Ca Phe Sua Da/Vietnamese Iced Coffee
Cindy N.

This place is popular and known for their Ca Phe Sua Da or Vietnamese Iced Coffee! Since so many people order this drink, I guess they have all the coffee lined up and ready because I was surprised when they just handed me the coffee from their fridge right after I ordered. 'Iced Ca Phe Sua Da': Really strong and perfectly sweet Vietnamese Coffee! There's a lot of ice, but I like it because it's meant to allow you to slowly savor the drink so it's not too strong. I'm usually not a coffee person, but I loved this! 'Pork Pate Chaud': Tasty and goes well with the coffee! Crispy, flaky, but I wish there was more meat filling. Pretty small menu overall, but everything is decently priced. This place is small as well, more like a quick pick up and go spot!

Pork pate chaud

Hubby picked up food here a little later in the afternoon so everything was not available that we wanted to try. We got the chicken and pork pate chaud and were immediate fans! So flakey and the meat was flavored really well and very moist. We got the Viet coffee and it was nice and strong with a wonderful roasted aftertaste. The steamed pork baos were just ok, we found the bao to be a bit dense and the filling a bit too sweet.

The BEST pate chaud, we were brainstorming places for a light snack with morning drinks and our vietnamese friends eyes lit up when I was reading Gala off the list of some places I had bookmarked. They vouched for the chicken and pork pate chaud as well as the banh mi. Unfortunately they had no bread today so we were not able to try the banh mi. Good news is we were able to try 6 each chicken and pork as well as their baos. Pork pate chaud, very large triangle puffed pastry. The meat is super well seasoned and is stunning. I left some for a Japanese relative picky about food and she loved it. The chicken one is the size of the pork pate chaud at other places and I liked it more since it felt more bite sized and not so large. Same insanely good meat seasoning as the pork, this is my new favorite. Baos were good, the quail egg ones were very fresh today. I didn't like the ultra thin layer on bottom of the bao because it felt like the meat was going to fall out so I ate them upside down.

This is our go-to bakery for pate chaud every time we stay overnight in OC. We would wake up and bring back a dozen for breakfast. The pate chaud is moist, juicy, the puff pastry is consistent and not dry or broken or oily. The chicken is made in a square shape and the pork is in a triangle. I prefer the chicken over the pork. Both meats are very flavorful but the pork is oily and a bit more salty. I also prefer the chicken because it's in a square shape. You get the equal proportion of meat and puff pastry. Whereas, the triangle pork shaped is airy, my meaning of bready because the pork is in the center so you'll have to bite through each corners of just bread before you can get to the meat. If the pork was made into a square shape, then I wouldn't mind. The chicken is cheaper at $1.35 each versus pork at $2.15 each. I also tried the chocolate croissant. It's the rectangle shaped not triangle croissant shaped. The chocolate was evenly distributed throughout and not so sweet but I feel something is missing with the outer shell. Eating the pate chaud fresh out the oven is the best. Parking here is limited but people do leave rather quickly to pick up and leave. They sell beverages like Vietnamese coffee, mung bean, and mung bean with pandan as well as Vietnamese sandwiches, sweets, and other items found on the counter.

My all time favorite coffee. The best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. I drive 25 minutes every week to get some coffee and chicken pate chaud. The coffee is so flavorful with a good kick. I honestly can't get enough of this coffee, it's seriously the best I've ever had. And the chicken pate chaud is so perfect for a simple morning snack. It's on a small street and hidden in a small plaza so make sure not to miss it!

Mung bean drinks

I stopped by here for some quick snacks with my family during our trip in California. The place is small with limited menu, so we just ordered the pandan leaves mixed with green bean drinks, which is the only thing they have on the menu other than banh mi (vietnamese sandwich). The drink was a tad bit too sweet for me and very concentrated. I had to water it down with ice to make it taste better.

Iced Coffee
Mark B.

I was with my girlfriend and was really craving some Vietnamese Iced Coffee and since we were in OC there were plenty of places we could have chosen from but she was telling me this place is pretty popular so we decided to stop by and give it a try. It is a small little shop in the plaza with plenty of parking spots. They are following some decent COVID protocols but it could be a little bit better. We decided to order an iced coffee and pork pate chaud and it was ready right away. The pastry was good and nice and fluffy. It was a little bit more on the oily side. Now the coffee was solid and something I would definitely order again. I wanted something strong so it was exactly what I was looking for. The flavor was good and they did not overdo it with the milk.

Crack in a cup.

I enjoy their coffee and chicken pate chaud. Everything is pre made so freshness will vary when you come in. Still very good overall. Are they following covid food safety protocol? Ive seen money handled before and after items have been given on several occasions. Come see for yourself.

The pate chaud ga is excellent and only cost $0.85. The ca phe sua da (Vietnamese coffee) is best coffee in the entire region!

Best cake ever!!…read more This bakery sells a cake with a layer of flaky puff pastry. It is so unique and special. There is ALOT of strawberries. Cathy bakery in Monterey Park sells a puff pastry cake, but they don't include strawberries. This one is so much better. Every time I get cake from here it is a big hit. HAPPY CAKING!!

You've got to go and try this little shop. It looks like a floral shop with the most gorgeous…read moreorchids I've ever seen. The shop is a bit overwhelming with all the stuff inside. It seems a bit messy, or maybe they need a bigger shop. Step further into the shop and there it is, the case of cakes! The case itself is old and the window to view the cakes is not clear, seems foggy. Hard to see the cakes. But with all the hype about this bakery on social media, I had to try it The Fruit Cakes are unique with fresh fruit not glazed or jam. Big bite size strawberries, mango, kiwi, grapes, pineapple with a thin layer of sponge cake, layers of crunchy phyllo and whipped cream. The smallest cake is a 1/4 sheet which cost $45. With all the fruit on top, it made it challenging to slice nice looking dessert slices. Super yummy, I can understand why people are making reels about this place on social media. It's a winner. Friendly service, accommodating and responsive to our needs. We requested no kiwi due to one allergy to it and they make it within 10 minutes.
