Finally got to try the banana pudding at hapa bakery. The banana pudding is good but a bit too sweet for me and Im a sweet person. I can only eat a few spoons at a time, which might be a good thing, it stops me from smashing the entire container. I do want to try thr chocolate or whatever flavor they have next time.

Churro cookie snickerdoodle and banana pudding
Andy V.

Love this place. Cookies are so yummy not dry not too sweet. Banana pudding yummy. Have a lot of seating to enjoy their goodies and do people watching at Downtown Brea. Very pleasant store clerk.

Wonderful bakery in Brea! They have fantastic cupcakes, cookies and various puddings. They even have dog cupcakes! When we visited, the service was great and the bakery itself is clean and comfortable. Hapa Bakery is an easy recommendation! It is amazing!

Espresso brownie, and a frosted cookie with Biscoff

Nice staff and cute bakery. We tried their banana pudding, chocolate pudding, strawberry champagne and chocolate whiskey cupcakes. All were yummy but the cupcakes, which seemed slightly dry and crumbly. The chocolate whiskey cupcake was bitter. Everything else was very good though.

Banana pudding

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.

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.

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.

Carrot cake banana pudding

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.

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!

Front of shop

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.

Marie D.

This place is cute. They have some beautiful and tasty looking treats. They even have cute little snow globe cookies for the holidays. But I didn't try any of them. Honestly, just get the banana pudding...you're welcome.

June O.

Nice clean little place. Everything is nicely displayed which makes it hard to decide what to buy since it's all looks so good. The girl at the register quiet. But not rude.

Cookie butter banana pudding
Tiffany M.

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

Their banana pudding is the bomb. It lasts up to 3 days in the fridge. It tastes fresh. It is on the sweeter side but I don't mind that!

The bread was soft and fluffy, the cheese was good, and the pepperoni had a lot of flavor. For pastries, we all tried something different. One of us got the cookie dough chocolate croissant, another got the crème brûlée croissant, and I got the churro croissant. My churro croissant was so good and I loved the cinnamon sugar on it. The pastries were definitely one of my favorite parts. For drinks, we got a banana pudding matcha, an iced chai latte, and another iced drink. The banana pudding matcha was super unique and looked so good, and the chai was really good too. The cafe itself was also really cute and a nice place to sit, eat, and get some work done. Everything looked so pretty and there were so many things I wanted to try. I would definitely come back and try more of their pastries and drinks!

They were all really pretty though but I didn't end up ordering anything else. The matcha einspanner ($7.80) less sweet though? BEAUTIFUL. She is beauty she is grace. I'm really glad I lowered the sugar because it was perfect for me just slightly sweet matcha + full richness and sugar from original cream top. There's so many fake, weak matchas nowadays and this was just the best one I've had in a really long time. It doesn't try too hard to be showy or fancy or anything either. Just good matcha and a good cream top. Good ratio of milk, cream, everything. Super respectable shade of green and you can taste the matcha. It was mixed well and was nice and smooth. I really liked it!!

And today, it was one large, and one small. The small also had regular milk in it, which you could tell by the color and taste. I hate to be that customer and normally do not complain, but I wanted to make sure there were any misunderstandings. I'm sure the employees hate me by now, but I believe the I spoke with the manager regarding this. She unfortunately read the receipt incorrectly though because it's $5.50 without any additions, then 75 cents for cup size upgrade, and another 75 cents for coconut milk. She claimed I only paid for one, but I clearly see in my order that it's $7 per drink. This means that last time, I didn't say anything even though I should have. So, she didn't want to honor that, and I basically said I didn't want the drink because how does a store employee not know their own drink menu prices? Last minute, she had someone else remake my drink, and it's the person who usually does my order, so I felt bad for him obviously, but I think DD should make it less confusing because their receipt shows x1 instead of x2. Anyway, this makes it look very embarrassing on my part since she was very unsympathetic/not understanding at first. But, I was more upset about the regular milk part since I'm lactose intolerant and cannot stand cow's milk. I would have left less stars, but since they did remake the drink in the end, and he also I think put a little more ube in there, I feel they did redeem themselves. And I also just feel bad complaining in the first place, but I did pay for the extras, so...they should just remove the deal from DD if they can't read the order correctly.

Espresso was the most balanced. The chocolate and banana pudding's were very rich, 2 for $15. The kids don't care about service, so we'll try the Brea location.
