BF Bakery & Cafe

BF Bakery & Café is located inside of the Irvine 99 Ranch Market. As you enter the store, it's on the far left corner.This is a pay and go shop with no nearby seating. Baked goods are displayed in cases directly across from the cashier and refrigerated pastry case. The pastry case has a nice selection of whole cakes available for purchase. The baked goods case has a good variety of treats in puff pastry or buns. Today I tried the curry chicken pastry and a couple of taro pastry balls. The taro pastry has a nice flakey exterior with a generous taro filling. The curry chicken pastry was my favorite. The delicate puff pastry was light yet flaky and was stuffed with a very good filling to pastry ratio. So pleased that they do not skimp on the protein!There were a couple of ladies working the counter area and both were friendly and patiently answered my questions. Looking forward to coming back again soon to enjoy some of their other savory offerings.

First time I visited this place. It was OMG moment. There are lots of Asian bakery in OC and I love them all. This place is one of my favorite one because store is clean, organized, friendly cashier, great taste and most of all the best prices! (Oh, I bought 5 and they gave me 6th FREE. )If you love Asian bread, you must try this place once!!

For your next last minute birthday cake, get one here. BF is a vibe. Located inside 99 Ranch on the left when you enter, this hidden gem has a lot of pastries similar to what you find with 85C, including 8-9 inch cakes that are pretty good. So I knew they do a good job with cakes because I had cakes from here awhile back, before everything became modernized in 99 Ranch and it was great. Nowadays, it's just as good as I remember it. So I ordered a full taro cake, made early in the morning and out on display in full form to just purchase and take home, and later at my party it was a huge hit. It was sweet but not overwhelmingly so as with most Asian pastries, the bread was moist and fresh, and the layers had a good mix of bread on the top and bottom layer, while the rich taro layer lies in the middle. Price-wise, I thought it was really good. $22 for a high quality cake that was universally popular at the party is very good. Service was very good here, something that is also great here. They package your cake in a beautiful box, and offer free candles, forks, and plates for your party. Definitely a highlight that would make your day better.

The taro cake was decorated beautifully. The price was decent at $24.99 for an 8 inch cake. My family enjoyed the taro filling and the fact that the cake wasn't overly sweet. The taro was not very smooth, but the flavor was good. The buttercream was a bit too overwhelmingly oily for my mom and I. But overall, the cake was good quality, tasted good, and the price was reasonable.

The bakery shop is located inside the 99 ranch grocery store, and right in the front corner next to the cashiers, plenty choices of bakery and limited kinds of cakes, certain items are on sale daily.

Bought a mango mousse cake for my mom's birthday and she loved it. It tasted amazing!

tons of favor and cake to choose from. I like the bakery they have, bread is good but cake is ok. I ordered Taro cake from here. they have real taro in the cake which is great but it frozen. I try to cut it during our friend birthday and so was so hard i can even cut it with regular knife. favor was ok. I would come back for bread though it was good

This bakery inside the 99 Ranch Super Market is a "hidden" gem! I used to go to the surrounding bakeries in the plaza for cakes but I no longer ventured outside after I discovered it. They have a variety of baked goods, from croissants to log cakes to fruity birthday cakes! I've bought some pre-made birthday cakes here and I have never been disappointed. They are moist and fresh, not too sweet (which is something I prefer). The prices for the cakes are decent. The one I bought today is a circular 8 inch "macaroon fruity cake" at $25.00. Besides the birthday cakes, I also have had their mini "yellow" cheese cakes and I love them! They are fluffy and again not too sweet. Now let's talk about customer service. Linda was the baker who helped me today. Her friendly and helpful nature put me at ease! She helped me pick out a cake for my mom and offered to write "happy birthday" on a separate white chocolate sign for me to place it on the cake. She also asked if I needed paper plates. You hardly get this kind of good customer service, even more so at an Asian business. Anyway, thanks Linda. My mom loves her cake and that makes me happy.

We love their various small breads and cake rolls! They are really moist, delicious, and not too sweet. The small breads vary in price from $2 to $3 and are always "buy 5 get 1 free" (you can mix and match, and you get the cheapest bread on your tray for free). The cake rolls are $13-16, but various flavors go on sale fairly often. The bakery lady is always really nice and friendly on the multiple occasions we have been there.

One would deal with salaried employees who are not well managed by owner. Profit is not her core concern, and hence customer's needs are not neither. And they appear to be under staffed. It was supposed to be open till 9pm but we were unable to find anyone when we arrived by 8:40pm. We went back the next morning to order some birthday cakes, but was told the chef would not have time to write "happy birthday" on the cakes if we need them by noon time next day because the chef will be off... Oh mine, they don't have enough staff to cover 7 days a week per their published schedule...
