I'm sure the bakery items are good The drinks particularly the milk teas are like water with a hint of flavoring I got honey green tea and it was literally tea with a hint of sugar you taste the bitterness of the tea but not the sweetness of the sugar and mind you I got 70% with light ice but it's not supposed to be that bland is it? read more

Sheng Kee feels more like a retail outlet for centrally produced baked goods than a traditional bakery. From what I could tell, there isn't any baking happening on-site, and unfortunately the items we purchased reflected that. We picked up three pastries to go, and all of them were disappointing. The Napoleon was especially underwhelming--it was dry and crumbly, with a texture that reminded me more of sawdust than a fresh pastry. The red bean cake lacked flavor and sweetness, and it tasted as though it had been sitting around for a while. The cream bun was probably the biggest letdown. The filling tasted artificial, almost like powdered milk mixed with margarine rather than a fresh cream filling. The store itself is spacious and offers a large selection of pastries, cakes, and breads, which is probably why it remains popular. However, selection alone doesn't make up for quality issues. Based on this visit, freshness seemed to be lacking, and the products didn't live up to the appealing display case. I've had much better pastries from other Asian bakeries in the Bay Area. While Sheng Kee may be convenient for grabbing a cake or bread in a pinch, the items we tried were mediocre at best. I left feeling disappointed and don't see myself making a special trip back. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery & Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Daly City, California

this is a good sheng kee location, conveniently located in westlake shopping center in daly city, just off 280, convenient to hwy 1 and skyline, so if you live in pacifica, daly city, or ssf, this is a close drive (or walk!) this location has the usual cakes, assortment of chinese pastries, mooncakes, pineapple buns, etc. my husband loves the coconut cream buns and i usually go for the mooncakes. on my last trip, i needed to buy a full size cake for a party and it was super easy to stop in and choose a cake without calling in advance to order one. they even box it up and offer inscription/writing on the cake if needed. a 6-7 inch cake runs around $30-36, very reasonable for 2026! parking can be challenging, and if you come on a weekend or peak shopping hours, be prepared to circle around for a spot or park on the street since this is a very popular shopping center. read more

Love that they serve Peet's coffee, another option aside from Starbucks in that center. They also have a seating area which is nice. The walnut cookies are amazing. I can't get enough. read more

They need to update their hours post it open at 7 AM. I'm here but they don't open until 8am.

Sheng Kee has a lot of locations throughout the bay. Their buns are OK and tend to run on the smaller side. I do like how they open early at 7am and have warm pastries. Today I got ham & egg bun $2.75, Vietnamese sandwich $5.85, bbq pork flick $2.55 and 2x chicken pie $2.25. They were OK, not great. The worst was their version of a "Vietnamese" sandwich. read more

This bakery produces the fluffiest most amazing loaves of bread. Their Taiwan toast is a staple in my kitchen and is how I love to start my morning, paired with salted butter and jam or even at lunch with a tuna sandwich. There's nothing better than enjoying a slice freshly opened from the store, so chewy and pillowy. It's wonderfully satisfying. We recently also learned that their custard loaves are just as heavenly, specifically the pineapple raisin custard toast. A bit of an inaccurate description though--there's no pineapple flavor at all! :) However, we're willing to overlook that detail because the bread is delicious. The crisp strudel that adorns the top of the loaf, the swirls of strudel on each slice, and the smattering of raisins for good measure. It's a dream :) Minus 1 star since these custard loaves are a bit hollow inside--they could be a bit more generous. Note that paying by card requires a $5 minimum, but that certainly shouldn't be a problem at this place. They also have a much smaller location inside 99 Ranch on Skyline but stock is usually picked through. read more

I called on Monday morning, to reserve a cake for Tuesday afternoon pick up. Ordered a Strawberry Mousse cake $35.95. The guy on the phone was nice, polite, knowledgeable. He took my order, name and phone number with ease. Came in on Tuesday afternoon, my cake was ready. Told the cashier at the counter that I have a cake reserved under my name, he was friendly and quick. He handled my cake with care, asked if I would like a plate set. The cake is really delicious. The strawberry mousse was medium thick, creamy and smooth. Not too sweet. Smells really amazing. It blended really well with the sponge cake. The fruit they used as decoration is full strawberries and grapes. I don't eat the actual fruit strawberries but my whole family said it was fresh and sweet. The grapes were really crispy and sweet. Definitely a cake I would order again. read more

RUDE LADY AT THE CASHIER. Had an unpleasant experience with the Asian lady working there. I didn't get her name but she was working the front cashier, had bangs/short black hair, and middle aged. She rudely yelled to my boyfriend and I, "THE LINE STARTS THERE, CAN'T YOU SEE?!" There was someone finishing up their transaction in line and we lined up on the right side because we didn't see the poorly hand written sign to line up on the left side. She came at us with attitude right away and rolled her eyes and scoffed when we didn't see it. We told her she should treat people with respect but she just scoffed again. I usually have a good experience at this location but she must be a new worker or manager who needs some serious customer service training. If she hates her job she should not be working in a place like that where her horrible service represents the place. read more

Bags: Every individual pastry is put in a clear plastic bag but they leave the bags open. Other bakeries seal the opening of these bags, but this bakery left them all open. The bags have little sticky strips at the opening that allows them to be sealed closed, similar to how you seal an envelope, but they didn't use them. Some of the oil from the savory pastries leaked out because of this. Display: They have a good diverse selection, but one section was not clearly marked. The bacon bun label was next to the chicken bun label, but the buns looked very similar. I've never seen this type of bun before so I thought they were different buns and it was just hard to tell the chicken bun had chicken in them or not. Afterwards, I saw on the receipt that they were the same bun. They should stack the bacon one clearly behind the bacon label and not let it over flow to the chicken bun section, which should be left empty if there was none. Or if the chicken bun does look like the bacon bun, then did they charge me the wrong item? Seating: They have a small section for seating. The cleanliness is okay. Most people just order take out. Service: Workers seem nice. The wait took about 15 min. even though we only had two people ahead of us. They only had two workers so I guess that's normal. By the time we paid, there was a long line. Food: Most of the pastries taste similar to other bakeries that sell similar products. -Bacon bun was okay but I probably wouldn't buy it again. -Pork sung bun taste like other bakeries that off the same option but there was a little too much mayo for me so it's a little heavy because of the mayo. -Green onion with pork sung tasted weird. It had an odd taste that I recognize but don't like. I'm not sure what it was but I wouldn't buy that again. -Green onion but was okay. I prefer a little more green onion but the flavor is fine. -Curry beef was okay. Flavor tastes normal and not too strong, but I'm not sure I would buy it again. -Chocolate cream is like a large round éclair but they use their yummy bread base in place of the puff pastry. Would definitely buy this again, but there is a little odd tart, tangy, or sour flavor that I've never tasted before in a puff pastry or éclair. It's very light so it's not a deal breaker. -Purple yam & custard buns both are really good and taste the same as other bakeries. read more

I've been going here for years now. I usually go here when I'm craving Taiwan Toast, bbq pork bun, cocktail bun... just to name a few. The place is always well kept and clean. You're greeted right away upon entering. I recently tried the mango green tea, and it was delicious was very refreshing and reasonably priced. I also tried the mango strawberry pudding. I thought it was so cute in its container. It wasn't too sweet and very light. read more

I haven't been to any Sheng Kee location in a while and stopped by since I was having lunch in the area. I went picked up my favorite loaf of custard bread.

I was sorely disappointed in the poor quality. read more

I've never been a huge fan of Sheng kee because their baked goods weren't that interesting to me but this time when I stopped by, I was actually intrigued by some of their products. Sheng kee is never a place where I would buy pineapple buns because it never seems fresh. This time when I was there, I actually got a pineapple bun! It looked so fluffy and it was actually warm! The bun itself tasted like how pineapple buns should taste like, sweet on top and soft bread underneath. I also got their black sesame roll which also seemed to be a newer product. The black sesame cake itself was delightful. Full of toasted black sesame flavor. The cream on the other hand could use some work. It almost tasted like frosting. Too sweet in my opinion. It would be nice if they use the cream on their whipped cream cakes. I also ended up trying their fresh egg tarts. Usually I get their Portuguese egg tarts in the warmer and they're always delightful. The egg tarts are pretty good too. The crust is more on the oily flakey side which I prefer over a cookie crust. Good job Sheng kee. I will be back! Note- there are birds that sneak inside this store which doesn't seem the most sanitary. They stay on the side where customers drop their crumbs and not where the breads are being sold read more

Sheng Kee Bakery in the heart of Westlake. It is in a popular shopping center which can get crowded. Place near Home Depot, Panda Express, and Safeway parking can be difficult. Inside Sheng Kee Bakery is presentable. I love how every pastries is presented and ready to get. I only gone into this location when I was a student at San Francisco State University. It is worth having in between classes. If I am not mistaken Sheng Kee has been in business long as Home Depot when the shopping center was remodel. I don't think any other business in that shopping has stayed in business as long as Sheng Kee. If you're in Westlake give Sheng Kee a try! read more

It been awhile since I've visited the Westlake Shopping Center. It's supposedly one of the first shopping malls built in America and has gone through an updating and expansion. So after a recently lunch here, we decided to check out the Center and happened upon Sheng Kee. The original location on Irving Street has grown to eleven locations around the Bay Area. With self-service display cases of Chinese buns, pastries and various baked goods in plastic bags, you grab a tray and tongs and pick out the goodies that you want and pay at the counter. They have various flavors of bread on top of the display cases. There are cakes and other sweet desserts in the refrigerated cases and hot desserts like egg tarts and curry beef horns that you can order from the clerks. They have boba, tea and juice drinks as well. I bought: A loaf of black sesame toast. It was tasty with black sesame in the bread. Purple Romance with fresh taro. I bought it to compare to my favorite taro bun from the other chain bakery with the double digits it its name. This was good but not as good as my favorite as the there was too little taro filling. Lot of choices here and I'm sure there is something for everyone if you need to fill your Chinese baked goods cravings. read more

I have been a long time customer of this Sheng Kee location at Westlake Mall, we lived in Daly City for 15 years and moved to Martinez a little over 9 years ago. Whenever we come in for haircuts, I always make a stop at Sheng Kee to bring home some treats. I went in for haircuts yesterday, 10/25/25 and picked up 4 pastries to take home. Every single pastry was stale, like it was sitting out for several days. I can't believe all 4 tasted stale, I can excuse 1 maybe 2, but all 4? I realize that it was a Saturday, but that is no excuse. Unfortunately you have lost a longtime customer, I will never step foot in your establishment again. read more

Their. Ames are good.Always come here to get cake. Bad experience today. It took the lady long time to fixed the box and closed it.

She pulled it back very rude, tried fixing it and end up made it worst. I asked her to put it into a new box but she gave me a look, very rude. read more

There is plenty of parking available at the Westlake Shopping Center. I visited on a Friday afternoon and only had one person ahead of me in line, allowing for a quick visit. I purchased the raspberry mango mousse cake from the display, which was a great size for a party of eight, with three small slices left over. The cake base and mousse was light and not overly sweet, exactly to our liking. Additionally, the cashier kindly offered to include a small "Happy Birthday" sign on the cake. read more

Picked up a strawberry cake with whipped cream for a birthday and everyone devoured it! The yellow cake was chiffony and very light and the whipped cream was fresh and not overly sweet. There were quite a few strawberries included in the cake, so it was really moist and delicious! Would definitely buy more cakes from Sheng Kee! I was at the Daly City location and they've really enlarged it. Lots of pastries in self-serve cases (use the tongs, please!!) and an area where you can sit and have beverages with your yummy pastries! read more

Sheng Kee started with one bakery on Irving Street in 1981 and currently has a dozen locations around the Bay Area. I think they have the corner on Chinese baked goods and sweets. I didn't do any market research to back up my claim. I know because I was looking at a wishing tree through a window at a middle school. That's where students leave notes on what they hope the future will bring. While most wrote high-minded messages about world peace or the end of climate change, one stated unequivocally "More Sheng Kee". Clearly this was someone with clear priorities. I can't say I feel the same way quite as strongly, but... When I find myself at Westlake, the prominent corner location makes it hard to resist when I'm in a peckish mood. What I appreciate most about their baked goods is how they aren't overly sweet or fussy. My favorite may be what most would find quite dull, the $2.25 slice of Chocolate/Orange Sponge Cake (photo: https://bit.ly/3haQiMl). The double decker confection has just a thin layer of milk frosting separating the flavors. I also got the $1.85 Portuguese Custard Tart (photo: https://bit.ly/3NC2Poy) and a $1.95 Hong Kong Pineapple Bun (photo: https://bit.ly/3DZ6M3d) just because I just couldn't drop those tongs. Maybe my wishing tree should have them hanging on the branches. BAKED GOODS - 4 stars...tasty and unadorned AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...cleanly presented so you can take it to go SERVICE - 3.5 stars...very much a transaction TOTAL - 4 stars...take the tongs from my hands RELATED - Exploring the peninsula south of San Francisco?

I love how spacious the bakery is!! I came in to ask for my sister if the store was hiring and was hoping to speak to the manager about it or get a physical paper form, but none of the workers spoke English so it was a struggle but eventually they just pointed at the sign outside which scanned a QR code. Honestly, not the best experience... also I noticed how some of the pastries here reminded me of the ones at 85 Bakery. read more

The milk tea is very watered down now and some items are not as good quality than before..

This Sheng Kee location is not very good but decent in the area. The quality is noticeably worse than the one I have tried in the SF Sunset district. I would not come here just for the bakery, but I might stop by occasionally if I need some small bite-sized pastries for breakfast. At least it's better than 99 Ranch in-store bakery tho. read more

I've always loved eating here. My favorite are ham egg, and cream bun. However, they have added cheese on the ham and egg long time ago. I've stopped buying it.

Went to the Westlake store after coming from Trader Joe's. Bought 4 items, a chocolate cookie, a croissant pastry, and 2 pre-cut cakes from their case. I was very disappointed with the cake, a mango cake and mocha cake. They were not fresh, not sure how many days they've been sitting in the glass case. The icing was hard on both cakes, and cake did not taste fresh. Also got a red bean pastry individually wrapped. It tasted a little moldy. The chocolate cookie was not tasty. I would not recommend the pre-cut cakes and bean filled pastries. What a waste . I had to throw them away after a few bites! read more

Yummy baked goods and pretty good drink menu - milk teas includes three free toppings of your choice. First time I've seen this option and it's good too.

My favorite place for buns! Buns are soft and buttery and remind me of my childhood. There are locations all around San Francisco. Buns are prepared fresh daily. Sometimes by noon my favorite buns have been sold out. Give the cream bun and cocktail buns a try. The moon cakes are perfect to share to bring back to work as a gift. The cakes are light and not too sweet. I always stop by whenever I head to San Francisco. I wish they had these bakeries elsewhere in California! read more

One of my go to weekly location to get pastries for mom. She loves their baked pork bun, and I like the cream coconut bun, or cocktail bun. Sometimes, I would buy their shredded pork bun. During birthdays, I would also buy their cakes like their tiramisu and mocha cake. It's not bad, and their fruit tarts too. Their cakes are nit too sweet at all nor have too much whipped cream unlike other pastries locations. read more

"Yeah...oh yeah. I can show you the world. Shining shimmering splendid. Tell me princess now when did you last let your heart decide..." - Nick & Jessica (Aladdin) Can you believe Nick Lachey is pushing 50? Um when did that happen? Time surely flies. I've been a fan of Sheng Kee from way back in the day. This is pre-Yelp, so I'm going back well over a decade ago, when Sheng Kee monopolized the modern Chinese bakery market in San Francisco. I'm getting hella old! Sheng Kee has sprung up all over the Bay Area in the past decade. I recall the one in the Outer Sunset very well because I used to live just three blocks away when Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were still a hot item. Speaking of hot item: Cocktail bun... get it while it's still warm & soft... you're welcome! Today, I'm a regular at this location at Westlake in Daly City. In fact, this particular location is so much better than the one's way back when. High ceilings, roomier for easy social distancing, cleanliness seems to be premium. BTS music up above. And of course the buns and bakery items are so fresh! My go-to is still the warm Cocktail buns. Occasionally I'll pickup a BBQ Pork bun, Curry bun, and other sweet or savory yums. They also serve Peet's coffee and if it's morning I'll always get a cup, one size and for only a tad over $2. All the buns are about $2 each as well. All individually wrapped to prevent cross-contamination. Just note that credit cards are accepted if over $10, or cash only. In the end, I recommend the Sheng Kee at Westlake since I'm a regular here. I prefer it over 85c bakery and all those other newer bakeries that have popped up over the years. They also sell Cakes, Cookies, Breads, Boba Teas, etc. I'm in and out 5-minutes tops just like my Boy Band days lol. Back in my car enjoying my Cocktail bun & Jessica S... read more
