    Long H.

    Finally got to try the banana pudding at hapa bakery. The banana pudding is good but a bit too sweet for me and Im a sweet person. I can only eat a few spoons at a time, which might be a good thing, it stops me from smashing the entire container. I do want to try thr chocolate or whatever flavor they have next time.

    Love this place. Cookies are so yummy not dry not too sweet. Banana pudding yummy. Have a lot of seating to enjoy their goodies and do people watching at Downtown Brea. Very pleasant store clerk.

    Nice staff and cute bakery. We tried their banana pudding, chocolate pudding, strawberry champagne and chocolate whiskey cupcakes. All were yummy but the cupcakes, which seemed slightly dry and crumbly. The chocolate whiskey cupcake was bitter. Everything else was very good though.

    Stopped in with my wife and tried the lemon cream frosted cookie, the sprinkle sugar cookie, and the banana pudding. Everything was really good. The lemon cookie was soft with a fresh lemon flavor that wasn't overly sweet. The sprinkle sugar cookie was exactly what you want from a classic sugar cookie, soft, buttery, and just plain good. The banana pudding was probably my favorite. Super creamy, great banana flavor, and tasted like something homemade. The shop itself was clean, bright, and had a fun vibe. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything looked as good as it tasted. Definitely coming back.

    The limited time carrot cake banana pudding was FIRE. So good. I would definitely come back to this place. There's a parking lot on the World Market side of the plaza and you can just walk through to the other side. Way better than street parking.

    I don't know if they've gotten better or my tastebuds have changed lol but I decided to give this place another chance, and have been back here a few times now. My kid also changed his mind because he also loves coming here now lol. Today I tried the salted caramel which was the best one I've tried here so far. Service was friendly once again, and the place is very clean inside.

    The woman working here was so welcoming and sweet! It's a cute bakery spot with a little seating area outside. The cookie butter pudding was amazing and to die for. I absolutely love anything cookie butter flavored, and this definitely exceeded my expectations, the flavor of the banana pudding and cookie butter mixed well. I'll definitely be coming back here.

    I was walking down Birch Street back to my car after visiting a local business when I came upon a "Try our world famous banana pudding" sign on the sidewalk. I love anything banana so it definitely caught my eye. I decided to walk into Hapa Bakery to check it out. The shop is fairly small, is very clean, and all walls are decorated nicely. There are four two seat tables, two inside and two out front. There is a refrigerated display case that holds their banana, nutella banana, and chocolate brownie puddings, along with a few other items. Two other counters display mouthwatering cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. The staff member was very friendly, and I mentioned that the sign out front lured me in to the shop, as I'm sure it does many others. I bought a container of banana pudding to take home, and managed to resist the urge to buy some of their other delicious looking goodies. I tried it the same evening, and it was truly heavenly. It is creamy and so flavorful, and is loaded with slices of banana and wafer cookies that are so soft and just melt. It is a good sized container, I'm guessing around 16 ounces, and is reasonably priced at just under $9. I try to limit my intake of sweets, but I will definitely be back to indulge here periodically.

    Got the banana pudding because my friend absolutely adores it. I was not disappointed. It's a cute little shop, and the workers were kind. The pudding itself was so light and airy, and when you get that scoop with a piece of banana and a piece of bread. Wow. Such a nice light dessert to share with some friends... or by yourself, I'm not judging. Gotta come back to try the cookie butter or nutella version of the banana pudding!

    Fantastic bakery! The person that helped us was very helpful and sweet. We got a chocolate on chocolate cupcake, a snickerdoodle cookie, chocolate chip cookie, and vanilla cupcake. Everything was so moist and not at all dry or overly sweet. The shop is super cute and chill. I definitely want to come back to try their banana pudding.

    Nice clean little place. Everything is nicely displayed which makes it hard to decide what to buy since it's all looks so good. The girl at the register quiet. But not rude.

    Cookie butter banana pudding

    I've been meaning to try Hapa ever since before this location opened and finally tried it when they were running a deal on the banana pudding. The cookie butter one is phenomenal! A bit pricey but would be worth the splurge if I'm in the area. Would also love to try their cookies and cupcakes

    This place is cute. They have some beautiful and tasty looking treats. They even have cute little snow globe cookies for the holidays. But I didn't try any of them. Honestly, just get the banana pudding...you're welcome.

The bathroom was nice and clean as well. We got the chubby cheesecake, sweet corn latte, and berries n cream matcha. Our cashier was very sweet and helpful with understanding the menu options. The cheesecake was SO delicious with fluffy cream on top and honey on the bottom. The corn latte is so yummy, such a nice light corn flavor! The berry matcha has a strong flavor and the fresh, sweet berries in it perfectly complement the matcha bitterness. The foam on the top is not too heavy either. Can't wait to come back when i'm in the area!

    Long-time customer, first-time reviewer…read more Smoking Tiger has one of my favorite pastries around - the Garlic Cream Cheese bread. Honestly, it's the main reason I keep coming back. The bread is soft, the garlic flavor is just right, and the cream cheese filling brings everything together perfectly. Their coffee drinks are also consistently good. My personal favorite is the Smokin' Spaniard, probably because I'm a sucker for anything made with condensed milk. It's rich, smooth, and just sweet enough without being over the top. On a recent visit, I decided to try their new Pineapple Express. It was a hot day, and I was in the mood for something fruity and refreshing without any caffeine. It was decent - light and refreshing, though it didn't quite stand out as much as their coffee drinks for me. Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries and coffee spots. Between the delicious pastries, solid drinks, and cozy atmosphere, it's a place I find myself returning to again and again.

Today is a Saturday afternoon and there was only one other customer in there with us. I would understand if there was a long line.
