    My favorite cake from Vans is the pandan coconut cake. It was good, but I think the one in San Jose is better. But Luckily they have just a slice! They have many different items here and many snacks. I wanted to get more things but didn't need that much food. Good little bakery!

    Mocha cake

    We wanted to get my mom a mocha cake for her birthday so she requested a cake from Van's Bakery. This place is nostalgic because growing up my parents would get me a coconut pandan cake from here. The cakes are always moist, fresh, and delicious. As always the mocha cake I got for my mom didn't disappoint! We like that the cake was not overly sweet. Service was fast, the workers are all very nice and helpful. Ambiance is good, pick out your cake, bakery goods, or other delicious things they sell and pay for it at the counter. Definitely recommend if you want a different type of cake.

    Van's Bakery Walking into this bakery feels like stepping into a world full of pastries and sweets , there's so much to choose from. I usually get coffee, bánh lọt with coconut milk, and different pastries. The desserts are enjoyable and not overly sweet , the flavors are well balanced. The bakery is spacious and clean. The older ladies who work here are very friendly, warm, and welcoming. One big plus is that they don't charge for plastic bags. Even though nowadays, wherever you go, you're charged a bag fee, which honestly feels unreasonable. Each location has plenty of parking, making it very easy to park. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

    We love Van's Bakery! No frills, no AC, no nice decor, but tons of fun goodies and beautiful and tasty cakes! Don't sleep on their blended drinks either! I personally really enjoy their soursop smoothie and pennywort with mung bean on a warm day. I highly recommend their durian or pandan cakes, but not the mocha one. They mentioned their mocha is a top seller, but the two times I've gotten it, it was dry.

    I called in the morning to customize my Pandan cake and it was ready by 2pm! Flavor is very subtle and light, which I love. I didn't want to regular green so I requested pink and white! So cute and very impressed with their service and attention to detail! Absolutely perfect and gorgeous, just how I envisioned it. Cake was so soft, moist and the perfect balance of light and airy. Their cakes are really popular because it's not too sweet! Vietnamese folks love it. Highly recommend to try it out. They also have jello cakes, wedding cakes, holiday cakes, fruit cakes, coffee cakes, durian cakes etc! Swing by and check them out!

    The service is very quick, and the ladies working here are friendly. Cakes are pretty expensive now.. it was $50 for a fruit cake tart. The cake was very fresh and delicious as usual. We needed an emergency dessert, so this place is perfect and reliable for a quick stop. Parking here in this lot is absolutely insane....... But if you can find a spot far away and walk, it's worth it. They always have various sizes and flavors of cakes available. No pre-order needed. I brought it to a thanksgiving dinner. Really tasty cake with plentiful fruits!

    The store is well played out as you enter you get a display of cakes, as you go towards the cashier you get to other pastries and macaroons. The team there was friendly and willing to help.

    Fresh Fruit Tartlet
    Roel C.

    Ayooooo!!!! Back at it again, if you are looking for an alternative to a birthday cake you need to get this Asian Fresh Fruit Tart. It had a flaky puff pastry base filled with a delicious vanilla pastry cream and fresh whipped cream with an assortment of fresh fruit. I got the 10" that was around $40. The bakery also had an assortment of different asian birthday cakes. Sorry didn't get to take photos as i was in a rush. There was a huge parking lot, cards are accepted and staff were so friendly and nice. Give them a try if you are in the area, I just walked in without a pre order.

    10 inch pastry tart cake is $ 35, the best here 07.09.24

    Say no more!!! The fruit pastry tart @ Vans Bakery is to Die For!!! It's delicious, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it. All the older parents, grandparents and even youngsters love it. It's a fruit tart but the layers inside the tart isn't a cake. It's a crispy flakey pastry along with custard filled. Not sweet at all. The Fruits are fresh. High recommend finish the cake same day or the pastry can get a bit soggy overnight. The service is great and the lady associate is good at writing the HBD greetings on the clear strip to place on top of the fruit tart. The bakery is big and have a lot of other type of Vietnamese known cakes and desserts. It looks like any ordinary Vietnamese Vans bakery. Filled with so much Asian Vietnamese sweets, goodies and desserts. Parking is easy to find. Located in a strip of shopping businesses such as fast food to go, a few doors down from Cococane the sugarcane pressed juice bar and next to Boulangerie Bakery. Definitely recommended for any occasions to enjoy. They give you a complimentary plastic cake cutter/server. FYI

    Fresh strawberry n whipping cream birthday cake
    Helena L.

    Ordered an amazing birthday cake for my mom' 94th birthday was very fresh strawberry & whipping cream. Service was difficult at times as they don't speak English well. Will be happy to return in the future, as we live 40 miles away.

    Please don't skimp on the fillings!!

    Fair prices for cakes. I am not sure what different cultures call the types of cakes they sell…read morehere. In Mexican culture we call them "pastel de mil hojas" which translates to a thousand sheet cake. I am a huuuuge fan of thousand sheet cake. After my husband birthday cake was a bust, we came here and were so glad we did. This is truly one of the best thousand sheet cakes we've ever had. We were taken a little back by what it looked like inside. There are lots of plants and we didn't seen any display of cakes. There was a family just standing there and we saw an older woman cutting strawberries. We were helped and were able to pay with a credit card. We ordered the 1/4 sheet cake and paid $45 which is more than fair. The cake is layered with cake, the thousand sheets, whipped topping, and a variety of fresh fruit. It is honestly so delicious and looks beautiful. They can also add a "happy birthday" for you if you'd like. The cake came in a box and with a disposable/plastic cake knife. Overall, I am super happy with my purchase and will return!

I will say that this place has a great fruit cake with a crispy delicious middle layer along with a vanilla fluffy layer. Its the delicious fruit cake that one would get at that other place inside a little strip mall in santa ana. Do I like this one better, you bet!!! Pro tip: Their storefront looks like a flower shop between the corner bakery and grocery store. Great job cake lady!

They sell by 75 cents each which is good. Parking a little tight but if you go on weekday it's not too bad. The lady who greeted me wasn't too friendly she literally started me down and looked like she just wanted to rush me out. Also guys they take cash only but if card use they charge $1 fee. So she took my order and went next door to charge my card but I didn't know next door was a coffee place guess they link together. Funny thing was she didn't smile and the man who came after me she greeted him with a smile because they are of the same ethnicity. Language wasn't an issue here but to stare at customer like that I'm not coming back there ever again. Even though the cream puffs were so good very soft and not too sweet. I always go by first experience and impression. I will be looking forward other bakery's in Garden Grove.

Their claim to fame, the strawberry croissants, taste as spectacular, light, crispy, airy, and deliciously subtle and fruity as much as the original location. The main problem is they definitely seem to have way less stock on hand, and things can sell out fast. I had to come back another day for my favorite item of theirs, the rusk - extremely light and crunchy bites of buttery sugared mini toast. I buy a bunch of these to take home as souvenirs, as the strawberry croissants obviously need to be eaten ASAP. Their employees were pretty friendly and helpful. I love that they carry bulk platters of their strawberry croissant and have them displayed right as you enter. They also have various other desserts and pastries, even some savory sandwiches and sushi, packaged goods, and coffee. I'm here pretty much just for their strawberry croissants and rusk, though their other items seem nice if you want goods for a convenient picnic.
