They have this amazing taro pastry that's dark purple on the outside but very fluffy on the inside thats FURTHER filled with a yummy taro center! We bought it for our kids to share but ended up eating it with them as well. I wished I bought 4 of these LOL We had a few other pastries here such as their "bouche" and strawberry cheesepound cake and they were all solid as well. This is one of those bakeries that I would visit and load up for the week. Service was quick, professional, and polite. Decent amount of seating inside as well if you want to socialize or study.

Here's the thing, there are just so many good baked goods to choose from at Cafe Bleu Bakery in…read moreBuena Park (next to Zion market, on the north end of Beach Blvd.) They bake them from scratch, in-house, so you can always count on the breads, buns, cakes and cookies being fresh! For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

Another California visit, another absolutely necessary stop at Porto's Bakery!…read more My mom and I stopped in to pick up a Milk & Berries Cake for a family gathering, and I was so happy I was able to place the order ahead of time--it made everything so easy! Of course, I couldn't leave without grabbing a dozen guava cheese pastries because... priorities. They are a 10/10 every single time. And the Milk & Berries Cake? Absolutely delicious, as always! While we were waiting in line, my mom and I decided to treat ourselves to a dulce de leche latte and a vanilla latte, and WOW. The coffee was fantastic! I also have to give Porto's major credit for how incredibly organized everything is. Yes, there are ALWAYS a ton of people, but somehow they keep everything flowing and moving so efficiently. It's honestly impressive! I was visiting California from New York, and unfortunately, we don't have a Porto's in New York , so I genuinely look forward to coming here every time I visit my family. Milk & Berries Cake: 10/10. Guava cheese pastries: 10/10. Coffee: 10/10. Porto's, PLEASE open one in New York. Until then, I'll just keep making this a mandatory stop every time I'm back in California!

Cranky gals working the bakery ordering station, no smiles, monotone, no energy. Looks like they…read moreeither needed a hug, cup of coffee, or a raise, and unfortunately, I am unable to provide any of those 3 things. This really fit the "woke up on the wrong side of the bed" vibe that we all tend to joke with our friends and family lol. Whew. Understood it's never personal, as we're all strangers, but those hostile, uninviting, bad energy really rubs off on people. Came in for a birthday cake 2 weeks ago and this came bagged up at the order pick up station; the same birthday cake I got today for another loved one didn't come bagged, so after the gal who took my order left for the next guest, I asked the cashier (she had on a different color shirt) for the very big bags they have and yep, same no energy, no smiles vibe. Management, please look out for your team, or find ways to relocate non-customer service people into departments where they don't have to deal with people/face to face interactions. I'm surprised they don't have self ordering kiosks, that'd help a lot of "stressed" employees who don't have the capacity to provide basic customer service and to alleviate a lot of uncomfortable, hostile interactions. Porto's is great- food, pastries, and cakes hardly ever miss. It's always the human interaction part that really messes it up for companies of all sorts. Nothing personal, just sharing my very uncomfortable experience, talk about being unwelcome. Hope those 2 girls end up having a better day and finding their energy and smiles. Actually, shout out to the gal stationed at the entryway, she smiled and said good morning, welcome, hello to everyone walking in. Keep up the great attitude, thank you!

Amazing bakery in the Fullerton area! Everything I had here was good and delicious…read more There were so many unique and pretty pastries to choose from from cakes to croissants. I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

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 also tried their cookie croissant, which was decent, but the croissant was pretty hard. The bakery is super cute though. I do want to try their pastries, but was disappointed with the few items I got sadly.

This is a bakery located within the Source mall. The inside has a spacious seating area and what…read morelooks like abundance of different pastries to choose from. I bought two items and also wanted to try out their quiche. They apparently didn't have any available. I couldn't believe it because there were maybe 2 customers inside dining and chatting in a massive indoor dining space and it wasn't even 11am yet. Mind you that was on a Wednesday morning too. The pastries I got were also really stale. I have no idea how old they were, but it was definitely not fresh or tasty. Very dry and crappy. I wouldn't return unless I have a really really good reason why I should.

Loved every bite of my donuts from Yozm…read more The store was hard for me to find as the GPS/Google Map location was incorrect. The store is not on the ground floor and it's also not located within the Bakery Cafe or the food hall on the second floor. It's actually on the 3rd floor right off of the escalator inside of another food court type establishment. I ended up walking in circles and within their various corridors looking for the mall map on all three floors looking for Yozm. The saving grace was that their donuts were worth the trek and hassle. It has loads of fluffy and not too sweet whipped cream and also not too sweet sugar dusted donuts encasement. I loved both the bananas cream and strawberry cream donuts. I wouldn't mind returning just to get some more donuts and also grab some matcha latte nearby. The service here isn't the friendliest or the most helpful. I had to ask for a bag despite purchasing a box of donuts along with other pastries that was on display. Really unthoughtful knowing I was expected to walk through the mall without my items bagged. He couldn't muster any effort to look professional or attempt not looking visibly annoyed. The bakery area has ample seating inside where you can go ahead and devour your donuts and other drinks you might wanna grab from nearby cafe. I wouldn't mind returning again just because it's a little bit more convenient to get my fluffy cream donuts fix from here. But for now, I still prefer m going way out to Century City at the Knotted, which I 150% prefer.

This visit was on a Thurs morning around 9:30 for a birthday treat. Although they confirmed that…read morethey no longer have a bday promo, I got their in-app purchase of a Tiger Latte as well (my friend enjoyed it made less sweet, and I like that the default is made with oat milk). When you get the app, you can also get $5 automatically applied to your first app purchase. If you ever signed up for their rewards program before downloading the app, they import your points from your phone number account :). My only mild complaint is that the timed order- for-later request did not seem to make too big a difference, as my drink was probably ready 25 minutes early. Better early than late, though! Staff were friendly and informative as always. Shop had a few customers seated inside and outside, so there was plenty of room to study or sit a while. It was a bit cold for me, so probably a good place if you want some strong AC. Music seemed like a millenial-pleasing alternative-y mix: good for nondistracting background sound. Honey Bori Latte is one of my favorite seasonals anywhere! Loved it as intended at full sweetness (not too sweet) and still loved it at less sweet (recommend if enjoying with a bread or pastry imo). I like most specialty barley drinks. Default is dairy, so I assume there would still be some even if made with oat milk ($1 extra). I love the crunchy wheat snack topping, and it kind of reminds me of the cocoa puff topping in that black caf latte in Dland/Galaxy's edge. Will be back!

It absolutely pains me to leave a 3 star review for this place. I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

A perfect Cafe that made my day...was Tous Les Jours (It means everyday!)…read more I visited Tous Les Jours on a Thursday around 2:15 p.m. and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. From the gold and white décor to the soft jazz playing throughout the café, the entire space feels elegant, peaceful, and welcoming. One thing I really enjoyed was the self-serve bakery experience. You grab a tray when you walk in and choose from a selection of fresh pastries, breads, croissants, cookies, macarons, cakes, pies, tarts, and so much more. There truly is something for everyone. I ordered the Honey Lavender Matcha and a chocolate muffin and spent about 11bucks. Let me just say, both were excellent. The matcha was perfectly balanced with earthy matcha, honey, and lavender without being overly sweet. The chocolate muffin was soft, moist, and filled with a rich chocolate center that made every bite even better. I also appreciated the attention to cleanliness and presentation. Many of the fresh bakery items were individually wrapped and sealed, while others were beautifully displayed behind glass, giving the café a polished and upscale feel. What really stood out to me was the value. I spent less here than I had at another coffee shop earlier that week, yet left feeling like I received so much more. The quality, atmosphere, food, and overall experience made it feel like money well spent. Whether you're looking for a place to study, work remotely, enjoy a coffee date, meet a friend, or simply treat yourself, Tous Les Jours is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from their bakery because there were far too many delicious options to choose from in just one visit.

The Strawberry Mascarpone Tiramisu Cake from Tous les Jours is easily one of the best cakes I've…read moreever had. What I love most is how light and pillowy it is. The sponge is incredibly soft, and the mascarpone cream is light, airy, and not overly sweet, making every bite feel perfectly balanced. The fresh strawberries add just the right amount of sweetness and a slight tartness that complements the delicate cream beautifully. This isn't one of those heavy, overly rich cakes that leave you feeling full after a slice. It's so light and refreshing that it's hard to stop at just one piece. I chose this cake for my birthday, and it was the perfect celebration cake. If you enjoy desserts that are elegant, fluffy, and just sweet enough, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'll definitely be ordering it again!
