Was walking north from Howlin Rays to the touristy area where the Bruce Lee statute is located. Stumbled upon this bakery off the main road. The wife owner seemed nice. Got 2 Portuguese egg tarts for $3.25. Not sure how long it's been sitting. But it was warm, fluffy and the filling tasted good. This bakery opens early and closes later than most bakeries in Chinatown. They close around 6pm. It's my first time at this bakery. They expect and want tourists to come in. read more

Queens bakery is a family favorite! We've been getting our cakes and pastries here for literally decades. All my old classmates used to also get their cakes here and loved them! I still come here to get small items, like cream puffs, rolls, and baos (my favorite is their coconut cream one!). I once asked my friend if they liked going to 85 degrees bakery and they said it tastes just like the bakeries in Chinatown (but more expensive), and I have to say I agree xD. Queens bakery is my go-to! read more

It itself Is quite nostalgic for me as my grandmother and I would frequently visit Chinatown. I decided to visit after quite a few years to enjoy a vanilla bread and it still did not disappoint! It is sad how quiet China town has gotten over the years but am happy this little bakery is still there! Keep going strong! read more

My mom loves their almond cookies. I stopped by to pick up a box of 40. I believe it was ~ $8-9. Really fresh and crumbly and not too sweet. I also pick up rice puff, not my favorite, it was not as chewy and sweet as the prepackaged ones that I am used to eating growing up. It's more flakey, if that's what you like, definitely worth trying at least once. They take credit card not sure if there was an extra charge to it read more

Like many places in Chinatown, minimum $15 for card otherwise cash. Cashier refused to talk in English and just handed me a calculator for the bill. While they have their plain cakes and bread consistent, other elements are a tad underwhelming. I think their bread is better than their cake. Mango cake ($4) - I was surprised the cubed mango was crunchy and sour instead of sweet and ripe. Not sure if it is just a baker's preference thing or to make the fruit on the cake last longer. I do prefer my fruit cakes to have ripe fruit. Cream was not appetizing. Their chiffon cake however was very soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness. I don't think I would try their cakes again, but it's good for the price. Coffee cream cheese bun ($2.5) - I really, really like this. It actually had coffee flavor on top and it contrasted well with the savory cream cheese inside. Taro cream bun ($2.5) - Like the other bun, the bread itself was phenomenal. Taro filling was good too. read more

Dessert hunting in Chinatown Los Angeles! After lunch, Alana and I searched our Yelp app for dessert and we found this Chinese bakery. We chose it because we read Santi's 5 star review. Craig was nearby, so we asked him to join us... This was a good idea because we could try more goodies! Craig got the Chocolate puffs which came in a set of three...perfect! One for each of us! It was just okay...like my Swan Puff pastry...cute, but mediocre taste. Nothing memorable... Alana chose the winner... Strawberry shortcake with almonds...mmm! Fresh strawberries with soft, fluffy cake covered with sweet creamy frosting...just right! I think we'd return if we were in the area. The service was prompt and they let me take a chair from behind the counter so the three of us could sit together at the lone table in the bakery. That was really nice of them! read more

Been a customer of Queen's Bakery for years now! Love their cakes (strawberry, mixed fruit, and Black Forest)! Their pastries are also always fresh too so I end up buying a couple whenever I come to pick up a cake. The cakes here are my all time favorites and everyone in my family loves them too. With COVID-19, Queen's has placed signs on their door to guide people in social distancing. They only allow a certain number of people inside at a time and people form a line outside. Also, no parking available but there's plenty of street and residential parking nearby. read more

The sachima ("rice puffs") at Queen's Bakery outshines its distant relatives - rice krispies and funnel cake. It positions itself squarely in the sweet spot - light yet indulgent. Puff and nonsense - no rice! Dough way! These "rice puffs" are made merely of flour and egg, held together with a syrupy base, and then deep-fried skillfully in oil. End result? Squares of lightly sweetened and extremely soft and fluffy fried dough puffs! The crowning touch includes a sprinkle of white sesame seeds and shredded coconut. Overall, the "rice puffs" pair well with a cup of tea. Each square is light in taste but too much at once does cause an oily aftertaste. At $6.50 for a dozen (two layers with six pieces each), this is an incredible value for fresh "rice puffs!" Price inflation is applicable. There is no alternative once you try the Queen's standard! read more

Queen's Bakery - "Rice Puffs" - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The sachima makes this place a 4-star. Without their staple this bakery may be a 2-star. Sachima is still perfection. No place can compare. Recipe hasn't changed in decades. The place is not the nicest. I tried a swan custard puff and it was the driest baked good I had ever had. Won't ever stray from just getting sachima again. I bought three boxes and they were amazing!!! What a treat!! And price is very reasonable considering how much other food prices has increased. The service was ok. read more

Went on a Sunday evening 5p ish - and FINALLY it was empty! Usually during weekend mornings / afternoons, it's a bit hard for me to get their attention and order what I want. This time, I was able to ask questions and take my time. Cash only. I engulfed the cream puff - it was more of a whip cream filling rather than egg-y custard, but it still tasted good. The bready part was dry so perhaps not made that day; however, I would still order it again as it's so hard to find eggy cream puffs anywhere! I also got a red bean bun and a custard filled bun and ate ALL of these dessert in one sitting, same day. YES, I have a sweet tooth problem. I would highly recommend for your dessert needs. Can't wait to try their other baked goods. read more

As I was walking through Chinatown, I was craving something sweet. Lucky for me, Queens Bakery was right there to provide relief! There's a good variety of breads and pastries, but I opted to try their famous rice puffs. A two pack was more than I needed and a steal given the cost. At first, I felt a little bit of regret, as I wanted something fluffy. Why, oh why did I not get the sponge cake?! However one bite in and my mood completely changed. As others have noted, the rice puffs may look like rice crispies but they're anything but! Super airy and subtly sweet, the rice puffs definitely are one of Queens Bakerys specialties for a reason! They also have boxes of rice puffs that you can buy and bring to a friends/event. Do it and your friend will thank you for sure. read more

The only reason worth coming here is because my mom likes the rice puffs. Bought $40 worth of pineapple buns and rice puffs and asked for ONE small box as some were a gift, and I didn't want to present them in the cheap clear cellophane wrap. Was rudely told I can't have one and would be charged 50 cents. Atrocious service and the young sales girl has a nasty attitude. A woman who walked in and heard the interaction immediately left also. Totally understand that a business can't be giving away boxes to every one that asks, but you'd think after a certain price point in purchases, you can give one complimentary box. Lost two customers over a 50 cents. read more

Best rice puffs ever. I gift them to family and friends, and they all joke that they are insanely addictive. They are light and not too sweet. Their cakes are not bad either. Make sure you order in advance so the cream taste better. Sometimes it feels like the cake has been refrigerated for too long. I think their plain yellow sponge cake is quite a delight. Their tres leches cake is too sweet. We ordered one for a birthday recently and asked them to make it less sweet, but it was still a tad too sweet. The kids of course thought it was not sweet enough. Parking is tough. When I come here, I either have to find street meter parking and walk over or someone will drive and drop me off in the entrance. read more

Very affordable and the workers there are very kind. Been getting their pastries and cake for years now. My favorite is the little fruit tarts. read more

Always a must go destination whenever I visit LA. The rice puffs are both fluffy and not overly sweet. Making for the perfect dessert after a meal. Rice puffs also make for a great gift to bring back home to friends and family as they can keep longer than other pastries. read more

Classic Chinese bakery. Bought sachima which reminds me of days long past! Still delicious!! Easy street parking or just lucky. We were in and out quickly. Workers were quick and efficient. Not talkative but not rude either. Would like to go back and try all the tasty looking items in the display cases. read more

Purchased a strawberry cake for a birthday and upon cutting and eating we all spat out. The cake was rotten in a matter of hours. Called the store and they told me that they couldn't help my situation. Been a customer for 20 years, not anymore. I knew I should have just gone to phoenix bakery. They would never serve rotten cake. read more

This posting is long overdue. I always order my baby's birthday cake from Queen's every year and they never disappoint from the decor/design to taste. The price is very affordable for the quality they provide. Placing the order via email was easy simple. The workers are very helpful and provides excellent service every time. read more

This place has wonderful pastries, both attractive & delicious, very reasonable prices as well! Vanilla cream bun is the best! Buttercream is smooth, not over filled, no oily aftertaste! Bread is fresh, chewy, & not dry! Coconut shavings are minimal. I feel so satisfied after eating such a perfect treat! Well worth the drive down Los Angeles! I also tried the cream puff which was on par with Beard Papa's heavy cream, not too much powdered sugar or filling, slightly crispy shell. I like it but the cream bun is better! There's also a cream puff with a swan cookie in it which would be a cute gift. They also sell flavored drinks and teas. Notes: Very small space, no bathroom, $15 minimum to use credit, ATM inside. 4 customers max inside. Plenty of side parking due to lack of people. read more

I made my way to Queen's for one thing: Their famous rice puffs. Sure, they aren't the most exciting treat in the world, but when made right, they're incredibly satisfying. The owner encouraged me to just buy an entire box of rice puff cakes versus three of the two-pack sleeves, which is exactly what I did. I was concerned I would receive an old batch since I stopped by 30 minutes before closing time, but that was not the case. At $6.50/box, you get a dozen square pieces. Each rice puff was soft and had a great texture, while the flavor (sesame and a light honey) was great; grated coconut coats the bottom of each piece. As someone who isn't fond of sweets, these were fantastic; my parents enjoy them, too. I'll try their other baked goodies, but I'm definitely returning for two boxes of their rice puffs the next time I'm in Chinatown. read more

Fresh sachima made in house! Quite unique and different from the ones that I've tried from supermarkets.

Yelp comes through again! This wonderful bakery had many great reviews so I tried it out. Turns out it was just as good as all the reviews say. They take cake orders too which is wonderful. My cake was strawberry topped with strawberries and peaches and kiwi. Creamy and delicious! read more

This place makes me feel at home! It has a variety of pastries to choose from and they are decently priced. We got a box of almond cookies from this bakery and they were $7 for 40 cookies! This is the perfect gift for family members to receive. Just so you know it's $15 credit card minimum so either order lots or bring cash with you! Parking is also a little difficult to find since it's a busy street in Chinatown but you can get lucky! read more

The bakery fell off and the 2 ladies working there are very rude. How do you give out a cake with out a proper box, it's a bakery the presentation should be well kept and not half assed. You're spending over $100 on a cake it should be given in a proper box. Have better service and attention to detail if you want a returning client. This place has lost my business and hopefully they get their act together before they lose other clients. read more

Came here for the first time. I got the shredded pork roll and chicken bun(?). I dont remember the name of the chicken bun, but it was so good it was well seasoned and warm. Their pork roll was soft, i wish the roll had more shredded pork, but it was still good. I like that they package every item individually for each bread. Will come back soon. read more

This hole in the wall establishment has been known for their pastries for some time now. Very rarely do I get to go to Chinatown, but when I do, I made sure I stocked up on the goodies. I really enjoyed the coffee bun. Price-wise, they have risen a bit so that's a bummer. I believe they do offer validated parking for those that spend $25 and over. read more

This place isn't so bad! We were walking past it and wanted something sweet. I got a little baby sized tart with a slice of tiramisu. The creme on the tart was really fresh. I was surprised how good their tiramisu was as well. The tart was $.75 and the tiramisu was $3. Great pricing! I would definitely recommend it if you want something quick and cheap. read more

my friend and I were walking down the street on a mission for pho, but when we passed Queen's Bakery, a gorgeous slice of fruit cake caught my eye. I couldn't help myself so we went inside and in that moment I knew this was somewhere special. I will shamefully admit I was a neglectful cake parent and left it in the car while I ran a few errands. when I got home, I refrigerated the cake for an hour and when I ate her... my life changed. the whipped cream frosting is light, fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. now I need to go back for the rice puffs. the cherry on top (sorry!!) is that the people who work here are soo nice :) tldr go here if u want to change your life for the better read more

This place is a Chinatown institution, but it's not until I left LA that I really was introduced to it. Moving to the Bay Area, I saw boxes for Queen's bakery at a lot of local shops and thought it was weird that they would be selling a product from LA in the Bay. When I would visit friends and family in LA my in laws would request that I pick up a suitcase full of boxes for them. The pastry's are very good, not too sweet and light and airy. I always pick up one or two when I am in the area. However, the most popular items are the almond cookies and the rice puffs. I'm not a big fan of almond cookies, but I will eat the ones here. The rice puffs, on the other hand, are heavenly. They come pre packaged in a box for $6.50 and are like a rice crispy treat. They are less sticky and less sweet than the American version but are 1000x better. The toasted rice puffs are mixed with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. The sweet coating gives off a great honey flavor that is not overly sweet and leaves you wanting more. Come by and try a box. You won't regret it. read more

OH MY HOLY CREAM PUFF! Best cream puff's and eclairs I have ever tasted in a very long time! Seriously...They are so good they are addicting! I stumbled upon Queen's Bakery one Saturday when I had this crazy idea to explore chinatown by foot from end to end...Uhm, not the best idea especially in one of those weird spring days when it's about 81 degrees outside---and so, I decided to drive around and parked somewhere close to the action (Broadway and College is always bustling) I walked around and tinker on things that are interesting, new to me and maybe some that I'm not even supposed to touch, so after several minutes of this wandering, tinkering and snooping around, I stumbled upon this tiny slice of Neverland!!! In the midst of all this chaos and never ending parade of people, Queens Bakery looked more like a cave...A cave with delicious jewels inside! Fruit tarts, eclairs!, CREAM PUFFS!, and cupcakes, cakes and more cakes!!! All smelling delicious and wreaks the intoxicating smell of butter and cream, I was very fortunate that they weren't that busy as I have been helped graciously by this young girl behind the counter, I was like a kid in a candy store; 2 Cream puffs, 2 Eclairs, 1 Napoleon, 1 giant cannoli and other things that will seriously make the Biggest Loser coaches cringe haha I have to say all were AMAZINGLY Delicious, creamy, buttery and divine...for someone with a sweet-tooth like me, this place is like Nirvana! Pastries are inexpensive, if you have $1.65, you can certainly have a treat that you won't soon forget. Almost all that I tried were REALLY good, the Napoleon is okay, but not good enough to make me do cartwheels. Overall, I highly recommend Queens Bakery if you happen to be wandering in this part of the world...not mention, a very cool gift to people you love...Cream Puff's makes people smile :) Enjoy! read more

The food is good, woman at the register was very rude. Snapped at me when I asked if a pastry had a hot dog in it, when it was behind a placard marked "hot dog". However I didn't see it in there so I asked. She also angrily waved me over when I was just browsing and wanted to look where some people had JUST left, so I didn't swoop in hurriedly. Not that hard to be even a little nice yet I guess that kind of decency is too much for her. read more
