So happy that Kee Wah Bakery only opened in Arcadia! Not the most ideal location since Baldwin is so busy, but luckily you can make a right onto Fairview and park in the relatively empty parking lot. Because the bakery is so new, it definitely stand apart from the Monterey Park locations (and reminds me of their HK shops!). Everything looks shiny and new, with each item having a specific spot in the store.
I came here relatively early on a Friday morning and most of the bread was still loaded onto the trays - the workers had to help me get the bread I wanted, rather than me picking the biggest pineapple bun for myself. Otherwise, there's usually a small space for bread to be placed for customers to choose from. There's also lots of other goodies and merchandise for sale at this store.
Taste of the bread and pastries is consistent with what you'd find at all other Kee-Wah bakeries. The pineapple bread is one of my favorites - with a crispy "pineapple" topping and a soft, fluffy bread. It definitely tastes the best when it's fresh out of the oven.
Another favorite is the custard bun with the big dollop of cream in the middle - tastes great when it's warm, but it's probably unhealthy.
Egg tarts also look incredibly captivating as they sit under the warm toaster. At $1.50 each, I think the price isn't too bad. They taste amazing and the crust of the flaky egg tarts - on point.
I've also tried a variety of cakes from Kee-Wah - chestnut was really good, but the coffee chestnut cake tasted a little weird for my liking. Mango mousse was standard - 85 has a better one. Black forest was my favorite. More cake than cream for most of the cakes.
tl;dr - Really glad there's a Kee-Wah in the Arcadia area! Good consistent bread, with pretty good...
Read moreVery disappointed with this kee wah bakery as we had special ordered a cake and noticed the fruit on the cake had made the rest of the cake spoil after one day of picking up the cake. This was a large order and costed us $54 for my mom's birthday. We had distributed this cake to friends and family. So i am embarrassed when i found that the fruit i found on my portion was spoiled. I spoke to the general manager, Gina, on the phone about how the cake smelt spoiled and how we found a strawberry going bad on the center of the cake. She completely understood and asked that we come in no later than 5:30pm for a full refund. When i arrived, Gina had already left and there were only 3 other ladies that could help. Sadly, they werent very helpful because they completely dismissed our concerns and played it off like we were in the wrong to even suggest a spoilt cake. I was in such disbelief that one of the ladies, Francis, would deny, deny, deny our concerns. She kept on making excuses like how it isnt strawberry season so the fruit is supposed to be sour. However the kind of sour we mentioned is from the entirety of the cake. We could smell the cake and it definitely felt off. Im very disappointed with how they were indirectly calling us liars and refusing to provide any good customer service. We usually go to the kee wah bakery in san gabriel but since we moved, this one was the closest. Clearly not the best. I suggest people avoid this bakery. The bread is dry and not as tasty and the cakes clearly aren't made fresh even if special ordered. The service is practically non-existent if the staff will indirectly accuse you of lying to them. I cant even believe we had to witness such awful...
