This is the kind of bakery you step foot into and you just know everything is going to be delicious. That being said I’ve ordered several things off their menu and I was right; every crumb was eaten. They have a variety of freshly made croissants, tarts, bagels that are bigger than my hand! Amongst my favorites are the triple layered chocolate mousse cup and the lavender macaroons, the taste is not too light nor over powering. This place is a hidden gem and the customer service was absolutely fantastic it felt like stepping into an old friend’s kitchen.

We took a drive to Alpine, CA and found this place. I had an iced tea and an apple turnover. The pastry was flakey and the apple were amazing. Probably the best apple turnover I've ever had.

Delicious fresh ingredients for their drinks and sweets/breads. A taste of Italy in the cute little town of Alpine. Family owned, very kind.

They need a Air fryer 😔. Quiche->Not pleased about being heated in The microwave. It was good just would have done it justice being warmed up in a different way. Had mushy crust & soggy couldn't tell if it was all cheese or had crust at all. Can't justify the cost either 😕 Don't care to return sadly to admit

Delicious baked goods, great coffee, but most of all very loving friendly owners!!
Tried Crobean and had a disappointing experience. It was 90+ out and no a/c. Food looked great. Ordered a few macrons, one pastry and a quiche. $40. I was surprised by how expensive but ok. We asked for water cups and were told we could purchase. I understand at a $1 donut shop not having gratuitous water, but when you are paying so much, it feels weird and cheap. Especially with the heat out.
She asked if I wanted my food heated and I did. The flavor of the quiche was good but crust was soft and I wondered if it had been microwaved. The pastry was beautiful and I was shocked when I took a bite that it was so tough I could barely chew it. I walked if she had microwaved it and she said she did. Which is surprising as that will ruin a pastry. I let her know (kindly) that it was super tough and she basically said “oh” and did not attempt to do anything to address the fact that my overpriced food was ruined. Super disappointing and do not recommend.
If you do go, hydrate first and decline your food being heated.

This use to be such an amazing bakery when it first opened but over the last years the quality has gone way done. We’ve tried to give it many chances but stale and flavorless is all we get now. The owners are so sweet so I hope they can get back to how they use to be but I’m not going back anytime soon.

Adorable, nice and friendly staff, lots of variety in the pastries and savories, coffee was excellent. Only downside is no bathroom
Quantity meets quantity at the CroBean cafe, from a big menu of delicious drinks to a massive display of baked goods from bread, to pastries, to macaroons, and quiches.
I’ve never left unhappy, and Heather is always a joy to talk to. They’ve also got a little library!
May this little cafe stick around for a long time and have great fortune.

I highly recommend asking what is fresh before purchasing. I have had issues with 4 separate items not being edible Cinnamon roll was hard as a rock Muffin was too dry to eat even after heating Bagel was rock hard day after purchase and the last purchase I made there was a 13$ loaf of bread. I purchased it on Monday, unwrapped it on Wednesday to make sandwiches and saw that the inner slice the large slice had mold on it. I called and left a message immediately and let them know. I had just purchased the bread because of the price I didn’t want to throw it away. I probably should have. Because the bakery is 10 miles from where I live, I couldn’t return the loaf until Saturday again probably a mistake and when I did bring it back, I was confronted with a very negative attitude as if I was lying and I was told there was nothing wrong with the bread. I was told that this is never happened and it doesn’t make sense I said I would not have returned it and would have ate it had it not had mold. I believe she expected me to remove the moldy slice and eat the rest of the bread, but I didn’t want to take a chance.. I don’t mind paying high prices for items. I just would hope they would stand behind their products. I was embarrassed. I felt ashamed for no good reason and then I was told there was nothing wrong with the bread. I am a sourdough connoisseur and luckily, I have found a very delicious loaf. Locally for half the price made organically. When I explained to the owner, if I pay $13 for a loaf of bread, I want to be able to eat it even though I did consider throwing it away at that point there was a small loaf of sourdough on the counter. She pushed it towards me and said you can have that . She was obviously not happy about the situation. I felt insulted and if that wasn’t bad enough, I received a text from her on my way home, telling me there was nothing wrong with the bread.! Not going back
