Went with my daughter Sonia to pick up 3 cakes for my Great Grand Children!
Nice simple bakery. The cake has a very nice classic look with the whip cream and almonds on the side. They are currently cash only.
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!!!
We had an eclair and shared a piece of strawberry cake. We don't have photos because we gobbled it down. You can't sit inside anymore (COVID response, I assume).
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.
As someone who grew up with cakes from Phoenix Bakery, I gotta say todays cake was definitely not the same quality. Cake was extremely dry and the cream seemed curdled. My experience here was not pleasant as well. One of the ladies working here seemed was very unfriendly and seemed bothered. I just hope I caught them on a bad day. I went to leave this comment on Yelp and saw a similar experience as mine just a few hours before my entrance. I will return and I am hoping this day was just a fluke.
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
Excellent tres leches cake!!! Almond cookies are a must try. All their baked goods are excellent. Expect to wait in line. Only 5 people are allowed in at a time. It's a short walk from the plaza.
The declares are out of this world and I love that they practice custom safety.❤️??❤️
Have been coming here for almost 30 years...China Town for 50! Always went to Hop Louie's first...was brokenhearted when I found out they closed...wish I had "stolen" a plate when last there with my kids...I'm sure they would have gave me one. I still go to Phoenix when I'm in the area because their cakes are amazing! Light, not too sweet...fluffy and yummy...dang it! Thank you Phoenix Bakery for keep the memories alive and for your making China Town feel like home!
