    Cakes
    Tony J.

    This quaint bakery, has always been one of my favorite places to pick up a fresh tasting tres leches cake. Always nice to appreciate, support, local, small businesses, in Efron, bakery, has always been grateful! Yeah, very nice outside seating, I've made special requests, (during the holidays ). such as gingerbread cookies that look like me, lol One time I ordered a delicious cake, and asked them to write " I love you, Tony!" on it, the lady asked, who is Tony ? and I told her that the cake was a treat for myself!

    Challah bread
    Betty G.

    After seeing many good reviews about the challah bread here, we thought we would pick up a loaf and try it out since my husband loves good bread. I was actually disappointed because the dough wasn't as chewy as I was expecting. It tasted just like egg bread. It wasn't bad but just not what I was hoping for. Maybe it is better fresh out of the oven? I would say it's a 3.5/5 but will round it up to a 4/5 since there's no .5. I will continue with my search for a good loaf of challah bread.

    Picture that shows left side had a second layer, right side didnt have second layer.  It was filled in with whipped cream.

    I had the worse experience i have ever had at any place of business. I ordered a Tres Leche cake and asked her if she could decorate like a picture I sent her, but I wanted less flowers to add Happy Birthday to the cake. She said no problem and had me write out the instructions. I was kinda shocked when she said it would be 100.00. But it was what my grand neice wanted. I went to a Mexican bakery on purpose to get a Tres Leche cake. When I pick up the cake, the flowers were huge and she said the baker said he couldn't put writing cause there was no room. The party was in 1 hour, so I had to take it. She gave me $8.80 off for the Happy Birthday missing. I paid $91.20. We didn't cut the cake until around 6 pm as it was a swim party. When I cut the cake, it wasnt even a tres Leche cake. It was very dry and it got worse. It was a 2 layer cake, but 1/2 the cake didn't have a top layer. It was missing and was filled in with the whipped cream frosting to make it look like it was ok before we cut into it. I dished up the cake for people to eat, but I saved approximately 1/5 th to take back and show them the quality. I took it back on Monday and the lady at the counter was the roudest I have ever been treated. She didn't know English very well, but just started yelling that we should have brought it back same day or Sunday. That it wasn't even the same cake. She wasn't nice about it and didnt even give a chance to discuss. She just yelled. She wouldn't even talk responsibly or without yelling. I got so angry that I squished up the rest of the cake and walked out. I have never been treated like that from anyone, especially a place of business. I will attach pictures of what I asked for and what I got. I would have gone somewhere else if she would have told me they can't do what I asked for. I sent her the picture 2 hours before she called and said to come to the store to put in the order. I am attaching pictures of the cake from the day of the party. The pictures shows how the left side had a top layer, but the right side has only whipped cream filling where the second layer should be. The cake wasnt Tres Leche. It was dry. I hope people read this review before selecting this bakery.

    Challah
    Niko P.

    Saw a sign for Mexican & Jewish bakery so obviously I had to go in. What a fantastic discovery! The staff were lovely and patient. The place had so many amazing treats. We ended up leaving with a super affordable loaf of challah. When I got home and tried it... Best challah I've had in years! My partner and I will be coming back!!

    Brownie
    Danielle S.

    This local bakery is awesome. The brownie was delicious and I really enjoyed that it was covered in chocolate. I also picked up a challah bread, which was excellent as well. A good place to pick up some amazing baked goods.

    Mini concha's assorted cookies.
    Lisa G.

    Had a pretty large order for my daughter's wedding. They were very helpful and friendly when ordering. Customer service is A+. Bakery items were delicious and fresh and a very large variety to choose from. They sent us home with the most delicious bread, and when I returned to pay the remainder of the bill they sent me off with cookies. I highly recommend using this bakery, you don't experience this kind of service these days.

    Tres Leches Cake.
    Archie S.

    A nice little Mexican bakery with Pan Dulces, drinks, food and Cakes for all occasions. The store is very cleanly kept and has a good selection of cookies as well. I was looking to find a Tres Leche Cake for Fathers Day and I had come to the perfect place for it. They had them in Small, Medium and Large sized cakes. I had chosen the medium sized one and they also write on the cakes. I'd definitely come and get other items for future events here if needed. The cake itself was very nice and not extremely sweet. It had the right amount of moist to it and came with a layer of strawberry jam in the middle. The medium size is decent sized so I believe that's good for about 10-12 people. Service was good here too as the lady helping was very nice and helpful.

    Custom Pineapple Challah Bread , the best!!!

    Best Apple and Pineapple Challah Bread in OC! I love the friendly service and that they make custom orders.

    it was supposed to say "what's funnier then 24? -25?"  "whet"&"bunnier" not correct.

    Cream Pan never fails to deliver! Not only when it comes to fresh, delicious bakery items but also…read morefor savory meals at reasonable prices. The portions across the board are generous, high-quality, and worth every penny.  As you can see from my previous review, their chicken katsu is one of my faves. It is crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside. It's a generous portion with plenty of Japanese curry sauce, and I love the pickled red ginger. There is a kiosk available from 9:30 to 5 pm, where you can now order and pay for their katsu items. I believe the Chicken Katsu Curry was around $17.99. You need to show the receipt when they call your name. I also picked up a couple of sandwiches. The Tuna Butter Roll hits the spot for a quick, comforting lunch. It is packed with creamy tuna, cucumber, and tomato slices--at just around $3.50, it's an incredible value. The Sandwich Box assortment (egg, ham, turkey, tuna) gives you a little bit of everything, making it perfect for a satisfying light lunch on the go. If you're looking for hearty portions at reasonable prices, Cream Pan continues to hit the mark every single time.

What Cream Pan is known for, to the point where people call this a cream pan. Solid and I prefer their pastry cream over the whipped cream that a lot of places use. You can easily buy as a set. The more you buy, the larger the discount. It feels like it's gone through shrinkflation though. Also not as good as it used to be. Adzuki cream: 10/10. The hidden star of the place. 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. Cream puff: 6/10. Was disappointed by this to be honest. Other pastries I've tried like the one in the photo are just okay. Nothing stand out. Customer service isn't great. Someone cut in front of me and they didn't care. Free parking and plenty of it since it's a large plaza.
