They sell a variety of premade ice cream cakes here that you can just grab and go. This makes it easy to get something last minute for an event. They have different flavors you can choose from: Vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, durian, pandan, and ube. They can also write a message on the cake when you buy them. I have gotten ice cream cakes here a few times and they've been good so far. The strawberry was good. The ube was unique. It was good and tasted like a taro boba in ice cream form. It could get a bit overwhelming after a while so it's good for sharing. The frosting was okay, not bad but not the best I've had. The price was $30 for a 6 inch cake. I think $40 or $45 for an 8 inch cake. I got a 6 inch this time and it was perfect for 4-5 people.
This is my go to for Vans Bakery especially for their scrumptious Fruit tart. Bakery is really big & clean. My usual go to is the Fruit tart. Fruits are always so fresh here along w the pastry puff the tart is made of. It's so fluffy & not over powering w sweetness. The icing isn't overly sweet. Everyone's that has had this cake. Loves it instantly. Lady that does the writing for the cake is really kind. Love her penmanship for the cake greetings. Can request a note greeting on the cake. It's not far off the Harbor Blvd exit from the 22 freeway. A block away. They sell candles, macaron cookies, sometimes Eggrolls and other bakery goods. They provide complimentary plastic cake slider/server. It's like a basic Vietnamese bakery. Known for a very long time, Vans Bakery, have a lot of varieties of different cake & flavor. Lots of parking available. Come give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Trust mee
My favorite bakery growing up. All my birthday cakes came from here. They are all super friendly and all the other fun desserts they have are all super tasty. You won't be disappointed going here.
This place is not of the quality of the other family location on Brookhurst. The tart cakes (pies) here are still really good (8" -$38.00). I try to get the pate chaud often but they are usually cold and old, even when you ask if they were freshly made (she lies). Again, I drive over to Brookhurst now most of the time unfortunately. Idk if this location is just slow or the owner doesn't care.
*Note: Trucks, cones, and sanrio were put on by me and not the bakery!! - This is one of my families to-go bakery. We've been going to this place for cakes (specifically pandan, strawberry, and fruit tarts) since I was a child. My grandma loves the pandan/coconut cake they sell! - I won't lie, the place is a bit dusty and a portion of the store isn't used (mostly used for storage). - The owners were always nice to us with our orders, although sometimes it's hard to communicate with the language barrier. As beautiful as their cakes are, sometimes they are old. There was a time, a few years ago, where we bought a fruit cake for my sister's graduation and it had moldy strawberries. However, that was the only time it came like that. Some of their pastries are a little hard depending on the time you get them (whether they were made recently or not). It's kind of a hit or miss bakery. I do like them when I have to get a cake for an occasion.
I recently ordered a customize 30 cake and it came out much better than I imagined. This cake can definitely feed more than 50+ people. The bakery has a wonderful array of cakes and baked goods to choose from or if you want to customize a cake the owners will execute your dream cake. The cake was light, fluffy and not overly sweet which is what our group prefers. We also got mini fruit tarts, cream puffs and pate chaud. All delicious ! Call now to get your cakes but make sure you give them a few days ahead prior to your event.
I love this family owned bakery. Their strawberry cake is so moist and fluffy. It's not too sweet and the whip cream is light flavorful without being too over powering. We always get their cakes for birthday parties and celebrations. They do wedding cakes too! The store owner and his wife are so friendly and kind. They always greet us with a smile. I've also ordered their fruit tart cake and that too is a family favorite. They offer different Vietnamese desserts and their pricing is good and like I said the best is the taste of their cakes and desserts. If you need a good bakery or a place to try some Vietnamese desserts check them out.
I can never find good macaroons that aren't 5 or more dollars each. UNTIL i found Van's Bakery. They have such a wide variety of choices i felt overwhelmed haha. The lady was very quick to ask what I needed and quickly gave me the macaroons i asked for and even explained what some of the flavors were to the ones i didn't know. The whole bakery smelled nice and was very clean and every thing was easy to locate. Will be coming again to try a cake!
My family and I have been going to Vans bakery for as long as I can remember and for everyone birthday we have come here to get everyone's cake we have never gone to another bakery. ( We always choose mocha lol) They made my 7 piece cake for my Sweet 16, back in 2017. Tres Leches and Mocha. I love this bakery. Five stars.
My husband & I were having a Wedding Rehearsal dinner in Temecula. I really wanted the cake from Van's Bakery because all of my friends got their wedding cakes there as well. It transported from Garden Grove to Temecula so well! I was amazed how it remained fresh, despite hours of heavy traffic in 90 degree weather! The mocha cake was so yummy & more than enough to feed 30 people! Also, I loved the design! I wanted a vintage-inspired cake & it is exactly as I envisioned! Van's Bakery has become a little tradition among my group of friends & we cannot wait to come back to order more cakes for our milestone events!
Although we used to have Van's cake a lot of times before, this was my first time coming into this location, which was located closer to the corner of Harbor and Garden Grove. We went for a last-minute birthday cake and chose the flan and Vietnamese jello cake that looked very good. The cost was $35 and I thought it was a reasonable price, given the cake itself was enough for more than 8 people. Customer service was not exceptionally good, but was not too bad either. I thought they were just having a really long day at the time when we got in there haha. Parking was easy to find. We went around 5pm on a Sunday and the lot was half empty. They also have a lot of other things like ice-cream cakes, snacks, cookies, and pastries around the store if you have some times to shop around. I'll be back when we have a birthday party to try their durian cake and durian ice-cream cake!!!
This place is incredible so few places left like this on earth. A woman opened it by herself years ago gorgeous cakes in the front also makes homemade cookies, etc. a lot of the stuff. Of course I was unfamiliar with because I think it's specific to her culture. She had all these insanely gorgeous cake toppers like any event you ever had. You could get something beautiful and very unique there for it. I wish I had a Celebration for them! We got a fruit tart 12 inch. It was only $55 which is ridiculous and it fed a party of 18 kids not one drop was left! Cannot more highly recommend the woman that owns it was such a sweetheart read more

I've gone to Van's Bakery for years, but this was my first time at this location! It's so much more spacious, cleaner, and friendlier. My go-to is the Fruit Tart, a mainstay in my family for decades of celebrations. Flaky pastry crust. Not too sweet custard. Topped off with fresh fruit. Surrounded by a halo of whipped cream. It's the ultimate crowd pleaser. Definitely coming back for their durian ice cream cake! read more

Late post and seriously forgot to post it, pregnancy strikes at that time Ok, let's keep it simple! I order their famous Fruit Tart for my baby shower event on May 12, 2019. I was recommended by my friend that says her church always order from this bakery. I always live fruit tart, but honestly saying some of the bakery I know made their fruit tart quite sweet, and it's almost like a syrup taste. Well this one, oh wow it's really good, not deadly sweet, the fruit is fresh! And the cake didn't melt easily! The function hall was not that cold at that time, but the cake still maintain it shape! Everybody likes the cake and they also curious how I know the bakery! I can say I'm pretty satisfy with the cake, and I reserve it 1 day before! read more

I have been to this location for many years, especially for customs cakes. The owner really go out of their way in making your wish come true. Extra bonus is they do not over charge you for custom cake. I did once went to a bakery that they charge $10 extra for just to make a cake blue. Here, they would not charge you that. All my cake were a big hit with many compliments. Here is a cake that I recently order for mom. It is a semi custom. Made mom very happy. read more

I've always loved Van's bakery and have gotten my cakes from them for as long I remember. Since I've discovered this particular location that makes gorgeous cakes, I've been coming here since. For years, I've provided pictures from the internet and Pinterest with revisions that fit what I want. Anne has been so great in turning what I want from picture to cake! Mostly recently, she make this super gorgeous mermaid cake that blew me away. It was sooo cute, I wanted to preserve it forever. But we did have to cut and eat the cake which was nice and airy, and not too sweet. It was perfect! Thank you! I just picked up another cake from here. I didn't know during this time if I could place an order for a 2 tier cake on short notice. I called the night before and they told me to come in before 10am to place by order and deposit. I asked if I can pick up around 2pm the same day. TSeriously, they have the best tasting cake. I get people who have asked me, "Where did you get this cake? It's so delicious! They said yes. I went there and it was ready. read more

Bakery with variety fresh baked desserts. Our family's favorite is the fruit tart, flaky crust with custard topped with plenty of fresh fruits, which is a nice balance of sweetness. Tucked in a plaza by Dollar Tree. Parking always available with easy in and out. Though they always appear to have the cakes I need, it's best to call to reserve a cake. The cashier taking orders is very attentive. Even before the pandemic, they took great care with ensuring appropriate handling. read more

We've come to vans for a few of our cakes now and they always do such a good job! The decoration is exactly what we asked for, they were able to copy the picture I gave them to the exact detail! All our guests were impressed with the cake and on top of that, it tasted delicious! We got 2 flavors -- vanilla on the top and mocha on the bottom with strawberry filling. Thank you Vans for helping us make memories with our family. read more

Van's bakery was my family's go to bakery but not anymore. At least not this location. I went into the bakery just so I can ask and look at all the cake to ensure that my cake would be exactly what I wanted. I asked the lady if they have pandan jello cake and what would be in there. She literally told me yea and that it's a layer of pandan and a layer of coffee with coconut on top. I said there wouldn't be other fruits on there and she said no just coconut unless I wanted to add fruits and I specifically told her only coconut. Instead they gave my sister a fruit cake when it was time for pick up and they told my sister that they don't make pandan jello cake. I didn't pay attention to the order that she wrote but she wrote fruit. These people are so untruthful and would say yes to everything to cheat your money. I am so disappointed at this bakery. I even spoke the same language as them so it definitely wasn't a language barrier issue. They would say yes to your wants but write something completely different on the order. This place doesn't even deserve a star. read more

How far in advance would you need an order? It would be a small cake, for about 15 people. Also, do you have a size/ pricing list? Thanks!…
I think one day for that size cake. I'm not sure but I've ordered cake bigger one day ahead and got them.
