    Birthday Cake

    Amazing Mexican Bakery I totally recommend it. The service is amazing and it was easy to order. The bread and flavor of the bread was delicious.

    Mexican bread & pastries

    Nice quaint shop. They're always super friendly and happy you came in. The bread is such a variety. From sweet to savory. Also cafe de olla. Cakes are made here also as well as gelatin. The bread stays fresh for a few days. That's what I love about it, it doesn't get hard fast. Even tho there's not much time to have any leftovers.

    Local Panaderia, Mexican bakery with classic Mexican sweet breads, cakes, and desserts. You walk in and racks of fresh baked Concha and Bolio waiting for you to grab them. The air is filled with that distinct baked goods smell but with cinnamon mixed in making it identifiable as Mexican even with your eyes closed. They have a unique drink here called a Champurrado. It's a very thick Mexican hot-chocolate made with cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and Mexican chocolate. Worth trying as its a pretty hard to find drink and has cool historical origins, in my romanticized imagination this is a drink that fills ancient Aztec and Maya with warmth and fire before a big battle or traditional ritual. Pan Dulces: Concha had that nice crispy cookie-like top layer, it was fresh and not old, crispy layer stays stuck on and doesn't collapse off after one bite. I saw the bolio mentioned in a review, its like a plain mexican french-bread. Interesting dipped in the champurrado and I made a ham, egg, cheese mini sandwich at home with it and it was pretty good. If you are not a Spanish speaker a lot of the food is self-serve. If you are looking for anything in particular its easy to just show an image on your phone or type it out in Spanish and they can help you. Easier payment process if you just bring cash.

    It's been a few years since I've been back. There is nothing too much to update, but it is still a bit stale . People are unattentive, and the location still seems to be in disarray. Beyond that, bread is good quality.

    A beautiful fluffy fresh bolio

    Best bolios in town, maybe in all of OC. I know that's a bold statement given all of the Mexican baker's in the area. But, I have been in search of the perfect Bolio and have found it. Rubens bakery on Harbor Blvd in Fullerton has the biggest, freshest bolios I've ever had. Perfect for tortas or just with a cup of Abuelitas Mexican hot chocolate. It's a must try. You won't regret it.

    Horrible blending looks like someone bite into it. This picture was taken at the bakery before I took it.

    My mom has always came here for cakes, so she got my babyshower cake here. Just that the owner of the bakery wife always seems to have an issue with us or I don't know if she's naturally rude. When I went to pick up my cake this weekend she was absolutely so rude!! I ask for a cake board box, she refused to give me one she said " we don't give those here" when I have came with my mom the lady's husband has always given us the cake in board box. Now for what the price of the cake it was not worth it, the blending was horrible, the cake was very dry and the bread of the cake taste burnt. Really disappointed definitely won't be going back due too HORRIBLE SERVICE and Quality

    Couldn't resist biting it totally forgot to take a pic before

    Favorite salt bread bakery! I prefer the savory items to sweet. What I've tried so far over…read moremultiple visits: - Everything Salt & Butter Roll 5/5 - prefer this one to the original salt roll since the seasoning adds a little more flavor - Cookie Salt & Butter Roll 4/5 - great if you want one with a touch of sweetness - Mentai Salt & Butter Roll 3/5 - personally not a huge fan of mentai since I find it a little too fishy - Spicy Curry Pan 5/5 - SOOOO GOOD highly recommend this! It is a little spicier than expected. I also want to try the regular Curry Pan - Oyaki Pork Shumai 4/5 - good and tastes like shumai but not a standout for me to get again - Fish Filet Panini 5/5 - surprisingly SO GOOD! The employee recommended it and I was hesitant but it ended up being one of my favorites. Kinda like the McDonalds fish filet sandwich with the tartar sauce but obviously better - Japanini 4/5 - solid, nice basil pesto tomato combo but not a standout for me to get again - Banana Matcha latte 4/5 - solid but personally prefer the one at Kei cafe more TLDR: favorites are Everything Salt & Butter Roll, Spicy Curry Pan, and Fish Filet Panini

The emoji breads tempted us with their cuteness, but we were very curious about the Oyaki Mentai Caviar's combination of spicy cod roe and mochi. To be safe, we also got the Mentai Salt & Butter Roll. While we liked the Roll and its crunchy outside/soft inside, we actually loved the Oyaki. The mochi isn't sweet at all, just nicely chewy. Plus, whereas the Roll only had a little bit of spicy cod roe inside, the Oyaki was packed! I say this a lot, but truly, everything looked good. I hope to come back and try their Paninis and Danishes. If they're anything like the Oyaki, they'll be distinct, delicious, and downright delightful.

For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

The chocolate cheesecake castella cake was super moist, the custard bread had the perfect balance of sweetness, soft and fluffy with just the right amount of filling. The almond bread was tasty too, with raisins mixed in for extra texture. One thing to note for anyone with nut allergies: although the ingredient label only listed almonds, there seemed to be other nuts present as we experienced an allergic reaction despite not being allergic to almonds.

I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any. Other bakeries usually provide paper plates, so it was disappointing as well.
