Taiwanese Chain Sunmerry Bakery Opens in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"I learned that Sunmerry Bakery, a household name in Taiwan established almost 40 years ago, has opened its first San Diego storefront in the Village at Mira Mesa shopping center (across from Panda Express), operating daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The chain — which began U.S. expansion in 2015 and now runs stores in California and New Jersey — is known for a vast selection of breads, pastries, and desserts that highlight Japanese and Taiwanese specialties, including pineapple cakes and bolo buns flavored with barbecue pork or Nutella, as well as egg tarts, Hokkaido cream cakes, caramel pudding, and brioche doughnuts filled with black sesame custard. They also make special-occasion cakes such as matcha tiramisu, Japanese cheesecake, and mango mousse cake, and the Mira Mesa menu includes drinks from boba Thai iced tea and salted cream milk tea to matcha lattes, taro smoothies, and strawberry milk; for a limited time that location is offering 10 percent off all purchases, including drinks." - Candice Woo
