CD Bakery & Deli

I was in the area and looked up bakeries to grab a snack and this spot showed up. This was my first time at a traditional Vietnamese bakery and it was amazing. I had never seen most of the items they had and got to try a couple of items which were very good. Super nice lady at the counter.

I was looking for sesame balls for Chinese New Year and theirs are truly some of the best I've had. Not too sweet or oily, perfectly crispy. Their chicken sandwich was so good and their fresh sugar cane juice was really delicious. We said no to the calmansi, but would add it next time. Overall, this bustling deli and bakery is a hidden gem in a shopping plaza that I look forward to visiting in the future.

One of the best bakeries ever. Best banh kep la dua (pandan/green waffles) ever. You get to watch them make it right in front of you! They have great egg bread as well, and it's colorful with purple and green swirls.

If you want really flavorful and savory Viet baked goods, you NEED to visit CD Bakery & Deli.I live in the 626 (SGV in LA) so when I went up to visit family up in San Jose, you know I'm gonna search for the best banh mi. Let me tell you: their banh mi dac biet--which is my go to for fair comparisons--was *chef's kiss*!! & I went to 3 other places during that trip up including Duc Houng and Dakao Sandwiches. No offense to those places cause they were already REALLY good, but then I tried CD Bakery's banh mi and the bread was A+ (light and crisp on the outside but not too much where it'll cut your mouth and soft on the inside but keeps the filling all together) and the meat inside was flavorful, but not too salty. They also loaded on the mayo and the liver pate, which I look for in my quest for the perfect banh mi. They also have the perfect amount of pickled veggies and cilantro to balance the savoriness. I also tried their pate so (Vietnamese meat puff pastry pie), which was one of the best that I've had. They're nice and flaky with a perfect meat:bread ratio. Other bakeries have too little meat or their meat is overly salty. Besides the banh mi, another "Must Have" are their sesame balls. They have 3 different flavors: yellow/mung bean, taro, or red bean. My wife LOVES the red bean and yellow bean so we got 10 of each before heading back to LA haha. We also got a gallon of their freshly squeezed sugar cane juice. Make sure to get some calamansi squeezed on top! Adds a bit of tartness and balance to the sweetness. Perfect drink for a hot day (or any day for that matter)!Best of all was the service. The owners (husband and wife) treat everyone like family as they are a family business. I'm pretty sure their kids work their too. So support this mom & pop!One thing I do regret is not getting their cafe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee), as I saw multiple people after me order and receive their drinks. Next time!Good to know: Accepts cards. Plenty of free parking. Tremendous value for money.

This review is based on the Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi), pate chaud (meat pies), nuoc mia (sugarcane drinks), banh bo nuong, and customer service. My boyfriend always gets me banh mi dac biet to go from here. I finally got to go inside and check out the interior and ambiance. The place definitely has a regular homey feeling when you're inside walking around and talking to the ladies working. I love getting the banh mi from here because they don't skimp when it comes to sauce inside -- the pate and butter. The sauce was oozing out of my banh mi when I took a bite. The pate chaud is my other favorite thing to order from here. I like to order extra to take home to snack on. The nuoc mia was good for what it is at a banh mi store. Customer service here was friendly and attentive :)

Been a regular customer for the past seven years and the ladies working here are so sweet and pleasant. They make the best pate chaud comes in chicken, beef or pork along with breads, pastries and waffles reasonably price. The only drinks they have are sugarcane comes in two sizes, but worth the price. With so many Vietnamese bakery and deli shops around this is my go-to for pate chaud and pandan waffles not to mention friendly service and they've been around for 15 years.

I only come here for the sugarcane drinks and balut. The sugarcane drink is delicious and a family favorite. They have a lot of sweet and savory bags that are a childhood favorite.

my all time favorite place to get SugarCane staff are so friendly, juice and bakery item selection are huge and yummy! what else can get better? its in the same plaza as Lion Market so you can go shopping and then come grab a little refresher as well here. for $8 you get a large cup! yum!

Sugarcane juice heaven. Refreshing taste. They sell it in half gallon $20 Freshly made as you wait. Definitely call ahead and pre order. They can run out of sugarcane. Friendly staff.
