Bake & Che — Restaurant in Garden Grove

This is their second location still in soft opening. Located in the former Red Sake Sushi Bar at the corner of the Oc and Lau plaza. This location is more spacious inside than the one on Bolsa.

The menu is simple with 8 drinks ranging from $6-$8. You can customize sweetness level and add extra durian and toppings. 8 baked items and 3 jello items, all for $1.50 each. The baked and jello items are cup cake size. You can also mix and match in sampler boxes from 5-20 pieces.

We ordered 4 drinks with no ice. They gave us a bag of ice on the side. This is great if you’re going to consume it later so it doesn’t melt and dilute. We also got palm sugar and pandan coconut jelly.

I can only comment on what I got which was Pandan Grass Jelly drink. I was craving the pandan which looked like green stringy worms and could do without the grass jelly because it just reminded me of the canned version. I wish it had more pandan than grass jelly.

I also tried the palm sugar which is the baked version not steamed. Their baked version is different than other places. It was more dense, buttery rich and had a caramelized taste instead of the bouncy airy texture. Perfect size for not over doing it.

I feel that OC has tons of bakeries and restaurants that serve the same tradition desserts for less. It’s just catering to the young modern generation with their cute, small and customizable concept.

I doubt we will be back because parking at either location can...

Rất ngon! :)

A decent amount of options, but items are pretty pricey for the small portions. Their chès are great, but the bánh lọt isn't as chewy as it should be. I highly recommend the #1 House Special (Đặc Biệt) because it has a little bit of everything!

#1 House Special (Đặc Biệt): 10/10 - great durian flavor #2 Thai (Chè Thái): 8/10 - sweet and a mix of different jellies #3 Three Colors (Chè Ba Màu): 6/10 - didn't really have any flavor and just a bunch of beans #4 Pandan Grass Jelly (Sương Sáo Bánh Lọt): 5/10 - bánh lọt wasn't chewy

We didn't have to wait to long for our desserts and they have spoons, napkins, and forks available for us. The place is a lot more spacious than the other location and has more tables. They're located in a plaza so it gets really busy and might be tough finding a parking...
