JJ Bakery & Cafe in Temple City

A good place to get your Taiwanese baked goods fixed. They also sell a bunch of frozen items, bentos, pineapple cakes, rice dumplings, Taiwanese sandwiches and so many more. All pretty authentic!

Nice choice of cake, bread and snack. Cheap for lunch meal when dinning in. The combo worth the price, consisting of soup, vegetables, meat and rice. There are also other choices of some famous Chinese cuisine. The staff is really welcomed. And the dine-in place is clean enough but it is closed for Wednesday. Watch the schedule and come for the food.

I stopped in here between meetings to grab something to eat. Plenty of spaces to sit down but they will not let you eat what you purchased without ordering separate food at the tables which is not anything they mention before making a purchase. I’ve been to plenty of these bakeries and tea shops and never experienced not being able eat what you’ve purchased from an establishment.

WARNING: A friend bought this cake from JJ Bakery and found mold in it. My friend threw up 3 times after accidentally eating it. The workers are very rude to her. When she call them, they said bring the cake back to get money.

The service here is phenomenal. The waitresses were very attentive and the food here is extremely good. I always get the stewed pork belly which is $6.99 from 11am-3pm on weekdays. The bento also comes with a bowl of egg and corn soup which they usually offer free refills on. The amount of food you get for the price is insane. The bakery is amazing. I’ve been getting bread here for several years now and they are always made fresh each morning. The egg tarts here are also pretty good. I also recommend the cold sandwiches and the rice balls.

Went to this place on a whim, so I didn’t see all of the negative reviews. Considering a lot of the reviews mention mold, in my (possibly ignorant) opinion, that just means the bread is fresh and uses real ingredients. I got a lot of the bakery goods, and they are amazing! I can’t speak on other food here, but the service is pretty good, and I think I’ll be coming back to try the other foods they have here.

This particular location of JJ Bakery in Temple City has a huge Cafe area and this review will be focusing on the experience for the weekend breakfast menu served at the Cafe area. Wow, the menu is quite extensive! However, serving size is definitely Asian, so I was pretty much able to order one of everything and finished it all. Everything from salty soybean milk, fried crullers, and even the pork breakfast burger was done to perfection. During our visit, there was even a yam porridge special that came with an entire platter of porridge side dishes. Since weve visited right as the cafe opened, the crowd only began to show up as we were wrapping up. I can definitely foresee long waits especially later in the morning. Now that JJ Bakery has centralized their operations, all the baked good are standard across the various locations. It’s all just your typical well done Asian baked goods.

Delicious Chinese breakfast with bakery items and drinks. Have had many of the many items and have enjoyed them all. Definitely make it a point to come at least one morning when we stay in the area. It can get busy on some mornings but usually is not a problem. They bring out the food as its ready, so each person gets their food fresh, instead of all at once. Servers are attentive and clarify to make sure they get the order perfect so there is no problem when the food arrives.

Cakes 🍰 are made to perfection looking really cute and good as a gift for my upscale friends, am not to crazy for the taste therefore I felt bit pricey, the bentos 🍱 are good for the price but not to crazy about the taste either.

I ordered the beef noodle soup, which comes with thick noodles. I think it was pretty good for it’s price.
