Review from Linda C.

I remember coming here when I was in middle school for the $1.75 boba milk tea because it was the only place we knew of to get boba.
I always find myself coming here for the shredded pork buns! It's the best place to get some in Rosemead in my opinion! -

i decided to try this place after reading many positive reviews.. beh, how i was regret coming to this place.
upon entering the store, i was not welcomed or greeted by anyone. the young lady that came out from the kitchen was just staring at me. so i decided to just take the bread i want and pay and leave. upon paying at the cashier, this grumpy young woman wasnt even smiling or anything. she was so gloomy, rude and really grumpy. i was thinking that she should just close the store for the day if she doesnt feel like serving customers. i was planning to try their cakes too but upon seeing her foul mood, i didnt feel like eating their cakes anymore.
anyways, after trying their breads (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) i would say that their bread taste like any other chinese bakeries. there was nothing special about their bread. the texture of the bread is more on the dry side and not so moist. i dont really like the custard topped with coconut powder, it taste weird and there wasnt many custard on top. mostly bread!! their regular custard bread was okay, its a little bit too thick though. taro bread was also so so. ive definitely had better and so far i like tanbii bakery or jj bakery taro bread the best. their egg tart was flaky and pretty good. regardless, unless they improve their service, i would rather go to another bakery than coming here to buy breads. -

Everytime I come here, there's no boba. ) : I always get their fluffy muffin things with the almonds on top. It's so yummy! Their tuna buns are really good too. ( : Oh, & their cream puffs! MM!

LIFE SAVER!
I normally BUY birthday cakes at Sunny Bakery because they have very good Durian Cake for $15 bucks. Except for that one Wednesday morning which happens to be my Boyfriends' Birthday and Sunny Bakery was CLOSED on Wednesdays. I was in a complete panic, not knowing where else to go and I didn't exactly have a back-up plan. So I pulled out my handy-dandy phone and searched on Yelp for the next best thing! I called all over the place, but many of the shop did not have Durian cake and those that Do were too costly.
Finally I called Amor Bakery and they were my Savior! It took only 30minutes for a freshly made 6'' durian cake which cost $17.50. My BOyfriend said they used actual chunks of fresh durian in their cakes instead of just an overload of cream with small amount of durian. I couldn't thank them enough! -

Oh the smell of sweet breads and how my mouth waters.
This place makes cakes for all occasions, sweet breads and sweet breads with meat, as well as individual sweet treats.
Some of my favorite treats are:
-Milky Pineapple Bun
-Hot dog sweet bread with cheese
-Custard sweet bread
Although simple, they're so tasty.
There's something with this bread that makes it addicting and coming back for more.
-The hot dog with the cheese, it's simple to make, but it's cutely made in quarters with little hot dog chunks.
-The milk bun has that milky taste, which is also sweet. It keeps looking different each time I purchase it, but my most favorite form is when it comes with this sugary top (kind of like a Mexican bun).
- The custard isn't overly sweet and it's light and creamy. It comes topped with some shredded coconut.
The only thing is that each time I come here, the prices keep increasing. I remember that they used to be as low as .50 or .60, now for my precious, fluffy, and delicious milk bun, it costs $1.15. As the price increases, I only purchase when the need is dire. -

I felt this place was a little getto..lol
super small store with ok looking cakes...lol
i didn't have a very good impression.. (the atmosphere was like....joke.. compared to other bakeries)
but I needed something to eat for my study!!
so I got a pineapple bun and a bag of cookie..
Wow!
the "PINEAPPLE BUN" was really good, I was very impressed.lol
crispy and decent.
(I went like 6-7 bakeries to compare their pineapple bun, so I know what I am talking about..lol)
the cookie i got was a little too sweet to be honest, but it was edible..lol
I'll come back to this place again to try some other stuff!
Sorry I judged by the look.. but this place rock! -

I just had a milky cream bun and it is super yummy, buttery and soft. I really wanted to buy the walnut cookie too but I didn't have a lot of money. Decent prices. I hope to return soon!
4/8/11 I went back and attacked their sponge cake. It was so BIG, soft and delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more of their great bread! -

NOTE: this review is based solely on the pineapple bread
this is THE place to get pineapple bread
I've tried a lot of different pineapple breads from a lot of odifferent asian bakeries, and none of them come close to the pineapple bread at Amor Bakery, NOT EVEN CLOSE!
the pineapple bread here has a fluffy crust and is crispiest when freshly made, but even when it's become softer the pineapple bread here is still far superior to the others
one minus is that the pineapple bread here is more expensive than the ones at other bakeries ($1 compared to around 85 cents), but it is totally worth the extra 15 cents
they have both the individual pineapple buns here, as well as the pineapple bread loaf, both of which I highly recommend
if you're a fan of those asian pineapple breads, this is the place to get it! -

We got our wedding cake at Amor Bakery few weeks ago. I couldn't wait long to write this review for them.
Here are the specs of our cake:
3 tier square white fondant cake with chocolate floral piping design
There are a lot of flavor to choose from: chocolate, tiramisu, mango moose, valet, Napoleon, strawberry you name it.
We got Tiramisu, mango moose and velvet flavors for 125 guests. The total cost is ONLY $250!! (which included delivery charge from rosemead to Malibu!!)
How good is the cake?
My fiance (now my wife) and I went for the cake tasting. We had one slice of each flavor. While my wife was talking to the owner, I was able to finish eating all the pieces in less than a minute!! That tells you how good they taste.
Tiramisu is our favorite. We set it as the bottom layer and all the guests love it!
Tommy (the owner) is SUPER nice. All I did was providing him few pictures, and told him the design that I wanted and he was able to generate it!
I went there so far advance to reserve it worrying that they require a lot of time for booking. But it turns out I was only required to pay the full amount few days before the wedding and it's all set.
One little tip is we have a LOT of cake left over (almost half a cake). It probably because our guests were stuffed up from the wedding buffet. If I have to order again, I would probably go a little under the actual guest count.
Amor Bakery is awesome and I would highly recommend it to any other brides/groom-to-be! -

I am very pleased with the color sage on the cake. They were able to accommodate and fix up a devils chocolate cake with chocolate filling on this wedding cake.
However, when the cake was delivered to the location there were dusty, silk flower all over the cake. Needless to say, my florist and friend Anne had to take it all down and replace them these gorgeous roses, orchids and twigs.
Despite the face to face confirmation, the email confirmation and the double checking of all the details, they still had the details wrong. I can't say I'm going back especially for important occasions.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Justin L.

First off, I have to mention that the only thing I ever get here is tiramisu, which is absolutely delicious. Though the presentation could be neater and prettier, especially when it comes to cakes. But I honestly don't mind because the moist texture of the expresso-soaked cake is to die for. It's delicately sweet and the cream is fluffy and an honest joy for your taste buds to soak.
If you're looking for affordable and tasty tiramisu, this is the place to go, for sure. :) -

Based on other reviews, I bought the mango cake for a birthday. It was light and delicious. Really impressed the birthday girl.

A Chinese bakery that offers birthday cakes, small cakes, Chinese breads, buns, and pastries. I wouldn't recommend this bakery for birthday cakes though. The texture of the cake isn't as fine as cakes from other Chinese bakeries (the cakes here are a bit crumbly) and the cakes look a little...messy. I don't think the bakers here seem to have that much experience in baking and decorating cakes, but then again maybe years of experience will result in better cakes. I give this place four stars because it's cheap and their tiramisu is pretty good. I recommend their tiramisu, napoleons, and Chinese umbrella cookies.

Good selection of cakes by the slice and breads. Used to come here to get cakes, the umbrella cookies, and the napoleon (the napoleons are great if you don't mind a guilt trip once in a while!). The curry pasties are good, and the egg tarts are delicious and hot. The bakery makes pretty cakes for different holidays/occasions..sometimes I find they have too much frosting though..

I have to say, they have THE BEST mango cake... EVER.
Usually, cakes are overwhelmingly sweet, but this is perfect if you're not too crazed about sugar. The name of the cake is eluding me but it's basically a cake covered (...and i mean covered) in slices of mango with assorted fruits on top. You can't miss it if it's on display and I'm sure if you ask them, they'll know what cake you're talking about.
Best of all, I called in just yesterday to tell them I needed a cake and would probably get there after their closing time (8 pm). They were very nice and said this wouldn't be a problem.
Not only are their cakes good, but they're very, very pretty.
