Great bakery! Service was fast and helpful as well. But most importantly, the food. The pumpkin pie was not overly sweet and you really get to enjoy the pumpkin flavor with the right amount of sugar to enhance all the spices. Apple Almond tart very light and flaky. Not super dense like most others I've tried. The BEST item by far is the baguette! Crispy crust with a light airy center. The best French baguette I've ever had and I will definitely be back for more. If you go, DO NOT get just one. You'll regret not getting two! Enjoy! read more

C'est Si Bon Bakery - Apple Almond Tart and Pumpkin pie - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I love it here, every time. Staff is fantastic. Food is amazing. You can't beat the prices. They have my favorite iced tea. There is more of a local and mature demographic here, mostly. It's often busy but the line moves quickly if people order quickly. This is my favorite place to grab a quick great bite and tea/coffee. read more

To get an accurate review of C'est Si Bon is to look at three components of the establishment: the bakery, the location, and the service. Let's start with the best part: The bakery. This is a very authentic French bakery with a huge variety of pastries and breads. Those who work in this section of the business do a fantastic job and in my eyes earn a A+. The service is complicated. Although the employees are friendly and well-trained, the system is at fault. To order, you must stand behind a sign and wait for someone to say, "Next?" Then you approach the front counter and order. The problem is people walk right in front of you as you approach the front and cut in line in front of you. It forces you to confront others and say, "I was first." I had to do this with two women you rudely walked around the line, jumped in front of everyone by ignoring the line. I ordered one item for here and one to go. She gave me both items in bags. I had to wait in line to ask for a plate, then I had to ask for a fork and knife. They ran out and had to restock the forks. I went to another spot in the restaurant for a napkin and sugar for my latte. More people, more excuse me, etc. We had to sit outside at a dirty table, for I had to wipe it down andremove some clothing someone had left there. It was a huge ordeal to find a place to sit and enjoy such great pastries. Service gets a C- It is a large place inside, but no chairs and no table inside. There is only a counter with stools. This makes it impossible for a handicapped person to sit in a chair inside the bakery. If you go outside, you must clean your own tables. I noticed that there were no handicapped access ramps or parking anywhere around the bakery. You must walk from the business to the right around the corner. I'm not sure if that is legal but the owner said it is. The bathrooms are outside. I waited with someone else for the key to be returned. We waited and waited. I mentioned it to the employees that we had been waiting a long time, and I pounded on the door,and there was no answer. I resolved to use the women's restroom. The location for me was an F. My suggestion is to visit Moulin and see how to create a patron friendly location to make the whole experience a better one. Create a nicer environment to enjoy such a great place. read more

Such a cute spot! The sandwiches were good but I think the appeal of this place is definitely the ambiance and friendly service! I'm a real big fan of the carrot cake!! read more

This is a great stop for a sandwich, salad, bakery item, or specialty drink. Their bread is fresh and fabulous! There is limited parking (but public parking nearby if you can't find a spot). The line starts outside and you wait for an employee, behind the counter, to call up the next person. Your order is circled on a bag (photo attached). I love this idea so it comes out exactly as you requested. Bakery items and drinks are ordered with an array of choices. We had the turkey sandwich on a croissant (10/10). I loved the fact your sandwich comes cut in half with EACH half wrapped separately- such a great idea! We also had a slice of carrot cake (moist and full of flavor 10/10) and their chocolate mousse bomb cake (creamy smooth 10/10). Seating is outside only with an inviting ambiance of calmness and fresh air. There is also seating behind by a gorgeously painted wall mural. This was an incredible first visit that will draw me back again. read more

Croissant great. Flaky, so fresh! But Roast Beef sandwich was Terrible. Meat was old read more

I love a good bakery/coffee shop combo. The pastries here are delicious and fresh. I got the cinnamon twist, which is one of their most popular and it was great. They are known for their chai tea latte - which is made from their powder in house and you can choose to add a shot of espresso for that extra caffeine. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor area is really nice on a warm day. The service was quick and fast as well. read more

I returned to C'est Si Bon with my wife and we shared a sandwich for lunch: a 12 inch with curry chicken on a fresh baguette, with provolone, tomato, cucumber, lettuce and dijon mustard. It was a very filling sandwich and delicious. It was messy too, which I liked. The curry chicken was very well prepared and there was plenty of it. The outdoor area is a really nice place to have the sandwich with a pleasant ambiance, especially on such a beautiful day. Indoors is more hustle and bustle, with people milling about waiting for their order. The reason for the 4 vs. 5 star is the staff on this visit were really brusque. We were served by a woman when it wasn't busy (no one was behind us) and she ticked the boxes on the bag, took the payment and turned away from us and the counter abruptly without acknowledging us. It's great food so I would return but I won't expect much next time on the service side of things. read more

Amazing little spot for fantastic sandwiches, a decent coffee and good bakery treats. Get there early or it's slim pickings!

I visited this bakery yesterday. The bakery is in a nice location in Newport Beach. The exterior of the building is nice The bakery closes at 4:30. We arrived late and realized there was hardly any pastries left. The chocolate croissant we ordered tasted excellent. The iced latte was good as well. However, I was dissapointed that this bakery is not handicapped friendly. There is not any handicapped parking in front of the bakery. In addition, there is not a ramp in front of the bakery for easy access. There is also no low level chairs inside the bakery, only stools. If you walk with a cane, you have to site outside. read more

Blonde girl calling out names for order pick up today (wed oct 29) is hurting your business. When receiving my sandwich I kindly asked if I could buy a cookie as well. Before I could even finish she rudely blurted "you'll have to wait in the line again" and points to order line. She had been rude to others as well. Very cold and annoyed at everyone. Clearly dealing with human customers is very stressful to her. Maybe have her work in the back. Or find a job which requires no interaction with people. I've bought stuff before at pick up without rude (or maybe just lazy) employee response. It's ok to be kind to your customer and be grateful for their business. Just letting you know she is a bad look for a place I love read more

Sadly when we went to pick up the sandwiches we ordered we didn't take them out of the bag to check. After driving home (25 minutes) I opened the bag to find someone else's order inside. I'm very disappointed because every time we've come the sandwiches have been great! The incorrect order I received cost much less than I paid for my order. You can clearly see in the picture the contents were not what was ordered on the bag. Seriously-check the bag to the sandwich you're putting insid read more

Great sandwiches, coffee and outdoor ambience sit down. It can get busy in the parking lot. If you're not good at parking your car in a tight spot with people that are clueless could be frustrating, but it's definitely worth going. They have a lot of options. Wonderful pastries in great staff. read more

The best sandwich I've ever had. Been going here my entire life and have yet to meet a better sandwich. The only ones that compare are the ones I had summering in Provence growing up. There are other amazing things on the menu as well so if you're visiting for the first time make sure you get curious about the baked goods! read more

Tried this place twice after a Pilates class. Only came back because the iced dirty chai latte was okay and it's the closest coffee shop. After the second visit I decided to no longer return. Most of the male employees have the worst customer service personality. Kind of like if you're bothering them if you ask something about the menu. I get being busy, but the line wasn't long. Some of the girls were welcoming to customers. So the male employees should really take note. Their almond croissant was not good. It was really dry and nothing compared to bag of cakes. Location was convenient but I'd rather drive 5 min and get a warm welcoming in the morning. Not what ever this is was. read more

Went there for the first time a few days ago we were staying at the beach found them one of the Best sandwiches i ever had Amazing could not stop telling friends about this place then I found out Irvine Ranch market on the Balboa Island had the Bread bought a couple of loafs for our cheese plates When we come back that is definitely a place to go to 5 stars read more

We saw the huge line on a Saturday at noon - summer about to blossom - and we were concerned that we would never make it through the line and actually get any food. We were reassured by our dear friends that in fact, this place is highly efficient and used to long lines, big crowds and serving everyone. we endured and indeed the line moved quickly. Before we knew it, Jorge was taking our sandwich and coffee order and we paid. We went into an ample waiting area in which other Newport Beach families and non-Newport Beach residents. We were waiting patiently as music pumped and the vibes were good. Indeed our order was processed quickly and we got our to go lunch. Prices were good enough modern age pricing. With a smile on her face and a coffee in hand, we exited this pleasant busy rock 'n' roll café, jumped into our cars and sped off to the beach. The sandwich on the croissant was amazing. The sandwich on the baguette was equally delightful. Great staff, fresh bread, good food and decent pricing. read more

After ordering a $14 sandwich, I simply asked for the smallest tiny little sample taste of their roast beef. I said she could give me a piece the size of a quarter. She said somebody in the back said no. I asked to speak to the person in the back. An older bearded man appeared, who seemed to be in charge. He explained he could not give me the quarter size sample of roast beef because all the samples for the sandwiches are pre-sized. He made a big deal out of it. He finally gave me the tiny piece of roast beef. I'll never go back there again. Bad business practice. And the roast beef was very dry. read more

My favorite French bakery in the OC. My favorites here: - baguette has a beautiful crunch with lightness - epi is also a favorite and great for individual servings - croissants, both regular and chocolate, are fantastic - cinnamon twist is my absolute favorite and always sold out by afternoon unfortunately - turkey sandwich on baguette with provolone, Dijon, all the vegetables plus a balsamic on the side read more

This lil gem is a great find and I wasn't surprised so see a lot of people in line on a mid Sunday morning. It's in a little shopping strip with limited parking yet I always saw a space open. You could smell the baguettes freshly baked. I came here for a sando and coffee but everything looked amazing. One thing I really appreciated was that their sandwiches come with sprouts and you don't see that too often anymore! There is just something about sprouts on a sandwich that locks in the flavor and makes it tases so fresh. I got black ham with provolone and lettuce/cucumbers. You can select whatever you like on it including the condiments. Simple yet effective with quality ingredients. And it was so good. What a great lil find. Check them out if you're close by. The food came out pretty quick and the service was excellent. There was seating outside and the weather was perfect making for a great place after a day on the water for a nice snack and or coffee. Can't wait to go back. read more

This is hands down the best bakery in Newport! Paul has truly made it the top local spot. Everything here is exceptional, from their iced dirty chai lattes to their fresh croissants and sandwiches. Their freshly baked peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies are amazing. The bomb cake is always delicious, and I love it when they create personalized sugar cookies for each holiday. The service is outstanding--shout out to Sophia, Zoe, and Jorge! Don't let the line deter you; they move quickly, so it's worth the wait. I also appreciate the option to order your sandwich ahead of time during the week for easy pick-up, which really saves time. There's a lovely courtyard where you can enjoy your delicious pastry and coffee outside, soaking in the quaint and peaceful vibes. I highly recommend picking up a few baguettes to take home as well! read more

We had a nice breakfast that was reasonably priced on the patio. Service: Order at the counter, they will give you a pager when your order is ready for you to pick up. Their pastry case looked amazing; we bought an almond croissant that did not disappoint. After breakfast, we browsed in their little shop which had all kinds of gifts, candles, and other items. It was quaint. read more

The best cold coffee and the freshest, most soft baguettes you could have. Great ambience and customer service. It gets busy, but well worth the wait. It's almost like taking a trip to Paris to have the best breach and coffee. read more

This place has always been a favorite amongst the teachers - we love getting them a nice treat and this place is perfect for that

C'est Si Bon always has a line, and it's easy to see why. This is the perfect spot to grab a quality sandwich before or after a beach day. Since the wait can be a bit long, I usually order online or call ahead if I'm short on time. While I haven't tried their drinks, their sandwiches and pastries are top-notch. My go-to sandwich: a 9"-12" baguette with turkey, Swiss, mayo, lettuce, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. It's consistently delicious and filling without feeling too heavy. The service is friendly, and the simple, rustic decor adds to the charm. read more

Great spot for some bread and pastries. One of my favorite stops when I am in the area on a bike ride. The line looks long at time but move quickly. read more

Excellent French Bakery! Discovered this place after eating at a local Costa Mesa Deli (Globe) and being amazed by their baguettes! The source - C'est Si! I have made a few visits now. See service is excellent and although there seems to always be a line, it moves. Great system for how they take and process orders. Most croissants and breads come out of the back warm, nothing better than warm bread! Lots of desserts to select from as well. Looking for a sandwich or salad for lunch? This is your place. We have tried a few sandwiches, fresh on fresh bread. Nice choices. Coffee drinks are wonderful. Brought home two slices of pumpkin pie, looked so pretty and tasted amazing! Hubby asked if I bought a whole pie (they sell whole pies!) and I was wishing I had too! Prices are very reasonable especially for the quality and location! Parking is ample and I had had no issues finding a spot each time I have visited. Most take their orders to go and are in and out quickly. Excellent business. I will be back again and again! read more

I can't believe I've never rated this place. Perfect white chocolate mocha and a veggie sandwich for our morning walk at the Back Bay!

Hi. I ordered a chocolate bomb cake for our friends anniversary dinner. I told them I would pick it up Saturday 7/5 @4 pm. Paid over the phone. Gave all my info. No problem. Except. When I arrived to pick it up. In large writing they closed at 3:30 pm due to holiday weekend. What? Why did no one call me to come get my cake earlier?? I almost lost my mind!!! Yes they were still there cleaning up and I called and got a live person who came out and handed me my cake like it was no big deal. But come on people. Dont scare me. Cake was Delicious by the way. read more

The baguette is sooooo good - and sandwiches are fresh, filled and delicious. Preferred Turkey over ham but the chicken curry and tarragon are popular! Always get mustard & balsamic vin. Expect long wait times during peak lunch hours - it's the perfect picnic at beach food or there's plenty of outdoor seating. One of the best deli spots in OC! read more

Our first time here, and we came for brunch. We tried the regular coffee, a custom turkey sandwich, a cheese and jam whole wheat bagel, and the seasonal salad (we originally asked for the green mix salad, but it wasn't available). We loved the quality of the salad--especially the fresh sprouts--and the bread was incredibly fresh. The staff were friendly and patiently advised us on what to order, offering helpful recommendations from the menu. The outdoor seating area is pleasant and cozy, with the soothing sound of a water fountain in the background. We truly enjoyed the delicious food and the great company of our friends on a beautiful sunny day in the Newport Beach area! read more

Worst dining experience I've ever had :( I have a very severe nut allergy, and there are no disclosures of any allergens on their menu at all. I ordered a sandwich that didn't have nuts in the description and bit into a whole walnut and went into anaphylactic shock. I let the staff know, and they told me to go use the restroom outside the establishment. I was left there for 20 minutes before one of my family members came to drive me to the ER. I work in food service, and it's protocol to call the costumer an ambulance if they have an allergic reaction of any kind, let alone going into shock that would kill me which I did tell them. So either they don't care about their costumers, or they don't have food handlers cards. If I didn't have someone to drive me to the hospital so close to me, and the ER being only a few minutes away I would have died in that restaurant's outside restroom because they genuinely did not care about my wellbeing. I was actively swelling and barely able to speak when I told the wait staff but not even water was provided. It was the most terrible and traumatic experience of my life. read more
