    Cakes
    Tony J.

    This quaint bakery, has always been one of my favorite places to pick up a fresh tasting tres leches cake. Always nice to appreciate, support, local, small businesses, in Efron, bakery, has always been grateful! Yeah, very nice outside seating, I've made special requests, (during the holidays ). such as gingerbread cookies that look like me, lol One time I ordered a delicious cake, and asked them to write " I love you, Tony!" on it, the lady asked, who is Tony ? and I told her that the cake was a treat for myself!

    Challah bread
    Betty G.

    After seeing many good reviews about the challah bread here, we thought we would pick up a loaf and try it out since my husband loves good bread. I was actually disappointed because the dough wasn't as chewy as I was expecting. It tasted just like egg bread. It wasn't bad but just not what I was hoping for. Maybe it is better fresh out of the oven? I would say it's a 3.5/5 but will round it up to a 4/5 since there's no .5. I will continue with my search for a good loaf of challah bread.

    Challah

    Saw a sign for Mexican & Jewish bakery so obviously I had to go in. What a fantastic discovery! The staff were lovely and patient. The place had so many amazing treats. We ended up leaving with a super affordable loaf of challah. When I got home and tried it... Best challah I've had in years! My partner and I will be coming back!!

    Brownie

    This local bakery is awesome. The brownie was delicious and I really enjoyed that it was covered in chocolate. I also picked up a challah bread, which was excellent as well. A good place to pick up some amazing baked goods.

    Mini concha's assorted cookies.

    Had a pretty large order for my daughter's wedding. They were very helpful and friendly when ordering. Customer service is A+. Bakery items were delicious and fresh and a very large variety to choose from. They sent us home with the most delicious bread, and when I returned to pay the remainder of the bill they sent me off with cookies. I highly recommend using this bakery, you don't experience this kind of service these days.

    Tres Leches Cake.
    Archie S.

    A nice little Mexican bakery with Pan Dulces, drinks, food and Cakes for all occasions. The store is very cleanly kept and has a good selection of cookies as well. I was looking to find a Tres Leche Cake for Fathers Day and I had come to the perfect place for it. They had them in Small, Medium and Large sized cakes. I had chosen the medium sized one and they also write on the cakes. I'd definitely come and get other items for future events here if needed. The cake itself was very nice and not extremely sweet. It had the right amount of moist to it and came with a layer of strawberry jam in the middle. The medium size is decent sized so I believe that's good for about 10-12 people. Service was good here too as the lady helping was very nice and helpful.

    it was supposed to say "what's funnier then 24? -25?"  "whet"&"bunnier" not correct.

    I have no idea what happened here i've been coming here for about 3/4 years we love the taste and the experience . I turned 25 this week so I wanted a specific cake theme and flavor and all. I showed them pictures told them what to write. This whole situation when it was time to get the cake went down hill. I went to pick up the cake and they had NO CAKE. We confirmed three times on three separate occasions. Well they tried to make it up by offering a $20 discount plus delivery. Delivery was supposed to be at 5 & we did not get it till 6:30. I looked at the cake and the writing was all wrong despite being promised it would be okay. This sounds dramatic but the cake was not what I expected. I contacted the guy he fought with me saying if I did not like it he could take it back. This man was at my door for a good 30 minutes wanting the cake back. My mother talked to him explain to him how the cake situation was already bad so to please not ruin our party anymore & he ended up leaving.

    We have made pit stops at this OG branch of Cream Pan in Tustin over the years. The location of…read morethis well-known Japanese/French bakery was unusual in that it's isolated in a corner of the El Camino Plaza. I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.
