    Custom retirement cake
    Christina M.

    I ordered a chocolate cake, my dad's absolute favorite, for his retirement with a simple idea to make it tailored to the occasion. I was seriously wow'd when I saw the finished product. The final touches Navi added to the cake blew my expectations out of the water and made my dad's retirement celebration that much more special! The cake was just perfect in every way -- tasted delicious and was designed beautifully. Thank you, Navi!

    Hands down, the best cake! I ordered a chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. I wanted something simple, but somehow to have not one particular princess themed, but ALL of them. The cake looked amazing and was absolutely delicious! For sure I will order again from Navi!

    Meant to yelp about these amazing cookies for my son's tee ball team months ago. It was our turn to provide snacks and I wanted to outdo the others so I ordered Angels baseballs and baseball glove cookies and they were exactly what I wanted. I just sent her a picture and she was able to create what I wanted. They were soft moist and delicious. All the other baseball moms were jealous of our snacks. I'm definitely be ordering from her again.

    Navi created a beautiful and delicious two tiered naked cake and matching chocolate covered strawberries for my baby shower. The cake was so beautiful and classic, decorated with fresh flowers. We ordered coconut for the top layer and vanilla for the bottom layer. Both the cake the strawberries were such a hit with the guests. Navi is also great to work with, she is so responsive and accommodating. Can't wait to work with her again the the future!

    Navi is absolutely AMAZING!! My best friend and I have both been obsessed with Navi's divinely delicious treats for many years now. Her strawberry cake is hands down my favorite and has always been a huge hit with anyone whose ever tried it. Anytime, we have any special occasion we always ask Navi to make something out of this world for us. Navi never disappoints! Navi made both my 30th bday with a massive 6 layer rainbow cake & my best friends 30th - Game of Thrones themed cake that were both absolutely fabulous! If I could give 10 stars I would!

    My dad's cake- thanks, Navi!

    With my father's 90th birthday party approaching, I found Cakes by Navi by googling "Cusom Cakes in Costa Mesa area", and liked the reviews & pictures on Yelp. When she & I spoke, Navi was very helpful. I texted her a "drawing" of what I wanted, and she was able to design the exact cake I wanted, despite the horrid artwork I sent her. For the three tiers, we had cookies 'n cream w/chocolate mousse filling for the top, the middle tier was carrot cake w/cream cheese filling, and the bottom cake was marble w/raspberry mousse filling. I had the marble cake while my husband had the carrot cake- both were flavorful and moist. I didn't get the chance to try the top layer- I had asked the servers at the restaurant to carry a tray with slices of all three, offering guests a choice. By the time a server arrived at our table, he told me that the cookies 'n cream cake was requested by many of the younger party-goers. (I did ask some of them at the Sunday brunch the next day how the cake was, and they all loved it!) Delivery was on-time (a BIG worry of mine), & Navi texted me when delivery was completed. All-in-all, I was thrilled with the entire process of ordering a cake from her, & all the comments given by family and friends were positively glowing. Thanks, Navi, for giving my dad a sweet 90th party!

    For the walnut chocolate chip cookie. I luv u. Beat the sea…read moresalt one by a mile. AMAZING when warm. Just pure bliss. Fast service.

    I stopped by this spot after getting lunch right next door…read more I had no idea what type of place this was, but I did notice quite a few folks going in. I found the inside decor a bit unexpected, the green walls, the dark vibe with gold accents. It reminded me of a chic lounge or den. I was happy to see they sold drinks and baked goodies. I wasn't in the mood for coffee or a drink, but decided to check out the sweet treats. I was so excited they had Portuguese egg tarts. I am very familiar with the Asian egg tarts, but I haven't had the Portuguese kind. I was eyeing up the banana pudding, but I decided to not get it. Prices seemed a bit high so we just went for 4 egg tarts. We relaxed a bit while our order was ready. They warmed them up, I decided to try one since I am not from this area. MY, oh MY, oh my!!!!!!!!?!!!!!?!!?!!! They were so good, the outside was super flakey, not greasy. The egg center was warm, not too 'eggy' and the sweetness level was just perfect. They were honestly to die for. I contemplated for a few minutes to BUY MORE even though I had only eaten one. I thought, I'm not from this area, so I might as well get more! I ended up getting 5 more, each tart leans on the expensive side for how small they are, but they are mighty delicious!!! I also decided to try the sea salt chocolate chip cookie: Classic Cookie. Traditional components with a dash of sea salt to accentuate the taste of rich imported Belgian chocolate Egg tarts: 5/5!!!!! Honestly when I put in my 2nd order, I couldn't help myself to tell the people behind me how dang good the egg tarts are... They told me they ended up getting some just because I mentioned it.. The salted chocolate cookie looked different to me, it is shaped like a mound. I thought this was good, full of chocolate and the sea salt was good. Would I order it again? Maybe, maybe not. 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5

It has a bright, cheerful feel without being hectic. I consistently leave happy with the quality and the overall experience, and feeling like I got my money's worth. On my most recent visit, Dennis made the experience even better. He greeted me warmly and was very attentive from start to finish. He made sure the name on my nephew Benjamin's birthday cake was spelled correctly, asked if I wanted confetti, and when I bought two candles, he even asked if I'd like them taped individually to the top of the cake box so they wouldn't get misplaced. Those little details really stood out to me. Dennis was friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure everything was just right. Great customer service and another really good experience at this location.

Long story short, I realized the cake had actually been ordered at the Newport location instead of Costa Mesa. Dennis was helping me, and he was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind, patient, and accommodating. He went above and beyond by providing me with the same cake and even offered to call the Newport location to explain the situation. I've worked in customer service for over 25 years, and unfortunately, exceptional customer service like this can be hard to find these days. Dennis truly went above and beyond, and I was incredibly grateful for his kindness and willingness to help--especially on a busy Saturday. A huge thank you to Dennis and the entire staff for making what could have been a stressful situation so easy and pleasant. Your kindness and customer service did not go unnoticed! I will definitely continue coming here and purchasing all of my cakes from you. Thank you again, Dennis, and the entire team, for such a wonderful experience!

She was communicative and kept me up to date and sent me photos. She delivered the order with care, and gave me advice on how to keep it fresh until it's ready to be served. With a guest of over 50 people (kids and adults), the cake and cupcake was a hit with everyone. My friends were complimenting on the blueberry cake and asked me who I had made it. A lot of my friends and family loved how detailed the cake was (with the Bumble Num theme) and also asked who made it. Overall, great experience.

    My family and I have been patrons of Cream Pan in Tustin for nearly two decades now, even before…read morethe TikTok strawberry croissant craze and even before it opened more locations like in Fountain Valley and Lomita. The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.

    Cream Pan never fails to deliver! Not only when it comes to fresh, delicious bakery items but also…read morefor savory meals at reasonable prices. The portions across the board are generous, high-quality, and worth every penny.  As you can see from my previous review, their chicken katsu is one of my faves. It is crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside. It's a generous portion with plenty of Japanese curry sauce, and I love the pickled red ginger. There is a kiosk available from 9:30 to 5 pm, where you can now order and pay for their katsu items. I believe the Chicken Katsu Curry was around $17.99. You need to show the receipt when they call your name. I also picked up a couple of sandwiches. The Tuna Butter Roll hits the spot for a quick, comforting lunch. It is packed with creamy tuna, cucumber, and tomato slices--at just around $3.50, it's an incredible value. The Sandwich Box assortment (egg, ham, turkey, tuna) gives you a little bit of everything, making it perfect for a satisfying light lunch on the go. If you're looking for hearty portions at reasonable prices, Cream Pan continues to hit the mark every single time.
