"I’ve visited Barcelona Spain 8 times. This is the closest and most authentic you’re gonna find without the flight. I travel from Fort Wayne to Valpo to retrieve these decadent delights. Go hard savory pastries!"

"Absolutely amazing! Heard about this place from a friend and I was not disappointed. You can tell that they use real butter and high quality ingredients from the taste. As someone who has made French pastries at home as a hobby I can vouch that there is A LOT of effort, man hours, and skill in turning out a high quality product. Definitely worth the money, I..."

"Amazing! They were able to make me a Strawberry Cheese Cake on a day they were technically closed! I so appreciate that, because they didn’t have to do it for me. So professional and the cheese cake was delicious! Thank you guys again. I will be back."

"this is a little gem off the main drag of downtown Valparaiso.

If you want a li..." Read more

"As a person who loves pastries & has tried just about everything sweet downtown, this place is by far THE BEST. After trying several different pastries during different occasions, I can honestly say this place puts a lot of thought into each individual pastry. I believe they truly use fresh ingredients because I can taste it in the flavor. I have never bough..." Read more

"Bao’s is amazing. Everything at the bakery is fresh and of the highest quality. There are daily standards and new and rotating recipes, so I follow the Facebook page to know when they have my absolute favorite treats. While the desserts are not inexpensive, they are quite affordable, and worth every cent (and calorie). I cannot recommend it highly enough..." Read more
