    If we are comparing pricing for birthday cakes from Asian bakeries, then J.J. Bakery wins for being a more affordable option. I ordered a 8" vanilla chiffon cake with strawberry filling for my boyfriend's dad's birthday. The cake cost $38, which I think is quite affordable in this economy! The cake tasted decent, and there was plenty of fruit on top and inside of the cake; however, it was on the drier side. Also, I was disappointed that the Irvine location did not participate in the Thanksgiving promotion and didn't have any Thanksgiving cakes available for preorder. If you are interested in their seasonal cakes, you are better off ordering at the Rowland Heights location, which does offer seasonal promotions.

    I've passed by this bakery over the years but either it was after hours, or wasn't having any cravings for baked items, but I finally did and got to check out this J.J.'s in town. I don't think this is part of the actual J.J. Bakery (same name, but very different vibe here), but this one has tables and seats in the back and has a more modern look and feel. There's only two staff members working here at a time - think one is the owner and other is staff. But their bakery selections are of an abundance, with your Pineapple Buns, Taro Buns, Hot Dog Buns, cakes and also drinks. I picked up one of the Melon Flaky Pastry (forget its name...) and also one of their Rice Rolls. Both were pretty good, with the pastry item being my favorite. The Rice Roll was about $5 and the Melon Pastry about $3 (before tax). Their items are fresh, but they serve it all with Irvine prices lol. Two items for almost 10 bucks. Worth the visit though if you're ever wanting some Taiwanese baked goods. Lots of parking here, as it's inside a large shopping plaza.

    Matcha moon cake
    Dominique W.

    I love a well decorated bakery. It's honestly so peaceful and aesthetically pleasing. I love that I can spend my adult money on things like this! They did have a $5 minumum cash only so when I grabbed the $4.95 moon cake the cashier told me I had to spend more than $5 to use my card! No biggie. I grabbed green tea cookies and they were very nice! Can't wait to have some with my tea. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the moon cake.

    Chicken Pie - delicious!

    Last minute pop in before my appointment at PureLux. I love Culver Plaza because there is plenty of parking spots and the aisles are nice and wide. JJ Bakery had shared outdoor seating which is nice. Convenient hours too. It smells heavenly in there. So many choices too. I had a Chicken Pie and it was fresh, warm and delicious!!! Ok, bye.

    5 Stars ALL THE WAY! I have no idea why this place only has three stars because if there were six stars available, that's what I would give this wonderful bakery! We discovered this place on our last trip from Vegas and when we were back in the area, we could not wait to get back here. Everything is so super fresh and it's not overly sweet. My husband and I always look forward to loading up on baked goods to keep in the hotel room and enjoy while we're visiting California and in the area. I really enjoyed the winter melon and read Bean pastries I had. My husband got quite a few croissant looking pastries one had tarot in it and it was absolutely delicious again not crazy sweet and the bread was so super soft & fresh. they have a beautiful case, filled with different kinds of cakes and all kinds of other delicious treats. I do not understand why this place is not 5 stars. In fact my husband wanted to come back and load up on treats to take home to Vegas!

    Panda bread & ham and egg sandwich
    Miranda C.

    I came here for a quick snack/lunch! The egg and ham sandwich was good! Bread was soft and there was good amount of mayo throughout the sandwich. I also grabbed the "panda bread" which is a chocolate cake like bread that is wrapped around white bread. The chocolate part of the bread was pretty moist but the white bread part was too dry. I did enjoy the combination of these two breads though. Service was nice and quick. The cashier was very friendly and smiley. There are a few booths towards the side of the store if you want to sit and eat. Other than that, it's your typical grab and go bakery. They had a large assortment of sweet and savory breads, sandwiches, pastries, and cakes as well.

    No more breakfast

    Came here to try their breakfast but they no longer serve it. Lots of parking in this plaza.

    This bakery is so underrated! I came in on a late night to pick up a last minute cake and they have a huge selection to choose from. I love how they have different sizes! I opted for a medium cake and it was the perfect size. They also threw in a "happy birthday" sign which was so sweet and thoughtful! We got the tiramisu cake and it was delicious.

    indoor seating
    Michelle S.

    one of the top asian bakeries in this area!!! it ticks all the boxes - good quality, lots of variety, and not too pricy - i got the cream cheese tart, coffee almond cookies, and pine nut filled pastry one highlight is their selection of bday cakes, plus the birthday candles (very convenient) the indoor seating is nice, reminds me of any other asian restaurant - the staff mainly speak mandarin which is nice & they are quick/patient

    My favorite bakery! When visiting the area I always stop by this bright and pleasant (and conveniently located) little shop ...they have a variety of moon cakes (lotus, date and walnut, red bean, green tea) difficult to find elsewhere...and if you're like me you'll end up buying way too many pastries-- there are just so many beautiful, delicious, and unique breads, cakes, cookies, and desserts (some of them I have to warn are extremely rich, such as the strawberry and cream bun--the only pastry I don't really like). They also have mango pudding (and other flavors), flan, and sandwiches. Prices are reasonable and service is always efficient and friendly.

This location is much closer to home, so I visited one afternoon when craving their cookies. The interior is modern, classy-bougie, with 4 tables and a large cushy chair. I ordered two cookies, the chocolate chip walnut and peanut butter chocolate, along with an iced horchata latte. I sat at one of the tables, opened the box my cookies were presented in, and found myself in cookie ecstasy. The cookies are fat mountains of deliciousness. Slightly crisp outside and soft inside (note: even softer if taken home and warmed up). The chocolate chip was crammed full of chips and the walnuts were in tiny bits to keep the cookie's texture soft. The chocolate cookie was also enormous and had an abundance of peanut butter chips. Both were superb. The horchata latte had just enough ice to keep it cold. It had a bold flavor of cinnamon which I loved. Staff here were friendly, efficient, and speedy. I like the vibe of this place but like their cookies even more.

Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.

    WHY DOES THIS BAKERY HAVE A 4.5+ RATING?…read more This is our first visit. Clearly the pastries are a very high level of quality and french cuisine. We had breakfast - an omelette, some bacon and lamb sausage, potatoes, and a cappuccino. we also had some pastries. All excellently prepared. We're going to try something else besides the omelette next time...it was OK but not "out of the park" so we'll try something else next week. Service - after we ordered at the counter our food was delivered to the table which are all located outside on a well-shaded patio. We always split our dishes - my wife and I can't eat an entire plate of food. It's not "table service" - they don't come back and check you or help with water or drinks, etc. Whatever you want you must return to the counter. But service at the counter is very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is an outdoor cafe....noisy neighbors, wind when it blows, dogs, all the regular stuff - good seating and umbrellas with some areas naturally shaded...lots of tables relative to the size of the shop. Very friendly staff. Why do my reviews get over 1,000 views every time we visit a new place? We don't know but it seems consistent. We feature very critical reviews - we rate high but include serious critiques. Maybe that's it.

I like getting the plain vanilla one, and it also comes with a little cereal at the bottom that gives it a good crunch. The coffee jelly milk is also great, it feels similar to a boba drink but it's a lot cheaper. Whenever I come here it's always the same lady who I'm sure is tired of seeing me lol, but she is so sweet and kind and patient when I have trouble deciding what to pick here! As for the pastries/desserts, the custard pudding cup deserves more love! I'm not sure if it's housemade here, but if you've ever been to Japan, it tastes exactly like the ones you buy from the konbini! I remember I would buy one almost every day of my trip, so I've grown cravings for it that Hamadaya satisfies in OC. The bavarian chocolate cream is a fun decadent pastry if you're into chocolate- comes with so many chocolate chips. The cheese bread is also a go-to for me if I'm in a savory mood- it's exactly what it sounds like, cheese and bread but who doesn't love those two things? Egg katsu sandwich is good if you're looking for something more substantial. The strawberry shortcake I've tried here was also good, but I did pick it up near their closing so it felt a little dried out. Definitely would recommend coming here earlier in the day for fresher and better selection of pastries!
