They have several flavors, but my favorite is the coffee roll. It pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee. I like having it for breakfast or dessert. I don't usually buy their pastries or bread because I think they're overpriced compared to other similar bakeries. Recently, I tried their Napoleon and it was delicious. It was crispy on the outside with a soft layer in the middle. I also tried their ube crinkle cookie for the first time. While it was good, the texture wasn't really like a cookie; it was more cake-like, similar to a madeleine. I wouldn't get it again.

I was picking up dinner from Hong Kong Cafe located at Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park. As I…read morewas walking back to my car, I noticed Sunmerry Bakery. It was near their closing time, but thought I go in to see what they have. Chairs were already put up. Very limited baked pastries left for grabs. I was lucky to get a few of them along with $1.00 egg tarts. Yes, you read right... $1.00 egg tarts. They were decect size and quite tasty. Worth the very quick visit! Staff was nice. Interior is spacious. Prices were reasonable. Free parking is available at the square. I'm coming back for more $1.00 egg tarts and whatever else I didn't find that night. Thanks Sunmerry! Note: Happy Lemon used to be in the same space as Sunmerry Bakery, but they are no longer here. However, Sunmerry Bakery still makes some of the Happy Lemon inspired drinks.

We came for the BOGO deal for their oolong tea series and were disappointed they ran out of the osmanthus ones. We got the oolong milk tea with light sugar. They said no ice adjustments.

We tried their taro egg tarts, Portuguese style egg tarts, cookies, and earl grey Swiss roll cake…read more Sadly, I don't remember the name of the cookies but it was delicious: like a cross between an almond cookie in flavor but fortune cookie in texture; very light and crispy. The egg tarts were laminated expertly which made for a flakey, delicate crumb. I liked that the taro version has a smooth mousse on top, and bits of taro in the egg custard underneath. Portuguese egg tarts were delightful, probably some of the best in the area. Earl grey Swiss roll cake was masterfully done: right amount of tea flavor with perfect cream to cake ratio. I liked that that their selection isn't overwhelming, just a few great staples with examples of their custom cake decorations throughout the store. Ordering can be done in English, Cantonese, or Mandarin. Parking is very easy: there's a lot (18 N Stoneman Ave) behind the entrance on Main Street, shared with Ross and Dollar Tree.

I highly recommend their Pineapple BBQ Pork Bun ($3.75), BBQ Pork Pie ($3.25), Curry Beef Pie ($3.25), and Hot Dog Bun ($2.40). Their egg tarts are also a winner, but I don't always get it because I prefer savory items. This place accepts cards and parking is plenty!

Oooh yes, had to stop by for a Portuguese Tart! It was tasty, though the caramelized top was on the…read morebrittle candy side. The breading was tasty, and the custard was just the right amount of sweetness. There are also a variety of other baked goods that I can't wait to return and try. One thing to note though is that it's cash only up until ~ $!0 charge, then which a credit card may be used for payment. If you're visiting, make sure to be careful also of the side by the door... there's an awkward step that's super easy to trip over, especially since there isn't much standing room inside.

To preface, I'm obsessed with anything durian and their durian mochi was to die for. The durian filling was so good and just the right amount for the mochi. I also tried their regular/cheesecake and pistachio cheesecake and they were so good! The man who helped us was so kind and patient. The store was small but clean and organized. If you need cakes for different occasions especially birthday cakes, this spot has toppers and candles available. Highly recommend this place and would definitely be back for more!

It's light, not too sweet Percy texture and so delicious. They have the original , matcha , strawberry and Oreo flavors. You can either one flavor or a set of all 4. The taro snowflakes is a must try, creamy taro sponge cake made with real taro. This shop is clean, cutesy and is family owned and I was helped by the owner's mom, she's super nice lady, the owner makes all the cakes. They take cash, Venmo and Zelle as payment options.

I called ahead and the cake was ready to go when I got there. My grandma was so so happy with the quality of the cake. It was $28 for a full sheet which comes out to 16 pieces. As many have mentioned, this isn't a cake you keep overnight. It's a cake you get the day you're going to eat it because the crispy sheets in the cake will go stale overnight! The cake itself was so well balanced, the sheet cakes were both dense but fluffy and there was the perfect ratio of sheet cake to crispy sheets. Definitely not too sweet! I love eating them by taking them apart and eating the halves like an open face sandwich hahah The location itself isn't the most fancy, it's a bit dated but their Chinese crispy cake more than makes up for it all. I'm so glad that there is still a bakery that makes it so well! Would I come back or recommend this place? Absolutely yes. I would like to try some of their other cakes as well!

My mom loves it too and she's very picky. The cake itself has great texture and flavor, with those crispy flakes that make it really unique and satisfying. One small thing to note though -- the crispy flakes can be surprisingly sharp, even if you feel like you've chewed them well. Just something to be a little careful with while eating. Overall, still a really tasty dessert that we enjoy getting again and again. P.S. inside is pretty empty and run down, and can be a bit of wait even with just one person ahead..not sure why.

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.

I always passed by on the way to the maid cafe, so I had a vague inkling that there was a location here, but my lack of object permanence kept pigeon holing it in my mind until I finally went to visit with friends. Plenty of seating and the ladies working were all super nice and polite. Make sure to grab a stamp card too! Ambiance is very chill and gives a slight mom and pop shop vibe despite being a franchise, probably due to the fact that they've been in this location since forever. Our visit was for the Arknights Endfield collaboration and the special 4 cream puff set came with a sticker sheet, keychain, and game code post card with the promotional art. The keychain is at random and is one of the 4 featured characters and the sticker sheet has all 4 of them. Due to how full we already were and the plan to get more desserts and drinks later, our group only ate 2 of the cream puffs that came with the set. We tried the Perlica (blue cotton candy shell with vanilla custard) and the Tangtang (Oreo crumble shell with cream filling). Both were very sweet and rich and definitely filled to the brim with custard/cream inside. Definitely have napkins ready and do NOT smush or harshly poke the cream puffs unless you want a mess. It's also easier to take bites of the cream puff than any other attempt to share them. Outside pastry part had a nice crispy shell to it that held everything together nicely and the filling was sweet and smooth. Icing on top was generous too, adding another layer of sugary sweetness. Not bad as a treat here and there and I'm glad they're doing these collabs!
