The 12 Best Chinese Bakeries In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"There’s always a line at Golden Gate Bakery, but the egg custard tarts, with their flaky crusts and jiggly fillings, are well worth the wait. Their other pastry selections are also excellent—especially the mooncakes, which come in a variety of flavors including white lotus seed, winter melon, and mixed nuts with ham. Keep in mind that the hours at this Chinatown bakery can be unpredictable—it can sometimes close without notice for days or even weeks at a time. It's best to call ahead and hope someone picks up." - megan zhang, julia chen 1, patrick wong
