Rola Bakery

I dropped by and ended up grabbing a mango mousse cake slice (~$9) and a matcha tart ($~4). The mango mousse cake slice looked delicious, with various layers that you could see in the box: spongecake, mousse, mango jelly/jam, and cream. Each bite was light and creamy, with strong flavors of mango coming through. I thought the mousse/cream would be overwhelming because of its ratio to the spongecake but it actually wasn't at all. That said, I do wish there was another layer of spongecake just to complete the bite. It was a hit nonetheless though. Not overly sweet, though I do like sweets so my tastes might be different. The matcha tart was such a surprise. It's not a normal egg tart shape but is more cylindrical like a shot glass. I thought the shell would be hard to bite but it was a good texture that was firm but easy to bite through. The matcha flavor seemed to be in the shell and tasted great with the egg filling. The surprise is at the bottom as you continue eating. It actually has red bean and mochi filling! I did not expect that at all but it worked with the pastry well. Overall, I would definitely come back. They have a ton of other desserts that looked really good! Staff was really nice and service was quick.

What the heck? I came here on Sunday around 2pm to get some tea and I was told that they didn't have any drinks available. They literally have a photo of a tea drink on their giant window before you walk in. Why do you not have any drinks?Super disappointed just ended up, turning around and walking out.

Tried this place yesterday with my family because my son wanted boba. We tried the boba egg tart as well as the plain egg tart. Both were just 'eh' nothing really wow about them. We also tried the mini purple sweet potato cup cake and that was not good at all. The texture of the sweet potato and cake didn't go well together. Tried the Oreo Milk Crepe which was surprisingly good. Our son enjoyed it and said that it was so far the only good thing from here. Boyfriend got the Ube Mid Milk Tea and our son got the brown sugar milk tea. Which our salon said was just "Mid".Interior was pretty basic, nothing interesting to see.I don't think our family will be back.

Friendly staff! Very patient with broken mandarin. Displays with pastries were clean and well put together. Got 4 egg tart pastries and the taro puffs. Family loved the taro pastries as they were perfectly creamy, not sweet at all, and the breading was so soft. The egg tarts were well loved too by the family and cat. Will be coming back!

I didn't get want anything from the bakery at the moment since I had a pastry early morning, but I decided to give this place a try and try one of their milk teas. Milk Tea is alright, but some Ube didn't blend in with the drink. It seems like that the place is still renovating since there are no TVs turned on and that there are rarely any decorations. Some stuff I'm seeing should be put at the backend. I also saw pictures of a large grey teddy bear sitting on the chair, which is quite nice. I'll max this rating up for four stars at the time being since I didn't get anything from the bakery. I'm hoping that this place improves soon. Also, some items I see from online such as cakes are not displayed at the display boxes. Perhaps, they are sold out? Remains a mystery at the moment.

Found this Asian bakery recently && it's been a legit addiction.This small little mom&pop shop is hidden, beside New Park Mall & Lazy Dog. It's a casual cafe (mainly for takeout), serving up Taiwanese desserts with a unique twists. Service is pretty straight forward and limited - as the worker's English speaking abilities are a bit restricted overall. But it's still easy to get by, by simply pointing + all goods are labeled in English with prices as well. Faves:(1) Mochi lava buns - these are soooo good!!! The regular cream filling is tasty, not too sweet and a little salty. The exterior though is what really makes this unique, the mochi exterior had a great chew to it.(2) Sweet potato/taro lava buns - this is just as good as the regular one above but a tad bit sweeter. The purple filling is nice and creamy, while the mochi exterior had that same great chew/texture. (3) Sweet potato/Taro cheesecake - another popular item and great for sharing since it comes with 4 pieces so it's a lot. The filling is a little more firm than the buns - but still that tasty, sweet, & creamy taro filling. THEN it's sandwich between...the fluffiest little cheesecake pillows that is so light and airy, it's to die for! Pass:(1) Egg tarts - this was unique but not my fave. Overall it looks great esp. with the unique shape and height, and as a modern version I can see the appeal in the pie like crust. But I'm a die hard OG Portuguese egg tart gal in love with a flaky crust, so this didn't cut it for me. (2) Taro with Pork floss - this was WEIRD, not my forte but my in-laws were all about. I understand sweet and savory - but it was too STRANGE for me...to eat pork floss amiss taro cream/cake. I just personally don't have the palette for it lol

First time at this style bakery. They serve cakes, desserts, and milk tea/dessert drinks. And stop right there, you probably think it's just one of "those" bakeries, but they have deep-dish egg tarts! I've never knew they had deep dish variants so I had to give it a try. Scrumptious

I'm so glad I found this place! It looks like they're popular for their egg tarts, but I think their box cakes and breads are more incredible here. I got the hot dog bread and the bread itself was super soft and pulled apart nicely. Each layer of the cake was super flavorful.The staff is super friendly and great at sales because auds they convinced me to get 4 egg tarts when I was only going to get one.There's some seating inside, and some big plushies to sit with if you're alone.

This place is my new guilty pleasure. Ample parking and pastries are amazing. The selection isn't very big, but everything that I have tried so far is flavorful and the absolute perfect level of sweetness. Casual ambiance; very few people stay to eat. Staff only speak Mandarin Chinese, but I'm sure they'd be willing to help if you're willing to point.They do a 5% cash discount, and $10 minimum card. Every time I pass by with cash in my wallet, I take it as a sign that I was meant to get pastries that day, haha. Prices are a little higher, but well worth it for the quality of the goods. My favorites so far are the mochi taro cake and the taro cheesecake. The baked goods surprisingly keep really well; I forgot my taro goodies in the fridge before leaving for a weekend trip, and they were somehow just as yummy (even the mochi was still soft) when I got back. Everything is light in texture, and if you're a fan of taro, you absolutely need to try the goods here; the taro taste comes through this delicious paste they make. I'm not the biggest fan of their savory treats (I also can't stand pork sung on sweets), so I'd recommend their taro desserts or egg tarts instead. Haven't tried their milk teas yet, but seems very fresh and popular, seeing as they've sold out of a lot of their selection each time I've gone! Love the sweets here; I'll definitely be back!!

TL;DR: This is a cute woodsy-like Chinese Bakery home to baked goods. Be forewarned that most of their goods seem to be significantly under-sweetened than under Asian bakeries. They also don't speak English well but they are very eager to help you if you point. Pro-Tip: it is 5% off your entire order if you pay cash. If you use a credit card, it is a $10 minimum. parking:- lots of parking available as this location is on the outskirts of the Newark Costco. wait time:- no wait even though several patrons came in to order and left promptly afterward. ambiance:- clean, quaint, and slightly woodsy vibes with the twine-covered lights and brown leather chairs. service:- the employees don't speak English well but if you point, they will try their best to help you!- I will point out that even though their menu boasts a wide variety of drinks, they only had oolong and milk tea today. food:[Worth It] - Purple Sweet Potato Lava Mochi Balls: This was the perfect mix of sweetness and mochi texture! I would consider coming back just for this! [Good to Try Once]- Durian Mille Crepe Cake: You can tell fresh durian was used, however the taste was mild and left me unfulfilled. [Not Worth It]- Boba Egg Tart: these are not your traditional egg tarts as they appear taller and fancier. Yet, the custard tasted too mild for my taste. The boba toppings on the other hand, were surprisingly squishy still despite having sat out for several hours. - Red Bean Mochi Egg Tart: I think this item was mislabeled as "Mocha Egg Tart" because I didn't notice any mocha flavors at all. On the bottom of the egg tart, I was surprised to find a small layer of red bean and mochi. While this was a creative take on egg tarts, the lack of flavor from the custard created an overall lackluster experience. - Tropical Oolong (light ice and 50% sugar): this drink was terrible! It was so overpowering with sugar I couldn't bother to take another sip.
