Nini... Nope, nope nope. Dingy small bakery. Terrible customer service, rude and unpleasant. The place has filthy floors and walls. I bought an over priced cake for my aunts birthday for $36 and a boba tea for my daughter $3.75, the cake was just ok, my daughter said that boba was good. In my opinion, it is not worth the money. Plus, the place looks run down and needs a good cleaning. This was our first visit. **The biggest reason for my 1 star review was based on the 2nd visit: Shame on Nini Bakery... My teen daughter ordered a boba tea $3.75 plus tax. She gave the cashier her debit card to pay. The cashier TAKES my daughter's card and refuses to give it back until she purchases $10. My daughter is a teen, so she didn't know that this is against California consumer protection laws. Feeling under pressure, my daughter picked out two small cakes and the boba tea and the cashier said the total is $9.98 so she is 2 cents short of $10! The cashier then says she needs to buy another item! Her bill was almost $13! She only wanted a boba tea.
What the cashier should have done is to make an exception and ring her up for the $4 drink! Or she should have just handed my daughter her debit card back and said "sorry I only take cash on small purchases." But instead she refused to give my teen her card back until she spent $13!
The "cash only" days are over... Most people use cards or Apple Pay/Google Pay. You can not keep someone's debit card just because they aren't spending the amount that you want. Nini Bakery, you lost our business forever! We will never go into your bakery and this is a warning to everyone... don't patronize...

I love visiting this little bakery in Rowland Heights! Although the place is small, they are constantly stocked with delicious fresh pastries, bread, and cakes. Customer service is excellent and they are very helpful in explaining things in English since a lot of the labels are in Chinese. Parking can be a pain to find since its located in an Asian plaza.
Recently I was driving around frantically on Thanksgiving trying to find an Asian bakery that was open so I could bring over a cake to celebrate with my bf's family. Luckily Ni Ni Bakery was open and once I walked in I saw the most glorious turkey cake! It actually looked like a turkey too with golden brown skin and thighs and wings! For $27 I had to get it and it was surely the talk of the night when I bought this amazing cake over. Most of the time, desserts that look amazing aren't always the tastiest so I didn't have high expectations of this turkey cake, although I was completely blown away! This turkey cake was actually a black forest cake (chocolate and raspberry) with frosting and caramel outside. It was moist and light and not overwhelmingly sweet. I also love all the additional fruit decorations around the cake. It was a big hit during Thanksgiving and I really hope they keep making these awesome and creative cakes!

Read moreWe have been enjoying Nini Bakery for many years. The shop is not fancy, but we go for the food abd friendly service. The food is better than at places such as ten 85 Degrees. Their multi-grain bread with nuts is outstanding. We buy sandwiches, boba drinks, pastries, even the occasional entire cake. They recognize us and always greet us warmly. Parking near the store is often unavailable, but is easy to find in the...
