I had such a strange experience at this location. I attempted to call in an order for their alcohol infused cupcakes 1 week in advance and the girl on the other line informed me I wasn't allowed to pick out the flavors and stated "it's just whatever two flavors we have that day" which doesn't make sense and just seemed like a bad business model to me. Why offer so many flavors if you don't get a choice? I called again the next day and thankfully got a different worker who shared my confusion with me about the first worker. They wrote down my order (I got 4 different flavors) and I was set to pick up. The day I picked up my cupcakes, I noticed they looked different from the online pictures (but whatever, they still looked cute). I also noticed they gave me a wrong flavor (I ordered chocolate whiskey and they gave me caramel something instead). I made the mistake known to the cashier but she looked so confused and said "yeah.. thats the chocolate whiskey" which it clearly wasn't because there was caramel slathered on top and did not match the online description and the in person display. I showed the cashier the description and referenced the in person display and the cashier still seemed confused and said "yeah... thats the chocolate whiskey. What would you like me to do?" And I had to spell it out for her and say "take these caramel ones out and replace them with the ones I ordered" and had to point and all and the cashier just said "oh okay." It was super weird and frustrating. Anyways, taste wise- the alcohol infused cupcakes don't really have a flavor of alcohol and the batter kind of tastes like the box mix. Super strange experience for mid to below mid tasting cupcakes.

Cookie Butter Banana Pudding, Chocolate Brownie Pudding

We blind ordered their banana pudding trays for our wedding. All our guests were ranting and raving about how good it was! Of course as the groom, I tried none. Came back for their 2 for $15 sale and understood why they loved it. It was delectable. It was so good I sat in silence just enjoying it! Biscoff/cookie butter banana pudding was #1 while I still enjoyed the chocolate brownie pudding! Service was nice and staff were friendly! Will be back!

I had been seeing this place all over my social media and as a banana pudding lover, I had to make the trip to try it and I was not disappointed. When we walked in, the girl explained their entire menu since it was our first time there and made suggestions about what's most popular with their customers. We wound up getting the regular banana pudding, the cookie butter banana pudding, and the cosmic brownie. SO GOOD. Considering it was a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't busy so we were in and out quick. There's also close parking and we had no issues!

Banana pudding

My family's first time trying the banana pudding from this shop! We definitely enjoyed the taste. I didn't think it was too sweet. It was just the right amount of wafers and bananas for my liking. Shop is located in downtown fullerton area. There is plenty of parking on the street or in a nearby lot

When the cookie is so good, you forget to take a photo until you're halfway. (Chocolate chip cookie with red velvet inside)

SO good. Service also kind and knowledgeable. 11/10 for YUM factor I got cookies and told myself to share them with my family. I took a bite of one and immediately didn't want to share it. I took a bite of the other and also didn't want to share it... I've decided the only solution is to get more cookies at a time here. LOL!

Little bakery in downtown Fullerton. It's kind of off the beaten path. If you didn't know it was there, you could miss it. They are known for their cupcakes. So, naturally I had to try some of those! I wanted to try the champagne flavored cupcake and the Oreo cupcake. I liked the champagne flavored cupcake more than I thought I would. I think the frosting was really what brought it to life. The Oreo was solid all around! The chocolate cake, frosting and pieces of Oreo cookie on top, were fantastic! I would recommend these cupcakes to anyone. Now the cookie was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend that. I ordered the red velvet chocolate chip cookie. It was very gimmicky. Sure, it was cool to see the red in the center. Other than that though, it was a disappointing experience. The cookie was a bit dry and not exciting like I had hoped. Service was good. She was sweet and patient while I picked out what I wanted. Ambiance was slow, it was empty inside.

Been on my cravings of banana coffee and banana pudding so when I heard about Hapa, I just had to try their banana pudding! There was no line and the cashier was super nice! The banana pudding is good enough for 2 people or 1 person that loves banana pudding! The pudding was not too sweet and really enjoyed the wafers that were mixed with the pudding.

Pumpkin cookie butter banana pudding

From an avid baker, this spot is pretty good. Not amazing, but their cupcake gets the job done $17.25 for the following 1 cookie 1 cupcake 1 banana pudding (feeds 3-4) $8 Vanilla cupcake with choco frosting 4/5 Cupcake part isn't mind blowing, but pairs well with rich choco frosting. It's moist, but not super flavorful. Also not too sweet, but you only need milk bc the choco hits you in the face lol quite satisfying if you feel the craving! The frosting is much richer (than TJ sheet cake) and slightly dense (unlike Swiss meringue) Pumpkin spice cookie butter banana pudding 3/5 $8 First time having theirs! A bit too whipped for me, I prefer a denser pudding. One container feeds 3 people at least! Flavors aren't too sweet and pumpkin spice cake is moisssttt. I've had better at home lol Snickerdoodle 3/5 Smitten kitchen recipe is better. I do like the thickness of the cookie, but in terms of flavor it's ok. Also not too sweet! Service I asked for suggestions and the girl was very thorough! I was in and out and was able to park right in front of the bakery.

It's my lucky day, was wondering around and stopped in and they had BOGO free cookies?

Ooohh so I owe this place a updated review since I was introduced to their banana pudding by a very good friend back in November 2025? We just finished dinner at Slice nearby and walked back to our cars in and walked by Hapa when my friend asked if I tried their banana pudding. I said, no, I wasn't a fan of their cupcakes when I tried it years ago. She urged me to try their banana pudding so I did and now I'm a regular. Besides their banana pudding, I think I had banana pudding from Lucille's and I did not like theirs at all and just swore off banana pudding all together, but Hapa's banana pudding is SO GOOD. Literally nothing like it in the area and it's the perfect sweet treat for $8 and some change. It's available in their fridge to-go and it's a dollar off on Wednesday's I believe? I stopped in yesterday and saw the biscoff cookie banana pudding and asked the cashier if she tried it and she said it's her favorite one. It's next level for sure. I know the whole biscoff cookie cheesecake trend is happening right now and I highly recommend the biscoff cookie banana pudding. If you're debating to get ice cream for dessert or this banana pudding, I'd go with the banana pudding.

Hapa Cakes & Bakery is a popular spot known for their amazing cakes, pastries, and pudding! This spot is located in Downtown Fullerton where there are some parking lots nearby or street parking all around the area. Inside, they are a smaller shop with a couple of tables outside for seating. They have an amazing selection of different cookies, pastries, cakes, and puddings to choose from. Wifey and I opted to try the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookie and one of their Banana Puddings. Everything was decadent and delicious! Overall, we are glad we got the chance to check this spot out. We had been getting so many suggestions to try this spot, so it was nice to finally stop by. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend trying their banana pudding. There is a reason why this spot has over 1,000+ positive reviews!

Red velvet
Tom C.

Shrinkflation!!! Been coming to this bakery for years for their cupcakes. The staff is always friendly and the shop is clean. Haven't been buying for over 11 months and was surprised to see the size and the quality decline. The size of the cupcakes have decrease, and the taste is also not as rich. It's crazy there are still charging $4.50 per cupcake I finish one cupcake in three bites. Very disappointed don't think I'll be coming back until they make some changes with the quality

Cinnamon roll churro cupcakes....10/10! Unbelievably delicious!
Rick L.

Cinnamon Roll Churro Frosted Cookie...WHAT?? Killer!!! Banana pudding was good but nothing like the cookie. Polite staff as well...

UPDATE: i ate half of it and i had the biggest headache and stomachache. i don't know how much sugar they put in it but ive never felt this sick from dessert before. banana pudding: 7/10 not bad, it's pretty good but the only thing is the flavor, ingredients, texture is something i can make at home, if not better. the pudding just tastes like banana jello powder which is something i can just get myself. the container is quite filling and big for $8. service was quick and friendly. it was not crowded at all and it was quiet. overall, i wouldn't get it again because again i can just make it at home even better.

Finally made it over to Qamaria Coffee in Fullerton and really enjoyed this place!…read more First off, the cafe itself is beautiful. Really cool decor, plenty to look at, and the pastry case immediately had me wanting to order way more than I needed. I tried Turkish coffee for the first time and that stuff is STRONG. If you need a serious caffeine boost, this is definitely the move. I also tried the iced Qamaria Latte and iced Pistachio Latte. Both were good, but the pistachio was easily my favorite. Creamy, slightly sweeter, and just more my style. The surprise of the visit was the strawberry dragon fruit refresher. I almost didn't order it because I was there for coffee, but I'm glad I did. Super refreshing and I'd absolutely get it again. For food, DO NOT skip the honeycomb. They warm it up and drizzle it with honey, and each little section has cheese inside. Easily one of my favorite things I tried. The chicken pastry was another surprise and ended up being incredible. Finished with the mango cheesecake because I pretty much can't say no to anything mango. Really fun cafe experience and I'm glad I stopped in. Definitely coming back!

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!
