I literally go here for the specialty bread. It's one of the best baked goods I've ever had and I don't think I've ever come across any other bakeries that can replicate this
Excellent old school Asian bakery filled with all the classics such as puff pastry, taro toast, coconut bread, etc. Inside the GW market, the lot gets very busy on the weekends and parking is scarce. Bakery itself is fantastic and assortment is also great. The only downside is that the bakery is cash only. Service is excellent and inside of the bakery gives you that old school feel.
This bakery always has the most moist cake and it's never too sweet We been coming to this bakery for over 20ys they never fail
Love their cakes. Never a wait inside the bakery. The bakery itself is located inside the grocery store at the very front. They always take the time to carefully package my cake and offer candles and free happy birthday or happy holiday signs for the cakes free of charge. Only downside is that they are cash only so come prepared.
I come to this bakery off, & on for over a decade! Only to get last minute birthday cakes. Preferably Taro being my personal favorite if it happened to be for my birthday! Which was what I got this year the day after last minute cravings. Price definitely went up just like everything else, but it still affordable @ $38. I got my usual Taro cake, & it didn't disappoint I was very happy, & satisfied with my choice. Fresh, & not overly sweet like American cakes. I don't recommend trying to place fancy cake orders.
Been coming here since I was a kid! Located in the inside the GW supermarket with plenty of parking in the plaza. Whenever I'm in the area, I love picking up their cake rolls because they make very unique flavors I don't really see often in other Asian bakeries. My favorite flavor is the lemon one! The cake part is basically sponge cake - tastes very moist, soft, and fluffy & the inner cream part - is a subtle layer of lemon flavored icing that isn't too overpowering or sweet 10/10! CASH ONLY!
Tanbii is located inside the GW Market plaza. They sell all kinds of traditional Chinese baked goods and cakes. I went into pick up a Chinese cupcake but walked out with a few more things: coconut buns, taro buns, sponge cake, egg tarts and curry pies. Overall the baked items are good, especially the coconut buns. However I would pass on the egg tarts and sponge cake. The sponge cake was so dry, and the egg tart has a strange taste to it, like dirty water or dirty oil? I can't put my finger on it. It's made with a firm shortbread-like crust, rather than the flaky crust I am used to. I ended up tossing it because I didn't want to risk food poisoning. Overall a good place to satisfy your Chinese carb cravings!
