The solo cakes and silvanas were good! Nice decor inside. The service I received from the young lady was a bit rushed; she didn't follow my instructions to combine three flavors in one box, so she had to redo it. For that reason, I took off 1 star in this review! I felt that she was rushing to go back inside even before I was able to grab my order. Nevertheless, it was indeed delightful cakes and pastries that everyone must try, and I recommended this place already to my friends and coworkers!

Very clean, very popular .

Come hungry Lots of great desserts, silvannas, cakes, etc. Matcha, Uber, Zed, Zion, and BZ cakes. Great information about each on their website Individual size, slightly shareable, and fully shareable (11 × 8). All made by the owners, fresh everyday. Note the hours so you don't miss out. Enjoy!!!

Cashew Silvanas

We recently found this small bakery called Bakes and Pastes and decided to try it out. I believe their specialty is the Zion cake, so we went with that first. It's a mix of dark and white chocolate, and honestly it was so good. Super moist and creamy, and not too sweet. Just a really nice balance of flavors. Everyone in our family loved it. We also got the cashew silvanas, and those were a hit too. Buttery and crunchy, definitely something we would order again. We are already planning our next visit and are excited to try more of their items, such as the Zed cake and the yema cake. Service was very friendly as well. Overall, such a great find and definitely a place we will keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

Super yummy silvanas! Just like in the Philippines! I want to try them all! Pistachio and cashew silvanas are my favorite!

Zion cake and chocolate crinkle cookie

My new favorite cake!! The Zion one is my family's go-to now. So happy we found you guys!! Also really great customer service :)

Solo cakes

Had their cakes for the first time when someone from our church brought them and after that I cant stop thinking about them! Came in multiple times now and they even have the solo size just enough to suit your cravings!

Zion cake dark chocolate.

All the cake is good. I love that is moist and is not too sweet. This is our third visit & definitely worth the drive.

Tried the Zion cake today, after not having been back in 2 years. Very moist & creamy. It is now my new favorite item at Bakes & Pastes. I'm making it a priority to come back & purchase their silvanas, when I'm in the mood for an crispy indulgent treat. Highly recommend!

Zed

Just go! Get the Sans Rival Cake, Zed Cake, and Silvanas! Just try everything. I've tried them all and they are DELICIOUS. I've been buying desserts from them ever since I found them on IG operating from their home. Great desserts--hindi masyado matamis!"

Sooooo tasty!!!!
Jacquie H.

Delicious treats! Ambiance was on point and the customer service was excellent. If you are looking for a sweet treat this is the place! We ordered the Cashew Silvanas, Zed & Zion cakes and a few cookies. Everything was gone before we got home . We will definitely be repeat customers.

If you're a chocolate lover, this dessert spot is an absolute must-try! Their famous BZ cake is hands down one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. It's a perfectly moist, rich, two-layer dark chocolate cake drenched in their signature chocolate sauce and served in a convenient foil tray. Every bite is decadent and unbelievably satisfying- exactly what a chocolate cake should taste like. Their Zion Cake is another standout. This dessert features three layers of dark chocolate cake topped with a mix of their signature white and dark chocolate sauces. It's available in two sizes: the "Not to Share" 8x8" (which honestly disappears fast!) and the larger "To Share" half-tray size. Whether you're treating yourself or feeding a crowd, both options deliver the same indulgent, high-quality experience. Because these cakes are so popular, they tend to sell out quickly - so it's best to place your order online ahead of time. Trust me, once you try their cakes, you'll understand why they don't stay on the shelves for long. A definite 10/10 for dessert lovers!

Delicious Silvanas!! Worth the trip. Clean store, excellent service. Place feels like your at home.

Our favorite bakery in the area! Definitely a must to pre order ahead of time because their line can get long and they run out of stock on holidays and weekends. Zion and BZ cake is our go to for all birthdays and events but Ube is also our fave seasonal flavor. Not too sweet and reasonably priced.

Starbread! Their Spanish bread is the one thing that most of the folks go there for. And they get a bunch of them because it is really easy to pop these in your mouth and keep going, and going, and going - much like King's Hawaiian Rolls, they are so soft and fluffy, you don't really know how much you've eaten until you've got at least 4 down in your belly. There's a discount section for older bread and pastries, but I am not sure when they get put out. Also to note, if you want a box, you're going to have to buy at least 15 pieces. I bought 10 and asked for a box and the lady flat out told me no. I can understand if it was the policy, but there was a little bit of attitude in the response. And for a place that supposedly pumps these things out, it kind took her a while to get some from the back and come back with them. So docking a star for service, but still coming back.

I love visiting this place…read more Not sure if it's the nostalgia or just the great options to choose from whether you want a cool pick me up or hungry for a savory pastry. Most recently we visited on 10/2 for the debut of their new salt bread line and matcha line! Got to try 5 new flavors of salt bread and boy were they yummy. It was just me and my husband so we were tempted to buy more but we could only eat so much bread in a day ahhahaa We got the double matcha strawberry and it was refreshing. You could tell they use fresh strawberries to make their puree and it was the perfect balance with their matcha- finished it so fast should've gotten 2 Came back on 10/4 (2 days later) bc I couldn't stop thinking about the salt bread and wanted to try more flavors... my husband was like again?? Lol. Got the double strawberry matcha, 4 pastries, and the kimchi tuna melt. Take all my money hahaha Irene helped us out and she was soo friendly and nice!! She brought out our sandwich to us and we heard her greet everyone who walked in the Cafe. Will be back soooon!! Check out their new bread and drink options, you won't be disappointed

On my last visit, the wait time was super long even though there was only two people in front of me. I'll consider this a one off, but I have to say if I ever saw a line again I'd probably forego picking anything up. The wait was like 15+ mins for two people before me. Even saw the lady behind me put down her items and left because it took so long. Normally, I manage to purchase my items and leave immediately, so just be conscious of the line. The pasteries here are just ok. I don't think they're amazing. Serviceable. I think the best item they have here in their chicken curry pastry, and only if you pop it in the air fryer once you bring it home. Otherwise the pastry is kinda wilted and sad. Air fryer crisps it back up and makes it fairly tasty. Inside filling is flavorful and tasty. I also got their portugese egg tart and bbg pork bun on my last visit here. I would not get either of these again. They're not bad, just not great. They're fine. Portugese egg tart isn't as crispy as I'd like even after some air fryer treatment. BBG pork bun's filling was a bit too sweet, and not very tasty. Service may be a little slow, but the employees are nice and I can see they're working hard. Store is also clean and all the pasteries are orderly. I'd say don't go out of your way to visit here, but definitely try an item or two if you're ever shopping at the 99 Ranch it's inside of.

The standout for me was the sliced pastrami sandwich--it's cooked in house and hand sliced! They also offer an impressive variety of freshly baked breads, cookies, pastries and pies that are perfect for taking home. What truly sets California Bakehouse apart is their genuine commitment to community. Their mission to support those in need, particularly the homeless and hungry, speaks volumes about their faith and values. It's refreshing to see a small business not only focused on great food but also on making a positive impact.

She actually bought a few pastries this time around, but I opted not to grab anything as we came later in the evening a lil before closing so they were out of stock of a lot of breads/options.

I think the quality is just fine, if not a little decline over when they originally opened way back when but that's just the trend nowadays. I think they have a pretty wide selection and fair prices in general. Their cakes are a bit overly saccharine sweet for my liking, so I've since stopped ordering those and stick to their bread options. Lots of parking, but also a lottt of people come here so it can be hard to find a spot sometimes.
