Yeh's Bakery
8.6
A long-running Taiwanese-style bakery that’s built its reputation on light sponge cakes and whipped-cream-forward “Boston pie” that stays airy instead of cloying. Treat it as a grab-and-go counter: pick one centerpiece cake, then add a couple of classic buns for balance.
Must-Try Dishes:
Boston cream pie (Boston pie), Strawberry sponge cake, Curry bun

Noise level: Low—quick counter service with light foot traffic, not a hangout space.

Weekday lunch: Typically no wait.

Vegetarian options: Yes—most sweet baked goods are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Very limited—most items contain dairy, eggs, or cream.

Good to Know

Is it kid-friendly? Yes—soft sponge cakes and buns are very kid-approachable, though there’s limited seating.
