the BAKERY — Restaurant in Buena Park

Overall: 3.8/5 (take out)

The Bakery is located near the entrance of the food court on L3 of The Source. They had a good selection of pastries and dessert as well as a mini station with coffee condiments, straws, & napkins on the side. However, the plastic forks and knives had white spots all over them which seemed like dust so I wouldn't use them if possible but if you do, make sure to wipe them thoroughly.

Matcha Brulee Donut ($4.75): This is a brulee donut stuffed with matcha cream and was the better of the two we tried. We loved the matcha cream which wasn't too sweet. The donut was soft and good but the brulee sugar on top was hard and too sweet for me. My husband really liked it though and he's not a sweets person.

Peach Donut ($4.50): This was a powdered donut with a peach filling. The donut was soft and tasted like a regular donut. It had the regular white sugar powder and orange peach powder. The peach filling had real peach bits in it, a very coagulated jelly texture, and a very subtle peach flavor. Overall it was okay so we wouldn't recommend or...

Came to The Source just to walk around with a friend and saw a sign for a sweet potato doughnut that led me to walk upstairs to the food court where this place is. I ordered two sweet potato doughnuts because I just knew in my heart and soul that it was going to be delicious. The first bite was absolutely incredible. Perfect pillowy dough that encases the fluffiest creamiest most sweet potatoiest filling you've ever tasted. It was pure decadence and joy in doughnut form. I am still dreaming about this doughnut. I will 100% be back ro purchase more and I check out the matcha or creme brulee doughnut that also caught my eye. My heart belongs to that sweet potato doughnut now and I want to buy all my loved ones some so they can also experience this. Not too sweet either 👌🏽

Tl;dr if you like malasadas definitely get...

I always enjoy visiting the BAKERY inside OC Source in Buena Park for its well known crème filled donuts.

•• Atmosphere •• tends to be quite busy, especially on weekends and evenings, so be prepared for that. There are several levels in the parking structure, making it easier to find a spot outside of peak hours. The bakery itself is located on the third level, near the stair and elevator access.

•• Service •• is generally quick, and the cashiers are friendly for the most part.

•• Food •• I specifically come here for their strawberry, blueberry, and banana cream-filled donuts. They are absolutely the best sweet treat after a meal! They are a bit on the pricey side at around $4.50 each, but they’re definitely shareable.

Overall, I would give it a four out...
