Editorial Review for Golden Gate Bakery – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Tucked away among the tchochke shops and dim sum palaces of Grant Avenue, this tiny storefront offers an impressive array of Chinese sweets. Glass cases are stocked with sugary vanilla cakes, warm egg custard tarts, flaky pastries filled with curried chicken, and savory barbecue pork buns. But the real specialty here is moon cakes -- these small, traditional desserts come with a variety of fillings, like lotus bean paste, wintermelon or sweet black beans.

As my hubby and I were walking down Grant Street, I saw a line out this bakery. I figured it had to be good if locals were waiting in line, so I got to the back and peered through the window trying to decide what I was going to sample. The small store is run like an assembly line. There are 3 Chinese women behind the counter all taking orders, packaging delicacies and taking money. I am a bit familiar with Chinese pastries, but not proficient. The women were curt, but helpful when I questioned a few of the items. I finally decided on 2 pastries, 1 rice dessert and 4 cookies. I was surprised when she told me the price of $6. I'm from Miami and an order like this would have been over $10. I will definitely be back but better prepared and with a bigger order.
Pros: fresh goods
Cons: small store

This bakery is alway busy but it's worth the wait. The prices are a little higher than other bakeries but again it's worth it. They have a lot of items so it may be hard to choose. Easy to find location on Grant Ave near Jackson.
Pros: Lots to choose from
Cons: Busy all the time
