A friend gifted me some pastries from here a few weeks ago and I decided to go myself and see what other goodies they had since the few items I tried were really good. There was a line out the door just after 10 am on a Saturday. Their display cases were fully stocked and the staff was working as quickly as they could to get through the line. The variety of items they have is actually crazy. They range from sweet to savory and it's hard not to get everything to try. The individual items ranged from $5 - $7 each and they also sold whole cakes and rolls that were about $30 or so. I got the tokyo roll slice, matcha tokyo roll slice, earl grey mousse cake slice, banana cream puff, strawberry shortcake slice, pizza brioche, egg bacon bread, sea salt bread, and ham & cheese croissant. My total came out to about $50 for 9 items.I took my pastries to go and have only had the banana cream puff so far but it was amazing. My boyfriend had the sea salt bread and really liked it as well. I'm super excited to try to the rest of the treats!

The matcha latte was really good! I am a fan of stronger matchas that are not too sweet, and this one hit the spot! All of the pastries were fresh and light, and the cream in the maritozzo and cruffin were refreshing and not too sweet! Loved the hot dog and cruffin croissant style pastries! So flakey!The line was out the door but moved really fast (waited 10-15 min max on a Sat at around noon).

Came here since I've had it saved for a while now, came around 11:00 ish and it was pretty full. I got a pizza, raspberry and a blueberry pastry, they were all so flavorful. To drink I got an iced vanilla drink it was ok. The service was great.The ambience is calm yet chatty with college students and people talking. Over all a great place if you are craving something sweet.

BAG OF CAKES is a fantastic bakery that serves great coffee.The line to order goes out the door. It passes by the display case full of vienoisserie and patisserie -- Korean-style.The EGG SALAD SANDWICH is large and delicious. The bread totally made this sandwich.The KOUIGN AMANN was crunchy, buttery and went absolutely fantastic with my CORTADO, which was also delicious, by the way.The PINK LEMONADE was not too syrupy.I think the BACON CHEESE SCONE might have been gluten free, but if I can't be certain just by tasting it, it must be pretty darned great.The HOTDOG CROISSANT was very filling and a hit with my party.Coffee beans are locally roasted (Orange County).There are plenty of indoor seating. Lots of people hanging out.

I absolutely love the variety of sweet and savory pastries here! My go-to items are always the green grape danish and the hot dog bread; both are consistently delicious (the hot dog bread dipped in the mustard sauce is soo good). It's been a little while since my last visit, so I'm not sure if the menu has changed, but I always look forward to what they have to offer. The cruffins are also a standout; they are the perfect balance of sweetness, though they can get a little messy (but that just adds to the fun!).

Lots of parking with an albertsons nearby. Usually has a line out the door. Inside has a few seating with some turnover and a bathroom. You walk down the line and order things then pay at the counter and sit. I went two times! One in the morning so they were fully stocked and surprisingly closer to closing they only had crossiants and cakes left so come early! Surprisingly their desserts are really good. The cream is good quality. The cream donut was okay, sort of like a bun with cream inside. I really enjoyed the salt bread, it was buttery and pulled apart well. But sadly the second time they didn't have it. The roll cake was surprisingly light and fluffy. Overall, I didn't expect the pastries to be so good because they're more aesthetic and the vast quantity. I tried the pistachio latte and it was ehh, the pistachio was an artifical syrup. The second time I tried the matcha, it was good in that it had a distinct matcha flavor and was creamy, but on the powdery side. Its premixed. I'd still recommend it as it wasn't too sweet. Top rec is for salt bread. Prepare to aim for no seating, but spots can turnover fast and inside is a pretty good place to talk and catch up ( spacious)

Delicious pastries and the matcha was made perfect ! Beautiful aesthetic, very busy, but the line goes pretty quick. Definitely give this place to try if you're in the area.

15-ish minute line on Saturday noon. Parking lot is pretty full and both indoor and outdoor seats were full. Don't think I'd be willing to wait 15 minutes to have this, but the pastries were pretty good. Cashier looked angry/annoyed (just in general) :( I hope you have a better day! Blue berry cream filled danish - our favorite, great distribution of the cream and pastry, you get a bit of cream and croissant each bite! Grapes danish - okay, but didn't like it as much as the Blue berry cream filled danish which set the expectations a bit high Tiramisu donut - strong coffee taste, high quality tiramisu donut and they don't cheap out on the ingredients

Pastries galore!I have a passion for consuming pastries and this place will feed that fantasy!There are so options to choose from, pictured are some of my favorites. They do sell out of popular items early in the day. I gave this place 4 stars because I do think some items such as the cakes and cake slices to be far too expensive.This place is clean and nice inside, and has a huge parking lot.
