The Bakery Cafe - Desserts Near Me - Buena Park, California

This is a bakery located within the Source mall. The inside has a spacious seating area and what looks like abundance of different pastries to choose from. I bought two items and also wanted to try out their quiche. They apparently didn't have any available. I couldn't believe it because there were maybe 2 customers inside dining and chatting in a massive indoor dining space and it wasn't even 11am yet. Mind you that was on a Wednesday morning too. The pastries I got were also really stale. I have no idea how old they were, but it was definitely not fresh or tasty. Very dry and crappy. I wouldn't return unless I have a really really good reason why I should. read more

First time here and just got a slice of cake; strawberry red velvet. It was good but wished the strawberry inside the filling was cut into smaller bits because it made the cake fall apart. I would come back to try drinks/coffee. Looks like a good place inside to study. I'd say it's like 85 degrees but more cozier. Quick and kind service! read more

Their pastry are all overly sweet and not very interesting. There were 2 that were stale tasting.I feel like every bakery in this mall are all mediocre at best. I don't know what it is. Best to avoid all the bakeries inside the source. Maybe they just resell stuff they couldn't sell on previous day read more

Friendly service, delicious refreshments and coffee. Only size small and medium. Yummy desserts to eat with your coffee. Soft chill music. Well space room to sit, enjoy your treats, and room to study, read a book, or chat with friends. read more

Asked for a water cup and was very rudely/sternly told at checkout (after we paid for our baked goods) that they don't allow outside beverage. Like ok, rude. You couldn't have told us at the beginning? We gave you our business. The least we expect is no attitude. I had asked for a napkin only for her to rudely point to the direction of the napkins and laugh at me. She then proceeds to shit talk me with her coworker. Seriously you couldn't have waited till I left the store before you shit talk your customer? To top it off, I don't appreciate it how the workers were eating in front of the customers and on their phones. The pastries were p good 4/5. Service was 0/5. I might come by again, but if I see the same worker I'm definitely turning around. Please improve your attitude if you're gonna work customer service. She wore a grey thrasher hoodie if anyone wants to spare themselves from her bad attitude. read more

Randomly found this place as I was walking around The Source. This place is so cute. I'm the outside there's a bench with its own tiny nursery. Inside, it's connected to a clothing store so no outside food is allowed. Service is always great! First time I came, they had a Nutella latte on their speciality/seasonal menu. I also tried the blueberry cake slice which was also good. They have such cute cakes shaped as panda or a bear head. I haven't tried any of the pastries yet bc I'm usually looking at the coffee menu haha. But today I tried the honey cinnamon latte & it's so good! The perfect amount of sweetness from the honey/cinnamon and the perfect amount of bitterness from the espresso. Would definitely get again! read more

Service is the worse I've ever had. I decided to give it another try and the experience was worse. The cashier was nasty and not friendly. She threw to us the bag of pastries we bought. Not a smile, not a Hi, not a thank you! On top of that the pastries are dry and tasteless. Do not visit this place unless you want to be treated badly. read more

Matcha latte tastes like seaweed. Still drank it but yea. The cookies are aite, kind of cake-y and the flavor is not really fragrant or nice. Just okay. Oreo was not giving and strawberry was better but still meh. I don't think they're made in house though. The seating area is very spacious and chill and the cashier was very nice. read more

Could not be more grateful that I found this spot while at The Source Mall! I visited The Bakery Cafe after dinner. There was no line when I went, but quite a few customers stopped by after I ordered. If you like matcha, I highly recommend their Organic Jeju Matcha Ice Blended! This is probably the best matcha drink I've ever had. Incredible matcha taste, super high quality. My friend ordered the Choco Earl Grey Latte,which was also AMAZING! I tried it and could really taste the chocolate and Earl Grey flavors. It was a very unique and delicious combination, and I'd definitely order this again next time. Looking forward to visiting back soon to try their pastries! read more

The Bakery Cafe gets very busy on a Sunday afternoon. Ordered the seasonal red bean latte that costed $7. I will not be ordering this drink again. the drink consisted of crush red bean that was sweetened with sugar and milk. My drink was mostly unmixed as can be seen in the picture with the red bean layer on the bottom. read more

Got this cute bear cake for a birthday! The bakery Cafe is on the second floor of the source on the Beach Blvd side. The mini cake was $28 and is cream and strawberry flavored. The server also included a knife, matches, and candles with our purchase. The cake aesthetically is super cute. The cake itself was a tad drier than I thought it would be. I wasn't bothered too much about it since the strawberry and cream was sweet, light, and refreshing as a whole. Super easy purchase if you want a small cake that a family of 5 can easily finish read more

Found this place on Yelp and it's less than a mile away from me so I couldn't wait to check it out. As soon as you walk in you see a display of cute little cakes, about $23-$28, for sure I'll be coming here the next time I need a cake. I was ready to have a slice of the Strawberry Cream Cake but then I saw the Chiffon Sando in another display case. So good, the cream cheese with the cake was delicious and the strawberries were so fresh. My daughter tried the Matcha + Oreo Cheesecake, she said all three of her favorite things in one dessert, it was so good she would want that as her wedding cake someday! read more

The staff is usually friendly and they have a selection of bakery goods like cookies, scones, and bread. They also have plenty of seating and I often get work done here. The tables are usually clean and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming to hang out. The cappuccino is good flavor but most of the time my drinks are not really hot but more warm. I should probably just ask for them to make it "extra hot" but I forget. Anyway, if you're at the source and looking for a nice cappuccino and bakery break, this is your spot. read more

The Bakery Cafe - Entrance - Desserts Near Me - Buena Park, California

I had such high hopes for this place since it had a cute, welcoming interior (+1 star for this). I purchased 2 slices of cake (mocha + cookies & cream) and 3 pieces of pastries (red bean cream bun, cracked corn, and custard cream bun) since they all had interesting names. Sad to say, everything tasted super bland for what we paid... It seemed like not enough butter and sugar was added. For example, I ate only half of my red bean cream bun and had to throw it away, which I never do with baked goods. There was an overwhelming amount of whipped cream within the bun and the pastry itself tasted dry, just like the cakes. Overall, I've never had such disappointing pastries from an Asian bakery. If you do visit, I recommend that you buy no more than 1-2 pastries to try. Otherwise, you'll make the same pricey mistake like I did! read more

It's a cute and classy place with a lot of delicious pastries and baked goods selection. The service was great and the food tasted good. It's a hidden gem in the Source Mall. The vibe is good too. I will definitely come back for more. read more

This is a review for the baking classes next door. This cute little place offers baking classes and their calendar is posted up in front every month. I've taken two so far and I had a blast!

The picture is the cheese rolls I made in the last class! read more

A wonderful bakery with lots of options to choose from! They sell cakes, pastries, breads and beverages here. The staff is very polite and kind and the shop is conjoined with a clothing store. The interior design is also very nice and the outside of the bakery has succulents and plants. The bakery school is two stores down from the actual store that sells food, but it seems like a super interesting concept/class to take if you are interested! We ordered the red bean mochi which was both chewy and had a sweet red bean filling. It seems like they may have added salt to their mochis which balances out the dessert perfectly. My only complaint and the reason that I gave it 4 stars is because it is rather pricey, with us paying $12 for 5 mochis. I guess this is to be expected because it is all handmade, but it felt a little much to me. Still, I recommend this place to anyone hungry for bakery goods! read more

I really hate giving terrible reviews to these smaller shops, but their scones were straight up burnt, dry, and seriously lacked any taste of butter. How can they charge such high ridiculous prices but the quality is of bakery made at a large chain supermarket??? Only reason why I give this place 3 stars is their in store space, vibe and decor. I hear the third floor will be opening up a very popular cafe from South Korea soon. They better up that quality asap or else... read more

The Bakery Cafe is a cute studying and mingling spot located at The Source. I came here with my friend right at opening time, so there weren't too many pastries out yet - I ended up purchasing the Jeju Green Tea and salted roll. Both ended up being okay - the green tea was light in the drink, so I didn't end up tasting the flavor as much throughout. We ended up staying there a few hours to study, but the music was quite loud, so it was difficult to fully focus. I did like the set up of the seating area, however, as it is super aesthetically pleasing and cozy. It ends up getting busier as prime time comes, so be sure to get there early if you want a seat! read more

The Bakery Cafe - Chocolate Chip cookies with Walnuts - Desserts Near Me - Buena Park, California

This place is very clean, cozy and good . It was my first time coming here. I ordered a cappuccino and this Dubai chocolate, chocolate chip cookie and a hot chocolate Both bad. The Dubai chocolate was $10 and not worth it. The taste was awful and almost tasted expired and the chocolate was rock hard. I mentioned it to the worker but she just laughed about it. She really didn't take me seriously. The chocolate chip cookie had no flavor and tasted stale. Will not be coming back here again. I don't recommend this coffee shop. Super expensive and not great . read more

Our friends from out of town mentioned gombo/soboro donuts that they saw on insta so I decided to see what the hype was about. I assumed it would be the regular soboro outer layer with just normal bread on the inside but I was surprised to learn that the insides were filled with either sweet potato or red bean. I got both to try. I liked the red bean more than the sweet potato because the red bean balanced out the sweetness from the outer layer. The sweet potato filled one was definitely too sweet. I can see why people like this because it's very nostalgic of the soboro bread except with a twist. Def worth the try but I don't think I will get it again - will be sticking to the normal soboro bread! read more

The moment we stepped into The Bakery Cafe, I was overwhelmed by the incredible yeasty smells of bread and butter. Everything on both the shelves and in the glass cases looked incredibly tasty, and there were definitely some breads here I've never seen in any other bakery. Spent a long time making our selection, and even managed to snag some cheesy baguettes that were still warm and freshly brought out. The croffle, sugar mochi donut, and savory chive parmesan scones were all very delicious, and there's a some cute and convenient seating inside, although I can see it filling up quickly. Not gonna lie, I was a little surprised to see so many negative reviews, but the service that we got was just fine - the ladies at the front were perfectly helpful in making bread recommendations and bagging up/checking us out. read more

This cafe/bakery is located on the second floor of The Source. The interior of the cafe is open to the adjacent clothing store; it's one large space. The cafe has several tables and several counters. I came in for a coffee and a pastry. The pastries were in a glass case which included full sized cakes and a variety of macarons. There were some other pastries and cookies in baskets near the entrance. The young woman working here seemed subdued and/or bored. I ordered a latte and two treats: a tiramisu cup and a lemon tart. I took a seat and listened to the odd music mix playing (Good King Winceslas...in June?) as I partook of my purchases while battling the sluggish wifi. The latte was average, nothing really to say about it. Not great but not bad. The lemon tart was tiny and had a not-too-tart lemon center with meringue on top. The tart crust was too hard to break with plastic utensils provided so I ate with my fingers in order to bite through it. The tiramisu cup was a huge disappointment. Wikipedia, the website of ultimate supreme knowledge that is never wrong, says "Tiramisu is a coffee-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavored with cocoa." This thing had no sugar; it wasn't sweet at all. In fact it had no flavor at all. No coffee flavor. No cocoa flavor even though it looked like it was covered in cocoa. No ladyfingers to be found. Just flavorless custardy-textured nothingness. I guess this was an Asian spin on tiramisu for those who are adverse to sweets...or flavor. Pass on this one. read more

Really cute bakery at The Source. Their scones are a must try. I love that they have Asian flavors like earl grey, matcha, and ube. The scones are more like biscuits but still very tasty. Their cookies are large with plenty of chocolate chip chunks. The mini pound cakes are moist and dense. read more

Cafe version of the store opened on 2nd floor. The bakery part is upstairs on 3rd floor inside the food court. They have different variety of mini cakes and snacks inside the store along with coffee, tea, lemonades, and ice cream. They make everything fresh there including the cakes and cold brew coffee. Inside the store is very cute and have plenty of seats inside to talk over coffee or desserts. So far I've tried their cold brew and heart shaped cake, square pink cake, and heart shaped cookies. Cold brew was very smooth (they have small and medium size) Heart shaped cake was raspberry flavor and square cake was strawberry flavor. Both of the cakes were very moist and very light. Heart shaped cookie was kinda like shortbread cookie with strawberry jam in the middle. One side of the wall has their lovely bear character holding the baguette and next to the bear has area that display signed baseball and antique items. Outside of the store has a angel wing photo wall that you can take a picture and they also have seating area outside under the umbrella. They also serve my favorite brand ice cream called McConnells that vons carry inside the store. I would have to try that next time I go back along with their sandwich and lemonades. Owner of the cafe is very nice and they are very generous. When we were there they gave us sample for us to try with our coffee. read more
