JJ Bakery

Great location for fresh baked pastry, breads, and all these yummy combinations mix meats and sweet sandwiches, many different choices. Sometimes parking is limited when there are a lot of people. The photo of this sausage pastry is one of my favorite. Light and quick snack.

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.

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.

Got the tiramisu 8 inch cake for $35. It was pretty good, not too sweet and just the perfect amount of coffee taste. However, the cake had a icy texture right after I picked it up from the store. I don't know whether it was because the store's fridge is strong or the cake wasn't fresh. I am hoping it isn't the latter. Despite that, the taste was very good. I don't know if it is worth $35 though.

My friend and me visited JJ's in Arcadia for first time. It was okay though nothing spectacular. My friend had a lemon merengue tart and boba tea while I had mango pudding and took home some bread. The store was clean and alright though many items were empty while some had few pieces to select on their shelves. The price is good. The 3 persons behind the counter were kind of rude by staring the entire time. Their customer service skills were lacking. Please remember... The review is based on the location in City of Arcadia.
