    Don't do business here.  They are only interested for quick cash nothing else.  No service .  Owner does not care about her customers
    shahriar m.

    One of the worse owners I have encountered . I came about 3 weeks ago to inquire about a special order, spoke to the Asian owner and she said she would call me back to come and get a sample. Weeks went by and I never heard from her. Came back to today after 3 weeks to see her and ask about my inquiry . She said she gave my number to the cook to call me and that can not fulfill my request . What a bad Managment style . Anyways I don't recommend this place to anyone. Also the name of the business is BP but on the website it is spelled out and seems different and that is why they probably have high rating . Beware of the unprofessional owner

    Delicious! There's a wide array of Mexican bread. French rolls and sweet pastries galore. I got a chocolate concha, ham and cheese croissant, pumpkin empanada and a regular croissant. The conchas are sooooo good and all their pastries were perfectly sweet and fluffy. The croissants, both plain and ham and cheese were flaky and delicious. You can make your own egg sandwich with the croissant. Absolutely delicious! Would come here again.

    Bui Phong Bakery (aka BP Bakery) is the epitome of all that is San José: it's a French Vietnamese-owned Bakery that specializes in Mexican Pastries. Did you get all that? No? That's ok. It's a lot to wrap your head around, I know. They're located in the heart of one of San José's most Ghetto-Fabulous neighborhoods -- that's lovingly referred to by some as "Ghetto Glen." They mostly specialize in Mexican Pan Dulce -which I'm not really into- but they also have a few things in there that they do really well. Here's a quick list: Torta Bread- Wonderful Torta Rolls that are a fabulous value at 3-for-$1, and if that weren't enough they're actually quite good too--especially if you catch them straight from the oven! They also sell Torta sandwiches that are very popular with the Day Laborers and Construction Workers that are their main clientele in the morning. I have yet to try one, but maybe someday soon. 5* Cinnamon Roll- Not the greatest Cinnamon Roll I've ever had but for the price it's not bad; it doesn't have a lot of Cinnamon flavor but the bread is spot-on. 3* Croissant- They have two different Croissants: a Pan Dulce version and the standard French version. The Pan Dulce is pretty good, but not really my cup of tea. The French one, however, is very good; not as flaky or buttery as a Flower Flour Croissant but -again- for the price ($1.25) very not bad! 3*-Pan Dulce/4*-French Stuffed Croissant- They have a couple of stuffed Croissants that are excellent but I highly recommend the Turkey, Jalapeño and Cheese! It's as wonderful as it sounds. 5* Banana Cake- I just recently discovered this little gem. It's basically a slice of Banana flavored Yellow Cake, topped with Banana-encased gelatin. While the gelatin wasn't that great the cake itself was fantastic; soft, moist, not too sweet and a great banana flavor. They also have a Pineapple version that I can't wait to try! 4.5* Service & Ambiance- The ladies working the front are very friendly and speak a fair amount of English. The store is "Cash Only" and -as I mentioned before- the neighborhood is kinda suspect so be sure to lock your car. The store itself is kept clean and is usually very busy first thing in the morning and early evening. 4* Value- This is definitely BP's strong suit -on account of their stellar location- their prices are terrific. The most I've paid for anything here is a $1.75-- and that's usually for a huge pastry that could feed two people; most of their items are well below the $1 range. 5* Ordinarily I would never frequent this area, but I -fortunately!- work just a few blocks away. BP Bakery is a real diamond in the rough and I highly, highly recommend it if you're looking for some high-quality baked goods.

    All this for $4.50 cheap

    I feel like a million bucks coming to Bui Phong Bakery (BP). When I first came to BP, I almost walked out thinking I came to the wrong place. Kind of strange, Asian name but no sort of Asain baked goods. It's mainly Mexican baked goods which I don't typically eat. The crossiant filled with turkey, cheese and jalapeño is excellent. Plain Crossiant is also good, doesn't have flaky crust but still good. There pineapple pie, strawberry turnover is good. Coconut Mounds is excellent if you can get it fresh from the oven. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I gotten it when it wasn't fresh from the oven, it didn't have that crispy outside. If your there early, ask one of the ladies for fresh. BP Bakery is located in a stechy area. Serves cheap bake goods, that's why there's always a line. The ladies are very nice and line moves pretty quick. Just a few bucks and you'll have breakfast and lunch.

    False advertising on their business hours. It says they closed at 9pm everyday but they closed at 2pm. Just saving you all a trip there.

It is located next to the grocery store Nobhill and there are quick 20min parking in front of the store. We were greeted right when we entered the door and looked at the delicious treats to eat. There is the main seating area and another area in the back to sit down along with sitting outside. It felt upscale and nice. The sign in front of the store had some drink specials and I got a strawberry/matcha drink I think it was called Rose. I asked what was good here and the cashier said the mini almond pastries and other treats in the front. The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats. Good upscale vice a nice place to catch up with friends!!!

Think of an elevated apple pie or even an elevated McDonald's apple pie. Don't skip out, try it ! Also had the coconut brioche, very light but not much coconut flavor. I would come again if in the mood !

    I wanted to like this place, but I just don't see the hype…read more The pastries were stale and lacked flavor. Even the malasadas were underwhelming and if you think they are similar to Leonard's, then this does not come close. For the Portuguese tarts, they were served a bit cold. I'd recommend reheating them. The crust was so oily it seeped through the napkin and the filling was overly sweet. I took one bite and couldn't finish it. Overall, the texture and flavor didn't meet expectations. Service was decent but the staff were not friendly. This was a bit of a letdown. If you can, I'd suggest driving or taking the train to SF for this better spot, Holy Nata. It was so much better.

I got the longanisa sando. The bread was just like the typical shokupan you can find in japan. Fluffy, with a hint of sweetness. The sando's meat worked very well with the sandwich. The egg was a very nice combination too. My only complaint is that the egg could've also been fluffier, more soft and raw where egg here was pretty hard and firm. Also, it would've been good to have egg flavored with dashi or more butter, but that's all just my personal preference. The cheese really bind the meat and the egg well. What I have to mention is the habanero sauce (Or I think it was? You can see in the pic the label was kinda washed out so I'm not sure exactly what the sauce was). Perfect amount of spicy kick and a sweetness combined. Using the sauce really took up the sandwich by a notch but it might not be for everyone since it is rather spicy. The staff were very friendly and the inside had a good chill vibe with good back ground music. I'd definitely want to be back to try out more!
