I arrived right when they opened in the morning. The place was incredibly clean and well-organized. All the pastries looked delicious and fresh, and I especially liked the pre-arranged trays. The service was fast and pleasant.

always fresh pastries and welcoming staff. I got their Eskimo pastry today which was an amazing mood booster.

Berries finger tarts and cream filled puff pastries... yum...

Just can't thank Marie enough for the delicious small finger food catering Van Bakery prepared and delivered for our Red Carpet film screening on Saturday! The delicious berries and cream tarts were so fresh, and the cream puffs were huge and, in a word, delicious. For appetizers, the salmon lavish and turkey lavish cut rolls were so filling and so fresh. Way better than Costco with real lavish. Finally, the cheese filled puffs were also a delight, as were the nut covered halavah dessert bites. I have tasted and enjoyed their spinach stuffed and meat stuffed flakey puff pastries and they are scrumcious! The Van Bakery really deserves giving them a try for your holiday parties or event. We did and we'll be coming back again soon!

$4.13 coffee for a half full cup . I ask the lady why wouldn't she fill it up and she said it would be double. She totally rip me off. Stay in Starbucks . Plus the latte isn't even good

Charming little bakery with delicious pastry, homemade food, and excellent service. The front is beautifully decorated and immaculate, and the bakers are busy preparing fresh baked goods in the back. This is not necessary for me, but I've noticed that there is always a staff member present who speaks Armenian. This makes some of the customers feel more comfortable.

Delicious and so affordable!

See all

I don't know how I've missed this pastry shop all of these years. I've lived in the area for about…read more8 years and the shop is about 8 minutes from my home. I happened to be at the tire shop across the street getting the tires changed on my car and needed to pick up some pastries for guests that were coming over that same day. One of those guests happens to be a baker so I really needed to find some fresh delicious pastries. I checked Yelp for nearby bakeries and La Jaconde popped up with really great reviews so I drove right across the street and picked up some baked goods. I picked up this big pastry that was stuffed with cream cheese and sour cherries (TRUST ME you want this), a box of mixed cookies and bite sized goodies, and a box of stuffed dates (don't knock it until you try it). EVERYTHING was fresh. Everything was tasty. And it got the stamp of approval from the baker friend. The cream cheese and sour cherry stuffed bakery literally disappeared in 10 minutes, and that thing was not small by any means. I returned to this same place the following week to pick up some savory baked goods for some friends, and the owner was at the shop and was so kind and so proud of his products (as he should be). Needless to say this is going to be my bakery of choice. I'd drive past 5 shops to get to this one any day.

They have a nice large parking space in the back as well. I went on a Sunday around 6:30 pm so it was pretty empty, which was nice. I think the bigger crowds are earlier in the day. They close at 7 pm so I just made it. Luckily they still had a few cupcakes left and plenty of the cakes left. I decided to get a slice of their old fashioned chocolate cake, and 4 cupcakes to go. I got a red velvet, a chocolate, a vanilla, and a mocha cupcake. Everything was delicious but I have to say that the old fashioned chocolate cake slice was my favorite. They give you a ginormous piece too which is nice when you have that craving. All the cakes were very moist and the buttercream was sweet but not crazy sweet which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience. I can't wait to come back again and run some of their other cakes and cupcakes!

Before I get into the details of the picture shown, I need to mention that accidents happen and…read moresometimes they happen on the day you really don't want it to- but it does. As long as no lives were lost, and no fights were involved all is fine. For us all is fine. There was a terrible event that happened; but, it was addressed very sincerely. I ordered a quarter sheet flagship Berries and Cream cake withe customized details on the cake. It was a birthday cake for 3 people. Shivon showed me a sample of what I would see. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, on the way to our house, the driver had a near accident. The cake was ruined. We needed the (surprise) birthday cake at the house before the birthday people came to the house so it would not be seen. The driver was supposed to be at my house before 10:00AM. He was making good time; but when 10:05 came, we started getting worried. When he did arrive he showed us the smashed cake you see in the picture. I sent the picture to Shivon and she sounded like she was going to have a heart attack! She profusely apologized and told me she was going to make this better. She went overboard!! I supposed knowing that there were 3 birthday people she made 3 separate different flavored small round cakes (not that little I might add!), a dozen cupcakes . I am not a fan of sweets; but, all of the cakes and cupcakes I tasted were excellent! And yes, per the menu very expensive- but for the quality, so worth it. I wish I had taken pictures of the cakes she sent. But, we were rushing around so much by that time, I couldn't. The driver however took pictures. So, if Shivon can get them up on this post, you will be able to see what I mean by going overboard! Shivon is more than just a salesperson she is a very sincere and empathetic person. We will definitely be back. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is that the delivery person should have contacted Shivon as soon as it was known that the cake was ruined so she could have started on a new cake, or at least prepared Shivon for a situation that she would not have had to freak out on! I felt so bad for her!

My husband was a wicked sweet tooth and after we ordered some food across the lot, he was being pulled by the siren song of the illuminated Dots Cupcakes sign from across the way. We made our way over and the lovely manager Iva was kind enough to stay late to make sure we got our cupcakes! She was so warm and gracious and helped us pick out the perfect assortment of tasty cakes, I seriously think we got one of each flavor they had left! Every single flavor we sampled was delicious, moist, and packed with flavor. And not overly sweet, which is the best compliment I can give ;) We can't wait to come back and see Iva and hopefully sample some coffee next time and whatever other new flavors they roll out (they have new flavors all the time!) Thanks so much Iva and Dots! We will be back soon.

I hate to be a negative Nancy because I love desserts and always love to give little shops their dues but unfortunately not this place. I had to run into the ups store next door so decided to stop in this cute little cupcake shop and bring home dessert. I bought 6 "Regular" sized cupcakes for $28! $28 for 6 ACTUAL little tiny cupcakes. They look like minis but are not. It seems like they were trying to make them super moist but all that moisture made the cupcake attach itself to the wrapper. Truly took away half the cupcake. (See photos) also because of this forced "moistness" it made the cupcake very dense. The icing is your typical sugary icing (not my fav) but understand most people like it. Save yourself the $28 and buy your cupcakes from Ralph's bakery. So much better tasting, bigger and cheaper unfortunately. I am giving this place two stars rather than one because of the very sweet young girl at the counter that was helpful and kind.

What transpired happened over the course of a couple of minutes, but it was done so simply and quietly as to not draw much fanfare. It seems like these small acts of generosity happen regularly, and it's simply reassuring to see the goodness in people that we may not have normally noticed.

The chocolate varieties taste similar to what my wife makes - you can taste the intensity of the natural chocolate flavor thanks to espresso. It's the secret to a deep, beautiful chocolate batter. The owners are lovely as well. The lady took the time to go over the flavors and explain the lack of heavy sugars. Such a cute spot tucked away in a strip mall behind Starbucks. I'll be back for a 6 pack of blueberry cupcakes soon!

The photos were absolutely gorgeous, and the cake made such a statement on the dessert table. The flavor? Incredible. Moist, rich, and perfectly balanced -- you could taste the quality in every bite. Guests kept coming back for seconds (and asking where we got it!). What really stood out was the peace of mind we had throughout the whole process. They truly cared about getting everything right, and it showed. If you're planning a special event and want a cake that tastes as amazing as it looks, this is the place to go...trust me!!
