Patisserie/Cake Shops near Buena Park, CA

“I visited on Saturday, May 17, 2025, just after 5 PM to buy donuts. I was disappointed that my favorite flavor was sold out, but the young employee’s warm smile and kind service convinced me to buy other donuts. The girl wearing a hat, who looked like a student, greeted every customer with a smile, which was wonderful to see. If the owner reads this, that employee deserves a raise!“

“Delicious pumpkin spice Latte ☕🍁“

“First of all, it smells so good as you walk in. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Some of the cakes are becoming a little bit pricey, but it’s not too sweet or too fattening and very soft and fluffy. They have a large variety of coffee drinks and other drinks. They also have a large choice of sandwiches to choose from. My favorite bakery in CA.“

“Delicious pastries; great service. Highly recommend.“

“There is really nothing like this place. Peaceful during the day, music outdoors on the patio every night. Well-made coffee drinks, teas, and pastries. Such a friendly community of staff, musicians, and patrons. Tuesday night open mic, Thursday jazz, Friday blues, every other night a delightful surprise! You'll find me there; they can't get rid of me. Also, they have a limited selection of beer and wine. Easy parking in lots immediately behind and across the street, and a structure a half block away.“

“If I could leave a higher star rating, I absolutely would! live out of state and was looking for a place to host my sister in law's baby shower. The very sweet Alisha (and her staff) went out of her way over and over to make this such a beautiful day. The location was adorable, food was insanely delicious, the drinks and desserts were absolutely incredible. And my sweet sister was delighted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the best day! I will make a stop in here each time I'm in town.“

“It was very delicious 😋❤️🎂“

“Love this Bakery! Have been going here for a few years. Have ordered two special occasion cakes with amazing outcomes. The staff is so friendly and helpful you always walk out with a smile. And the cakes.. wow, the cakes! Flavor and looks are always on point! Greatly recommended!“

“Easily accessible as it is within inside of seafood city. They have ready to go breads and other food as well. They don’t have this Canada and my parents always wanted the mammon and cheese ensaymada. We grab those and they already in the bag and packed. I highly recommend try those if you don’t know what to get here.“

“Friendly workers. Delicious pastries.“

“Beautiful delicious pastries and breads, also delicious milk teas and espressos 💕“

“They made my mom’s birthday cake it was a work of art and it was delicious. We chose my mom’s favorite. Carrot cake with a whip cream frosting and custard filling. It was the most delicious carrot cake I ever had! Even family members who exclaimed they did not like carrot cake tried this one and changed their mind it was that good!! We also got a flan pie. Same thing. So delicious. I wish I knew about this baker for my wedding cake but going forward I will get all my pies and cakes here. I highly recommend it!!“

“The Blueberry Chiffon cake is my favorite here. It is beautifully decorated with perfection and the design is different each year. I also love the Rainbow Cake which is super colorful, and the Strawberry Soft Cream Cake is always delicious!!“

“Best cakes ever! 5☆ been a customer for over 10yrs.“

As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! The cakes and pastries were fresh and flavorful, showcasing the quality that Red Ribbon is known for. I especially enjoyed the variety of options available, catering to different tastes and preferences.“

“I've been visiting this location for a couple years now. I'm mainly there for a quick grab-n-go coffee and sometimes pastries.

Parking: This spot is located in a plaza with a large parking lot. Plenty of parking spots; usually easy to find.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a medium sized space with booth and table seating. It's a warm setting. It can be studious, but I'd say it's more so a social environment. The tables and seating can use an hourly cleaning. The tables are sticky majority of the time, and the seats have crumbs on them. The pastries and cakes are beautifully displayed along the left side of the wall. It does get empty mid-day and towards the end of day. Not sure how often they restock the pastries, but it could use some work during the day.

Service: It truly depends on who's working. Some workers are nice and efficient while other workers can improve on their professionalism. A few examples: a worker at the register did not say one word, took my order, and that was it. When you order a drink, they usually bring the drink to you. The same worker placed my drink on the table and again, did not say anything. I was looking the other direction and did not realize my drink was on the table. Another worker left mid transaction while I was ordering to assist another customer that rudely cut the line. There's also an inconsistency with how their drinks are made. Again, depending on who's working, your drink can either taste good or bad. There can be a language barrier at times, but majority of them understand and speak English.

Drinks, pastries, & cakes:

Drinks - 99% of my visits are for my coffee fix before work. I enjoy trying their seasonal drinks. I love lattes, and every season I always try the newest latte. Again, depends on who's working, the drink can either taste good or bad. From my experience, majority of the time my drinks come out exactly how I prefer it. Not overly sweet, flavored, and strong with caffeine. Other times, it can be too milky, lack of flavors, or not strong.

Pastries - I love their pastries. Presentation is always on point, and it tastes even better than it looks. The Ham & Cheese, Smoked Sausage Bread, and Curry Croquette are my favorite savory pastries, especially when they're warmed up. Their sweet pastries are fresh and tastes delicious. My go-to is the Strawberry Croissant.

Cakes - The cakes are limited, so I recommend purchasing one asap. The designs are very cute. The variety of flavors are appealing. Their Red Velvet Cake is my family's go-to on occasions. Their Cappuccino Cake is the most decorative and definitely tastes exactly as described. From the cakes we've tried so far, they aren't too dry or overly sweet.

Pricing: Highly recommend joining their rewards app for points and monthly coupons. I only visit when they send out coupons. I really enjoy their pastries, cakes, and drinks. My main star off is for the inconsistent service.“
