    Mom and I seem to always hit up Van's Bakery after eating at Nha Trang. The bakery has been a convenient stop to pick up some sweets, baked goods, and other Asian specialties. Located at the Lion Plaza on Tully Road in San Jose, not only is there ample parking for patrons, the shopping centre is also home to several other Asian restaurants and a food court, gift shops, jewelers, bakeries, etc. Inside, the shoppe appears fairly clean. The sides of the store are lined with cold storage units and glass cases, all displaying goodies for sale. In the middle of the room, as well as along the clear case counters, are packaged tidbits for easy shopping. Van's has a great inventory of a myriad of snacks. In addition to unique cakes and Chinese and Vietnamese treats, Van's offers some French delights like Macarons and Ice Cream Macarons with interesting flavours. Below are the items that Mom and I purchased during our most recent visit on Saturday evening, July 6, 2024: GUAVA MOUSSE ($5) - Mom really liked this slice of cake. She said that the guava flavour really came through. MOCHA HAZELNUT ($5) - "It's ok," per Mom. MINI PATE CHAUD PORK (HEO NHO, $1.50) - Good! A great price, too. Service is quick and friendly. We will be back, I'm sure. I need to get some regular sized PATE CHAUD PORK (HEO LON, $2.50)!

    My wedding cake turned out very beautiful and tasty. Each layer has a different flavor. I got strawberry, mango, and guave. It was light, fluffy, and not ovelry sweet. My wedding guests enjoyed it. Highly recommend this bakery for wedding cake.

    Moon Cake Central. It is defiantly moon cake season. The place was filled with all different kinds and sizes of moon cakes. It was hard to decide what kind of moon cakes to get. I was on a search for a chocolate moon cake. One of the staff members took their time to ask me if I needed help. I asked if they had a chocolate moon cake, expecting them to look at me crazy and say no. To my surprise she said let me look in back. A short time later a gentleman came out with 2 different types of moon cakes. He said he's doing a speciality order of chocolate moon cakes and said he has one that is chocolate with the traditional center and a second that was like a chocolate lava cake. I opted for the $7 chocolate lava. I left happily with my prized chocolate moon cake. I highly recommend this bakery for all of your moon cake needs. The Chocolate lava moon cake was amazing. I wish I had more. I'd love to eat more and share them with my friends. It was nothing like any moon cake I've ever had. It tasted just like a lava cake with a molten center. If you have a chance to have one it's a must. It's to die for.

    Van's bakery is such a staple in San Jose. This is my go to spot for green waffles or pandan waffles, but this time around was my first time buying cakes. Came here looking for a small green cake which they had pandan flavor, but I had to get other flavors because they sounded yummy. I ended up getting durian, taro, pineapple and the pandan flavor. The favorite in my house was the durian flavor and pandan. The cakes are so light and airy like a sponge cake and the frosting is lightly sweetened which was a delight because sometimes I find my self scraping of frostings from other bakeries. Something I wish I knew before coming in were their candle selections. I was on a big hunt for buying a small golden number candle and who would have known that Van's Bakery would have it. I was extremely happy and will note for next time. Van's bakery has so much to offer and highly recommend. Service was also great!
