I absolutely love this bakery in Vietnam town!! Stopped by with relatives on a weekend but it was…read morenot busy as others say it gets. The bakery displays were filled with delicious treats and we waited for fresh egg tarts and pandan waffles. Did I mention how good it smells in here!? Also, the auntie helping us was so sweet! Anyways, my family got durian egg tarts, Portuguese egg tarts, pandan cookies, Viet coffee cookies, and pandan waffles. Definitely a random assortment, but everything here is so good. The egg tarts were so flakey and the perfect sweetness. We all preferred the durian egg tarts!! I also liked the texture and taste of the cookies. I can't wait to come back here for more baked goods!

3.5 STARS ca…read morebakehouse is a to-go bakery that usually has a really long line on the weekends. i always order for pickup to avoid the line - just keep in mind that there are some items you have to order at least the day before. the bakery is located in very busy vietnam town, so it can be hard to get parking nearby sometimes. they have a really extensive menu with unique items! - egg tart (3.5/5): it had a great sweet and creamy custard, but it was doughy and soft instead of crispy and flaky. i didn't mind the texture too much because the flavor was there - kaya egg tart (4/5): very slight coconut flavor and overall very light. i liked this one more than the regular egg tart because the flavor was unique - banana mochi cake (4/5): this reminded me of a banana nut muffin but with mochi! it had a good fresh banana flavor. i loved the soft, chewy mochi texture, although it was almost too mushy. the nuts were a nice addition - guava mochi cake (4.5/5): one of my favorite items here! it had a tart and sweet guava filling, which balanced out the sweetness of the pastry and icing on top. it was still on the softer end, but i liked this one more than the banana mochi cake - kaya croissant (3/5): i thought the croissant would be soggy because of the filling, but it was actually kind of chewy and dry - maybe overbaked. i loved the yummy kaya filling, and it wasn't too sweet. i actually think it could've used more filling. it was very aromatic! - ube croissant (3.5/5): similar to the kaya croissant but with a sweet and slightly earthy ube filling instead. i enjoyed the filling because i could really taste the ube! like the other one, i thought the croissant was too dry and needed more filling - black sesame choux (0.5/5): probably the worst item i tried. the black sesame wasn't very sweet. there was barely any black sesame flavor, and it had a bit of a bitter aftertaste. also, the choux wasn't crunchy... it was soft and mushy, and it broke at the bottom where the filling was spilling out - durian choux (2.5/5): i loved the filling, which was at the perfect sweetness. it had a strong durian flavor, but the choux pastry itself had similar issues to the black sesame choux - pandan macadamia cookie (3.5/5): it had a very light pandan flavor, which i thought could've been stronger. i really love soft cookies, but this was weirdly soft and fell apart - almost like it wasn't fully baked. the macadamia nuts on top were a nice touch - black sesame cookie (4/5): tasted just like a peanut butter cookie! it had a strong nutty flavor, more like peanut butter than black sesame. my favorite part was the center, which had more of a sesame flavor because of the sesame seeds. just like the other cookie, it was very soft - honeycomb cake (3/5): this had a stronger pandan flavor than the cookie, which was great! i just didn't like the texture as much as other honeycomb cakes because it was less chewy and more mushy - pandan basque cheesecake (4.5/5): the BEST menu item i've tried, and i would come back just to get this. the cheesecake was very creamy and relatively dense, even for basque cheesecake. it had a slight pandan flavor, which could've been stronger, and caramelization on the sides. the green looked so pretty! i'm not really that picky with textures, but overall, everything here is just on the soft and sometimes mushy end, except for the croissants, which are weirdly dry. i actually enjoy a lot of the flavors, so i do see the appeal. i just don't think i would come back often.

Highly, highly recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth!…read more The Burnt Almonds are an absolute must-try and definitely my go-to favorite. You seriously can't go wrong with them. I also really loved the Whipped Cream Eclairs, so good! If you're craving for something not way too sweet, go for the Lemon Squares! The ambiance is great too, especially on weekdays when it's not too busy. Definitely worth stopping by if you're looking for a really good dessert spot. You won't be disappointed!

Upon entering, I was really impressed with how clean and nice the decor was. The tables and chairs were really upscaled and I felt like I was visiting a fancy french style cafe. There was even a small quiet room for those who needed to do some computer work and outdoor seating. The staff was really great and knowledgeable about all the products. The display case showed all of the pastries they had available. I went to the counter and ordered a little of everything, just so that I could get a good feel for it. The only table service is they bring the order to you. I had an Apple Turnover, Ube Sesame Tart, Lemon tart, and a Mini Almond Croissant. These were house made and really fresh and excellent. They serve various coffee and espressos, If you are looking for a nice relaxing cafe with great pastries-Marvel is the way to go!

We're on the hunt for our wedding cake, so the perfect opportunity to Marvel came up for my…read moregrandmother's 100th birthday. Sad to say, we were all very underwhelmed by the cake. It looked so pretty and we had high hopes. We took the option of adding on a fondant banner for $5 in the store and settled on berry and vanilla. Whoever was helping us was really not much help at all. I guess at least she was honest, but she didn't know what any of the cakes tasted like and if it was buttercream or whipped cream. The cake itself was dry and hard and the texture was oh so wrong. I don't know if it was old, frozen for too long, or some odd ingredients? But for $65 for a small 6", it was very disappointing. We also got the small bisou and a small napoleon. Better than the cake, but still just ok.

We went to Crossiante to celebrate my grandma's birthday with tea time! When I walked in, I was…read moresurprised to see how many people were still buying pastries in the afternoon. We checked in and were seated right away, and the setup was absolutely beautiful! They brought out our tea first, which we enjoyed while waiting for the pastry tower to arrive. Once it came out, they told us to eat from top to bottom, so that's exactly what we did! Each bite was delicious, everything tasted freshly baked and made, and I especially loved that the pastries weren't overly sweet. Although we enjoyed eating the tower from top to bottom, next time we would probably go from bottom to top since we like to save our sweets for last! Of course, we couldn't leave without getting more pastries to bring home. They have plenty of classic pastries, like croissants, along with more unique specialties, like their croissant cube. Everything looked and tasted so fresh, with that perfect flaky, crackly texture. The pastries are a little pricey for bakery items, but in my opinion, they're definitely worth it for the quality and freshness. Overall, we had such a lovely time celebrating my grandma's birthday here and would definitely come back for more pastries!

I have yet to try their croissants, but I plan to try them. Their hours are a little bit odd so make sure you check their website. I think they're closed Monday through Wednesday. It's a huge bummer because sometimes I have Mondays off and I wanted to get a cup of coffee and then I found out they were closed. There is not any place to sit, unfortunately otherwise I would come much more often but that's probably a good thing for my waistline ;) Parking is a little bit tight. There's more parking near the Goodwill and the back.

Stoped by for the first time. I happened to be picking up an order next door and saw their sign…read more I was warmly greeted by the owner when I walked in. He explained that they are a small batch bakery. All the pastries, behind the glass, looked amazing and were decorated so beautifully. I decided to get one Lemon-Raspberry Meringue Tart and one Mix Berry Vanilla Creme Tart. Mr. Manaois boxed up my selections and helped me at the register. They also gave many varieties of hot beverages, sweet and savory scones and sweet and savory croissants. There are also a lot of different pastries. This would be a great place to have a small relaxing breakfast. There are several places inside to enjoy your goodies. Both desserts, that I purchased, were so delicious. My favorite was the lemon raspberry meringue tart. The tartness of the lemon-raspberry filling worked so perfectly with the delicious sweet meringue. I will definitely come here again to try other items.

I dislike too sweet things and this was perfect with the cream. We also got some tarts this time as a gift and they looked lovely. I really love their simple individual packages without running into the risk of damaging v other cakes in the same box. Service was very very quick. It was a pick up spot so there is no ambience specifically here but simple order at the door type ambience.

I pre-ordered the limited edition Signature Mango Crepe Cake for my husband's birthday, and it…read moreexceeded all our expectations. The presentation was absolutely beautiful, making it the perfect centerpiece for the celebration. The cake itself was outstanding - light, delicate, and made with fresh, juicy mangoes. I especially loved the slight hint of tartness from the mangoes, which perfectly balanced the subtle sweetness of the cream. It was refreshing to enjoy a cake that wasn't overwhelmingly sugary and let the quality of the ingredients shine. This was my husband's very first crepe cake, and he absolutely loved it. In fact, our entire family enjoyed every bite. If you're looking for a dessert that's elegant, fresh, and not overly sweet, I highly recommend this one. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors, I'm especially excited to try the Black Sesame Crepe Cake next!

I love a good egg tart and malasada so was excited to try this spot since not many places offer…read morefresh malasadas! We came on a weekday around 11:30AM and quickly ordered. Each item was about $4-5 each. Service was fast and friendly Pastel de nata (4.5/5): I really enjoyed it, the crust was perfectly flaky and the egg filling was creamy! My only complaint is that there was a bit too much egg filling, compared to the crust, so the ratio was a bit off. I would come back for these! Malasadas (3/5): good sweetness but I thought the texture of it was overly thick and dense. I'm no expert but I prefer them soft and fluffy. I preferred the no filling to the sweet egg cream filling

The almond twist was ok but once again, not too tasty. I was in the bakery at 11am on Saturday morning to find no customers there. They used to be packed and I would be lucky to get any beignets. Dont want to ruin a business but they need to get their act together. It was $20 wasted. This picture was taken at 8:30pm. Normally it would have been gone in 30 minutes lol.

Most of the table seems to be filled, luckily there was a few open seating left. The menu is straightforward and simple. We ordered the Breakfast Sando and the Longanisa Sando. Let me tell you everything came out fresh and delicious. The sandwiches were still warm and the bread was so soft and fluffy. We were able to enjoy our sandwiches, relaxed, and not felt rushed. Love this place of establishment. If you are ever in the area do stop by and try this place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Since they are in downtown SJ, parking is indeed very difficult. We had to park on the street a few blocks away but my daughter said she was able to park behind the building for free but she's not so sure if it's really free because she was quick and was just picking up so the attendant let her go without paying. The cafe has a casual vibe decorated with Japanese toys and pop culture characters. Tables and chairs are limited but most of the diners are getting food for take away. For the 1st visit, we had the following: - Japanese Egg Salad Sando - Breakfast Sando - Longanisa Sando - Lox No Bagel with a side of Potato Tostones - Vietnamese Iced coffee For the 2nd visit, we had the following: - Fruit Sando - Japanese Egg Salad Sando - Lemongrass Chicken Salad Sando - Spam,Ham and Egg - Longanisa Sando - Ube Cream Scone - Vietnamese Iced coffee, their espresso machine was broken so no hot coffee on the menu for this visit Everything exceeded our expectations, everything was really good. I wasn't actually rooting for the Lemongrass Chicken Salad Sando because I thought the lemongrass will be overpowering but surprisingly, it was perfect in all aspects. The ube cream scone was also good but would probably want mine warmed up for next time. They are very busy, lines can become really long but it moves. Staff were very efficient considering how busy they can be. Definitely a must try when in San Jose. August 2026

I love how homey and welcoming this place feels the moment you step inside. The café is on the…read moresmaller side, but it has never felt overcrowded whenever I've visited. Customers usually come in, grab what they need, pay, and head out, which keeps things moving smoothly. One of the best things about this bakery is the incredible variety of pastries and breads. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, there's plenty to choose from: melon pan, loaf bread, dinner rolls, chow mein bread, spaghetti bread, sweet potato bread, crab and roe bread, tomato bread, apple pie, and so much more. Don't skip the refrigerated section either! They carry fruit sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, fried bread, donuts, somen noodles in a cup, and other delicious grab-and-go items. They also offer rice balls and drinks that can be ordered at the register. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. Small businesses like this deserve our support!

Clover Bakery & Cafe is a small Japanese-style bakery and café that feels like the kind of…read moreneighborhood spot you randomly discover and keep coming back to. We walked into a cozy, compact space with shelves filled with freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods, all arranged in a way that makes you want to browse slowly even though the shop is small. The atmosphere has that simple, welcoming feel reminiscent of the small bakeries you find throughout Japan, focusing more on quality and variety than on a large café setup. Seating is limited, so it is better suited for grabbing something to go rather than spending a long time inside. The biggest draw here is the combination of Japanese baked goods and savory items. The bakery selection offers a great mix of sweet and savory options, with classics like melon pan standing out for its crisp sugary topping and soft interior that stays light without being dry. The curry bread and croquette bread are also popular choices, both feeling comforting and freshly made rather than overly sweet or greasy. The bakery items are reasonably priced, which makes it easy to pick up multiple things without feeling like you are spending too much, and the variety means there is always something new to try. The onigiri selection is what really makes Clover stand out compared to a typical bakery. They offer a variety of rice balls with fillings like spicy tuna, tuna mayo, and unagi, making it a great option for a quick breakfast or light meal. The rice is well balanced and the fillings give each onigiri a different personality. The spicy tuna has a nice kick that comes through without overpowering the rice, while the unagi adds a sweeter, more savory flavor that works especially well with the slightly salty rice. The onigiri are a practical, satisfying choice for anyone looking for something more substantial than a pastry. Beyond the baked goods and onigiri, Clover also has drinks, sandwiches, and desserts including cakes and other pastries. The strawberry cake is a nice lighter dessert option, and the overall menu gives plenty of reasons to visit whether you are looking for breakfast, a snack, or something to bring home. The offerings feel thoughtfully selected, with enough variety to cover different cravings without making the menu feel scattered. Service is friendly and efficient, and the small size of the shop adds to the charm. Since it has become a popular local spot, some items can sell out during busy hours, so arriving earlier gives you the best selection. Parking can also be a little challenging during peak times, but the quick grab-and-go style makes the visit easy to manage. Clover Bakery & Cafe is a great stop for anyone who enjoys Japanese bakeries. The combination of fresh breads, affordable prices, and unique savory options like onigiri makes it feel different from a standard bakery. It is the type of place where it is worth picking up a few items and trying a mix of everything, leaving you with the sense that you have found a little neighborhood gem that delivers on both quality and variety.

Finding parking isn't difficult…read morebut might take a minute on busy days, as it shares a parking lot with the rest of a popular plaza. The store itself is easy to find as well, with a clear label outside. Walking in, it looks half-closed--their cakes are all stored in a large refrigerator, with nothing in the case on the counter. There is a sign proclaiming "takeout only" in slight disarray, and the seating is pushed to the side. That said, the service is friendly and the employees are quick to help you and show you what they have in stock for takeout. I ordered the 4" Berry Berry Light Cake for a birthday, and they were able to write a birthday message on the cake board, which I really appreciated. The cake also tasted very light and the sweetness was subtle, which I really enjoyed. The berry flavor in the sponge was a little too subtle, though. My main concern is that the cake does not fully resemble the picture they advertised online. It is missing the freeze-dried berries on top, and the berry glaze did not reach as far down the cake as was shown in the photo. Because the berry glaze is the main source of the berry flavor, this was a little disappointing. Also, the cake was not finished when I came to pick up the cake (and I was ~5 minutes late). I'm uncertain if this is for freshness or if there is another reason. Overall, I like the spot for the fresh and light cake. It's pleasantly unique compared to your standard sheet cake, and everything is rather cute. However, it may be a better idea to buy the cakes in-person to be 100% sure of what it will look like, though daily stock is definitely more limited than if you place an order online. I hope they reopen their indoor seating soon.
