My family and I have been patrons of Cream Pan in Tustin for nearly two decades now, even before…read morethe TikTok strawberry croissant craze and even before it opened more locations like in Fountain Valley and Lomita. The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.

Had to opportunity to check this place out prior to our trek back to NorCal, immediately following AYCE shabu, and I'm glad I didn't pass up on the opportunity, given that my stomach has seemingly reached full capacity. As we entered, we were gifted the pleasure of a warm greeting by a staff member who then sat us down and gave us first-timers a brief overview of the menu, his recommendations, and a brief history lesson about the origin of Fluffy Fluffy. After some waiting, we were presented with three aesthetically pleasing plates of these highly hyped fluffy pancakes. I then grabbed a knife and fork to cut into the stack of pancakes and was astonished by how... for a lack of better word, fluffy they were. Upon first bite, I expected a rush of sugar to register after a few seconds of chewing. However, that sensation never came. The pancakes were just the right level of sweet. A few minutes later, the plates were completely cleared and I was back to suffering from again reaching full capacity and thought to myself, "when will I ever learn?". All in all, great hospitality from staff, clean and upbeat ambiance, and most importantly excellent dessert items that were easy to consume without the feeling of developing instantaneous diabetes after finishing. Highly recommended.

I also ordered their waffle salmon sandwich-it came with fries and salad-large portion but wasn't impressive. The restaurant was empty and we had to wait awhile for the cashier to come out to help us-even though there's a little window that I can hear as well as see the chef and cashier talking. Lots of tables to sit and very bright kiddish environment.

Everything was made fresh to order (except the bites), and you can tell they take their time putting everything together. The Crepuccini was by far my favorite. The combination of warm crepe, cinnamon apples, white chocolate, and vanilla ice cream was so good, and now I want to go back just to try more flavor combinations. The Spanish latte was good, although I was expecting it to be a little sweeter. The peach smoothie was refreshing, and while the mango bursting boba was fun to try, I realized I still prefer traditional boba. The menu has so many different options that it was honestly hard to choose. Tons of parking, a small place but def a few tables for comfortable seating. If you're looking for a fun dessert spot in Tustin, I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

You have to order at a kiosk and then eat in the dedicated space, adjacent to a Mama Lu's. Service is quick and you pick it up at the counter. We enjoyed the grass jelly, as it was not too sweet and the addition of the half and half was interesting. Having a little more shaved ice in it would have enhanced it and having more of the nice soft and chewy mochi would have enhanced the dish more. Parking is ample, but if you're not paying attention the place might be a little hard to find as the parking lot is not that well lit.

Baked Banhs have some of the best canelés in town, and sadly, they are closing on June 27th! We are…read moreso sad we didn't get to come visit until quite recently. :( We parked in the nearby parking lot on 4th street. Usually parking here isn't too bad if you're staying for less than an hour and easy to walk over to the dessert shop. Baked Banhs is located in the 4th street food market, one of the first shops you'll see if you're coming from the parking lot. Note the hours before you come (for instance, they're closed on Sundays and Mondays). And note that they seem to usually sell out of certain items by the days end. We've tried a number of different items here now including four of their canelés and their basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was solid. But we really loved their canelés. They are soft/moist on the inside with a nice crunch. And the different flavors really come through. Our favorite is the black sesame - not only is there black sesame peppered on the top but also in the center with a nice black sesame cream. It's so good and delicious. Four canelés cost $16 and thought they were well worth the price. Again, it's so sad to hear that Baked Banhs is closing soon so if you're a fan of canelés or other desserts, recommended to come sooner than later to try this out! We really hope they reopen again elsewhere or do a lot of pop-ups soon.

Honestly one of the best donut places I've encountered recently. Best when hot though (which is…read morealways). They turn into just above average donuts after they cool down. But after trying Oliboli I have to ask myself why doesn't everybody do this? This is ingenious. If you wondered why Krispy Kreme was so popular when the "hot donuts" sign is on - this is donuts taken to another level. FOOD: Donuts are terrific. Even cooled down they still are tasty but definitely go down a level. Had the chocolate which is very dark chocolate like instead of a milk chocolate so if you don't like a more bitter chocolate then maybe go a different direction. Also had the dutch apple pie and that was AMAZING! So many of them look good. They rotate flavors so you won't see the same ones every time. SERVICE: Really nice. Very helpful and patient and they get the donuts out pretty quickly. Everyone there had smiles on their faces and sure it costs a bit more but the portion size is huge. One donut will do ya! COST: Again more than your average donut place but you certainly get your money's worth! Would highly recommend.

Been here one or two times before and decided to finally write a review this time!…read more Parking looks hard to find initially but the parking lot actually wraps around the buildings all the way to the back so there are plenty of spots. When you enter, they have a display case that shows what each donut they offer looks like. You order and pay at the counter, give them your name, and find a seat while you wait for them to call out your name. There's always a little bit of a wait for your donuts because they fry them all fresh! The dough they use is also similar to a sourdough, so the taste and texture is so unique. They have their standard/permanent flavors as well as seasonal/rotating ones. My friends and I shared the Banoffee ($7.95), Pumpkin Pie ($8.95), Pumpkin Glazed ($5.75), and Bumbleberry Glazed ($5.50). Each donut is hefty so sharing is the way to go. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried them before. You won't be disappointed!

Anyhow, I saw that they've upgraded their menus on their TVs. So I decided to take some pics of it.

You will almost never catch me eating sweets on purpose. This all changed during an unplanned day date with my lady that turned into one of those unexpectedly great days, and it started at Filo. Not the easiest place to spot from the circle. You have to actually look for it. Do that. It's worth the discovery. Nice cozy, relaxed feel inside too. We shared the kunafa with baklava crunch ice cream on top. Wow. Heaven. Warm, crispy, stretchy, with cold ice cream melting into the pastry. I couldn't stop eating it and secretly wished I hadn't agreed to share. The whole thing tasted like an experience. I also had a scoop of strawberry ice cream too, which is not a sentence I expected to write about myself this weekend. I only ever touch ice cream when I need it as an offering to calm a certain someone down when she, umm, never mind...back to the pleasant day... The lady running the place was amazing. You could tell she actually loves making this stuff and loves watching people lose their minds over it. That energy is contagious and adds to the experience. This is the kind of place you remember. It snuck up on me and fed me something so ridiculously good I won't soon forget it and will be back to try more of the menu. Highly, highly recommended.

The Food: We got the Ube Cashew Brownie and the Jasmine calamansi iced tea. The former is like a traditional brownie but instead of chocolate it's made of ube (purple yam), which was moist, sweet but not too sweet, and absolutely delicious. All that goodness was balanced by the cashews. The Jasmine Calamansi Iced Tea, which as the name connotes, combines Jasmine tea and Calamansi (an Asian citrus) juice. I'm not big on either but itself, but together this drink made for a refreshing drink. The Service: Everyone who works there is top notch: fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Setting: It's located in the Tustin District, which has one of the worst engineered parking lots in Southern California. Firstly, the ingresses and egresses snarl traffic like crazy. Secondly, there are no parking structures, so it's tough to find a good spot up close during peak hours. The Interior: The cafe itself is narrow so there's not a ton of space to hangout I'd you're with a big crowd. It's nicely decorated and relatively clean, though the trash can was hard to find and filled to the brim. Plus, there weren't a ton of napkins. The Price: I would have given this place a perfect 5 out of 5 were it not for the higher-than-normal prices and the horrific parking situation. The Conclusion: Cafe 86 is our go-to spot when we have a sugar craving and don't mind paying a little bit more to get Filipino-inspired dessert.
