從它開店二十幾年前就喜歡，回台後很久沒來，這次看到更多品項，多了早點燒餅油條，包子和外帶牛肉湯，麻辣臭豆腐，四神湯，羊肉湯等..以前最愛吃蛋糕，不甜不膩！這次想吃鮭魚便當和漢堡！鮭魚煎得好好吃，配菜也很棒，漢堡裡的肉餅和台灣早餐店一個口味，以後想吃台灣麵包這裡是首選！

Cute little bakery with lots of great treats. It is like a smaller version of 85C. I got the mango pudding and double cheesecake and they were both delicious, not too sweet which is the best part. There is a minimum $5 order to use credit card.

Went there got a few pork and vegetable bao buns, mochi red bean, cream custard and raisin pastries. All were fresh and delicious. The bao buns were nice and flavorful full of seasoning and spices. Prices are decent as well.

I bought a bag of toast bread on Friday afternoon, but by the next morning, when the kids were eating it, there were already a lot of mold spots. I also couldn't find the expiration date on its packaging.

I’ve been going to this bakery for years. It’s my go to for Taiwanese bread and cookies. I highly recommend the buttermilk puff pastry, pineapple buttermilk bread and Taiwanese egg tarts. The hotdog with scallions, red bean bun and green tea cookies are all delicious. They also make cakes for all occasions. The hazelnut chocolate cake is really good.
I tried the pork steam bun, pineapple pastry and matcha croissant previously. Sadly, I’ve had better.
All in all, the bakery has something for everyone.

JJ Bakery Arcadia – A Letdown for Classic Chinese Bakery Lovers

I judge a Chinese bakery by two staples: the pineapple bun (bolo bao) and the BBQ pork bun (char siu bao). These are the foundation of any good bakery, the true test of skill and tradition. Unfortunately, JJ Bakery in Arcadia failed that test.

Walking in, I should have known better. The selection leaned more toward the polished, trendy side—reminiscent of 85°C Bakery—rather than the down-home, Hong Kong-style bakeries I crave. But I still held out hope for those classic flavors. That hope didn’t last long.

The char siu bao was my first disappointment. Covered in sesame seeds, it was already sending warning signals. A good BBQ pork bun doesn’t need distractions—it should speak for itself. Biting in, the filling was moist but shockingly bland. Where was the depth? The balance of sweetness and umami that defines a proper char siu bao? Nowhere to be found.

I left JJ Bakery wishing I had just gone somewhere else, somewhere that respects the classics instead of chasing trends. If you’re looking for true, time-tested flavors, this isn’t the place.

Along with its famous cakes, JJ is known for their Taiwanese stuffed sticky rice roll aka Fan Tuan. Basically, you can get your Taiwanese breakfast craving satisfied here.

Opens early in the morning, for all those who need to travel far to work, JJ has quick and ready to go breakfast for you, I normally get a hot soy milk drink, a You Tiao ( fried dough) and a Fan Tuan for my to go breakfast.

As we go on a trip, we would stop by here first to stock up on breakfast with the normal Taiwanese breakfast items and some pastries for the road. Yesterday we got ourselves a Fan Tuan with Taiwanese sausage and YouTiao, Shaobing ( Taiwanese pancake with egg), and some pastries including a coconut turnover and a almond danish for a trip to the Central California. They were all delicious and yummy. We had a good time eating them on our trip.

Besides Taiwanese breakfast, JJ has decent birthday and wedding cakes. The cakes are nicely decorated and come in varieties of flavors and stuffing. We had ordered a few cakes here for special occasions.

09/06/2020更新 - 台灣口味的麵包蛋糕店，但是也有賣便當、油飯之類的台灣食物(熟食)，還有豆漿、米漿。奶酥麵包很好吃，塗抹均勻吃起來不會有一坨奶酥在中間的口感。蛋撻也是台式的酥皮蛋撻，蛋糕捲口感不會過於濕潤也不會過甜，味道很台灣！熟食我買了雞排飯，雞排蒜味很重好吃，份量也足夠，油飯也表現不錯，簡單來說這家店要是在台灣我是會常去的！
