"This place is a very unique pastry shop. It is a French and Vietnamese inspired shop. A lot of the dishes have a balance between French and Vietnamese vibes. The staff member was really helpful and making the decision for the pastries that we ended up with. Definitely wish I had more time to have all the other items on their menu."

"Anything you get here is delicious but what makes it so much better is the awesome staff there. Always helpful and friendly. BAO Pastery has turned into a regular visit and a family favorite spot. If we had to pick a favorite item tho, it would have to be the Macaroons."

"Bao’s Pastry for the win in customer service! We were shorted an item on Saturday, but we did not notice until dinner time. I called the shop Saturday night and the owner insisted on delivering the item to my home in Hobart! We couldn’t believe it. Customer for life!"

"I love their creme roulette with the crust. But they never have it. I've tried getting it at coffee creek market, and at european market, I even tried getting it at Bao's store in Valpo!!! Several other people are also disappointed that they don't make enough at all 3 places. I hope they will start making more or myself and others will start going elsewhere!..." Read more
