| - Crown Bakery is located in the same plaza as Ichiza, Mian & Tea Station, on the 2nd floor. This plaza is next door to the Chinatown Mall plaza.
I stopped by this baker last Sunday, around 2:20 pm. I was surprised to see a few tables inside with patrons enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. I had no idea this place also served drinks, but that seems to make sense since they go well with baked goods.
Anyways, I walked over to the bakery section (this place is on the small side) and ended up purchasing (can only comment on the ones I consumed, the rest was consumed by husband):
Fried Mochi, $2.50 prior to tax- Dry when consumed at room temperature. Much better when heated. Nice chew and had a nice light sweetness. Comes with 9 pieces.
Pecan Tart, $2 prior to tax
Sponge Cake, $1.80 prior to tax
Taro Doughnut, $1.80 prior to tax- Greasy/ oily but I did like the taro filling and there was plenty of it. The doughnut itself was soft and moist.
Custard Doughnut, $1.80 prior to tax- Also greasy/ oily, but the doughnut was soft and moist. The custard filling was great and also generously filled.
Sample of 2 different roll cakes- The employee gave me a sample since I purchased the items above. I didn't get to try this but my husband did.
-----------------------
(Total= $10.72 after tax)
My husband thought some of the baked goods that we tried were dry. That is too bad, as I really wanted to like this place. But greasy and dry baked goods does not mix well in a bakery. I won't be back here on my next visit to Chinatown Las Vegas.
By the way, there is a $10 minimum for credit card transactions. There is also free WiFi but it is password protected.
