Oakland Wonder Food Bakery — Restaurant in Oakland

One of my favorite Chinese bakeries in Oakland. You can't go wrong whether it is buying just one or two buns,a box of pastries, or a birthday cake. I highly recommend the egg tarts and the pineapple buns. There's 2 sizes for the pineapple buns, the regular size ones and the small ones. The small ones are 5 for 3 dollars. There's usually on average about 2 or 3+ people in there all the time ordering items so it's quite a busy place but not crowded nor lining-out-the-door long. For the cakes,you can order over the phone,order in person, or actually just grab one that is on display. I would recommend ordering one to guarantee that it's more fresh. Yes,the outside of the store has seen better days and definitely need an upgrade but it's the buns and other pastries on the inside that counts the most. This is a cash only place. On occasions, I'll see someone order a box of items and then tell the ladies to wait a few minutes while they need to dash quickly outside to find an atm,so remember...

To first timers here, the variety of baked goods and pastries sold here would be a pleasant surprise given the inconspicuous entrance to this Chinese bakery. They offer egg tarts, Swiss rolls, BBQ pork buns, sponge cakes, pineapple buns, zhongzhi, cakes, and more. The staff here are ever so friendly and warm, and they always have a smile on their face when I've come here. The shop also seems to have a steady stream of regular customers that come here for their pastries, though lines tend to move fast. If you like Chinese baked goods,...

Delicious and cheap, what more could you ask for? I recommend the taro and coconut breads. (although as a big taro fan, I could always do with more of the purple filling!) Overall, texture was great, sweetness level was perfect, and the price didn’t stop me from buying plenty for all my friends as well. Pork buns can be reheated in a toaster oven, but they all tasted best fresh from the store!! Places like these make it easy to support our local Chinatown...
