    Stockton Bakery offers different baked buns, from sweet to savory as well as whole cakes. Their egg tarts are smooth and flaky, maybe even comparable but cheaper than Golden Gate Bakery. This bakery is also one of the few places that have the paper-wrapped cupcakes iykyk. There is no seating, just an order and go place. The staff all speak Chinese but you can just point at the items you want. Like majority of food places in Chinatown, it's cash only. Prices are affordable and comparable to other bakeries in Chinatown. Glad that I can get all this for under $20 still

    Came here on a Sunday around 2pm after walking around Chinatown! It was fairly busy but mostly everything was in stock. Many of the pastry items had Mandarin labels, so we weren't sure what everything was at first, but the staff and other customers were able to help us. We got a pineapple custard bun, taro custard bun, crushed peanut coconut mochi, red bean coconut mochi, and two egg tarts. Pineapple custard bun (4.5/5): Favorite of the bunch! The pineapple custard had the right amount of sweetness. I wish there was more filling in the bun. Taro custard bun (4/5): Taro custard was more subtle, still tasted good but not as sweet as the pineapple one. Also would have liked for there to have been more custard in the bun. Egg tart (3/5): The crust was thick so the ratio between the egg custard filling and the pastry dough seemed unbalanced. The egg custard was a little too mild. Crushed peanut coconut mochi (2/5): This seemed undercooked as the texture was gloopy and not very firm. Didn't get much of the crushed peanut coconut flavor Read bean mochi (2/5): Same as the peanut coconut mochi, seemed undercooked. Would have liked more red bean in the mochi Even though we were not a fan of all the items, I would still give Stockton Bakery a 4/5 because the custard buns were great and everything was very affordable - $8.50 for 6 items! I would come back if I was in the area for the pineapple custard bun.

    All the baos here are so fresh and delicious!! I came here a few months ago around 4pm, which was a mistake on my part since they sold out of most baos by then but we managed to get a bunch of bolo baos, or pineapple buns!! It was so fluffy and soft. I had a hard time speaking to the lady working behind the counter because my Cantonese isn't the best, but she was patient with me. Sooo excited to come back for more!

    A close friend spent the day in San Francisco and bought back some egg tarts from Stockton Bakery. Their egg tart was good, creamy custard filling, and buttery yet firm crust.

    Came back to this Chinese bakery in Chinatown again, and it's just as good as I remembered--maybe even better! This spot has officially become my go-to every time I'm in the area. This time, I picked up 18 buns, including pineapple BBQ pork, pork floss scallion, hot dog scallion, tomato and ham, cocktail buns, and the classic BBQ pork. All for $27! The bread was soft, fresh, and fluffy, and the fillings were well-balanced and flavorful. Nothing feels too heavy or dry--just really satisfying all around. The line was long again, but it moved quickly. The staff here are fast and efficient, so definitely know what you want by the time you reach the front. Prices are still incredibly reasonable for the quality and variety. Can't wait for my next visit!

    I loved the Durian Buns at Napoleon Bakery, so I was sad when they closed. I haven't seen them at the Oakland location and other bakeries don't have anything similar. This Chinese bakery opened in its spot, and when I saw that they had them I had to stop by! 3X 榴莲包 Durian Bun: $2.00 each +Chewy bread filled w/a generous amount of rich, creamy durian filling. +Unlike Napoleon's version, the bits sprinkled on top were crunchy. Side notes: 1.) No indoor seating 2.) Walking distance from Chinatown Station *Verdict: One bite, and I was in love! IMO these are even better than the OG version. If you love bread and you love durian, you need to come try these! Just remember to bring cash.

    A coworker tipped me into checking Stockton Bakery out for egg tarts when I was planning my San Francisco trip - and Stockton did not disappoint! Apparently, this used to be called Napoleon Bakery - but was renamed sometime over the past few years. It's sort of a hole-in-the-wall bakery - like many of the other mom and pop shops in Chinatown. Don't let that take away from the sweets and treats found in this little gem! There is an assortment of both sweet and savory breads, as well as the egg tarts!!! At $1.70 an egg tart - this is a great deal, considering 1) the egg shortage we have right now in CA, 2) the size of these egg tarts - almost 2.5x the size of typical egg tarts you get at dim sum, 3) the taste and quality of these egg tarts. The photos I took don't lie - each bite into the buttery, flaky crust leads you into a euphoria of creamy, egg-y custard. The custard filling is thick too. I can normally down like 4 of the dim-sum sized tarts - but I was already satisfied after devouring two of these tarts. There was a short line, but it moved quickly. Service is prompt and efficient. They aren't rude - it's Chinese culture to be prompt and direct. Know what you want. Have your cash ready on hand. I asked for 4 egg tarts - and the friendly clerk asked me if I bought 5, she can put it in a little box - SOLD!

    This review is on their overcharge schemes. I ordered 2 hotdog buns($3), 2 chicken buns($3), 4 sponge cakes ($3.5), and one pack of Ma Kei ($4). This old lady charged me $16.50. I didn't realize until I got home that I was overcharged by $3. This is the second time's happened at this bakery (and by the same old lady). I believe this old lady purposely overcharged patrons few bucks on each cash transaction since it's all paid by cash and no receipts so it's not traceable. Tips: try to estimate your cost first or ask for receipts.

    Egg tarts
    Nina C.

    My rating is for the egg tarts! Less than $2 each for a sizable tart. I ordered a dozen and was handed a pink box filled with warm, freshly baked tarts. Tender, flaky tart dough filled with lucious egg custard. We brought these to a party and everyone loved them. Line to the door on a Sunday afternoon. Patience pays off! To-go only.

    This place was previously called Napoleon Bakery, and I've always been a fan of their egg tarts. In my opinion, they make the best egg tarts around. At $1.80 each, they're served warm with creamy custard and a flaky, delicious crust--still very affordable. I'm also a big fan of their pineapple buns. The large plain ones are 4 for $3, while the red bean or custard-filled ones are $1.50 each. The smaller pineapple buns with filling are 4 for $2.80. Every time I'm in Chinatown (which isn't often), I make sure to stop by and grab a few egg tarts and pineapple buns.

    Get their stuffed cheese white bread only $4.00 and they are delicious
    Rudy H.

    Really good bakery that makes the best and the most delicious stuffed white bread in the city! They are soft, bit sweet, fluffy and tasty. Only $4.00 each! But there is one big problem, they don't write their white bread flavors in English, only in Chinese so you must ask. When I was there, they were coconut, cheese, cream. I've had the cheese, which I think was incredibly delicious. Pork floss buns, egg tarts and cakes are also highly recommended. Prices are very competitive!

    I used to visit this bakery when they were called Napoleon bakery. The manager and some of the same staff still works at this bakery under the new name, Stockton Bakery. I mainly come here for the egg tarts. They're currently $1.80 each and I think they one of the best egg tarts you can get in Chinatown. The crispy, flakey crust of the egg tart goes well with the light sweetness of the egg custard when you bite into it. They have fresh egg tarts cooling down near the back of the shop and you can ask them for those. They taste best when they're warm. They also have mini pineapple buns with custard or red bean that cost $3 for 4. I included photos of the display counters with the selection and prices from August 16, 2025. This is a to go bakery only. There is no sit down area for customers. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend you try their egg tarts.

    They are finally back! One of the best deal in Chinatown. The size and taste are unbelievable for their price. Easily some of the top egg tarts in the area. Lots of goodies to try. The service is fast and friendly. It can be noisy and very busy in this area but the wait is short. Def recommend for locals and visitors.

While I was visiting friends in the Inner Richmond, we were tempted by the aroma of butter and decided to brave the line to try one of these legendary pastries. While the line stretched halfway down the block, it moved quickly, and we only waited in line for about 15 minutes. The ordering process was efficient, and we were able to pick up our pastries in a couple of minutes once we were at the front of the line. The menu is short and simple, and I decided to try the almond croissant, one of the classics. I enjoyed my croissant when I got home, and immediately noticed how decadent and heavy the pastry was (I recommend splitting it). The outside was very toasted - almost bitter - and the inside of the pastry tasted slightly underbaked. On a more positive note, I appreciated how the almond filling tasted purely of freshly-ground almonds; simple and naturally sweet without the overpowering almond-extract flavor. While this first experience did not quite live up to my expectations, I would still come back to try the other pastries.

We also tried the classic butter bun, which was excellent, but the guava version was the winner for us. For something savory, we ordered the salted egg yolk and BBQ pork bun, and it was delicious. The combination of sweet, salty, and savory flavors worked really well together. We also tried the pandan bun, which was fine, but it didn't quite stand out compared to the other flavors.

It's definitely a busy area so expect to park in one of the nearby residential areas or be extremely and walk/bike/bus here! Upon stepping into the tiny shop, I was enveloped in the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies. It was tempting to put that in my bag, but I stuck with my game plan. They do self serve for all the baked goods and drinks except the pizza and focaccia. You tell the cashier what you grabbed. There's self serve complimentary water on the side too. Got a pecan swirl, one of each square focaccia flavors, and a half pizza (hot). The pizza flavor of the day was triple mushroom with sesame ginger garlic vinaigrette and mozzarella. It was 10/10 delicious!! Do note that they don't heat up the focaccia. Personally, after tasting everything, I'd say the pizza is more worth it than the focaccia "pizzas". The pecan roll was quite addicting too. You can also skip the line if you want to order online on their website and schedule a pick up time, but my gift card didn't work so I just waited in line.
