Queen Isabellas Bakery

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.

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.

Whoever came up with the idea of putting ice cream and a fresh concha together deserves a raise.

Usually parking here isn't too bad if you're staying for less than an hour and easy to walk over to the dessert shop. Baked Banhs is located in the 4th street food market, one of the first shops you'll see if you're coming from the parking lot. Note the hours before you come (for instance, they're closed on Sundays and Mondays). And note that they seem to usually sell out of certain items by the days end. We've tried a number of different items here now including four of their canelés and their basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was solid. But we really loved their canelés. They are soft/moist on the inside with a nice crunch. And the different flavors really come through. Our favorite is the black sesame - not only is there black sesame peppered on the top but also in the center with a nice black sesame cream. It's so good and delicious. Four canelés cost $16 and thought they were well worth the price. Again, it's so sad to hear that Baked Banhs is closing soon so if you're a fan of canelés or other desserts, recommended to come sooner than later to try this out! We really hope they reopen again elsewhere or do a lot of pop-ups soon.

Wasn't planning on ordering their signature drink (cookie butter latte) but so glad I did. When I took the first sip, I was immediately amazed by how delicious the drink was. I am normally not a coffee person, but will definitely come back and drag my friends here for it. Cinnamon rolls were sooo yummy too. Loved how soft and gooey the rolls were even after 4 hours of purchase. Frosting wasn't too thick or sweet, which is what I prefer. My friend and I ordered: 1) Fruity Pebble 2) Classic/Original 3) Banana Pudding 4) Cookie Butter Fruity Pebble: wanted to try because seemed like a customer favorite but it did not amaze us. Seemed like it was lacking an ingredient to merge both the cinnamon and fruity pebble flavors together. Would not purchase again. Classic/Original: Can't beat a basic cinnamon roll. Classic, yummy, would order if I wasn't craving other flavors. Cookie Butter: yummier than I expected. Ingredients worked well together. When I took the first bite, similar to the drink, I was amazed. Not sure if I can finish a whole cinnamon roll of this flavor in one day, but still would reorder. Bananan Pudding: Hands down my favorite roll out of the ones tried so far. The banana didn't overpower the cinnamon too much and there were actual banana chunks inside the roll. Highly recommend trying this one!

I think they only have standard hot coffee but a variety of icy blended coffees and I chose a blended vanilla latte. I sat at the counter with my donuts and my blended coffee was brought to me a couple minutes later. My swirly donut was plump and fresh. My old-fashioned passed muster with flying colors - it was fresh and flawlessly made.

Once inside, you find a very well organized and very well developed café. They have really nice two people booths along one wall. Plus, they have tables for larger groups sprinkled throughout the restaurant. It's really a great place to sit back and enjoy a drink, a meal, and a conversation with anybody you go in there with. In terms of food, they have a wide spanning menu. They have very good breakfast items from all of the expected things you would expect: quiches, eggs, and all of that kind of stuff. Plus, they have a really nice menu of salads, as well. They also have a number of other things thrown in there, a lot of paninis, a bunch of sandwiches, and a little bit of everything else. It's really hard not to find something that you'll really enjoy at this café. The staff here is all super nice. And, they're happy to help you out with anything that you may need The way this café works is that you walk inside, go up to the front counter, place your order, and you're set to go. You can do this a couple of ways: you can grab one of their physical menus and choose what you want or you can also scan the QR code at each table and then you can look at their menu via your phone. One way or the other, you could find something you like and order. Overall, this is a really great place to enjoy a drink or a meal in Orange.

Staff are friendly and efficient. I enjoyed both my drink and food. It was a nice size slice of quiche, and there were even beets in my side salad. The menu's pretty extensive. They offer breakfast all day long, along with paninis, sandwiches, salads, and a selection of desserts. Yes, they sell gelato. There's also a refrigerator stocked with bottled water and sodas.
