Elite Bakery

Several years ago, prior to C0v!d, Kristina F recommended Elite Bakery when I visited the Bay Area. I could never come because I have been landing at San Jose Airport and going to see families in South Bay. But last weekend, I purposely landed in Oakland and got a chance to visit Union City and Elite Bakery. Not knowing the staff shortage and food has to be preordered by phone as most of food required 15-20 minutes to cook. I ordered some Filipino breads to take home and cupcakes for the moment while driving back to my hotel room. Everything was so delicious. I'll be back to try other items that require to call ahead.

I needed a cake last minute for my dad's birthday. He likes Guava cake and I was able to order one from this place 1 day before our party. That was really awesome that they were able to do it on such short notice. Also I had some unexpected guests and needed a bigger cake the day of and they were able to pull that off and upgrade to a bigger cake at the pick up. Nobody does that!!! Huge thanks to this bakery for doing that for us. I have to add they are very friendly it seems like that is hard to come by these days. The bakery is clean and in a decent location. The cake was so nice and delicious!! Everyone loved it!! We were very happy and will definitely be back and also have already recommend this place to our friends.

This place has the best chiffon cakes and cupcakes! They have guava, ube, mango, pandan and many more. I ordered 8" guava cake ($46). It is airy and not too sweet how we all liked it! ! Cake has the right amount of fluffiness and whipped cream frosting. It was delicious and a hit at the party. They have a display of cupcakes to purchase on the spot too.

This is one of my favorite places for a cake. I just cannot seem to never get enough of their Ube/Taro Cake. Grace and the whole staff is always super awesome. They never get my orders incorrect especially considering I order here every year for my birthday cake if Ube / Taro. Their cakes is phenomenal. If you love chiffon and light fluffy then this is the place to go because you never feel heavy even after eating 1 piece of cake. They also offer so many other options of flavors such as red velvet, pandan, mango, coconut and sell them as cupcakes. So many pastries inside to choose from. I am a forever fan and will continue to order my cakes here every year. Just ordered my hubby his ube cake here for his bday a few days ago. We love it!! Please support.

Back in December, I got a box of guava cupcakes and pandan cupcakes for my get together with my bestie. Staff there were very nice and friendly. They gave me free lightbulb ring toppers on my cupcakes, which was very cute. It was first time trying this place, and I love it.The guava cupcakes were sweet and a slight tang with a pleasant guava flavor. The icing was fluffy and perfectly sweet. The cake part was moist and yummy. Pandan was also a good flavor as well. Light sweetness. I would definitely return again the next time I want to get some cupcakes! :)

I ordered the 8" round at 4.5" tall red velvet with chocolate custard filling cake (standard cake) for my mom's birthday because that's what she wanted. I was advised when I reached out by email that standard cakes need to be ordered at least 4 days in advanced and paid upfront. I ended up paying over the phone.I was a little hesitant as there weren't any red velvet cake reviews on here (if any). Once I took my bite, all of my doubts disappeared because it was delicious! The cake is rich and a bit on the heavier side so this cake can go a long way with a small slice. It was frosted with whipped cream making it a nice balance to the richness on the inside. What a delicious cake!Service was alright, I arrived around 9:45 am on a Sunday and no one was there to greet me. They do have a bell for you to ring, but it would have been nice to be greeted by a friendly face. It shows that even the people at the front put in work in the back. When worker came out, she helped me pick up my cake and rang me up. Note: if you want a custom cake, you need to place your order 2 weeks in advance and pay first. Still highly recommend!

Got 3 different cupcakes:Mango cupcake: really me. Both myself and my wife loved it. It's moist and has a good mango flavor and this was 2 days after purchase. Guava cupcake: this was our second favorite had a nice guava flavor. However, my wife is not a guava person. Vanilla cupcake : this was good. It's run by a family who takes pride in their bakery items and their service. It's a small place. Top notch overall.

I highly recommend this bakery. They have been here for years. They always have great customer service. I ordered the guava cake a week before. I think for any cake, you must ordered a couple days before. They do have cupcakes in the bakery. There is plenty of parking. I came in to get my cake and it was ready. It was for my son's party. Everyone loved it! Thank you!

Tbh the cake was ok. To be fair maybe chocolate cake isn't their specialty? They were able to fit in my last minute cake request (next day pick up). I ordered a 6" round chocolate cake with fresh fruit filling. The cake was pretty, but it was dry. I had a bite of it the next day and decided to just throw the rest out. I do want to add that the bakery staff was pleasant and the inside of the bakery was clean. I do appreciate them fitting my order in but I was disappointed in the cake.

Yummy cupcakes and Chamorro food in the city next door! Thank you to my girl, Rae, for taking me here!
