“I’m a bread and croissant snob and I’m throughly impressed! The everything bagel cream cheese stuffed croissants are what dreams are made of. We went through a whole loaf of the jalapeño cheddar sourdough!!! Please come over the hill to Murrieta and open another location! PLEEEEEASE :)“
“I went in for a couple pizzas today and I am amazed at how fast the employees were working!!! I was pleased how how nicely i was greeted and overall a great experience. Jordan was on the register and grabbing food so fast i had to write the review, I showed up 15 mins early and i told him i would wait he said not to worry that he wouldn't make me wait and gave me my pizzas. I Will definitely be coming back.“
“If you want to eat real Mexican food, this is the place to go. This is the real deal. The tortillas are handmade, all the food is made from scratch, and it is authentic. I've had the Carne asada burritos and the Carnitas burritos and tacos and they are all delicious. One of my favorite things to eat here is the beef stew called Caldo the Rez. The service is good and they even have a little market next-door so you can buy some real Mexican, kind of hard to find,items. They also have some really yummy Agua Fresca.“
“This is such a cute spot! We had the best carrot cake, gelato & key lime pie. The customer service was excellent, it was super clean and there is enough seating indoors for like 20 people but, plenty of space to sit outside. Great for families or dates.“
“Auténtica mexican flavor… tge food is very good make sure u order the right size of the tacos because if not u going to overeat… we try carnitas and asada tacos also we take some Mexican Bread !! And bolillos…. To all the people who leave in san juan Capistrano u are bless with this bread ?!!The natural aguas frescas are delicious!! They have outdoor eating only….“
“The owner of the bakery is such a lovely gentleman, and literally everything I've ever had from here has been absolutely delicious. Even coming in later in the day, there's always a great selection of delicious treats, and excellent service. As a long time aficionado of BREAD over in Santa Ana, I have to say....I come to Saffron for my baguettes now. No shade to bread, they're still amazing! But the baguette here is worthy of it's own review!“
“Came here over the weekend after wanting to try Giselle's for years. I was greeted by Alex, who was very kind and knowledgeable on the various treats. I purchased a couple of the PB&J protein bars and the chocolate protein bars. So yummy! PB&J was my favorite of the two. Major brownie points for being gluten free and 100% organic. I'll definitely be back for more soon!“
“This is a great place for delicious pastries. Small company, quiet inside, everything is freshly made into delicious. They try innovative new recipes for food and beverages, and their offerings Change which is fun! Their Cup of Joy latte is my favorite coffee drink. They are centrally located in Mission Viejo but are are not open every day, which is my only complaint!“
“We stopped by Chaupain for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised with the menu selection. We ordered the quiche and croque madame. On of my typical gripes about quiche is it's never consistently baked. Either too dry or soggy. The quiche at Chaupain was anything but that. Nice and firm, but not overly cooked, the quiche was amazing! It paired beautifully with the tomato soup. So much flavor and we enjoyed every bite!“
“This bakery and the people who run it are THE BEST! After many wedding cake tastings, I chose them to do my wedding cake. They are so helpful, passionate and I felt in such good hands! Not only was their cake good, but they are also such down to earth GOOD people. They nailed my dream wedding cake. Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend them.“
“My BF always stops here on his trips to Orange County. We came in today for burgers, fries, and donuts. The burgers are tasty, fries are served super hot, and don't forget to get plenty of donuts. They have the BEST apple fritters! Where else can you get a combo of burger, fries, drink, and a donut? Service was prompt, the little shop was clean, and they have plenty of parking.“
“One of my favorite local spots. The food is always on point and fresh. The service is always great. Go for breakfast and get some incredible pastries. They’re delicious and they rotate the selection constantly which makes it fun. Their pasta is made in house, so we love going for dinner as well. I’ve tried several of the pasta dishes and I’ve never been disappointed. I could ramble on forever. Just make reservations (you have to call at least 24 hours in advance) and leave a little extra time to park. The lot in the back is small and if you can’t find a spot there, you’ll need to street park.“
“I’ve been here many times and my experience has always been positive 100% of the time. The pastries are a work of art with a meticulous attention to detail.Great tasting coffee as well.Friendly service.Best French bakery in Orange County!“
“I can NOT say enough about this wonderful bakery!!! I had them make a cake for my mother's 94th birthday, and it was AMAZING! She loved it so much and so did everyone at the party. The owner is incredibly sweet and attends to any needs you may have. I pivoted and changed my flavor at the last minute and she did it. It was just such a pleasant and easy experience.... use them! You will not be disappointed.“
“Ordered a wedding cake about 2 weeks before our wedding. They were extremely friendly and communicative the entire process. All we requested was white heart shaped cake. Initially we ordered a 6", but later decided to go with 8" and there was no issue. We also ordered a cupcake as a birthday surprise and everything was amazing tasting and looked great!“
“5 stars for everything is a no brainer. Once you’ve tried it you’ll never go anywhere else. Barts is a true artist who can design and craft ANYTHING you ask. His work is worth every penny. He and his team will work day AND night to make sure you are 120% satisfied. You will not be disappointed, guaranteed.“
“These cookies are amazing and best in Orange County. We got an assortment of 4 cookies in a bright pink box that the family loved as a desert treat after dinner. They had chocolate chip and frosting and sprinkles on their cookies.Love this place with great service as well.“
“I came across Shadi's yelp page when I was searching for a bakery to make my wedding cake. I noticed that the options were limited in the area but came across Shadi's page which showcased really nice looking cakes therefore I explored more. I spoke to Shadi briefly, and then followed her ordering process. We had a very intimate wedding of 50 people in total therefore cake tasting was not an option. This meant I'd have to take a risk. I decided to take a chance on a Shadi cake. Let me tell you, I'm so happy I took that chance. The cake was gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. I ordered a double tiered chocolate cake, with vanilla whip cream and fresh raspberry center and a vanilla buttercream frosting. The cake was moist, fresh, and absolutely delicious not too rich or dense! The whipped cream and fresh fruit was very light with the perfect amount of sweetness. Our guests raved about the cake, everyone loved it. Shadi is incredibly kind and sweet herself! Thank you, Shadi, you are so talented and we are very happy with the outcome“
“I would argue that this is one of the best coffee shops in California.I stopped in for a bite to eat and then I left with a loaf of bread. Let me tell you, this place just became my next addiction.The jam and butter biscuit was from heaven itself. They serve OLIPOP which is my FAVORITE drink to find at a coffee shop when I don’t want any more caffeine.I can’t wait to stop in again for more treats!For more reviews follow me here on google or on instagram @audrey.pulliam“
“Great place for someone vegan and gluten intolerant. I had an açaí bowl regular size and it was very generous, full of fresh fruit and gluten free granola which made it sweeter.The açaí itself was pretty sweet on its own so I would probably not take the granola next time. The açaí was the correct consistency. Not completely frozen like some places serve it but very cold like a thick smoothie which is how it should be served.Service was great, nice chilled vibe and you can tell it’s not a huge chain but a local business which makes me want to come back and try some of their other bowls, coffees and bakes.“
“It's a nice tiny donut shop on pch across from the ocean. It's a very simple menu with nothing real cream filled. I like to go with my wife to get cronuts and eclairs, then we go down to Aliso Beach a few blocks away to eat them sitting on the benches and watching waves.“
“Food has never failed to satisfy me! Love their french fries the most though!!! No other place does it like them. And the mood/ambiance is always welcoming, always feel like Im being greeted by family. On the quick side of service too! Definitely recommend it.“
“Take @Ash Cuessy review with a grain of salt. I was ordering at Roman's Mexican restaurant (which is next door to Chaupin's Bakery) when this interaction happened. What I saw were two customers cussing and shouting each other out while the service workers were just shocked at the interaction. One customer was telling Ash Cuessy's Father not to be rude to service staff who were simply doing there job. It's astounding to me that people think they can treat workers however they want.What's also shocking is the race bating that occurred in @Ash Cuessy dishonest review. I am a regular at Chaupin and one the workers who was there at time this happened is also Hispanic.“
“Parking, lot... that's great If I can park, already higher, I tend to rate Visited today with a friend for a little post birthday fun Sometimes, who your with matters more when all is said and done We both ordered the waffle with mixed berry, whole and half Upon coffee order, they did not have decaf Cappuccino and vanilla latte with ice Strong, but I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to coffee order twice The waffle has a grainy texture with a touch of sweet The presentation was nice; it felt like a breakfast treat I did not try any of the items from the bakery display But, I watched others order them from far away Based on the appearance factor alone I would say the pastry chef is very talented, for I have never made a whole layer cake or macaron on my own For a date or meet-up, it is a cute spot I would recommend giving it at least one shot xoxo - Op“
“Beautiful welcoming caffe with fresh and delicious pastries. Almond croissant is crispy and just right amount of sweetness. Owner Ava is so warm and kind, it is a pleasure to meet her and her hospitality. Ambiance is done with love and great taste. I would highly recommend it.“
“My fiancé and I had such a nice time cake tasting for our elopement. They made us feel so special with champagne and a cute picture opportunity at the end. So sweet and such a nice ambiance to make a special decision even more special! Would definitely recommend!!“
“I'm absolutely hooked! Your bread is seriously the real deal. It's hard to believe it tastes so good and gluten and grain free, magic! I love your commitment to using compostable packaging. Keep up the fantastic work, you've won me over!“
“I cannot speak for other countries, but 'real' Argentines DO NOT dip their empanadas. Argentines do not dip; empanadas are not McNuggets. Argentines do not put BBQ sauce on their asado because Argentines believe empandas and meat ought to stand on the merits of preparation and not need sauces to supplement or substitute taste. For that matter, Argentines don't 'flavor' their coffee because good coffee requires no silly flavorings.Argentines also do not feel that new types of empanadas must appear constantly just because 'new and improved' is good for the economy. If new flavors of water, fifty combinations of orange juice and gimmicky hamburgers are capitalistic necessities, this explains why Argentina is always in a financial crisis.Argentines have been eating their empanadas the same way for 200 years, and the best analogy is in how Californians respect and admire In-N-Out Burger, which is good as it is and does not require obsessive novelty in their menu to justify executive salaries or keep at bay the dread of failing to maximize revenues.“
“A quaint macaroon shop, right on the California 1 Highway in Laguna Beach. After 24 macaroon varieties, all of them are gluten free with many dairy free. Each bite explodes with flavor, but is a perfect balance of sweet flavor and soft texture. As a coffee fanatic, the Colombian coffee macaron definitely hit my taste buds. Friendly staff and a warm-hearted atmosphere as you enter.Street parking is extremely limited in the area, so you may have to find a paid parking lot and take the walk to reach this macaroon and candy shop.“
“I came to SC for a family visit and they offered we go to Jadore. We were a few adults, 2 kids and a baby.As a vegan and gluten intolerant person it felt like there weren’t many options on the menu as everything has bread, cheese or meat on it.I ordered the coconut and squash soup and it tasted like Gerber baby puree. The person there which I think it one of the owners quickly replaced it with the açaí bowl which was ok and also gave us a free muffin. I really did feel like he was trying his best.Also I wouldn’t recommend this for families with younger kids as there wasn’t anything for the kids that was nutritious apart from crepes with chocolate which weren’t what I wanted my 8 and 2 year old to eat for lunch.Overall everyone said the food was ok but not great. Portion sizes were small and it was expensive.The great part was the garden in the back and the French music in the background. It could’ve been a bad day so I’m giving this 3 stars.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly unless you want to have pastries and sweet crepes with Nutella“
“This place is a hidden gem. The bakery items are all amazing, Soft fresh breads and pastries, sweet and savory options. Wonderful tea and coffee options. Friendly service, clean restaurant. We have loved everything we tried here. So glad to have found this place!“
“This was a surprise birthday gift from my hubby to me. Being diabetic, it's been really hard to get a birthday cake for me. He drove an hour there and an hour and a half back just to surprise me. He bought me a banana bread and a vanilla cake with strawberry The banana bread was a little dry but the taste was still good. It was a little more solid than we were used to. The birthday cake was fantastic. It was moist and soft and the cream was delicious!!! There was a layer of strawberry jam in it. And I can't stop saying how delicious thay was. I wasn't personally there at the bakery so I cannot comment on service and ambiance.“
“I ordered a macaroon tower and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! It was such a hit for my Christmas party and everyone agreed they were the best tasting macaroons we had ever had! They were so detailed and beautiful! I was super last minute in only ordering a few days before and so thankful she was able to fit me in and answered all my questions! Highly recommend and will be ordering again!“
“We first received advertisement in the mail and were drawn by the photo of the beautiful strawberry cream puff. Stopped by the bakery just 20 minutes before closing and most of the items were sold out. After we told the bakery owner lady that we went there for the Strawberry Cream Puff but all sold out, she went ahead to make the fresh ones for us.... What a great customer service!!! Mmmm.....the rich cream with most fresh flaky puff and beautiful fresh strawberries.... It's just soooo delicious!!! Thank you!!!“
“I have ordered/purchased numerous cakes from this location. The most recent one was for a party and when we had it, we realized we were given the wrong flavor. I shared this with them the following day and they made it right by giving me store credit for a future cake. I call that great customer service! Use and enjoy with confidence.“
“A co-worker brought me a CARROT CAKE BUNDT CAKE.The REVIEW:-- big carrot sniff-- cream cheese frosting runs down the sides of the cake from the top-- no raisins (thank you!)-- no walnuts is sad, but since it's a bundt they are not expected-- frosting is very sweet-- cake is quite moist but not ultra-moist-- cake itself is light towards medium sweet-- I split it in half and ate two different mornings with coffee since pretty sweet overall-- maybe because it is a bundt, but I prefer actual carrot cakes which are often more moist than this plus they often have walnuts-- carrot strands/shavings were present inside the cakeRATING = B+“
“Got a spam breakfast burrito, Denver croissant, and 2 apple fritters. Not the biggest burrito, but decently priced, and the eggs were so buttery and fluffy. Their croissants are big and buttery. The apples in the apple fritter are really good, too. Got served quickly and professionally around 8am on a Monday.“
“Butter+Cream Bakery made the most incredible wedding cake and desserts my wife and I have ever had! Our wedding cake was gluten-free due to my wife's allergy and it was so good that when we told people after the fact they legitimately did not believe us because Nataly's talent is so good that her gluten-free cake is still even better than anyone else's regular cake! We also had small fruit tarts, 3 flavors of macarons, & 3 types of cupcakes with amazing flower frosting on top. Each as incredible as the previous! We seriously can not recommend this place enough as it will be the best sweets you have ever had! Thank you Nataly for making our special night even more perfect!“
“Ellie's Table is a great little spot if you want a nice little brunch/lunch/snack/pastry or coffee with a quaint cafe vibe. We love Ellie's whenever we come to the OC. We used to go to the San Clemente location before it closed. This was our first time at this location. Food: 5/5 We ordered a variety of things here and each item was wonderful. I ordered the brunch burger. It was cooked to perfection and practically melted in my mouth with each bite. We also got some pastries and the lucky charms cappuccino. Everything we got was wonderful. Atmosphere: 5/5 This place has a very nice little cafe vibe. There is some seating indoors, a cool little private area upstairs and some nice seating outside lining the building. It's a nice place to hangout and visit with friends or loved ones while enjoying some food and coffee in a relaxed environment. Customer Service: 4/5 One of the employees seemed a little irritated that she was there while she rang us up. But, overall the service was ok. She was young, so I doubt that it is like this with all the employees all the time. Price: 5/5 The prices here are great for what you get. I got a massive burger with a sunny side egg for only $14. The nice palm sandwiches are only $3.50! They have items for if you want a full meal or just a little snack. They are all priced very well in my opinion. Parking: 3/5 There is a tiny parking lot behind the building. If you can't park there, you are looking for street parking or parking in another lot in the Downtown San Juan Capistrano area. This place is such a nice little OC gem. I highly recommend if you are on a trip or even a local!“
