Crema's Take
“JJ Bakery & Cafe trades on solid Taiwanese pastries and affordable combo meals, but inconsistency is the real story here—reviews praise the cakes and lunch deals while others report disappointingly executed basics like rice balls and cream-topped items that leave a weird aftertaste. At 3.9 stars, you're looking at a cafeteria-style spot where you might get lucky with the braised beef noodle or stewed pork belly special, but execution feels uneven enough that a trip isn't guaranteed to land. Go if you're in Temple City hungry for cheap eats and don't mind hitting or missing; skip if you're making a special trip.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The service here is phenomenal. The waitresses were very attentive and the food here is extremely good. I always get the stewed pork belly which is $6.99 from 11am-3pm on weekdays. The bento also comes with a bowl of egg and corn soup which they usually offer free refills on.…
