Paderia Bakehouse

Cute shop decorated for the Chinese new year! Croissants were some of the best I ever had, the caramelized bits melt in your mouth. Triple Chocolate cookie was my second favorite. Chocolate chip with sea salt was a solid ok. Malasada was soft and delicious. Vietnamese ice coffee was delicious. Service was sufficient.

Paderia Bakehouse is a modern and trendy bakery with locations in Fountain Valley, Irvine, and Santa Monica. They are known for the egg tarts and also offer coffee, tea, and other drinks.We ordered the portuguese egg tarts, malasadas, and sea salt chocolate chip cookies. The egg tarts were deliciously flakey with lots of layers, the cookies were soft and huge, and the malasadas were just okay and I thought they could've had more filling. We popped them into the oven to warm them up and I think it made the pastries more tasty.They are "open until sold out" so they will continue selling their products until they are all gone. When we got here at around 2pm a lot of their items were already sold out so if you want them fresh and have more options I'd recommend coming earlier.

Paderia is the place to go if you want delicious sweet treats. The inside is beautifully modern and clean with the front display showing their delicious offerings. There is only a few bar seats inside so I would say this is definitely a grab and go spot. The cookies are my favorite item to get here; they are large New York style cookies that have that crisp on the outside but still are moist and chewy in the inside; the best of both worlds! There are seasonal flavors so I tried the blackberry corn and it was delicious- not too sweet but still had that savory corn flavor and tart blackberries between each bite. You can't go wrong with the other classic cookie flavors. The Portuguese egg tarts are heavenly. The crust is so flaky and buttery, and paired with the custardy filling is perfection. The malasadas remind me of the ones I had in Hawaii and give me that satisfaction here in the States; never oily and the filling flavors are delicious and not overly artificial tasting. The tiramisu and the banana pudding are also one of the desserts I often get and both are deliciously decadent and keep well in the fridge! The drinks here aren't my favorite as they are either too watery or way too sweet in my opinion. Some people may complain about the prices but I think they're fair considering how the pastries seem made in house. Paderia is the place I go to if I want a sweet treat for myself or to a gathering since I know it will be a crowd pleaser.

Raspberry matcha latte - raspberry purée is perfectly sweetened, with none of the artificial aftertaste. matcha is bold and robust, balancing the sweetness well. loved how the chia seeds add a nice texture to drink. Staff friendly and quick. Came at 1PM on a Sunday and they were out of majority of their pastries and specialty drinks, just had the OG lattes, egg tarts, and cookies available.

I want to say it's been over a year I've visited Paderia Bakery since it's not local to mee. Somewhat glad it ain't cause omg I'd be here almost everyday and become fatter than i am already. LolI had the Honor to be the 1st of idk handfuls to try Paderia Bakery new item Croissant b4 it gets release to the Public. Launching date 10.26 ~ Croissant is huge buttery crispy flaky goodness. I'd be back to grab this especially if you love croissants.~ Pistachio Latte is good. Has the crunchy pistachio nut bits mixed into the drink. ~ Ube coconut Latte is really good. A new fav drink of mine here. The coconut is subtle and not strong at all along w the ube. Definitely and highly recommended. Their caffeine is legit n has a kick to it. Got both drinks half 50% sweetness and it's still sweet. ~ Banana pudding is scrumptious yummy. Filled w a good amount of banana along w the sweetness fluffy pudding. Is on the sweeter side dessert. Service is always great here and associate is really friendly and offers good advice on what drinks to choose from.Still the nice bakery filled w greenery. Love the vibe of the gold touch of the decor. Very modern and classy.

Ensaymada- buttery sweet- soft and warm- tastyPlain Malasada- warm and fluffy- lightly sweetSea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie- sea salt is very concentrated and salty- just okayCinnamon Sugar Malasada- warm and fluffy- good amount of cinnamon sugar

Horrible experience. Came here to grab a box of treats for a friend who just gave birth. The systems POS system was down and they refused to accept cash. We were turned away after I drove 25mins out of the way. I blame management for not having a proper plan B

I'm one of the few people who can appreciate a simple cookie for $6 but I'd say the cookies here might not be worth the price. Don't get me wrong, these cookies are bomb dot com but there are a couple things that were subpar on my last visit. Customer service here was meh, the girl that was helping me was not very friendly. I mean I don't need much, but a simple "hey happy new year how can I be of service to you today" with a little smile goes a long way. LMAO. It was around 3pm and they've already ran out of the malasadas and ensaymada . But I always go for the peanut butter chip cookie any day. And it never disappoints. EXCEPT that she didn't even bother to ask if I wanted it to be warmed up and literally just gave me the cookie in a napkin. Their hours are weird too, they close at like 2:30pm on weekdays, like who can afford to battle traffic to eat overpriced cookies on their lunch break?!! Decor is cute, they have ~5 bar stools for you to sit on while waiting. Parking is usually ok.

I came here after my Pilates class in the morning and it wasn't too busy. I ordered their iced vanilla latte and malasada with vanilla filling and they didn't disappoint. The vanilla latte had the perfect amount of sweetness to balance out the bitterness of the coffee. I've never tried a malasada before coming here but it's essentially a Portuguese doughnut with filling. The vanilla filling wasn't too sweet either which was nice. The barista was quick in preparing my order since it wasn't too busy that day. The inside is small but spacious with some stool seating near the windows at the entrance.

The thing that I appreciate the most is when I walk into an establishment and people actually greet me. Good job Paderia. The space was super small but functional. We were able to sit inside and enjoy our matcha and goodies. We enjoyed everything we've ordered. We'll be back.
