Give me one of everything please! Before entering you can smell the sweetness! Everything we tried was fresh. Service was quick and friendly.
Omg everything was so cute at this bakery! This is located in the food court area at The Source. The doughnuts looked so cute we had to try!! We got the strawberry cream one and I thought it would be light and fluffy but it was kinda dense?? Still pretty good and the cream reminded us of strawberry pocky cream. The match creme brûlée one wasnt that special to me but I think I'm generally not a big fan of doughnuts. I do think a lot of these baked items are pretty pricey but they all look cute.
The BAKERY is on the 3rd floor of The Source within their cute food court. I read up a bit and it's been family owned for over 10 years here now! Love supporting local! I've been here several times now and had varying levels of friendliness from the staff. However, they are always well stocked with tons of goodies of which I always buy many. I'm not a big fan of their cookies as they are a bit too crisp for me, but the flavor is very tasty and I'll get them in a pinch. And aside from the cookies, everything I've had from here has been stellar. In particular, they're known for their Gombo and no, they're not full of nola shellfish. These are gOmbo donuts not gUmbo donuts. :) It's a deep fried soboro bread (streusel-like upper crust popular in Korea), filled with either red bean or sweet potato. You must try these. They also now have a Yozm Donuts stand at their counter, as well, so you can try their uniqueness - Yelp has a separate listing. For a good variety of baked goods and unique donuts, check out this Korean bakery at the Source~!
I had no idea this little bakery shop was located in the Source of OC, but it's one of my new favorite spots! There's plenty of room inside, with lots of tables and chairs; long tables, short tables, or high chairs near the windows. I didn't get a chance to try any of their specialty drinks, but I enjoyed both pastries I bought. The ambience is nice for studying but also if you just wish to stop by for a chat. I passed by on a Monday night, so it was pretty slow, but the guy at the register was very quick and helpful. I'm sure they get packed once it starts to reach the weekend. Hopefully I'm back soon to try a beverage !
This hidden gem is tucked away in the food hall at The Source plaza, and I'm so glad we came across it. I was too full from dinner, but I grabbed a s'mores cookie to go. When I finally tried it at home, my only regret was not buying two! Rich with chocolate and gooey marshmallows, it was perfectly soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious.
Super delicious donuts! If you are lucky enough to get certain flavors, they are worth it! Service was fast picking out the baked goods. It is located in the Source food court and there are plenty of tables to sit. My friends and I tried the milk cream donut, strawberry milk cream, blueberry cream cheese donut, and creme brulee donut. They were all delicious and such a sweet treat!
Grabbed some treats when I was at the source for lunch. They have a lot of cute and different desserts and are located in the food court. Because I was bringing these home I purchased some that didn't need to be kept cold. The treats were good not great a little dry but I enjoyed them. I would go back and try something else.
This bakery is located in a mall and was a hit hard to find. A lot of items I wanted were gone, but at least they had the strawberry milk cream donut! We also got the chocolate gombo cream, and some cookies. The donut was really good and not too sweet. The cookies were pretty good. I'll have to come earlier next time tor try their other donut flavors!
* creamy buns * The flavored cream is spot on!! Korean banana and strawberry milk the group's favorite was the banana flavor. Not pictured is the matcha cream filled donut - I really liked it as well. Well balanced, matcha was not too sweet and the natural tea taste still came across. The line moves quickly
The cookies are clearly not fresh. They've been sitting for at least 48 hrs. We bought 3 cookies and each costing on average $5.50. All of them super hard not because they are baked hard but because they have been sitting out for a long time. It's unfortunate I used to bake for weddings. Please improve these cookies or at least let your customers know. We were about to do a positive review with a video and had to stop mid way.
pro: lots of seating, bread was yummy con: no ac, $0.25 for a cup of ice, drinks are mid, no ac
I love it! It's quant and a great place to just to chill. Servers were nice and the desserts yummy. So many selections... it's almost overwhelming cause you want to choose them all. There's plenty of tables to accommodate many. It's clean and spacious. Got my hot chocolate and my cheesecake was perfect.
It's alright. We struggled to find the place, I tried calling but no one answered. It's in the Grub court on the 3rd floor. The Nutella donut is their best flavor in my opinion; fluffy donut with creamy chocolate filling. The strawberry and blueberry cream cheese donuts were also pretty good. The creme brûlée donut was not worth it. I am a custard fan and the filling was gelatinous and pretty flavorless.

Tried their milk cream donut and strawberry milk cream donut. The cream is light, sweet, and creamy. It's sweet but very tasty. The donut part is just okay. It's a little dry and lacks flavor, but the cream does help. They have a lot of packaged cookies and other treats. Everything looks tasty. Located on the top floor of the food court. No line when we stopped by on a late Saturday afternoon and plenty of seating options inside and outside. Also plenty of parking on the upper levels of the garage if the lower levels seem full. read more

Yesterday, I went with My Mom all the way to Orange County because she had a skincare appointment and Botox treatment. I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any. Other bakeries usually provide paper plates, so it was disappointing as well. read more

Food: woah the yozm donuts were surprisingly and shockingly good! I've had some of their other pastries before, which were delicious, I was especially a fan of their chocopie before it got discontinued. But the cream donuts really hit home run, they were not too sweet but with distinct flavors, cream was not too light or heavy, just perfect, bread was soft and melted in my mouth. I got strawberry cream and cappuccino, I can't even choose which one I liked better, you really gotta try these in every kind! Definitely coming back here with my bf hehe Price: about $5 per donut, which is costly, but you probably shouldn't be eating more than 1 or 2 donut by yourself anyway, and it's a specialty luxury donut with bomb taste, guess I just gotta suck it up and pay the price Ambiance: located within The Bakery in the huge 3rd floor food court of OC source mall. Lots of tables and seats all around in the mall, pick anywhere. There are a lot of people, slightly busier during weekends, but also big turnover so you won't have problem finding place to sit and eat Service: nice friendly people taking my order, the cashier saw that I was struggling to make my decision and recommended cappuccino flavor donut, I was certainly not disappointed, thank you! Parking: lots of space within the big four story parking structure associated with OC source mall, no worries here read more

The pastries and desserts here are really yummy so I thought I'd try a drink from here too. The matcha is quite literally worst thing I've ever tasted from anywhere. It straight up tastes like window cleaner chemicals and was burning my mouth!!!!! I thought I just hadn't mixed my drink properly and took another sip or two, but no. I don't know what's going on with that but I am never purchasing a drink from here again because how does a matcha latte burn my mouth? I made my friend taste it and their mouth and lips also started burning. I didn't ask for a refund because I was too scared to say my drink was burning my mouth as I didn't want to seem accusatory or anything, so I just left. 2 stars for the simple fact the food is good. read more
Absolutely unique type of donut! The banana milk one was almost like a whipped cream texture? But tastes exactly like the popular Korean banana milk drink. The sweet potato donut had an almost jam like sweet potato filling that wasn't too sweet. These are made fresh on the day and there wasn't much of a line. Located on the third floor of the Source shopping center, it's inside a food hall and can be a little hard to find. Plenty of seating for the general customers though! read more

I've never had Korean donuts until recently. I saw a reel on Instagram and I had to come, so that same week I convinced my husband to take a trip to Southern CA for the day so we can check these amazing looking treats. When we got there, the lady in the back of the counter told me they didn't open until 11am so we waited patiently and as soon as they opened I got in line. We probably splurged a little and grabbed almost every flavor to try. We didn't try them in one go and it actually took us a few days, but it was totally worth the trip. My favorite was definitely the strawberry cream one. That cream was like a fluffy taste of heaven. I also loved the other flavors, but that one was definitely on the top of my list. I will definitely be back to try the other flavors that I did not get to try. I wish they had something like this in Bakersfield, but for now I guess I have to drive 2hrs away to get this deliciousness. The cream is not super sweet, but it has the right amount of sweetness that makes you love it. Staff was nice, I didn't talk to them much and it's probably because their lines start getting super long as soon as they open and they don't have time to talk to anyone, but they are quick and everyone behind the counter is working diligently and lots of teamwork going on back there. They also have their regular baked goods on the floor, but their specialty cream baked goods are behind the glass counter. There's lots of tables since it's at a food court and there's also some places to sit outside. I do have to warn you to be prepared to want EVERYTHING and make sure to bring friends/family so you guys can share and try all the flavors. :-) read more
Heard about this place on social media so came to try it. Located in the Food Grub on the 3rd floor, it's not hard to spot at all. They sell drinks, donuts, and bread. Staff was quick and efficient at getting our donuts ready. We got the original, strawberry, blueberry, and matcha flavored donuts. Each had a thick cream inside matching the flavor. It tasted thick but not too heavy but slightly too sweet for me. At $4.50 each, it is a bit pricey. It's worth a try if you haven't been before. Ambiance was busy as it's in the food court. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more
Located on the 3rd floor of The Source's food court. I love all the varieties of bread presented here! I got so many but managed to only get 2 pictures. The bag is so cute too! Anyways, we tried the strawberry cream cheese, coffee bread, pizza bread, sea salt chocolate croissant, sausage bread, and the creme brulee donut. See what I mean? We ordered some but it was so good that I forgot to take a picture of them as we were eating them! I love all the breads we chose! I can't choose a favorite and there's no way for me to walk into a bakery and come out with just 1 thing :p The coffee bread was so delicious, I picked up the last one and it was covered with coffee and had a cream custard filling. The strawberry cream cheese bread had 3 little buns connected to it so it's easy to peel apart and share. The filling is delicious! The pizza bread is the most savory out of the choices we had and it was filling but I would go for seconds! The sausage bread is very standard. Bread and sausage, simple, but it works. The sea salt chocolate croissant is so good. When you take a bite of the bread that has the sea salt on it, oh man, it's game over. We're not sharing anymore. Last but not least, the creme brulee donut was good, and it was humongous. It has a custard filling inside and it was coated in sugary goodness. Seriously you can't go wrong with any of the bread or donut selection here. There's a bit of a line when I came but it moved along and it gave me a chance to browse for more bread as I waited. The cashier was very friendly and efficient when it was my time to pay for the goods. read more
Even at 8pm, there was quite a variety of donuts still available. We ordered the original milk cream donut, which was my favorite. It looked really intimidating, but it was lighter than it looks. The filling is lightly cheesy flavored and very fluffy in texture. We also ordered the creme brûlée donut which was good, but not nearly as good as the milk cream donut. The filling was custard and heavier, the outside caramelized sugar was crunchy. read more
Yozm's donuts have altered my brain chemistry! I was not prepared to stop by here and try some of the best donuts I have ever tasted in my life! This spot is located in the food court on the 3rd level of The Source OC. There is free underground parking with tons of parking spots. Once you park, you're gonna want to run, not walk, to the 3rd floor and into the food court. Their donuts tend to sell out fast so first come first serve. Wifey and I came later on during the day after we had lunch so most of the their selection was already picked through. Fortunately for us, there were a couple donuts left and we got the matcha brûlée and the kaya coconut butter. By no means am I exaggerating when I say that the kaya coconut butter donut was one of the most uniquely delectable donuts I have ever tasted! Overall, this spot is a gem within The Source. The staff here are very nice and welcoming. They have tons of different pastry options but I would say the donuts are the star of the show. I will be dreaming and feening for these donuts until I'm back next time in the area to grab some. Make sure you come early right when they open to get those donuts hot and fresh!!! read more
Not to be confused with The Bakery Cafe (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-bakery-cafe-buena-park-4), which is located across from Yoshiharu on the second floor. This is The BAKERY, which is inside the food court on the third floor. I've been here countless times, and always thought their baked goods were pretty average. Like a Paris Baguette or a Tous les Jour, but pricier. Well one day, we were eating lunch at The Source and saw one of their A-frames advertising their trendy cream-filled doughnuts. It looked good, so we decided to splurge and get a few for dessert. You'll find all your typical loaves, cakes, cream puffs, croissants, cookies, and other pastries at The BAKERY. They are mostly known for their soboro / gombo 빵, which is basically a Korean streusel-like bread. But today we were on a mission to try their Yozm ("yo-jeum") doughnuts. They have another Yelp page too (https://www.yelp.com/biz/yozm-donuts-buena-park). Selection was not good on a Sunday at 2:00 PM. Barely any doughnuts in the display case, and they were out of the flavors we wanted. The next batch was going to be ready in about thirty minutes, but we didn't really care enough to wait. Ended up choosing three from whatever they had left. Boxes are available for four or more. The Milk Cream filling is airy and pillowy! Not as dense compared to regular custard and not so sweet compared to whipped cream. Grab a few napkins because it comes with a lot of filling. The actual dough of the doughnut was nothing remarkable but I appreciated that it was not so sweet too. The powdered sugar peach doughnut had a pleasant natural-tasting jam inside. We also liked the crème brûlée with its caramelized sugar top and fluffy custard inside. We enjoyed their treats this time around! No crumbs left after! read more
Cute little bakery located inside the source. I decided to give some bread and cakes a try. I gave this a 4 star rating because I think it was quite pricey for the baked goods Bread- I got the blueberry loaf and it was $9. Super expensive considering a loaf of bread at like 85 degrees is $3 and Tous Le Jours is $6. I also tried the cheesy bread roll that was pretty good. That one was super soft and fluffy and they just brought it out. Cake- I got a strawberry cake slice and tiramisu slice. I loved the tiramisu. They strawberry cake was a little too dry and the whipped cream had an artificial taste. read more
Came back and was able to catch their cream donut on a weekend at 3pm! So lucky. They were also making fresh donuts in the back. Unlike population media I actually prefer their mochi donuts way more. It has a nice crunch and chew that reminds me of sesame balls and the fillings are more balanced to the density. I got the sweet potato combo crunch and it was amazing, sweet crunchy cookie coating with some bits of salted roasted almonds that paired with a sweet potato and chewy donut interior. It wasn't too oily or sweet. We also got a strawberry cream donut and it's definitely enough cream to share. I wouldn't really eat it holding it with my hand but cut it up- it really is like a cake if u love whip cream. The cream itself is really soft and lightly sweetened with a korean strawberry milk like taste. I also loved the donut and wish they sold that plain because it just taste like a light airy bread donut. Overall, love how their donuts aren't too oily or artificially sweet. read more
Located in the Source food court level 3. Seating is everywhere since it's a food court. Baked goods in the open area for you to choose. There's a sign that asks you not to touch them unless you plan your purchase them. We came in and my toddler wanted some bread. He chose the bag of brioche morning bread. He literally ate 2 in one go. Very fast service, we picked out bread, went to counter, bought it, and they bagged it in a cute paper bag. read more

Overall: 3.8/5 (take out) The Bakery is located near the entrance of the food court on L3 of The Source. They had a good selection of pastries and dessert as well as a mini station with coffee condiments, straws, & napkins on the side. However, the plastic forks and knives had white spots all over them which seemed like dust so I wouldn't use them if possible but if you do, make sure to wipe them thoroughly. Matcha Brulee Donut ($4.75): This is a brulee donut stuffed with matcha cream and was the better of the two we tried. We loved the matcha cream which wasn't too sweet. The donut was soft and good but the brulee sugar on top was hard and too sweet for me. My husband really liked it though and he's not a sweets person. Peach Donut ($4.50): This was a powdered donut with a peach filling. The donut was soft and tasted like a regular donut. It had the regular white sugar powder and orange peach powder. The peach filling had real peach bits in it, a very coagulated jelly texture, and a very subtle peach flavor. Overall it was okay so we wouldn't recommend or get it again. read more

The passion iced tea was pretty good. Service? Nonexistent. The lady working the counter looked like she didn't want to be there. I had to ask her to speak up a couple times when I ordered my iced tea. That pastry? I forgot the name of it that came from the display case/fridge, but it was memorable in a bad way. It should have been tossed, and I'm not sure if it exceeded the shelf life. I went ahead and tossed it. Ambiance is whatever. I sat outside to enjoy the weather after a movie in the area. There are better options in this mall. read more

Was wandering around the Source food court when these aesthetic donuts caught our eye! PARKING: There's a parking structure with a good amount of parking, though you might need to go all the way up to the upper level of the structure to find parking if you're there on the weekend. Just input the Source into Google Maps and it'll take you there. To get to the Bakery, go to the Food Grub (the food court) on the 3rd floor. WHAT I ORDERED: Since we came in the afternoon, it looked like a lot of the donuts were sold out except for the regular milk donut and the strawberry one. We ended up getting the strawberry milk donut ($4.75) this time. FOOD: It was a little bit stale and less fluffy than they looked, but I wonder if this was also because we came later in the day. The cream was a little bit too sweet for our taste - I think we expected something more around the sweetness and density of whipped cream. I don't think I'll be getting this again since it looked way better than it tasted, especially relative to the price, but it wasn't bad. SERVICE: Good! VIBES: Lots of seating in the food court. BOTTOM LINE: Wasn't mindblowing, but definitely something I'd recommend trying at least once. read more
LOCATED IN THE SOURCE! This bakery has an amazing selection of savory and sweet pastries and I would love to try them all. We bought the blueberry chiffon and tiramisu cakes and they were both great! The blueberry chiffon cake was DELICIOUS , the perfect amount of sweet, and very soft. The service is great and quick. Indoor and outdoor seating available! Can take your items to go or sit inside and have a great conversation due to its quiet atmosphere. Would recommend read more

Do they have chive (buchu) bread these days? Used to be my favorite at the Bakery
. class ? Is there any cooking class like anniversary cake...
The Bakery does offer baking classes. They post on their Instagram a monthly calendar showing which cakes they will feature for each lesson. I'm not sure if they have lessons for anniversary cakes though.…
