If I cheat on my diet it is more likely Iwill indulge my sweet tooth. And if I go anywhere near Chinatown I head straight to Phoenix bakery. It hard to pass up the butterflys. Crispy wonton fried and covered in a honey glaze that surpringly is not too sweet. It more refreshing than anything. Hopefully, in a coming visit I can add Mooncakes to my order.
Had my first Phoenix cake for my 16th birthday in 1998 and to this day, still blown away by the delicious simplicity. No kimchi siracha cupcakes here, just cake/cream/strawberry perfection.
The cream is so so so delicious, tastes so fresh and delectable. Almond cookies, pork buns, lotus pastry, and cake were all exceptional. The taste and texture of the almond cookies are iconic and make great gifts for those out of state. The lotus pastry melts in your mouth and are 20% larger/taller than you often see in other bakeries. The char sui pork buns and pepperoni jalapeño buns are substantial and make an excellent alternative to bringing in donuts for coworkers. The cake sponge is on the drier side and balances the generous abundance of cream. Overall everything is delicious and the customer service is excellent
I grew up with my Aunt getting the Strawberry Cream Cakes (with Almonds) for every celebration possible. I moved away but while visiting I had to stop in! I love that they sell the slices especially since I fly out tomorrow. So fresh and delicious 😋 they have not changed a thing and I love it! ❤ Thank you Phoenix bakery for keeping traditions alive!
Cakes here are delicious but the line is crazy. Come during the week I'm told. Parking is limited. Order ahead. Must wear a mask. They limit how many people are inside.
Absolutely delicious. They are known for their sponge cake with strawberries, whipped cream, and almonds. They have plenty if you just walk in and they will write on it. However, if you need it without nuts you need to order ahead. They also have lots of other great pastries both sweet and savory. Parking can be tough so grab a meter as soon as you see one.
I was recommended this place by my aunt.
Place has the best baked char siu bao ($3.95) I have had in a decades. Where I live the buns made there do not have that caramelization on top of the bun, nor do they put a significant amount of meat in them. These buns are stuffed fully.
I was so excited about these that I order all they had on hand (18).
Oh the birthday cakes look nice too.
Please wait your turn inside. I am confirming at this time only five partons can be in the building.

Growing up in LA we would come to Chinatown often and most every time, my dad would buy us a delicious treat at this sweet staple! I stopped by this weekend and so happy to see that nothing has changed as far as their delicious pastries and those ALMOND cookies!!! Yumm!!! We had a slice of their classic strawberry cake (that cream, just as light and yummy as I remember) and of course the cookies. They had strict covid protocols fir the safety of all and the service was friendly and quick. Love this bakery!!!
