They serve a simple yet diverse variety of drinks including the popular double matcha and banana matcha. Interior seating space is relatively average due to the size of the cafe, but feels optimized to hold the most tables and chairs without crowding the floor.

For starters, service was wonderful! I didn't get a chance to get his name yesterday, but barista…read moreyesterday was so upbeat and willing to offer his personal recommendations. From taking my order to getting my drink, service was fast. Plenty of seating and outdoor parking available-- perfect for studying or doing work. I've gone to this location several times for matcha and decided to try one of their fall seasonal specials this time-- a carrot cake latte with cream cheese cream top. I'm so glad that the barista recommended this drink because it was the literal definition of fall. The latte had a great subtle taste of carrot cake with a hint of a spices. I like how the sweetness wasn't too overwhelming with the perfect balance of espresso. I also got the ube cookie with a white chocolate pretzel on top of it-- it had a soft texture and a subtle taste of ube. I've also tried their oreo mallow cookie before and it was good too. Overall, aesthetic and tasty, would recommend!

They have this amazing taro pastry that's dark purple on the outside but very fluffy on the inside thats FURTHER filled with a yummy taro center! We bought it for our kids to share but ended up eating it with them as well. I wished I bought 4 of these LOL We had a few other pastries here such as their "bouche" and strawberry cheesepound cake and they were all solid as well. This is one of those bakeries that I would visit and load up for the week. Service was quick, professional, and polite. Decent amount of seating inside as well if you want to socialize or study.

Here's the thing, there are just so many good baked goods to choose from at Cafe Bleu Bakery in…read moreBuena 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.

Took my granddaughter to lunch after a treatment at UCI and she chose Portos Bakery and Café. I was…read morethrilled because I've lived in California now almost 30 years and I had never tried Porto's, but always wanted to. I was fascinated and amazed from the time we got on Beach Boulevard and tried to turn into the parking lot. You had to strategically maneuver to get into the parking lot as you searched for a parking space. Many of the parking spaces were too small because of the large vehicles that were already on either side of that spot. It was so busy and this was a Sunday afternoon. It was a gridlock procession driving up the rows waiting for someone to leave so we could park. We finally found one and went inside the famous Porto's. I couldn't believe how large it was, and how there was a bakery on two sides so you could enter either to order. The place was bustling with people sitting out on the patio, sitting in the restaurant, at the coffee bar and people waiting in the long lines. The lines surprisingly moved quickly, which I was very pleased about. The hardest part was trying to figure out what you wanted to order, Everything looked, smelled and sounded mouth watering. I loved their assortment of choices. Everything was freshly baked and prepared. You could see the chefs through the glass preparing dishes and making desserts. I LOVED the prices! Very affordable. This is what I ordered spinach feta empanadas, an almond croissant, apple strudel, potato balls, chicken empanadas, a baked ham and cheese croissant and that was To-go. We ate for lunch the Chicken Plateau Cubana and the Lecha Plata Gabbana. I also ordered the cauliflower and broccoli soup and everything and I mean everything I ordered and took home was delicious. I loved the flavor with the exception of the soup. I just don't think cauliflower and broccoli are a good mix for me. The croissants and the empanadas and the potato balls. They were just savory and flaky and flavorful, and I'm just in love and I'm definitely going back!

Korean cream puffs + coffee = such a good combo!…read more Manmi Bakery is best known for their little Korean cream puffs, and they're only $0.75 each (2026/7). They're super popular, and a lot of their other breads sell out by lunchtime too. One thing to know: you'll need to buy 12 or more cream puffs if you want them packed in a box.

Unfortunately, the rest of the baked goods we tried were just okay and nothing particularly memorable. The staff also weren't especially friendly, which took away a bit from the experience. One thing to keep in mind: there's a $0.75 charge for using a credit card, so be sure to bring cash if you want to avoid the extra fee. Parking can also be a challenge. The lot is small, and most of the spaces are better suited for compact cars. Overall, I'd come back for the cream puffs, but probably not much else.

The host of my queer romance book club picks up a box of them from time to time, so I get to enjoy them during our monthly meetings! Just recently, I got to try their strawberry and cheese filled variation, which was interesting. I think I prefer the original senorita bread, which is just a regular, warm sugar dusted version. I'll have to stop by sometime to check out their full selection and pick up a box for a family gathering. Hopefully they have some savory options since I tend to prefer that over sweet bread!

It's a little dry and lacks flavor, but the cream does help. They have a lot of packaged cookies and other treats. Everything looks tasty. Located on the top floor of the food court.

We tried this place for the first time…read more We purchased the custard bun, custard madeleine, and a potato croquette. I was so upset when we got home, because the custard madeleine is expensive for a madeleine but I got it because it has custard. $3.5 for one and once we got home, no custard filling at all and it was very dry. 0/5 The custard bun was ok. 2/5. Nothing special and lacking the richness and creaminess. Custard quality was lacking. The potato croquette was actually good, 4/5. We wouldn't return overall.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

The bread is always served warm, glazed with butter and sugar, and it's fairly inexpensive, costing $4 for five pieces. The bread is a hit at parties because the hot, sweet bread is hard to resist. I came at the end of the day, and the senorita bread was still available, hot and fresh! They're also open at 6am, which is great if I want a warm snack for the team at work. They close at 6pm; however, they have their mochi donuts, malasadas, and donuts at 50% off in their last hour of operation (5p-6p). Coming in at 5pm, I was able to get three mochi donuts for $5, and a malasada for $1.29. It's reasonable at full price, but it's a steal at happy hour!

While I'm personally not the biggest fan of the garlic cream cheese bun (it tastes good, just a little rich), my wife likes it a lot. The chocolate chip scone/muffin top was really good and the pumpkin mochi was something you don't find very often and was not too sweet, but still flavorful. We've always just picked things up to go because we're always visiting from out of town and picking things up to eat for breakfast the next day or as a quick bite on the way to see family or friends.
