Sunmerry Bakery

This is my go to Sunmerry. I love the staff's friendliness, Angie is always so sweet and patient when helping me decide. I particularly love this bakery's version of the chocolate concha's. Not your authentic Mexican concha, however still yummy, as they are filled with hazelnut cream
Their egg tarts are good as well.
Customer area is always clean. It's a self serve bakery (except for the cakes and drinks). The bread is individually sealed or wrapped and trays with tongs are provided.

-This bakery is so expensive!! $3 for a croissant where a competitors croissant is $2.10
-The brioche is $3.50 here, the competitor charges $2.80
-The bread is alright
-The location is really convenient since it's on Las Tunas
-There's underground parking

They have the most delicious and different desserts. The desserts are not sugary but just enough of sweetness. Great assortment of baked pastries. Very clean and good
service. Very cute decorations on
the cakes.

I came here on a Friday night and it wasn't crowded at all. The matcha tiramisu caught my eye and had high hopes.. but it's not very tiramisu-y, more like dry cake with a little bit of cream in between layers. The hokaido cream cake was a bit better but also kind of dry. I've gone to Sunmerry multiple times to try their pastries and cakes, but they're always a bit disappointing :( the staff seems nice though.

Such a fun Chinese bakery full of goodies! The items look super tasty and would rival the 85 degrees shops!

Got the almond croissant, strawberry mochi donut, and sliced white bread. Enjoyed all of it.

Small bakery, similar to 85C, located in the Camellia Square plaza on Rosemead and Las Tunas. The plaza has many restaurants so it gets crowded and parking can be difficult. There is additional parking available in an underground lot.

I must have popped in right after the morning crowd because nearly half of the bread/pastry shelves were empty. I managed to grab a couple savory breads, a couple sweet breads, and one of their beautifully made moon cakes.

Service was ok. Nothing stood out. I wasn't greeted or helped in any way. Which is fine for a grab and go style bakery.

We pre-ordered a cake for pick up, which was quick and seamless. We ordered the Matcha Tiramisu ($38), which was great for our party of 12 people. The matcha flavor is balanced well for a creamy texture. They also topped it with an adorable white chocolate bear, which isn't hollow inside.

I also liked how they included a happy birthday sign, candles (these were nice candles too, not the cheap basic kind), and plates/utensils. Definitely recommend coming here to get your birthday and celebration cakes!

Oh No the white toast now is Hard hard hard
Not soft not soft not soft
No milk flavor at all
Disappointing

This is where they failed.

Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1986 with your 12+ locations. Starting in Japan, then to Taiwan in 1986.

This location is conveniently located in a plaza with some good restaurants. The store is not super big and they do run out quick. If you come in late in the day, most of the good items are gone. The employees here are nice. In all honesty, this is a pretty typical Asian bakery similar to 85 Degrees. The baed goods are just ok. Nothing here really wowed me though.
