Fancy Wheatfield Bakery

Tiny bakery with a wide selection of house made toasts, as well as cakes and wrapped Chinese pastries ranging from sweet to savory.Pick up a tray and tong, put what you want on the tray, then pay at the counter. It's a grab-and-go place with no seating. I like their soft rolled cakes and red bean filled pastry.

Is the name of this bakery chain a remnant of the propaganda era in China? Probably not but it kinda sounds like a slogan meant to inspire harvests of eternal prosperity for the rural proletariat. Anyway, I know I can usually find something sweet here to finish off some savory meal nearby like the beef noodle soup at Yuanbao Jiaozi or the chicken pho at Pho Huynh Hiep. I went to town this time and got three things.The $2 Coffee Cake was good but too heavy even for me. It came rolled with an especially sweet icing slathered inside (photo: https://yelp.to/y_WGDJuEL1). I got more satisfaction from the $1.80 Coconut Tart which was not overly eggy or sweet with plenty of coconut shavings baked into the filling (photo: https://yelp.to/k1-dPnfyLC). My favorite was the simplest, the $1.50 Milk Cake, of which two comes in a packet (photo: https://yelp.to/ARsK9ZPpNk). Bring me the tongs.BAKED GOODS - 4 stars...tasty calories on the runAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...typical selection, hermetically sealedSERVICE - 3 stars...it's self-service, dearTOTAL - 4 stars...fancy wheatfields result from complete allegiance to the chairmanRELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

Definitely not the best customer service, but damn do they make a good cake. If you're a fan of the super fluffy, fruit filled, not too sweet Asian style cakes, this is the spot. We ordered their famous Mango cake for my mom's bday and it was true perfection. The mangos were plenty and so beautifully placed. It wasn't too sweet and the sponge was fluffy as a cloud. The best part, imo is definitely how creamy their whipped filling is. They don't skimp on the mangos and the cake pleased the birthday girl. Would highly recommend ordering ahead of time. An 8 inch cake was about $40 and more than enough for 6 people.

This is my family's go to bakery in SF for Chinese baked goods. The service is no frills and surprisingly they take credit cards. Our go to baked items are the ham and egg sandwich, cocktail bun, mini muffins and the hot dog bun. Prices are very reasonable for today's prices. We also get our celebration cakes here as well and the fruit cakes are a major standout! We usually get the 8 inch mixed fruit cake which is very good. This latest time we preordered a 10 inch one which was ready in a huge box at pick up. We thought they maybe gave us the wrong cake or there was lots of empty space in the box. Boy were we wrong! The cake was huge and sooo beautifully decorated full of fresh cut mangoes, blue berries, strawberries, cantaloupe, kiwis and honeydew. We were amazed by how much fruit there was! We will definitely continue to come here for our cakes and baked goods!

It has delicious food! Just the front desk doe not look at who you are and talks in Chinese the amount to pay. It's ok thought. The soft food pays off for it! I will come back when I'm in the area.

Small bakery but filled with a variety of Chinese pastries! Fancy wheat field has multiple locations in San Francisco. I usually go to the one on San Bruno Ave which is the first store but I was closer to this location in the Sunset district this day. As this is ran by Chinese aunties that are a bit older in age with limited English speaking skills, you have to be patient. They are trying their best to help but do not expect them to fully answer any questions if you can't speak Chinese. There's a small language barrier but they are trying their best! I have never had an issue buying from them and I have been going for years! Grab what you want onto the tray and bring it up to pay. I believe it is cash only so be prepared! I absolutely love the egg tarts here, they are delicious! Must try if you are in the area. Workers are super sweet and they got me some new egg tarts from the back trays! Try this place out as I think they are much better than the other bakeries on the street!

Good bakery to check out if you're on Irving! Lots of selections of bread and cakes, my family usually picks up birthday cakes here!

Today I bought a pack of Winter Melon Pastries and one Coconut Custard Bun for a snack. It was so yummy. Service - pretty much the same - no improvement Bad :(

Please provide good customer service, very impolite! Not the first time, every time! Im sorry for the owner who hire her! Sad!

Cocktail buns are amazing! I don't live in SF any longer so every time I'm back, I bring home pastries and my entire family agreed that these buns are great!
