"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!!"

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
