I'll give a five-star rating because I've tried such a wide variety of their goods that I know what I like.
There's A LOT from which to choose, so it's easy to be uncertain as you shop around or to end up with some things that you enjoy but don't LOVE. But if you nab a bunch of things and get to taste-test with friends and/or family, I'm sure you'll find what floats your boat! ✌🏻
Personally, I always go for their Tuna Danish (on the shelves) or Curry Puffs (usually towards the very back-right corner of the store in a metal warmer, if I recall correctly) in terms of breads.
Otherwise, their 糍飯糰/糍飯/飯糰 (its English name may be something like "Salty Glutinous Rice Roll") is usually kept at the front by the cash register, and it's also not to be missed if you're into it (which I am). They have a fancier (like a "deluxe") version with egg and Taiwanese sausage that may be a bit confusing if you're a Hong Konger like me, but it ends up sometimes really hitting the spot! These 糍飯糰/rolls can run a bit dry or have too much rice (ratio-wise), but these are particularly good when eaten with Salty Soy Milk, which I think they have (though I prefer to make my own because I've yet to find any place that makes it as well as my mom, my aunt, and now me).
As for cakes, I only ever like Black Forest Cake if it's from J.J.'s. It's not too sweet, and it's quite airy and light. I also enjoy their Chocolate Passionfruit Mousse Cake, which is a bit sweeter if that's what you like. I think "mousse" is a misleading description of the texture, but I enjoy it.
