Six Ping

Delicious Bread and Pastry. It’s a Vietnamese bakery. There is always a line but you wouldn’t regret coming here. Nowhere to sit here. It’s always crowded also. You buy your stuff and go enjoy them at home. I like their coconut bread and also milk bread. Try Them. Cheap and well worth the drive…

Let me start of by saying, I loved Six Ping… it was my go to place to get cake and delicious bread.
I decided to treat myself to some taro bread today, a couple of bites into my bread, I bit into a band aid. Horrified, I immediately took it back to the bakery. The employees were apologetic and I received a refund.
I’m sure this incident was a one-​in-​a-​million and I just have really terrible luck… but, I don’t think I can stomach anything from Six Ping for awhile.

The baked goods here are so light and fluffy! They’re cloud-​like in softness and they are not overly sweet.
Six Ping offers a wide variety of breads and the combinations are outstanding… cronut, dossant, whatever… they don’t stand a chance! some of these combinations are outstanding!!! Multiple layers of light, perfectly lightly sweetened baked goods with slightly variations in flavor… very subtle that they all combine very well!!!

We started buying cakes from six ping a couple of years ago, after our other favorite bakery changed owners. This year, my kid was very into the Animé «My Neighbor Totoro.» Since she loved it so much, I wanted to surprise her with a Totoro cake, I took a picture of what I wanted the cake to look like and showed it to the store. They called the cake decorator on the spot if they can make it, and they said yes, so I placed an order for the cake to be Pandan Flavor with Fresh Strawberry with Totoro’s face. My Kid loved it!!! It is her favorite cake so far. The cake was soft and delicious with just about the right type of sweetness for the Asian palette (Not tooo sweet at all). All in all, I loved it and more importantly my whole family loved the cake!

This is my first time order birthday cake from 6 Ping and it’s so delicious. The vanilla cream is so creamy and smooth, just melt in your mouth. Cake is very tender and soft. The decoration is probably not as pretty as The Jungle Café but the flavor wins it all. Besides birthday cake, their pastry is really good also!

I dropped by to purchase a pre-​made mocha cake that was stored in the glass fridge rated area for a birthday celebration. I asked the girl if it was made today and she confirmed. The cake was mocha infused, had a layer of fruit cocktail and another layer of some type of yellow colored pudding which tasted yucky and artificial for me. The cake was $ 27 for a 8 inch size and I like that it came with nice long candles and a plastic knife to cut the cake. The people there were very friendly but I was disappointed in the cake. It did not taste fresh but a dry cake and the yellow pudding was yucky. I will give them another chance and special order a cake so hopefully it is made fresh next time. If not, that’ll be a wrap for me.

There’s not much of a selection here. The coffee machine is the same one you see at gas stations. And my bread with cream filling crumbled worse than a Nature Valley granola bar.
I just want some fresh bread!

There are three places my wife likes to buy bread from in Houston, and ironically all of them are named Six Ping.
This is a traditional Asian bakery that specializes in bread and other desserts. The star is definitely the bread, which is rolled off a cart at regular intervals throughout the day. In other words… it’s FRESH.
The flavors are typical Asian. Dry powdered pork, mung bean, red bean, etc. However, the bread itself, regardless of flavor, is good. Expect to spend about $ 1 per bread.
The only bad part is they only accept credit cards if you spend over $ 10, at this location (some don’t accept credit at all). It is usually difficult to buy that much worth of bread without some of it spoiling… and I never have cash. I usually solve this dilemma by buying their buns in the cooler next to the register. They run about $ 5 a box of six. So add another 5 pieces of bread to that and my breakfast options are covered for the next week.

This location is so much better than the other location on bellaire! First of all, they actually speak English! It’s much bigger and there’s a much larger selection of goods. The reason I gave them only 3 stars is that I can’t believe that they are even associated with the other six ping bakery! Long story short, I ordered a cake and they told me a time but I waited at least 2 hours after that time and they couldn’t even sincerely apologize to me!!!

This place has lots of great baked goods to choose from at super low price points. Everything that we have gotten here I really liked. Except this shredded pork bun bread. The pork inside seemed like powdered pork and the texture was just really weird. Other than that it’s all good. My favorite is a bread that has little pieces of hot dogs in it. Also any of the breads with cheese is legit. My aunt got something that was a «Japanese Cheesecake» It reminded us of Filipino Mamon. It was so soft, spongey and good. I’ll have to go back for that because I want more.
Since everything is at such a great, low price point keep in mind there is a minimum $ 10 to purchase with credit cards. Bring cash or else you’re stocking up. I’ve always gone with my parents on the weekend and the place is always packed. I forget about this place but I have to remember to go back sometime.

Typical Taiwanese breakfast food + some other foods.
was delicious
also one of my choices
was nothing special
good for being in and not the streets of. Although, I bet they wish they had our AC!

I constantly come back to this six ping location due to my family’s need (crave) of their cakes even though this location keep on messing up on my cake. Messing up meaning misspelling what I asked them to write, type of style of cake, basically anything you can think of. I recently found out that they require your credit card information if you decide not to pay up front. The reason for this is because of the frequent orders of cake that do not get picked up. I prefer to not give my credit card information to anyone, especially when they have a reputation of making small mistakes with cakes already. What if they lose my credit card information and have it stolen by some one else? I think not! Now that I think about it, I just came here last week and they said they only accept cash! I guess if you really want cakes from here then you will have to go to the store personally and pay cash. I guess my family and I will have to find a different cake place due to this inconvenience.

When I walked into this place I was in carb heaven! Everything is freshly made and literally the aroma of the bakery will draw you into the store. I’ve only had two birthday cakes from here (vanilla and mango) and both were absolutely spectacular! I ordered the 8 inch cake and it served well over 15 people. Highly recommended place for cakes for any occasion. It’s a better value compared to the Jungle Café cakes and taste better in my opinion.

I started going to this place recently. The items are very fresh and stay fresh for several days. I ordered a birthday cake a week or so ago. Ordering a cake was easy, and the customer service was pretty good. My family’s quite picky about their cakes. Although they didn’t love it, they did like it. The coffee icing was very good. I liked how they added two macarons along with the fruit on top of the cake. The macarons were too dry and crumbly. I like getting the vanilla sponge cupcakes and pig face bread.

Excellent baked goods. The breads are tasty, and the variety is good. Reminds me a lot of what one could get in Taiwan. The egg tarts are fantastic. Weekend selection is better, though. Freshly baked goods come out throughout the day. Cakes are also available here.

Sad but our favorite bakery has declined in quality. We went to Six Ping last weekend to pick up a dessert item for a dinner party. We were looking for the sponge cake rolls. We asked one of the workers if they carried these cakes as we could only find the sponge cake roll being sold as an individual slice. She said that they didn’t carry them and tried to sell us one of their decorated caricature cakes for $ 25. We declined and looked around for something else to bring to our dinner and lo and behold we found the whole sponge cake rolls in a little refrigerated shelf by the cashier. Funny how the worker didn’t even know what they carry. We bought the coffee and taro flavored roll for $ 8 each. I’m am completely embarrased to have brought these cake rolls to the dinner party as when we sliced them you could tell that the cake was of poor quality… extremely dry and stale. The rolls fell apart immediately after slicing which is a sign of when cake gets dried out and when we sampled the cake it did not taste good at all. It lacked flavor and was very dry. Chinese people are too polite to say anything bad about the dessert but needlessly to say 2 untouched dessert rolls were evidence that the cake sucked. After discussing it with family, we have heard that lately the bakery has been off. Not sure if this is the Jungle Café story repeating itself where a great bakery starts getting crappy because of the good volume of business. They better fix it quick if they don’t want to become a Jungle Café.

This place is really small and selection is not that big. I really like their taro bun and sometimes I will get some toasts there too, but this is about as much as I could do.
I think this is a kid friendly place because they sell cute little buns I am sure kids will like. They also make cakes with animation characters.

First off, they take credit cards! :) I’m happy as a clam. Secondly, they have a variety of steamed pork buns. I’ve been secretly craving those for a few years since the last time I had them in Houston… maybe about 4 – 5 years ago. I easily give in to savory buns.
The rest of the variety was good, but a little flashy for my taste. Credit cards and pork buns are enough to make me happy.

There are a few bakeries in Houston, but Six Ping is by far my favorite. I also have been to a lot of different bakeries in SF chinatown, NY chinatown, DC chinatown, and a lot of different bakeries in China (too bad there is no Unilocal China).
Here at Six Ping, their breads are freshly baked and constantly restocked (just because they sell out really fast). Like most things, first thing in the morning is the best time to go here.
They seem to always have a new (experimental) selection every time I come in. I love their red bean bun or blueberry cream bread. their hot dog bread is also excellent.
They also sell cakes and pretty desserts but I have not tried those yet.
Their prices cannot be beat, I can buy so much food there with $ 5 or $ 10.
The only thing I do not really like is their steamed bun… while it’s not bad, its just average.

Six Ping Bakery has become a name recognizing Chinese bakery store in Houston. Like many modern Chinese bread shops, there will be trays of pre-​wrapped specialty breads with price labeled on the stand. There will also be a standard of red bean bread, polo bread, hot dog bread, milk bread, and regular sliced square bread.
But each Chinese bakery has their own distinctive signature breads and style. For example, Six Ping also have cutesy animal shaped breads such as pig, lobster, crab, and turtle. Each of these animal breads has it’s own distinctive fillings. Six Ping also have breads fill with mochi to give it a chewy but not too chewy texture for the fillings and they also have many sweet breads such as chocolate bread, blueberry bread, and green tea bread.
Every now and then the bread makers at Six Ping would come out with experimental flavors. Currently they have this one called coconut rose bread which was really good as the aroma of the rose flavor can be tasted but doesn’t overpower the sweetness of the coconut itself.
All of the breads I’ve tried so far from this Six Ping location are great. They also have little pastry cakes and they are all well decorated and reasonably priced. Right now they are having a promotion of buying 2 mini-​cakes and get 1 free. However, you could see the sign was marked changing from buy 1 get 1 free to buy 2 get 1 free. They also have egg custards for sale at the front counter and it’s not like your typical Chinese egg custard as they use cheese cake like crust instead of the typical fluffy crust.
Just remember that like many Asian places, cash is king so be sure to stock up on those bills in your wallet before going in.
