Very good bakeries that are comparable to 85 degrees or better. They participate in Too Good to go so you can get all goodies for a few bucks.

If you are in San Jose, this is a hidden gem for buns. Large variety and friendly staff. We stopped by before our dinner next door.

Great little hidden gem in this plaza. This is a small bakery that is not very noticeable. I've been in this plaza so many times before actually noticing this place and went in to browse around. They have good bakery. Sliced cakes are delicious and very reasonably priced. They have what the Cantonese called it"white sugar cake" which my kids love! There's a little freezer filled with steam buns and dumplings. Will try that one day.

I'm a sucker for their pandan sponge cakes. Whenever I'm visiting this plaza for other restaurants nearby, I swing by here either before or after my meal. They carry your usual Chinese bakery items, but I'm not too interested in them other than the hot dog buns, even that one isn't the classic style that I prefer. They carry some frozen buns as well if you prefer the steamed ones. They do sell hot items like egg tarts, I've never tried these though. They have various flavored mousse cakes that were pretty good in flavor. For $2 a slice, it's pretty good, but don't expect them to be super grammable. Their sponge cakes though... that's a different story, they have original and strawberry flavors, I don't care about those at all. However, they do all fall in the Buy 3 Get 1 deal. If you want variety, have at it with the mix and match. I believe the sponge cakes are $3 a piece, but I stopped caring about the price long ago.

A friend suggested this spot, so we stopped by for dessert! Right when we walked in, I was shocked at how low the prices were for the little cake slices; $1-2 was unbelievable! It's a small store but there is a wide variety of things to choose from, and the employees are happy to help if we need it. Here's what I got & here's what I thought: Cake slice - Mocha (4/5) - Not that sweet!Cake slice - Chocolate (5/5)Cake slice - Tiramisu (5/5)Tiramisu was my favorite, but all three were so good! I like how they are layered with a little bit of cake and some gelatin/mousse type layer (which is SO so good by the way). Not only were they yummy, but also filling! If you're ever in the area, this is an absolute must try!

Yummy bakeries. Reasonable price. Hard to find a great place like this anywhere anymore.

Lots of pastry options to choose from. There milk bread and buns with meat or sweets in them are the ones i like! Tip is to try to go end of day and see what they have left, because the pastries are cheaper for end of the day.

Just went there today on 1/19 for the first time and it was closed due to staff shortages! Not sure when they will open again and they should really update Yelp so people don't waste their time going there. So this review is just based on my experience but haven't been tried any of their pastries.

I stopped by after getting my haircut. I had been in here before but thought it was a cute mom and pop bakery. All their buns looked delicious. Today, I decided to get a mooncake. I tried the pandan mooncake. It's not my usual go-to, but I wanted to try a new flavor. The outside cakey part was light and flavorful. Also, not oily at all. The pandan filling inside was light and smooth. It was a sizable amount as the outer cake was thin. Very tasty!The service was very friendly and helpful!

Stopped by to check this place out. Located in a strip mall of sorts in milpitas with many other Asian eats. Friendly staff with lots of options especially if you get there earlier in the day. Price was reasonable compared to other similar Asian bakeries with good variety. Parking is relatively easy in the lot for the strip mall. Would definitely come back again when in the area.
