The space itself is absolutely stunning with lots of seating both inside and outside. The store has a lot of floral decor, which gives it a very clean and spring vibe. The standouts for me here was the banana pudding, Matcha and the array of pastries they had available. We purchased two drinks here, one of which was the banana pudding Matcha and the other was a tiramisu cold brew. The banana pudding Matcha is one of the best drinks I've ever had with a rich high-quality Matcha and fresh creamy banana pudding inside. It's basically two desserts in one, and the flavors complement each other so well. Highly highly recommend - it's viral for a reason. The tiramisu cold brew was also good, although next time I would probably opt for a latte on the bottom since the cold brew is pretty strong. The foam on top was sweet and creamy. The pastries here are absolutely stunning, and I wish I could buy the entire display case. We ended up purchasing a Dubai chocolate croissant and a plain salt bread. The Dubai chocolate croissant was very unique - on the drier side but it definitely had that crunch and flake. I wish they had a little bit more chocolate or buttery elements to balance out the dryness of the cocoa powder. The salt bread was absolutely delicious, very well-made with a chewy texture. I will 100% be back to try everything else that Bag of Cakes has to offer. Highly recommend! We visited on a weekday during the afternoon since it was spring break, and there wasn't a line, but I've heard that lines can get long. There is plenty of parking in the plaza that it's located in. Definitely check this place out!!

Love this Asian bakery their pastries were unique and delicious. Came here during lunch time, and…read morethe lines weren't too bad. Friendly staff members, seatings in the inside and outside. Get in line, staff member takes your order with the pastries, then you pay at the front. There is a kiosk, but it's only for drinks. The drinks did take awhile that's the only con I would say about this place. Definitely a must try, their drinks had a great refreshing taste to it not too sweet. The cake slices were moist, enjoyed the mango slice cake and cruffin had an interesting taste.

Located in a plaza just a block from the 405 and John Wayne Airport, I made a special trip to this…read moreplace after a friend treated me to some cookies she got at their Santa Monica location. This location is much closer to home, so I visited one afternoon when craving their cookies. The interior is modern, classy-bougie, with 4 tables and a large cushy chair. I ordered two cookies, the chocolate chip walnut and peanut butter chocolate, along with an iced horchata latte. I sat at one of the tables, opened the box my cookies were presented in, and found myself in cookie ecstasy. The cookies are fat mountains of deliciousness. Slightly crisp outside and soft inside (note: even softer if taken home and warmed up). The chocolate chip was crammed full of chips and the walnuts were in tiny bits to keep the cookie's texture soft. The chocolate cookie was also enormous and had an abundance of peanut butter chips. Both were superb. The horchata latte had just enough ice to keep it cold. It had a bold flavor of cinnamon which I loved. Staff here were friendly, efficient, and speedy. I like the vibe of this place but like their cookies even more.

They took the time to explain all the cake options and helped create a custom design exactly the way I wanted. My friend was completely surprised and deeply touched. She said it was a moment she'll never forget. The cake tasted amazing, the design was absolutely beautiful, and the delivery was perfectly on time. I'm so grateful to the chef Kang for making this experience so special. If you're looking for a high-quality, unique, and meaningful cake, I highly recommend them!

Overpriced for what you get--mostly plastic, not pastry art…read more I have mixed feelings about my experience here. While the cake design looked great at first glance, I cannot recommend this business given the $400 price tag for a 6-inch cake. The design is "pretty," but it is misleading. Almost all the decorations were non-edible plastic ornaments, paper printouts, and pre-made models rather than handcrafted sugar work or fondant. For this price, I expected artisanal craftsmanship, not a collection of plastic balls and paper toppers. Once you strip away the non-edible parts, you are left with a basic chiffon cake that tastes no different from a $40 cake at a standard Asian bakery. The massive markup seems to be for the "styling" of plastic toys rather than the actual baking or artistry. It felt like paying a premium for a cake that I had to "disassemble" just to eat.

We have made pit stops at this OG branch of Cream Pan in Tustin over the years. The location of…read morethis well-known Japanese/French bakery was unusual in that it's isolated in a corner of the El Camino Plaza. I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.

They did have fresh blueberry muffins just out of the oven. The helpful gentleman also went over what croissants were available and daughter chose the popular pistachio croissant and an almond croissant. She also got 3 Madeleines for the tea party and wished to try the Pear Charlotte which the very pleasant man affirmed was a good choice. The madeleines had a mild citrus taste and was well liked. One of our guests asked to take one home with her. The croissants were amazing and we will need to get the almond chocolate one next time. The Pear Charlotte is a cake filled with cream surrounded by what appears to be lady fingers topped with a thick pear slice. We had not asked for pricing, but receipt shows the bakery is pricey.

I had a very disappointing experience with this bakery…read more When I first called to place an order for my baby's birthday, I specifically asked if they could make gluten-free cupcakes. I was assured that they could, and they immediately took my payment. Later that same night, I received a voicemail saying they actually could not accommodate the gluten-free request. The next morning, I called back and agreed to proceed with regular cupcakes, but I clearly emphasized that I needed the order ready by Wednesday at 8:00 AM. This was very important, as the cupcakes were for my baby's daycare birthday celebration. When I arrived on Wednesday morning with my baby to pick up the order, I was told there was an issue in the kitchen and the cupcakes were not ready. I was asked to wait another 20 minutes. This was extremely frustrating, the order was placed three days in advance, and it was only for 12 cupcakes. Because of their lack of reliability, I had no choice but to leave without the order, drop my baby off at daycare without cupcakes, and rush to work. I ended up buying cupcakes from a supermarket instead, which completely defeated the purpose of ordering from a bakery. To make matters worse, while I was there, the pastries on display looked unappealing and not fresh. Overall, this experience was very disappointing. I will not be returning or recommending this bakery.
