Uncle Chuang's Bakery

This is a nice bakery near UCR, with an awesome founding story! I enjoy Asian bakeries like 85 degrees, so I wanted to check this out and I wasn't disappointed :) The items are unique and well priced.- I first tried their pineapple turtle bun, which admittedly wasn't really my thing- it did feel a little dry and the filling didn't seem to go with the bread, but it was also my first time trying a pineapple bun in general. However, I appreciated that they were selling sriracha so I bought a bottle!- The next time I went, I bought Pocky because of their buy one get one free deal! Compared to the overpriced Pocky at UCR's market, this was nice. I also bought a honey matcha cake that was honestly heavenly. The texture was perfectly soft and spongy even when I opened it the next day. The matcha flavor was subtle but present, and it wasn't too sweet, which usually isn't my thing, but I actually liked it! I'll definitely be visiting this place frequently!Service:The staff are kind and helpful.Ambiance:There is no seating inside, it is a small bakery, but that doesn't detract from buying things here. It is a quaint and well kept shop, with items nicely displayed and clearly labeled!

This small bakery sits in University Village, near UC Riverside's campus. It's an amazing spot for grab and go pastries! The prices are very fair too (averaging $2-4). The store itself isn't very big, but they offer a wide variety of both sweet and savory options.Parking is really easy, there's plenty of spots. While it is a ticketed lot, they offer 90 minutes for free. It's never been busy in the times I've gone (usually before noon), and the servers are pretty nice. I wish they offered more drinks, but they do have basic coffee and a couple other canned beverages.

Uncle Chuang's has been one of my favorite bakeries for years now.Staff is friendly. The inside is clean and well-organized. It's a grab-and-go type situation, so there isn't any seating. There are trays at the entrance, so you just take one, pile on your selections, and take them to the counter to check out. No restroom. Parking is easy since they are located in the University Village shopping plaza. It is a ticketed lot, but you can get a few hours free with validation. It can feel crowded when they're busy because it's a small shop, but the noise level stays relatively mild. They have a good variety of refrigerated and non-refrigerated options, as well as both sweet and savory items. There are some limited drink options as well. The cold sandwiches and pork sung spam musubi are so good! Get there early if you want to try them because they do sell out frequently. I also highly recommend the fruit sponge cakes and honey cakes. Prices are fair. 10/10 recommend.

Food: Asian bakery closest to where I live, which is loma linda area, good choices overall, got cookies and pastries to share with friends. Matcha cheesecake was exceptionally good and not too sweet (which is the highest compliment an Asian person can give lol). Got the free iced tea (offered to those who spend more than $12), but it had way too much sweetener inside, and seemed like it's been sitting out for a long timePrice: about $2-4 ish for each piece, good valueAmbiance: small interior, no place to sit down, grab and go kind of placeService: nice friendly, no issues hereParking: ample huge parking lot, you do have to grab a ticket to park, but first 90 minutes is free, no need for validation

Love stopping by here whenever I'm in the area for some nice breads and pastries. I love that they haven't inflated the prices like other major chain bakeries. Very cozy place with enough assortments of sweets/savory items. My favorite is anything with the pork floss. They also have delicious rolled cakes that are always so tempting! With every purchase over I believe $12 you get a complementary tea and it's refreshing and delicious. Worth a stop if you want to stock up or share. All the staff I have ran into are nice. Parking is free (up to a certain hour, I can't remember).

All the bread stuff here tastes almost exactly the same. Believe it or not, the croissants here have the same taste and texture as the pineapple buns. In addition, neither were yummy. However, I gave this place 2 stars rather than one star because the price is low and the Almond Crunch Cookie was delicious.The free iced tea with a certain amount of food purchased was delicious but way too sweet.

I saw this place on Instagram. I happen to be in the area and finally got to try it. I am so glad they opened in Riverside. We need more Asian bakeries in the Inland Empire! This place brings me back to the old bakeries in Rowland Heights and Monterey Park. It is small. It looks pretty new on the inside and out. They have cakes and desserts in a refrigerated case. But most of their breads and desserts are lined up against the wall. There are trays. No tongs but everything is individually wrapped. The one thing that stands out to me is their desserts are so pretty in presentation. The turtle pineapple bun looks like a turtle. I wouldn't have gotten it except that it looked so cute. They also had a blueberry torturo. It was shaped into an animal. Again I had to get it. I got a pork sung bun as well. A coconut bun and mango dessert were also in my cart. My favorite dessert was the blueberry totoro bun. It was a blueberry bun sitting on a chocolate stand. So good! The pork sung puff was also very good. My last favorite was the turtle pineapple bun. It was a bit dry for me but overall it was not bad. I will certainly be back to support this family owned bakery. The prices were great, too!

My go to place for a quick something in collegeI'm always getting buns from here, I'm sure half of my body is made of bread by nowWorkers are v friendly and prices are v goodSo many good options to choose from

Pastries were good! Arrived around midday though so some of the items weren't available. Service was excellent and we even received a free milk tea with purchase. My favorite was the honey bread. Everything tasted fresh and unique. Loved it.

The pastries are delicious and freshly baked. The service is great and they are nice, they offer free green tea if you reach a certain amount. The place is clean. It's well recommended!
