Like the name, the cakes and buns are “Yummy”!. Soft, scrumptious, yum, very reasonably priced. Highly recommend

Great local bakery .. pandan sponge cakes, mini mooncakes, white egg tarts, paper cup cake , real pineapples in the pineapple buns !everything is fresh & something new is always coming out of the oven .. cash only, take out only, no seats available!

What a tasty little gem this bakery is!
Don’t miss the green onion shredded pork roll — I’ll seriously never forget that mix of flavors.
The lady at the counter was super sweet. Loved the whole experience

Don’t miss Pineapple bun freshly out of oven!

This bakery is known for their egg tarts, but I honestly don’t think they live up to the hype. While I get that Asian-style pastries are usually less sweet, these egg tarts were just too bland for my taste. The crust is nice and crispy, but the custard filling lacked richness and flavor. They offer both the traditional Hong Kong egg tart and a unique white version, which has a subtle coconut oil aroma—but still not enough to carry the flavor. On the plus side, the egg tarts are impressively large and served piping hot straight from the oven, which is always a treat. And for the price, they’re incredibly affordable. It’s a good value, but flavor-wise, I’ve definitely had better elsewhere.

The customer service is not good. The staff was rude and did not communicated clearly about the waiting time for the egg tarts.

They’re pastries are super delicious. I picked some lava cake and another item. Both super yummy. I noticed the egg tarts after I paid otherwise I would have gotten some of those too.

Great tarts, good buns, worst staff ever.

So many fun and unique flavored buns! I came here just to try their egg tarts ($2.75 each) and they were ok. However, the egg white egg tarts (also $2.75 each) are delicious!! Haven't seen these before.
On Saturdays it can get quite busy, but the line goes by fast. They accept Venmo payments too.

The egg tarts are honestly ust OK, I would say nothing to go crazy about and also quite expensive. The saving grace is that the line is much shorter than the golden gates bakery but honestly, I did not love it here
Such a great spot, ceam buns are bus'n its just so cramped in there. But everything there is so good.

Variety of fresh baked breads and sweets. They also served hot drinks which perfectly pair.
The only downside is that they don't have tables and chairs for dine-in.

Last week, I passed by Golden Gate Bakery and saw a huge line, so I decided to find another spot in Chinatown with equally delicious egg tarts! (After all, there are so many egg tart shops there 😆!) That’s when I discovered Yummy Bakery & Cafe that sells egg white egg tarts!
Even when I arrived 30 minutes before closing, there was still a small line! They were still baking fresh bread and egg tarts—such a nice surprise! The interior clearly showed its history as an old-school bakery, which immediately let me know they are good 👀.
I got the egg white egg tart, regular egg tart, and a pineapple bun with real pineapple chunks 🍍.
Egg Tart: When eaten fresh and warm, the crust is super crispy and fragrant, and the custard is soft, silky, and delicious 😋. It’s above average, but not mind-blowing—more of a solid stable choice when you’re craving egg tarts!
Egg White Egg Tart: The filling had a texture kind of like steamed milk pudding, and the crust was on the crispier side! It might not be for everyone, but it’s definitely worth trying at least once!
Pineapple Bun: The crust was flaky, and the bread was soft and fluffy! The balance between the milk custard filling and real pineapple chunks was just right—when you bite into the pineapple pieces, the natural fruity aroma bursts out, making the custard feel lighter and not overwhelming 😲. Such a pleasant surprise!!
If you ever catch these fresh out of the oven, you must get one—this was my favorite out of everything and totally worth buying again! It was my first time trying a pineapple bun with actual pineapple chunks inside 😆. And it was so crispy that I couldn’t even tear it apart for a photo—it just flattened instantly 😆. Definitely best enjoyed warm!
