    Decent pastry shop but their mousse cake was the only thing worth ordering. As other reviewers mentioned, they're pricey. We don't mind paying more for quality but when 1 out of 4 things we ordered were above average, that's a red flag. Perhaps we just bought the wrong things but I'm willing to give this place another shot if we find ourselves back in Valpo.

    Almond croissant
    Alexandra H.

    Stopped here for breakfast since I love French pastries. The shop is very cute and there's so many wonderful cakes/pastries in the display case. The shop does not have seating indoors, but it does have a few tables outside for when the weather is nice. I had an almond croissant, which was good. It had sliced almonds and powdered sugar on top of the croissant. The croissant was nice and flaky. The almond filling was not too sweet. I got two chocolate macarons, which were delicious! I also got the hot mocha latte, which was also very good. Not too sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and I will definitely be back soon!

    As a fellow Valpo alumni, I can't help but wonder, "Where were you when I was studying on campus back then?!" Needless to say, I am beyond elated with this addition to Valpo downtown. I am so glad my family and I stopped by on our way to my cousin's retirement party. We picked up several items and all of them were excellent. Here's what we've tried: pain au chocolate, plain croissant, chocolate almond croissant, kouign amann, mango passionfruit cake, chocolate eclair, and chocolate macaron. I cannot wait for their new shop to open and I am hopeful that the new spot will be more spacious.

    Gorgeous little bakery in the heart of Valpo! This is another gem I found courtesy of my fellow Yelpers. This shop offers SO MANY baked treats, from breads to croissants to sweets. I picked up some macaroons, a brownie finger, a mini spinach w/sun-dried tomato quiche and a kouign-amann, recommended by the server. I had the quiche for dinner and it was all I hoped for and more! The pastry was flaky and tender, and the filling was light yet flavorful (my pic wasn't the best but I assure you it was delicious). The kouign-amann was my breakfast treat the next day. I was not familiar with this item, but it was just as the server described: a lightly sweet croissant. Heavenly! Go visit, you'll not be disappointed!

    Bao's is always delicious and love how they bring in new creative choices per season/holiday so cute. Staff is friendly and patient. Interior is trendy, definitely a joy to pop in time to time when in town. Ordering my wedding cake here and cannot wait! Keep sneaking back for more

    Mini pavlova (5/5)
    Randi M.

    Finally stopped by Bao's and it was delicious! The staff were very helpful, as were the customers. I tried the mini pavlova topped with fresh blueberries and blackberries and a macaroon. I believe the pavlova was blueberry flavored and the texture was light and airy. I also tried the 4" chocolate mousse cake. I could eat the mousse and chocolate ganache on it own! There was a nice layer of what seemed to be graham cracker and praline like caramel in the center for a textural contrast. The cake was good, yet not as rich as the rest of the dessert. I'm excited to try more of their desserts!

    I am in love with this pastry shop! From the moment you walk in, it is a top tier experience. You have to take a moment to breathe in the smell of fresh bread and pastries before you can even begin thinking about what you're going to order. The atmosphere is perfect and the display of all of their beautiful pastries and desserts was wonderful. We ordered a Nutella croissant, pineapple tart, and kouign amann (positive that I spelled that wrong...). Every item was delicious and baked to perfection. The employee working was so kind and helpful. She boxed up our items for us to pick up after dinner so that my other friends' items could be refrigerated. If I had one suggestion -- I think it would be helpful to label the flavors of the macaroons in the display case. They were listed on a sign, but I would have loved to have known the flavor of each one individually. Excellent experience overall, very happy with everything from atmosphere to service to product!

    So nobody answers the phone and the mailbox is full. I guess they are open for business?
