Story

Simply the

Best Bakery

Thanh Phương Bakery & Restaurant was founded in 2021, born from a lifelong passion for food, family traditions, and the art of baking. For Thanh Phương, creating food has always meant more than filling a plate — it’s about preserving culture, sparking joy, and turning every bite into a memory. The vision was clear: build a place that carried the warmth of home into every dish.

That dream took shape on Bolsa Avenue, right in the heart of Orange County’s vibrant Vietnamese community. The location wasn’t chosen by chance — it was chosen with love. Bolsa is where culture thrives, where stories are shared, and where Thanh Phương could connect directly with the people who understood the value of authenticity, tradition, and heart. What started as a bakery quickly grew into a restaurant, a place where food became both a bridge and a celebration.

Today, Thanh Phương is known not only for its breads, pastries, and desserts, but also for the experience it creates. Families gather here, friends celebrate milestones, and neighbors find comfort. More than a restaurant, it’s a living story of passion and heritage — a testament to what happens when a dream, a community, and a little sweetness come together.
