Whenever my family visits UC Berkeley, they insist on a breakfast of Chinese buns from Sheng Kee Bakery, less than a block away from campus on Telegraph Avenue. We usually go for the custard or red bean buns. We have also had the bbq pork buns and moon cakes. They have a wide variety of Chinese buns and we have only tried a small fraction of them. However, all of the buns we have purchased have been very tasty. You start off by taking a plastic tray, a wax paper to place between the tray and the buns, and a plastic tongs. Then you walk the down aisle of self serve bun bins and place which ever buns you want on to your tray.. You take your tray to the cashier who places each bun individually in a plastic bag and rings up your purchase. I highly recommend giving this Chinese bakery a try. read more

After waiting months and months, Sheng Kee is finally open! Ever since being not so impressed with UCafe, I've been counting on Sheng Kee to top their offerings since these two are the only Asian bakeries around campus. Over the weekend, they gave away free bread and milk tea as a preview opening, but unfortunately when I went, they had already stopped :( The interior is very clean and organized, with self-serve trays and tongs for people to carry their pastries around. There is no seating though so you'll have to eat elsewhere. The employees are friendly, but since everyone is still being trained, they were a little confused when ringing me up because they hadn't memorized all the prices yet. What I tried (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sheng-kee-bakery-berkeley?select=wu1YJht2WDs1v5uZYxbzww#bkKsm9EiBT6Q5QSuYFbD2g): - Green tea mochi pastry ($1.89) - Date pastry (1.99) I love green tea and mochi, so when I saw them combined into a pastry, I picked it up right away! This one is kind of like a croissant, with a soft flaky outside and a few slivered almonds, and then a chewy inside due to the mochi's texture. It was actually pretty big and definitely delicious! The date pastry is one of my favorite things to get at Sheng Kee because my grandparents used to buy them for me when I was little. It might be due to nostalgia, but it is really yummy regardless. Even if you don't think you like dates (I don't in their normal form), you should try the date pastry because it might change your mind! I can foresee myself grabbing a snack here pretty often and spending more time at the gym! read more

I'm so glad Sheng Kee is back! Their egg tarts are wonderful (especially the Portuguese type), and while I can no longer really eat them while walking down the street, they're even better after popping them into the toaster for a minute or two at home. They have great deal on boba, too! Updates now that they've reopened: Everything is now wrapped individually read more

The buns at Sheng Kee remind me of friends that I haven't seen in a decade and then encounter at a high school reunion: familiar folks who have matured with new features, making them appear different from when you had previously known them. I can still recognize that traditional pineapple bun sitting on the shelf, but now it's clothed with chocolate and occasionally taro. I bet that even if you shopped at Sheng Kee every day, you would still find something new to try every visit. But I digress - let me introduce you to some of my dear friends here at Sheng Kee. - GARLIC BREAD (the decent looking friend that suddenly slimmed down and became a supermodel): as an aficionado of all things garlic, I can never get enough garlic bread. This is what enables me to say that Sheng Kee's garlic bread is one of the best I've ever tasted. It's crispy on the outside and super moist on the inside, making me unable to take my eyes and hands off of this little treat every time I come to Sheng Kee. (And who thought of making it rectangular shaped? It's the perfect form to hold in one hand and nom on while walking to class without getting a garlicky mess all over your face. Pure genius.) - PORTUGUESE EGG TART (the juvenile delinquent who invented Tartbook in college and became a bajillionaire): the first time I tried an egg tart at Sheng Kee, I was sorely disappointed. The crust was stuck to the sides of the tin, and I literally had to eat it with a spoon. I decided to give it another try, and it was the most pleasant surprise! Not only did the crust come off easily, the tart was also super flaky (which earns an A+ in my book). These egg tarts deserve three cheers for how well they've turned out. Hip hip hooray! - TARO BUN aka Purple Romance (the guy/girl next door who you've always loved and will always love because they're so gosh darn sweet): you can never go wrong with a taro bun at Sheng Kee. The flaky crust on the outside provides just the right amount of sweetness to complement the taro filling on the inside. And when it's served warm (as it usually is at 9am), it's the best part of a complete breakfast that anypony could wish for. This one doesn't really count, but you should know about it anyway: - TIGER MILK TEA (the newborn baby of that couple who have been dating since forever): it was bound to happen... Thai tea + milk tea = tiger milk tea. As two of my favorite flavors, I thought that the combination was bound to be good, but this is one exception to the gestalt principle, "the total is greater than the sum of its parts". Tiger milk tea honestly tastes like diluted Thai tea - you'd be way better off getting either milk tea or Thai tea. read more

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH I've tried a lotttt of different pastries here, but that pastry is SO GOOD. I buy one whenever I walk past Sheng Kee on Telegraph if the line inside isn't too long. My roommates can testify that I eat at least two Sheng Kee pastries a day. It's just so cheap and good (perfect for college students on a tight budget)... too hard to resist. I've been trying to avoid walking on Telegraph, but I highly encourage you to try the blueberry cream cheese danish! The croissant part is so yummy, and there's a little bit of the blueberry inside (so you can eat it even if you're not a fan of blueberry)! Boba is whatever. It's seriously all about the blueberry cream cheese danish. Shoutout to the Japanese cheesecake. I've been looking all over for Japanese cheesecake because of my recent craving for it. The one here is okay, but better than nothing! YAAAY! BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE DANISH read more

This place is amazing! I am so glad I graduated or else I'd be coming here everyday buying heavy carb/sugar snacks in between my classes. My favorite is the chocolate pineapple bun. It is the most amazing bread they have here. In fact I don't think I've tried anything else here except that cause I've never seen this chocolate bun in any other sheng kee bakery before because i think it's a fairly recent addition. So back to the chocolate pineapple bun! It's a round bun with a chocolate cookie dough sort of topping spread over the top with sugar sprinkled on top of the chocolate cookie dough. Inside there is so much chocolate stuffing. If you're lucky you might come when this bun is freshly baked and the chocolate on the inside is gooey and melty, but if you buy it when it's already cooled off, the chocolate inside hardens and it's as if you're eating a chocolate bar inside your bread. I also like how this place opens really early! I came by around 8 on a Sunday morning and they had tons of freshly baked breads already placed outside. Only downside is the long lines (they should find a more efficient way to serve people because they wrap the breads into the plastic bags at the register which takes up a lot of time) and their milk tea is pretty bad. I ordered the regular milk tea and didn't like it at all. So I would skip the drinks and just get the chocolate bun! read more

I come here when I visit my son who lives in the area, but I'd probably make the drive all the way from where I live in Sacramento either way. So many choices and every thing I've tried is delicious. Good prices. Only con is parking, which is street and being a block from the campus, its impossible. So plan for a walk, but so worth it. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery - Box of good stuff - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

Prices are cheap, and both bread and drink are abundant! Quality is not bad for the pricing here - since it's a Taiwanese bakery, it reminds me of the one I have back home and I occasionally like to stop by to make a quick lunch out of their cheap sandwiches and breads. The drinks are pretty okay, just what you would expect for the prices. Not super quality ingredients, but honestly I'm here to fill my stomach with a cheap budget! There's no seating, so it's really very much a grab and go type of place. They also sell Taiwanese tea eggs which always smell amazing when I walk in! Service is pretty quick and standard, usually staffed by fellow Cal students. Great place to grab food at if you want something cheap and filling but don't want to break the bank! read more

Excellent drinks at a reasonable price, HOWEVER, this is all lost due to horrible customer service. The cashier I was served by was extremely irritable and annoyed. She spoke very quietly through her mask and got irritated when I asked her to repeat what she said. She also made a huge fuss over the straws when I took them. Because I was sharing my drinks with many friends, i needed many straws but the cashier saw the straws and reached her hand into my bag to yank them out. I felt very disrespected and unvalued as a customer. I will be avoiding this store and will let all of my friends know to avoid this store. I hope their business fails and has to shut down due to such horrible customer service. This is a shame because their drinks and pastries are quite decent. read more

I love this bakery so much. It has arguably one of the best and cheapest milk teas in Berkeley. Definitely recommend.

What I ate: Patries, all kinds. Visit date: May 13, 2015 First time? No. I've had many a pastry here at Sheng Kee. I enjoy the savory ones the most. The pizza bun bread is slightly sweet, the vegetables tender, and the meat nice and salty. From the sweet buns, my top picks are the pineapple and the pineapple chocolate buns. Both just slightly sweet. I wish they made mini versions of their buns, but I'm definitely not complaining about the size. Also delightful are the meat pastries in the hot box. The crusts are flakey and the insides warm. There is $10 minimum credit card purchase but that's super easy to meet! Just grab a tray and get to filling it. read more

Sheng Kee is a fun experience. This location is in South Berkeley, so you'll have to park and walk a few minutes. You walk in. They have some beverages in a refrigerator. You can grab a tray and some tongs, and find whatever you like. They have sweet baked items like a red bean bun or a chocolate roll. They have savory items with ham, cheese, hot dog, etc. I've tried a few items. They're tasty, but the baked bread items are saturated in butter :( That's a huge turn off for me. They have some cake rolls in a refrigerated display as you're heading to the cashier. They also have some cute decorated layered cakes for parties. They have boba. It's worth visiting to try, and up to you if you'd like to visit again! read more

Sheng Kee deserves a 4 star rating for price and variety alone. They have a plethora of sweet and savory treats that are well stocked throughout the day. They have egg tarts, roll cakes, green onion buns, hot dog buns, etc. Their cakes are pretty good; the fresh fruit cake is great, but I highly recommend skipping the tiramisu. They have some decent bubble tea options as well, not the greatest boba in the world, but definitely not the worst. Chubby cups are 2 for $5.00 which is amazing. I typically stick to the thai tea or the tiger milk tea. I would avoid the coffee here and just walk down the street to grab some. read more

It's been a while since Sheng Kee has opened. When the bakery first opened, boy was it packed. Not to the extent of 85C, of course. Nonetheless, it really stood as strong comparison to UCafe, which was offering lackluster pastries in comparison. Fast forward a year or more, and how have things changed. Currently, Sheng Kee does gain some traffic, but it's nowhere near the giant it has been. The hype for Asian pastries has died down, and it has some competition in Paris Baguette, though not necessarily directly due to location. So how are the pastries? For the most part solid. I will note that this location is not as good as some of the other locations, but I think that's ultimately a conquest of trying to satisfy a more diverse palate rather than the strictly Asian target market in Asian strip malls. But honestly, I don't think the milk tea is all that great. Or rather, it suffers from significant competition in the nearby locale, what with the opening of Sharetea. It makes Sheng Kee all the more difficult of a place to frequent in terms of boba. Sharetea has taken the location, and Purple Kow has taken the chubby cup. So now what? What really gripes me about Sheng Kee is their credit card minimum. Sure, if you're buying from an Asian bakery, it really isn't hard to spend more than $5. But for a quick breakfast? A milk tea in a chubby cup and a pastry doesn't even net me $5. Rather, it results in a sub-$4.50 total that they won't even take a card for? Most places enforce this to prevent people from just buying a drink, but when you can't even get the core competency of what a Sheng Kee so close to campus can take advantage of, you're doing it wrong. TIP: Chocolate moon bun is a personal favorite of mine! read more

So I pretty much ran inside of the store because it was 9:55 PM and Yelp listed Sheng Kee's closing time as 10 PM. Wrong! The cashier said that Yelp seems to be inaccurate with their store hours but that they actually close at 11 PM (at least on Tuesday night when I went). I had a hot dog croissant-type bread and a jasmine green milk tea (not on menu but I guess it's like a "secret menu" item according to the cashier). My boyfriend had the taro milk tea with boba. The food and drinks were pretty tasty. Nothing mind-blowing, but pretty good... and their cups are HUGE. I also like how they have a large selection of baked items and how they are conveniently opened late. I also like their cute logo. Hahah Just something to note: They don't have anywhere to sit inside, so this is really a grab-and-go kind of place. Durant Food Court is around the corner though, so you can always bring your food to the benches over there. Or... if it's too sketch, you can eat on campus haha VERDICT Pretty tasty food/drinks, large selection, bucket-sized cups, open late, but no seating. 4 stars! read more

As an Asian bakery that is a stone's throw from the edge of campus, Sheng Kee is a great grab-and-go option for picking up bread/buns, sandwiches, cakes, and drinks in between or on the way to class. The service is also excellent, efficient, and helpful, as well! The bread is very inexpensive, and you can easily have lunch for under $10 by buying different ones. Sheng Kee is also a popular destination for cakes! My favorites are the Mango Mousse Cake and the Black Forest Mousse Cake. Like other Asian bakeries, the store is lined with a variety of baked goods that you can choose from using a tray and tongs. It does get a bit cramped during peak hours as the pathways are narrow, and somewhat awkward if you are farther down the path and want to double back for something when there are people behind you. In terms of savory goods, my go-to choices are the BBQ Bun, the Shredded Pork Bun, the Chicken Pie, and the Hot Dog Cheese Bun. I'd avoid the Garlic Bread (very difficult to chew). In terms of sweet goods, I would recommend the H.K Pineapple Bun (flaky and not too sweet) and the Chocolate Cream Bun. They also sell tea eggs that stew for hours -- I usually get one or two along with the bread for a quick lunch! read more

Tasty Chinese pastries and buns. I am definitely a fan of this franchise. All of the savory and sweet items I have tried has been pretty good. You might not get the best version of each particular item, but the variety and the cheap prices make it totally worth it. I enjoy their pork sung and green onion buns. A takeout box is perfect for a picnic, as snacks for a meeting, or late-night eats. read more

I have been waiting for this shop to open since the Fall semester. Sheng Kee joined forces with Peets Coffee, locally owned coffee shop originated in Berkeley. Sheng Kee is always packed with hungry students scrambling to get their snack before going to class, etc. It is surprisingly fast too, you don't have to wait in line that long because they would open up more station as it gets busier. This store has great selection of Asian pastries, buns, ranging from mini lunch sandwich for 1.99$, banh mi, and BBQ pork buns. Everything in this store is under $2, which makes it very affordable for college students. I do wish that they expand to the Adidas store so students can hang out or do homework at this cafe. Congrats on opening up the first bakery shop in Berkeley, Sheng Kee!! This store accepts AMEX, Visa, and Mastercard. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery - Store hours - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

After dropping off my Amazon packages at the UC Berkeley Amazon Center, I decided to continue on with a stroll around Telegraph with my son. It was his birthday. So I wanted to treat him to something sweet & yummy! I had been to this bakery before in Richmond so I was familiar with what they typically had inside. There was a fair amount of pastries out. I think the one by Ranch 99 has a bit more sweets than they had specially on the day I went. Not sure how it is on other days when they're busier. I was the only customer at the time. Nonetheless, I grabbed three pastries to good. They were pretty good and we enjoyed them :) read more

Sheng Kee Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

Atmosphere: Warm and toasty and cozy when there's not many people...but that's not too often since this place is always crowded with hungry students! Otherwise, this is lively and still just as awesome! :) Service: Self-serve so you don't feel rushed and you have so many awesome options to choose from! Cashiers are on top of their feet most of the time! Fast and efficient service! :) Food: - Canaan (buttered toast) or almond canaan!! This is my favorite bread here & I'm obsessed. :) - Almond croissant...omg this thing is pure heaven. So buttery and sweet. Yummm. - Chocolate Moon Shape: Chocolate sprinkles on top and filled with chocolate. It is soooooooooooooooo freakin' goooooooooood! Favorite chocolate bread here! :) - Green mousse: So creamy and sweet. Perfect with some unsweetened tea. - Chocolate custard bun: This bread is sin. Pure sin. It is just covered with a thick layer of chocolate and stuffed to the max with sweet creamy custard. One bite of this and I'm good because it's very decadent and rich. - Hot dog & cheese bun: YUM! With all the sweet stuff, you gotta have something to counteract right? Well, this is the perfect savory counterpart. Eaten best when heated! - Purple romance: This is a cute oval-shaped bun filled with taro. I wish the taro filling was bit sweeter. It tasted a bit bland for me. Maybe if I drank it with some sweet soy milk or dipped it in sweetened hot tea it would have taste better. Price: ~$1/bread & $2.99 boba drinks! Tip: - Try the canaan or almond canaan when it's fresh!! - Always has some kind of promotion going on. It's great motivation to try something new every week! :) Conclusion: I love this place because, not only does it taste good, but there's so many things to pick, choose and try! Will definitely be back again and again. Another major perk is that this place is conveniently located right next to campus! :D read more

Walking around Berkeley on a Sunday morning at 10 am, there was not many places open. As my friend and I walked around, we bumped into Sheng Kee Bakery. Since I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, my friend insisted I walk in to grab something to eat. When you enter, you will see freshly baked pastries behind plastic-glass doors. Hungry? Grab a tray, add a piece of paper on it, and grab a tong! As you walk down the little pathway, you will see many types of pastries including pineapple buns and egg tarts! I came in 2-3 hours after opening and got a HK style pineapple bun and a hot dog bun. I wasn't satisfied because it wasn't warm nor did it taste very fresh. Didn't hit the spot as compared to other bakeries I've been to. Expected more because of it's a bit pricier compared to other places. I wish they would warm it up a bit when you go to the counter. Cash only if it's under $5. Minimum purchase for credit cards is $5. Thankfully my friend had cash and paid for me. read more

Well, while I don't live close by, I do enjoy getting some baked goods from Sheng Kee. I prefer these guys over 85C. However, I usually go to the other location in Berkeley. I found out that place close earlier and this location closes at midnight so I came by here at 10pm. I have to say, you won't get what you want this late. You get leftovers without any discounts. I don't like to complaint but I was just able to get the buns that were available that looks decent. They included: BBQ bun Red Bean bun Taro Bun They were all okay. All were a little dry except for the BBQ bun. I would like to come here one of these days earlier so I can get a fair assessment of their products. read more

Some useful tips I've learned through multiple times dropping by Sheng Kee on the way to class: -They start serving milk tea around 10am -They don't have boba until around 11am -All of their milk tea is really sweet IMO. I ask for half sugar and they dilute it 2-fold with water, which according to my Asian clever bargain-hunting mindset is a ripoff ("wun bun" in Canto, to be more exact), but it suits my tastes a lot better. You can still taste the tea-ness and it contains enough caffeine to send me off to a productive day at the library. -It gets busy, but the line moves fairly quickly. The people working there are pretty friendly and efficient -They serve Peet's but it's overpriced. Never will I understand why people go to Sheng Kee for coffee when there are like 4 real Peet's on/surrounding campus read more

Whenever I pass this place on my way to school, the smell of their freshly baked bread just beckons me to enter this quaint little store. The pastries here are always fresh and very delicious if your looking for something cheap that will fill you up! The egg tarts here are very good. Things to get: -Egg tarts -Ham and Cheese anything -Red Bean Bun -Anything savory -Milk Tea. Even though the milk tea here is probably the best you will be able to get in the area, its nowhere near good. Its "ok" Toppings are free so ask for them! -Tiger Milk Tea: This has a fairly unique taste to it, definitely try it if your having trouble deciding between milk tea and thai tea! My only gripe on this is their cash only policy. They are not flexible at all with their policy. Apparently you need to order over 5 dollars to use a card and my items rang up at 4.25. The cashier refused to charge me my items and said that I needed to go find an ATM elsewhere. Note to owner: If this is the case, kindly let the customer know and allow them to use their card anyway. Chances are, they will tip you the extra cost of your card transaction. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery - Grass fairy - Bakeries Near Me - Berkeley, California

This place is AWESOME! I have never seen anything quite like it inside the US, but I am sure there are a few of these around. Regardless, this place is more than just a straight up bakery. What i really like is the little windows that let you see all the different creations. Some savory, some sweet, but all baked. Most cost between $1 and $3. Every thing from pork buns to creme filled sweet rolls. This would have been where I would have ate every day if I was went to Cal. Sitting only half a block from the campus, the place was crawling with students. There were some more adventurous options (one i really wanted to try had dried flaky pork covering the whole top of the roll), and standard options like ham and cheese filled pastries. I will have to come back and literally try everything on the menu! read more

Just went there got some mini cakes and a matcha latte. The new cashier somehow started charging toppings for non milk tea drink while I always had toppings for free even for latte. And for the 2 cakes I got, no spoon or fork was given. also, I ordered a drink with boba, the hole on the lead was not cut for the big straw, so many things went wrong in a simple breakfast shopping. Doesn't look like proper training was given. read more

Usually I love this place but last night I walked up to grab a something before closing! The lady working opened the door so I walked in but she said they are closing and that we must go, I told her I just walked all the way over here in the pouring rain and it's 10 minutes from closing time can I grab a donut? And she said we don't serve donuts and I said what ever and left. I love there donuts but jeez what a jerk I can't just grab on pay and go at 10:50 when they close at 11? read more

Forget the haters! Who doesn't love a great selection of Asian pastries available nearby? You have to got to support these institutions! This place has some great versions of the regulars (though not amazing blow your mind), as well as tons of unique takes. I love the airy beef cheese bun and the dirty bun, both unique takes that were well baked - not over cooked so as to be chewy! Go out and support. Yelp is somehow biased against fine establishments like this one. read more

Finally! I've been long awaiting a good bakery easily accessible in the UC Berkeley area. This is close to campus, so be sure to expect hoards of students. This has a great selection of baked goods, including: custard bun, walnut bread, mocha roll, and more. Peet's coffee is also available here. Price is a bit higher than the typical Sheng Kee Bakery, but still affordable (about $1-$3 per item). Give it a try if you are in the area. read more

I swung by here at around 9 AM last Saturday morning to pick up a birthday cake for a friend. There's no parking right in front when you're coming down Telegraph, so I turned left onto Bancroft and parked there. There were three employees prepping different things behind the counter, and they greeted me when I walked in. They had a wide variety of cakes already available (Tiramisu, Fresh Fruit & Cream, Hazelnut, etc.) and in different sizes, too (full round, smaller square cakes, etc.). Since it was shaping up to be a really warm day, I opted for the 6'' Fresh Fruit & Cream cake - $20.95. Sheng Kee's cakes are slightly cheaper than the ones at nearby Paris Baguette (by about $10), but I think they're just as good. The two bakeries, however, have different offerings when it comes to cakes (i.e. PB does a blueberry cake that SK doesn't have, and is REALLY good, and so I'd definitely splash out a little extra $ for a friend who loves blueberries). Also, PB offers you a disposable knife with candles and matches tucked away into it (see my photos for PB Berkeley), and I wasn't offered any of that at SK. In retrospect, though, I should have been the one to remember to ask. I love the bright orange and yellow SK boxes, and the way they tie it up in pastel pink ribbon. Definitely brought a smile to my friend's face, and all the ladies in our Women's Ministry group loved the cake, too! Thanks, SK! read more

Hello, Sheng Kee. We meet again. I've been to the Union City, Dublin and Fremont locations several times in the past for their pastries but this was my first time visiting for their milk teas. After a long day of gallivanting around Berkeley, my friends and I noticed everyone holding these ginormous cups of milk tea around Telegraph and had to track down the source of their joy. Finally, the trail ended at Sheng Kee, a brand spankin' new addition to the busy street. We were really attracted to the huge cups for some reason (oh, maybe because it was hot out) and opted to get one of each, three in total. For $2.99, our drinks came in what is known as a "chubby cup," a cruel invention to make you have to pee. Needless to say, we were greedy and got the largest option available, but next time, I think I'll stick to the regular sizes as it is really impossible (at least for me) to finish a drink of that size. I felt like I was drinking from one of those bizarrely huge daiquiri containers in Vegas or something. Anyway boys and girls, the moral of the story is don't be greedy and only bite off what you can chew. Still, for the cheap price, I wouldn't mind coming back to Sheng Kee again for some cool, refreshing boba! read more
