Late review. I had received a passion fruit mousse cake from here. I was excited to try it cause I am a fan of mousse cakes. The cake looked delicious and decorated nicely. It was a little too tart. I was hoping a balance mix of sweet and tart. But still it was good. read more

Portuguese egg tarts and taro bun are my favs but you can't go wrong with anything here! Baked fresh and always consistent. Great place to stop for a little treat or to bring to friends! read more

A cute lil Asian bakery. I've been to a handful of these and this one is pretty standard. A great spot to grab and go some Asian baked goods. They have the trays and tongs where you can pick some stuff up. Once you're done, you can go into the line to pay and there are a bit more things you can choose from. We were excited to order some of the cream puffs that they had for a special price but unfortunately, they didn't have any when we got there. I love savory pastries so we got a couple of those plus some sweet ones, perfect for our mini road trip the next day. A great spot to stop by and pick up some bites. read more

Fresh pastries and good cake that is not overly sweet. Most of the time pastries are in stock. I like that their breads are fresh. My kids love their flan. Cakes are always a hit from this bakery. read more

Pretty standard Asian bakery. I stopped by to pick up some pastries to bring to my friend's home Saturday evening around 6 pm. I was afraid the selection wouldn't be great because it was so late in the day, but I was pleasantly surprised that plenty of buns were still available. I got: Vanilla sponge roll ($9.99) Bag of pineapple cakes ($6.40) Pineapple custard bun ($2.50) Custard brioche bun ($2.09) Red bean bun ($2.19) Paper cup cake ($2.20) I didn't get a chance to try everything, but most of what I did try were just okay but nothing amazing. The sponge roll was on the dry side imo, and I found the pineapple cake dry too. I prefer the pineapple cakes I can get at the grocery store. Probably my favorite of everything I tried was the red bean bun, as they put plenty of red bean paste in the filling and it really hit the spot. Both custard buns were again okay but light on the custard. read more

Quality/Quantity - Okay, time for an update. I/we have gotten over the first review with poor service; well almost over, lol. This is our go-to location for pastry snacks, mainly for convenience. And they make good travel snacks. I like the fact that you have weekly specials, see pictures. We get random snacks/pastries every time we are here, but almost always get an egg tart or two; my daughter's favorite. Not a favorite from here, but her favorite pastry is egg tarts. Atmosphere - Small to-go bakery. Counter seating, that I have never seen anyone use. I think the city of SL might have made them put that in, but then where is the public restroom...? Plenty of mall parking, hence the convenience. Plus I am here often shopping the other businesses, New Sang Chong Market, Poke Star, Mings Donuts, Baby Cafe, etc. Service - Counter service. The team can STILL be much more friendly. Price - Reasonable; but again, we are paying for convenience. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1948 with Grandpa & Grandma Kao from Taiwan and serving the Bay Area since 1978. We have been shopping since you opened your store in SF in 1981. read more

Nice bakery items + cake especially if you're already in the area! I will confess that I prefer the taste/flavor profile of another bakery in San Leandro--the items here are really hit or miss depending on the day. read more

Chinese bakery with items reasonable priced in comparison to Chinatown and other Asian bakeries (Paris Baugette, 85 Degree, and Tous les Jous). The individual wrapped items and cakes are consider your standards as these have been the basics the last several decades. I've tried other Korean bakeries and the only one that I can say is better than Sheng Kee is Paris Baugette but their prices are a like 30% higher. read more

I love going here for chinese baked goods. This store is a chain and has other locations around the bay area. I usually come after work but they are open early in the morning as well. Alot of the options are limited since they are closing but they always have my custard and pineapple buns there. I think the price is fair and worth it. Parking is easy since they are in a shopping plaza. I would recommed checking them out if you are in needed of pastries, cakes or even coffee or tea. read more

I'm glad I stumbled upon this place! I was looking for tea and looked up the closest place to me and found this bakery. They are so reasonably priced compared to a lot of these types of bakeries. They don't have many hot options but the HK hot tea was good and we had the pineapple bread and that was delish! I'll go back to try their iced boba tea. read more

Large bakery with extensive options. I like their cakes and buns. The food tastes fresh.

We love this place and was so happy to see it much closer by in San Leandro! Used to drive out from Alameda to the Albany or Union City locations. Been to new location already many times and most recently bought a strawberry mousse cake for my younger son's birthday, a tiramisu cake for older son's birthday, and a 1/2 sheet fruit cake today for the older son's graduation celebration ! So light and not too sweet and fluffy and fresh and delicious! Friends who'd never had Chinese cake came back for seconds and thirds! Always great service and delicious fun food and cute place in excellent location. read more

I first noticed Sheng Kee Bakery several months ago, but I did not drop in. Thankfully, my sister recommended we go by there after we finished shopping at the Asian grocery store nearby. It is a small Taiwanese bakery which reminds me of 85C Bakery. Grab a tray and tongs because you are going to need them. We purchased an assortment of goodies. My favorite items were the two different egg tarts. Yummy!! You are sure to find something that you want. I look forward to trying more of what they have to offer. Those cakes look delicious. Safe to say that this bakery will be part of our regular itinerary whenever we go shopping next door. read more

The pastries are pretty good, but not sure about the coffee. They have a Peet's coffee sign up on the wall. I ordered an ice Americano, but it tastes nothing like the real Peet's coffee. I should know because I go to regular Peet's coffee shop about five days a week. read more

It's so difficult to have their cocktail buns to be stocked on time. They open at 7:30am, I usually get there 15 min after 9am, half of the stuff is not even out..that's really inconvenient for customers if you can't get stuff in stock at 1.5 hours after opening. The prices are about the same as 85. They should really work on getting their inventories ready in a timely manner. People have things to do can't sit around and wait for you guys to restock. read more

3.5 stars, located in the Marina Faire shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Sheng kee is mostly a takeout venue with a small counter with 3 bar stool seats if you want to sit and eat/drink what you ordered. Small yet tidy shop with a solid selection of baked goods and under a handful of drinks. Comparable to other similar bakeries like 85 degrees, yet I am not sure if they have a membership club where you earn points and coupon bonuses for every purchase. Overall, most of the pastries I've tried are decent. Though I am partial and prefer 85 Degrees more for the flavor and slightly better selection and pricing than Shengkee. Convenient to stop in for dessert and bakery snacks after grocery shopping at New Sang Chong grocery, or after eating lunch at one of the restaurants in the same plaza. Today I bought: Danish fruit boat $2.99, mini hot dog bites $3.75, HK hot milk tea $2.75, Green tea mini mousse cake bite $2.85, and a Pork sung/floss bun $2.35. read more

"Sheng Kee Bakery" is located in the Marina Faire shopping center in San Leandro, CA. This shopping center is at the crossroads of Doolittle Drive & Fairway Drive, and down the street from Kaiser Hospital @ San Leandro. This is a small store, with all the assorted baked goods and decorated cakes. They also serve coffee, tea, and milk tea. There's no "sit down" cafe area. There's a standing bar for customers to enjoy their drinks and snacks. I was there on a Saturday evening at 6pm. Sheng Kee is in the same small building as the Subway and Round Table Pizza. Free Parking in lot. As you enter, they will have the familiar tray and tongs. All baked goods are packaged. I looked over the decorated cakes, and thought they were a bit pricey. When it was time to pay, I stepped up to the counter and an older lady helped me. She didn't seem to speak fluent English, but knew enough to give me the total and point to my credit card and smile. Everything was bagged up and I was on my way. It's nice that Sheng Kee is just a bit closer to my home. read more

This five star review is specifically for their cake. I love that they have cakes readily available without preordering. I was a bit disappointed that there is no room for writing but when I cashed out, the cashier gave me a cute little "happy birthday" topper and offered me settings which included plates, forks, and candles! It's a one stop shop for any special event. Highly recommend getting your cakes here. And the cake was absolutely delicious, fluffy & not overly sweet! read more

So excited there's a Sheng Kee Bakery so close to home! Out of all the self-serve Asian bakery chains, Sheng Kee has to be my favorite and it's what I grew up on. They serve all your classic pastries and the quality I feel is pretty consistent. One stand out was the butterfly cookie, which I was was pleasantly surprised by how flakey it was, like it was just baked from the oven. The shop is small, but it's for a quick grab-n-go ordeal. There's a long bar table at the entrance of the store, but it's not much of a seating area. The only thing knocking this review of one star is the Hong Kong style milk tea. It did not hit the spot and was lacking the richness and creaminess of a real HK milk tea. It was fairly cheap, so I wasn't too sad about it. read more

My favorite bakery for pastries and cakes. I love that their cakes are not too sweet and are perfect for sharing. Since I tried their cakes, I've been eager to taste all the flavors. Their selection of pastries, from sweet to savory, is also great for snacks, quick treats, or gifts for someone. read more

I go to this bakery frequently sometimes going to their Union City location. A wide variety of pastries,baked goods,and other foods. They have coffee and a wide variety of tea. My favorite is the slightly sugared jasmine tea with mango jelly. read more

This Sheng Kee is in the Marina Faire plaza. This plaza gets pretty busy and packed, especially on the weekends because of the market and many eateries / restaurants here, so parking may be hit or miss depending on when you stop by. Not much service, this is mainly a self-service spot, if you want breads; buns; pastries; etc., then just grab a tray and a set of tongs to pick your choices and bring it to the counter to pay. They also have drinks available, coffee and boba drinks - fruit and milk teas. Honestly, I came here for a grass jelly milk tea, but I guess they had taken it off their menu. I opted for their Classic Milk Tea with boba - I ordered it with 50% sweetness and the drink was still overly sweet. They also do not have the big chubby / jumbo boba cups like I had at their other locations. Overall, it was a decent milk tea, but I would not get it again - just nice to try it one time at this new location. read more

We usually love this place, but when we brought back the Black Forest cake, it turned out with icy, crunchy filling. Flavor was still good and decoration was beautiful as always but was definitely a little disappointed by the texture of the inside-- made it taste more like an ice cream cake?? Hopefully was just a one-off experience, because this is one of the best bakeries in the area read more

First time buying since its opening. They always have promotion going on. This week, mini square mouse is on promotion: buy 4 for $9.50. I went to purchase some pastries for work. The bread isn't as puffy and soft as the Daly City location. The chocolate which covered the bread was very little and so the cream. I might do a little commute and satisfy my taste bud. Haven't tried the cake at this location. Maybe next time. Nice and clean facility. Closed to market and full with parking lot in the plaza. Service is ok. No greeting. read more

I love that they opened a new Sheng Kee Bakery in San Leandro. The sponge cakes are AMAZING and the eggs tarts are SO GOOD. I love that the pastries aren't too sweet and how soft the bread is. The pastries are all so delicious and nostalgic especially for my husband who is Chinese. I wish the line was shorter since only one person is working the cashier but definitely one of my favorite places to get pastries. read more

Unsure about why the many 3 star reviews when there were no negative points being made.. We came at the end of the day so they didn't have many of the other pastries as expected. Came in to purchase a cake and they had a decent selection still out. They also provided a pack of plates, candles and a happy birthday sign! The ladies working were friendly and tried their best to communicate in English. They are still new so probably still trying to get their bearings. Glad there's a close Sheng Kee to my family's place now! read more

I love how this plaza has a bakery now! My parents frequent this shopping plaza to buy groceries and pastries to avoid shopping at Oakland Chinatown. Upon arrival, there are trays and tongs for you to grab your favorite Chinese pastries. The store is clean and all the pastries are wrapped individually so you don't have to worry about other people's germs on your baos. I came here on a Sunday night before closing so they didn't have a wide selection as they normally do. The parking lot is huge so you can always find a spot to park. The aunties working here are friendly. Note: Minimum card payment is $10. They also have Apple Pay now. read more

I came here because my bread consumption is only half due to the UEFA football. The Sheng Kee bread though in the rank of supermarket bread (chemical bread that can last for more than a week), their texture is so MUCH MUCH BETTER. I bought a loaf & a few buns. The cashier wanted me to buy more to make up for their $10 credit card limit. Sorry, I don't carry cash. I don't even have a wallet & ATM card for over 10 years. I walked away & drove over to another market. I'm pretty sympathetic to the untraceable aspect of cash. Yet, I also need a traceable transaction for my 2% cash back. Credit card spendings are far more controllable than cash. I have never over spent on my credit card; but I did over spend my cash, twice! After the game I will simply return to Andersen, as well as 85°C Bakery. read more

Sheng Kee Bakery - To use credit card you need to spend $10 or more on breads. Cash is non traceable. - Taiwanese Near Me - San Leandro, California

The bread is delicious, one of the best breads I've ever tried, unfortunately the taro tea drink I ordered was lacking in flavor.

They cheat their stamps promo, do not fall for that. They can't even explain it clearly.

The ladies that work here are always super helpful and kind whenever I've visited. Glad to finally have a decent Asian bakery in the area. We ordered a plain red/white half sheet cake with fresh fruit. It was a reasonably priced compared to other bakeries. Decorations was DIY which came out as we envisioned for a fraction of the cost. Cake was moist and delicious. Everyone enjoyed it at the party. Will order again! read more

Sheng Kee is now in San Leandro (same plaza as New Sang Chong, replaced the Mexican restaurant). Came in on a weekday at around 5pm so I anticipated there will be things sold out (which was true). The store front isn't that big, but there are a variety of baked breads and desserts, including whole fruit cakes. There are trays and tongs for you to pick up the breads, but everything is already individually packaged. I ordered a few buns including pineapple bun, cream bun, and some small cakes. The buns were pretty soft. I liked the mango mousse cake, but I'd pass on the green tea cake. Everything was alright but nothing mindblowing. It's nice to have Sheng Kee as another staple for Asian baked goods in SL. read more
