    This Asian bakery , not even sure what style of bread and pastries they are, but I'm assuming Chinese esque. It's super good. It satisfies a different itch than like 85 degrees or some of the other mainstream places. Very very addicted to the little balls, idk what they're called but there's. Like taro, green tea and sesame varieties. The date walnut item is also very delectable. My own sour experience here in my many times I've been there is one time i arrived like 30 seconds after they Closed and the dude there saw me, and I waved politely. Told him I just wanted to buy 3 quick things and even had cash. But he ignored me. Kind of hurt my feelings cus I was there like right at closing. But oh well. Maybe he was in a rush to get home. Either way, not docking any points for that. Cheers

    I should've written them a review a long time ago because they deserve it. This bakery has been consistently good for as long as I can remember. I can't speak so much for the cakes, but the breads and pastries have always been delicious and comforting. The fair prices and quality remain consistent and the good variety of Taiwanese pastries/breads keep me a happy customer especially because the next good bakeries like this one are all the way out in 626! Like most bakeries, you'll have the most choices if go earlier in the day.

    I've passed by this bakery over the years but either it was after hours, or wasn't having any cravings for baked items, but I finally did and got to check out this J.J.'s in town. I don't think this is part of the actual J.J. Bakery (same name, but very different vibe here), but this one has tables and seats in the back and has a more modern look and feel. There's only two staff members working here at a time - think one is the owner and other is staff. But their bakery selections are of an abundance, with your Pineapple Buns, Taro Buns, Hot Dog Buns, cakes and also drinks. I picked up one of the Melon Flaky Pastry (forget its name...) and also one of their Rice Rolls. Both were pretty good, with the pastry item being my favorite. The Rice Roll was about $5 and the Melon Pastry about $3 (before tax). Their items are fresh, but they serve it all with Irvine prices lol. Two items for almost 10 bucks. Worth the visit though if you're ever wanting some Taiwanese baked goods. Lots of parking here, as it's inside a large shopping plaza.

    If we are comparing pricing for birthday cakes from Asian bakeries, then J.J. Bakery wins for being a more affordable option. I ordered a 8" vanilla chiffon cake with strawberry filling for my boyfriend's dad's birthday. The cake cost $38, which I think is quite affordable in this economy! The cake tasted decent, and there was plenty of fruit on top and inside of the cake; however, it was on the drier side. Also, I was disappointed that the Irvine location did not participate in the Thanksgiving promotion and didn't have any Thanksgiving cakes available for preorder. If you are interested in their seasonal cakes, you are better off ordering at the Rowland Heights location, which does offer seasonal promotions.

    Matcha moon cake

    I love a well decorated bakery. It's honestly so peaceful and aesthetically pleasing. I love that I can spend my adult money on things like this! They did have a $5 minumum cash only so when I grabbed the $4.95 moon cake the cashier told me I had to spend more than $5 to use my card! No biggie. I grabbed green tea cookies and they were very nice! Can't wait to have some with my tea. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the moon cake.

    Chicken Pie - delicious!
    Charrise L.

    Last minute pop in before my appointment at PureLux. I love Culver Plaza because there is plenty of parking spots and the aisles are nice and wide. JJ Bakery had shared outdoor seating which is nice. Convenient hours too. It smells heavenly in there. So many choices too. I had a Chicken Pie and it was fresh, warm and delicious!!! Ok, bye.

    young owner man gave to me for FREE to try it.  This the nicest thing for all the wealth, health, & blessings your way.

    I was there waiting for a coconut bun about an hour an a half. The young owner was so so very helpful, nice, great customer service ever. I asks him question about the items in the bakery. He then gave me forFREE to go try the all coconut bread. No ever give anyone anything for free now a days but, this young owner gentleman was so generous gave me this for free. I did purchase 4 item before he graceful offered me to take it and try it. This young man deserves all the blessing, health , wealth for himself & his business. I just can't say enough of how generous & kind hearted person he is. I hope he gets to see this post for is one in a million. Thank you so very much. Once again I wish you & your business all the wonders of good blessings alw

    Beautiful case filled with cakes

    5 Stars ALL THE WAY! I have no idea why this place only has three stars because if there were six stars available, that's what I would give this wonderful bakery! We discovered this place on our last trip from Vegas and when we were back in the area, we could not wait to get back here. Everything is so super fresh and it's not overly sweet. My husband and I always look forward to loading up on baked goods to keep in the hotel room and enjoy while we're visiting California and in the area. I really enjoyed the winter melon and read Bean pastries I had. My husband got quite a few croissant looking pastries one had tarot in it and it was absolutely delicious again not crazy sweet and the bread was so super soft & fresh. they have a beautiful case, filled with different kinds of cakes and all kinds of other delicious treats. I do not understand why this place is not 5 stars. In fact my husband wanted to come back and load up on treats to take home to Vegas!

    Panda bread & ham and egg sandwich
    Miranda C.

    I came here for a quick snack/lunch! The egg and ham sandwich was good! Bread was soft and there was good amount of mayo throughout the sandwich. I also grabbed the "panda bread" which is a chocolate cake like bread that is wrapped around white bread. The chocolate part of the bread was pretty moist but the white bread part was too dry. I did enjoy the combination of these two breads though. Service was nice and quick. The cashier was very friendly and smiley. There are a few booths towards the side of the store if you want to sit and eat. Other than that, it's your typical grab and go bakery. They had a large assortment of sweet and savory breads, sandwiches, pastries, and cakes as well.

    No more breakfast

    Came here to try their breakfast but they no longer serve it. Lots of parking in this plaza.

    This bakery is so underrated! I came in on a late night to pick up a last minute cake and they have a huge selection to choose from. I love how they have different sizes! I opted for a medium cake and it was the perfect size. They also threw in a "happy birthday" sign which was so sweet and thoughtful! We got the tiramisu cake and it was delicious.

    This place is such a mystery. How could someplace so…read moreunattractive and run down produce the very best bakery items in Orange County? The old adage "You can't judge a book by its cover," is true here. This place looks forgotten, ignored, unassuming, but produces the finest bakery items in Orange County. You enter and have to immediately get into a line. Inside, it is like a aged cafeteria of your childhood. You have to wait for a young lady who can't even look over the top of the counter because there is so much stuff piled high. She stands on tip toes to see you and you have to shout at her and point what you want. The problem is when she sees you, you are near the cash register, so you must say excuse me and walk in front of a line of people to point and shout out what you want. It is so poorly designed and complicated to order. We all endure because like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, the product is worth it. They sell the world's best Olive bread, scones, and strawberry crossants. If you survive the line, you make it to the cash register, pay, get a bag and leave. There is no where to sit. There is no internet. They shuffle you through and on to the next one. The pastry items are incredible and worth the trouble.

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.

I tried it with my wife today on 7/13/26 and the cream tasted sour... Wait, what? How??? Why??? We wondered whether it was a "new" flavor or something and realized that no, this just went bad. Granted that you are paying $12 for 6 of these, for $2 each puff this is not really acceptable at all. Sure, I called the store and they refunded me this purchase. By letting them know that they should probably throw away the rest of this batch, will this happen? The store clerk told me so, but who knows? The fact that you have to question premium stores really puts a sour taste in your mouth. It does make you wonder whether to come by again in the future or not.

Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well.

There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.

I remember I would buy one almost every day of my trip, so I've grown cravings for it that Hamadaya satisfies in OC. The bavarian chocolate cream is a fun decadent pastry if you're into chocolate- comes with so many chocolate chips. The cheese bread is also a go-to for me if I'm in a savory mood- it's exactly what it sounds like, cheese and bread but who doesn't love those two things? Egg katsu sandwich is good if you're looking for something more substantial. The strawberry shortcake I've tried here was also good, but I did pick it up near their closing so it felt a little dried out. Definitely would recommend coming here earlier in the day for fresher and better selection of pastries!
