Yummy Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

Last week, I passed by Golden Gate Bakery and saw a huge line, so I decided to find another spot in Chinatown with equally delicious egg tarts! (After all, there are so many egg tart shops there 😆!) That’s when I discovered Yummy Bakery & Cafe that sells egg white egg tarts!

Even when I arrived 30 minutes before closing, there was still a small line! They were still baking fresh bread and egg tarts—such a nice surprise! The interior clearly showed its history as an old-school bakery, which immediately let me know they are good 👀.

I got the egg white egg tart, regular egg tart, and a pineapple bun with real pineapple chunks 🍍.

Egg Tart: When eaten fresh and warm, the crust is super crispy and fragrant, and the custard is soft, silky, and delicious 😋. It’s above average, but not mind-blowing—more of a solid stable choice when you’re craving egg tarts!

Egg White Egg Tart: The filling had a texture kind of like steamed milk pudding, and the crust was on the crispier side! It might not be for everyone, but it’s definitely worth trying at least once!

Pineapple Bun: The crust was flaky, and the bread was soft and fluffy! The balance between the milk custard filling and real pineapple chunks was just right—when you bite into the pineapple pieces, the natural fruity aroma bursts out, making the custard feel lighter and not overwhelming 😲. Such a pleasant surprise!!

If you ever catch these fresh out of the oven, you must get one—this was my favorite out of everything and totally worth buying again! It was my first time trying a pineapple bun with actual pineapple chunks inside 😆. And it was so crispy that I couldn’t even tear it apart for a photo—it just flattened instantly 😆. Definitely best enjoyed warm!

I came here for pineapple bun (the non-custard) version and I got exactly it. The prices was like 1.50 * 12 or 18 bucks I think which I think is fine for how nice the breads were. Ok, so the bread is like mildly sweet which is how I like it with the topping not too crumbly but sticky enough that you get the full flavor. Honestly, my top choice for pineapple buns without custard inside.

I tried a pork bun but I thought it was a bit too sweet for my liking? It's both somewhat sweet and really savory which is jarring to me but still good overall. I also got a pan loaf bread (with some raisins) which was pretty good. Not much to talk about since it's a loaf of bread.'

I came back for the hk milk tea. It was worth it if you're a fan of the rich after taste. I think the prices rose up since I last visited nearly over a year ago. Pineapple bun is 1.85 and hk milk gone from 4 bucks small to 4.75. I mean it's good. Pineapple bun were just as good as I...

When Golden Gate Bakery is closed or the line is too long, I usually come here for my egg tart fixed. They open early at 7am. Their egg tarts is not as buttery as the golden gate, but still one of the better one in Chinatown. The crust here is in-between the cookie or the flaky version, and not too thick. The tart is soft and tender, yet not too sweet. They have the egg white or egg yolk (yellow one) version of the tarts. I personally like the egg yolk version better.

I also tried their bread this time, but it tasted very dry, not as soft as I expect. Not sure if it has been more than 1 or 2 days...

I used to like their Hong Kong style milk tea, but this time I am disappointed. It was not smooth, a bit bitter , and not enough condensed milk. Large for $4. Maybe I would pay a little more and get a Starbuck...
