    Ube ice cream cake 4/5
    Nhue G.

    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.

    Custom 30 cake

    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.

    Half sheet graduation cake that feed a ton of my family and friends.  I love the bright colors on this cake.

    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.

    macarons

    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!

    7 Piece Layer Cake with 90's Fountain

    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!

    Pre-made cake selection

    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!!!

    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.

It seems a bit messy, or maybe they need a bigger shop. Step further into the shop and there it is, the case of cakes! The case itself is old and the window to view the cakes is not clear, seems foggy. Hard to see the cakes. But with all the hype about this bakery on social media, I had to try it The Fruit Cakes are unique with fresh fruit not glazed or jam. Big bite size strawberries, mango, kiwi, grapes, pineapple with a thin layer of sponge cake, layers of crunchy phyllo and whipped cream. The smallest cake is a 1/4 sheet which cost $45. With all the fruit on top, it made it challenging to slice nice looking dessert slices. Super yummy, I can understand why people are making reels about this place on social media. It's a winner. Friendly service, accommodating and responsive to our needs. We requested no kiwi due to one allergy to it and they make it within 10 minutes.

Have been going here since the COVID era, would always get two mooncakes for myself, and then whatever flavor mooncakes my sisters would want and mail it off to them. Every year, same routine. I've always made sure to tell the friendly clerks know that I'd be shipping the mooncakes, so "PLEASE pick the freshest ones so they survive the trip." They reassure me that all cakes are freshly baked. I'm reassured that there's a little oxygen absorbing silica packet inside each packaged mooncake. This year - not the best experience. Compare my receipts - I literally bought these mooncakes no less than FOUR days ago. I've already shipped two to my sister in another state - kept two for myself - this one in the photo has been sitting in my fridge unwrapped until today when I thought I'd enjoy some of it. Nothing but mold on the top. At first I thought it was maybe solidified fat from the oils they use for baking - nope - the white gloss you see has "fur". Definitely mold. I'm concerned now the condition of the mooncakes I sent my sister and her family. Quality control needs to be better here. This is unacceptable when a mooncake costs $11 each. These are traditional treats that symbolize a full moon and fortune - so it's pretty crappy when your supposedly "fresh mooncake" you bought FOUR days ago - and that's been sitting in the fridge since - has mold on it.
