"I've been here a couple times, all I can say is WOW!! I've tried so many things, but my faves are the assortments of croissants. I'm so glad we have Bao to satisfy our pastry needs!"

"My husband and I always try to stop at Bao's when we are in Valparaiso. We were out late and never thought they would be open. It was on a Saturday night about 9:30 pm. They were open and we were able to get some yummy pastries. One of the owners waited on me and I knew she had to be tired, but she was still so welcoming and helpful."

"Macarons are great! Chocolate mouse cake is also great! The carrot cake wasn’t very impressive but overall really good pastries. Pricing is a bit high but it’s a small business so I get it. Will be returning!!"

"I love love love this place. I honestly have to stop myself from going there because I can't control myself. My favorites are the croissants, the quiche, and the opera cake, but I have tried pretty much everything there. Great for parties and gifts and just to have a treat! They have a location in town and go to several events and markets in the area as well..." Read more

"Their deserts are fabulous!! Love this place.... My only complaint would be the square machine asking me for a tip.... Are you serious? I am so tired of tipping for people handing me a product..... your prices should reflect a fare wage.... Get rid of the tip option please...."

"Decent pastry shop but their mousse cake was the only thing worth ordering. As other reviewers mentioned, they're pricey. We don't mind paying more for quality but when 1 out of 4 things we ordered were above average, that's a red flag. Perhaps we just bought the wrong things but I'm willing to give this place another shot if we find ourselves back in Valp..." Read more

"As a fellow Valpo alumni, I can't help but wonder, "Where were you when I was studying on campus back then?!" Needless to say, I am beyond elated with this addition to Valpo downtown. I am so glad my family and I stopped by on our way to my cousin's retirement party. We picked up several items and all of them were excellent. Here's what we've tried: pain a..." Read more

"Stopped here for breakfast since I love French pastries. The shop is very cute and there's so many wonderful cakes/pastries in the display case. The shop does not have seating indoors, but it does have a few tables outside for when the weather is nice. I had an almond croissant, which was good. It had sliced almonds and powdered sugar on top of the croiss..." Read more
