Home of the Original Green Waffle! This family-owned bakery is well-known if you grew up visiting Vietnam Town and has been passed down for three generations! Aside from their infamous waffle, they also have amazing pastries and baked goods, their egg tarts being one of them! This place sells out quickly, so if you know what you want, preorder online for pick up to avoid the lines and risk your goods being sold out! What we picked up: * Egg Tarts (portuguese, durian, and kaya) * Pandan Milk Bread w/ Coconut * Pandan Chiffon Cake * Banh Bo (Honeycomb Cake) * Mochi Cakes (original, banana, and guava) * CHOUX (black sesame, ube, hojicha, kaya, and durian) * Croissants (kaya and ube) There is no seating inside, and this is strictly a take out spot. Parking can be difficult in the area, so plan ahead.
Seriously. SO GOOD. If I lived in San Jose, I would eat here all the time. I stopped in while visiting the area for a work conference and CA Bakehouse did not disappoint. We got so many things: • Ube + taro choux • Ube + taro croissant • Portuguese egg tarts • Pandan Green Waffle • and Pandan bread My favorites had to be a toss up between the flaky, delicious Portuguese egg tart and the perfectly filled ube + taro choux. If you've never had a choux, it's almost like an elevated cream puff. I definitely recommend coming early, they seem to run out of goods quickly. Parking can also be hard to find since CA Bakehouse is located in a busy shopping center. You order at the door and the person taking your order will hand you all of your pastries. There's not a ton of seating in the area, unless you're dining at a neighboring business, so we ate in our car. ...But I have zero regrets about those crumbs because it was worth it!
I love CA Bakehouse! Their pastries and breads are so good! I always order their kaya egg tarts, pandan milk break, pandan chiffon cake, and pandan green waffle. Definitely eat the green waffle right away because it is honestly so yum when it's warm and a bit crispy. I made the mistake of not eating all the breads quickly because they did go bad after a week. But that's how you know it's fresh! So definitely don't wait to eat all the goodies. Ordering is super simple. You either go up to the window or someone will come up to you and you can order with them. This place is super popular, so there's usually a line. I really love the asian flavors they use in their pastries. If you are in San Jose, go stop by!!
So delicious! Anything you buy here is fresh and amazing! Always have to stop and buy whenever I am in San Jose.
TLDR: gave us old pastries that weren’t fresh We got the pandan croissant and the croissant was a waste of calories, it was stale and barely any flakiness at all. The Same thing for the sesame cookie, flavor was not good and it was old. They don’t let you into the shop so you can’t even see the pastries and items at all. Would not recommend
