While the selection seemed a little limited when we were there, everything looked so good that we nearly left with one of everything. My partner doesn't get as enthusiastic as food as I do, but was really into the Mexican Scone. There appeared to be only one woman working when we visited, but she greeted us immediately and offered us large samples before we even began to look at the display case. They also have a coffee bar where you can get a good variety of drinks. I got a caramel latte and it was just the right amount of sweet. Not syrupy or cloying, but with plenty of caramel flavor. The decor is cute, and I was really endeared by the hand-painted cartoon characters on the windows. There isn't much seating, but there's more than I expected, so my partner and I had somewhere to sit while we waited for my latte. Highly recommended for the authenticity and impeccable service.

J&J Bakery is your average neighborhood Cantonese-Chinese bakery on Grand Avenue in South San…read moreFrancisco, California. Cash only. Very old spot. Not much customer greetings or chats. It's a very tiny spot that's easy to miss, but wow, there are plenty of colorful flowers just outside the front door. We decided to check it out and yes, there's no place to sit inside. Order at the counter for takeout. They have a bit of regular buns as well as pies and other western style buns. They sell whole fruit cakes too. 8-inch round mango cake was $39. Chinese buns prices hovering around $3 were as pricey as the ones found in the South Bay Area/San Jose. Upkeep isn't the best though/more outdated. We purchased a cocktail bun/a mushroom & cheese bun/a ham & cheese/a hot dog bun/and a coconut pineapple bun. The 5-pieces were decent in size, but were stuffed into two paper bags for us which was quite different than what we expected. Buns made the paper bags very oily. We should have asked for a small box or something. They have good selections, but taste is average and doesn't stand out. Whole cakes look tempting though. Cashier needs to smile more. Overall, it's a tiny bakery for convenience. Not bad nor great here. I would look around for better options elsewhere.

I decided to get an Earl Grey panna cotta, an ube pan, some milk bread, and a pesto cheese roll. The panna cotta and ube pan were amazing - creamy, not overly sweet, and all around delicious. The respective flavors of each came through nicely without being overpowering. Would highly recommend. The milk bread is only ok, I feel like it lacks a bit of flavor. And the pesto cheese roll didn't taste super fresh. I used to get these a long time ago and they had a bread slicer that would cut the giant bread into perfect strips for sharing. The cashier asked if I wanted mine sliced so I said yes, but didn't realize it was just hand slicing, so we just got a few big chunks of bread that I had to rip apart more once we got home.

Dear Andersen Bakery Management, I am writing to formally…read morecomplain about the unacceptable treatment I received at your [location] store on [date] at approximately [time]. I purchased breakfast at your bakery and was a legitimate paying customer. After finishing my meal, I briefly stepped outside to smoke and then returned to use the restroom. As I was heading toward the restroom, a staff member loudly confronted me in front of other customers and stated that the restroom was for customers only. I immediately explained that I had just purchased breakfast and had been dining at the bakery. Despite this explanation, the employee repeatedly refused to acknowledge that I was a customer, continued the confrontation, and ultimately threatened to call the police. At no point was I disruptive, aggressive, or violating any policy. The employee's conduct was unreasonable, humiliating, and entirely disproportionate to the situation. Being publicly challenged and threatened with police involvement despite being a paying customer was both embarrassing and distressing. This incident raises serious concerns regarding staff training, customer treatment, and the abuse of authority by employees. No customer should be subjected to public humiliation or threats for attempting to use facilities after making a purchase. I request that management: Conduct a formal review of this incident. Identify and address the employee's conduct. Provide a written response explaining what corrective actions will be taken. Ensure that staff receive appropriate training regarding customer interactions and de-escalation.

Best mochi on there area, so amazingly light, chewy and the fillings are so good. Also pay cash if you can but they also take credit cards for purchases greater than $5

It's really one of the only Chinese style bakeries around the area so this is the one I typically would go to. The baked goods are decent. It's not any of the best I've ever had but it does satisfy the cravings. They also serve milk tea there or you can also ask for Yin Yang, which is 50% coffee and 50% milk tea. The service is OK the staff there collect your money and get you on your way so really nothing to complain about there. The bake shop and ambience is that of a typical Chinese style bakery you walk in and you grab your tray along with the tongs and you pick out the specific pastries that you want, and you put it on the plate and give it to the staff person at the front near the counter. That's also where you can get your egg tarts and other type of goods such as the more fresh pastries with meat in inside like a cha siew bao. If you pay with cash is cheaper as I believe they charge a surcharge when you pay with credit card. Parking is easy because it is just part of the big plaza area with plenty of parking.

I'm not the biggest Lemon fan and I highly recommend this! I didn't pick this up, da wahini did, she was told this was the best seller. Gotta say...I agree!

However, maybe it's because I waited a couple of days to eat it. Highly recommend transferring to a plate or trey if you're gonna wait as long as I did as some juices seeped out of the bottom corners of the box. My dad loves lemon desserts and he loved this one. He said it's like bread pudding. A very dense one. There's no weird aftertaste that many sugar free desserts or sodas have. I really couldn't tell it was sugar free! Everyone loved it. I opted for pickup instead of delivery since I was heading that way anyway. Parking is tough. I ended up parking in a red zone at the corner a few houses away and got a little worried but I was able to pick it up within 5 minutes without getting a ticket. Whew! Ordered directly from the website and got a text once the order was ready for pickup. The minute Veronica opened the door, a cloud of baked goods hit my nose and I was in heaven. I really had to refrain myself from eating it as soon as I got back to my car. I had to put it in my trunk to avoid temptation. Picked it up on a Friday and had to hide it from myself until Sunday for Father's Day! Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.
