable lychee flavor was fresh fruit and rose in the dried rose petals. Breads are soft but not as yummy or affordable as 85C. I'd come back for a special occasion cake, despite the price. read more

The cake I ordered was good overall. However, I was so surprised for the price for 8 inch cake now. It costs $80 dollars now, as I just ordered the similar 8 inch cake for my nephew On Feb 1, it was only $55. And the 6 inch only costs $45. But now all the 8 inch cakes were $80 and 6 inch cakes were $60, which was a little overpriced. read more
