"Hands down the BEST bakery in northern Indiana. Their croissants easily compete with ones I’ve had in Paris. Unlike other regional bakeries who worry less about flavor and more about sweetness levels, Bao’s has an innate ability to pair flavors so brilliantly that sweet is the last thing you taste. Oh and the staff is always sweet and helpful. Go and supp..." Read more

No processed food or pastries . Everything look beautiful as Ph.Conticini or J.Cagnes’s pastries.I mean my two favorite famous French chiefs and I can honestly add Bao..." Read more

"Absolutely LOVE ❤️ your pastries and desserts ..! Hope to see some themed items (holidays). You have a great reputation as everything you make tastes great ! Prices are a little high but then again a specialty. Packaging may not always support the item. That’s the only thing I would improve on! Yum! Thanks for making Valpo your home!!"

"Yummy, the best selection of desserts in a tiny little space. Blows my mind how many different things there are to choose from. Tons of differently flavored macaroons. Wonderful fruit and chocolate tarts and cakes. Gorgeous desserts that taste as good as they look."

"Incredibly delicious French pastries by an actual French patissier. High-quality ingredients and beautiful design turn the pastries and gateaux into edible pieces of art. Highest recommendations, especially for the mango passion fruit cake."

"Although it is a half hour drive for me, I absolutely love this place. I recently called in advance to verify hours and availability of almond croissants. When she verified they had them, she even offered to put my request aside for me.💜 But when I arrived, I decided to try other pastries. Their selection was vast. My choices all were amazing, including the..." Read more

"Absolutely delicious confections and the staff are friendly and patient as you ask questions and view the goods on display. During this unusual time, I would let you know that it is a tiny shop, which makes social distancing virtually impossible. So basically one or two patrons can be inside at a time. You may need to wait in a line outside of the shop for a..." Read more

"If you want true pastry perfection this is the place to go. We stop by as often as possible and have tried everything from the chocolate mousses to the fruit tarts, always a beautiful flavor profile and visually stunning. If there happens to be a line, I promise its worth the wait. Highly recommend the fruit based options if you like a more subtle sweet."
