    First time I visited this place. It was OMG moment. There are lots of Asian bakery in OC and I love them all. This place is one of my favorite one because store is clean, organized, friendly cashier, great taste and most of all the best prices! (Oh, I bought 5 and they gave me 6th FREE. ) If you love Asian bread, you must try this place once!!

    For your next last minute birthday cake, get one here. BF is a vibe. Located inside 99 Ranch on the left when you enter, this hidden gem has a lot of pastries similar to what you find with 85C, including 8-9 inch cakes that are pretty good. So I knew they do a good job with cakes because I had cakes from here awhile back, before everything became modernized in 99 Ranch and it was great. Nowadays, it's just as good as I remember it. So I ordered a full taro cake, made early in the morning and out on display in full form to just purchase and take home, and later at my party it was a huge hit. It was sweet but not overwhelmingly so as with most Asian pastries, the bread was moist and fresh, and the layers had a good mix of bread on the top and bottom layer, while the rich taro layer lies in the middle. Price-wise, I thought it was really good. $22 for a high quality cake that was universally popular at the party is very good. Service was very good here, something that is also great here. They package your cake in a beautiful box, and offer free candles, forks, and plates for your party. Definitely a highlight that would make your day better.

    Taro cake

    The taro cake was decorated beautifully. The price was decent at $24.99 for an 8 inch cake. My family enjoyed the taro filling and the fact that the cake wasn't overly sweet. The taro was not very smooth, but the flavor was good. The buttercream was a bit too overwhelmingly oily for my mom and I. But overall, the cake was good quality, tasted good, and the price was reasonable.

    The bakery shop is located inside the 99 ranch grocery store, and right in the front corner next to the cashiers, plenty choices of bakery and limited kinds of cakes, certain items are on sale daily.

    Yelp 2015 Challenge #18 What? Bread Farm 2 stars? Yes :/ I came here expecting that the Bread Farm here would be similar to the one I had tried at the 168 Market in Rowland Heights. Wrong. Located in the 99 Ranch Market on Culver Drive in Irvine, Bread Farm is in the corner of the market and supplies the 99 Ranch Market bread :P. They have the usual pan de leche, the cupcake. They had the green onion bread (which they just brought out) and I thought it was hot (since it had come out). As soon as I made my purchase... cold. Nope. And I was like what? O_O BUT THEY JUST BROUGHT IT OUT. Wow. Just wow. Their prices are the same as the other Bread Farm ($1.25 or $1.79 or $2.25+) and the selection is varied. But the way this Bread Farm looks doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing as the other one I went to. Service is also nonexistent (I went around the shelf with the bread 2-3 times and no acknowledgement). I only got it when I was purchasing. They have the mexican blueberry for $1.25 but it tastes a little bit more goopier. Their bread outside was cute and tasteful. But also cold D: Yep. They had bread and I thought some of them would be warm and just out but no :/ I would rather go to the JJ bakery around the corner. Way better.

    The 99 Ranch weekly flyers advertise baked goods noting that they aren't available at the Irvine Culver store. It is true that there isn't a 99 Ranch bakery at this store, but there is a bakery located in the store, BF Bakery & Cafe. It is located on the left side of the small food court area at the front of the store. The baked good selection at BF is somewhat similar to 85C as the offerings are Taiwanese rather than Cantonese. The prices are pretty competitive. I saw many pastries priced either as $1.25 or $1.79. They have a BOGO promotion on a few of their buns. On my visit here, there were 4 items to choose from. My parents who frequent this bakery often told me that the BOGO selection changes. So don't expect the same things to be BOGO every time you go. I tried a few of their buns while visiting Irvine last week. I really like their custard bun as the bread's softness holds up well after a day or two. I would also recommend the coconut bun as it also is delicious. The ones here are shaped differently than the ones at Cantonese bakeries. I can also vouch for their sandwich bread as it is the soft variety that you find at Japanese bakeries called shokupan. Though I would avoid the green onion bun that they have here as the taste was not to my liking. If you are shopping at the Irvine Culver 99 Ranch, BF is worth checking out for their baked goods. Their prices are cheap compared to 85C and they have BOGO specials, so it is worth giving them a try for those reasons to see if you can find a new favorite pastry here.

    Beautiful taro cake but it was ok
    Helena K.

    tons of favor and cake to choose from. I like the bakery they have, bread is good but cake is ok. I ordered Taro cake from here. they have real taro in the cake which is great but it frozen. I try to cut it during our friend birthday and so was so hard i can even cut it with regular knife. favor was ok. I would come back for bread though it was good

    Fruity macaroon cake for mi madre, $25.00

    This bakery inside the 99 Ranch Super Market is a "hidden" gem! I used to go to the surrounding bakeries in the plaza for cakes but I no longer ventured outside after I discovered it. They have a variety of baked goods, from croissants to log cakes to fruity birthday cakes! I've bought some pre-made birthday cakes here and I have never been disappointed. They are moist and fresh, not too sweet (which is something I prefer). The prices for the cakes are decent. The one I bought today is a circular 8 inch "macaroon fruity cake" at $25.00. Besides the birthday cakes, I also have had their mini "yellow" cheese cakes and I love them! They are fluffy and again not too sweet. Now let's talk about customer service. Linda was the baker who helped me today. Her friendly and helpful nature put me at ease! She helped me pick out a cake for my mom and offered to write "happy birthday" on a separate white chocolate sign for me to place it on the cake. She also asked if I needed paper plates. You hardly get this kind of good customer service, even more so at an Asian business. Anyway, thanks Linda. My mom loves her cake and that makes me happy.

    Bread Farm replaced the Desir Bakery that typically accompanies 99 Ranch chains. It is a Taiwanese-operated bakery that carries traditional Taiwanese bread, Euro-inspired pastries, and Chinese-style cakes. Their head chef is Haruka Lin, a talented baker who trained in Taiwan. The story behind Bread Farm's formation is summarized on a placard against the wall. The pastries at Bread Farm are "contemporary", along the lines of 85 Degree's, but Bread Farm offers its own creative variations. For example, I spotted a "green onion pork sung muffin" and "chocolate flower bread". Prices are competitive to local bakeries like JJ and 85 Degree, with pastries in the $1.25 to $2.50 range and most for $1.59. Hours: Monday to Saturday: 7am to 8pm Sunday: 9am to 8pm

    Can I pre-order the cake?

I would actually get it again. Original Cheesecake Blueberry - My second favorite. I really liked that it wasn't too sweet. The flavor was just right and really enjoyable. Double Matcha - Good, but not the best matcha dessert I've had. The shop itself is pretty small, but they have a nice selection of cakes and pastries. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other mousse cakes and cheesecakes!

With a guest of over 50 people (kids and adults), the cake and cupcake was a hit with everyone. My friends were complimenting on the blueberry cake and asked me who I had made it. A lot of my friends and family loved how detailed the cake was (with the Bumble Num theme) and also asked who made it. Overall, great experience.

    This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming. While the presentation…read morewasn't particularly impressive, that wouldn't have mattered if the food had been great. Sadly, the jasmine tea cheesecake was one of the worst desserts we've had. It tasted so unpleasant that we ended up throwing away what you see in the photo because we simply couldn't take another bite. The checkout experience was also a little unusual. The cashier told us the credit card machine wasn't working, so the only payment options were cash or sending a Zelle payment directly to the owner. There was a small handwritten sticky note with an individual's name and phone number for the Zelle payment, which felt a bit odd. To be fair, there wasn't a large selection available when we visited, so it's possible they have other pastries or desserts that are much better than what we tried. However, based on our experience, the item we purchased was disappointing, and the $12 definitely didn't feel well spent. On the positive side, the décor and overall aesthetic were lovely and were probably the bakery's strongest feature. But as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover... and you can't judge a bakery by its ambience either.

    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.

Absolutely phenomenal. Great flavor. The whipped cream is slightly too sweet but amazing otherwise. Love the red bean in here. There's a good mix of textures. Feels light thanks to the cream.

Someone cut in front of me and they didn't care. Free parking and plenty of it since it's a large plaza.
