Last minute, I needed a fruit cake (not a fruitcake in the sense of the Christmas present) last minute for a family get together. I called a few days early and the nice lady told me that there would be plenty and I didnt need to order a cake as long as I come in the morning. I showed up around noon and was happy to see a nice selection in the refrigerated case and more being made in the back. The cake itself was wonderful. It was light and flavorful. It was arranged with colorful fruit and whipped cream decorating the exterior. The cake was a hit at the event and was complimented by all. If you have never been there, the bakery is in the middle of a food court. The parking is kind of tight since there are a lot of other business in the strip mall including a Northgate market and a indoor retail market. Dont be deterred. It is worth it! read more

Haiku: Pacific Bakery Order for parties Fluffy and crispy fruit cake Inside a food court. --- Thank goodness for neighbors who share cake! I was introduced to this delightfully beautiful cake from my neighbor and I recently came to order it for my own kid's birthday. It was an absolutely hit with my kid & family members! The small size ($40) can easily feed 8-10 people. It's loaded with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and layered with a thin sponge cake, cream, and puff pastry. I love the crispy, crunchy texture and the not-so-sweet cake and creamy whipped cream. Just note this fruit cake is the most popular cake they make. This is what they're known for. You don't need to order ahead. They seem to always have the sheet fruit cake available. You just come and select your size. Bring this gorgeous cake to your next party! read more

Came here today to try a new bakery and ordered the $40 fruit cake that can feed up to 10 people. It was a bit sweeter than I would have preferred but it was still decent. A little bit of sponge cake and a bit of croissant like crispy crust, along with fruit on top which includes strawberries pineapple, peach and kiwi. Not sure if I'd come back to buy again but good to try at least once. read more

It's a super lowkey spot in the food court, so you can kind of miss it when passing by but if you know, you know. IAlways tastes fresh and they have them available every day so you don't really have to place an order. Good customer service and they're quick. Can be in and out in under 10 minutes, love that the most. Super convenient and affordable. read more

This is a small Vietnamese-owned bakery that specializes in fruit cake. Basically, it is like 2 layers of sponge cake with a baked puff pastry in between, layered with a light cream and topped with fresh fruit. Pacific Bakery is located in the Bristol Food Court on Bristol and McFadden in the Northgate parking lot. Their cakes are baked fresh daily. They sell individual slices for $5 each, or you can get a 1/4 sheet cake for $40, which is a great deal for cakes nowadays. I've been here a few times and like to visit if I'm in the area. My favorite place for fruit cakes is in Westminster. The cakes here are a little sweeter than my preference. They also have a cake book on the counter so you can order other types of cakes and customize based on what you like. Be sure to come and support them! They are very nice and hardworking, not to mention their cakes are yummy! Every time I come here, I am greeted with great customer service. If I am in the area, I will definitely drop by to get a slice of cake to snack on. Happy eating! read more

Such a hidden gem for fruit tarts. This is our go-to instead of buying a traditional birthday cake. The flaky crust is my absolute favorite part & it isn't too sweet either, which makes it perfect for Asian parties. I usually order a small and it feed a lot of people! read more

Pacific Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The signature item here is the fruit topped cake. I believe it may be Asian- inspired, even though it sits smack dab in the middle of Santa Ana. I had heard about it, went and sampled a single serving, and liked it enough to order the $70 size for my birthday. I ordered ahead and when I came to pick up, it was clear that I hadn't needed to have done so, because there were a few in the case. The lady simply chose one, plopped a plastic "Happy birthday" sign in it, and I was off on my way. Everyone loved the unique cake - I am not a huge fan of the crunchy layer, but that may just be me - and I'm so glad I opted for something different on this milestone birth year. The price is up there - a Costco cake of the same size would have been less than half, but I'm not one to put small businesses out of business, so I was happy to pay the extra. You should, too. read more

The only way I found out about this bakery was from word of mouth. I love Vietnamese fruit tart cake and I would never guess that there is a bakery inside swap meet in the heart of Santa Ana that makes a very good cake. Soft chiffon sponge, crunchy puff pastry, creamy whip cream and fresh fruit. All the basics done well. The small cake is $40 and is very reasonable. Prices for larger cakes are also very reasonable. Plenty of parking. Casual. Take out. Fast service. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Ambiance: Can't speak on this since a friend bought this cake Service: Ambiance: Can't speak on this since a friend bought this cake Food: First impressions, the piping is absolutely gorgeous. The fruits were very fresh with minimal glaze, which I believe showcases the natural sweetness of the fruits. The amount of fruit is incredibly generous. The inside has a thick layer of crispy puff pastry, which is my opinion is slightly overrated, but it made it a lot easier to slice. In fact, the cake held up really well, and we were able to get clean cuts on every piece (which contrary to a napoleon, would be a nightmare to cut neatly). This fits the Asian taste of "not too sweet". Overall, flavors were cohesive, cream was light. I do think I personally prefer filo dough instead of puff pastry for the crunch factor. But delicious cake, definitely went for a second slice! read more

I love a Vietnamese fruit tart cake! It's not too sweet. I happened to be driving by and recognized the plaza as I've had this place bookmarked for years. I wasn't sure if I needed to preorder but hoped they would have a cake for me as I wanted to bring it to a party. The lady told me to wait a few minutes and shortly after she had a cake ready for me. They accept credit cards and cash. It's located in an unassuming food court plaza. It's super delicious my family loved it! They also sell it by the slice for $5. read more

Pacific Bakery - $100 cake - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This is a small Vietnamese-owned bakery shop in the middle of a food court in the Bristol swap mall. It's a few stalls down on the right when you walk in. There's plenty of parking outside. They also always have it available - whenever I call to try and reserve a cake, they tell me just to come in whenever. The fruits always taste fresh and sweet, and the crunchy part is always the perfect amount of crunch. They even write on it upon request. I've been getting the fruit cake here for years for events or parties at work, and the fruit cake here never fails. There's always someone that asks where this cake is from. I have yet to meet someone that doesn't like this cake. Highly recommend. read more

This is the place to get this Vietnamese/Asian fruit cake. I got it the same day and the snap was there. Fruits were sweet and the icing was very light. You wouldn't feel like you're in a cake coma after having a slice. Made fresh everyday. The next day we had a slice left from a small size cake I purchased and the crunch was gone but still good. My recommendation get the cake the day off. I was a walk in and the friendly woman at the counter said I'm sure I would like their cake. She was right. I wouldn't find this bakery if not for Yelp. So thanks fellow helpers for posting. read more

The puff pastry was still crispy- VERY important for this cake. I just went to get the cake, day of! Another friend ordered the cake from a different location, and it did not have the same bite. It was soggy and also bought day of. There is a bell if no one is in the front. AND they sell slices if you just want a small bite! read more

First things first...I live in the Valley. Thats how damn good these cakes are. I first tried this delightful specimen at a family bbq, where upon first taste, my eyes immediately became 5x larger than my stomach. I then proceeded to hack off an even larger piece to take home with me, Smeagol style; making a mental footnote of needing to get my own in the very near future. The fruit is fresh and not candied glaze, whipped cream is light and used sparingly. The star of this show are the crispy crepe wafer layers. Crunchy, crispy, light, and so delicious. Reminiscent of Chinese sponge cake but 100x better, those crispy layers always seem to wilt quickly and becomes a sorry soft tissue paper texture. These cakes? Crispy through and through until even day 2. How do you do it!? Having a night away in OC meant making a list of "must haves" to bring back to the wasteland. This cake being #1 and Cream Pan taking #2. They literally sell one thing, this cake. It comes in a few sizes for various number of servings, along with individual slices. I wasted no time, grabbed a 1/4 sheet for $40, and hopped on the 405. Nothing can stop me, I'm on the way up. Some may be weary of the plaza and food court in which their location resides, but for a girl from the SGV? Seems like home. read more

Went in for their delicious Milojas cake and was surprised to see different small eatery places. They have 3 sizes. The price that feeds 12 (actually feed 20) was $40. Next was $70. Last $100. I ate across the way. Their stake combination plate and horchata was good. I recommend it read more

Hi, I was looking for a fruit cake and this delivered. Amazing no unnecessary bells and whistles. Will be back again!

Best pastry/fruit cake ever!! It's a total hidden gem. Tiny little storefront inside a food court which is not something you would expect to find there. Quick simple options and employee is ready to assist! read more

I keep coming back to Pacific Bakery for the large sheet cakes, great price and not too sweet taste. The location is inside of a food court, almost all the way in the back. Pacific Bakery appreciates cash, but does allow for credit cards to be used. It's an Asian bakery so the sugar level is low and the fruit on top provides the sweetness. There is a layer of phyllo dough inside so there is a crunch in the bite. This also makes the cake slightly frustrating to cut since there is hard but brittle layer inside. There is also a cream layer, so each bite has the creamy frosting, light and spongy cake, crunchy baked dough, and then more spongy cake. I do appreciate that they have four different size cakes. I needed one for 30 people and they recommended the 3/4 quarter size cakes. I think it would be ~10 people per quarter, though the pieces we cut were maybe 6 square inches and we still had some cake left over. read more

Pacific Bakery - Three quarters size cake (yes, they offer one that is even bigger) - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

They specialize in a sheet cake that is like a cross between a fruit tart and your favorite not-too-sweet Asian cake. For the size, freshness, texture, variety of fruit, and flavor, it is VERY reasonably priced. We purchased this cake for my kid's birthday party the last few years and it has always been a hit with everyone asking where we got the cake from. This year we fed 46 adults and around 20 toddlers with the second-to-smallest cake ($68). I did see a some people take more than one piece! I would NOT recommend getting this cake a day ahead of your event because the crispy layers in the middle will not stay be crispy anymore. Definitely pick up on the day of! read more

My fellow Yelp friend Cat N. is one of my most trusted sources when it comes to finding the best places to eat. Pacific Bakery is one of them. Thank you, Cat! Their puff pastry fruit cake is far superior compared to Long Phung Bakery that I used to go to. Their puff pastry is crisper and lasts the whole day in the fridge without losing its crisp! I also prefer the cream that they use on top. It has a slight salty taste to it, which goes so well with the rest of the cake. I only bought their $4 slice to try, and it's just the perfect size for me! I'm glad they offer single slices because I want to be able to eat it more regularly and not waste an entire 1/4 sheet cake. Pacific Bakery is not only better in taste and quality, but Their prices are cheaper than Long Phung! I highly recommend the puff pastry fruit cake from Pacific Bakery! Keep in mind that the puff pastry does lose a lot of its fresh crisp overnight, so it's best to eat it the same day you purchase it. read more

I almost want to gate keep but since I know some of you will be grateful... This is my favorite place to get a fruit tart cake. Their fruits are fresh, plentiful, and always sweet. Their crispy layer is also crisper than other fruit tart cake places and cheaper. And the cream isn't too sweet. With that being said the bakery is located in not the most glamorous spot. It is located in a cheap food hall and is a little tucked away. They specialize in only their fruit tart cakes so you know it will be good. read more

Cake was decent and it was quick and easy to walk right up and pick out the cake I wanted and leave.

Cake was on time and really good. My only complaint is that the color in the icing was off and looked purple instead of silver and the party was for a boy. It was a detail we ignored. We were overall satisfied and everyone enjoyed the cake. read more

Pacific Bakery - Famous cake w fruit and crispy center with cream. - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Hey Beautiful People! So you know how fruit tarts are pretty much a staple at any bakery and even in supermarkets? Well that doesn't matter because the best fruit tarts in all of So Cal are here: A Vietnamese bakery inside a Mexican swap mall. It doesn't get any better than that! LOL Here are my recommendations: 1.) Single Slice Fruit Tart -- No, you need to eat more than a single slice, so skip it! Be the VP of my Super Fat Ass Club! 2.) Quarter Sheet - Yes!!! This is enough to feed up to 12 people a generous slice. 3.) Half Sheet - Yes!!! This is enough to feed your kid's kindergarten class. 4.) Full Sheet - Just do it! Buy it for your mom, grandpa, neighbor, mayor, or do what I do and buy it for yourself, haha! But fair warning: due to the crispy puff pastry, this is best consumed the same day. Enjoy! read more

Fruit tart cake makes my whole dayy! Pacific Bakery is a small shop located in Bristol Food Court, a pretty small, compact, crowded food court in the middle of Santa Ana. They specializes in making fruit cakes. So you know how good it is when the whole store relies on just this one single menu item. We bought ourselves the smallest sheet that costs $35. We ended up sharing between 12 people and still had some leftovers to take home. The fruit tart had strawberry, peach, kiwi, and pineapple on top, surrounded with cream, with a layer of flaky pastry and a layer of cake at the bottom. A great, refreshing way to celebrate someone's birthday if they like lots of fruit, cause every bite is magic. The shop owner and workers here are mostly Vietnamese. They take credit card, and also have birthday cake decor for sale if you need some (pretty pricey though). read more
