7 Best Bakeries in Alhambra

“Asian bakeries are amazing me since I discovered them. Good quality pastry; cakes; good tea; polite staff. Good pricing. Check this place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.“

“Their varieties of breads and cakes are fewer comparing to the other 85degree bakeries, I don’t mind driving further for more choices. But if I’m craving a slice of Black Forest cake, then I’ll come here, since they will always have the classics/basics here.“

“small cute shop but only two small tables to sit at,, they were really nice and recommended a lot of treats for us! we tried the tiramisu, mango roll, mango mochi, pomelo mango sago drink, almond cookies, and the variety custard pack! the family favorites were the almond cookies, sago drink, and mango roll!! so so good and yummy would definitely return for those :D“

“My friend brought me a sandwich from here for lunch today and it was UNBELIEVABLY good!!! WOW <3 =)“

“Simply Splendid Bakery in Monterey Park is hands down the best Hong Kong–style bakery I’ve found in South LA — truly authentic and delicious. Their pastries taste just like what you’d get in Hong Kong, if not better!

My absolute favorite is the white egg tart — it’s incredible, and I honestly haven’t seen any other bakery offer this. It’s perfectly flaky, rich, and not overly sweet.

The prices are also very reasonable and affordable, which makes it easy to come back again and again. Their Hong Kong–style breads are outstanding too — soft, fresh, and flavorful.

Highly recommend this place if you love authentic Hong Kong pastries. I’ll definitely keep coming back! 🥐“

“I ordered a birthday cake (strawberry sponge cake) here the other day on short notice and -- while it wasn't the prettiest -- the quality and taste was A+. It was fluffy, spongey, and had a good amount of fruit inside, and everyone was happy. Super affordable too (less than $40) for an 8-inch cake!

Don't expect there to be a great website with an online ordering system showing a menu of cakes with photos. Do expect to call to order, to text a photo of the cake design you want (along with flavor/filling), and to pay cash only in store on pickup.

This feels like a locals-only shop from the 90s that makes high quality product without the frills of social media or a modern website. It's not for everyone, but it was a great deal for me!“

“Little pastry shop that famous for Taiwanese pastry. Especially the mung bean cake 綠豆椪 $4.25 per one. They have vegetarian or version go pork. I prefer the vegetarian version. They sell out quick. But you can always call in ahead of time to reserve it. They also sell bento, and dumpling. Overall please with the food and pastry.“
