Yong’s Bakery

I have been going to Yong’s for about 10 years. I recently ordered a cake from them for my sons birthday party & I must say, I was pretty disappointed. This bakery used to have the most moist cakes you could ever imagine, they had the best taste in the city. I have been recommending people to them for years. This Cake that I received was horrible. It crumbled so badly when it was cut and picked up to be eaten. The taste was horrible. I used to have people fighting over who will take the leftovers home but these leftovers were thrown in the trash. I did notice some different people working in there from before so I’m not sure if she has new people baking the cakes for her but she needs to go back to her old ways of doing things. Sadly I will not be returning there I will have to find me a new bakery to deal with

I ordered a cake for a party I catered and to say I was disappointed is an understatement! While the cake was absolutely delicious, Mrs. Young needs to hire a professional cake decorator. The design on this cake was nothing like I expected and it looked like my 8 year old niece did it. I’m sure I’ll need many cakes in the future, but I host professional parties, so I may have to think twice about using Yong’s bakery… unless it’s a country backyard barbecue.

She’s freaking rude on the phone!!! Her place might be the best cake place in the whole planet but you still don’t rude rude and very upset on the phone to a customer! Never been here and will never come here!!! I don’t care how great her place is (by her ratings)

First of all, I do NOT eat bakery cakes. PERIOD. But for this place, I’m willing to make an exception. I tasted their butter cake with butter crème icing and it was very good. I can tell that she uses REAL butter and NOT margarine or oil and the cakes are baked fresh and are not frozen. The consistency is EXCELLENT. I also tried a sugar cookie and the same can be said about it. However, if you’re looking for a fancy-​smancy place, then this is not the place for you. BUT — the taste is AWESOME. And don’t let the outside appearance of this place discourage you from going in. Another downside is that credit/​debit cards are not accepted — cash and checks ONLY but the prices are VERY reasonable. If you want regular cakes with no-​frills decorations then this is the place for you. And that’s NOT meant as an insult. It’s just that I’m used to taste AND fancy-​smancy decorations. Give them a try. They are GREAT! I’ll definitely be a repeat customer.

If you want a good, old fashioned, moist cake, then Yong’s Bakery is where it’s at! Whenever I’m in town, I head over to Yong’s bakery for a slice of the delectable Butter Pound Cake. It’s one of the moistest cakes I’ve had by far. The sheet cakes are also a crowd pleaser. I once ordered one for a friends birthday.
Usually my family orders cakes from Yong’s around the holidays but it gets busy quick. Make sure you place an order at least a week in advance if it’s around Christmas time! The German Chocolate cake is pretty decent as well.
The only downside to this awesome place is they don’t accept credit cards. Very inconvenient for someone who rarely carries cash or check. There was one time when I couldn’t decide which cake to get and I thought Ms. Yong was being a little testy but I think it’s just because she’s really busy with a bunch of orders so I’ll cut her some slack. With cakes that taste that magnificent, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re taking hundreds of orders a day.
This is not your fancy schmancy Hollywood-​inspired boutique bakery. It’s more about taste than appearance. That’s something I can get with.

so good!!! one of the best bakeries in houston!!! i love this place! her cupcakes are so good and her cakes are very pretty. it looks like a hole in the wall, but it is really good. her prices are pretty good also. the pinapple cream cakes is great and just the plain cream cakes is really good!!! just try the cupcakes and you can see what your cake will taste like. you can tell her what you like and dont like and she will help you! she is a little harsh, but she’ll help you.

I just recently ordered a birthday cake form here and I was very pleased with everything. Although it’s not the best tasting cake I’ve ever had (a little too sweet for me), Ms. Yong was very helpful with my cake design. She called me on two different occasions to give me some options and even allowed me to email her a picture of what I wanted. The end result was a GREAT looking cake. This will not be the last cake I order from this Bakery.

This is best bakery that I have found so far in Houston. The butter cake is to die for. Great moist texture and full of flavor. There is no fancy decorating at this place. Simple cakes with great taste. I have not had one person complain about their cakes nor have I had one piece left over after a party. They do not accept credit cards. Cash and checks only!
