    Don't do business here.  They are only interested for quick cash nothing else.  No service .  Owner does not care about her customers
    shahriar m.

    One of the worse owners I have encountered . I came about 3 weeks ago to inquire about a special order, spoke to the Asian owner and she said she would call me back to come and get a sample. Weeks went by and I never heard from her. Came back to today after 3 weeks to see her and ask about my inquiry . She said she gave my number to the cook to call me and that can not fulfill my request . What a bad Managment style . Anyways I don't recommend this place to anyone. Also the name of the business is BP but on the website it is spelled out and seems different and that is why they probably have high rating . Beware of the unprofessional owner

    Delicious! There's a wide array of Mexican bread. French rolls and sweet pastries galore. I got a chocolate concha, ham and cheese croissant, pumpkin empanada and a regular croissant. The conchas are sooooo good and all their pastries were perfectly sweet and fluffy. The croissants, both plain and ham and cheese were flaky and delicious. You can make your own egg sandwich with the croissant. Absolutely delicious! Would come here again.

    Bui Phong Bakery (aka BP Bakery) is the epitome of all that is San José: it's a French Vietnamese-owned Bakery that specializes in Mexican Pastries. Did you get all that? No? That's ok. It's a lot to wrap your head around, I know. They're located in the heart of one of San José's most Ghetto-Fabulous neighborhoods -- that's lovingly referred to by some as "Ghetto Glen." They mostly specialize in Mexican Pan Dulce -which I'm not really into- but they also have a few things in there that they do really well. Here's a quick list: Torta Bread- Wonderful Torta Rolls that are a fabulous value at 3-for-$1, and if that weren't enough they're actually quite good too--especially if you catch them straight from the oven! They also sell Torta sandwiches that are very popular with the Day Laborers and Construction Workers that are their main clientele in the morning. I have yet to try one, but maybe someday soon. 5* Cinnamon Roll- Not the greatest Cinnamon Roll I've ever had but for the price it's not bad; it doesn't have a lot of Cinnamon flavor but the bread is spot-on. 3* Croissant- They have two different Croissants: a Pan Dulce version and the standard French version. The Pan Dulce is pretty good, but not really my cup of tea. The French one, however, is very good; not as flaky or buttery as a Flower Flour Croissant but -again- for the price ($1.25) very not bad! 3*-Pan Dulce/4*-French Stuffed Croissant- They have a couple of stuffed Croissants that are excellent but I highly recommend the Turkey, Jalapeño and Cheese! It's as wonderful as it sounds. 5* Banana Cake- I just recently discovered this little gem. It's basically a slice of Banana flavored Yellow Cake, topped with Banana-encased gelatin. While the gelatin wasn't that great the cake itself was fantastic; soft, moist, not too sweet and a great banana flavor. They also have a Pineapple version that I can't wait to try! 4.5* Service & Ambiance- The ladies working the front are very friendly and speak a fair amount of English. The store is "Cash Only" and -as I mentioned before- the neighborhood is kinda suspect so be sure to lock your car. The store itself is kept clean and is usually very busy first thing in the morning and early evening. 4* Value- This is definitely BP's strong suit -on account of their stellar location- their prices are terrific. The most I've paid for anything here is a $1.75-- and that's usually for a huge pastry that could feed two people; most of their items are well below the $1 range. 5* Ordinarily I would never frequent this area, but I -fortunately!- work just a few blocks away. BP Bakery is a real diamond in the rough and I highly, highly recommend it if you're looking for some high-quality baked goods.

    All this for $4.50 cheap

    I feel like a million bucks coming to Bui Phong Bakery (BP). When I first came to BP, I almost walked out thinking I came to the wrong place. Kind of strange, Asian name but no sort of Asain baked goods. It's mainly Mexican baked goods which I don't typically eat. The crossiant filled with turkey, cheese and jalapeño is excellent. Plain Crossiant is also good, doesn't have flaky crust but still good. There pineapple pie, strawberry turnover is good. Coconut Mounds is excellent if you can get it fresh from the oven. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I gotten it when it wasn't fresh from the oven, it didn't have that crispy outside. If your there early, ask one of the ladies for fresh. BP Bakery is located in a stechy area. Serves cheap bake goods, that's why there's always a line. The ladies are very nice and line moves pretty quick. Just a few bucks and you'll have breakfast and lunch.

It looked so pretty and we had high hopes. We took the option of adding on a fondant banner for $5 in the store and settled on berry and vanilla. Whoever was helping us was really not much help at all. I guess at least she was honest, but she didn't know what any of the cakes tasted like and if it was buttercream or whipped cream. The cake itself was dry and hard: the texture was oh so wrong. I don't know if it was old, frozen for too long, or some odd ingredients? But for $65 for a small 6", it was very disappointing. We also got the small bisou and a small napoleon. Better than the cake, but still just ok.

We checked in and were seated right away, and the setup was absolutely beautiful! They brought out our tea first, which we enjoyed while waiting for the pastry tower to arrive. Once it came out, they told us to eat from top to bottom, so that's exactly what we did! Each bite was delicious, everything tasted freshly baked and made, and I especially loved that the pastries weren't overly sweet. Although we enjoyed eating the tower from top to bottom, next time we would probably go from bottom to top since we like to save our sweets for last! Of course, we couldn't leave without getting more pastries to bring home. They have plenty of classic pastries, like croissants, along with more unique specialties, like their croissant cube. Everything looked and tasted so fresh, with that perfect flaky, crackly texture. The pastries are a little pricey for bakery items, but in my opinion, they're definitely worth it for the quality and freshness. Overall, we had such a lovely time celebrating my grandma's birthday here and would definitely come back for more pastries!

We ordered a dozen -- 6 original and then one of each of their special flavors (mango, ube, passionfruit, guava, blueberry, and lemon). They were still warm and smelled delicious, but that's about where it ends. The crust is the best part. Flaky and crunchy. But the "custard" for every single one was more like pastry cream, barely any egg flavor and overly sweet. Like, almost sickly sweet where everyone could only eat half of a tart before declaring they were done and then needed an entire glass of water to wash it down. Even the appearance was pale and barely yellow, and the consistency was... gel-like? Definitely not a custard. So disappointed because I heard so many great things about Adega, and I was genuinely excited to finally be able to try it. Workers were nice, but with such a huge miss on the pateis de nata, I can't say I'll come back to try again or recommend this to others.

Customers usually come in, grab what they need, pay, and head out, which keeps things moving smoothly. One of the best things about this bakery is the incredible variety of pastries and breads.

They also offer rice balls and drinks that can be ordered at the register. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. Small businesses like this deserve our support!

We walked into a cozy, compact space with shelves filled with freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods, all arranged in a way that makes you want to browse slowly even though the shop is small. The atmosphere has that simple, welcoming feel reminiscent of the small bakeries you find throughout Japan, focusing more on quality and variety than on a large café setup. Seating is limited, so it is better suited for grabbing something to go rather than spending a long time inside. The biggest draw here is the combination of Japanese baked goods and savory items. The bakery selection offers a great mix of sweet and savory options, with classics like melon pan standing out for its crisp sugary topping and soft interior that stays light without being dry. The curry bread and croquette bread are also popular choices, both feeling comforting and freshly made rather than overly sweet or greasy. The bakery items are reasonably priced, which makes it easy to pick up multiple things without feeling like you are spending too much, and the variety means there is always something new to try. The onigiri selection is what really makes Clover stand out compared to a typical bakery. They offer a variety of rice balls with fillings like spicy tuna, tuna mayo, and unagi, making it a great option for a quick breakfast or light meal. The rice is well balanced and the fillings give each onigiri a different personality. The spicy tuna has a nice kick that comes through without overpowering the rice, while the unagi adds a sweeter, more savory flavor that works especially well with the slightly salty rice. The onigiri are a practical, satisfying choice for anyone looking for something more substantial than a pastry. Beyond the baked goods and onigiri, Clover also has drinks, sandwiches, and desserts including cakes and other pastries. The strawberry cake is a nice lighter dessert option, and the overall menu gives plenty of reasons to visit whether you are looking for breakfast, a snack, or something to bring home. The offerings feel thoughtfully selected, with enough variety to cover different cravings without making the menu feel scattered. Service is friendly and efficient, and the small size of the shop adds to the charm. Since it has become a popular local spot, some items can sell out during busy hours, so arriving earlier gives you the best selection. Parking can also be a little challenging during peak times, but the quick grab-and-go style makes the visit easy to manage. Clover Bakery & Cafe is a great stop for anyone who enjoys Japanese bakeries. The combination of fresh breads, affordable prices, and unique savory options like onigiri makes it feel different from a standard bakery. It is the type of place where it is worth picking up a few items and trying a mix of everything, leaving you with the sense that you have found a little neighborhood gem that delivers on both quality and variety.
