Van’s Bakery

amazing selections! My mom loved both her cakes! they were delicious!

The cake from Van's was perfect. It was gorgeous but the photo does not do it justice. I wish I remembered to take a photo of the inside but it was so delicious that I forgot to take a photo. This cake had large chunks of fruit inside. I highly recommend Van's for your party needs. Our cake was completed quickly and for a very reasonable price. What's not to like? Only downside is parking can be a bit rough as it's in a busy plaza.

This place is amazing! I had my custom gender reveal cake from this shop and it’s perfect. They respond to email inquiries promptly and in detail. Most bakeshops would require at least a week in advance to place orders and this is the only shop (in San Jose) that accepted my order on such a short notice (3 days) without any extra charge. I honestly didn’t expect much, given the time frame and not to mention that it’s Holiday Season. I was sooo happy it turned out really great. My husband and I really loved it. For reference, my custom dumpling strawberry cake measures 6” in dia. & costs $102. It tastes good too. Everything is amazing, including the very accommodating and friendly staff. 100% would recommend this place.

Very good bakery with a wide of variety of cakes, macaroons, pasteries and danishes to choose from. I got some tiramisu and it was sooo delicious. Their ice cream macaroons are out of this world. They also make some really good tropical drinks made with sugar cane. You can preorder cakes for holidays and birthdays. The manager Van is really nice and she goes out of her way to make sure yiur order will be prrfect. You gotta check it out. If you go there once, you will be there at least twice.

Van’s Bakery has been part of our community for over 30 years, baking not just cakes, but memories. From birthdays to weddings, to everyday sweet treats, their desserts have been woven into so many life's joyful moments. But what they did for our family was truly touching. When my cousin tried to order a multi-tiered cake for her dad’s 100th birthday, the owners gently refused payment. They insisted on gifting the cake as their way of honoring his incredible milestone. We were deeply touched. In that moment, we weren’t just customers. We felt like family. Van’s Bakery runs their business with heart, and their kindness reminds us what community is all about. Thank you for the last 30 years, and cheers to many more to come! @vanbakerysj

I love sweets and I have such a big sweet tooth. One of my favorite Vietnamese desserts is Cream puffs filled with Durian custard fillings. Van's bakery in San Jose makes a great version of this item. A plethora of Vietnamese baked goods are French inspired, and this is definitely one of them. To the rest of the world, Durian is know as the "Stinky fruit" of Asia. To me, the fruit smells delicious. If they made it in a colonge form, I would wear it all the time. It smells so good to me. I love this pastry because it's has lots of texture to it, the breading is soft and the custard filling melts in your mouth. Every bite is like heaven. I got a dozen for $14. I came here with the intentions of getting a Macaron ice cream sandwich, but they sold out. Hopefully i can get it next time. Let me know in the comments what is your favorite dessert? @VansBakerySJ

Went on a Saturday morning to get a birthday mocha cake. Staff was friendly and cake was ok and dry. The have other cake options such as Ube and Pandan flavored.
