    This place is a must when visiting San Fran. I do my research before going on a trip and this place was recommended by a few people. I know that you often hear more about the Golden Gate Bakery but there was a long line and I was not going to wait to try their egg tart. I'm glad I didn't sit in that line. We grabbed a few items to go and of course we tried their egg tart. It was warm and crispy. We also order some gelatin looking pastries, matcha cake, and sweet bread. Everything was great.

    The location still had a lot of bread even though it was around closing time. AA Bakery Cafe was pretty busy, all the seating was filled and there were a lot of take out customers. Line didn't take long and the lady who bagged our bread was fast and efficient! The look of the place was like standard Chinese bakery shop but a little cluttered so it was a bit crowded when lining up. We ordered 4 items. Green Onion Long Bread: The bread was tasty and had enough green onion. Flavor was on point but could have a but more salt. Rate: 9/10 Raisin Long Bread: Again bread flavor profile was yummy but it did lack in raisins. If it had more it could had a better rating but I'd still order it again. Rate: 7/10 Sesame Ball: This was the least favorite. It was like a typical sesame ball but nothing too specials. Probably not their best in my opinion. Rate: 6/10 Walnut Cookie: The cookie was pretty big and lot of flavor! Crumbly texture and chewy inside. It was a little sweet so I saved half for later. If you like walnuts, I'd strongly recommend! Rate: 9/10 All this came to $7.50! Pretty cheap and would definitely come back to try the long breads again and other snacks! Even though it's not "aesthetic" to the public eye, it still has a comfortable vibe and the main importance is the breads!

    I was in the mood for an egg custard tart while in Chinatown: Golden Gate Bakery had a long line and I couldn't seem to find Napoleon Super Bakery (which apparently has closed). I stumbled upon AA Bakery, and it turned out to be a great alternative! The egg custard tarts were only $2/piece (cash only), and still beautiful warm and flaky biting into it. A solid egg custard tart in Chinatown, and less of a line than Golden Gate Bakery!

    We saw this bakery and decided to stop in for a snack. The lady behind the counter recommended the Japanese cheesecake. It was much lighter than a traditional cheesecake and could be help in your hand. Great recommendation. There were lots of other options and everything looked great,
