    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.

My husband…read moreordered it for me, but I wanted to come with him to see what other goodies they had to offer. This was both our first time coming here. We used to shop and order our cakes from Dick's bakery, up until they burnt down. We loved their famous burnt almond cake. When I heard that Peter's makes an excellent burnt almond cake, as well, I knew that's where I wanted my birthday cake to come from. When I opened the door, to enter the bakery, a fresh smell of baked goods and sweets hit me in the best possible way. It smelled like fresh maple glazed donuts. I love that smell. We were warmly greeted by the staff. It wasn't busy at all, so we took our time looking for other sweets to purchase. They found our pre-ordered cake and they did a wonderful job decorating with a cute pumpkin on the top. We also chose an apricot danish, a maple bar and a raisin snail. The prices were very affordable and reasonable here. I really loved how all the pastries and cakes. were displayed in their cases. Everything looked amazing. They even sell fresh loaves of bread and rolls. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were immediately helped with a smile. I love the old fashioned vibe in here. Both pastry and cake boxes were tired up with sting, to properly secure our box. We paid for our goods and hurried home to try a few of them. The maple doughnut was good. I loved the icing better than the doughnut itself. The apricot danish was delicious and so soft. The apricots on the top were not overly sweet, which I prefer. The pumpkin burnt almond cake was so good. The cake was so soft and light with a wonderful pumpkin flavor that reminds me of fall. The frosting and custard filling paired perfectly with the pumpkin cake. The caramelized almonds covered the entire outer cake and offered a nice flavorful crunch. The whole thing works perfectly. I didn't even know you could get the burnt almond cake in pumpkin. A huge thank you to my friend John D. for letting me know about this limited time fall flavor. We will definitely be back for more soon.

On September 4, 2026, I ordered and paid for my mother's 96th birthday cake--a burnt almond cake--a day in advance. When I arrived to pick it up, the line was very long, and the wait took far too long. Unfortunately, the cake itself was unbelievably dry and crumbled with every bite. After recommending Peter's Bakery to family and friends for many years, I was embarrassed to serve this cake. Sadly, it took away from a very special birthday celebration. I hope Peter's Bakery improves both its customer service and the quality of its cakes.

Whoever was helping us was really not much help at all. I guess at least she was honest, but she didn't know what any of the cakes tasted like and if it was buttercream or whipped cream. The cake itself was dry and hard: the texture was oh so wrong. I don't know if it was old, frozen for too long, or some odd ingredients? But for $65 for a small 6", it was very disappointing. We also got the small bisou and a small napoleon. Better than the cake, but still just ok.
