Their Portuguese egg tarts are a must to try. They have one flavor so it makes it a lot easier to choose; instead of having multiple different flavors.

Paderia in Fountain Valley was a surprise to find, as I was looking for a new coffee spot to try in the area. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered Malasadas almost as fresh and tasty as those I go back to Maui for again and again. The banana pudding and Portugese Egg Tart are also a must-try along with any of their coffee items. I ordered the Mazapan iced coffee, and it was smooth and flavorful, but most importantly, not overly sweet. I will come back to try other menu items that struck my interest. The staff is friendly and makes your order feel special!

I fly to LA once a month to stock up on Paderia cookies and bring them back to Dallas. My gf is starting to get jealous because I get more excited to go to Paderia than to have dinner together with her... I only love their cookies and my mom...I'm sorry...

Stopped in here for an afternoon break. The pineapple tea was phenomenal - I wish I had gotten a larger size! The pastries were really good as well. Staff were friendly and helpful in choosing what to order. Fun vibe and love the decor! Next time I have a TjMaxx trip I'll stop in here first for my fix!

I can't emphasize it enough on how great the Malasadas are from here. I just came back from Hawaii where I had Leonard's Bakery Malasadas and boy the ones here at Paderia Bakehouse tastes just the same! Thank you Paderia! I always stop by when I'm in town to get me my Sugar Malasada, Cinnamon Malasada and Chocolate Walnut Cookie. I had their Raspberry Matcha with Oat Milk and it was good as well. Very settled and not over powering matcha.

Although the business hours are reasonable, arriving later in the afternoon means Paderia has no more malasadas nor ensaimadas, just cookies. After a day or two, I returned again with malasadas in stock, but not ensaymadas, again. If you're expecting Leonard's (on Oahu) malasadas which are light, these aren't it. Paderia's malasadas are not as light. The same is true for the egg tarts. The cookies remind of NYC's Levain.

When I first saw and tasted the cookies, my first thought was the mouth-watering New York Levain cookies. Similar in size and certainly the next best thing here in Orange County! Totally worth it for $5 a piece. I often buy the Triple Chocolate, Peanut Butter Chocolate and the Chocolate Walnut and I savor each bite. Yes, they are humongous, but you don't have to eat it all in one sitting :) I place it in the fridge and when I have my craving I heat it for about 10 seconds. i love warm cookies as it gives off a 'freshly-baked' feel. Packaging is elegant, perfect for gifting. The place is small and easily packed when there's a line, and the staff are really friendly and nice.

I have been to Portugal, the Azores and Spain so I have a knowledge to rate these delicacies The ensaïmada is a pastry product from Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. Malassada is a Portuguese fried pastry from the Azores. It is a type of doughnut, made of flattened rounds of yeasteddough, coated with sugar and cinnamon or accompanied with molasses. As much as I love them, I only buy these maybe once a year as it's very rich n a little too sweet but really delicious. My husband came back from the doctor probably looking forlorn as he had to fast n got up early n he had to wait in line. The server noticed that n gave him an extra Malassada. Every donut was delicious, the ultimate best was the flaky custard the Portuguese delicacy are famous for. All of the donuts could be less sweet but I'm sure every European bakery adjusts the taste to match what Americans like. One thing that was not good was the coffee, a waste of $3.75. It was flavored w either an artificial vanilla n or chocolate. I hate flavored coffee as coffee is the flavor you want why compromise that? That said I still rate this 5 stars for both value (as compared to the $6 German donuts called Berliner) n taste, it's a great way to get up to an amazing espresso I made with the Swiss Nespresso coffee maker n delicious Paderia!

Loved the Malasadas. So fluffy and has a nice chewy dough. Perfect amount of filling. Nutella and vanilla were both good. Kinda liked the vanilla better. Matcha horchata was nice and refreshing. I'd ask for less ice next time though. Service was friendly and loved how clean it was inside. A few seats available but it's more of a to go place.

Their ube cheesecake is scrumptious! It's not overly sweet and doesn't taste like the traditional cheesecakes out there. It has a light and fluffy, but creamy and dense texture at the same time. I usually get horchata iced coffee, but decided to get it hot and it was equally tasty. Everything I could want in my coffee. Service was pretty quick considering it wasn't too crowded on that particular day. Shop is simple in decor, but clean with wood and greenery decor. I've had their various donuts, cookies, and the custard egg tarts--can't go wrong. Have gotten them as gifts for birthdays and meetings and it always adds a nice touch!
