Love this place! Pastries are authentic and staffs are super nice to me! I told her that I was coming from New Orleans, and she suggested do many things to help me keep the pastries fresh. read more

Six Ping Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm only a fan for certain products that they have. But the majority of the items they offer is just.. mediocre? Whenever I bite into their bread, it feels like I'm eating something that's meant for a long shelf life. It doesn't taste as fresh as it could be, and it taste mass produced for a small bakery down in Chinatown. Although many of their products taste like that, I do think that there are some that are worth trying (like some of their less sweet pastries). read more

There a couple Chinese bakeries around town, but I really like this one. We always come here randomly, and I have not been disappointed in any of their baked buns. We have tried many different ones, and my favorite ones are the ones that have taro, mayo and pork sung, green onions in them. Everything that were have gotten from there all seem freshly made, soft, and fluffy! What's even better is that all of them are cheap! We ordered maybe 5 items last time, and it came out to $5. I am not a big fan of Asian baked sweets...I am more into the savory baked goods. I believe this place is cash only (like many places in Chinatown). The people there are very friendly, and they speak English and Chinese. The location of this place is in between some restaurants in the middle of the shopping strip, so it might be a little difficult to find. read more

This place is extremely small, but it has a really great variety of chinese pastries. The hardest part for me is deciding what to choose because they all look and taste so yummy. What sets this place apart from most chinese bakeries in houston is the freshness of the pastries. I think they achieve this by having high turnover on their pastry inventory. read more

Frankly, I was disappointed by my trip to Six Ping. Wanting to find an alternative to Classic Kitchen, I took my parents here to try the Taiwanese breakfast. Though they do offer some different menu items than CK--thread rolls, peanut rice milk, sticky rice, and of course, the Six Ping bread, I still prefer my staple soy milk and fried dough at CK. Main disappointments: -Fried dough was hard and obviously re-fried -Baked sesame pancake (shao bing) with egg was floppy and soft, not crispy and flaky like I expected -Pork and cabbage bun was hard on one side, my mom said it tasted like it was microwaved/unevenly warmed -Sticky rice with mushroom, meat, egg was small and just "okay"...I'm sure you can buy larger and tastier ones from a nearby grocery store -Noodles in beef noodle soup were soft, lacked texture, not chewy at all -Bakery bread did not taste as fresh as the bread I had bought from Six Ping's other locations Some redeeming factors: -Beef noodle soup broth was flavorful, meat was very tender (but I still think I prefer Star Snow & Teriyaki's beef noodle soup over Six Ping's) -Egg inside the sesame pancake was good--was freshly made and piping hot -Reasonable prices Even with these redeeming factors, I will still frequent Six Ping's other locations for the bread and Classic Kitchen for the breakfast. I may pay a visit here once in a while but only because of its convenient location in the popular Dun Huang plaza. read more

I love coming in here to get little baked goodies for my family. The price is affordable and they have a nice selection. I normally get a big bag filled of stuff for about $15. Most of their items are priced in the $1-$2 range. I have yet to try their authentic-style Taiwanese breakfast in the morning. The day we went it was jam-packed with patrons. They also have cute little character cakes here which I absolutely adore. This place only takes cash, so come ready. read more

Six Ping quickly became my go-to Taiwan-style bakery in Houston (Taiwan-style meaning light and fluffy bread). I love the variety and the fact that they make so many of their baked goods so well. My favorites are the vanilla-taro-green tea pastry/bun, milk almond bread, pineapple bun, and custard bun. But it's hard to go wrong here, so if you see something you want to try, go for it! The only thing I wish Six Ping would do is offer more complex pastries and single-serving cakes and stuff like that. Easy 5* if they would. read more

4.5 for 6 Ping Are you trying to commit carbicide? Well do it right by going to Six Ping Six Ping could be the best chinese bakery i've ever been to. Growing up, the best buds mom would always give us some pastry to eat after school. Six Ping brings me back to those days :-) Due to Lent, I couldn't try the sweet pastries but i was able to sample, and by sample i mean inhale, a lot of the savory baked goods I honestly had probably most of the baked goods that had either green onion or pork sung in it.... What shocked me was that each individual pastry was unique and had different flavor profiles.... Not sure if the master baker is a wizard or witch but he/she is extremely talented. So.......... Lent is over..... have the obituary for me ready. read more

We wanted a mango cake for my grandmother birthday but unfortunately they stopped making them because mango was out of season. I ended up getting a coconut and pudding pandan cake. Not sure if it was the design but it was made with too much whip cream. Only the middle of the cake was good, the surrounding was mainly whip cream. read more

Whenever I come here, I make sure to grab at least 4 of their custard bread. This bread is sweet, custard inside, with an orange glazed on top. For only $1, it can't get better. I love this bread so much that sometimes my bf calls and reserves it for me. Is that a bit ridiculous? My other favorites are the sponge cake with almonds and egg tarts. The store is clean but crowdy especially on weekends. That's expected. Who doesn't want great pastry? Overall, this store is a must to check out. Delicious pastry and cheap. Btw, try to check out this store early since most of it will be sold out by lunch. If you're like me and have an obsession with this store, you would call and reserve a bag or two of pastries. read more

Very busy little store with a nice selection of different breads, cookies, banh mi, candy and rolls shaped to look like pig faces. I'm sure I'm missing other items. Cash only I believe with items as low as $1.50. Plenty of space to sit and eat. Nice place to stop by. read more

Chinatown is saturated with bakeries all calling your name with their delectable goodies. I've fallen victim to many "love at first sight" encounters with bakeries, but more times than not I am disappointed after going in for the first bite. After months of searching for the perfect taro bread, I have finally found my Bun-mate! I am particularly picky about my bread because so much contributes to what makes it delicious. The ratio of bread to filling, the consistency of the bread, the texture of the filling, all have to be in harmony. They are generous with the filling and it has actual real taro, which I can't say the same for a lot of other bakeries. Not only is their Taro Bun delicious but they have various kinds too! I seriously died and went to Taro Bun heaven. I have since ventured out to their other breads and have not been disappointed. The Pineapple Bun and Almond Bun were tasty too but of course I still always recommend their Taro Buns. read more

Finally made it out to Six PIng. I just never really go into this side of Bellaire shopping strip since it looks rather old and outdated compared to all the other newer ones near the Beltway. Well, after having a huge craving for some Chinese buns and wanting to get some for my son as well since he loves bread like his Mama, my hubby and I came here sans toddler on a Thursday afternoon to have time to pick out buns without little hands wanting to grab them and devour them. :) Based on Gretchen P's review, I picked two blueberry cream cheese buns, three custard buns, two red bean buns, and a pandan slice cake. I was tempted to get more but did not want to overbuy. Verdict? Deeeeelicious! I wish I picked up more of those blueberry cream cheese buns! I had just eaten a full dim sum lunch and it had only been twenty minutes since then but I immediately opened a blueberry cream cheese bun in the car and ate it! Hubby had a bite and wanted more! So next time I will buy more of those. It is like a creamy blueberry filling and the bread is so soft and sweet! When we picked up our son from daycare, I had packed a custard bun in my purse. He immediately wanted it and ate away happy, so it passes the toddler test of yummy in my tummy foods! The filling was generous too. Have not eaten the other buns yet but will later on this weekend. THey are sitting in the fridge to remain fresh. We will meet again Six Ping. read more

I was IN LOVE when I walked in... rows and rows and rows of beautiful looking carbs!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE?!?!?! I wanted to buy it all. Unfortunately, things were mislabeled & my "mochi bread" was just two-day-old toast remodeled to look like something edible. It was dry and chewy and definitely not mochi bread. This other promising chocolate swirled pastry bread looked amazing & also was disgusting. I couldn't even eat more than 2 bites-- it tasted like alcohol? And not chocolate. The chinese moon cake I bought was decent-- walnut and date flavor. Not superb but edible and passable. Would I give this place another chance? Maybe--- but definitely avoiding the breads I tried last time. read more

I'm only giving 2 stars because the mango cake is delicious but the service is absolutely horrid. The older lady that runs the place is rude to customers who speak English. I ordered a cake over the phone. I thought I was being polite because I understood that there was a slight language barrier but she seemed to be getting angry at me for repeating myself because she kept getting the date wrong for my pick up. When I went to pick up my cake, the young lady who helped me was sweet but the older lady brought me my cake and might as well have slammed it on the counter. After she taped the knife to the box she quickly said bye, as I was trying to tell them thank you, trying to get me out as soon as possible. Then I heard the two snickering as they went into the back. read more

OH MY GOODNESS. Seriously some of the best buns i've EVER had in my life! The bread is so fresh and sweet and soft and moist! I mean, I would eat just the bread by itself! I got a bunch of the Yellow Custard buns, and they've been an amazing breakfast food. I got my roommate some of the mini custard buns, and he loves them too! TIP: stick these babies in the microwave for about 10 seconds before eating them. Warming them up really does make them even more yummy! read more

I love their breads and bakery. I also tried green tea cake and green tea mousse, I don't remember the exact name. Green tea cake is kind of sweet for me, the other one is better. They also have ice cream cake for birthday, it's taste awesome! read more

Six Ping Bakery - Green tea mousse. Pretty sweet for me. - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

A cute and clean Chinese bakery that I often frequent. My favorites are the taro bread (soft sweet bread surrounding a rich taro filling), Japanese hotdog bread (savory bread holding pieces of hotdog and topped with green onion and bonito flakes), milk sung bread (sweet bread filled with dry milk custard), and the pork/cabbage baozi (they're in the fridge on the side, you get 4 large buns with tons of savory filling for 5 bucks). The later you go in the day, the less stuff there is. Bring cash! read more

I have a major weakness for sweets. I be acting like a thirsty h%7 when I'm left in a room full of pastries. This sensory overload always leaves me feeling some type of way and I quickly find myself salivating over the pastries. Saturday is my cheat day so If I am in the neighborhood you better believe I am going to stop for a Chinese egg custard. Beware as it is a cash only place, that is why I have a secret stash in my car. Oh yeah, reserved only for china town! I mean if I had too I would sit on a credit card and turn it into 5 quarters. That is how good this place is. The cakes are spongy due to their method of preparation. I assume that Chinese pastries are not meant to be overly sweet, but it works for these types of pastries! They have all sorts of selections and something for everyone to try. I definitely recommend stopping at this place to try something new. read more

What makes this an awesome bakery? 1) large selection of sweet breads, including a few that I've never seen before like bamboo bread (dark grey-ish) and wheat varieties 2) All the descriptions are in English! Finally, I can figure out what's in the pastry before I eat it...(other bakeries, please take note...having everything in simplified chinese isn't going to help me much) 3) I went on a taste-test of all the Taro breads in Houston, and found this to be the breadwinner! (pun-intended) There are about 4 different varieties of taro bread, but I like the one that's shaped like an atomic bomb/mushroom cloud. It has specks of black sesame on top and weighs more than the other breads since it's packed with REAL chunky taro paste. All that for less than $2. I'm sold. read more

When I first learned about this bakery, I couldn't stop coming back. Now I've controlled my cravings and it helps that Bellaire has awful traffic which makes my trips less frequent. This bakery offers a variety of bread that some times it's hard to decide what to buy. I've gone so many times but these are my favorites: Blueberry cream cheese bread (which is definitely pretty as well), the pumpkin seed bread, and the pandan sponge cake. Note that this place is cash only so remember to bring cash! read more

Great place to get a Hello Kitty cake but make sure you get someone to speak Chinese if you want to order your cake correctly. I ordered my hello kitty cake with only vanilla cake and strawberry fruit inside but I got something else which is mixed fruit and pudding. My girlfriend loved how the cake look like but didn't like how the cake was mushy. Overall, 4 stars for Hello Kitty Cake. read more

Amazing shop , the bread is so good and unique!! Love that they separated the sweet bread to one side and salty on the other . Also customer service was amazing, and made sure we found everything okay! read more

Six Ping recently opened their third location in the Dun Huang Plaza. So far we have tried their green tea ice cream cake, Taiwanese egg custard and an egg pudding. They were all very good! We ordered a 8 inch green tea ice cream cake for $30 and it was worth every dollar. It was one of the best ice cream cakes I've ever had. They have about 10 other flavors and I can't wait to try them all. Both the Taiwanese egg custard and egg pudding tasted very fresh and well-made, unlike most I've tried which usually tasted very processed. Besides baked goods this new location also serves Taiwanese breakfast which I am also looking to try. I am very happy that they opened this location as the Dun Huang Plaza desperately needed a bakery. --- BTW, the phone number listed for this location is WRONG. The number listed here, (713) 773-0658, is actually the number for Six Ping's older Bellaire location. I tried changing it but Yelp has it locked for some reason. I don't have their correct number handy. read more

you will find the fluffiest loaves of bread for awesome toast here. These put your off-the-shelf Texas toast to shame! Lots of good things on the shelf and the cakes are not expensive either for the decorative value. The only missing star for me is for the cake not having much flavor and the staff not always being responsive. I really wish they had smaller versions available to sample before committing to a full cake purchase. As soon as you walk in pick up a tray and tongs. Grab a few of the different types of pastries and go share with a friend. You will definitely find a few that you like and the price is right read more

This particular branch is not having a lot of bread and bakery selection, compare with other Six Ping stores. But for me, it's an okay gran and go place for classic Asian bread. read more

Literally obsessed with their paper cup cupcakes (纸杯蛋糕 - the tall cylinder cakes). Comes in chocolate, vanilla, durian, and pandan. The cake is always extremely fluffy and light. My favorite hands down is chocolate - I think it's consistently the most moist cake out of the 4. I just use a spoon and eat it right out of the plastic bag that it comes in! Their pineapple cakes are also delicious. Keep your pastries in the fridge and take them out before you want to eat them for longer storage life! Otherwise, their shelf lives are only a couple of days. Like most places in Chinatown, bring cash! read more

This Chinese bakery was filled with lovely sweet and savory baked goods. My girlfriends and I went the sweet route, and ordered pan dan, Japanese cream cheese cake, red bean with mochi bread, and egg custard bread. The green pan dan sponge cake was super light, with subtle buttery flavors (almost a little too subtle for me). But it was suuuuper light and felt like I was eating clouds! (or so I've heard). The Japanese cream cheese cake had a very unique texture. It was fluffy, yet slightly spongey, and milky. It was also good, but the others were my two top picks. The bread pastry filled with red beans and mochi was fantastic. It was smooth, sweet (but not overly sweet), earthy, and light. This was my first time experiencing beans in dessert form, and I totally dug it. The pastry bread filled with egg custard absolutely knocked the wind out of me. The outer bread was fluffy and flaky, and the inside was sooo creamy, buttery, and not too sweet. It was my absolute favorite of the four! I definitely recommend this inexpensive, authentic bakery to anyone visiting Houston's Chinatown! read more

There are few foods better than sweets or at least for me that's how it is. While in the Chinatown area I ventured into this little bakery and was instantly happy. Six Ping sells several varieties of breads, cakes and cookies. Some of the items are the sweet type such as the almond, chocolate and shortbread types. Others are semi sweet like the sesame cookie. Breads that make good breakfasting are the custard filled breads and the cinnamon type breads as well as the coffee cupcake. If sweets aren't so. I have to your taste, Six Ping does have more savory type breads like the pork filled bread loaf and the sausage filled. These are good breakfast choices as well as the sweeter ones. I purchased many items here: the coffee cupcake which is a tall type cupcake, very moist and soft inside with a rich coffee flavor and one of my favorites. I also got the almond cookies and almond shortbread. The cookie is a thin type but packed with almonds. Both are sweet but not overly so. The sesame cookies are less sweet but have the rather nutty, roasted sesame flavor. The custard filled bread was another top favorite. It was full of rich custard and the bread was fresh and soft with a buttery taste. The buttery cookies could not be passed up. they really are buttery and melt in your mouth. Last but not least I purchased a packet of macarons in green tea and in lemon. These are a larger macaron than most bakeries sell but are just as tasty. Both were delicious and crumbly chewy. Prices are pretty reasonable here. Items are offered in both refrigerated and room temperature types with many cakes as refrigerated kinds. I truly enjoyed my baked goods from this place. If you have a sweet tooth or want to try a savory bread, I suggest giving this place a try. read more

This is their second location (the first one is by Jusco supermarket). Guess they are doing good business. This is typical Asian bakery. So if you want the authentic French baguette and chewy and crusty bread, this is not the place. They have soft bread with different sweet fillings. My favorite is the taro. Most people like the red beans. Their cakes are light and not as sweet and rich as the American cakes. Basically everything is softer compared to American bread. I really like their whole grain toasts. They are made with pumpkin seeds, walnuts and dried cranberries. Very tasty and good for peanut better sandwich (my favorite!). They also take orders to make cakes. It's a good place your children's birthday cakes because they make cakes in the shape of teddy bears and hello kitty. read more

Discovered this place within the past year and now I won't go anywhere else to get my fresh breads! The store is small and crowded, but it is definitely worth fighting through the crowd. The bread is good, fresh, and cheap. I have also started getting cakes here as well. Tastes delicious and is a fraction of the price that places like Jungle Cafe charge. read more

I frequent the cheap little tailor next door. As a rule of thumb, when I see a stream of people coming in and out of a shop... illegally parked behind legally parked vehicles... I follow them like sheep to find out what is goin on. Rule of thumb was pretty much right. This shop is pretty legit. All kinds of Chinese baked goods. My favorite was this kind of kolache thing with corn and weird sauce for $1.50. I know I am comparing apples to oranges here but go to French Riviera or Angela's Oven and buy a croissant for $2.50 plus... get an authentic baked good here for $1.50. Did I mention pumpkin bread and green onion bread each for less than $2! I would give it a higher rating but i have had better, granted it was in Asia but given the amount of non-English flying out of the woman's mouth at the cash register... this establishment knows the fundamentals. Visit. Look around. But don't expect cupcakes and donuts. Expect more. read more

Nice bakery - pandan chiffon cake was one of the best I've ever had! So moist and fluffy even after it sat in my fridge for a day. Worth checking out! read more

Holy guacamole! Superlatives abound. Best Chinese bakery in town. Fresh and vast selection. Huge servings. Everything looks so good that I always want to get one of everything and have to restrain myself. The lightest pandan chiffon cake I've ever had or maybe it was a green tea sponge cake. Either way, was fluffy and airy, like eating a cloud... They even had a squid ink bun with pork sung. I didn't know what is was either when I saw it, but it didn't keep me from eating it. Yum. I'm usually not even a fan of pork sung, but this place just does everything so well that I'm a new convert. And mmm, green onion bread, corn bread (no, not that kind of corn bread), and Japanese milk bread. Great job on the classics. Not the healthiest (big surprise), but highly delectable asian baked goods. read more

Came here because it was my mom's birthday. She is not into the typical sweet birthday cakes and a friend recommended this bakery to me. The price of their baked goods are amazing and the cakes are really delicious and look great. I just walked in and out with a coffee mocha cake and bread goodies. My mom and my family loved it. I gave four stars because the bakery is a little small and plain looking. read more

Absolutely amazing! This bakery makes me want to keep coming back for more! Not only is it cheap, but this place has a lot to choose from! The coconut raisin bread is delish! But be careful because if you buy the loaf, the middle is filled with coconut flakes and it can be messy! Their chocolate sponge cake is moist and tasty. There's this chocolate swirl bread that I haven't seen them make in a while, but if you ever come across that... DO NOT PASS IT UP! It's soooooooo yummy that I'm sadden by the fact that I haven't seen it in a while! :( I also bought this chocolate cream filled cake... I haven't had it yet, but I will update once I take a bite of it. read more

My pandan cake was so light and fluffy. It's a perfect little dessert that isn't too sweet if you prefer something less dense. I also tried the pineapple cookie which has a gelatin filled inside. It's a tad dry but it's very small. Not too shabby for being less than $1.50. The milky filled pastry dessert wasn't good at all. Texture and filling isn't tasty. Do not buy! read more
