I've had their durian crepe cake a couple times and been impressed - VERY DURIAN. Actual pieces of fruit. Not too sweet. Not cheap - definitely a treat. Comes in a self-contained box with little fork, though the staple closure it a little hard to open and kinda a hazard. Tried the cream puffs too and they were extremely sweet so would pass on those in the future.

I may have unlocked a new favorite Asian pastry. I love pork floss and I love sponge cake, and the combination was quite delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

If you are ever craving durian, this durian crepe cake is exactly the dessert for you. The smell hits you just as you open the little box (stapled securely on both sides), and permeates through every bite. The flavor is not too sweet and distinctly durian. Creamy and somewhat pungent, layered between soft, thin crepes.

Still one of my all time favorite bakeries around! I recommend going early so you'll get the best selection of breads. I went this time in the afternoon and most of the popular flavors were already gone. I needed a cake for a birthday and I live too far away to preorder so I grabbed one of the ones in the case. Not sure if it was because it was a Saturday but they only had two available. A large and a small. The larger one was chocolate and the smaller one was strawberry. I grabbed the smaller one and it ended up feeding 7 people with leftovers. The price was around $38. If you want to get a cake, I would recommend popping in early and placing a preorder. You'll get a lot more choices and flavors. Oh ya as a tip, this is your typical traditional Chinese bakery so expect mass chaos. Lots of yelling and line cutting. Just have to go for it and get right in there and get what you need and get out. The chaos is worth the goods!

My favorite crepe cake in the city! I prefer Asian cakes because they are usually lighter and less sweet. You can taste how fresh the cream is, and the match flavor is not too overpowering / bitter. The cake also feeds at least 6-8 people and everyone can get a sizable slice! It was really easy to place the order over the phone, and pick up was very seamless as well. The bakery is so cute and had a lot of other sweet and savory pastries that were well organized to choose from. Highly recommend ordering their crepe cake or stopping by to grab baked goods :)

Little Swan bakery is delicious! When me and my boyfriend went, we browsed all of the savory and sweet, pastries, and ended up getting the garlic bread the corn cheese, bread, and the Japanese cheesecake slice, and durian crêpe cakes slice. Out of these, the most delicious items included the corn cheese bread, and garlic bread. The garlic bread had a creamy garlic filling on the inside, which was delicious and the corn cheese bread was spongy, moist and decadent. Japanese cheesecake on the other hand while sweet felt a little bland and the durian crêpe cake was a tad overwhelming in flavor and quite stringy, however, my partner loved both of the cakes, so if you have a sweet tooth you definitely will enjoy their cake selections. All in all, this bakery is absolutely fabulous, inexpensive, and a must try if you are in the Chinatown area of San Francisco!

This small Chinese fusion bakery is way better than 85C bakery. They offer some 85C dupes, Japanese-inspired buns, roll cakes, crepe cakes, and more. I usually get the strawberry and blueberry cake slices, both are fresh, fluffy, not too sweet, and airy. Plus none of the fruits got mold when I left it inside the fridge for over 3 days compared to corporate Chinese bakeries I had in the past. I also love their Japanese-inspired buns which have flavor and fluffy texture. I would love to purchase the whole store but I can't fit in my bag lol. Overall, the service is okay; it's a takeout service and the crew only handles the register fast while others maintain the neatness of their display. It's a cute little bakery shop with no seats at all and less street parking, so it's best to take public transportation and walk there.

Convenient bakery shop in Chinatown offering up Chinese pastry specialties! Squid ink with tuna was interesting, but left for umami and more noted taste. Soft baked breads, for the win. They have these flavored crepe layer cakes, it was ok. The sesame flavor was lacking. Subtle sweets. I got lucky on the ordering - she spoke English to help me ring it up in bulk and etc.
