Delicious Vietnamese desserts, especially those have pandan flavor! So far I tried honeycomb, choux, egg tart and croissant, they're all delicious!

Fast and efficient, but I was disappointed. There should be instructions for keeping and heating pastries. The durian egg tart was good but needed more durian. The puff pastries turned sour and had to be tossed. The banh bo was $14 but too soggy, soft, and oily.

Their croissants and mochi bread are okay but not the best.

Pandan custard tarts nice, not too sweet & have flaky crust. Ube & Kaya filled crossaints were tough, chewy with breadlike texture..fillings were delish!

Portuguese egg tart wasn't great. Shell is not fluffy and the custard tasted like it used a lot of sweet flavoring. Missing the creamy texture and sweetness and butteryness from the milk and egg. Quite off tasting. Maybe other bake goods are better?

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 liked the flavors, and the pics are very exciting. Unfortunately though I think the pastries don’t taste that great. Croissants are a bit stale and the egg tarts are not very flaky.
I really like the flavors and variety though so I’d still recommend. I’ve tried black sesame choux, ube and pandan croissants, durian and pandan egg tarts, random cakes. I like the pandan variants the most.
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.

This was our first time trying this place based on the reviews, and we were disappointed. The sponge cake was undercooked, the sesame cookie had a strange taste that none of us liked, and none of the pandan baked items tasted like they were made with fresh pandan. Overall, it didn’t live up to the hype.
