Great location to enjoy some nice pastries when you are in town. Their coconut bun was delicious and the owner was kind enough to share with us that his business is the oldest bakery in Chinatown.
Their moon cake with lotus filling is definitely one of the best moon cakes I have ever had. The pastry is thin and doesn't taste oily when eaten fresh. The lotus filling is delicious and there is plenty of it.
The older gentleman up front outside the shop was very friendly.
This bakery is a gem. Authentic things, good price and taste good. We enjoyed everything and went back again for more during our stay. A must stop in china town.
One of the historic bakeries in Chinatown. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly man who recommended different items sold at the bakery. Fresh baked goods at reasonable prices. Support this gem!

This bakery has been around for quite some time, so thought I’d give it a try. Egg tarts here were pretty good (but not great).
Yummy custard tarts and moon cakes. Tarts are $2.50, moon cakes $7.50. Pricey for moon cakes buy was yummy. The gentleman is Chinese Peruvian, speaks three languages. Nice guy. Small line but it goes fast.

Best Chinese bakery in town. Try the moon cakes!
Eastern Bakery has been in business for many years. Their coffee crunch cake is okay. However, a must have is their sesame ball. Those pastries are bomb-diggity good.
Each time when my sisters and I visit this bakery, we buy the sesame balls before we walk down Kearny Street to the Montgomery BART Station to head home.
Eastern Bakery is definitely a piece of Chinatown history and a treasure in the neighborhood. I have been going there for over 30 years. I have fond memories as a kid going there and having one of their "Bow Tie" pastries. It is a sticky, sweet fried pastry that goes really well with tea. Back in the day, they had a coffee shop in the back that served good breakfast and lunch. I hope that it can be brought back some day. Currently, the interior of the bakery is closed since covid, and customers are served at a table outside of the front door. There still seems to be a good variety of products though.
The elderly gentleman that owns and runs the place is really friendly. I really hope that someday he will find someone to pass the business on to who cares about it's history and unique products. It would be a real shame if the business closed when he retired.
The kindness of a stranger!
I was in SFO for the day and wandered here with only my credit cards at hand. I had a craving for red bean buns because they are honestly my fave. After a failed attempt to get cash from my CC, the owner - Mr Orlando- was so kind in giving me the buns, only with a promise to return in the future. Totally melted my heart because he didn’t have to do this! In the end, I was able to find my bank a little further down the street and caught them just as they were closing shop, to give him his money. I will never forget his generosity and will gladly return when I visit again! Thank you Mr Orlando! Red bean buns are great!
