French-inspired Asian American bakery with unique viennoiseries
"This new bakery in Rockridge opened a couple of weeks ago, and draws on Asian and French flavors to make pastries like ube snickerdoodles, strawberry Pocky cruffins, matcha cookies with White Rabbit candy, and more. They’re currently open on weekends from 11am-4pm for pre-orders and walk ups." - julia chen 1
"I picked up a box of Lunar New Year pastries and practically inhaled a subtly sweet hojicha financier and a stunning black sesame toasted-rice éclair; my favorite was a thin, soft strawberry White Rabbit cookie that balanced tart freeze-dried strawberries with milky white chocolate — the pastries were technically impressive and perfect for cozying up by a fire after a cold-market morning." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Sunday Bakeshop is offering a Lunar New Year pastry box (with $5 from each box going to local businesses affected by the storm) containing eight pastries such as a char siew pastry puff, nian gao (new year's cake), a che ba mau twice-bake croissant, and a strawberry White Rabbit cookie; they also offer an 8-inch matcha mango tart and a 9-inch nian gao, with pre-orders available on Hotplate and pickups at their Oakland bakeshop and Neighbor Bakehouse in San Francisco." - Dianne de Guzman
"We love a buttery croissant, but sometimes they can get, dare we say, boring? Luckily, there are places like Sunday Bakeshop. The Asian American and French bakery in Oakland from the Sunday Gather folks is doing creative things with one of our favorite pastries—filling them with sweet and savory ingredients like chocolate hojicha or sweet pineapple pork sausage and furikake, or corn cheese (yes, corn cheese—the incredible stuff you’ve probably scarfed down at your local Korean BBQ spot while half tipsy on soju). But Sunday Bakeshop is so much more. Incredibly moist cookies made with White Rabbit candy, sweetened bean paste, or ube, cruffins with strawberry Pocky, and other treats inspired by Asian snacks will stare back at you from behind a well-lit glass case." - Lani Conway
"For a full-on pastry extravaganza, Sunday Bakeshop’s Lunar New Year Pastry Box includes a springy slice of nian gao, a crumbly matcha citrus tart, pineapple Basque cake, a sticky spekkoek-spiced pull-apart, and more; pre-orders are open online now and $5 from every $45 box goes to Chefs Stopping AAPI Hate." - Lauren Saria
