    The staff were nice and helpful. I came to get a coconut pandan cake for a birthday. The cake itself was a little dry but the coconut filling was good and coconut pieces were soft. The cream around the cake was dry and stale. The flower decoration was hard and breaking up. The cream for the border decoration was falling off as we were cutting it because it was dried up. So embarrassing! I thought it was just me but someone else mentioned the cake tasted sour! What a bummer. Not coming back here!

    I had not been back here for decades. It's still the same as I remembered, except less jerkies and plums pickles. Easy parking since they are in a big plaza with big parking lot. Service is nice and friendly. Still got my to go VNese banh gan or dark flan liked. They are or used to known for their cakes for sheet cake, which are quite good with decent price. The place has that comfy vibe for me since they're the 1st big bakery shop back in the 80s and whatever you're craving for (VNese snacks, smoothly, banh mi, etc) they got it and best of all, it's very affordable. They do have a section just for jerky (over dozen plus) in varies type and same with fruit plums. Just love going there and get these snacks.

    After having dinner, I was craving for a coconut pandan slice of cake. The ladies mistakenly thought I wanted 4 pieces and packed them in small boxes. Once I reiterated that I only want one slice. Instead of giving one of the slices they packed. One lady told me to wait and she went to the back and returned with my one slice. When I got home, I ate the cake and found that it was wet and sour. I think she switch it for an old slice of cake and rehydrated it. So sad that the one time I wanted to eat cake, the bakery team gave me a bad one on purpose. If I could I would leave no stars. Be aware that their team may do the same to you.

    Beautiful cake, everyone loved it

    Been coming here for over 30 yrs. I get all my custom Vietnamese flavor cakes from here. They always have the best pandan coconut cakes. Friendly service, great selection of cakes, macarons, and treats.

    I got a coconut pandan cake for Easter, and my future in-laws really enjoyed it! We were celebrating two birthdays along with Easter, so the pretty pastel green color theme of the cake was perfect! Van's bakery is so fresh, delicious, and always packed with people for a reason. I highly recommend the coconut pandan cake. I got a size small for $25, what a great price. The inside is like a sponge cake with coconut shavings in the center with cream, and the cream is not too sweet. It was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come back.

    Wow, very interesting to pass by and check out this Vietnamese bakery. Lots of very unique sweet and savory snacks, and cakes. Love to try the flan and jelly cakes nicely decorated.

    The store is clean and the staff are always nice. We always get our Yule log and other cakes here. They also have a good collection of candies, Vietnamese sweets and snacks. The Yule log is well decorated, moist, delicious and not too sweet. The medium size $58 was good for 14 people :)

    This bakery gives off a nostalgic feeling, like mom in the kitchen. They sell a lot of snacks and cakes. My favorite is the fruit tart. It's layered with fruits on top of custard and flaky bottom. A great place to grab and go. The ladies are like OG moms that won't kiss booty. Just tell them what you want, pay, and get out. Super easy, super fast.

    We were celebrating my mom's birthday and got a cake from here. It was so cute and pretty! I tried their crunchy curry beef jerky and xi muoi from here as well. I loved these snacks. I can't wait to get some more!

    6" Mocha cake

    I bought a 6 inch mocha cake. The cake was moist, not dry. However the cream/frosting was sour.

    Bottom of cake is literally brown

    My wife and I went here for a slice of cake and got a white fruit cake slice. What we got was a moldy, sour slice of cake that seemed like it had been gathering dust for 2+ weeks. The workee grabbed it from far behind the counter so we could not see which she chose. I guess she chose to give us this one to get rid of inventory and get some money. Disgusting.

    Moka, Almond, Log, had them all.

    Đây là review cho bánh Giang sinh sinh nhất của Van's Bakery (hỏi khách lời bánh khai trung business a). Bánh nay là bánh bóng lần là đưa và kem quốc design. $35. Highly recommended. Old fashioned bakery that I have been going to since a baby. All their cakes are good, light and sweet. Always a Vietnamese flair to their cakes and products. Durian, Pandan, Strawberry, and maybe more if you ask me. Their designs are free and plenty for regulars year to year, every year.

    Ayo!!!! Happy 2025! 1st review of this new year. I'm from LA and needed to get away from all the fires and stumbled upon this cute bakery that was next to the infamous Cococane sugarcane juice. I smelled the sent of Pandan Mochi Waffles as I was walking by so had to go inside. They were quite busy as there was a line of people picking up cakes, so they must be good. I ordered 1 waffle and walked around the bakery. I was impressed how clean and organized the bakery was with all the different types of packaged goods. The waffle was just had i remembered, Crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside and it's not too sweet which is a big compliment to any Asian Dessert. Staff was very friendly, they accept cards but minimum is $10. Huge parking lot so it's very convenient. Come check this Vietnamese bakery out for some delicious cakes, sweets and snacks.

    Fair prices for cakes. I am not sure what different cultures call the types of cakes they sell…read morehere. In Mexican culture we call them "pastel de mil hojas" which translates to a thousand sheet cake. I am a huuuuge fan of thousand sheet cake. After my husband birthday cake was a bust, we came here and were so glad we did. This is truly one of the best thousand sheet cakes we've ever had. We were taken a little back by what it looked like inside. There are lots of plants and we didn't seen any display of cakes. There was a family just standing there and we saw an older woman cutting strawberries. We were helped and were able to pay with a credit card. We ordered the 1/4 sheet cake and paid $45 which is more than fair. The cake is layered with cake, the thousand sheets, whipped topping, and a variety of fresh fruit. It is honestly so delicious and looks beautiful. They can also add a "happy birthday" for you if you'd like. The cake came in a box and with a disposable/plastic cake knife. Overall, I am super happy with my purchase and will return!

I will say that this place has a great fruit cake with a crispy delicious middle layer along with a vanilla fluffy layer. Its the delicious fruit cake that one would get at that other place inside a little strip mall in santa ana. Do I like this one better, you bet!!! Pro tip: Their storefront looks like a flower shop between the corner bakery and grocery store. Great job cake lady!

    Really great vegan banh mi, pastries, and vegan "fried chicken" here! Came with my husband while we…read morewere in Anaheim for a work conference of his, and if our hotel had been closer there's a good chance I would have come here on the other days we were in Anaheim as well! I think they also do non-vegetarian banh mi etc. as well, but things are pretty clearly marked. The ladies at the shop were really friendly and even offered me a sample of the "fried chicken" (which is oyster mushrooms in a fried chicken style batter, fried to crispy perfection), and if I weren't already getting banh mi and a box of pastries, I would have gotten that as well! All of the pastries we got, sweet or savory, were also really good, but I think the savory ones were my favorites because they're different from what I can find in my area. My non-veg husband really liked the "ham & cheese" croissant, which I think was probably his favorite. We both got the "combination" banh mi, and they were very fresh tasting! There were a lot more things I wanted to try, but we were only going to be in Anaheim for three days and I wasn't sure I would feel super safe taking a Lyft out to a random small shopping plaza in an area I don't know on my own (we went right after we checked into the hotel, so before my husband's conference started). The plaza itself is busy and seems like it's been there for a while, and is something of a contrast to the clean and relatively modern/new interior of the bakery. The bakery doesn't actually have any seating etc., so it seems the expectation is that everything is to go, but after our flight had been delayed twice, we were pretty hungry and ate the banh mi by the entrance. There doesn't seem to be a good place for them to have seating, so I can't imagine that will change anytime soon. Overall, if I ever find myself in the area again I will definitely be trying to come back!

    Haven't been back here since the whole ordeal last time and it's been well over a year. This place…read morehas gotten a lot better. That's maybe because the employee (shirt dark hair) that was rude before isn't there this time around so it was pleasantly an easy transaction. All other ladies here are nice. This time around was a better experience. Not busy, and we got everything we needed. Quick and fast. Pricing was surprisingly REASONABLE. Everything looked good in presentation imo and the food tasted great. Hoping to have a more better experience from here on out.

They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.
