“ Great Asian bakery but pricy. My family was getting groceries at Calimart next door, so I popped by Little Swan to grab some dessert for later. Selection was a bit limited as we came in the afternoon around 4:30, but there was still a decent amount available. This place was popping as everyone was coming in to get their last minute Christmas cakes. I picked up two cake slices - the taro crepe cake for $8.50 and the mango mousse cheesecake for $6. We had both cake slices the next day. They were really good, especially the taro crepe cake. I'm generally not a fan of crepe cakes, but I loved the taro one as the taro flavor really came through. I'll definitely have to stop by again next time we're in the area and try some of their pastries and other desserts! ”
“ We tried their new item Earl grey Japanese mochi toast for $7. It is very good. Nice moist bread inside with little balls of soft mochi. One dozen wife cake is still at $11. Cheese mochi bread 14 pieces for $7. ”
“ This Little Swan Bakery is located on Valley and Almansor inside a strip mall (next to the Sunday Bistro). They always have a lot of people to get pastries there. They have many cake and pastry selections. It's a little bit pricey compared to others but they have fresh pastries and bread. The cakes are pretty. I got a few pastries and bread and they tasted not bad. Overall, I would give them 3.5-4 stars though. ”
“ One of my fav bakeries in SGV. Can be a bit pricey compared to others but really liked the improvement they have made. Items are pretty fresh and new cakes are pretty! ”
“ The pastry alone should be 5 stars but unfortunately they are kind of pricey. The wife cake is smaller than other bakeries but hands down it is better than any I have had. It is flaky and bits of crunchy melting when you bite into it. Well just a few bites but still very delicious. The salty egg gold custard bun is like a pinapple bun with filling. Don't let the name throw you off it is nothing like a salty egg taste. I had this amazing bun at my mom's funeral and it brought me back. My mom loved the birthday cakes from here I never got a slice. Now I am going to have to take a bite and buy one from here. The bbq pork buns is filled with a good amount of bbq pork. 5 stars for sure for taste but value of price it takes interview to 4 stars. The place is in a shopping mall across from a residential development. ”
“ I always get the cream puffs here and browse through the variety of breads, but I stopped by recently and the variety of breads are more than before! They even have a pizza bread to try now! Tried some and my fav is those cheese mochi bread! I'm so in love!!! They are SO addicting! It's a must try, I recommend. (no pics but I saw others have posted pictures of the cheese mochi bread already haha) ”
“ Little Swan Bakery is my new fave bakery in the 626! It's located in a shopping plaza with a large parking lot. I visited the bakery a couple of Sundays ago at around 10am-11am. At that time, the store layout had the grab-and-go breads on the left and tables of mooncakes & box sets on the right. I navigated through small aisles to get the breads and it was a bit cramped with foot traffic. But the breads were sealed and presented nicely, and service was quick! I selected a few breads for breakfast in the coming week, including the Green Onion Bread, Japanese Sweet Potato Bread, Pineapple Bun, and Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun. My 1st fave was the Salted Egg Yolk Custard Bun; it wasn't too sweet and had a generous amount of custard that paired well with the soft bun. My 2nd fave was the Japanese Sweet Potato Bread; it also wasn't too sweet, and had a flaky top and rich sweet potato paste. All the breads have a standard golden color, which shows consistency and a signature look for the bakery. Their prices are quite affordable compared to other Asian bakery chains, at about $2-$3 per bread. I'm definitely going back to Little Swan Bakery! ”
“ A fun little bakery to visit. They have a lot of the Chinese-style pastries. The Lo Po Beng is good along with their amazingly good Cream Puffs! Also, they have a great selection of other baked items like the famous hot dog baked buns and much more. It's one of those in and out bakeries, but you do choose your own pastries and place them on a tray. You can order additional items behind the counter, or by the cashier area. Will come back if I'm in the area next time! ”
“ I would give this place an overall 3.5. Little Swan used to be our family to-go place since they opened and when we lived around the area. They used to have seatings inside which is nice to enjoy the food and drinks. Now, they got no chairs and tables. Before, they will have lots of fillings in their bread, but now the filling is very disappointing. Mini Pumpkin Toast: this bread is soft and fluffy. HOWEVER, it got no pumpkin tastes to it. Also, it is kind of greasy and oily. The toast is super small and mini, I don't think it is worth the price. Vanilla Cream Puffs: my parents really enjoyed this. It is not too sweet and could taste the vanilla flavor. Red bean bread: my dad really likes one of their red bean bread, but it wasn't out when I visited the store (around 10 am). So I bought him a different kind of red bean bread, and the red bean filling was just sad-looking and very disappointing. There was only a small amount of the filling in the bottom corner. Our family used to love this place for its good quality and various selection. But now, it is not the same anymore. Highly priced, but lower quality products compared to before. I see Little Swan is expanding to other cities, I hope they can work on quality control as well. ”
