Food is GREAT!!! But didn't know online order is always 30 minutes wait no matter what. (According to the staff) So beware order wayyyy before ahead of time Wish staffs are more friendly ..and welcoming That is all

I love croissants and bakery here and their cinnamon rolls are also exceptionally good. The cinnamon tastes so fresh that I wish they add more of it.

This is one of my favorite spots in Newport Beach. Love grabbing a fresh sandwich and enjoying it at the beach. They're usually bustling and busy, and it's easy to see why. The ingredients always taste fresh, and their breads are the perfect fluffy to crunchy ratio. I also appreciate their baked good selection as well. They're always quick despite the line and friendly as well. The parking can be tricky, as it's a small lot. But the outdoor seating vibes make up for that. There's a lot of greenery and a fountain; a breezy, perfect little spot. Highly recommend!

Yummy pastries and sandwiches! Only 4 stars because of the ordering process and parking - it's still worth it though :)

C'est si bon? C'est si okay. My friends and I came here on a rainy Saturday morning and were greeted by a long line for ordering. This place seems like a local favorite, and we ordered a few different items. The sandwiches, though a bit pricey with $11+ for 9 inches, were not too bad. They satisfied our hunger after a nice morning hike. The bread was not soggy, and I enjoyed the nice layer of sprouts and chicken tarragon. My friends enjoyed their sandwiches too. The cinnamon twist was softer than one would imagine. However, the generous amount of cinnamon makes this item a flavorful and not too spicy winner. The almond croissant, though, was disappointing. Different from other bakeries, this bakery's version was not as buttery and flakey. The croissant felt like a lazy pillow that does not have any exciting consistency. Worse, the amount of marzipan or almond paste was minimal. I felt that this item is more of a plain danish and not really an almond croissant. The place looks nice, but their restrooms were surprisingly closed due to the rainy weather. I guess I did expect more and may be spoiled from other great bakeries I have visited in other cities.

Simple yet delicious sandwiches. Taste pastries. I usually get the baguette and it's always crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. The sandwiches are well-made. Nothing is skimped out on the fills. I usually get a 6' and that's pretty filling for me. The line can be long but the service is quick and the staffs are all friendly. Not much seating area. Some outside but it feels more like a take out area.

I love this place! This is our go to place to order sandwiches when we have a group over. The bread is amazing, the sandwiches (my favorite is the chicken curry) are super yummy and everyone loves the cookies. Great staff and easy to order and pick up. I highly recommend this bakery!
The food and services were good as usual.but the lack of seating inside takes away from the comfort of eating there. It appears that they had seating but they removed the tables and chairs forcing you to eat outside. I guess I'll limit eating there for warm and dry weather.

Descent coffee and food choices. Staff needs some manners and customer service training. I walk in and ordered pastries and coffees. Paid for it and tipped! I went back to the counter and asked for forks and a straw...the guy asked me three times very rudely in aloud voice if I was in line..."yes I was, I ordered paid and picked up food all in front of you"...his response was "what do you mean"....I am sorry it is a food place what did you think I mean. Definitely avoid this place unless you are ok with the snooty attitude! Plenty of other places in this part of town.

It was a perfect pair for breakfast. The buttery croissant was mouthwatering and it must have just come out of the oven because it was the right amount of warmth. I ordered my favorite hot drink, a large Chai Tea Latte. Service was quick and the cashier was very nice. I was surprised that there was very limited seating inside. There is a patio outside but it was a bit in the cooler side. I sat outside for a bit but it started to sprinkle and went inside and was lucky to find a stool at the bar that faced the window. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit!

I love Cest si bon, my absolute favorite for pastries and sandwiches. Amazing deli. But the coffee drinks are so so bad! The cappuccinos and lattes are always burnt and flavorless. Hope you guys improve these!
