Viktor Bene's Bakery

If you have never had a Viktor Benes cake... you must go down to the Monarch Beach location. They made a special strawberry shortcake for me for my birthday. It was so fresh and so delicious. my guilty pleasure... They also make amazing pastries and cookies that melt in your mouth. It's my favorite bakery! Curse you Victor Benne for being so delicious... you're the reason I'm on the treadmill five days a week...

Visiting Laguna on Friday and decided to buy the cookies I always buy from the Encino location and let me tell you, this cookie was absolutely GARBAGE! The flavor was disgusting, you need to try what you make! This cookie at the Encino location is amazing.

I have had two cakes from here. One was a red velvet which was absolutely NOT a red velvet. It was full of butter cream. So I recommend not to get red velvet here. The second cake was a lot better, a princess cake. Less butter cream thank god. Tasty marzipan. Still not the original Swedish version but MUCH better than the red velvet. Not sure if I'll return. I hear they're good at making Black Forest cakes. So I'll probably give that a try next time.

GRATEFUL For Viktor Benes Bakery in Dana Point. Each visit I have with Viktor Benes Bakery always come with smilies. Especially with the cake I recently ordered from here. THIS is the bakery of my choice. All the desserts are fresh and even look almost too perfect to eat. I am vegan and have not been able to personally try the desserts but Viktor Benes Bakery has every person attending our parties SO HAPPY. These desserts are spoken about even weeks later. Every person asking me again and again and again where this magical bakery is at.

The chocolate-rich creamy and full of flavor. The raspberry filling incredible, best I've ever had. Truly ingredients from European markets. This is my go to place for special occasions. Would love a rum ball right now!!

The cakes here are amazing. I love the strawberry shortcake. Do not pass them up. I am serious, do not go through your life with out trying the strawberry shortcake. Great service, top notch product and great friendly management/ staff.

Make the best poppy seed loaf. A little pricy @ $15.00 but, when just baked, delicious! They make very good Challah bread too. I'm really happy that Victor Benes is still a part of this Gelson's store.

Super mediocre pastries. No gluten free options despite being advertised. Inside a grocery store.

The cake made by this bakery for my child first birthday was beyond words. They exceeded my expectations by miles. Check the photos for the cake with ducks

Viktor Bene's Bakery at Gelson's Market did our wedding cake and I couldn't say better things about a bakery! The manager, Ever Gonzalez, did such an incredible job in helping my husband and I decide on cake flavors. He put together an amazing tasting for us and we loved all the flavors we tried - it made it so hard to narrow it down to our final choices.The cake is so moist and delicious. I am normally not a huge cake fan at weddings but Ever's cakes are the perfect mixture of flavor and sweetness. The final outcome of the cake was beautiful too. We wanted something very elegant and simple and he did exactly what we had hoped for.I would absolutely recommend Viktor Bene's bakery to anyone getting married in Orange County. Not only is the cake delicious, the service given to us by Ever was superb, we will be back for all our future bakery needs!
