    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.

    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!

    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

    Tomorrow I'm about to turn 21, and I need a birthday cake to celebrate that day. I walked in here today, and saw that there were flan and jello pandan cakes. The cakes are good, but I don't know what to get so I left. My parents encouraged me to get one from this location and I decided to do so. I'm hoping to get something that can remind me of childhood.

    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

    Best cake ever!!…read more This bakery sells a cake with a layer of flaky puff pastry. It is so unique and special. There is ALOT of strawberries. Cathy bakery in Monterey Park sells a puff pastry cake, but they don't include strawberries. This one is so much better. Every time I get cake from here it is a big hit. HAPPY CAKING!!

It seems a bit messy, or maybe they need a bigger shop. Step further into the shop and there it is, the case of cakes! The case itself is old and the window to view the cakes is not clear, seems foggy. Hard to see the cakes. But with all the hype about this bakery on social media, I had to try it The Fruit Cakes are unique with fresh fruit not glazed or jam. Big bite size strawberries, mango, kiwi, grapes, pineapple with a thin layer of sponge cake, layers of crunchy phyllo and whipped cream. The smallest cake is a 1/4 sheet which cost $45. With all the fruit on top, it made it challenging to slice nice looking dessert slices. Super yummy, I can understand why people are making reels about this place on social media. It's a winner. Friendly service, accommodating and responsive to our needs. We requested no kiwi due to one allergy to it and they make it within 10 minutes.

I do have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of the baked goods but it's more of a personal preference. I would recommend the house special which has great durian flavor and a good variety of topping (love the toasted peanuts and jelly). Personally, I'm not a fan of the water chestnuts but they can always take it out for you. I also love the soy pudding which is both delicate and flavorful (reminds me of a really good douhua). One advice is to get the ice on the side if you're taking it out.

The inside isn't too fancy but it's nice and clean with maybe 2 or 3 tables and good AC inside. I got the C2. CT Thai with regular ice, less sweet. I tend to like things on the sweeter side so I think I'd stick with regular sweet next time. It was a perfect treat to cool down with, crunchy ice mixed in with the various jellies and fruits - though I will say it was a little less colorful and more jelly/ice than jackfruit/longan/pomegranate than I'd like for the price. Overall a decent quick stop for che!

I stopped in because it's located near a restaurant we frequently visit. The owner was very friendly and proudly shared their history, fan mail, and reputation, which made me excited to try the food. I ended up buying almost one of everything. Unfortunately, the pâté chaud was already sold out by noon, which was actually the item I was most interested in trying. As for the items I did try, the durian bánh pía was overly soft and mushy for my taste. The bánh tiêu was just average and didn't stand out. The chè desserts tasted homemade, which some people may appreciate, but I found them fairly basic and not particularly memorable. The bánh trung thu was decent, but not something I would go out of my way to purchase again. Perhaps these products are exceptional compared to what is available where the bakery originated, but being in Orange County, the competition is extremely strong and there are many outstanding Vietnamese bakeries and dessert shops. I genuinely wanted to like this place and support them, especially after spending quite a bit and trying a wide variety of items, but overall I left disappointed. I may return one day to try the pâté chaud, since that was unavailable during my visit, but based on what I sampled, I don't see myself becoming a regular customer.
