    Pandan Milk Bread with Coconut
    Arnel E.

    CA Bakehouse still is popular. There were regulars lining-up at 1pm to order products by the door. Customers still weren't allowed inside the bakery area. One queue was for online orders (recommended by the bakehouse) and the other was manned by an attendant with a tablet and a printed menu. Parking wasn't a hassle this time as there were plenty of spots. Add the fact that we were now familiar with Vietnam Town. We got our usuals with choux (Kaya and Ube), Pandan-Coconut Milk Bread and Banh Bo (honeycomb cake). The mention worthy Guava filled Mochi Cake was so good! A yummy tip that elevates this baked good was when I toasted it (4 minutes) in an airfryer. The crunchy surface with the chewy mochi texture plus the sweet guava stuffing was the perfect ratio I was looking for in a dessert pastry. Can't wait to go back and have more of the guava filled goodness!

    I love the different unique flavors of baked goods they have here. Kaya croissant and Ube croissant, so flaky and amazing flavors. Their cream puffs are also pretty good, I love the flavors that they offer too. I tried the hojicha one and it was superb! Definitely would come back for their baked goods again.

    Original pandan waffles and best egg tarts in town!

    It's been a weekly refill that I've been getting my Asian desserts and I'm so happy about that! Both my sis' would grab my favs: durian egg tarts, ube croissant, coconut milk bread and now cookies are also my fav! I can't tell you how much Mama Lam has these baked goods down! I wanted to gate keep this the last 6-7 yrs I've been here and I did for a bit, lol! It was nice not having long lines but she deserves all the fame for her endless hard-work to make THE BEST ASIAN DESSERTS!! I love her for that bc you can literally taste so much love in her foods! It's consistently good and she pops out new items like these cookies! I got the Vietnamese coffee cookies and the 52% cacao chocolate chips for me and my nephew. Oh boy! Did he tear it up and tell me thank you for the desserts. These cookies were only $3 each, $3! What a steal and to see home bakeries try to sell their cookies for $5 at their home, such a ripoff! I support local business but do not charge such high fees when you don't have a storefront. I appreciate Mama Lam for delivering delicious baked goods without charging an arm and a leg and still have a store to manage. Her prices have not changed much since I've been here over 7 yrs! She's a GOAT for this! Please support small business, especially women-owned and hardworking people like her and she loves what she does. I can't thank her enough for bringing me the best goods for a fraction of the prices and I don't have to make a trip to Vietnam!

    Finally got to try this place. We placed our order and it was ready within minutes. Friendly service. Banh Bo aka honeycomb cake slice: 5/5 excellent bouncy chewy texture and flavor! Egg tarts: I tried the egg and Kaya flavor but was not a fan. I didn't like the taste or the texture of the crust. Kaya aka pandan choux: 5/5 excellent pandan custard filling and good outside texture.

    If you're in San Jose and want to try something unique, please stop by CA bake house. They mix traditional flavors like pandan with more modern desserts. Parking: - This is in Vietnam town so parking can be hectic. That said, If you're willing to walk, there's a lot of parking options! Taste: - So yummy! The flavors here are light and sweet Service: - So the interior is mostly closed off to customers. You can order in front of the store or online. They are quick to get orders out and sometimes have multiple folks taking orders outside.

    Fast and delicious pastries! We loved the guava mochi cake and pandan cookie! The pandan waffle was a little too bland for our tasting so will skip next time. The Choux filling was also tasty!

    Great little bakery in the plaza. They have a pretty nice selection of goods, from egg tarts to different breads and also drinks. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't that busy. We picked up 2 egg tarts, normal and pandan flavor, and pandan buns/rolls. The normal egg tart was delicious, perfectly crumbly and creamy. I had high hopes for the pandan one but it wasn't as good as the original - it wasn't as creamy as I would've liked. We had the pandan buns later over the course of the week and they were so good! Amazingly fluffy, flavored with pandan and coconut. That was totally worth it for the price point. Overall I'd definitely recommend this place, especially for the pandan buns.

    Walked by and decided to try a fresh baked pastry on a cold rainy day. We were pleasantly surprised! I liked the egg tart, the filling is like a custard. The guava mochi was pretty good too, it has a light guava jam filling at the bottom. Really quick to order and get served. There's no seating, just grab and go

    Portuguese Egg Tart

    Seriously. SO GOOD. If I lived in San Jose, I would eat here all the time. I stopped in while visiting the area for a work conference and CA Bakehouse did not disappoint. We got so many things: * Ube + taro choux * Ube + taro croissant * Portuguese egg tarts * Pandan Green Waffle * and Pandan bread My favorites had to be a toss up between the flaky, delicious Portuguese egg tart and the perfectly filled ube + taro choux. If you've never had a choux, it's almost like an elevated cream puff. I definitely recommend coming early, they seem to run out of goods quickly. Parking can also be hard to find since CA Bakehouse is located in a busy shopping center. You order at the door and the person taking your order will hand you all of your pastries. There's not a ton of seating in the area, unless you're dining at a neighboring business, so we ate in our car. ...But I have zero regrets about those crumbs because it was worth it!

    Kaya Choux & Kaya Honeycomb Cake
    Megan J.

    The Kaya Choux is the shiiiii. I get it every time I come. I wanted to try something new today and the staff recommended the Kaya Honeycomb Cake. The slice was super small, and the texture was a bit odd. It was almost rubbery so I'm definitely skipping that next time. It is solely to-go, no seating whatsoever. There is a self service tablet, as well as staff taking orders right at the door of the business. Typically always a line, and they tend to sell out on popular items because people like myself, order multiples to bring home to enjoy later. You can air fry the Kaya Chouxs and they're just as good.

    On a super fast trip to NorCal for a wedding, we were right by CA Bakehouse and I couldn't help myself. I had to make a trip here to try it since its been on my bookmarks forever and who knows when I will be back to this area next. Let's just say I went a bit crazy with ordering. When I read the menu it was like man just take all my money. And then when I tried a bite of each item, this spot would be so deadly if it was closer to me. I probably would eat it all of the time. Everything was nice and soft and not overly sweet. I was able to taste the flavor of each item. I definitely give this spot 2 thumbs up and if I am in the area I definitely would come back 100%! No hesitation on that! Ordered: Banh Bo Nhung Kaya Croissant Pandan cookie Black seasme cookie Pandan waffle Pandan tart Durian tart Vietnamese coffee cookie, Egg tart TIPS: *No seating available *Super busy plaza shared with other businesses. *Credit card only *Order on kiosk or ask staff to take your order.

    Portuguese Egg Tart, Kaya egg tart, Honeycomb Cake
    Susan C.

    CA Bakehouse is this tiny bakery in the main Little Saigon plaza. You order on the tablet outside and they call your name when your order is ready; there's no seating or anything and it's meant to be quick and casual. Don't let the long line deter you because it goes by fast! Hours are pretty limited so there will almost always be a line if you're going on a weekend. Onto the pastries! Portuguese egg tart: amazing! The perfect hybrid of a Chinese and Portuguese egg tart because it's not too sweet like a Chinese egg tart but still has the amazing flakiness of a Portuguese egg tart. Kaya egg tart: bright green and had an amazing coconutty pandan vanilla flavor. This may have been lifechanging for me. I'm not even that big of an egg tart fan to begin with. Honeycomb cake: my friend had said this was a nostalgic sweet treat for her and I can see why it'd be comforting. Simple and chewy and lightly sweetened. Very good! Slices are quite small though for the $3.50 price. Will be coming back for more for sure!

    My friend and I planned a trip to South Bay solely for this bakery. Please keep in mind their hours before coming!! You can also order online for fast and easy pickup. I visited before, and I knew I had to bring my friend to try these unique pastries. As someone who loves durian, pandan, and Asian flavors, I love this bakery! I would highly recommend any of the durian and kaya pastries, so so good. The owner is the cutest lady too.

He explained that they are a small batch bakery. All the pastries, behind the glass, looked amazing and were decorated so beautifully. I decided to get one Lemon-Raspberry Meringue Tart and one Mix Berry Vanilla Creme Tart. Mr. Manaois boxed up my selections and helped me at the register. They also gave many varieties of hot beverages, sweet and savory scones and sweet and savory croissants. There are also a lot of different pastries. This would be a great place to have a small relaxing breakfast. There are several places inside to enjoy your goodies. Both desserts, that I purchased, were so delicious. My favorite was the lemon raspberry meringue tart. The tartness of the lemon-raspberry filling worked so perfectly with the delicious sweet meringue. I will definitely come here again to try other items.

They're best known for their famous Burnt Almond Cake, though they also offer a variety of other pastries. Personally, I come here just for the cake.

We ended up getting three burnt almond cake slices (2 vanilla 1 chocolate) and some brownies. The brownies were pretty good, balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet and I enjoyed the walnuts, but it was a very fudge like texture and I prefer my brownies to be slightly more cake-y and airy. If you like fudge brownies you'd like these. My issue was the burnt almond cake, both vanilla slices were on the dry side. The chocolate slice had a hint of chocolate otherwise tasted exactly the same. The almonds and cream were fine, I would've preferred stronger almond flavor. Was meh. Price is good at $5 for a hefty slice. If I'm in the area maybe I'd go back, otherwise it was about the same as a Safeway cake slice.

It's an interesting blend that kind of works, even if it takes a second to figure out what the "theme" is supposed to be. They offer a wide range of desserts and drinks. On one side, you've got items like tartufo (chocolate, cappuccino, limoncello, pistachio), sorbets, and cheesecake slices in the display case. On the other side, they have traditional Vietnamese-style desserts like sweet soups (chè), grass jelly, black-eyed bean pudding, and combo desserts with things like cassava, jelly, and coconut. There's also a solid drink menu with milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and specialty coffees. I ordered the latte with matcha foam, and while I don't usually go for sweet drinks, this one was definitely on the sweeter side--but still really good. The matcha foam added a nice earthy balance to the coffee underneath. My friend got the three-color iced drink (the one with layered beans and jelly), and if you're into that texture and flavor profile, you'd probably enjoy it. The service stood out. The man helping us (possibly the owner) was very friendly, patient, and took the time to explain menu items, which I appreciated since some of the desserts aren't as familiar if you haven't had them before. The display case also looked well-stocked and clean, with everything neatly packaged and labeled, which made it easy to browse. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're in the area and want something a little different from the usual dessert shops. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because the concept feels slightly all over the place, but the quality, variety, and service definitely make it worth checking out.
