Van’s Bakery — Restaurant in San Jose

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?...

Very racist employees. My husband and I walked in since we had eaten some pho at pho hao and wanted to get something sweet to snack on later. As soon as we entered they stared at us and ran behind the both of us on either side when I grabbed an item. The lady on my right side took the item from my hands and told me if I wanted them I can just tell them at the register. This was really upsetting to me because my husband and I weren't the only ones inside. We did not see them do this to anyone else other than to us. Even though they were also getting items from that same table and refrigerators. If you are not Asian I recommend not going here, as you will be racially profiled. We ended up going to the bakery that was further up in that same plaza. Will not recommened this place to anyone and will not come...

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!...
