I've been stopping by Van's Bakery for years whenever I need a cake for a birthday, holiday gathering, or when I want to bring a dessert as a gift. One cake I end up buying pretty often is their durian birthday cake. My friend's mom really likes it, so whenever we celebrate her birthday, I usually come here to pick one up. The decorations and colors have more of a traditional old school style rather than the softer, modern cake designs you see these days, but the flavor is what keeps I coming back. The durian filling is delicious, and I like that there's coconut inside as well. Besides birthday cakes, they also carry a variety of other pastries and desserts. The prices have always seemed reasonable to me, and it's the kind of bakery that's easy for just about anyone to stop by and find something they like. The bakery is located in the ABC supermarket plaza, which can get pretty busy at times, but I've never had much trouble finding parking since the lot is fairly large. The staff have always been friendly and pleasant during my visits. Whenever I need a cake for a special occasion, this is usually one of the places that comes to mind. read more

Tomorrow I'm about to turn 21, and I need a birthday cake to celebrate that day. I walked in here today, and saw that there were flan and jello pandan cakes. The cakes are good, but I don't know what to get so I left. My parents encouraged me to get one from this location and I decided to do so. I'm hoping to get something that can remind me of childhood. read more

Post 5 years due. Our wedding reception recommended this bakery and immediately felt the prejudice NOT being Vietnamese even though my husband is. Nothing was confirmed as we only got a QUOTE, for a possible wedding cake. We paid NOTHING. I guess from their end they thought I was going to book with them. They got mad at me for not informing them a month or so before the wedding. They literally scolded me over the phone and said "Don't do that again". With me planning a wedding, I didn't have time to follow-up. Although they were able to get ahold of me, they still got mad since I didn't go through with the cake. Treat NON-Vietnamese people right and you'll get more customers. read more

My favorite cake from Vans is the pandan coconut cake. It was good, but I think the one in San Jose is better. But Luckily they have just a slice! They have many different items here and many snacks. I wanted to get more things but didn't need that much food. Good little bakery! read more

We wanted to get my mom a mocha cake for her birthday so she requested a cake from Van's Bakery. This place is nostalgic because growing up my parents would get me a coconut pandan cake from here. The cakes are always moist, fresh, and delicious. As always the mocha cake I got for my mom didn't disappoint! We like that the cake was not overly sweet. Service was fast, the workers are all very nice and helpful. Ambiance is good, pick out your cake, bakery goods, or other delicious things they sell and pay for it at the counter. Definitely recommend if you want a different type of cake. read more

Van's Bakery - Mocha cake - Bakeries Near Me - Westminster, California

Van's Bakery Walking into this bakery feels like stepping into a world full of pastries and sweets , there's so much to choose from. I usually get coffee, bánh lọt with coconut milk, and different pastries. The desserts are enjoyable and not overly sweet , the flavors are well balanced. The bakery is spacious and clean. The older ladies who work here are very friendly, warm, and welcoming. One big plus is that they don't charge for plastic bags. Even though nowadays, wherever you go, you're charged a bag fee, which honestly feels unreasonable. Each location has plenty of parking, making it very easy to park.

Van's Bakery honestly surprised me. I didn't expect much because of the ratings, but it ended up being really good. We got the durian cake and coconut jello cake and both were so good. Not too sweet at all, which I really appreciate. They also sell the cakes by the slice. They also have a bunch of snacks and sell Vietnamese coffee! Mom and pop bakery and I did not see any seating. read more

We love Van's Bakery! No frills, no AC, no nice decor, but tons of fun goodies and beautiful and tasty cakes! Don't sleep on their blended drinks either! I personally really enjoy their soursop smoothie and pennywort with mung bean on a warm day. I highly recommend their durian or pandan cakes, but not the mocha one. They mentioned their mocha is a top seller, but the two times I've gotten it, it was dry. read more

The croissants here are sooo flaky on the outside and buttery on the inside. They are best served warm so the inside gets super soft.

I called in the morning to customize my Pandan cake and it was ready by 2pm! Flavor is very subtle and light, which I love. I didn't want to regular green so I requested pink and white! So cute and very impressed with their service and attention to detail! Absolutely perfect and gorgeous, just how I envisioned it. Cake was so soft, moist and the perfect balance of light and airy. Their cakes are really popular because it's not too sweet! Vietnamese folks love it. Highly recommend to try it out. They also have jello cakes, wedding cakes, holiday cakes, fruit cakes, coffee cakes, durian cakes etc! Swing by and check them out! read more

The service is very quick, and the ladies working here are friendly. Cakes are pretty expensive now.. it was $50 for a fruit cake tart. The cake was very fresh and delicious as usual. We needed an emergency dessert, so this place is perfect and reliable for a quick stop. Parking here in this lot is absolutely insane....... But if you can find a spot far away and walk, it's worth it. They always have various sizes and flavors of cakes available. No pre-order needed. I brought it to a thanksgiving dinner. Really tasty cake with plentiful fruits! read more

AMBIENCE: (4/5) - Classic asian bakery, nothing too fancy but with plenty of heart and lots of Asian aunties working behind the counter SERVICE: (5/5) - Not as rude as some of the other authentic places I've been to - Plenty of baked goods to choose from including some essentials that you might need to pick up along the way without having to make another trip - I picked up some sticky rice that apparently went bad and the lady at the check out was nice enough to tell me about it and throw it away so that was appreciated FOOD/DRINKS: (4/5) - Pandan Cake (3/5): Not pandan at all. Wouldn't have even known that was in there if it didn't say so that was pretty disappointing. That being said it was still a great cake as it was fluffy and airy and light without being too sweet. If it didn't advertise itself as pandan it would've performed better - Pandan Jelly w/Sugar Cane & Coconut Dip (4/5): Great texture. Not too sweet either but again, not much pandan flavor OVERVIEW: (4/5) - Wasn't bad but wasn't mind blowing either. Cake was good texture but the flavors aren't that strong so if you're on the hunt for some pandan I'd probably take my bets elsewhere read more

Ayooooo!!!! Back at it again, if you are looking for an alternative to a birthday cake you need to get this Asian Fresh Fruit Tart. It had a flaky puff pastry base filled with a delicious vanilla pastry cream and fresh whipped cream with an assortment of fresh fruit. I got the 10" that was around $40. The bakery also had an assortment of different asian birthday cakes. Sorry didn't get to take photos as i was in a rush. There was a huge parking lot, cards are accepted and staff were so friendly and nice. Give them a try if you are in the area, I just walked in without a pre order. read more

Ordered a coconut cake. Good service, tastes great. Pick on time & ready to go. Quick & easy ordered. I'm & out within minutes

The fruit was fresh but not pastry its tough couldn't cut it with plastic cake cutter

Say no more!!! The fruit pastry tart @ Vans Bakery is to Die For!!! It's delicious, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it. All the older parents, grandparents and even youngsters love it. It's a fruit tart but the layers inside the tart isn't a cake. It's a crispy flakey pastry along with custard filled. Not sweet at all. The Fruits are fresh. High recommend finish the cake same day or the pastry can get a bit soggy overnight. The service is great and the lady associate is good at writing the HBD greetings on the clear strip to place on top of the fruit tart. The bakery is big and have a lot of other type of Vietnamese known cakes and desserts. It looks like any ordinary Vietnamese Vans bakery. Filled with so much Asian Vietnamese sweets, goodies and desserts. Parking is easy to find. Located in a strip of shopping businesses such as fast food to go, a few doors down from Cococane the sugarcane pressed juice bar and next to Boulangerie Bakery. Definitely recommended for any occasions to enjoy. They give you a complimentary plastic cake cutter/server. FYI read more

I used to love going to Vans. It's such a childhood nostalgia for me since my family used to always get our birthday cakes and cream puffs at vans bakery. Unfortunately over the years their quality did go down. Cream puffs extremely stale. Cakes a bit dry. read more

I feel like it would be a disservice to the businesses that impacted my childhood if I did not post reviews to support them, especially as the area gets gentrified and new businesses take over...Van's been a reliable source of angel cakes, serving airy and light cakes for my family. There's also traditional savory pate chaud and fruit tarts/cakes that served us such immense joy growing up. It's good for traditional bites and a walk down memory lane. read more

How sad the quality of their bakegoods has declined in recent year. We have always purchased our cakes at this location for many years. We were so disappointed when my mom couldn't barely finished her small portion. Why? Simply because there wasn't much of the fillings in the cake . It's time to look for another bakery! read more

I walked in here because I saw their macaroons on display. Their dessert and cakes look excellent. This place is located in. They strip mall right in the middle of Tulsa little Viet town Westminster. I was greeted upon my arrival when I asked her how the macaroons were. She said they were very fresh. Just by holding them and pinching it slightly, I could tell it was not fresh. It was a crispy shell and the cream was lackluster. Disappointing as I consider myself to be a connoisseur of macaroons. I'm sure other desserts were good, but this is for the macaroons alone and I would not go back . read more

Bánh đẹp quá! :) Để mừng sinh Nhật Mẹ em, em đặt cái bánh thạch. Lần đầu tiên em đặt bánh ở đây nên em không biết bánh sẽ ra sao. Bánh không chỉ đẹp mà còn ngon nữa! So pretty and delicious! I placed an order for a jelly/gelatin cake. It came out so beautifully! We got the assortment of flavors and it had multiple layers! The bakery workers were very kind and the service was fairly fast! They don't add the fruit and icing until later so if you come early, you might have to wait for them to put the words and decorations. Despite that, I was really happy with how it turned out! Definitely place an order here for your next celebration! You won't be disappointed! :) read more

The best. Found this little gem. All kinda of goodies. I like the little hot section with the chicken stuffed pastry things. So good.

My family's go-to spot for cakes! We typically pick the mocha or durian -- fresh ingredients and beautiful cakes with floral decor. Call ahead if you want durian only - otherwise their premade cakes are a mix of coconut and durian. The sponge cake is light and tastes more guilt-free than most other cakes, and the cream is light and not too sweet. Prices are very reasonable - for a 6" it's about $25, 8" is about $40. Go for the bigger size so you can have leftovers for the next day! Aside from cakes, there are plenty of other ready made small savory food items, sweets, and other snacks in store. read more

Growing up, this was always our go-to bakery for birthday cakes. We always order a mocha cake. We even had a 2 tiered mocha cake for my Engagement party years ago. Although quality & deliciousness have improved, their cakes are significantly smaller than in the past and inflation of prices. But, I guess that's everywhere! I feel that this location offers cakes that are more fresh compared to the other Van's bakeries. I suggest getting there early in the morning, call in the morning to reserve a cake, or come 1-2 days ahead to place an order in person to get the freshest cake possible. By the end of the day, they usually sell out! read more
