Probably known and rated as the first widely popular Chinese bakery in Los Angeles' Chinatown. This old-school favorite is just one of the best places to get that simple Asian sponge cake creation. Either out of the case or a special order, they will accommodate with a well-loved cake, light and airy with simple whipped cream. Personally, far better than any supermarket cake available. Pick your favorite fruit toppings, and you'll please your party, and you'll appreciate the value. Other Chinese favorite bakery items are available too. From Almond cookies to pastries, everything is good. Parking can be difficult as street metered parking is Chinatown crazy. There are a couple of parking spots in front of the bakery if luck is on your side. There is an alley adjacent to the bakery if you know what you are doing or are bold enough. Run by a second generation of folks and bakers who have been doing a great job for decades, it is never disappointing here. I hope the goodness remains here for more generations to come to enjoy. I know I have.
A wonderful and fun bakery in the heart of Chinatown. Love the design and vibes, but also the cookies and cake! Nothing super special other than a fun bakery in this area. Good prices and all. I think i wouldn't place it at any top favorite bakery of mine here in LA, but one i won't say no to either.
My family and I have been eating birthday cakes from the Phoenix Bakery since I can remember. My personal favorite is the strawberry cake of course. I stopped by today and got this, can't remember the name though. So get here ASAP and get yourself some!. Highly recommended!.
This bakery has been a staple in my life since infancy and I'm so happy they're still around. Known for their cakes crusted in thin-sliced almonds, the cakes aren't overly sweet but instead light and airy. I still order from them for birthdays and they've maintained the same service and quality for decades. I highly recommend stopping by for a slice (or a whole cake!) of their fresh strawberry and creme. Their cookies and other small desserts and amazing too, you just can't go wrong. Wonderful, friendly staff too!
Very cool store! Saw Phoenix Bakery the news and came by, 100% worth the trip! 🎂 the cakes were tasty yet not too sweet! Saying that, I give it my highest compliment. They put thoughts into the texture for sure, it looked plain but 10/10 on the exquisite texture and after taste. 🧑🍳 The staff packed the slices so nicely! 🚙 there is a small area where you can park 👍🏽 love it
