Diamond Bakery, located in the Chinatown plaza, is my favorite asian bakery in town. Having lived the first half of my life in San Francisco, I didn't realize that residents were so spoiled until I moved to a place where the asian population was significantly lower. This number has increased, over the years. Note: minimum debit/charge is around $5.00.No seating inside, but there is some seating sprinkled throughout the plaza.\n\nThere is a huge selection of freshly baked goodies like taro rolls (my fave-so good), coconut rolls, steamed chicken buns (sio pao), macaroons, red bean filled sesame balls, egg pie, breads, hot dog buns, and assorted cakes (slice). Everything is good. Cakes are made to order and pretty reasonable. The individually wrapped goodies located on the long tables against the wall range from $0.60 to about $1.50 each! The cake is located behind the counter. I always buy a bunch of pastries when I come here. My husband really likes the coconut cake-it's moist and has the right kind of icing- not the sugary- too-sweet icing that I end up scooping off. Very small, not much ambiance, but it is clean. Helpful staff. Perfect for a light snack, dessert, or for entertaining guests at home.
