Here's the thing, there are just so many good baked goods to choose from at Cafe Bleu Bakery in…read moreBuena Park (next to Zion market, on the north end of Beach Blvd.) They bake them from scratch, in-house, so you can always count on the breads, buns, cakes and cookies being fresh! For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

If you love…read moreblack sesame, the black sesame bread with red bean and a touch of cream is a must -- so flavorful and absolutely delicious. The chocolate cheesecake castella cake was super moist, the custard bread had the perfect balance of sweetness, soft and fluffy with just the right amount of filling. The almond bread was tasty too, with raisins mixed in for extra texture. One thing to note for anyone with nut allergies: although the ingredient label only listed almonds, there seemed to be other nuts present as we experienced an allergic reaction despite not being allergic to almonds.

Service, good quality, nice environment, fresh. Once you know. Can't wait to see again!read more

Five Stars for the Pastries AND Ronaldo! Let's be honest--I…read morecould spend this entire review talking about their amazing cheese rolls, pastries, and everything else they make. It's all delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and that line out the door tells you everything you need to know! But what I really want to recognize is Ronaldo and his customer service. He is a gem! He is friendly, professional, patient, and genuinely helpful. You can tell he really enjoys his job and takes pride in working for the company. Great food will bring you in, but great customer service makes you want to come back. Ronaldo is one of those people who makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. It's honestly refreshing to find someone who is this positive, helpful, and genuinely happy to be there. So yes, five stars for the cheese rolls, five stars for the pastries, and five stars for Ronaldo!

This is the place to go if you want cream puffs in OC! I've been going here since I was a child,…read moreand truly, I've never had a better cream puff than from here. Anyone I've offered a Manmi cream puff to agrees with me. Cream puffs are 75 cents each. They're big and are generously filled with a custard cream. The pastry bit itself is fluffy and not too dense, unlike other puffs I've had. It's not too sweet, and if I don't watch myself, I'd easily eat a shameful amount of them in a single sitting. I usually pay in cash, but you can pay with card (except American Express) if you're okay with a small processing fee. There isn't much seating in the bakery, but there are a couple of chairs and tables to the left. From my experience, people usually just come and go. Service is standard and relatively friendly. 100/10 would recommend.

They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.

You get a bag of 5 for $4, which is a fantastic deal. They serve them to you piping hot, making the bread incredibly soft and pillowy. Flavor-wise, they are pretty good--sweet, slightly buttery, with a hint of cream cheese and a caramelized sugar texture. While I wouldn't say they are absolutely life-changing, eating them fresh and hot right out of the bag makes them a delicious treat. I also tried the Ube Donut, which was really good and had a great flavor profile. A few practical perks: Parking: There is ample free parking in the lot, which makes getting in and out super easy. Location: The complex has quite a few other food spots around it, making it a great little strip to grab a bite or a quick dessert. Definitely worth a stop if you want a warm, sweet comfort snack!

I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any. Other bakeries usually provide paper plates, so it was disappointing as well.

I also noticed they've added quite a few new food items to the menu, so I decided to give one a try. I ordered the pesto mushroom and bacon breadsticks.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

The bread is always served warm, glazed with butter and sugar, and it's fairly inexpensive, costing $4 for five pieces. The bread is a hit at parties because the hot, sweet bread is hard to resist. I came at the end of the day, and the senorita bread was still available, hot and fresh! They're also open at 6am, which is great if I want a warm snack for the team at work. They close at 6pm; however, they have their mochi donuts, malasadas, and donuts at 50% off in their last hour of operation (5p-6p). Coming in at 5pm, I was able to get three mochi donuts for $5, and a malasada for $1.29. It's reasonable at full price, but it's a steal at happy hour!

Feeling guilty in eating quite a bit of sweets of late, I limited myself to one bag to try first. My friend was brave likely hungrier and tried a couple of other flavors. The one that caught my eye was the lemon shortbread cookies (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=z4w3qR3D4SxnjZXVnK32GA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) as it's been a while since I'd had lemon cookies with powdered sugar. I enjoyed them but rationed myself to two cookies per sitting. I like how the fine sugar powder gives a cooling or soothing sensation to the cookie. The lemon flavor was prominent but not overwhelmingly so. I have not spoken with my friend yet about hers yet. I hope this display is still up on my next visit so I can try some other flavors.
