Little France Coffee & Bakery

I discovered Little France Bakery on Tok Tok. My family and I drove from the Inland Empire to the branch in Mission Viejo, and let me tell you... IT. WAS. WORTH. IT. The pastries have unique, fun flavors, they are decadent, beautiful in their aesthetic, and most importantly, they're delicious! Sean, the owner, was the most hospitable host. He was gracious, generous and took his time explaining all the pastries he offered. He has such a positive attitude! His team were kind, welcoming and attentive. We ordered various pastries (see picture). The almond chocolate croissant and the berry danish are a must try! We are looking forward to our next visit to Mission Viejo so we can stop by Little France Bakery!

Excellent service. Came here on a whim while driving up to LA. And was able to have really good food. They accidentally overcharged us and they caught the mistake rather than me and took care of us. Very good customer service will come back here again, 10 out of 10 service.

I’ve been fortunate to visit Switzerland and France multiple times, and I absolutely love the pastries and baked goods there. The taste, texture, and quality are unmatched, and they set a very high standard for what a true European bakery should feel like.

Seeing Little France Coffee and Bakery on Instagram made me curious to try their Newport or Mission Viejo location for breakfast. The presentation looks beautiful, but after checking the menu online, I found the prices to be extremely high. For many people who don’t bake at home, it can feel difficult to justify spending that much for everyday items.

That said, I truly hope Little France Coffee and Bakery can bring the authentic taste of Europe to Southern California. If the flavors match the quality I’ve experienced abroad, it could be worth the splurge as a special treat. I gave 3 star for the price !

The decor is charming, promising more than the experience delivers. The food is mid and the service is lacking.

We have found our new favourite bakery-patisserie in the Ladera Ranch/SJC/Dana Pt area! (replacing St Honore.. PLUS the parking availability is so much better!) The positive energy and 'customer-forward' service mindset is notable, from all the staff as well as the owner/proprietor -- THANK YOU! We highly recommend the Avocado Toast; the Raspberry Croissant (see pic); and the Raspberry Macaron pastry (see pic). Cannot wait to return to try their other baked goods!

My first time here today with my parents. It was great. Got a vanilla late, americano, blueberry cheese danish, chocolate croissant, turkey croissant, combo croissant, all for $60. Pretty expensive. But the crunch level on croissants is something else. My parents loved it and they are die hard Mexican food lovers and they loved this.One table was wobbly and we moved to another table. Customer service was great.

Such a charming little café with an authentic French vibe! The pastries are fresh, buttery, and absolutely delicious—especially the croissants and éclairs. The coffee is smooth and perfectly brewed. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax or enjoy breakfast. Definitely one of the best bakeries in the area!

First time to try it, charming and unique place, fresh and high-quality food. The seating was hard, but overall it was a positive experience.

Little France Bakery might be a small spot tucked away in a strip mall, but it truly surprised us with its amazing desserts! We tried the raspberry chocolate dessert and another chocolate treat — both were absolutely heavenly. The flavors were rich, balanced, and felt like something you’d find in a café in Paris. A little pricey for the size, but definitely worth it for the quality.

We also ordered a veggie omelet and a crepe. Both tasted fresh and well made — nothing particularly new or unique, but still enjoyable.

The ambiance really adds to the experience — cozy and welcoming, with French murals on the walls that give it a charming European vibe. It’s the kind of place where you want to slow down, sip your coffee, and savor every bite.

We’ll definitely be going back for those incredible desserts!

Pastries are always made with good presentation and flavors. Service so far have been consistently friendly and the store is cute and clean. Our go to when we’re by the area for some pastries and they have coffee as well!

10/10/2025: I was really disappointed with my purchase here. I ordered this raspberry macaron dessert (photos attached), and unfortunately, it was not baked properly. The texture was soft and undercooked, and when I cut into it, the inside was still quite wet.
For $10.67, I expected better quality and flavor, it mostly just tasted overly sweet without much depth or balance. I didn’t have the chance to return it, and I’m not sure if the shop even allows returns for items like this.
It’s a beautiful dessert visually, but the taste and texture didn’t live up to the presentation.

10/11/2025: I really wanted to like this place. On my first visit, I ordered a raspberry macaron to go, but it was underbaked and still wet inside. I didn’t have time to return that day, but when I called the next morning, the person on the phone was kind and said I could come in for an exchange, which I appreciated.
I went back and decided to try a pistachio rolled croissant instead. Unfortunately, it was also disappointing, the pastry was undercooked in parts, and most of the filling was chocolate rather than pistachio. When I asked about it, the response felt dismissive, and the atmosphere turned uncomfortable. They said the pistachio croissant has chocolate filling. Interesting.
I was initially going to leave a positive review for their willingness to replace the first item, but after this experience, I don’t plan to return. The pastries look beautiful, but the quality and partially, customer care just didn’t match the presentation or price.
