Comment: I always love a good affordable Chinese bakery, no matter where I go! The egg tarts ($2 each) were insanely thick, creamy, and hot out of the oven. Not the mention the crust was perfectly flaky and crispy!I also liked their fluffy sponge cakes (so soft and fluffy!) and a couple other of their cheap bread options. Definitely a great place to get some affordable yet high quality Chinese baked goods for breakfast or a snack, probably one of the best bakeries in SF Chinatown!

Comment: Small SF chinatown bakery with asian pastries, breads, and cakes. when i came, there was a line that took a long time because people were being helped very slowly.good variety of breads and pastries, but dont look the most fresh. reasonable prices. i paid with cash.// pineapple bun with red bean ($1.60) //good amount of red bean filling. pineapple bun is sweet and compliments red bean paste. decent portion size. i would have liked it if it the crust was a little crunchier because my bun was pretty soft/squishy. it also did not taste very fresh.

Comment: Delicious dim sum! Saw they were a part of SF restaurant week so I gave them a try. Their pork bun got my hooked- it had more filling than some of the other dim sum places in the area, and was only around $1.50. Their pineapple buns are perfect- not too sweet and they were just warm enough! (And for only $1 so of course I got a half dozen) Their egg custard has SUCH an amazing crust to it- if you’re a fan of custard give it a try!I went two days in a row, and the staff was polite and quick both trips. You can dine it but it’s a small space, so be mindful of this- especially on weekends.

Comment: AA Bakerys buns are top notch. Today I had their ham & egg bun $1.50 and a pork bun $1.50. The ham & egg bun is made with an actual fried egg. Most bakeries will use a steamed egg slice made with beaten eggs and water. Both buns tasted great with slight hint of sweetness. I got here after 6pm and was surprised they were still open. Good job staff at AA Bakery.

Comment: Super helpful staff. Really kind. Proper labeling on all the items. Night and day difference compared to the bakery across the street.Not to mention their food was scrum-diddly-umptious.Got the egg custard tart. Flaky crust. Custard was just right.Got the hot dog bun, because why not. Super tasty and not overcooked.Got the pineapple (named after the look, not the taste) custard bun. Delicious.Got the walnut cookie. Not my thing, but I have a voracious sweet tooth, and it was as sweet as Im used to, being from the sugar capital of the world, but I can see how it would be great for people.10/10

Comment: Working in the area and Ive been trying out all the various bakeries nearby. Out of all the ones Ive visited this one is by far my favorite. Decent prices for fresh delicious treats. My favorites so far are the Hotdog and Pork Bun, and the Pineapple Pork Bun. (Its like a Pork Bun mixed with a Conchea!) They dont skimp on the pork filling either compared to other places.

Comment: I hate to give 1 star to businesses - this was warranted. I don’t mind that there was only 1 cashier on a Saturday morning which caused a 15 minute wait. But not only was i overcharged for my bread, when I pointed it out after I paid, the cashier yelled at me and treated me like I was trying to scam her for 2 petty dollars. I did not want to put up with such attitude so I kept quiet and left. Bread was also greasy and soggy. Do yourself a favor and go over to Napoleon across the street instead. Much nicer and even cheaper.

Comment: Horrible service. My son and I waited in line with 2-3 people ahead of us (possibly 10+ minutes). Then no one was behind us for a little while. After the person in front of us was finishing up, 3 more customers entered the store. Instead of helping us next, whoever was at the cash register decided to help the lady who was demanding service in Chinese (my son and I dont speak Cantonese nor Mandarin) so I was trying to get the cashier ladys attention that I had been waiting patiently and SHE JUST IGNORED ME! I will NEVER return to this business and tell all my friends how they treat non Chinese speaking/looking customers! AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!

Comment: Be aware!If they give your buns in a box, check the contents. I was told $13 for supposed to be $10.So I opened it in front of her, checked it immediately, and found she put two more buns than I ordered.I asked her to remove those two extra buns, but she refused and said that its already in the box, you cant have a box, the total is $13, etc. Umm, what?After I insisted, she finally removed some buns from the box, bring the calculator, and told me $11.50. I opened the box and found the extra bun still in it, so told her again to remove it, and she started yelling at me again and saying no box. Come again!?I dont care about the box from the beginning, I didnt ask for it. So she finally put everything in plastic bags and grabbed my $7 change and gave me back the $10 bill. Phew~!I normally buy 2 to 3 buns, but I didnt see many people and volunteered to buy more buns today so that they can close the store sooner.Its my mistake. Ill go back to buy 2 to 3 buns again.

Comment: Golden gate bakery? Closed 50% of the time and you’ll probably have to wait if not. Good mong kok? It’s open but if golden gate is closed it’s a huge wait. AA on the other hand? Always solid, no wait. It’s the like the girl you knew you’d always end up with and always will be there for you.They may not be the sexiest and most revered bake shop in Chinatown with the dankest treats, but they are a model of consistency and quality. That’s a five star in my book.

Comment: The lady taking my order was honestly kind of rude as I was telling her which desert I wanted. I tried to ignore that but besides that, their crepe cake was horrible. It tasted like plastic I couldn’t even eat it, and their tiramisu cake was also very dry as if the foods been there for a few days now. Overall I don’t think I’d come back here.

Comment: Looking for pork buns? custard cups? cream pastry? This is the place to go.We travel here all the way from the mid peninsula to get our boxes of pastry, well worth the drive. Their bakery food is delicious and priced right. Service is geared towards the Chinese speaking - but be assertive and you will be fine.

Comment: Over-rated. The cakes and pastries are rather sloppily done, to be honest. They dont taste exceptional and prices are not that great either. $3.75 for a slice of not-so-delicately decorated cake? Nah. Not to mention the egg tarts ($1.50) a piece which werent impressive at all.

Comment: I went to AA Bakery to order a birthday cake. I specifically ordered a strawberry shortcake- ONLY strawberries, for which I was told cost extra. When I cut the cake at the party last night it had a few strawberries, canned pineapple and honeydew. NOT WHAT I ORDERED AND PAID EXTRA FOR. So disappointing. You had ONE JOB...

The cake was beautifully decorated too. I definitely recommend this place. I want to try the other pastries here in the near future when I get a chance. So if you are in the area and near this address then give this bakery a try.

Comment: Bait & SwitchWill never buy anything from them again.Was a regular customer of their dim sum, tarts and other baked good. It was always good. Have always like it, as they were no different from the other bakeries in chinatown.Today, i needed a cake at the last minute. Found a beautiful green tea mousse cake topped with strawberries, kiwi and mango. The lady at the counter took the cake I selected and said shell put a birthday card on top of it.I said sure thinking shell put a card with the cake and box it.She disappeared.I waited and waited. When she reappear, the fruit top changed. I asked her why, and she said they wanted to make it more beautiful. She was full of it, but I didnt have time to argue over it.Now that we have the cake out of the box, I realized that she replace the mango for canned pears. Very disappointed.And the green tea mousse did not taste like tea nor had texture of mousse. Not going to waste my time or breath bringing back for exchange as I fully expect them to be very argumentative.But definitely not coming back again. For anything.

I saw them pull the large round Chinese donuts out fresh and steaming so I got one of those and it was the best thing ever. I got one the next day but it wasnt hot so not as good. If you see those steaming, get them. Other things that are good are the count cream donuts, the Walnut cookies and the long onion bread.

Its just sweet.There are also things that look like cooked bread, things that look like sweet breads, cakes such as tiramisu, birthday cakes, fruit tarts, etc.There are many types.If you wait idly, you will be robbed, so please be careful.Priority will be given to those who speak Chinese.Dont expect great service, the prices are cheap.

Comment: This bakery is surely happening! I walked in here on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed with customers. It is an old school bakery with old school pastries such as pineapple bun, BBQ pork bun, jelly rolls, etc. I was here to get some buns for my son so I ordered a few variety including BBQ pork bun, Pineapple Bun and Scallion Pork bun.Their pineapple bun is alright. The top isnt as crusty as I have had before from Wonder Bakery in Oakland. The Pork Bun is good because you can see actual pork and gravy but it is kind of skimp. The Scallion Pork bun is surprisingly good.Overall, the buns here are good and very inexpensive at about 90 cents a piece. I am still on the hunt for the best bakery in SF Chinatown!

Comment: The egg tarts here are really awesome. Not Golden Gate Bakery good, but considering you dont have to stand in line here and they cost $1, theyre worth the tradeoff. Ill definitely be back.The crust was awesomely flaky and buttery. I made such a mess eating my egg tart as the crust was flaking everywhere, but in the best way. The custard was the perfect consistency, a little sweeter on the top than through the rest, but not cloyingly sweet in any way whatsoever. The egg to crust proportion was also on point, at least for me. My father thought there was too much egg to crust, but I prefer the savory flavor of the egg to the sweet butteriness of the crust, so I thought it was the perfect ratio. These are not small egg tarts, either.Overall, a definite winner. Id love to come back here and try some of their other pastries as well.
