About This Place

Nestled in the vibrant heart of San Francisco's Chinatown at 607 Jackson St, Yummy Bakery & Cafe offers a delightful escape into the world of authentic Chinese bakery treats. This charming bakery captivates locals and visitors alike with its dedication to fresh, handcrafted pastries that celebrate both traditional flavors and unique innovations.

The star of Yummy Bakery’s menu is undoubtedly their beloved Egg Tarts. But what truly sets this spot apart is the intriguing egg white egg tart — a delicate, less sweet version that has garnered raves for its subtle coconut undertones and silky custard filling. The crusts across all their pastries boast a perfect golden crispness, creating a satisfying crunch with every bite. Fans of classic Hong Kong-style pastries will also enjoy offerings like the Pineapple Bun, with its sweet, crumbly top, and the fluffy, savory Pork Floss Roll, which balances tender bread with a flavorful twist.

For those with a penchant for something more indulgent or seasonal, the Durian Moon Cake and Mini Lotus Mooncakes offer rich, traditional flavors that are difficult to find elsewhere. The bakery's Japan Style Cheese Cake provides a lighter, airy option that melts in your mouth, while the Green Tea Roll presents a delicate bitterness that perfectly complements the sweetness of other treats.

The atmosphere inside Yummy Bakery & Cafe is cozy and bustling, with the inviting aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the air. Even on busy days, like weekends, the line moves swiftly, thanks in part to the efficient, friendly staff who also accept convenient payment options such as Venmo.

Customers praise the bakery for their consistent freshness and flavor balance. Hilda Liu shares how she sought out Yummy Bakery after spotting long lines elsewhere, finding a hidden gem with "equally delicious egg tarts" and freshly baked breads served right up until closing. Bill Fong emphasizes the unique appeal of the egg white tarts, calling them “not too sweet and filling” and worth any wait. While a few patrons find the flavors on the milder side, most appreciate the subtlety that lets the quality ingredients shine through.

With prices typically between $1.75 to $2.50 per item, Yummy Bakery & Cafe offers exceptional value for authentic Chinese bakery delights that are both comforting and adventure-inspiring. Whether you’re grabbing a quick snack, picking up treats for a journey, or craving a nostalgic bite of home-style pastries, this bakery delivers warmth, freshness, and a true taste of Chinatown’s rich culinary heritage.

Next time you visit San Francisco’s Chinatown, be sure to stop by Yummy Bakery & Cafe — your palate will thank you.

    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! Follow me at ig @taiwanese.foodie.sf for more foodie reviews

    We got some bakery items from this small bakery in Chinatown. The bakery items were delicious. The egg-whites tart was unique and very delicious — not too sweet and filling. Service was good but the lines long at this small establishment —well worth the wait, however. We are looking forward to returning again to bring some treats home on the next visit to Chinatown San Francisco.

    This bakery is known for their egg tarts, but I honestly don’t think they live up to the hype. While I get that Asian-style pastries are usually less sweet, these egg tarts were just too bland for my taste. The crust is nice and crispy, but the custard filling lacked richness and flavor. They offer both the traditional Hong Kong egg tart and a unique white version, which has a subtle coconut oil aroma—but still not enough to carry the flavor. On the plus side, the egg tarts are impressively large and served piping hot straight from the oven, which is always a treat. And for the price, they’re incredibly affordable. It’s a good value, but flavor-wise, I’ve definitely had better elsewhere.

    So many fun and unique flavored buns! I came here just to try their egg tarts ($2.75 each) and they were ok. However, the egg white egg tarts (also $2.75 each) are delicious!! Haven't seen these before. On Saturdays it can get quite busy, but the line goes by fast. They accept Venmo payments too.

    We came here on a rainy day searching for some pastries for our train ride back to the South Bay. This place did not disappoint. There was a huge variety to choose from and everything looked so fresh and mouthwatering. We bought a moon cake, egg tart, several buns and cakes, the total came out to about $12, for maybe 5 or 6 items. The price is very reasonable, and the taste was exquisite. I highly recommend this place, there are a huge variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian options, sweet bread loaves, and moon cake flavors. The service was also exquisite. We are eager to come back and try more pastries!

    Small, hole in the wall place that packed with plenty delicious sweet treats. And there is a line, just 15-20 people when we joined it. It does move at nice pace but you might have to wait for the egg custards if they ran out (20-25mins for freshly baked). This place is well known for the egg custards, bun & cream cake. Once you got inside, great smell of baked goods for sure and packed of people waiting for freshly bake custards since they ran out within A MINUTE. The place is not quite clean but a typical well oiled machine place that keeps on making yummy delicious sweet goods non stop. They ran out of most of their goodies so you have a choice of get what they have available or wait for the next patch…we waited and it was aooo soo worth it. I mean, it’s cheap and greatly good. It’s not that overly over the top good, but it simply greatly good for the quality and the price. Service is good, friendly and quickly well done. Wish I can eat the custards daily here but waiting daily for it is something for me to think about. Glad that I got a chance to taste the goods are. Love it! Oh I also got their HK hot bubble tea, and it just hitting all the right spot. Thank you.

    I stopped by Yummy Bakery & Cafe in Chinatown and tried their egg tarts, and they were absolutely worth it. The crust was flaky, buttery, and light, while the custard filling was smooth, silky, and not overly sweet. It had that perfect balance that makes you want to eat more than one. The bakery itself is a classic Hong Kong–style spot with lots of fresh buns and pastries lined up in the case, and the smell of fresh bread hits you as soon as you walk in. Prices are very reasonable, and everything feels fresh out of the oven. It’s a no-frills place, but that’s the charm—it’s all about the quality of the pastries. If you’re in Chinatown and craving a good egg tart, this is definitely a place to stop by.

    The real pineapple bun was the best pineapple bun we ever had. Long lines sometimes but they move fast.
