The Wild Whisk Bakery in Alhambra brings Hawaiian, Southeast Asian, and Mexican flavors together in small-batch desserts. The Vietnamese coffee tres leches stays deeply moist with a creamy milk flavor and cocoa that pulls forward the coffee, while the Hawaiian rainbow cake is light, bouncy, and finished with a bright guava tang. Butter mochi, strawberry shortcake, cafe de olla, and custom cakes round out a bakery that works for both a quick slice and a celebration.

"Start with the Vietnamese coffee tres leches for the most distinct flavor: the cake is fully soaked, the milk keeps it creamy, and cocoa brings out the coffee. Add the Hawaiian rainbow cake when you want something lighter and fruitier, especially if you are considering a birthday cake."

Lunasia in Alhambra is one of SGV's most popular dim sum spots, and it's easy to see why. The portions are huge, the quality is high, and they even serve dim sum for dinner. Some dishes get fancy, like truffle siu mai or a dried seafood soup that runs $338, but you can stick with classics too. Their shrimp dumplings are massive, the chicken feet are always tender, and everything tastes great every time we visit.

Yang's Kitchen in Alhambra is one of the more interesting spots in SGV, a modern Chinese restaurant that leans into local ingredients and seasonal menus. Strong for date nights, the brunch is popular and worth a visit, and dinner has enough range to impress. It's not your grandma's Chinese food, which is kind of the point.

Ipoh Kopitiam in Alhambra is a Michelin-recognized Malaysian spot known for dishes like Hainanese chicken rice and creamy curry noodles. Their drinks, like white coffee and milk tea, are smooth and not too sweet. A solid choice for bold flavors and a unique breakfast or lunch.
