Was surprised when I bit into the curry pan, it was so soft and warm! Very tasty would def get again! The kobojicha latte is their hojicha latte. Not the best hojicha but it was sweet and creamy with salted foam on top. I liked that it was made with oat milk. Will definitely have to come back for more :)

3/5 for the matcha, but 5/5 for the pastries!!…read more I got the Matcha Rose Latte and unfortunately was pretty underwhelmed. The matcha flavor wasn't very strong and I felt like the drink was missing that rich, earthy matcha flavor that I usually look for. Overall, it wasn't bad, but definitely not something I would come back specifically for. HOWEVER, the pastries are a completely different story. 5/5. Their Curry Pan is SO GOOD. Super crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the curry filling is so flavorful. This is honestly what I would come back for over the drinks. They have a huge selection of Japanese-style breads and pastries, and everything always looks so fresh and fluffy. If you're coming here mainly for matcha, I think there are better matcha spots in OC. But as a bakery?? Absolutely worth trying. Come for the pastries and definitely get the Curry Pan!!

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.

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.

Wow. Coming from NorCal, we had no idea a bakery like this could exist! This place was massive and…read morehighly organized. It was like a small army preparing our insanely detailed orders. There were so many customers that there were two long, winding lines on each side of the restaurant, each with their own set of employees and registers. The menu itself was crazy, and I was genuinely impressed with our server's kindness and ability to remember our order because I had to write everything down myself. We ordered the Turkey sandwich with candied bacon (genius!), Yuca fries, 1 Plato de ropa vieja with extra rice, and a variety of croissants and pastries for our road trip home. We greedily devoured everything. Portos - PLEASE expand to the Bay Area, we need you!!

On July 5, I arrived at the store around 6:50 a.m. to pick up my order, but the staff could not find it. After checking, they told me that the person who took my order on June 28 had written it down incorrectly as a 6:30 p.m. pickup, not 6:30 a.m. Even though they admitted that the order was written incorrectly on their side, they told me I would have to wait about 30-40 minutes for them to prepare the original items. I had to pick up my order and leave right away, so I ended up taking different replacement items instead and got money back the price difference in cash. What was more disappointing was how the situation was handled afterward. I did not receive any apology from the bakery that morning, so later that day I called the store hoping to at least hear a simple "sorry" for the inconvenience. The employee on the phone only asked questions like who took the order and why the price difference was paid back in cash not card, and never offered any apology. Because of this, I went back to the store in person to speak with the manager or owner. The owner, pretending as manager, told me that the order slip showed a 6:30 p.m. pickup time, not 6:30 a.m., and insisted that there was no fault on their side. She didn't say sorry but just blamed the one who wrote wrong. I explained that all I wanted was a basic apology: they had written the order time incorrectly, I could not receive what I originally ordered, I had to take a smaller replacement order, and then I had to visit another bakery to buy more items to make up for the shortage. Even after explaining the inconvenience this caused, I still did not receive a sincere apology. The lack of responsibility and basic customer service in handling their own ordering mistake was very disappointing, and that is why I am sharing this experience here.

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.

My family and I went over to their food items and had a field day picking out what we wanted from containers. I got their sweet honey bread which was amazing, I've been a kick ordering this at bakeries. The blueberry muffin was okay, it was a bit crumbly. Corn mochi was quite interesting but I learned to like it. Sweet Potato mochi was solid and then I didn't try the Chestnut mochi. It was overall a good setting to get work done and plug your laptop in, use their wifi or restroom.

Small cozy store with friendly counter to order what you want. Senorita bread came out quick and warm. Had to eat one in the car before leaving.

The bread is always served warm, glazed with butter and sugar, and it's fairly inexpensive, costing $4 for five pieces. The bread is a hit at parties because the hot, sweet bread is hard to resist. I came at the end of the day, and the senorita bread was still available, hot and fresh! They're also open at 6am, which is great if I want a warm snack for the team at work. They close at 6pm; however, they have their mochi donuts, malasadas, and donuts at 50% off in their last hour of operation (5p-6p). Coming in at 5pm, I was able to get three mochi donuts for $5, and a malasada for $1.29. It's reasonable at full price, but it's a steal at happy hour!

Paris Baguette has locations all over California and I'm not a fan of their drinks, but their…read moredesserts and pastries are pretty nice. It's obvious that Paris Baguette has a strong pulse on what's trendy in pastry and they're really smart about what they put out there. This month, they had a smores theme, so I got a smores liege waffle and a smores croissant. The croissant was "new york style", where it was filled with a marshmallow creme and dipped in chocolate. The liege waffle was pretty nicely crispy like a kouign amann and it also had that marshmallow creme that provided the perfect touch of sweetness. I love that you can get a curry croquette here and their version is not bad. What I love getting here is their version of a coffee croissant doughnut. Compared to Dominique Ansel's version, I believe their coffee doughnut compares pretty favorably. Unlike Ansel, who offers the coffee doughnut occasionally, Paris Baguette offers the coffee pastry pretty consistently and I'm appreciative of that.

We come here at least once a week to pick up bread for lunch or dessert. They have a rewards app…read morewhere you can earn points toward free drinks and pastries, which is a nice bonus. They always have a great selection of fresh bread, pastries, and cakes, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. The dining area is often filled with elderly customers chatting and relaxing, but we've never had trouble finding a table for a quick snack. Their cakes are one of our favorites--they're so light, fluffy, and not overly sweet. We end up ordering one here for almost every family birthday. Overall, it's a reliable neighborhood bakery that we keep coming back to.

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 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!
