    Yellow egg tarts, portuguese egg tart, chicken pie
    Vivian T.

    Service was quick and efficient for a small bakery. Very casual pick up and go type of place. The egg tarts were ok but breads fell short. I'm not a big fan of the almost-shortcrust style shells for the yellow egg tart ($3 each) as it was a bit dry and crumbly; but, both the gelatinous filling and crust resembled dimsum cart egg tarts. I'd get this for the nostalgia, even though I prefer the creamy croissant style egg tarts. The portuguese egg tarts ($2.35 each) were smaller but had that layered, crispy, buttery shell. Its filling was also not as sweet and very rich. The chicken pie crust was hearty but also on the drier side, filled with ground chicken, carrots, peas. I tried three different sweet breads. The flavors didn't match the description (matcha, rose) and the wheat taro bread was incredibly dry. While I love small businesses, there are so many better options for asian breads and pastries in this area. Overall, I am unlikely to return but I would only get their portuguese egg tarts or try an egg white tart (they ran out at 4pm) if I were to come back!

    This bakery is really good I got the chocolate cake and a bread with corn in it. Service was good and the person working was helpful. Place is small but everything inside was good.

    It's a small bakery shop located in a busy plaza, and they sell variety choices of bread, cakes, and other pastry. I've tried their Cake Bread Bun (fine), Napoleon Crispy Cake (recommend), Hong Kong Egg Tart (recommend), and Egg White Tart (ok), generally okay quality, expect around $15 per order.

    An early morning with a craving for pastries and coffee led us to Simply Splendid. Arrived as they were just opening. They were still baking and slowly bringing out items so we didn't have all the menu options available to us. Lucky for us the Portuguese tarts were ready. Grabbed a couple of the tarts along with a couple other warm, fresh breads. Warmed up the tarts when we got home. They are not warm like the freshly baked bread items. But the flakey, creamy tarts paired well with our coffee. Would come back just for the tarts. Service was ok. They were very focused on phone calls and orders so I won't fault them for it. Coffee and teas were available but nothing hot. We were told them only had plastic cups so only had iced drinks. I am interested in trying the HK Style Coffee. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot when it's not too busy. Beware..once all the businesses are open, finding parking becomes a bit chaotic.

    10/2025 I wanted to enjoy this place but the red bean and sesame mochi was a huge let down. The skin is unbelieveably thick and certain bites, the flour was hard (assuming it wasn't kneaded thoroughly.) The sesame paste was decent but not great. Still can't believe the skin was THAT thick. I got the crispy napoleon: and the outside cake was fine and the crispy part wasn't that as crispy as I expected. The bolo custard bun was good; the ratio of the bun and custard was perfect and well balanced.

    I have a very specific weakness for egg tarts... and I can't believe I'm only learning that you can get a HK egg tart - with egg whites only!! Honestly, this whole discovery was purely accidental. Last Christmas my brother brought two dozen egg tarts to Famsgiving from Simply Splendid, 1 dozen HK egg tarts and 1 dozen Portuguese egg tarts. I was craving them and wanted to bring a few to a small party. I saw in their display they had HK egg white tarts and mentally thought, "that's interesting, the yolk is the best part! who would order an egg white tart?" and proceeded to order 3 HK egg tarts and 3 Portuguese egg tarts. I pulled out of the parking lot and wanted to crack the box open in case they were still a bit warm (to prevent any condensation from forming -- that's just me being extra; I just wanted to continue to waft in the wonderful smells, the tarts were only lightly warm still, no risk of condensation occurring) and that's when I saw that I had left with 3 HK egg WHITE tarts and not 3 HK egg tarts! Alas - I was running late already (always) so off we went. I was mentally preparing myself for disappointment, but was SO SURPRISED at how good the HK egg white tart was! Somehow, they managed to get all the best parts of the egg tart without egg yolks! It was lightly sweet and creamy and the pastry was light and flaky.

    Came for the Egg Tarts, left with some other goodies. My one small gripe is that the Egg Tarts aren't warm (sad face), but their flavors are so good especially the classic HK-dimsum style egg tarts! Flakey and eggy in the best ways, just warm them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them warm... Portuguese egg tarts weren't bad either, but I think I just like the classic egg tarts more. Their baked goodies were pretty good/standard. Parking is shared lot with the plaza of other restaurants and supermarket, so it can get crowded. We were told to try to finish all the baked goodies the day-of and to refrigerate whatever we didn't finish and try to finish the next day.

    This review is only for the egg tarts. They sell 3 different types: HK style egg tart, Portuguese egg tart, and egg white egg tart. I've tried all three and the only one that I go back for is the egg white egg tart. It is so different from all the other egg tarts and no one else makes them. The other two egg tarts are decent but not the best ones I've had. They also sell bakery items and cakes.

    I loveeeee when I stumble into a gem, and this was one of them! If you live in SGV, you know that this plaza can get packed! I came to order take out from a restaurant and parked right in front of this bakery. It's def not the biggest bakery but it has so much to offer. We got there a little later in the afternoon on a Saturday and they were out of so much stuff! Note to self: go earlier next time. Anyway, my partner ended up grabbing a few baked goods and I got a radish sesame pastry. I actually really liked the radish sesame pastry, it reminded me of a bao but with the flakey pastry dough and sesame seeds. Only thing I wish they did was had more signs up of what were in the case - I kept having to ask what things were haha but the person behind the counter answered all my questions (: I also just read in another review that they make the crispy cakes here and I cannnnnnottttt wait to come back/order one!

    All 3 kinds of egg tarts!

    I wanted to try out the egg tart selection. They were all delicious. I had previously thought the Portuguese egg tarts were my favorite but the HK style won me over more here. I was curious about the egg white tarts but it was really tasty. This place is a smaller bakery shop with good selection. The staff were nice and helpful.

    After seeing all over the raving egg tart reviews, I had to come here and give this place a try. The egg tarts were decent but I may have had too high of expectations for this place. I really wished that the egg tarts were warmed instead of it being served cold.

    I've only tried their egg tarts and I'm 50/50 about them, not the best I've had and not the worst. Could definitely be better. Inside has a modern feel to the bakery, parking is a little rough in this plaza during the weekends. Their Egg Tart filling was more on the gelatin texture side than I'd prefer. The crust was also not as flaky as I'd like, more solid like an American pie crust than buttery and flaky. Their Portuguese Tart was much better. If I had to grab some egg tarts from this bakery, I would skip the regular Egg Tart and order all Portuguese Tarts. Rich, creamy, eggy filling. The crust is much better as well.

    I was able to buy a lot of breads for $10, which my wife didn't believe me at first when I got home. Their breads are not bad at all.

    D'ange Bakery is an Asian bakery located on the corner of Mission x Main St. (that turns into Las…read moreTunas). There's a small parking lot in the back, but spaces can be hard to find and I ended up having to park on the street the first time I went. (FYI - they are going to open a Goomo tea shop on the corner in the same space!) D'ange has so many fun flavors of buns. I really liked the taro with mochi one. The only thing about the buns is that the fillings tend to be only on one side of the bun, so there are been times as I'm biting into the bun, I'm not getting any filling until the last couple bites. They even sell cookies and all different flavors of toast that would make some yummy brick toast desserts! And if you need a whole cake, they have them in the case ready to go too! The buns I got were great, as were the Portuguese egg tarts. They even sold Chinese tamales at my last visit, so I picked one up too. I don't know many places that sell these, and I used to eat them all the time when my grandma made them years ago, but now that no one in my family knows how to make them, it's a special treat if I can find it. They have ones with meat (with or without peanuts), and some with just the mung bean. They must be really know for this because 2 other parties ahead of me were buying tons of the tamales!

TGTG is an app that allows businesses to sell their leftover or flawed goods for a discounted price in a bundle of their choice. So you don't know what you get, BUT it reduces food waste (#sustainability) while being easier on your wallet. You pay a price they name and they give you the value they listed. The owner (I presume) handed us a prepackaged brown bag the moment we got there. It wasn't busy at all so the whole transaction was under 5 minutes. It's a mom & pop Asian bakery that's spacious and warm. Our surprise bag contained 7 mini breads: black sesame mochi, red sesame mochi, taro bun with filling, hot dog cheese bread, buo luo bao, ham + cheese bun, and another bread I couldn't quite identify. This is $21 value for $6.99 is what we paid. After heating them up, they tasted almost like fresh so we can't complain. However, I would say these days $3 would get you bigger buns at other similar bakeries, but their fillings were very generous, so it's hard to say. Parking has spots designated to the bakery so look out for the signs.

This particular location though, could use some work with consistency. The selection and quality of pastries and drinks seem to vary throughout my many visits. My top pastries are all of their croissant-like pastries, especially the Pastry Frank (filled with a savory sausage inside) and Mini Strawberry Lemon Cream Croissant (filled with a smooth and tangy lemon cream and fresh strawberries that add a tartness). Both of these have flaky, buttery exterior shells that are wonderful to bite into. For cakes, I love the strawberry soft cream cake. This cake is simple, light, and not too sweet. The thin layers of vanilla, soft cream, and strawberries blend excellently together. I appreciate that they provide free candles with whole cakes. An underrated cake is the green tea roll cake, which is delicious, but not ideal for celebrations.
