    Cannoli Cake with Mini Cannoli
    Cindy O.

    Buche de Noel - Tiramisu. OMG this was so good! Also.a nice size. Easily nine generous slices! It is suppose to serve six (small size). Beautiful to serve and so delicious to eat! I will never buy a Buche de Noel (Yule Log) anywhere else! Buche de Noel traditionally are rolled cakes and difficult to make. Many are made as a cake ysing a tube for the pan (not rolled). This one is the traditional rolled one! Rolled perfectly! The top was decorated with a Cappuccino straw and chocolate covered espresso beans! Can wait for our next Poulxs creation!

    The cake I ordered was amazing! It was too large for my wife and I so she shared the remaining with her colleagues. They loved it, finished it asking for more! The shop itself is quite aesthetic, with tables that have vibrant pink bench seats, perfect for a photo op. Just for context, my wife and I had our wedding in Italy so of course the millefoglie was our wedding cake. To celebrate our first wedding anniversary, I was looking for any Italian bakeries in the OC area that would make this but in a small size. Poul's bakery seemed like the only one and I am so glad I reached out to them. Ayliz, the owner, is super easy to work with and took my order with no problems. If you check out their instagram, @poulsbakeryoc, you will see their impressive 40+ inches millefoglie and of course all their other tasty treats. I highly recommend this place for the food and the vibes!

    Delicious Princess cake
    Tara K.

    The best Princess cake I've ever tried. Very moist and not too sweet. The homemade marzipan is so fresh and delicate in taste. This is the Mother's Day cake everybody loved. Very easy to order with friendly staff. Can't wait to try more cake as this one was delicious.

    Cute & somewhat romantic place and was recommended by a fellow yelpie. Their website states that they're open from 9am and they have a list of specialty cake to choice from. When I got there at 9:10am, in an industrial areal and parking is quite limited. They do have a patio which they transformed into a romantic sidewalk or patio seating area with an arch entrance. They're open BUT met the owner (lovely once you talked to her that is), and was informed that you have to call in to order the cake (A MUST) and some of the cakes that listed on line (they have NOT UPDATED THEIR WEBSITE for awhile, and I don't think they will). are no longer available and the store is open for pick up only - yup, and mine was one of them, the "carrot cake", which was a huge disappointment BUT since I heard about this place so I placed another one in person plus the cannolis...which is VERY deliciously good, perfectly tasty filling and topping, yum! They shop, per the owner is in transforming into a teatime experience place but at the present time, not yet. They don't have anything available or any display, all are make to order therefore, remember a must CALL AHEAD and see what availability. Mine was able to pick up in 2 hrs, since she asked for how many serving and recommended the size, and all the details in the cake. Is it cheap or reasonable pricing? I got a small cake & 6 cannolis for a total of $67. I would say it's on the high end side BUT WORTH IT. The cake was simply delicious and she makes the filling jam double plus it perfectly sweet, the cake is soft and tasty and it reminded me of the cake I had in Europe. All I can say is YUMMY!

    3. Tiramisu
    annie l.

    Sorry couldn't take the photo fast enough. The tiramisus was so delicious...and gets the highest compliment any Asian person can give. "It's really good...not too sweet!!" Poul's Bakery is my go to bakery...any time I need sweets I know that they will have something amazing for me to enjoy. Highly recommended.

    Swedish Princess Cake
    Danilo R.

    This place is definitely a MUST try! I ordered a Princess cake for my birthday and it seriously was THE best cake I have ever had! The outer shell is made of marzipan (almond paste) which has similar consistency as fondant, but has an almond like aftertaste which was amazing. The inside is a soft and spongy white cake with a layer of raspberry filling (which had no artificial taste at all) and a layer of vanilla. I can't stress enough how GOOD this cake was. I had to get one for my coworker's birthday as well. The whole office loved the cake and we definitely will purchase from Poul's bakery again.

    Recommend to pre-order. I did a walk-in just to check it out while I was had an appointment in the area! Luckily, there was some cookies and cannolis for purchase and made to order. Cannolis were AMAZING! This is one of my favorite pastries that is not easy to find and that is good and fresh! A Must try!

    Pouls very kindly made me a custom "deconstructed" croquembouche to fly with and assemble for our 25th wedding anniversary... it worked out great, looked lovely and tastes delicious. Thanks so much. Photo attached (my assembly a little precarious but it did the trick)

    Cannoli Cake.
    Thomas D.

    Amazing Cannoli Cake! I drove two hours round trip in the rain to pick up this cake and it did not disappoint. Two cakes and two pies at Christmas dinner, and the cannoli cake was devoured. The pies were untouched and the other cake had 1-2 pieces eaten. Cannoli Cake for the win!

    Kings Cake - Galette des Rois
    Shaun B.

    I have been coming to this bakery ever since I was a young kid, and it is still my favorite. Poul's is a staple in the OC area and makes delicious pastries. My faves are their Swedish Princess Cake, their Angel Cookies, and their King cake. We just ordered a King cake, and it was warm, flaky, with a rich almond paste, and so rich and tasty. The service here is always great, and they are super responsive. This bakery operates more with pre-order and then pick-up, which I like because everything is always fresh. Their store is super cute inside. Poul's will always be my go to for decadent desserts!

    The Wedding Cake of our Dreams! Poul's Bakery made our wedding cake dreams come true! I had my heart set on a traditional Italian Millefoglie, but after reaching out to countless bakeries, Ayliz, the owner of Pouls, was the only one willing to take on the challenge. Not only did they execute it flawlessly, but they also built the cake onsite in front of all our guests--an unforgettable experience! The Millefoglie was beyond perfect--delicate, crispy layers, luscious cream, fresh fruit and the most incredible flavor. I've received an overwhelming number of compliments, and I owe it all to the talented team at Pouls. They listened to exactly what I wanted, never said no, and made the entire process an absolute dream. If you're looking for a bakery that is skilled, dedicated, and truly passionate about their craft, Pouls is it!. They made my wedding day even more special with the most beautiful, delicious cake, and I couldn't be more grateful!

    Mini Cannolis - topped with chocolate sprinkles, white chocolate, chocolate, and almonds.
    Cienah R.

    I stumbled across this page on yelp as I was in search of some dessert to bring to a dinner party and let me tell you, Poul's Bakery did not disappoint! The employees helped me decide on just what I needed. I went with a dozen of the mini cannolis and they are piped to order, so it's guaranteed fresh! Not only did the cannolis taste AMAZING, they made sure they looked amazing and replaced one in the box that did not turn out how they wanted to. I even bought some Italian cookies and pastries for myself and you can tell everything here is made with love. My new favorite bakery in OC. I'll be back to try their cannoli cake! Highly recommend if you're looking a place to cater desserts for you, or even for treats for yourself. Place your order ahead of time if you are in a rush (since the cannolis are piped fresh).

    I needed a customized LV cake for my friend's birthday. Aylese and I communicated via phone and text to discuss the design. The cake came out beautifully and it tastes so good (although the birthday girl didn't want any one to touch it for a while because it was so beautiful) . Thank you Aylese!

    Best cake tasting experience!…read more We booked a $33 tasting experience a few months ago in preparation for our wedding. Website was very straightforward to book. You have 3 flavors and they give an extensive list of their flavors. We do love that the flavors are unique and very different from other bakeries around Orange County. We opted for the Red Velvet Cake Complimented with Cream Cheese Filling, Espresso Vanilla Cake Complimented with Tiramisu Filling, and Dark Rich Chocolate Fudge Cake Complimented with Chocolate Espresso Filling for our tasting. Upon arriving to our appointment, we found parking in front of the bakery. Its located right behind The Camp. The bakery showroom is very cute and cozy. We love the pink decor and the different cakes they have around the bakery to showcase the various types of wedding cake designs. We were greeted by Rodrick, who had graciously prepared our tastings in the form of mini cakes which we can take home to share the experience with our family. Rodrick was very informative on how the cakes are made and helped us understand how buttercream cakes are different than other types of cakes. The texture is light and not overly heavy like other cakes. The frosting is just the right amount of sweetness and not overly done. We also love how pet friendly the bakery is. We brought our little guy in a stroller and was greeted with so much love. We had the best cake tasting experience here and recommend it to any couples in the area who are looking for a wedding cake vendor.

It is cute inside, and the designs were still great but sadly, this bakery is not the same and not as delicious. We also asked if they could put buttercream on a sugar cut out cookie, as the old French's used to do that- their buttercream was delicious, and the lady working the register said "I' m sorry, we no longer do that." While I understand this bakery is (unfortunately) not the one that used to be there at this location, I don't understand why buttercream cannot be applied to a cookie.. we are at a bakery aren't we? Aren't bakeries supposed to have buttercream? Quite confusing that that customer service was not there either. A side of frosting to purchase could have been offered or just a small dollop could have been applied but apparently this bakery cannot accommodate a frosting request.
