    Pate chud - classic Vietnamese flavors in the meat, good ratio of bread to meat
    Keilani S.

    Walking in the store owner was very helpful and could tell it was our first time. Definitely was not familiar with any of the foods and was just looking for some baked goods. He offered samples which really helped us figure out what to get. The pate chud was yummy and has a good ratio of meat to breading. The pastry portion is light and fluffy. The cookie is like if an almond cookie and shortbread cookie had a baby, the texture is delightful! Inside is pretty straight forward as they have a bar and display with everything lined up. You can tell the owner is proud of what he's built, as he should be!

    Green bean Che, and other items

    I always love supporting small businesses and family-owned shops, but I also have to be honest about my experience. I stopped in because it's located near a restaurant we frequently visit. The owner was very friendly and proudly shared their history, fan mail, and reputation, which made me excited to try the food. I ended up buying almost one of everything. Unfortunately, the pâté chaud was already sold out by noon, which was actually the item I was most interested in trying. As for the items I did try, the durian bánh pía was overly soft and mushy for my taste. The bánh tiêu was just average and didn't stand out. The chè desserts tasted homemade, which some people may appreciate, but I found them fairly basic and not particularly memorable. The bánh trung thu was decent, but not something I would go out of my way to purchase again. Perhaps these products are exceptional compared to what is available where the bakery originated, but being in Orange County, the competition is extremely strong and there are many outstanding Vietnamese bakeries and dessert shops. I genuinely wanted to like this place and support them, especially after spending quite a bit and trying a wide variety of items, but overall I left disappointed. I may return one day to try the pâté chaud, since that was unavailable during my visit, but based on what I sampled, I don't see myself becoming a regular customer.

    House made moon cakes

    Kim Ninh bakery. I believe it's pretty new. Located in same plaza as Mai Phung. They open at 9. But if you call. They might be there earlier. I got helped on a Tuesday at 840. Fresh banh tieu. Super good. Came out right out of the fryer Fried Banh Bao. I found the dough too thick for my but flavor was good Pate Chaud. So fresh can't eat it right away. Nice and buttery. One of the best I had. Fresh moon cakes offered here also. Overall great bakery. I will def be a regular

    It was next door to a restaurant we were waiting to be seated at and was curious. The second you walk in you don't have time to even glance at their selection, the store owner will start bombarding you about the store history- they originally came from Texas and many many many customers love them.. They have an entire box of hand written letters mailed to them that keep right behind their counter. Kind of odd that every single person that written them a letter have the exact same hand writing (you can see it from the mailing address) on the envelopes. Dau Xanh Sau Rieng Teochew Moon Cake (durian)- very strong durian flavor. Pretty mushy, skin/pastry was pretty doughy.. a little sweet for my personal taste. Khoai Mo Teochew Moon Cake (purple yam) -personally first time having it and it was alright. Pretty sweet as well but not as sweet as the durian one. Skin/pastry was also pretty doughy..

    Banh tieu out of the deep fryer

    Banh tieu + pate chaud review Cash/zelle only Even tho the card machine is right there Got these fresh out of the oven/fryer! I believe it was $7-$7.5 for 2 banh tieu and 3 pate chaud Pate chaud 2/5 The pastry kind of has an odd aftertaste. Not that fragrant. I don't like the pork meatball inside, the pate they use is slightly gamey. Banh tieu 2/5 They do give lots of sesame seeds, but thats the only thing I like. The donut has some chew, but it tastes different than banh mi so 1. Service Was fine

    pate chaud
    kayla_cakie 1.

    we got one pate chaud and instantly had to come back for a box! the pastry was perfectly flaky and savory and not greasy. the meat filling was well seasoned and amazing. the owner was so sweet and funny, he spoke viet for me and english for my friend! would come here everytime im in the area :)

    Bean cookies
    Amber C.

    I Just tried thier Bean cookies. I have never heard of been cookies but seen them at the front counter and they looked good so o decided to try. Glad I did. They pair well with coffee and are not too sweet. They literally crumble in your mouth. So good.

    Mr. Kim was very friendly, and his wife does an excellent job with those mooncakes. I had Vietnamese coffee which I cannot describe except to say it has power and sweetness in a natural way. Parking is easy because it is in a rectangle shaped plaza, not a ton of parking but we found parking. There is a couple of tables inside, the customers I saw took their food to go. Please listen to the song I am parodying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQPhLCkUugw While you are reading my song parody portion of my review below.

    Mom&Pop Vietnamese cafe and bakery where you can grab drinks, bakery goods, and desserts to-go. The owner was very friendly. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee, which was delicious, although there was too much ice and I finished it in two sips (refer picture). There are no tables or bathrooms available for patrons. Businesses nearby are under construction, so limited parking during peak hours. It seems like their known for their pastries, so I'll have to come back to give the pastries a try.

    The baked goods selection seems limited here. They specialize in Moon Pies. They are packed with alot of flavor. Service is very friendly but its hard to know what they have on the menu unless you know about Vietnamese food

    Christopher T.

    Great quality of moon cake and banh pia plus the sponge cake with pork and egg york. The place is organized, well displace and with great customer service directly from the owners. Price wise is high but if it l good then why not.

So, I bought a 1/4 sheet cake for my husband's birthday on purpose because I wanted leftovers!!! The fruit is fresh and plentiful. The cake has two regular cake layers, one layer of crispy pastry and a pudding layer all surrounded by delicious (not too sweet) fresh whipped cream)... This is my favorite kind of cake and if you'll compare the Yelp ratings on other bakeries who also sell a similar type cake, Long Phung Bakery wins!!

It seems a bit messy, or maybe they need a bigger shop. Step further into the shop and there it is, the case of cakes! The case itself is old and the window to view the cakes is not clear, seems foggy. Hard to see the cakes. But with all the hype about this bakery on social media, I had to try it The Fruit Cakes are unique with fresh fruit not glazed or jam. Big bite size strawberries, mango, kiwi, grapes, pineapple with a thin layer of sponge cake, layers of crunchy phyllo and whipped cream. The smallest cake is a 1/4 sheet which cost $45. With all the fruit on top, it made it challenging to slice nice looking dessert slices. Super yummy, I can understand why people are making reels about this place on social media. It's a winner. Friendly service, accommodating and responsive to our needs. We requested no kiwi due to one allergy to it and they make it within 10 minutes.

I do have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of the baked goods but it's more of a personal preference. I would recommend the house special which has great durian flavor and a good variety of topping (love the toasted peanuts and jelly). Personally, I'm not a fan of the water chestnuts but they can always take it out for you. I also love the soy pudding which is both delicate and flavorful (reminds me of a really good douhua). One advice is to get the ice on the side if you're taking it out.

It's a burst of flavor and texture in your mouth! I also appreciate how fresh every ingredient and topping is. They give you these cute ice chunks separately so you can add once you eat for a fresh, unwatered down experience. They also provide a toasted coconut slice and peanut topping to give it that extra special unique and thoughtful addition! Well done Bake & Che; you have my vote. Vote for them!!
