Uncle Chuang’s Bakery

LOVE IT! Not only are the pastries sweet but also the workers, such great first experience, highly recommend, we got a free drink after spending more than $12 of the choice of coffee or and ice tea that was delicious. All the cakes are great and cute. Their snacks are super good, Great place for a quick pick of pastries. Such a great experience that made me want to show some support!

I wanted a cheesecake for a family member's birthday and did some searching online. There were lots of really positive comments about Uncle Chuang's cheesecake, so I decided to get one. The cheesecake itself was excellent. I would confidently bet it's the best one you can buy for miles. The service was really friendly and the atmosphere and selection of other items made me want to come back. I highly recommend checking this place out.

I came here because I was craving something sweet. This little bakery was really cool. They had great options for sweet bread and it was really good. Definitely worth going. Everything was stocked and it wasn't busy at all. Check it out ! We got the pineapple bread and the red bean bun both were delicious.

Cristian always provides us with a friendly service, excellent flavor, variety.

My wife loved the tiramisu cake we got her, says best one in a long time from this place. Delicious mocha taste, bread soft and sweet. We are coming back for another cake.

I have been coming here since I was in college and would love to get all my snacks here. They have cookies, sweet & savory pastries, toast, rolled cakes, tiramisu, moon cakes, sandwiches and so much more. My favorite is the strawberry heart shape chocolate dip cookies and the ham & cheese Danish. You can also get a free drink if you spend $12. The green tea is strong and sweet so you get a little rush from it. I always make sure to get extra treats to share with my friends & family.

Super crowded on the weekend! For a good reason. Their bakery items and cakes are superb. I am guessing there isn't a lot of competition nearby so it's often crowded.

If you are looking for delicious pastries and amazing cakes, come here!!! The breads are freshly made, the staff is very helpful and the prices are reasonable.

Uncle Chuang's has been one of my favorite bakeries for years now. Staff is friendly. The inside is clean and well-organized. It's a grab-and-go type situation, so there isn't any seating. There are trays at the entrance, so you just take one, pile on your selections, and take them to the counter to check out. No restroom. Parking is easy since they are located in the University Village shopping plaza. It is a ticketed lot, but you can get a few hours free with validation. It can feel crowded when they're busy because it's a small shop, but the noise level stays relatively mild. They have a good variety of refrigerated and non-refrigerated options, as well as both sweet and savory items. There are some limited drink options as well. The cold sandwiches and pork sung spam musubi are so good! Get there early if you want to try them because they do sell out frequently. I also highly recommend the fruit sponge cakes and honey cakes. Prices are fair. 10/10 recommend.

Food: Asian bakery closest to where I live, which is loma linda area, good choices overall, got cookies and pastries to share with friends. Matcha cheesecake was exceptionally good and not too sweet (which is the highest compliment an Asian person can give lol). Got the free iced tea (offered to those who spend more than $12), but it had way too much sweetener inside, and seemed like it's been sitting out for a long time Price: about $2-4 ish for each piece, good value Ambiance: small interior, no place to sit down, grab and go kind of place Service: nice friendly, no issues here Parking: ample huge parking lot, you do have to grab a ticket to park, but first 90 minutes is free, no need for validation

Love stopping by here whenever I'm in the area for some nice breads and pastries. I love that they haven't inflated the prices like other major chain bakeries. Very cozy place with enough assortments of sweets/savory items. My favorite is anything with the pork floss. They also have delicious rolled cakes that are always so tempting! With every purchase over I believe $12 you get a complementary tea and it's refreshing and delicious. Worth a stop if you want to stock up or share. All the staff I have ran into are nice. Parking is free (up to a certain hour, I can't remember).

All the bread stuff here tastes almost exactly the same. Believe it or not, the croissants here have the same taste and texture as the pineapple buns. In addition, neither were yummy. However, I gave this place 2 stars rather than one star because the price is low and the Almond Crunch Cookie was delicious. The free iced tea with a certain amount of food purchased was delicious but way too sweet.

I saw this place on Instagram. I happen to be in the area and finally got to try it. I am so glad they opened in Riverside. We need more Asian bakeries in the Inland Empire! This place brings me back to the old bakeries in Rowland Heights and Monterey Park. It is small. It looks pretty new on the inside and out. They have cakes and desserts in a refrigerated case. But most of their breads and desserts are lined up against the wall. There are trays. No tongs but everything is individually wrapped. The one thing that stands out to me is their desserts are so pretty in presentation. The turtle pineapple bun looks like a turtle. I wouldn't have gotten it except that it looked so cute. They also had a blueberry torturo. It was shaped into an animal. Again I had to get it. I got a pork sung bun as well. A coconut bun and mango dessert were also in my cart. My favorite dessert was the blueberry totoro bun. It was a blueberry bun sitting on a chocolate stand. So good! The pork sung puff was also very good. My last favorite was the turtle pineapple bun. It was a bit dry for me but overall it was not bad. I will certainly be back to support this family owned bakery. The prices were great, too!

mixed fruit vanilla cake! the sponge was moist and the cake wasn't too sweet. Fruit was fresh and delicious that cake hit

My go to place for a quick something in college I'm always getting buns from here, I'm sure half of my body is made of bread by now Workers are v friendly and prices are v good So many good options to choose from

Pastries were good! Arrived around midday though so some of the items weren't available. Service was excellent and we even received a free milk tea with purchase. My favorite was the honey bread. Everything tasted fresh and unique. Loved it.

Cute little bakery with a good selection of breads/cookies/treats! The gal behind the counter was very friendly and answered some questions I had, and then offered iced tea to go along with my goods. I loved how there was matcha cheesecake, rarely do I find that and had to get it

Service is simple and quick, the baked goods are nice and fresh, and had a good time with my dessert I ordered and the smoothie tasted pretty good

The cakes here are absolutely beautiful. I ordered one large strawberry vanilla cake but the day of, they told me they never received my order but they would be able to accommodate me with two cakes and I was able to select the two below flavors. I appreciate the service. When I arrived, it's located in a lot that may require payment, but I believe others have said they validate parking, I just ran in while my brother was in the car waiting somewhere else. The store's ambiance is neat but is also extremely small. This location will not write happy birthday on cakes but will provide a golden happy birthday topper. I bought all other decorations and candles. Both cakes were just okay, in terms of taste, including texture and actually flavor, not just sweetness levels. We preferred the chocolate to the strawberry.

Can't believe over the years that we've dined at different establishments in this strip mall by the UC Riverside campus, and never bothered to get sweet baked goods from here! It's pick your baked goods and go type of place. There's no place to dine here inside. There's a variety of sweets from pork buns to sponge cake to coconut danish and so much more ... such a nice selection. There was just one person manning the store and she was really nice! Brought these home for our afternoon snack and these are delicious with coffee or tea. Definitely a go to place for Asian baked goods!

We found a bunch of Hair in our chocolate Cake.At first it was 1 long hair and then 3 more popped inside the layers.First time and last time.Threw away half of the cake.

Bakery is small but full of delicious treats. Service was great. Recommend the tiramisu ! It was delicious !! Can't wait to try more sweets :)

I ordered a delicious cake from here for my boss's birthday. The whole office loved it! Amazing staff, would highly recommend!

I decided to stop by after my morning shift as I had it bookmarked for a bit and it did not disappoint! There were so many options and varying flavors!! The staff was amicable and inviting which always makes the experience feel more comforting! I'm pretty new to these kinds of buns, so I'll definitely revisit a few more times(The blueberry Totoro bun was yummy!! :- ) ) Everything is nicely packaged and the overall ambiance is very warm! Lovely lovely spot!

Food is terrible. We got the matcha cheesecake and matcha cake bread. Idk where they're getting their matcha from, but it tastes disgusting! We got a couple other pastries there too and there is a STRONG plastic odor in all their pastries. Very daring of them to open a second location with this kind of product. Never wasting my time, money, taste buds here again

This place is so cute. Great ambiance. So many objects to choose from and delicious things. Love the crème brûlée! Great service very fast and efficient!

Ordered a half sheet mixed berry cake from them last minute (day before) for a gathering. I was not a part of the gathering, however, friends texted me asking where I got the cake from because it was so good! They took pictures and sent me before and after. Must have been really good as they ate most of it! Got my moneys worth on this one. Thank you Uncle Chuang's Bakery!

Located in a plaza off University and Iowa. You will pay if you're Parker longer than 2 hours. It's been years since we came to this bakery. There was so many delicious pastries to chose from, but in the end I got the strawberry pastry and my family picked up chocolate pastries. This store was clean and the employee was friendly and fast with his service.

Average breads/buns, but small selection. One complimentary coffee or tea with minimum purchase ($12?). No seating available, so you'll have to take your purchase somewhere else. The UV parking lot is a little annoying, but it is free if you stay less than 90 minutes.

Bought a cake for my mother here. It was absolutely delicious! Everything from the presentation to the freshness and flavor was great. My new go-to cake shop.

This is my go to comfort food spot near UCR! I love the variety of breads that they offer and because its so close to school I usually come here for the veggie pork steam buns as a quick meal. I love supporting this bakery however, I feel like their quality isn't always consistent. I came in for my usual veggie pork buns and was in a rush so I grabbed some buns labeled as veggie pork buns and didn't realized it had been mislabeled because the buns had red dots on them meaning they were veggie pork buns. Additionally, my friend got me one of their red bean buns for my birthday and it was almost all bread with only one little spoonful of red bean paste which lacked a lot of flavor. One on the other hand I have tried one of their more decadent cakes and it was amazing! It was a chocolate strawberry cake. The chocolate covered strawberries were super fresh and the frosting was light and fluffy. I also really like their green onion pork sung breads. Some of these breads are a hit or miss but they are great to snack on at home or on campus. Pro tip: When I get the veggie steam buns I always heat it up with a wet paper towel to keep it moist then pan fry the bottom to make it crispy!

The bad: the cake fell due to a faulty handle. I carried the cake from the bakery to my car. When I got home I was about to reach the entrance of the house with the cake when suddenly the handle tore. This cake is for a birthday. **I called and explained the situation but was told "there is nothing we can do."** Unfortunately, I had to go out and buy a cake from another place. Please see the attached pictures of the faulty handle and ruined cake. I've bought cakes from here for many years and have never had this happen to me. The good: the service when buying the products was helpful and knowledgeable.

Very pleased with the birthday cake I bought. Everyone loved the fresh light taste. They very very nice in the shop. Lots of other baked goods as well.

Uncle Chuang the BEST BAKERY!!!! I ordered snack boxes for a family event. Snack box includes a delicious sandwich. Bag of cookies and sponge cake. Sandwich was flavorful and just the right saltiness and not dry at all. Perfect amount of pork floss. The cookies was moist and not too sweet. The heart shape cookie was dipped in half chocolate and gave the perfect sweetness. Sponge was moist and just delicious! Customer service was awesome! Thank you uncle Chuang for making my event so special!!!!!

Wow...I am so happy to visit here for the first time last June 21, 2023 to get a cake for my daughter's 5th birthday. I got the strawberry vanilla cake (hello kitty is not included when you purchase from them. I just put it as a design because it is my daughter's favorite character) the cake tastes so good. The taste is just so right, not sweet, not dry, and the strawberry tastes good. Also, we tried some of their breads and we love it. I found my favorite Pork Sung Bun here too which I usually can just get whenever we visit Asia. I am happy to know I can buy it here and they even make it more yummier than some other bakeries in Asia. After my first visit I went back today (June 23,2023) to try their tiramisu cake because it is my favorite cake and I am really happy that i tried theirs, as it tastes so good and light. Now I know where I can get breads and cakes near me when I have my cravings or even for gifts and parties. I will definitely come back :-)

Today's order: Strawberry cake bread. This might be one of my favorites from the bakery. It is pretty delicious, especially paired with coffee. I personally love this bakery due to the pastries being affordable yet, fine quality! The staff here are also kind.

The hygiene needs to improve, I found 4 long hairs in a chocolate strawberry cake that I bought there. Had to throw it away.

They have the best pastries to choose from! Such a huge variety. The last time I went was probably 6l5 years ago, and I have been craving it ever since. I finally drove by and stopped again. Love it.

One of the best bakerys Imve been to! Whenever I am in the area, I always have to stop by and get a couple to take home. They offer a wide variety of breads from sweet pineapple bread to delicious pork buns and even spam musubi. They also have a few asian drinks to chose from. Very helpful and friendly staff make this bakery a must visit if you are in the area.

My first time trying Uncle Chuang's and I was very impressed. Everything was fresh and delicious and a great value. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Their Asian cakes are lightly sweetened and fluffy and their designs are simple. My favorite item that was their shelves were the onion pancake wrap with pork sung, egg and green onions! That item needs to make a comeback asap! That was delicious for breakfast for lunch. I miss it. Their breads and individual dessert items are just ok for me. They don't stand out too much in terms of flavor and texture. Ordered a somewhat custom big round cake 16" round and they got it right but the name was off so they were able to redo it and it looked great. Got a lot of compliments from our guests in how good it tasted!

Omg this place is AMAZING I bought 4 items and it was only $12 AND they gave me free ices tea which was super delicious!?? Please save me from this place I'm gonna become obese soon if they stay this affordable

I stopped by near closing time, the staff was very friendly. Picked up a few pastries, they were all delicious, a little hidden and hard to find, but it's a real gem. Definitely recommend checking out Uncle Chuang's bakery. (fyi-they do not sell fluffy cheesecakes, although featured in the photos, the person that posted must have confused it with Uncle Fluffy's off of Magnolia)

Cake was amazing, for cake ready for pick up for a quick celebration. Good tasting cake

I always go here to get friends birthday cakes! It is extremely convenient and they have really good cakes for their prices. I will say they use more cream than I would like but other than that, nothing is ever too sweet! Will be going back to try their bakery though!

They have a lot of bread with many flavors. They seem to have more sweet than savory, but in recent visits, I've seen more savory. I like their puddings and smaller items. I don't feel worried about not finishing it in a sitting and having to add it to the fridge. The bread can sit out for a while which makes it easier to travel with it. My partner likes the layered sandwiches and I was confused as to why it was so sweet. She says it's the mayonnaise but I think it's the bread. Lots of parking, they validate, no bathroom, and nice people. It's a nice spot.

Delicious bread and cakes!! I've gotten 2 cakes from this place and they were so yummy and beautiful. If ordering a cake, I recommend the tiramisu cake! The cake itself is so fluffy and the tiramisu inside the cake is noticeable but not overwhelming. I haven't gotten a chance to try all the different kinds of breads and pastries here yet but everything I've tried so far is yummy. The breads are always soft! One of my favorite bread here is the taro bun. I highly recommend it. The cashiers here are always kind. Good service! Highly recommend coming here for a snack! I like that they do not close early too so I can come here for a late night snack. Most of their popular breads sell out near the end of the day so I recommend coming early to get the most choices of what to pick.

Great place to come by and get home Taiwanese made goodies that are so delicious!... They have pork sung bun (several kinds) , coconut bun, red Bean bun, mango puff pastry, blueberry tototo bun Curry beef bun, spam musubi, Dates paste cake, green bean cake... just to name a few! Outside area is provided so you can eat at your pace. They did run out of several stuff by 2pm so come early! The server was not very friendly but maybe he is new, they even run out of plastic knifes which is crazy for a food place! Overall will definitely come back to this place... Date of visit: May 2021

Cheesecake was quite mealy and not creamy. But haven't tried anything else. Prob won't go back.

One of the few places in Riverside to get delicious Chinese pastries! Most items are around $2-$3 and they have a good variety of buns, pastries, bread, cakes, and more! Some of my favorite things to get are the Egg Pudding Cups, Creme Brulee, Creme Puffs, and Pork Sung Buns! Their pastries are definitely are better if you get them by lunch time. Unlike other Chinese bakeries, I don't think they are constantly making bread... so the earlier you come, the more fresh the bread will be. They also only make limited egg tarts each week, so they were sold out when we came on a Sunday. During COVID, they only allow a limited capacity inside. There was only one worker inside and 5 customers allowed in the store.

Delicious cakes. Delicious pastries. Clean business. Friendly staff. Lots of parking. I just wished that they were a little more involved with personalizing cakes.... But I guess you can always buy a cake decorating kit on Amazon and make it work.

Got a coupon to come here in the mail so I came back and visited and found a new item to rave about! I'm the freezer section they have a bunch of sticky rice with eel for just $4! Which is an incredible price and I've been stocking up and eating that on my call days! Just pop it in the microwave for 3 min and it tastes like the sticky rice my grandma used to make for me in Taiwan! Even though it's not a bakery item it's something that I'm gonna be frequenting this place more for!

First time here. Love the bakery, honey cake tasted a little like Angel food cake. Choc cookies, chic foam cake all good Will return

Amazing bakery with great price. I like all the bread from her. Cookie are wonderful too. So lucky of you. U C riverside students.

For administrative services day, we were looking to switch it up. We ordered pick up sticks and wanted some dessert with an Asian flare. I looked at the yelp reviews and they did not disappoint. It was delicious fresh and a customer service service was amazing.

Coming from SGV area the cakes I had were yummy, moist, and inexpensive. It is hard to find good Asian bakeries in Riverside and I happen to pick this place to purchase a cake for my boyfriend coworker birthday. The bakeries selection for their cake is limited so one con there.. You can't alter or change your preferences when it comes to the cake. I order online through their website yesterday and set to pick it up today at noon. The cake must be order one day in advance before 8pm. I pre order the mixed berries cake 10 inch at $46 dollars. Today before arriving, I call in to ask if I can pick up the cake earlier at 11:30am instead of 12:00pm. The worker said it is completely fine. I asked if she can also write happy birthday on the cake and she said no. I asked why and she said it is because of covid restriction. This whole scenario does not make sense. I paid $46 dollars and I can't even have a happy birthday written on the cake. Other bakeries I went to like 85 Bakery includes candles and happy birthday for free of charge since it is paid together. I'm just beyond shocked since I paid a lot of money for this cake. You get what I'm feeling ? It is not even worth the price considering my wants is not met at this bakery. The aftermath gets worst. I arrive and came to pick up the cake. I also decide to get fruit tarts and as you can see in my picture they put my tarts into a wax bag. A wax bag come on? By the time I came home my fruit tart got clump up and it is not a pleasant feeling. The fruits and cream came out of the tact. When it comes to fruit tarts and cake in other bakeries I always get a small box to hold the pastries in place like in 85 degree bakeries. Another thing is the happy birthday writing is not included with the cake instead the worker gave me a topper. The birthday candles is not included as well. That's just too much from this bakery and I have to pay additional $2 for 4 candles and plates with forks when I only need one candle. I decide to pay for it because I don't want to go dollar tree and spent another 10 minutes to buy a candle when I'm in a rush to deliver the cake by 1pm. This bakery is so cheap about everything from not including happy birthday writing, candles, and using wax paper for pastries. I might as well spend my money on another bakeries that get my needs and wants meet. Now for the cake test, my boyfriend coworker and all his friends say the cake is 6 out of 10. Words from his coworkers is cake is yummy and not too sweet but decent enough to get fulfilled your cake needs. My boyfriend and his coworker still prefers 85 degree bakery since the cake is top quality and not too expensive. They also write the happy birthday writings and candles include. Fruit tart is okay, the fruits taste sour as it is not seasonal cost at $2.50 per tart. My taste buds is ruined as the wax paper bag clumped all my fruits tarts into a massive ball. I wouldn't recommend it to get it at their bakery. I still prefer my Tanbii bakery back in Rosemead, their cake hits home for me. Every time I get their cake and the worker are always willing to accommodate if I want a certain size, shape, and filling. This bakery will be my last visit as I will spend my money on 85 degree bakery and Tanbii bakery. I won't come here again as my visits and their cheapness of packaging their pastries is horrible. I highly do not recommend to come here, just my advice.

This is the best cake I have eaten in decades! The almond cookie and honey cake were also delicious.
