Here's the thing, there are just so many good baked goods to choose from at Cafe Bleu Bakery in Buena Park (next to Zion market, on the north end of Beach Blvd.) They bake them from scratch, in-house, so you can always count on the breads, buns, cakes and cookies being fresh! For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework. read more

Cute little bakery with so many Korean-inspired breads and pastries to choose from. If you love black sesame, the black sesame bread with red bean and a touch of cream is a must -- so flavorful and absolutely delicious. The chocolate cheesecake castella cake was super moist, the custard bread had the perfect balance of sweetness, soft and fluffy with just the right amount of filling. The almond bread was tasty too, with raisins mixed in for extra texture. One thing to note for anyone with nut allergies: although the ingredient label only listed almonds, there seemed to be other nuts present as we experienced an allergic reaction despite not being allergic to almonds. read more

I have tried quite a few pastries from the shop, and the ones that would make me come back for more are the: - Corn Rice Cake (super delicious! Especially if you love cream corn, this one just hits) - Black Sesame filled with Red Bean and Cream (the nuttiness from the black sesame enhance the overall flavor of this bun) - Red Bean Mochi (I've been liking for just a simple red bean mochi, and I found it) - Rice Cracker with sliced almonds, black & regular sesame seeds, sugar (this was a game changer! It's so good, this is my new go to snack) - Mocha Cake Slice (moist and creamy) The above items are just sooo good! They were the most favorite in the group. Every bite was delicious and a must have when we come here. Thank you Cafe Bleu Bakery for the yummy treats! read more

Its difficult to find a good bakery that is fully stocked with readily made items now a days. Cafe Bleu Bakery is a good standard Korean owned pastry shop that has it all. I've been to this bakery a few times. I came in here recently with some friends after our dinner in the plaza. We got a bunch of stuff to try and bring home. They had lots of fresh made pastries, breads, savory items, and cakes made and ready to be eaten. We asked them what was most popular and they showed us these rice cookie/crackers with almonds on top. They tasted buttery and were highly addictive. I also love their sweet potato mochi which are hard to find in other korean pastry shops. And I also love their cream filled breads. They also have beautifully made cakes that range from $42-$48 each. You can even purchase slices to eat there. Cafe Bleu also has a drink menu with lots of options, which includes teas and matchas. They even had drinks you can't get anywhere. My friend got a ginger tea which was enjoyable. The staff there was very nice and answered all our questions. I love the wide variety and plentiful of places to sit and eat. We will be back. read more

Cafe Bleu is officially our spot for birthday cakes. We've started a new birthday tradition where each kiddo gets to pick their own cake, and this place makes it way too easy. Their cake selection is always on point--cute, fun, and tons of sizes and flavors to choose from. The rainbow cake was a total show-stopper at my daughter's unicorn-themed birthday (and tasted just as good as it looked). Every cake feels special, which is kind of the whole point of a birthday, right? We added a few personal touches to the cake and it was PERFECT. If you want fun, happy, celebration-worthy cakes, Cafe Bleu is the place to go. read more

This bakery is a popular on social media and with the older crowd (esp during mid-day). I come for the vanilla roll, hot dog bread with sugar, croquette, and the occasional chocolate chip cookie. They have a variety of baked goods and cakes. If it looks like they're out of something, ask one of the employees and usually they're happy to check the back. Good to note: $5 min for credit card. read more

This place did way beyond the expectations! I had a friends bday coming up and was in need of a bday cake very last min (literally the next day) I called them to see if I can secure a cake for me for the next day. They usually only sell the strawberry cream cake but I ask them to do a triple berry cream cake with black berries and blueberries as well. I also asked them to make the cake plain and white with just decorated the rims of the cake. The next day I went to pick up the cake I also asked them to write on the cake and they delivered! The writing was beautifully written! I love how aesthetically it came out! Cake tasted amazing too! Very spongy moist and soft. Cream was very light and not too sweet overall! From service to the quality of cake and the price $45 we were impressed! read more

I got the bear cake from here AND ITS SO CUTE AND DELICIOUS!! It's not too sweet and the small size fed my family of 6 no problem (photo is the large cake though). The only thing is that I'd say it's a bit pricey for a small cake at $40, but since it's a unique shape I think it was worth it. The workers are so nice and were able to set a cake aside for me to pick up later in the day. read more

This café is super cute. I love that there's plenty of parking and it's easy to get to. It's really self-serve. You get a plate plates and you put whatever pastries you want on the plate and then the workers they ring you up. Service was good; nothing to complain about. The pastries were just OK. It's nothing special. I prefer 85° over this bakery though. The price of the pastries here are the same as 85°. I just prefer 85° pastries more because I like the taro options. Where as Café BLEU does not have any taro options. It could be that we came almost at closing time. Maybe we will give it another go during the day. read more

It's such a cute atmosphere inside, and the employee was helpful and attentive. I got the pecan tart for a coworker, and she told me it was good. But I haven't tried it myself, so I can't speak on it. But, everything looks tasty, and I really want to try one of their cakes! read more

Decided to stop by, as my mom had been reading review after review of this place. The service was excellent, the lady at the counter was happy to show us around, telling us her personal favorites and was happy to answer any additional questions. The prices for the breads and buns weren't bad, ranging from $3.50-4.75+ for the most part. The cakes on the other hand were quite pricey for the size that they were. As a result we got three bread buns to choose from, a sweet potato and black sesame bun with cream and red bean paste and a curry bun. The staff were happy to warm up our curry bun while we sat down, there were free cups to get water from if you didn't feel like ordering a drink, overall it was a nice spot to hand out. read more

Injeolmi cake slice $6.75 (roasted soybean powder cake) Nice density to the whipped cream light and fluffy, decently flavored cake Crumbs aren't that crunchy, but they provide texture as they are more grainy Very hard to find in a standalone bakery in oc! Cream is like 85% of the way to Korea in terms of milkiness haha In terms of flavor, It's like eating oats, but sweetened with a nutty aftertaste I guess lmao For injeolmi flavored things, it def hits the mark. The texture is the winner for me rather than the flavor. If it had a teensy more injeolmi flavor, I'd like it more, but it's super solid! Would def get again and coming back for the sweet potato one lol read more

Bought a pretty rainbow cake from this bakery for my kid's birthday. Did not expect much as most rainbow cakes i've tried have been pretty dry. I mostly wanted the look of the cake for photos. However, this one surprised me. Not only was it very pretty, but it was also moist and yummy and delicious! My family normally can't finish a cake and would usually have leftovers, but this cake my kids and I were scrambling for seconds. Even my husband liked it and that's saying something. read more

Cafe Bleu Bakery is a charming Korean bakery specializing in a unique selection of modern and traditional Korean pastries. This spot is located in the same plaza as Zion Market and there is a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they a pretty spacious setup with about 6-7 tables for seating as well. They had so many delicious looking pastries that it was definitely hard to decide which ones to get. We ended up getting the Chocolate Chip Cookie, Fried Croquette, Curry Croquette, and a Corn Rice Cake from the bakery section. In addition to the pastries, we also got an Earl Grey Milk Tea and a Matcha Latte to wash it all down. Overall, everything that we had was delicious! Cafe Bleu definitely stands out compared to other bakeries with its Korean influences. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Come stop by and support this awesome business! read more

The pastries are so, so scrumptious. I love sweets, the sweeter the better. I was pleasantly surprised that the pastries were not too sweet but they tasted so very delicious. I didn't feel guilty at all for eating two in one day. I'm excited to go back. I purchased a pound cake with cream cheese. I also purchased an apple pie pastry and one other item. I don't remember the name of it but it was delicious. I highly recommend this Bakery. I must add the service was great! read more

Was looking for a bakery in the area and stopped by to give it a try. They had a wide variety of korean pastries to choose from and a busy seating area in the back. I liked that they included the time that they put out the bread and when they will be removing it so you know they're serving fresh bread! The pastries I chose were a bit underwhelming though, but tastefully not too sweet. It was also nice that they offered samples near the front. Might come back to try their coffee or cakes if I'm in the area again. read more

We got a very reasonably priced 4 person dessert mini cake for a friends birthday. It was blueberry and it was yummy. The cashier also asked me if I needed birthday candles, which was an awesome added surprise. Packaging kept the cake in tact nicely for the drive home as well! read more

We've tried a couple cakes from here before. It's not bad. It's your typical asian cake where it's not too sweet. The only downside about this place is the cakes have too much cream for my liking. Personal preference! I've ordered 3 cakes here recently for our kids birthdays. There was more layered cream than there was actual cake so just fyi. read more

Saw an ad for Cafe Bleu Bakery on Instagram. My sister and I are always looking for new restaurants & cafes to visit and were pleasantly surprised to find this local gem next door to Zion Market. We bought: - Iced Americano coffee (deep, rich heavily caffeinated). Perfect. - Iced Cafe Bleu House Blend coffee. Drip brew (lighter brew). - Red bean filled mochi. Sweet and gooey. - Salted garlic bread. Billowy texture. Light garlic flavor. Delicious. - Ginger cookies. Tiny medallion, wafer thin. Melts in the mouth. Light ginger tang. - Croissant. Bagged so no longer crispy. No sandwiches or salads available. Slices of some cakes were available. I wanted to try the Rainbow cake (reminiscent of King's Hawaiian Paradise cake). No single slice available this time so I'll have to go back in the near future. Friendly, attentive service. We were greeted coming in and leaving. During lunchtime all tables filled. Limited interior seating. Additional seating (2 tables) outside. read more

Cafe Bleu Bakery - Ginger cookies and one red bean filled mochi. - Bakeries Near Me - Buena Park, California

I'm hooked. I saw people hyping this place up on IG and tried to resist for the longest time because I thought it was just a viral marketing tactic. Now I keep coming back to try more of Cafe Bleu's innovative and intriguing selection of baked goods. My favorites so far are the black sesame walnut tapioca, corn danish, and red velvet castella. The black sesame tapioca reminds me of jian dui a little bit in its chewy texture, but it's not fried and doesn't have red bean paste inside. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the red velvet castella. I'm not a castella person and don't really care for red velvet, but I love the moist and airy sponge. I thought it had a cream cheese filling, but mine had no filling, which I was completely okay with given how good the cake was. I've also tried a few other items, like the potato and corn mochi, sweet potato bread, chocolate soboro, corn sable, twist donut, pineapple cream, fried curry croquette, etc. I've been obsessed with everything corn lately, and the mochi here are slightly cheaper than Smoking Tiger's and comparable in taste. The potato mochi was very different since it's more savory and filled with what I could only describe as mashed potato. The twist donut dusted with injeolmi (I assume, from the color) on the counter is also pretty good that I devoured it in one sitting. The pineapple cream is different from Taiwanese pineapple bread. I like the airy and slightly salty bread, but I wish it were filled with pineapple jam instead of cream with a few small chunks of pineapple. Okayama kobo has better croquettes imo. Overall I haven't had anything that was terrible; most things have been decent if not really good. My least favorite so far is the corn sable. I've also tried the Vietnamese latte and tiramisu latte. The Vietnamese latte taste different from the Viet coffee I'm used to with strong phin drip coffee and a generous amount of condensed milk, but I enjoyed it regardless. It still woke me up despite not being as strong as a Viet coffee. I love that this bakery stays open until late. I've come here near closing, and there were still people sitting at the tables and chatting away. There is a $5 minimum if you are paying by card, but most items are around $3 anyway that you can easily get above the minimum with two breads. Parking is easy since the lot is huge. read more

The baked goodies here are just okay. Nothing special. I rather go to Sunmerry or Tous to get much better quality goodies. I purchased the pineapple cream, the almond croissant, the strawberry cream and mocha roll and the only thing good is the mocha roll. I definitely won't be back as the quality is subpar and the price for those items are not matching..... read more

This bakery is great, it's a fusion of modern and traditional Korean pastries. I have memories of my dad bringing home mammoth bread when I was a kid so I was really excited to see it here and it was delicious. They also have a full coffee menu, and really good looking cakes that would be perfect for a bday or special occasion. I'm in town visiting my parents and we've gone twice in a week because the pastries are delicious and a great value. The workers I've interacted with are also really nice and were great at answering questions I had about their coffee menu. They also have a good amount of seating inside so a great place to catch up with friends. Highly recommend this place and hope they're around for every time I come down to visit my parents. read more

I think about this bakery a lot. Saw it on Instagram one day and decided to check it out. They have lots of baked goods, there's probably something here that would cater to everyone's tastebuds. I personally bought a bunch of different things to try. They have this one baked good that's literally two slices of bread with cream inside that makes you wish all other breads were this soft. I regretted only having bought one the first time that I bought three the second time I was there. They also have cakes. Staff is nice and helpful. Bakery is located inside a big plaza, so there aren't any issues with parking. 10/10 would recommend this bakery as I have convinced myself to go again after writing this review. read more

First time preordering a cake here so I was nervous at first of how it will come out as it was for a bridal shower but the cake actually came out gorgeous! It was elegant and exactly what I wanted it for the event. The girl (owners daughter) took my order and was very helpful, wrote down everything I wanted for the cake, and did not rush me either while I was deciding on the flavor. Ended up going with the tiramisu and best decision yet. It was the most flavorful tiramisu I've ever had and cake was moist too. I will definitely order more cakes here in the future! read more

For the Asians who think "not too sweet" is the best compliment.... That's this place!! The cakes are so delicate and the cream is perfectly whipped! Yum!

Options for customization in cake decoration are limited and the only "special" request I asked for was for them to write 'happy birthday (name)' on the cake. I even said they can write it on the box if they feel like there's not enough room. I just want to know what was going through their mind when they did this and then thought it was acceptable. All we can do at this point is laugh and just take our business elsewhere next time! read more

Ambiance was quiet with soft music playing in the background. There is free wifi and seating inside plus 2-3 small tables outside as well. Staff was friendly and greeted us when we came in. They have a good variety of bread, a small drink menu, and a selection of cakes at the side. We tried a few: -Black sesame mochi ($2.50): chewy with soft filling and not too sweet. 5/5 -Pizza bread ($3): with 6 slices of sausage with cheese and ketchup topping, it was just right, satisfying my preference for savory breads. 5/5 -Almond bread ($2.50): empty filling that is soft and fluffy with sugary almond outside that is not too sweet. 5/5 -Red bean cream bread: very generous with red bean paste inside but way too sweet especially with the cream. 1/5 -Rice cake: decent and chewy. Could be sweeter for those with a sweet tooth. 4/5 -Earl grey milk tea ($5.50): average cup size. It was too sweet even though I asked for half sugar. 3.5/5 Prices were reasonable considering inflation. Would come back to get these breads again. read more

I often pass by because I like the bread options, but since we had a last minute family gathering, I volunteered to buy a cake. Porto's next door sold out many of their speciality holiday cakes, so I'm glad not a lot of people go to this one. I got their last chocolate cream cake of the day (I'm assuming?) and it was great! Everyone loved it and I'm glad I got to try their cake. (FYI, I made a phone call before heading to the shop, so feel free to call for a custom cake or check to see what's available.) read more

I got a good amount of times: croquets, the curry croquets, the white bean bread, the hot dog bread, and the chestnut dessert. The croquets were really good when warmed up, definitely should warm them up before eating. The white bean bread and the chestnut bread were a great amount of sweetness and not overwhelming. They would pair really well with some tea. The hot dog bread was slightly spiced and also tasted good. I want to come back to try some more (especially the black sesame bread) next time! There was a good amount of tables and they were filled probably half of the way with people around 3 PM on a Wednesday. read more

Big selection of bread! Recommend the jalapeño ham and cheese bread and the condensed milk baguette

The breads are very delicious and I love bringing them to my school for snacks:) my favorite is the red velvet castella.

This bakery located in Buena Park is in a strip mall. Parking is easy to find. The staff are courteous. The place was surprisingly crowded with patrons who were visiting with each other. There was no line to pay. I came around 330p.m. and there was still a good amount of baked goods left. They all look very fresh. I got the curry bun and cream bun. The curry bun has a nice crunch on the outside. The inside is filled with potato and eggs. The curry flavor wasn't overwhelming. It was pretty good 9/10. The creme bun was soft and had just the right amount of filling. It wasn't too sweet. 10/10. I got the chocolate chip cookies for my husband and kids. They said it was good. 9/10. The place was clean. There was plenty of seating. The price was definitely right as everything was under $3. The whole cake looked good but definitely pricey. read more

Stumbled upon Cafe Bleu randomly, and will be coming back to try everythinggg. Food: Macaroons, Hawaiian Ruby tea, Sweet Potato Bread Macaroons: Probably some of the biggest macaroons I have encountered, and they were just as delicious. The pistachio macaroon has actual chunks of pistachio inside of it! Sweet Potato Bread: I do love me some sweet potato pastries, and this one didn't disappoint. Something about the breadiness and starchiness of sweet potato breads make it a match made in heaven for me. Hawaiian Ruby: Lemon, Peach, and Hibiscus. What more can you ask for in a drink? Its like a peachy agua de jamaica! Notes: Everything looked super good, even the cakes. We will be back to try more pastries and drinks. read more

Cute mom and pop shop on the middle of Buena Park's plaza :) This place feels homey as you can get. The ambiance is cozy and everyone is smiling from the customers to their servers. Just good vibe everywhere makes this place special. Their food is solid and can feel your belly with the most flavorful castellas around. Their mochi was great cause it's simple but flavorful in every bite. Again this place is just felt like someone's Korean home that we got invited as a guest. I love it :) Overall, I would go here again if I'm close to this area :) read more
