We purchased a $44 taro cake to celebrate my mom's birthday. When we removed the fruit to cut the cake, we noticed that several pieces of fruit were already moldy, and the top layer of cream was also contaminated. We called the store immediately. The staff member who answered the phone asked us to bring the whole cake back for an exchange. I explained that we had already cut the cake and eaten a few pieces, and she specifically said that was fine, even if we only had photos, or no photos at all, and that she would still honor a replacement cake. Based on that conversation, we decided to bring only the fruit back to show them. When we arrived at the store, another staff member told us that since we did not bring the entire cake and that only the fruit was bad, she could exchange the fruit only, not the cake. She also stated that the staff member who answered the phone was new and had not explained things clearly. Although we were eventually given a replacement cake, the experience was very unpleasant. There was no acknowledgment of fault, no apology, and our question about when the cake was made was not answered. The replacement was given reluctantly. We have been loyal customers of this bakery for many years and have always had wonderful experiences celebrating special occasions with their cakes. It is truly disappointing to see the decline in both cake quality and customer service. read more

Complete hidden gem here in DB! We got the taro bun, perfectly soft baked and filled with fresh taro and chewy mochi. We also got the beef sando which was a nice savory item. Very kind staff and underrated bakery! read more

We got on the waitlist for Torotea at the Montefino Shopping Center in Diamond Bar. Ni Ni Bakery is right next door to Torotea. While waiting to be notified, my eldest daughter and I walked into this bakery to check out their goodies. It was towards early evening so selection of pastries and all were quite limited. The pastries along the wall didn't catch my eyes as much as the slices of cakes that were in the refrigeration at the front counter area. We ended up getting one slice of chiffon vanilla cake and one slice of tiger vanilla cake. I enjoyed the chiffon vanilla cake more than the tiger vanilla cake. The former was moist and light where the latter was thick and dense in texture. Both were still great slices. I probably won't get the tiger vanilla cake again though. I wouldn't mind getting the chiffon vanilla cake again. Lady staff was pleasant. Service was good. Inside atmosphere was okay... lots of pretty red decor. Parking can be challenging. It's a little snugged so do be careful backing in and out of the parking space. Btw, they don't just sell pastries and cakes. They have a full wall of drink offerings. We didn't get any drinks that day since we were going for Torotea. Perhaps next time, we'll give their drinks a try. Great to have a bakery next to Torotea. Thanks Ni Ni! read more

I just so happened to try a cake at an event a year ago and found out it came from this bakery. The cake was a simple sponge cake but so delicious that I needed to come give these folks some business. I was glad to come here to find a beautiful selection of baked snacks and ready-made cakes, with the option for custom orders as well. They also make fresh drinks too. I selected a few baked items to take home, but the highlight of my visit was the Taro Mochi Bun. OMG, whatever you do next in your lifetime, make a plan to try this. My life was going in a downward spiral, but this saved me. Just kidding, but yes, these are too good to not pass up. I don't needed to describe tasting this, but if you say Taro Mochi Bun out loud, it's basically calling out the holy trinity of yum. I spoke to the lady behind the counter and the cakes are decently priced. Around the $40 range for a standard, and a little more with fresh fruit added. Either way, a nice spot. My only gripe is that the parking lot is a hot mess, because it's limited and tiny. Also the other drivers who go to this strip mall, I assume, are legally blind. read more

TLDR: grab and go Chinese bakery, avoid if you care THAT much about service When I go to a Chinese bakery, I'm going solely for the bread, especially if there's no seating and it's grab-and-go. So if the bread is good, the lady can cuss me out and I won't care as long as I get my goods. That said, the owner of Ni Ni will not cuss you out (don't worry), but she primarily speaks Mandarin, so do give her a bit of grace. The taro mochi buns and coffee chocolate buns are my favorite. Not very sweet but still quite decadent from the amount of filling. Parking is a bit difficult but it's better after Torotea lost some of its hype. read more

We had come to Diamond Bar to re-live our fond lunch memories at a little Chinese cafe we frequented some 20 years ago. After a lunch that was as good as we had remembered, my sweet tooth was set in motion...maybe some custard tarts, sesame balls, steamed rice cake, or something equally yummy, I surmised? Our sweet server gave us a tip that there was a Chinese bakery nearby, and pointed out the door. No name of the business, just a directional point of her finger was all we got, so we were rather clueless. But that has never stopped me from having a tasty adventure. And by golly, I found it in spite of nearly causing a few car accidents. So, Ni Ni Bakery is a tiny hole in the wall business, plainly marked, dark outside, and squeezed in-between some other, very unremarkable businesses in an old strip mall. Blink and you missed it. But I was delighted once I entered. It brought back memories of something I would have bumped into in San Francisco's Chinatown decades ago. To my right, a small case of prettily decorated cakes, to my left, a wide variety of breads, pastries, and cakes individually wrapped. Some were tucked into cubby holes with clear plexiglass doors, others stacked on open, divided shelves. Each section had a label handwritten in Chinese and English and the price. It felt much more "Chinese-y" than the more well known 85°C bakeries. My gut told me I had found a gem. Most of the items were completely unfamiliar to me, so I selected only three "sweet" ones that were either moon cakes or something equally flaky and delicate. One had a traditional yellow bean filling (this I found to be rather dry), another was labeled lotus filling but actually had a dark, fruity paste surrounding a bright yellow egg yolk in the center. The third was a ping pong ball sized pastry with no filling, swirled and speckled. I am clueless what it was, but it was pretty and my taste buds said there were tea leaves in the pastry. I loved that they were exotic and barely sweet. My final choice was one of several pastries sitting the counter, labeled as "yesterday's" quick sale. I chose a flakey cake with a savory pork and radish filling, sprinkled with sesame seeds on top. They were quite a surprise. I found myself loving my choices, with the exception of the yellow bean mooncake which Mr B, on the other hand, thought was very nice. It's not often I am in the area, but I look forward to trying more things when I am. No pics! Shame on me. read more

Amazing tasing buns here at ni ni bakery. Their peanut butter bun is one of my favorite buns. Its got a nice creamy texture with minced peanuts on top of a baked pineapple bun. Their red bean bun is a favorite of my daughter and our family. Can't go wrong with the red bean bun staple. Got their meat floss bun but have not tried it yet, but i am sure its delicious because of the combination of meat floss and buttery goodness bun. The coconut and raisin bun is also a super delicious with a nice balance of coconut and raisin. Also a staple for those who love coconut buns. Highly recommend you stop by here for their buns. They also have drinks on deck and coffee. I have yet to try their drinks but will try it one of these days. read more

NINI BAKERY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Thank you so much for saving me from my hunger as I was waiting like a fool next door for Torotea. Your green onion bread and curry cake is amazing and kept me well fed but your turnip cake was the shining star!! The first bite of your turnip cake was first love and i had to come back immediately to buy 6 more for about $13 and save $2 ish. You can mix and match with the turnip cake and curry cake. You are a hole in the wall gem, please don't ever leave meeeeee read more

Bought some pastries here while we were waiting in line and they were tasty! Prices are reasonable and the bread is soft. I got the mini hot dog buns and garlic bread and enjoyed both.

The food is good, desserts are tasty and look good, some ethnic snacks taste legit. The owner lady seem to always have an attitude, although she doesn't lash out at customers directly, she does on her poor helpers, usually young inexperienced part timers that never last for more than 2 weeks. And that's a cycle that perpetuates itself: only influenced kids would be fooled into taking the job, there owner lady treats them poorly, the young employee leaves after a week. read more

Located right next to toro tea. Decided to stop in while on the waitlist. This little bakery has some delicious pastries, cakes, macaroons, breads and teas. Friendly service welcoming atmosphere. The pastries and breads are in display cases you can open and grab as they are individually wrapped. A similar routine like 85 bakery. Refrigerated items are neatly packaged for travel. They take card with a minimum $10 otherwise there's a .50 cent charge. Fruit cocktail cake was light and spongy with just the right amount of sweet. The red bean bun was super soft a tasty bite. So if you ever find yourself on the waitlist for some tea stop in here for a treat while you wait. read more

Their cakes are fluffy and not too sweet! One of our go-to birthday cake spots. They have different ones to choose from. I've always called in to reserve/make before pick up. Not sure if they have any premade for sale. Staff was so sweet when we asked to write our name on the mango cake, there wasn't any space or area that was flat enough to do so. They offered a white chocolate plaque and red food gel to write it instead. They always give us a $2 coupon off their pastries when we purchase a cake but we don't ever come by this bakery unless we're picking up a cake. read more

They are very traditional mama/ papa bakery that makes common and specialty asian pastries -wifey cake, savory radish pastries , bread loaves, whole & slice cake , and even some savory lunch items. i have bought many of their cakes for birthday celebrations at work. They have this taro flan cake roll that I love - it's light and yummy. It consist of a generous layer of perfectly sweetened taro paste & Taiwanese flan paired w/ few thin layers of sponge cake and finished with a top layer of date jello like jelly. Cost of cake and pastries is very comparable to neighboring bakery's . Staff is super friendly ! read more

I was in the area and didn't realize that there was a location in Diamond Bar. I usually go to the one in Rowland heights, and I get the bread with the egg salad. So I go to this location and see that they still have some available. Initially I wasn't going to get it because it was later in the day, and thought they might not be as fresh. Should have trusted my instincts! I take a couple a bite and notice that the filling tasted super sour...take another small piece to confirm what I'm tasting and it was just terrible! I called to ask them if it was supposed to taste like that..the lady I spoke to said that it was and that they put ketchup on it. It tasted as sour as pickle juice, don't think that's normal. I honestly wanted to get my money back for the two I bought which comes out to be almost $10, after speaking to the lady, I knew that wasn't going to happen... even though they are affiliated with them, I'll stick to the Rowland Heights location. What a waste. read more

Lots of variety of bread and very friendly staff! They also have a lot of traditional Chinese pastries like mooncakes and a huge menu for drinks at a decent price point! They have a few cake options as well. I tried their flakie cake recently and that was good. Not too sweet and has nice crispy flaky layers. I tried their egg, potato salad bread which was pretty good. The ingredients are very fresh. The actual bread itself was just ok, like plain bread. They had some items by the cashier for buy two get one free. There is a minimum requirement of $10 to use a credit card. It's very convenient for a quick bite if you're in the area. read more

Idk how authentic this shit is but boi this mf is fire no cap fresh basically. The sandwich seeshh.

Love their braised beef flatbread and taro mochi bread. Our go-to bakery for breakfast and birthday cakes!

Came here to get some bread after getting some tea at Torotea next door. Didn't have that much selection left at 6 pm but still was able to find a few things I liked. They had many empty boxes so I assume they have a much larger selection in the morning. Price is very reasonable, I spent like $12 for 4 items. The buns were pretty good and really no complaints in terms of quality. I'd pickup more when I'm in the area and craving some bread. read more

The pastries and toasts here are really good--I come by for them often. But I have to say, the customer service needs serious improvement. Some of the employees don't greet customers, don't smile, and honestly just seem like they don't want to be there. One time, I came in and wasn't even acknowledged--not a single word was said the entire time I was in the shop. Basic courtesies--such as a simple "hello" or "thank you"--were missing, Good food is important, but so is how customers are treated. Hope this gets addressed. read more

I came here after having a appointment nearby and saw several people leaving with bags of bread. I chose to get a wheat egg salad ($3.25) which was soft and had a good amount of filling. Green onion bun ($2.60) was not too oily and had alot of green onion toppings. They also had a mochi taro bun ($2.60) that was pretty good, it was moist and not too sweet. $10 min to use card. The staff is nice and the parking lot is a good size. read more

Not too sweet and the cake was very nice and spongy! The mango on the outside wasn't the sweetest and same with the fruit on top.

After attending a Yelp Elite event at Toro Tea, I noticed a small shop next door and decided to pop in to support a local business. The variety of pastries and breads instantly reminded me of 85°C, with so many tempting options to choose from. We picked out a few to try, and they were absolutely delicious! The staff were warm and welcoming, and the shop was clean and well-organized. I'm so glad we decided to stop by after the Yelp event! read more

I had ordered a cake and they misspelled the name. I went to the bakery to ask for a fair discount 50%. The owner got aggressive and became abusive. He threw the receipt I had taken to my face and screamed like if I was an animal. The store manager did absolutely nothing other than put her head down. It was a very unfortunate experience. This experience made me feel unsafe and as a citizen of the city of Diamond Bar, I felt that I had a responsibility to share my story for awareness. A simple transaction should never be abusive to the customer nor feel that my safety was at risk. The owner felt offended by me bringing it up to his attention. I had no resolution and I had to file a dispute with my cc company. read more

I love everything taro. This place has the best taro cakes/ taro buns / taro pastries in SoCal. No matter when I live in LA or Riverside, I only order my birthday cakes from here: regular fruit cake with taro and pudding filling. The cake is moist and taro is not artificial or too sweet. Their other taro products are also very tasty. You gotta try it if you are a taro fan like me. Tips: you will need to order the cake a day before picking it up. Sometimes you can pick it up in the late afternoon if you order it in the morning. read more

Thanks so much for providing a delicious!!! mango cake for my son's birthday. Ever since he was a baby, he's always had a mango cake. My mom went to the Ni Ni on Colima for his first cake and I decided to check out this location. Not sure if it's the same owners but the quality is the same. I even picked up some bread like the garlic bread, mini bolos, sponge cake slice, etc. The garlic bread was too big for my boy's appetite but they only had one size. I did order over the phone in Chinese in case they didn't understand my English. I even told them my English name but ended up giving my Chinese surname cuz they kept asking. Overall, great experience. read more

I ordered Mother's Day cake from this place. My mother in law loves Taro. I bought the taro fillings and crispy layers meringue vanilla cake. So delicious.

The bakery inside is not big but provide a lot of different type of pastries and breads. Also provide breakfast sandwiches. The ambiance is very simple and small without tables and chairs. Only provide togo service. This cake is $39. read more

I don't know how I've lived in Diamond Bar for three years now and missed this gem! I picked up a cake for my son's birthday last week and decided this will be the only spot I'll get cakes from for future occasions. The cake was so light and fluffy, and the whip was even lighter and airy, and not too sweet! I ordered a vanilla cake with whip, and there were fresh strawberries and mango in the middle. The family LOVED it! I bought a slice of their coffee cake and it was also very yummy. Soft and fluffy and not too sweet, and had a great coffee flavor. Reminded me of tiramisu, without the cream. Great bakery! read more

We love grabbing their sandwiches in the morning as a quick breakfast or lunch for later. The taro mochi bread is delicious and they have a matcha version if you don't like taro. For birthday cakes, our go to is the taro pudding cake. The smallest size available for that cake is 8in, but everyone loves it so even if you only have a few people, I'd still recommend it, because everyone will want some to take home. It's the only cake that I don't have to worry about having too much leftovers cuz even if people don't want it, it means more for me! read more

Found the infamous dirty bun here at Nini! I was super excited but I must say I was not impressed. It was extremely dry! Pretty much a dry croissant covered in Cocoa powder. It is tasteless too.

This place was happening! Very busy kitchen and customers flying in and out with most purchasing full sized cakes. The customer service from one lady needs major improvement and didn't seem to care about covid cleaning guidelines. I had the veggie steam boa, taro cake, and vanilla cake filled with taro. I'm so grateful that they had single serving taro cake and veggie steam boa! Both were so tasty. The veggie steam boa was filled with veggies and noodles and it was full of flavor. The taro was delicious. Airy yet filling with a light sweetness. The vanilla cake filled with taro was also to die for. I wish I bought a few dozen. I definitely want to return for more!! Note that they were out of a lot by mid day - although the bakers were hard at work in the kitchen. read more

This will be my new go to bakery for birthday cakes. My mom specifically wanted a mango cake for her birthday with mango all over the outside. I didn't even know they had a location in Diamond Bar but I called the Rowland Heights location to reserve a cake and they only had chocolate mango. They told me to pick one up at this location. I called in the afternoon to reserve one for pick up at 5 pm and was surprised it was all packaged and ready for me when I came in. The cake was amazing. I do not know of another place that makes a better mango cake. I always feel bad my sons never get any cake because they don't like Asian birthday cakes but they ate this one. My daughter who never eats cake had a slice too. I always give all the fruit on top of the cake to my kids. My brother asked where all the fruit was and my mom told him to go the refrigerator to put some on himself. My birthday is next so I will come back and for a taro cake. read more
