Occasion Bakery

I love walking in and immediately seeing all the pastries on display. They look so pretty and cute!…read moreI went to the counter and everyone I talked to on the staff was so kind and friendly. I ordered a cake for my birthday and was able to pick it up the morning of the next day. It came with candles, matches, and a cake spatula that you can cut and serve the cake with. I got the cappuccino cake that looks like a cup of cappuccino. The inside was coffee flavored and it was so soft and fluffy. The cream also had coffee flavored and it was absolute heaven in my mouth. It had a caramel top over a white chocolate layer and it also had a chocolate handle, 3 coffee bean shaped chocolates on top, and a couple of chocolate sticks next to the chocolate logo of the bakery. They even wrote Happy Birthday in chocolate on the board the cake was on. The packaging was neat and compact so it didn't take too much space in the fridge and still kept the cake in perfect condition. I always order my birthday cakes from here every year because it's the only bakery that gets the texture of a whole cake actually right. Not dense and heavy, but light and airy and not too sweet.

I really wanted to like this place because my friends visit pretty often but my experience was…read moredisappointing. I spent around 10 to 15 dollars on a few higher priced items and they turned out to be stale. To make matters worse I actually ended up getting sick after eating them. As for the service it was alright overall. The store was very busy and there were only two tellers working but they were pretty fast and I was able to check out at a quick pace. The ambience was nothing crazy to talk about and it just looks like a standard small bakery with some seating. Typically when I have an experience like this I choose not to return. My friends have invited me back since then but after that first experience I just do not have any interest in going back.

Awesome!

There was so many to pick from. I usually like to get the pork buns, which are my favorite but the second would be the hot dog bun. They really have expanded their menu. It's really a takeout place not to sit down to eat but that's fine. The insight was decorated in Chinese new year, which is the horse. I will be back soon to get their dozen, but if you buy all same varieties, you get the 13 free. Another insight is a take credit cards now and before they didn't only cash base.

It's been awhile since I've been here and looks there's there's been some updates. Their menu items…read moreare on tv screens now and they take credit cards but with a bit of a price difference. Like pork buns are 3.00 cash and 3.09 credit card. But at least that's an option now. Warmly greeted and helped at the front counter when I walked in. Looks like a traditional Chinese bakery with their decor and set up and heard the front counter lady say their food is more based on the south side of China. Their steam pork buns will always be a favorite. I was lucky enough to walk in when they brought out a fresh new batch so it was still nice and warm when I got home. Dough is sweet and fluffy with their bbq pork filling. For 3.00 a bun, it was quite smaller than I remember. The ratio of the dough and filling was also not as portioned. Some bites you just get the dough. First time having their steam chicken buns and was surprised to see that it was sliced chicken with veggies and a slice boiled egg. This was not it for me. It was like eating a stir fry in a bun. Though this bun was bigger and more portioned than the steam pork buns. This was also my first time trying their Shumai dumplings. The flavor was there. A nice umami flavor. But I was missing the bouncy texture of the meat. And for 4 for 7.00 they were pretty small (compared to the dim sum places). Looking forward to trying other others on their menu now that the menu and signs are easier to see/read.

My girlfriend and I just decided to write about this place b/c we're both floored by it. The food is hands down, the best armenian fresh prep food in all of fresno. My family has been here since the late 1800s and eating @ occasions make me feel closer to my armenian heritage.

She truly made me feel welcomed and accommodated. She answered all my questions and offered a lot of suggestions, every single one was SO GOOD! She was so nice and I really enjoyed talking to her. It felt like I was at my aunts house. Everything I tried from here was amazing. First, I got half a dozen lahmajoon (Armenian meat pizza) for just $15 which is the most decent price in town. They're so much more expensive in LA. The flavor was perfect and it was a filling and satisfying lunch. I also got the spinach and cheese byorek which was huge! As soon as I put it in my mouth, it was love at first bite. I don't know what kind of magic they baked into that, but it's addicting and I'm craving more of it!! I got their famous banana cannoli and it was so creamy and dreamy. That flavor of banana really shines through and the shell had perfect texture. I tried some of their other flavors of cannoli as well and each one was just as delicious and flavorful. Their gata, ohhhh their gata.... Wow. It was just the right amount of sweet and it danced in my mouth. Pair it with tea or coffee and your taste buds will thank you. It was soft enough to not crumble everywhere when you take a bite and the filling was out of this world. Even their bread (called Barbari) was fluffy and smelled like heaven. It's a versatile bread that you can use with anything and it's even yummy on its own. I made a sandwich with it and I don't think I can go back to regular bread. So if you're hasty for a tasty pastry, 100% you should run to this bakery!
