Napoleon Super Bakery

Woodes a month ago

Stumbled upon this adorable bakery today. It was buzzing with regulars who clearly knew their favorites. I took my time and decided on a sweet cream roll, an egg tart, and a red bean cake. The red bean cake was a delightful surprise with a hard egg yolk in the center—definitely one of my favorites! It was a real treat. Can't wait to come back and try some of their savory options! CASH ONLY!!!

I’ve been coming here for years. I’m born and raised in Oakland Chinatown, I’m Chinese, I speak Chinese and want to see Chinese businesses thrive. So it hurts me to write this, but it hurts me more to endure discrimination. If you’re at all queer presenting or a queer ally, don’t come here. To my face, in a mutual language, they started gossiping about my gender and glaring at me while doing so. The main woman stopped helping me to go find another colleague so that they can chat loudly about this, as I waited to get my order. Two main women doing this: 5’6” late 40s 5’3” late 40s

My family used to go here when it was in Chinatown San Francisco, so happy to know they moved to Oakland Chinatown. They have the same cases and handwriting from years old, very nostalgic. The food and price are the same, both extremely affordable and tasty. I got everything in the photo for $18.50. I highly recommend their egg tart and pineapple custard buns.

Napoleon Bakery did our wedding cake! The price including delivery was an incredible deal. We asked a friend who could speak Cantonese to help us order, which I strongly recommend. Cash only.

Found Napoleon Super Bakery off of Yelp and so glad I did :D Most part of downtown Oakland aren't the best. Napoleon is in Chinatown. Streets are a bit dirty, and doesn't smell too great. Be aware of your surroundings. Street parking and be sure to read the signs! Now on to the good parts! I was a bit unsure how it would actually taste, so I first ordered 2 egg tarts and a pineapple bun. Went back to the car to eat (since the smells of the street were potent) and devoured both quickly. The egg tart is made well. Although not hot, it still had a great ratio of crust to custard. My comparison would be to Golden Gate Bakery. If you eat the egg tart from Golden Gate Bakery, they are still usually hot/warm when you eat it...but Napoleon's tasted just as good as Golden Gate Bakery imo if you waited a few hours. Also, we stopped by about an hour before closing, so I wasn't expecting anything hot. The plain pineapple bun were good too, so we decided to go back and order more :D I decided to order another half dozen of the egg tarts, some coconut tarts, cake, and a few pineapple buns. Pretty much anything they had available, I grabbed some to try it out so I could share with family. I
