Domies Bakery

Domie’s Bakery is located in a convenient shopping complex. The cream cornet horn was good in general and was priced well for a desert snack.
I’d recommend dropping by for fix a sweet tooth craving!

A-​OK.
I got the sausage with cheese bun and it was pretty decent. I was around the area since I was waiting for A Ri Rang so I decided to get some bread for the next day. I tried it but it was not really special. The texture was fluffy and it was a bit burnt from the top. Nevertheless, its decent when you are running late for work/​school and you just need some Asian bread to sustain yourself until lunch.

Best mango crispy cake in town. Their chocolate cake is yummy too. Every bday always domies. Love sue the owner, she is so sweet and soo welcoming

If you like cream this is the best place for it. There’s more cream than actual cake. We bought it for my moms birthday and we were truly disappointed. Thin as hell and uneven layers.
6inch cake cut into 10 slices.

I come here to get birthday cakes all the time! They’re pretty, yummy, and most importantly, CHEAP! I seriously thought I was charged the wrong amount when I first bought a cake. But depending on the size and the ingredients of you cake, it will usually range from $ 18 – 25. It’s actually much more worth it than the mainstream bakeries.
I enjoy Chinese cakes more than others because they are a little spongy and contain air. They aren’t overly sweet and the fruits still taste fresh. Domies gets it right.
The bread that you can buy from the bakery never disappoints. I’m so glad they decided to back off on the whole yogurt phase, because their other items deserve more spotlight. My favorite will always be the bread with hot dogs and green onions. I even enjoy the simplest buttery sweet bread. The pork sung is good too. I can honestly say I’m not sure why this place has three stars. Their food is classic.

Nothing special.

We figured we stop in here to pick up some bread for the next morning since we were already eating next door at A Ri Rang.
We bought 3 breads because it had the advertisement «buy 2 get 1 free». So we picked 3 different types. When it was time to pay the cashier explained that the 3 breads are suppose to be the same. But she was kind enough to just let us keep the 3 various breads.
I have to say, I really wish I consulted Unilocal on this place. The bread was bland. I got the Pork Sung bread. You can tell from the picture how dry the bread is. In the center there is this butter/​mayo type of filling which did not taste good at all. The outer layer of the bread was covered in some type of melted butter (?) which was used to keep the pork sung on. Overall, dry bread with an oily outside and dry inside. In the end I just threw away the bread.
Definitely skip this place and drive yourself to Oh My Pan which is just a block away.

I happened upon this place when I was waiting to be called at Ramen Fujisan. I walked in, hungry, with my friends at about 8PM. There was not a wide selection of breads available, but enough to choose from. Some of the breads and cakes were quite cute. My friend got a custard stick and it was delicious! It’s not super clean in here, but I’ve experienced that a lot in the area. The staff are not extremely friendly either. Maybe if I come here earlier in the day there would be a better selection? Overall? Not impressed.

My second bakery stop after stopping at Sunny Bakery down the street. I liked Domies much better! A lot of different varieties (some I’ve never seen before) of breads and they were all in stock! They even has a rolling rack full of breads as well.
Grab a tray and fill it up! They were having a promotion on certain breads, buy 2, get the 3^rd free. I’m very happy with the breads I got here.
CASH ONLY!

Came here today to pick up two cakes for Mother’s Day. Their fresh mango cake is deeeeelicious! Light fluffy cake with tons of mango inside and out.
They are cash only. I was actually short a dollar, but the lady still let me take the two cakes and said I could just give her the dollar next time. She is awesome! Dunno why the other reviews said she has a shitty attitude. Perhaps I just came on a good day.

Woohoo! My first 1-​star review on Unilocal :)
I actually do have cash, but I always prefer paying stuff with my card. So the second I walk in I nicely (with a smile^-^) asked this lady (she’s probably the owner judging by her age. Or she’s just old.) if they take cards. She stared at me for 2 seconds, then slowly walked to the other end of the counter and pointed at the «cash only» sign without saying a word. Then she sighs and turns her head away like she felt this world is hopeless.
Well I’m sorry that I didn’t read all your signs before asking a question. But I feel even more sorry that a mute person has to work as a cashier at this age. Now I’m just worried.

I came here early January to order a Chocolate 8″ cake for a friend. The lady did an amazing job helping us. She help prepared it for us and then asked us if we wanted any candles.
We said «yeah» and she said that these are the only two candles she’s got left so that’s that. Bring it over to surprise our friend… worked out perfectly. Then apparently after blowing the candles, the fire lit back up again (from one of the candles) and it wasn’t only one time… it was about 20 times. LOL. Gypsy candle! Looks like my friend got the last lucky candle and we’re all proud that we got to see it happen hehehe.
Just for that, ⁵⁄₅ stars. In all seriousness… the cakes here are pretty good too. I’ve ordered from here since my high school days. There’s other buns and bread you can buy from here as well. This store is located in Sunny Plaza inside a corner. Parking on surface can be rowdy, but there’s also underground parking.
Great work, keep it up!

Inside a plaza, at first glance it is hard to find this bakery. Nestled in the corner, stands a small mama papa bakery shop with interesting pastries and lots of mango cake?! MMMM love mangos :)
The colors of each pastry are very vibrant. Deep purples for the taro, matcha green for the green tea, Black Forest for the black sesame, and a bright yellow for the pretty mango flowers. :)
Haven’t tried all of these but I’d like to note that they keep their egg tarts warm! :)
Pretty birthday cakes too

i only go for their lotus paste pastries
they fill the center with lots of paste and it’s only about $ 1.30 per pastry

WTF is up with the employee or owner here? Look, I know Chinese business owners aren’t the friendliest, they rush you, and always seem inconvenienced. I’m used to it by now and don’t expect friendly banter but sheesh — the cashier here is seriously just a lost, bitter, and angry soul. After she bagged up or threw in our items, she might as well kicked the whole thing like a football on our way out.
We bought a lot of breads and pastries but left feeling in such a foul mood. Keep in mind how long of a transaction or interaction this is — not too long but she had quite the effect on us. Her misery spread like wildfire on us. I really don’t know how to explain it but we both left feeling like we were completely mind-​handled by this lady.
I actually wouldn’t mind going here again but I totally gotta mentally prepare myself for all her nasty rudeness. Ugh, better yet — forget it. I rather not.
What I actually liked were the breads and pastries — far less oil and grease than any SGV bakery I have encountered. Tuna bread with sesame seeds was great. Pineapple buns were a little on the dry side.
Bakery is fairly small but they have good deals (buy 2, get 3^rd free — but they have to be the exact same item — no mixing and matching — which we learned the hard way — since their signs are rather confusing). Some of their items are still stacked on the tin racks and not bagged up so you can pick and choose but that would require communicating with this «lady».
Parking: free parking lot

with so many asian bakeries competition in the area, this place is definitely not one of the best. in fact, its just another typical average chinese bakery. but they do have a durian bun, even though the durian doesnt really taste that strong and i dont think they used a real durian. but its worth to give it a try if u like durian. it comes in a small and round bun and will cost you about $ 1.50 for 2 (
).
the taro bread had a pretty generous filling inside which i like. but they didnt really make a good job in making the custard bread. the custard didnt really have the creamy and milky texture, which is what custard supposed to be like. instead, its more like powdery mixture, a bit similar to buttermilk.
prices are descent and okay customer service. but like many other chinese bakeries out there, no CC, only CASH!

This would be of my alternatives to Kee Wah Bakery since it opens later and the pastries here are not too bad. We also usually get our cakes here as well for birthdays. They have a good selection of chocolate mousse, tiramisu or fruit cakes ranging from the small to large sizes. Their pastries are also good here which are very similar to other bakeries around here. It’s good to eat in the morning with a cup of coffee. Pricing is pretty cheap as well compared to other places for the same pastries.

A splurge for a Sunday… A trip into the San Gabriel Valley for some good Chinese food.
By Unilocaling I discovered that, by simply going down one of three main streets (Garvey, San Gabriel, or Valley) that make up the cities of Rosemead and San Gabriel, we can pretty much have a Chinese food fest. It is that simple.
So, Domies Bakery just happened to be right next to where we had planned to eat some dim sum. That helped take some of the decision making off my shoulders. After reading their nice reviews, it made it even easier to walk in.
First and foremost, one of our greatest temptations is a good, eggy egg custard with melt in your mouth, flakey pastry. Dormies’ looked beautiful. They tasted even more wonderful. Little pastries of perfection. This is a wonderful place for egg custard, IMHO. And only $ 1 each.
Red bean pastry. Other than the egg custard, this was by far my favorite. Big, beautiful, packed with a wonderful red bean and ground peanut filling. With my first bite, my eyes opened big. Why? I have been looking for exactly this, with no satisfaction, for perhaps 25 years. After so many misses, this one was exactly what I remembered.
There was a coconut pastry. Very nice, good tasting coconut. And wife cake, a flakey pastry with a melon and sesame filling. Not too sweet. Nice. And several types of meat pies, including a fried donut with a lightly curried meat filling (thank you Ken C!). All wonderful.
There were so many wonderful choices. So fresh. We loaded up a bag full of different sweet and savory items, and brought them all home. Warmed some of them up this morning. What an unusual and satisfying breakfast. And each pastry was between $ 1 to $ 2 something.
Then, there are their almond cookies. Wow. So much better than the ones in the pink boxes. Mmmm… mmmm…mmmm!
Last but not least, a slice each of mango cake and chocolate cake. Instead of your traditional icing, the mango cake had a light white cake, a whipped cream topping and filling, and was completely covered with slices of fresh sweet mango. Fabulous. The chocolate cake, I could have done without, rather dry and not so chocolatey tasting. The mango cake is definitely a drool-​worthy winner.
There is another Domie’s, a larger version, nearby. So If you have trouble with parking here, which you most likely will, the other location is a little over a mile away.
I will be returning to Domies for sure. Just remember to bring cash.

How about delicious pastries to go with that Thanksgiving dinner! I bought some Chicken Pie, Egg tart, Curry beef Pie and all are DELICIOUS. A little bit on the greasy side but what flaky pastries are not greasy. :-o
I have to come back to order their Durian Cake! Sounds delicious!

It’s three stars for the stuff they sell on their store. They’re freshly baked and good.
It’s 0 stars for their wedding cakes. I went with them because they’re cheap. And since we splurged on venue, lighting and the actual catering, we figured we’d cut back on the cake. For a four tier– I think it was $ 350 or something. And look. at the end of the night, cake is cake. guests take it or leave it.
Well, it sucks.
Like it was toppling over, and dude. the design. I wondered if he asked a toddler to help him. A toddler who’s cross eyed. It was oogles ugly and the execution was messy. And did I mention the tiers were leaning to one side? Yeah.
If I could just undo the transaction with this vendor, I would.
So my wedding coordinator, not wanting to freak me out the day of the wedding, told the the groom instead that she attempted to get Domie’s to come back after the delivery to fix this toppling cake, and they refused to come back.
And it wasn’t until the cake cutting did I notice that my cake toppers, the one I ordered from Mikazuki81 on etsy. The cake topper that I designed myself, and loved so much, was still in a bird cage I had put it in earlier, instead on top of the cake. So I asked my hubby, «Hey, how come my cake toppers aren’t on top of the cake?» He said. «well, look at the cake. It wouldn’t stay.» It was indeed toppling over. I was so sad.
The cake toppers that made me gush and smile not being used as a cake topper. Because the cake was horrific.
So don’t go to Domie’s. Because their cake design sucks. I should have gone to Van’s Bakery, first instinct.
I noticed how bad it was when I went back and looked at my wedding pictures.
