Lamber Chinese Bakery

I have been a customer for over 12 years. I love that they have small personal (4 slice) cakes. Sometimes i need a small cake and this is the only place i can find it. I am not really a fan of their carrot cake. My favorite cake there is the red velvet cake. The only thing is that you can only get it on pre order and weekends only. It is well worth it thought.

This is our holiday «go to» spot for their «pan de sal» (dinner rolls)!!! They taste amazing and are baked fresh!!! I just bought some for our Thanksgiving dinner. I recommend getting there early as there may be a wait time. However, it is totally worth it! The staff that works here are super friendly! :)

Tried call there first. Just rang and rang. When I got there I told her that I called but no one answered. The rudest women responded. OH THAT WAS U. MY HANDS WERE FULL, I WAS BUSY. ok… so I asked if she had any cheesecakes. She rolled her eyes before having to go to the back to get it. I asked her if she can add strawberries or something to the top. She responded.. OH, THAT’S TOO EXPENSIVE. I couldn’t belive this lazy fat *itch literally just said I couldn’t afford to add that. I paid, and kept my mouth shut as she gave me my change. It took every ounce of me not to punch her in the throat.
Do not go there if u want friendly, welcoming customer service.
The quality of the product was nothing special.
Insulting rude, and lazy. That’s all I can say. Stay clear. Spend ur money w another bakery that appreciate ur buisness. This place is a joke.

Terrible! We ordered a cake with strawberry and blueberries, which supposedly they did not have any blueberries (don’t think they are out of season). Anyways, they said that they can do it with strawberries, so we were fine with that. We even wrote it down and gave them the paper that said to have strawberries. What did we get? A strange cake with one half of the cake with strawberries and the other half with bananas (I mean chunks of bananas in the middle). I never had chunks of banana in a cake, which tasted cheap and homemade. So recap — first of all, we NEVER ordered banana in the cake (nor was it written down on the paper we gave them for the order); 2) the cake was not great in taste in general and the bananas made it worse; 3) they made the decision to make it half banana and half strawberries (and not even blend it — just literally cut the the cake down the middle and half would be with bananas and the other half strawberries; and 4) when we went back the next day to tell them about it, the lady denied it saying we ordered it that way. Well, when we asked to look back at their paperwork from the day before of the order, she backed down and then a guy came out and apologized (that’s it — no refund or suggestion on how to make it up). Overall my advice — I rather make my own cake than give them money to make a weird cake that didn’t even taste good, and be aware of this bakery changing your order and then denying they did. We threw the cake out, such a shame for spoiling the bday dinner that we had.

Awful! Do not try and get a wedding cake here! Horrible over the phone skills. Could not give me any prices and did not even know how much a 3 tier cake serves. They asked when I need it, I said October, they said, come see us in September! Hahaha ya right.

Our family has been coming here for years and its about time I write a review on all the tasty goods here. Their cakes are the best in all of Southbay.
Whether its a wedding cake, birthday cake or for any ocassion the people at this place never disappoint. The crème horns are great with cofee or milk. The chocolate mouse cakes are a treat.
The cakes are perfectly moist, spongy and delicious on the pallate. I highly recommend this place for your next baked good needs.
I’ll see you guys soon. Thanks for all the great tasting cakes in the past and thanks in advance for our family’s orders in the future.
Lammbert Chinese Bakery is a slice of heaven.
Thank you.

I absolutely love the cakes here. I happen to work with the owners daughter. Last Thursday before my actual birthday, I got a banana and strawberry cake with whipped cream which is a better alternative to the sugar frosting. The cake was moist and the whipped cream in the middle along with the strawberries and bananas were delicious. Not too sweet. Just how I like my cakes. I have an occasional sweet tooth.
I have also tried the cheese bread. The bread is always moist and the cream cheese in the bread is smooth. Perfect combination!
My co worker would bring cakes for birthdays or special events, so she hooks us up. On random days, she would bring the cheese bread.
I highly recommend this place! Cakes are awesome!

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been coming here ever since I can remember. I even had them make my wedding cake and let me tell you, they definitely nailed it! Totally gorgeous and absolutely delicious, absolute hit at the wedding.
After years of coming here for all of our special occasion cake needs, I can honestly tell you that I refuse to go elsewhere! Their cakes are beautiful and everything tastes delicious, def can’t go wrong with any of the flavors they offer.

I have been going here since I was in grade school. The ladies in there are always so kind. The Chocolate Mousse cake is by far the popular vote and absolutely amazing. I just recently tried the mango, it had fresh sliced mango on top! The strawberry mousse is equally as yummy if you don’t care for chocolate. Excellent place!

I love love love the cakes here. They are freshly made, and they are not super sweet sweet. The owner and her sister are super friendly. Yes, they like to talk a lot, but who doesn’t like friendly people? I love friendly people. I would reccomend this place for all kinds of cakes. The prices are not bad either. This is my to go place always!!!

Ordered a sheet of strawberry-​filled cake for son’s bday, and not only was it strawberry-​banana with hardly any strawberry, it was mostly whipped frosting for $ 40!!! NOT Worth ordering, but there pre-​made cakes, and mango cake is deeeelicious!!!

I expected this place to be better. I had seen it a few times and finally decided to stop by.
The woman who was working at the time was friendly. She even offered a few suggestions… however, the chocolate mousse cake I bought had a hardened outside that comes from prolonged refrigeration… not only that but it tasted really, really bland.
I also bought the chocolate covered strawberries that they advertise… the chocolate was really low quality.
Everything was disappointing to the point where I don’t think I will be back =/

I came here on a whim. Expecting… well chinese baked goods.
WRONG.
I came in, and everything was SO limited. Nothing was chinese. There were wedding cake cookies, tres leches and strawberry shortcakes, EVEN BAKLAVA! wth?
Don’t get me wrong, the lady was nice, VERY nice. I was also expecting her to be… chinese. She was filipino, maybe she was half? who knows? but I DO know their wedding cakes are good, since we tried two of their cakes. I also wish, she didn’t make us feel rushed just so she can continue talking to the other lady that probably is a close close friend… a ‘regular’.
I just believe that if it’s called a chinese bakery, I would like to enjoy some chinese baked goods? It’s ok. The prices were bakalava was pretty pricey, really? $ 1 EACH, and they were small :(the wedding cake cookies were $ 0.50 each! sheesh. at least their desserts are delicious!

I used to go here on my way home when I worked Saturdays at the Chula Vista Public Library. Their mango cake is awesome, and I liked their cheesecake too. Very friendly place.

what, i’m the first to review it? i’ve been a customer for the past 7 years! offers great Chinese-​Filipino cakes, especially the sheet cake with fresh strawberry filling and whipped cream icing. there’s also a smaller version round cake but we usually get the sheet cake for a big party. order in advance to guarantee availability. there’s a comic book store and a liqour store in the same center, but that’s not why i’m giving it 4 stars.
