Work near by and my wife has been asking me to check this place out and bring some home for her. We happened to be in the area last weekend so she was able to stop by and check it out. We got the original banana pudding and wow, i usually dont like sweets like that but i must say, it was really good. Will definitely be back for my wife. read more

FINALLY had the chance to be in the area and even though I was so full from dinner - I knew I had to grab myself a banana pudding. I've heard about Hapa for so long and was just never in the area for it. Its a cute little spot in downtown brea - its a super small spot but they have their famous banana puddings, some cookies & cupcakes. they also sold a lot of cute decor items/party items as well. I got the original banana pudding and although I was too full to eat it then, I finally tried it today (a whole day later of it sitting in my fridge) and my goodness, definitely one of the BEST banana puddings ever. read more

Stopped in with my wife and tried the lemon cream frosted cookie, the sprinkle sugar cookie, and the banana pudding. Everything was really good. The lemon cookie was soft with a fresh lemon flavor that wasn't overly sweet. The sprinkle sugar cookie was exactly what you want from a classic sugar cookie, soft, buttery, and just plain good. The banana pudding was probably my favorite. Super creamy, great banana flavor, and tasted like something homemade. The shop itself was clean, bright, and had a fun vibe. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything looked as good as it tasted. Definitely coming back. read more

The limited time carrot cake banana pudding was FIRE. So good. I would definitely come back to this place. There's a parking lot on the World Market side of the plaza and you can just walk through to the other side. Way better than street parking. read more

Fantastic bakery! The person that helped us was very helpful and sweet. We got a chocolate on chocolate cupcake, a snickerdoodle cookie, chocolate chip cookie, and vanilla cupcake. Everything was so moist and not at all dry or overly sweet. The shop is super cute and chill. I definitely want to come back to try their banana pudding. read more

I don't know if they've gotten better or my tastebuds have changed lol but I decided to give this place another chance, and have been back here a few times now. My kid also changed his mind because he also loves coming here now lol. Today I tried the salted caramel which was the best one I've tried here so far. Service was friendly once again, and the place is very clean inside. read more

I was walking down Birch Street back to my car after visiting a local business when I came upon a "Try our world famous banana pudding" sign on the sidewalk. I love anything banana so it definitely caught my eye. I decided to walk into Hapa Bakery to check it out. The shop is fairly small, is very clean, and all walls are decorated nicely. There are four two seat tables, two inside and two out front. There is a refrigerated display case that holds their banana, nutella banana, and chocolate brownie puddings, along with a few other items. Two other counters display mouthwatering cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. The staff member was very friendly, and I mentioned that the sign out front lured me in to the shop, as I'm sure it does many others. I bought a container of banana pudding to take home, and managed to resist the urge to buy some of their other delicious looking goodies. I tried it the same evening, and it was truly heavenly. It is creamy and so flavorful, and is loaded with slices of banana and wafer cookies that are so soft and just melt. It is a good sized container, I'm guessing around 16 ounces, and is reasonably priced at just under $9. I try to limit my intake of sweets, but I will definitely be back to indulge here periodically. read more

I always stop by if I'm in downtown Brea. The cupcakes are my favorite but sometimes I'm tempted by the cookies. However, I always end finding the cookies too sweet and the biscoff cookie doesn't taste like biscoff to me. Service is friendly. It's a cute little bakery. read more

Got the banana pudding because my friend absolutely adores it. I was not disappointed. It's a cute little shop, and the workers were kind. The pudding itself was so light and airy, and when you get that scoop with a piece of banana and a piece of bread. Wow. Such a nice light dessert to share with some friends... or by yourself, I'm not judging. Gotta come back to try the cookie butter or nutella version of the banana pudding! read more

I've been meaning to try Hapa ever since before this location opened and finally tried it when they were running a deal on the banana pudding. The cookie butter one is phenomenal! A bit pricey but would be worth the splurge if I'm in the area. Would also love to try their cookies and cupcakes read more

Hapa bakery is an excellent bakery. I've always been a fan of their cupcakes and filled cookies. Today, my friend and I grabbed a cupcake each. I grabbed a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting. My friend grabbed a churro cupcake. Both were very moist and flavorful. They had a nice selection and the ambience was calm and inviting. The service was great. Our cashier even offered to sign us up for their reward program, which was easy to sign up for. All you need is to provide your phone number. I do however think the cupcakes are pretty small for the price you pay, which is 4 dollars and some change. It is a nice place to visit in downtown Fullerton when you are craving sometbing sweet. read more

We stopped in on a whim and I feel like my life has changed. These are, perhaps, the most delightful cookies I have ever had.it was hard to choose but I liked the sprinkle cookie the most. They were the perfect amount of sweet with great flavor and big enough cookies to share. I can't wait to go back and get some more. read more

This is amazing BP. And I know BP ball. Great texture, great cream team addition. Wafers held up well, not too soggy, not too stiff. Great balance of banana flavor. It was a war crime to not get another one. Genuinely a top 5 BP experience. All my homies hate Magnolia Bakery. read more

I've tried the cupcakes at Hapa prior to their move to Downtown Brea and wasn't a huge fan as it was dry but decided to come back to try the banana pudding ($8.50). Though it was quite sweet, it was to be expected. Layers of custard, wafers and banana - such a tasty treat if you're a fan of banana! $1 off puddings on Wednesdays. There was also a pumpkin pudding and strawberry pudding for those who want to try a different flavor! There are some street parking spots right up front if you get lucky or several structures located close by, all free to park. read more

So I went to color me mine and next-door about a few stores down is this bakery, decided to go in and check it out. I ordered the chocolate chip stuffed with red velvet, the sugar biscotti cookie, and banana pudding with biscotti. It is a clean, neat bakery, like I always do. I like to go check out new bakeries, cause I do a lot of baking. I would ask people to check this out. read more

Just happened to walk past by this place and that banana pudding sign caught my eyes! They are really advertising the banana pudding because I saw so many signs when walking. The inside looks nicely decorated and has some artwork. We went in to grab the banana pudding to bring it back to our hotel. It was about $8 for that tub, which is pretty good!! I ate almost half the tub because it was THAT good and addicting. It had the perfect amount of bananas and wafers. Your sign to go get that banana pudding! Service was good and friendly. Would come back if we are in the area. read more

The desserts are delicious to both the eye and mouth. The Galaxy Brownie was a fun and nostalgic treat. I love a good cosmic brownie, and Hapa did this childhood snack justice. It was so fudgy and the sprinkles were colorful and crunchy. The strawberry matcha cupcake was surprisingly pleasing. The strawberry cake was fluffy and, in the best way possible, reminiscent of the Betty Crocker box mixes I used to make as a child. The cookies are also good. My favorite thing, however, is definitely the banana pudding. Service was nice. Great vibes all around. read more

I called Monday at 9am to inquire about placing a custom cake order for the upcoming Sunday (6 days away) and left a message requesting a callback. When I didn't hear back, I followed up at 4pm and was able to speak with someone. I explained my timeline and noted that their website states orders can be placed up to 5 days before the event. However, I was told it was already too late because they only take cake orders in the morning for the following week. When I mentioned that I had called earlier that morning and hadn't received a callback, the response I received felt dismissive and insincere, and no alternative solutions were offered beyond submitting an online inquiry. I did submit the inquiry as suggested but never received a follow-up. I've always enjoyed their cakes, but this experience with customer service was disappointing. I hope they can improve their communication and responsiveness, as it would make a big difference. read more

I was really excited to finally try this place, but left disappointed. I picked up a dozen cupcakes (over $50) and tried to pay with a $100 bill, but they wouldn't accept it. I had to walk all the way back out to the parking structure to grab my wallet. Honestly, a $1.25 pen to check bills would solve that issue, especially for customers spending that much. That already left a bad taste in my mouth. No pun intended. When I got home, I was even more let down--the cupcakes looked beautiful but were extremely dry and lacked flavor. I cut into three of them and they were all the same: dry and tasteless. Sadly, they were overpriced for the quality and the lack of customer service. I won't be returning. read more

The pumpkin cheesecake is the thing--I could eat a whole box of these..it's delicious. The people behind the counter were nice! The place is really nice to go to for sweet tooth craving. Nice location to walk around afterwards. We also liked the banana cream pudding was more creamy than thicker-- still good though if your looking for that consistency. read more

Nice little bakery on Birch St. There's a nice selection of cupcakes, cookies, cakes, and banana pudding at this location. My kids used to come for the macarons but we didn't see any when we came yesterday. They got cupcakes instead which were nicely decorated. I think they may have been slightly dry but okay. The banana pudding is pretty good! I noticed it said famous so I had to try it. It was a little too sweet for my taste but the flavor was nice. I need to come back a try their stuffed cookies next time. read more

The chocolate brownie was terrible. Parts of it was hard and crunchy. No wonder there was so many brownies left in the evening. Hence, minus one star. The churro cookie was delicious and tasted like a churro with the right amount of cinnamon. Tons of frosting. ... so that it sort of reminds you of a cake rather than a cookie. But I liked it this way. Velvet cake inside chocolate chip cookie was also delicious. Nice and soft. However, both my husband and I agree that the cookies at Crumbl are better than the ones at Hapa Bakery. read more

I absolutely love all the cookies and cupcakes at this bakery. Everything is so delicious. I always have to stop by if I am in downtown brea! I went later in the afternoon, and I would definitely say there are less options to choose from. Try going earlier in the day to make sure you get your favorites before they are gone. read more

Hapa's Banana Pudding is phenomenal. First tried it by itself after finishing up my matcha x banana pudding collab with TeaSpoon (across the street). I paid 8.50$ for my banana pudding which isn't too bad. Was served quickly because it wasn't too busy at the time I came into the store. It's bright inside and the other desserts here look good as well. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Tis the season for sweets and treats! Hapa Bakery delivered and met my sweet tooth expectations! They have a wide array of different desserts, from puddings, to cupcakes, and cookies, and brownies. I had their seasonal pumpkin cake stuffed chocolate chip cookie (8.2/10), their pumpkin cheesecake snickerdoodle cookie (7/10), powdered sugar brownie (8/10), and their cake stuffed sprinkle cookie (10/10). They had great service, and I'll definitely be coming back to try their other options! read more

Don't bother coming, they always run out. You'll waste your time and gas. It's 330 p.m., they close at 6 p.m. and have no cupcakes. My advice 1. Make more cupcakes on busy weekends 2. Update your instagram and say "guys were out of inventory". Lucky for my kids, we're taking them to another cupcake place a city over. read more

Was wanting to try the banana pudding for a while went asked the young lady if they had a smaller size her response was not so great a uh-huh was what I got. So ordered two cupcakes and a brownie and paid but her rushing to help the white couple behind us was not it she should have at least asked if I wanted my receipt she just walked away that was extremely rude. The glass they have on counter needs to be cleaned. read more

Love the cute cupcake designs! Their banana pudding is famous and didn't disappoint :)) First time trying a red velvet cupcake - apparently (everyone might know this but) red velvet is basically a choco cupcake with red food dye and cream cheese on top! Service was good - one lady packaging everything and managing counter. They have a deal for $1 OFF on Wednesdays for their banana pudding! A must try if you're in the area. Note: If you're also trying to get boba go straight to Teaspoon across the street - they're doing a collab where you can also get Hapa Bakery's banana pudding! read more

Hapa Bakery - The two bottom one are the best, I forgot what flavor those are - Bakeries Near Me - Brea, California

We ordered Hapa Bakery for our little guy's birthday party and it was such a delight. I ordered online and it was so easy. Here's what I got: ***A 6 inch Cinnamon roll drip cake that was a fluffy cinnamon roll cake filled with layers of cinnamon roll cream cheese frosting and finished with a white chocolate drip, mini cinnamon rolls and dulce de leche. It was gorgeous and everyone raved about the taste ***Mini cupcakes: We ordered a dozen lemon, a dozen tuxedo (chocolate cake with white icing) and a dozen carrot cake. They were cute and literally the perfect size to pop in your mouth. The mix of a cake plus mini cupcakes worked perfect for a kiddo birthday party. There is nothing like having a little guy blow out a birthday candle that is atop a single cupcake...everyone sighs because they know they aren't going to be eating a little kid's spit from their messy candle blowing antics. Here's some notes about the cake: We had a theme that involved characters from a PBS show and wild animals. While there isn't a lot of room on the Cinnamon roll cake, I was able to shove "Power discs" around the bottom of the cake and fit some toy figures from the show on top around the cinnamon rolls. Please note that they need 5 days advance notice to make this cake and while the 6 inch is billed as feeding 15-20, I got 22 slices. See below for how. A few tips for serving the cake: 1) Take it out an hour before serving. I of course forgot so it was a little harder to cut 2) Take off the Cinnamon rolls and put on a plate prior to cutting. This way you don't have witness cinnamon roll suicide as the things fall off as you cut. 3) Use a SHARP tall and long knife. FYI, I didn't use warm water to dip the knife into between cuts and I didn't feel like I had to. 4) Don't start by cutting into the center of the cake and making slices. Start your knife hovering above the full center and then move all the way to the right. Slice a clean straight line and tip that tall, long 1-2 inch straight slice onto a cutting board. Then cut in half. As you move towards the center the slices get bigger and you cut more pieces. We will definitely be back and this is my new go-to for parties. read more

Three custom cake orders, an $800 cookie order. I received a completely wrong cake last year, and the cake this year was not fully what I ordered. If you have an issue on the weekend you'll speak to the girls up front and they'll apologize, but nothing will be done to fix your cake. You'll be told multiple times that an owner will call you and they won't. They let their supervisors solve issues for them. And their cake decorators will tell management that you gave them full creative control, when you didn't. And then your cake will be wrong. Also, they'll tell you that some of the girls there lack common sense and don't do things properly... that's not what you want to hear when you're spending hundreds of dollars on cakes and cookies. Wanted to be a long term customer here, but I think it's time to move on. read more
