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.

Cream Pan is a solid staple. I haven't tried most of their items, but have tried a few…read more Strawberry croissants: 7.5/10. What Cream Pan is known for, to the point where people call this a cream pan. Solid and I prefer their pastry cream over the whipped cream that a lot of places use. You can easily buy as a set. The more you buy, the larger the discount. It feels like it's gone through shrinkflation though. Also not as good as it used to be. Adzuki cream: 10/10. The hidden star of the place. 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.

The smiling donkey cake topper was whimsical, adorable, funny, & the attention to detail was amazing!

Hopefully their closure (as listed on Yelp) will only be temporary...looking forward to their re-opening!

FOR FUTURE SPECIAL EVENTS I WOULD CHOOSE A DIFFERENT BAKERY - if I could give this zero stars I…read morewould. What was most disappointing was the owner Capri's complete lack of accountability and unwillingness to offer any meaningful resolution. She didn't offer to rectify the issue, she simply said thanks for providing feedback. I had to raise the possibility of rectifying it myself. I wasn't even asking for a refund. When she asked what resolution would look like, I attempted to have a constructive conversation. Instead of addressing the actual concern, she focused on labeling my feedback and follow-up calls as "disrespectful" and ultimately told me we should part ways. Mistakes happen. But Poor customer service is a choice. She's blocked me on IG from commenting under my own cake, where I was speaking to another lady who was a loyal customer and would order 2-3 cakes a year for 4-6 years and just recently they didn't deliver to her and shockingly provided no intention of communicating this with her. It sounds like the previous owner was a lot more competent from reading other similar disappointed reviews like mine. The issue was disappointing, but the refusal to meaningfully address it--and the way the complaint was handled--was ultimately the bigger problem. Beautiful cake, but disappointing attention to detail & customer service I want to start by saying that the cake itself was gorgeous and, visually, it was very close to what I envisioned. I also appreciated that they provided free delivery from Tustin to Orange, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, there were enough discrepancies between what we discussed and what I actually received that, especially for the price, I left feeling disappointed. I provided two inspiration photos and spoke with the owner multiple times by phone about the specific details of the cake. I was repeatedly told that she only personally gets on the phone for wedding cakes and special-event cakes, so I made a point of going over the details carefully with her when I had her on the phone. Despite those conversations, several details were missed: * The Chanel-inspired font did not match the inspiration photo we discussed. * The edible glitter we specifically discussed was not on the cake. * The inspiration showed white pearls on top, but the cake had gold pearls instead. * The filling was described/discussed as including fresh fruit, but what I received was only raspberry puree. The cake itself was lemon with raspberry puree and cream cheese piping. * The communication through the online portal was also unnecessarily confusing. For something this detailed, I would have preferred straightforward phone communication rather than relying so heavily on portal messages, where details can easily get lost or misunderstood. As well as calling them directly and talking to an AI machine rather than a live person What was most disappointing, however, was the lack of follow-up after I brought these discrepancies to their attention. I called back to provide feedback and was told to ask for the owner. I did exactly that, yet I have received no follow-up since August 26. It's now Sept 4th and I had to call because there has never been a follow up. I understand that custom cakes involve artistic interpretation, and I wasn't expecting a completely identical replica of an inspiration photo. However, when specific details are discussed multiple times directly with the owner, I do expect those details to be reflected in the finished product. The cake was beautiful, but beautiful isn't enough when multiple agreed-upon details are missed and there is no meaningful customer service afterward. For what I paid, I expected significantly better attention to detail and communication. Overall, I'm disappointed with the experience. It's especially disappointing when celebrating a 35th bday while being newly ENGAGED and the white pearls were the biggest missing piece. Without the white pearls it no longer read as Chanel or even bridal for that matter. There was also no offer to rectify the situation or otherwise address the mistake. Instead, after I provided my feedback, I was told that we should part ways. I found that response disappointing, particularly for a milestone celebration and at this price point. I'm not leaving this review because the cake wasn't perfectly identical to a photo. I'm leaving it because of how my concerns were handled after the cake did not meet an important part of the requested design. I would have appreciated an effort to resolve the issue rather than having the conversation end with the decision to part ways. For future special occasions, save yourself the headache, hassle and frustration. I STRONGLY suggest you go anywhere else.

Since we had just come from a soccer tournament, we were still dressed casually, including my son who was still in his soccer uniform. I felt a little out of place because everyone else was dressed nicely. Our waiter Eddie was amazing--super friendly and patient. He answered all of our questions, made great food recommendations, and even suggested the perfect amount of food for the three of us to share. Eddie went above and beyond and asked my son what position he played in soccer. He mentioned that he played soccer himself, which was such a nice personal touch. My boyfriend also asked if they had other locations, and Eddie told us about their other locations and even mentioned that this location will eventually be moving into the old El Torito location in the same shopping center. And the was amazing! I can't stop thinking about it! The three of us shared the beef kebobs, angel hair pasta, and salmon tacos. I would recommend them all, especially the past and kebobs. They also had live music that evening, which was a great bonus! I just wish the music was turned up a little bit so we could hear it better. Overall, such a great first experience. The food was incredible, Eddie was fantastic, and the atmosphere was great. I will definitely be coming back and trying this place again!

We got there just as the front/bakery area was closing. This area was nicely shaded and cool. We were asked to move to the full restaurant, without air conditioning, hot and miserable. The staff was helpful but obviously uncomfortable, having to work under such conditions--it felt like 100* or higher. I've never been in such an absurd situation--leave comfortable, shaded, air conditioned room and into misery. I was so embarrassed to put my friends through this and hope the manager at Zov's can learn some common sense.

I've never put an order for a cake before so this experience is was all new to me. I went on their…read morewebsite to put in a request for a Napoleon birthday cake with a ganache top. They had a number which I called and the person on the other end gave a number which I could text more details about what I needed, for how many, my name, etc. Since they were driving and couldn't take my order at the moment I made sure to provide as much info and the time/day. I put the order 5 days before I said it needed it and they agreed it can be done by then. I thought it was easy and I just followed it up with the change of topping on the cake. I explicitly stated to text me if they needed anything else from me since I have never done this before. I probably should've followed them up, but I was busy that week. Since I didn't hear anything afterwards I thought I had secured my order. The day I come to pick up the cake, they tell me they don't have the order. The lady who I spoke to, who I'm assuming was on the phone when I initially called, is telling me I put a request not an order and that I didn't even provide my full name (not true, I did). I'm being told that I shouldve put down a deposit and have a contract with them for the cake. I wasn't provided with any contract or a Zelle username. If I had that information I would've absolutely done it. As a business you should provide the customer with that sort of information. I had no idea and I wasn't told that thru text. Should I have followed up? Absolutely, i know that now. There's no information on the website about a contract or deposit information. Only the phone number that I first called. So they should probably update that if they have so many orders and can't keep track with request. There was a lot of deflection from the lady when i tried to explain my grievance. No apology either for the confusion. I felt crazy because I thought I might've missed their messages. Nope nothing. Only the Zelle information after I had arrive there. Luckily, they had puff pastry ready and told me they could have the cake ready in 15 min, and I really needed the cake so I agree to still do business. When I got the cake it was still warm and they told me to freeze it in my refrigerator for it to set. 15 min to get to my place and the ganache has melted off the top and custard had already spilled out from the sides. I had a long drive afterwards and not even an insulated bag could save it. It did taste good, it's too bad about communication, and everything else.
