Kee Wah Bakery

Mom needed bread so we checked this place out. Located in the San Gabriel Square, this tiny store is packed with lots of goodies. I always buy their handmade almond cookies and red bean swirl bun, so I made sure I got some. They also have moon cakes. Inside, the store is well-lighted, with regular noise level. The breads and pastries were arranged neatly, but the aisles are tight, you can’t walk freely in case you bump into another customer or the food items. There is no dine-in section, so this is purely a to-go store. You pick up a tray and select your pastries then pay up front.

There's no real atmosphere because it's not a sit down place. It's a bakery where you pick up your items, pay, and leave. There are no tables and chairs to sit at. The bakery items are all Hong Kong style bakery items like pineapple buns, sponge cake wrapped in paper, breads, pastries, moon cakes, and other goodies.

Limited selection of fresh baked goods on walk in, but lots available by special order. Thankfully they seem to always have the egg tarts, Portuguese included, available. Very well done. They also have a great selection of gift boxes of cookies and other treats.

With special thanks to the dedicated and courteous employees (Lily, Susan, Sammi, Vicky, etc.) at Kee Wah Bakery (150 W Valley Blvd, San Gabriel, California) – 400 Dowry Cakes were carefully packaged and swiftly loaded onto the SUV. I was very impressed by their work ethic and professionalism at this store, and of course, their world-famous Hong Kong style bakery, pastries, snacks, and custom cakes.

Best egg tart around for over 20 years for sure. The crispy egg tart are my favorite
