The egg tarts, brulee tart, and jasmine matcha cake was really good. The matcha crepe cake was tasty too. We also had the taro bread and wished it had a tad more taro filling near the edges. Some other of their baked stuff looked okay but not great. Overall, still a nice place for desserts. Whole cakes were on the very pricey side. There are only 3 small tables for dine-in. Staff made us feel super rushed even though there wasn't anyone else behind us (typical HK style service I suppose).

Awesome bakery with an awesome variety of savory pastries that I’ve never seen before. I would rather go here than 85 degrees bakery any day.

One day I was dining at Delicious Food Corner and noted they had a promotion for Little Swan Bakery. I decided I would give Little Swan a shot go see what they got and I'm glad I did. This bakery a new and clean bakery with plenty of baked goods. I ordered a small slew of goods to take home. The egg tart was good, but nothing outstanding. The brulee tart was pretty tasty and even better because I air fried it a little to warm it up. Their baked bao had a good amount of char sui pork, but I do like the char sui to be a little more chunky. The salted egg bun was delightful, not too sweet and charming with some tea. The matcha crepe cake was very pretty with freaking edible glitter! It tasted like a light, airy and not too sweet and not too bitter matcha: nice balance! Also shout-out to the manager here who did give me the first customer discount despite the promotion being over. I'll definitely be happy to return to this Chinese bakery for the wife cakes and some of their other pastries.

Little Swan is an amazing little bakery with fresh bread and amazing cakes. The shop is very clean and all the staff working there are SO nice. We ordered the durian crepe cake 8 inch ($115) and Lychee Rose Cake ($55). Both were decorated beautifully and so yummy. Their durian cake tasted fresh and not sweet, probably the best I've had so far. The price was well worth it. You can't really go wrong with any of their cakes as they are all delicious. By the way, they offer custom cakes as well so you can choose your own design and flavors. One small note is that I would probably visit the store after 1:00PM. Most of their single slice cakes were not ready when I arrived at 11:00AM last time.

Little Swan Bakery Café 小天鹅面包店, nestled in Rowland Heights, CA, offers a distinct take on traditional Chinese bakery delights that set it apart from the usual coffee shop fare. This cozy café, though modest with only a few dine-in tables, excels in delivering freshly baked goods that leave a lasting impression.

It’s a testament to the bakery’s commitment to freshness; patrons strongly recommend enjoying it the same day to savor its full texture and taste. This pastry alone elevates Little Swan from a typical bakery to a must-visit for those craving authentic Chinese pastries.

Beyond the wife cake, the bakery’s selection of egg tarts is equally notable. The classic egg tarts, alongside their crème brûlée and jasmine matcha variations, showcase a refined palate that blends smooth custard with delicate pastry layers. The jasmine matcha cake and matcha crepe cake are also highlights, offering a refreshing twist on familiar flavors, although the taro bread might benefit from a bit more filling to perfect the experience.

Little Swan Bakery also impresses with its savory pastry lineup, featuring unique options rarely found elsewhere. This diverse assortment invites exploration beyond standard bakery choices, appealing to those with adventurous tastes or anyone seeking authentic Chinese snacks fresh out of the oven. The bakery's quality shines through each bite, making it a favored alternative to larger chains like 85 Degrees Bakery.

While the bakery’s pricing on whole cakes leans toward the higher end, the quality and authenticity justify the cost. Service can feel brisk, reflecting a fast-paced environment reminiscent of Hong Kong-style service, but the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere compensate for that briskness.

Overall, Little Swan Bakery Café 小天鹅面包店 is a gem in the Rowland Heights community. It bridges nostalgia and innovation with every pastry, providing both longtime fans and newcomers a genuine taste of Chinese bakery craftsmanship.
