This place is such a mystery. How could someplace so…read moreunattractive and run down produce the very best bakery items in Orange County? The old adage "You can't judge a book by its cover," is true here. This place looks forgotten, ignored, unassuming, but produces the finest bakery items in Orange County. You enter and have to immediately get into a line. Inside, it is like a aged cafeteria of your childhood. You have to wait for a young lady who can't even look over the top of the counter because there is so much stuff piled high. She stands on tip toes to see you and you have to shout at her and point what you want. The problem is when she sees you, you are near the cash register, so you must say excuse me and walk in front of a line of people to point and shout out what you want. It is so poorly designed and complicated to order. We all endure because like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, the product is worth it. They sell the world's best Olive bread, scones, and strawberry crossants. If you survive the line, you make it to the cash register, pay, get a bag and leave. There is no where to sit. There is no internet. They shuffle you through and on to the next one. The pastry items are incredible and worth the trouble.

Food: My favorite bread is the olive bread It tastes fresh and incredibly delicious. It had a lot of olives on it, which I liked. However, the onigiri was just okay. It was almost all rice and had very little mentaiko in it. Service: The service here is good. Ambiance: The decor outside is a bit outdated.

I ordered this durian cake for our anniversary, and wow... it's easily the best cake I've ever had…read more If you love real durian, you'll love this cake. The cream is super smooth and filled with actual durian pulp--no artificial flavor at all. The sponge is so light and fluffy that it almost melts in your mouth, and it pairs perfectly with the rich, fruity durian cream. I already love fresh durian and durian ice cream, but this was my first time trying a durian cake, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The 6-inch cake was $68, so it's definitely a treat, but I'd happily buy it again. Just make sure to order a few days ahead. The service was amazing too. Since it was our anniversary, they added a cute "Happy Anniversary" sign to the cake at no extra charge. When we picked it up, they even reminded us to head straight home because the summer heat could affect the cake. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their cakes and want customers to enjoy them at their best. Definitely coming back to try more flavors!

We ordered the Half & Half Bundle (6 donuts + 20 Ube Staxx because we believe in balance). Monique told us they were out of Staxx and had to bake more, so we did the walk of patience and came back. Corine assisted us round two. Thank you much!! Let's talk aboit this magical bread. The Ube Staxx came out warm... soft.... chewy.... like edible hugs!! I melted with every bite!! We blacked out and ate half the box in the parking lot. No shame!! Ordered 3 more boxes of Ube Staxx. Yes, THREE!!!! Yes, we waited again. Oh yeahhh...., so very worth it!!!!!!! The donuts were cute, unique, and delish... but the Staxx? Absolutely dangerous!!! Extremely hazardous to your self-control!!!! You've been warned!!!

The seasonal drinks are just as divine and inspired by California seasonal offerings. I have managed 3 donut shops in my lifetime and make donuts for fun at home, so to say I'm a donut enthusiast would be an understatement. I know a good donut when I have one and these are spectacular. You can taste that everything is homemade in house and it truly makes a difference. The decor is always cute and the staff are always friendly. Though their regular/non-rotating donut flavors are just as good (the butter pecan, plain, chocolate glazed and bumbleberry), if I'm making the drive all the way out here, I prioritize their monthly flavors first. Next time you find yourself in the OC area, swing by and grab a dozen or two to share with friends.

The chocolate ganache cake was not really my cup of tea, but I think that's my own personal preference. It was bitter, which I know ganache can be sometimes.

I do want to try their pastries, but was disappointed with the few items I got sadly.

Baked Banhs have some of the best canelés in town, and sadly, they are closing on June 27th! We are…read moreso sad we didn't get to come visit until quite recently. :( We parked in the nearby parking lot on 4th street. Usually parking here isn't too bad if you're staying for less than an hour and easy to walk over to the dessert shop. Baked Banhs is located in the 4th street food market, one of the first shops you'll see if you're coming from the parking lot. Note the hours before you come (for instance, they're closed on Sundays and Mondays). And note that they seem to usually sell out of certain items by the days end. We've tried a number of different items here now including four of their canelés and their basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was solid. But we really loved their canelés. They are soft/moist on the inside with a nice crunch. And the different flavors really come through. Our favorite is the black sesame - not only is there black sesame peppered on the top but also in the center with a nice black sesame cream. It's so good and delicious. Four canelés cost $16 and thought they were well worth the price. Again, it's so sad to hear that Baked Banhs is closing soon so if you're a fan of canelés or other desserts, recommended to come sooner than later to try this out! We really hope they reopen again elsewhere or do a lot of pop-ups soon.

I like getting the plain vanilla one, and it also comes with a little cereal at the bottom that gives it a good crunch. The coffee jelly milk is also great, it feels similar to a boba drink but it's a lot cheaper. Whenever I come here it's always the same lady who I'm sure is tired of seeing me lol, but she is so sweet and kind and patient when I have trouble deciding what to pick here! As for the pastries/desserts, the custard pudding cup deserves more love! I'm not sure if it's housemade here, but if you've ever been to Japan, it tastes exactly like the ones you buy from the konbini! I remember I would buy one almost every day of my trip, so I've grown cravings for it that Hamadaya satisfies in OC. The bavarian chocolate cream is a fun decadent pastry if you're into chocolate- comes with so many chocolate chips. The cheese bread is also a go-to for me if I'm in a savory mood- it's exactly what it sounds like, cheese and bread but who doesn't love those two things? Egg katsu sandwich is good if you're looking for something more substantial. The strawberry shortcake I've tried here was also good, but I did pick it up near their closing so it felt a little dried out. Definitely would recommend coming here earlier in the day for fresher and better selection of pastries!

Unfortunately, the rest of the baked goods we tried were just okay and nothing particularly memorable. The staff also weren't especially friendly, which took away a bit from the experience. One thing to keep in mind: there's a $0.75 charge for using a credit card, so be sure to bring cash if you want to avoid the extra fee. Parking can also be a challenge. The lot is small, and most of the spaces are better suited for compact cars. Overall, I'd come back for the cream puffs, but probably not much else.
