"Bao's pastry is so wonderful and the staff is so pleasant. The pastries are so fresh and beautiful I was there Saturday when the line was so long and didn't mind waiting I made a new friend and enjoyed the conversation. This shop is a result of a very harworking family and a labor of love."

"I have never had French pastries that were not some Americanized version, so I can't say if these are on par with how they would taste in France. What I can say is I bought a Raspberry cream cheese crossiant, best crossiant I have ever had, it was a little dark, but not burnt, so it was light and flaky with just a slight crisp. Tge cream cheese was light a..." Read more

"Bao has delicious and unique French pastries unlike anything I've ever tasted before. The kouign amann (both original and new chocolate) are amazing and easily my favorite thing on the menu.

"Shop is spotless, staff knowledgeable and friendly. And oh the goodies. Amazing macaroons, fruit tarts, baguettes, lemon cake, the souffles are fabulous. I can't recommend Bao's strongly enough to satisfy your need for fresh bread or a sweet treat! Truly a gem for Valparaiso!!"

"I love Bao's. It opened very shortly after my first ever Paris trip, and the croissants, quiches, pastries, paninis, and meringues make me feel like I'm on vacation all the time in Valpo. Always excellent quality and delicious, and many new options and varieties all the time. If you see a line out the door--trust me, it's worth the wait."

"I’m no pastry scholar, so for the most part, I pick something random each time I visit and it’s always delicious regardless of what I get. The staff are incredibly helpful as well. An absolute gem of a place in Valpo."

"Every time we come to the area we have to stop here. Their pastries or as good as any in Chicago. One of the things I love about their product is it's not overly sweet like so many other bakeries."

"Stopped here for the first time ever. I got a tiramisu and BlackBerry tart while my boyfriend tried the goat cheese and smoked salmon quiche (I had a couple bites, soooooooo delicious!!!!!!) I will admit the treats were a little pricey but totally totally worth it. P.S. the Tiramisu was to die for🤤💖"
