“I love eating at Jack's! A friend once said that it captures the vibe of a local place in New York or Boston, and I agree! The food is excellent and some of their specials are really special, such as the Double Cut Pork Chop Milanese (Thursdays only)! The atmosphere is warm without being overwhelmingly loud, and the staff is professional and welcoming. Jack's presents a good dining experience with confidence, and I always enjoy myself.“

“This place is a retreat, heaven and happy place. I love it all. ❤️🌱“

“Really enjoyed my stay! The rooms were quiet and comfortable, the hotel bar was fantastic, and the room service was excellent. Loved the thoughtful little amenities—they really made a difference.“

“I feel that Moulin in Laguna Beach is a bit better than this location, but I still had a good experience here. One thing that has always disappointed me about Moulin is the size of their lattes—they're just too small. I wish they offered larger latte options on the menu. Other than that, everything was good, and I would probably come back more often if they served bigger lattes.“

“Only bread I can eat!! 💗“

“Love our first time here this morning. Better croissants than we had in France and we thought they were good! Outstanding quality and you can tell everything is made with 100% pride, care, compassion and love. Will definitely go back more than once! Goodbye diet!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Very close to the beach, close to center of everything. I personally thinks it’s more for American palate. Not for Chinese palate. But given it’s in a touristy place, I think it’s very very good Chinese food, speaking as a Chinese eater. lol.“

“Good food, good prices, friendly staff, great view from upstairs.“

“Came for lunch with my gran about a month after my grandfather passed. It was my gran's first outing since the funeral and i was worried but our server was this adorable silver haired woman named Rebecca. She had my Gran laughing the whole time. We ordered combos and the suggested jalapeño watermelon margaritas, which were spicy and refreshing. We needed a nap afterwards because we were too stuffed! My gran won't stop asking when we can go back. Thank you South of Nicks for lovely meal, and Thank you Rebecca, for helping a family member feel normal after tragedy. You are in our prayers“

“I celebrated my birthday with a friend at this winery, and it was wonderful! They set us up with a cozy private room where we could relax, chat, and laugh. The wines were excellent, and the appetizers were just right. It was a perfect, memorable experience!“

“It was my first time there. Lovely staff and wonderful food“

“The food was excellent! I will definitely return.“

“Amazing pizza and atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back again!“

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.“

“The vegetarian rolls are so flavorful and the staff is super friendly! Definitely going back.“

“Had a client dinner here at The Loft while they were in town evaluating Laguna Beach properties — the setting alone sealed the deal on their interest in the area. The restaurant sits within the Montage resort with sweeping views that are genuinely hard to beat. The menu is thoughtfully put together with quality ingredients and an impressive wine selection. Service was polished and attentive. As someone who regularly brings buyers to Laguna Beach, I find that a meal at The Loft does more for their decision than any property brochure ever could. The atmosphere communicates the lifestyle perfectly.“

“This is hands down the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had. It’s as close to traditional bread you will ever find. Unfortunately I don’t live close to her locations but it’s absolutely worth the drive! Highly recommend!!!“

“Great selection of flavors, high quality ingredients and so delicious! You won't miss the dairy 😉“

“Tracy and her team have exceeded my expectations both times I've ordered custom cakes. Not only do they look amazing they taste amazing too!“

“Moulin in San Clemente is this adorable French bistro that's totally transporting. The vibe's cozy and it feels like a mini getaway. We sat outside and it was perfect, beautiful sunny day and the outdoor seating is gorgeous. I went for the omelette special with mushrooms and French ham and it hit the spot, eggs were perfect and the flavors were great. My wife loved the Croque Monsieur sandwich. Customer service was outstanding, the staff were super friendly and on point. Oh, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing! They've also got this cute little market thing going on which was a nice touch. If you're in San Clemente, Moulin is a solid pick for a chill French meal. We'll be back.“

“Amazing coffee and food. Very good ingredients.“

“Love the pastries and bought a cake“

“Aside from there delicious little Bundt cakes, I wanted to provide a review on their customer service. When we realized this location was closing in 10 minutes, we were hesitant to go in because the young lady was sweeping the floor. I work in a service industry as well so I understand how 'last minute' guests can be 😉. She was quick to make eye contact with us as soon as we walked in. She also stopped cleaning right away to service us with a smile. She was friendly & patient and said we would be able to get another coupon like the one we used for my birthday if we complete a survey. Filling out this survey is less about the coupon but more about Carissa. Wonderful young lady with great work ethic and a warm demeanor. Great hire, Nothing Bundt Cakes Laguna Hills! Thanks again for consistently delicious little Bundtlets!“

“Great food Great atmosphere“

“unique cocktails, blts, chicken sandwiches“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast.

Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“Finally got to try one of their famous cakes. Delicious!!!! Had an online order and we were instantly greeted by a very nice young man working there, our cake was ready and we were good to go within a minute. I love the small business vibe they have and the enthusiasm from the employees. Will be back!“

“My wife told me she wanted a chocolate raspberry cake for her birthday, I looked around for inspiration and a bakery that could deliver.

And I came across this place! Butter+Cream bakery was very helpful in making my wife's cake dream come true! I also spoke with the owner and they were kind enough to create a 'special request' that I made. I'm definitely coming back here for her birthday, our anniversary, and whatever other occasion that gives you an excuse to eat cake!“

“Always a great experience here. Staff is so polite and friendly. Food is amazing and portions always require a to go bag. Highly recommend“

“My granddaughter said it was fantastic! She got 6 different flavors and wow she stated they all was delicious....“

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“I had a wonderful experience dining here on Saturday 4/11 and wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding customer service From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of.

Thank you to our server, Gabby, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect, she had a positive attitude and attention to detail truly stood out.

I’d also like to acknowledge the manager James, who took the time to ensure everything was going smoothly. That extra level of care and professionalism does not go unnoticed.

Overall, the service was great, the food was amazing, the restaurant was clean, and we will be coming back!“

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.“

“Blown away by Susie Cakes! Great people, fabulous selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and accessories! Plus they made my poor planning and last minute need their very pleasant priority. Sweet service with a smile!!!“
