Located in a plaza just a block from the 405 and John Wayne Airport, I made a special trip to this place after a friend treated me to some cookies she got at their Santa Monica location. 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. read more

This is my 3rd time at a Paderia location. Normally I hit the one in Fountain Valley. This location had cookies I didnt see in FV. Maybe I wasn't paying attention but it caught my eye. I only wanted the latte but these cookies were callin me, so of course I had to pick up that phone! First the service. 5* - The one customer in front of me was being indecisive and took way too long, but this is not the faultof the restaurant. What I loved is that the person behind the counter was super genuine and nice. She saw I was waiting patiently for the customer and went above and beyond to help me bypass the wait. I chose to be patient as I wasn't in a rush. Thank you though! The Latte 5* - Sea Salt Caramel Latte. I picked something I've had many times before and mostly just wanted the caffeine. Absolutely wonderful latte. The foam, the caramel, the coffee. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. The Cookies - Cookies-n-cream 5*. This blew me away. Its their most popular item. There were samples and before I could stop myself, I had 3 samples. Lol so gooood! Warmed my cookie up when I got home and it got even better than 5*. - Pistachio Cookie 5* This was so good. If it had a chocolate shell on the outside it would've been a Dubai Chocolate Cookie and sold for 3x the price. ( Hint hint Paderia! ) I love how both cookies were exactly the same in chewy texture and quality, and so different in flavor and experience. So good I ate both in one day. Keep it up, Madeira! Ill be back! read more

To crave our sweet tooth found this while in the area. Inside is an IG worthy interior with couches, chic chairs, and a cool display case for their goods. The menu has variety, from banana pudding to cookies to a variety of drinks. What we got: - PB chocolate cookie - this thing is massive and rich. I was hoping for a softer center and crunchier exterior, but it's kind of dense. Overall a great cookie. There's plenty of other ones to try next time! - matcha latte - nothing to write home about. The matcha wasn't overly powerful, though I appreciate that it wasn't sweetened like other places do, which can mask the flavor. - banana pudding - super fresh and perfectly ripe bananas. The pudding isn't overly sweet. - ensaymada - tasty and huge! Things come out quick here so that's a nice perk. Next door was a popular pasta spot (which we got takeout for my FIL) - so a good one two combo if in the area. read more

Good vibes, love the space and the ambiance. You can order from a kiosk or a human which is nice depending on your preference. My drink was made correctly but in the wrong size (too small) and once I mentioned it to them upon pickup, they completely remade it and gave me the smaller one also since they'd just be throwing it away, so that was a nice surprise! The customer service was great and there were lots of people casually hanging out or on laptops. I ended up getting the coconut matcha a couple days in a row. I liked how lite it was, and it was good but felt like something was missing... couldn't put my finger on it - not sure if it was the type of coconut water being used or that it wasn't sweetened with anything (it seemed) which is all to preference. It was good enough for me to go back a second day and get it again. The second day was better by the way! I love how they also serve some delicious treats daily! The prices are decent, Try them out if you're ever close to the John Wayne airport! read more

So, perhaps this is my newest obsession. It's not good that this place is so close to my workplace! I tried their chocolate chip cookie with pecan and walnut pieces. They're thick cookies (think muffin tops) with no shortage of chocolate chips and the nuts are cut so small that I didn't notice they were in there! You have to really focus on the taste to tell. They're not overly sweet or dry and you can tell the pastries are made with love. The rest of their menu and matchas are extremely tempting. They also have a coconut matcha tiramisu - all of my favorite things in one dessert! I will certainly be back to try more. read more

YYUUUUUMMM! Love love their cookies! And their coffee is great too. I've been back a few times and have tried every flavor of cookie and each one in delicious. Your favorite will ultimately decide on what your preferences are. Each cookies is super THICC, with a crisper, crunchier outside, and a gooier center. If you want to be wowed with just how fancy cookies can get, this is your place. My favorite is the triple chocolate, sea salt chocolate chip, or chocolate chip walnut, depending on my mood. I've also tried their ensaymada! As a Filipino, I enjoyed their take on a more upscale ensaymada. I did wish the bread was a little more pillowy and fluffy. I've also had a few of their coffees which are all also great. I had their seasonal dubai chocolate inspired latte which was called the Dark Chocolate Pistachio Latte. I really enjoyed it and it was basically dessert in a cup with coffee. Lastly, I also love the vibe of the place! They usually have some free samples up at the pick up window along with water. Service is usually great and quick. I've been multiple times to hang out with people and the vibes are always great. ILY PADERIA! read more

This place is beautiful and the baked goods are decadent. The mint infusion drink was so yummy and fresh. The double chocolate, sea salt, and toffee cookies were divine. It's not cheap, but I can appreciate the quality behind the product. I paid $20 for 3 cookies, so keep that in mind before you go choosing everything that look good read more

I came here on a Saturday morning for a quick matcha and a treat. It was not crowded at all. I'd say that they have a pretty standard menu and everything was fine. I got a Coconut Matcha Cloud drink, which featured good coconut juice and a nice, light matcha foam. I enjoyed it a lot. The cookie was also good. This place is fine, but I don't know if I would necessarily recommend it to people, especially if there would be a long wait. read more

I tried Paderia recently and it was SO good. I ordered the Strawberry Horchata, which was very well balanced. It's a solid 10/10 and I will definitely be back to order it again along with some pastries. They do also have Ube Horchata. The service is quality as the staff is welcoming and attentive. I only waited about 5 minutes for my drink to be made. The interior is very aesthetically pleasing and offers a few tables and a lounge style couch available. It's very well maintained, including the bathroom, which is also very nice. There are additional tables outside of the unit itself, so you can definitely find a spot there if not inside. There is also ample parking as it is located in a center. 10/10 overall. You should definitely try this place out! read more

Superb bakery that runs out of their most popular items before they close. Wish we could have tried their most popular egg tarts, but they ran out so tried the sea salt chocolate cookie instead, also mindblowingly good. The cookies are shaped like a mountain, giving the center a soft chew and the edges crispy. Super clean and aesthetic interior and friendly staff. read more

What a great coffee shop in Irvine. We were on our way to Laguna and decided to stop by here for some sweet treats. I got the banana pudding and an ube latte. They were both super delicious and I really enjoyed those treats. A handful of people were also working here, so I imagine this would be a great place to get some work done. Overall, a great coffee shop if you're ever in the area. read more

My girlfriend suggested stopping by Paderia Bakehouse on our way to lunch for some cookies. Located just up the street from John Wayne Airport on MacArthur. Big shopping area with lots of parking. Approach the counter and place your order. Pay the bill and they call you to pick up your items once they have been packaged up. Well lit space. Bright and clean. Prices are fairly steep, $6.50 per cookie, but they taste great, are very rich, and filling. We'll be back. read more

If you like bananas, matcha, and a stellar cookie you gotta come here. I've been in many times for a cookie fix but it was my first time trying their banana matcha - out of all the banana pudding matchas I've had this one stands out as the freshest and most real tasting. It tastes like they mash a real banana into the drink, not overly sweet at all, and great authentic matcha taste. The cream top is no joke either, super fluffy and also not too sweet. Definitely recommend for a refreshing, not overly indulgent treat read more

We came for Mother's Day and it was absolutely fantastic. The meat was great and the sides were plentiful. We had a great time. Everybody was very kind and we really enjoyed the service of Maira.

Paderia Bakery is such a gem! The cookies and food were absolutely delicious -- everything tasted super fresh and flavorful.

Service was excellent and the staff were nice! read more

Was craving something sweet after dinner but didn't know what -- Yelp led us here, and I'm so glad it did. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by lush green plants everywhere. The dark walls and warm lighting give it a modern studio vibe, while the greenery makes it feel cozy and welcoming. The place was full of people studying and just vibing. I ordered the cheese ensaymada (heated up, of course) -- and wow. Melt-in-your-mouth soft, with the butter, sugar, and cheese blending into one perfect layer of awesomeness. Paired it with a horchata latte that had a bold kick of coffee but still balanced sweetness -- so good. Also got the peanut butter chocolate cookie, warmed up, and that first bite was divine -- the kind of dessert that makes you forget you exist for a second. Such a beautiful little green spot in Irvine, right by John Wayne Airport. Finally found my go-to hangout before or after a flight. read more

I'm not a fan of huge, chunky cookies. I like my cookies thin and chewy. With that said, paderia cookies are meh for me. What I do like is everything else on their menu! The malasadas, egg tarts, banana pudding!! Compared to their overly sweet and chucky cookies, all the other items on the menu are "not that sweet" which is what I like! So if you're like me, try their pudding and egg tarts. read more

Very overstated. High price+ average quality + poor customer service = low value. I will go to whole food for 2/3 price and better customer service. read more

Paderia's cookies are rich, gooey, and fluffy! I've personally tried their sea salt chocolate chip and triple chocolate, and they have the perfect bite and texture to them. Today I tried Paderia's yuzu matcha refresher (seasonal drink) and it did not disappoint! The cashier described it as comparable to a lemonade, which I completely agree with. It has more of a lemon taste with a hint of matcha. I asked the workers to make it less sweet in advance, and they adjusted the drink to my liking. Additionally, I ordered the ensaymada pastry (with cheese), and as a Filipino-American I can attest they nailed it! Would order it again for sure. read more

Nice and small little coffee and bakery. Came here for their cookies and because it's very fat some parts of the inside is still a bit wet but some would say it's moist inside. I just didn't like the undercooked taste of the inside. The rest was amazing I love the flavour I got the cookies and crème and the walnut chocolate chip. I like the vibe inside and their coffee looks good so I will try that next read more

First time here and I ordered 4 egg tarts. It was very delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I haven't tried anything else besides the egg tarts. I put one of my egg tart in the toaster oven on the next day and it was still good. I do find that it is a little bit more expensive than other bakeries that sell egg tarts. read more

I've been coming to this location for years. I remember when it first opened. They are consistent. It's a clean restaurant, service is usually pretty fast depending on what time you go and what day. The food/desserts are excellent. Again consistency is key and they have that. My favorite ticket is the cheesecakes, especially when it's white chocolate raspberry and also their banana pudding. The cookies are amazing as well, but I'm not a huge chocolate person. Happy belly. Happy girl. read more

This is officially my go-to coffee spot in Orange County! If you're ever in Irvine and craving a coffee shop with a clean, minimal vibe, you need to check out Paderia. It was my first visit, and I loved how tucked away it feels -- not overly crowded, quick service, and such a chill atmosphere. Ordering was super easy, thanks to their simple, straightforward menu. No overcomplicated choices, just good options. The barista who helped us was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience smooth. I tried the Horchata Matcha Latte, and wow -- easily one of my favorite flavor combos now. Sweet, earthy, and perfectly balanced. They also have pastries and cookies that pair beautifully with your drink. The space itself is small, so seating is limited, but the design is so aesthetically pleasing that it's a great place to study, catch up with a friend, or just unwind. Huge thank you to Paderia for such a great first experience. 10/10 recommend -- I'll definitely be back! read more

TLDR: don't come in the mornings I love cookies (a bit too much), so I drop by Paderia in the mornings before work, around 9:15-9:30 and every experience has been a bad one. At this point, I just wish they weren't open this early if they're not going to be ready. First of all, all 4-5 times I've gone in the past summer, they don't have the chocolate walnut cookie in stock. They usually don't have many of the non-cookie items either, like the cheesecake or the banana puddings. The employees must not be morning people because they are never at the front. Also, the morning staff squish all the cookies into one box when it clearly doesn't fit. Maybe Paderia opens in the morning primarily to cater to drink orders? If so, I'm sorry I couldn't take a hint and keep showing up - I won't anymore :( read more

Price: 4 Cookies for $23 Overall: According to my boyfriend, these cookies are so good and he is obsessed. It wasn't too crowded and we went on a Sunday afternoon. I was surprised of how thick the cookies were. Even though the price of the cookie was a bit steep, I think that is worth sharing since the cookie was very thick. They also sell drinks here as well. The cookie is delicious warmed up with a glass of milk. Definitely a great spot to get a sweet treat. read more

Once I had a taste of Paderia's cookies, I had to come back! I have to admit when I heard about how much these cookies cost and how thick they were, it put me off. I dislike dense cookies, but they were a hit for me. Very buttery and thick, but the flavor is addicting. My favorite is the classic chocolate chip but they have other fun flavors. The inside is very modern and nice to look at. It's got that urban greenery vibe. Staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait long since they have pretty much everything baked already in stock. I want to try some of their other stuff and maybe have a seat and enjoy the ambience next time! read more

Stopped by here before picking up a friend at John Wayne airport. The chocolate walnut cookie caught both our eyes the moment we laid eyes on it through the glass display of pastries. We also ordered an egg tart, which I didn't try but she said was exactly what she was looking for. Got the matcha latte with oat milk. It was good but our fault for biting into the cookie before drinking the matcha. The cookie is sweet enough so it's not too sweet but still overpowers the taste of matcha. Cashier was nice and patient! Saw some people studying there and I could see it being a great spot to study at. The interior has a nice classy feel to it. 10/10, we'll be back again! read more

I placed an order a day in advance for pickup for dessert for my sister's birthday dinner. When I arrived to pick up my order, I was told that two of the items could not be fulfilled because they were out of stock. I was never contacted by email or phone ahead of time, which was especially frustrating given that this was for a special occasion and I could have made other arrangements. What's still confusing to me is how items could be sold out when the order was placed a day in advance; either the online inventory is inaccurate or the items were not set aside. Overall, the lack of communication and clarity made for a disappointing experience. I do want to say that I appreciated the two evening employees who helped me at pickup and genuinely tried to remedy the situation the best they could by offering cookies in place of the missing items. Unfortunately, the missing items were the birthday girl's only request, so the substitution didn't fully resolve the issue. read more

I enjoy coming here for their unique seasonal desserts! They always have fresh cookies, baked goods, and their seasonal desserts change often but have always been a hit! Their coffees and teas complement their food selection very well. Ambiance & Aesthetic: 8.5/10 quiet, laid back with more of a Lux Modern aesthetic. Service: 8/10 overall very quick and kind The banana bread pudding was a 8/10 it's sweet but not over powering. It's not a traditional pudding as it's whipped very fluffy and light with a nice banana flavoring and the vanilla wafers add a nice texture difference. The banana bread cheesecake was a 8/10 also it was very dense and delicious, the bottom is a moist banana bread with chunks of banana bread mixed throughout! I usually get a vanilla latte which is a 7.5/10 for me it's a lot better than most chains, and the coffee isn't overly bitter and the vanilla is a perfect blend, not a sugar spike. read more
