Shit service One person at casher also makes yogurt. She stopped making it when other customers buy bread. Waiting forever for our two drinks. Such waste of time. Whoever owns this Restaurant needs to find a better server or casher whatever. Such a joke.

Tried Duke Bakery through Too Good To Go and got 6 pastries for $10. Most of them ended up having red bean filling, which I'm personally not a huge fan of, but I can still appreciate the quality. The bread itself was soft. The fillings weren't overly sweet, which I liked since it didn't feel heavy or overwhelming. Even though the selection wasn't exactly my preference, the overall taste and value were solid. I'd come back again, especially to try more of their other options. It was my first time and I didn't know that they were supposed to swipe to confirm, not me but she was nice and still let me pick them up. Also, bring your bag to carry the breads / pastries.

staff used plyers to open the jar. Disappointed in the taste.

Came here to buy the Kokonut jelly. Cashier at first told me she didn't have any spoons. She found one for me in a drawer. Then I couldn't open the jar itself. I went back into the store to ask for help to open it and she would help other people at the register and kept saying she didn't have anything to help me open it with . I spent the next few hours trying to open this jar. It was so hard to open! Finally some staff that worked in a restaurant used plyers to pry it open! Melo melo taste a lot better. I wouldn't come back due to the rude staff and difficulty opening the kokonut jar.

I've been going to Dukes since Covid. They have a lot of different types of breads that it is overwhelming. However, don't fret because they offer so many samples that you can literally go in there and try all the breads. My favorite is the cream cheese cranberry bread. The breads are actually quite large and they are reasonably priced. You could eat them over several days. I'm not sure how they bake their breads, but the texture is very uniquely soft yet chewy. it's very different and very good. The space is small, so if a lot of people come in at one time, the shop can feel squishy. They also offer coconut pudding. Casual. Parking can be difficult during peak hours. Good service. Please come and create your own experience.

I was in the area today and I decided to try this bakery. It's located in the same plaza where I usually have my nails done so yeah, why not try something new for me. Bought a few different kind of breads. One thing I noticed was the size -- they were huge! Definitely larger than average. The bread selection was okay, enough for my enjoyment. The service was good - friendly staff.

Stopped by here on a whim to get some bread. Grabbed a random assortment to try and was pleasantly surprised at how big they were. Depending on what you get, some of the bread was soft and airy and others were more dense but none of them were dry. To me, the prices are a little higher, but the bread is also a bit bigger as well so I guess it evens out in the end.

Such a cute bakery with fresh bread and sweets at a good price! Stopped by here after having shabu shabu next door as we wanted something sweet. They had a bunch of different bread both savory and sweet. It was so hard choosing but we decided on a loaf of the cranberry walnut bread and Carrie black bread. The cranberry walnut bread had the perfect amount of cranberries and walnuts evenly spread and wasn't too sweet. The Carrie black bread was my favorite - it was a dark chocolate bread with layers of Belgian chocolate, dark chocolate chunks, and what seemed like a marscapone cream filling. It was amazing! Both breads were soft, so fresh, and the loaves were huge. Such a good value for less than $5 per loaf. Will definitely be back again the next time I want something sweet!

Angel taro and garlic parmesan
Irena T.

My favorite OC bakery when it comes to Asian pastries. Quick in and out, minimal line. Their breads are monstrous in size and fluffy. Not too sweet and run about $5-6 each. The must try items are the garlic parmesan and angel taro. Personally the Hokkaido azuki was average. Looking forward to trying more of their items.

Small Taiwanese bakery in the Sunright and Dunkin Donuts plaza on Jeffrey/Irvine Center Drive. The bread selection was okay. Some were soft and others not so much. Much prefer 85c. Customer service here needs some work, they're not very friendly.

Yummy desserts and tucked in a small spot which makes it even cuter. Try their strawberry cake!

Yam Angel Bread is so delicious   it was soft, light bread infused with the sweetness of yam.

Comes out hot, buttery and flakey with that nostalgic signature egg mixture. Cant wait to be back and try more of their baked goods!

I received an order reminder/pickup confirmation email on Oct 21st On the 22nd, I arrived at Sunmerry at 6:55pm and told the staff I had an online order under my name for 7pm pickup and showed them the email receipts. They were unable to find my order in their system or on a tab in the kitchen and ended up giving me the 8" strawberry cream cake inside their display case Unfortunately, I didn't think to inspect the cake before leaving the store and only realized upon opening the cake at home that it didn't look fresh. The strawberries had dried out and discolored and the whipped cream was also starting to split from being dried out as well I proactively reached out to Sunmerry and returned to the store the next day with the dry cake in tow and they agreed that the cake I received was not fresh and offered to replace it for me. I was also reached out to separately by Sunmerry employees (presumably corporate and unaffiliated with the Irvine location) to attempt and address the issue without needing me to physically return to the store which I appreciated, but declined their offer The replacement strawberry cream cake looks significantly better than what I originally received. However, I should note that the strawberries do still look slightly dried out. I'm willing to accept that this is a result of exposure to dry fridge air circulation rather than a systemic quality problem

What else to say about Chaupain, except it's always exceptional?…read more I'm biased - but their pastries have got to be the best in OC. This is the 3rd Chaupain location I've been to, I happened to be in the area. It's smaller than the one on La Paz in LN to be sure, but ample size enough to provide anyone with full tastes of their amazing goods. I like everything - I've tried nearly all of their pastries and cakes, this time I tried the cinnamon roll- which was insanely good, soft, and tasted of such quality. Actually - never tried their quiche, which is certainly on a bucket list for next time. I highly recommend everything they have - but just to name a new, the guava cream cheese, cinnamon cream cheese, mixed berry bateau, opera cake, vanilla scone, any of their croissants, lemon tiramisu, and the jamon sandwich is incredible - I love that the bread had a chewy texture, which is perfect for this sandwich. Adding any of the American condiments would almost be a sacrilege, but a bit of dijon is good, which they have there in packets- the flavours work so well together. I really struggle to restrain myself when coming here, which necessary for your wallet and your waistline - but whatever you decided it's all good here. The customer service was also stellar - very friendly, helpful, and personable. Thank you !

Chaupain's croissants and pastries never cease to amaze. So so flaky and crispy! My go-to and an…read moreabsolute must try for anyone who loves French bakeries. My family loves the spinach cheese and mixed berry croissant.

I like getting the plain vanilla one, and it also comes with a little cereal at the bottom that gives it a good crunch. The coffee jelly milk is also great, it feels similar to a boba drink but it's a lot cheaper. Whenever I come here it's always the same lady who I'm sure is tired of seeing me lol, but she is so sweet and kind and patient when I have trouble deciding what to pick here! As for the pastries/desserts, the custard pudding cup deserves more love! I'm not sure if it's housemade here, but if you've ever been to Japan, it tastes exactly like the ones you buy from the konbini! I remember I would buy one almost every day of my trip, so I've grown cravings for it that Hamadaya satisfies in OC. The bavarian chocolate cream is a fun decadent pastry if you're into chocolate- comes with so many chocolate chips. The cheese bread is also a go-to for me if I'm in a savory mood- it's exactly what it sounds like, cheese and bread but who doesn't love those two things? Egg katsu sandwich is good if you're looking for something more substantial. The strawberry shortcake I've tried here was also good, but I did pick it up near their closing so it felt a little dried out. Definitely would recommend coming here earlier in the day for fresher and better selection of pastries!
