    French baguette
    Bernadette Y.

    Went in late in the afternoon and was fortunate to grab a French baguette. It was delicious and the next day, had a nice chewy crust on it. The lady behind the counter was helpful. I don't know if she's normally in the back, but she was very informative about the ingredients they use. I would keep going back for this baguette if I could. For $6, it's definitely a treat. I wish I could get one everyday!

    Spinach cheese croissant

    My daughter wanted a chocolate croissant for her birthday breakfast, so I went to Chaupain to pick up a pain au chocolat. While I was there, I also bought a jalapeño cheddar croissant, spinach cheese croissant and a slice of carrot cake. The croissants were good, especially since I heated them up before eating. The carrot cake was OK (they have better pastries in the case). Glad to have this bakery nearby! Unlike some other places, I haven't encountered any long lines and there's easy parking in the lot.

    Pastries

    Chaupain Bakery is a hidden gem in Laguna Woods. Their pastries are really fresh and like a little taste of France in every bite. We got the strawberry envelope and Nutella pastry. They were both great with flaky pastry that melts in your mouth. The strawberry envelope was the star with the fresh strawberries and creamy custard. The service was impeccable with Bell and Charisse. They had great recommendations and even gave us a few extra pastries! Super kind!! Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a must try.

    It had been more than three years since I last stopped here. This place has high-quality ingredients and heavenly pastries. I ordered the French breakfast wrap which had harissa and cream cheese in it. The cream cheese in a wrap was new for me. I ate the sandwich with salami and arugula- so fresh! I bought some pastries and they were so light and tasteful. Lots of outdoor seating and friendly employees.

    Bavarian chocolate croissant and pecan roll
    Francine H.

    Situated in a strip mall, there is plenty of parking. The place is clean and the service is quick and friendly. We have tried items here before, and since it was so good, we had to go back. We decided on the sourdough loaf to take home for sandwiches and toast. It's so delicious and toasts up crispy. We got 2 pastries, a Bavarian chocolate croissant and pecan sticky roll. The croissant is filled with custard, is light and crispy. It's my favorite! The pecan roll is also very good, and I highly recommend with a cup of coffee in the morning. We also got banana bread with walnuts. So moist and yummy!! Everything we have ever tried has been good here. We will be back!

    It's my lucky day! Got a FREE Rice Krispy AND a second danish for FREE! :)) | IG @moniquedao

    Longtime fan here, and for good reason. This place consistently delivers some of the best pastries in town. Their danishes might actually be the best: perfectly crisp, flaky, and just the right amount of sweet without being over the top. Pair that with their seasonal PSL (which they absolutely nail every year), and it's basically my ideal morning. The service is always friendly no matter which spot I visit -- and I've been to all their locations! It's nice walking in and feeling that same welcoming vibe every time. If you're looking for amazing pastries, great coffee, and consistently kind service, this place never misses.

    We came across this bakery while exploring downtown San Clemente. It's cute and French inspired, and I appreciate that they make their bread fresh. While I didn't sample any of their baked items this time around, they did look good. I came in because I was in the mood for a cappuccino. I ordered from Angus (who was cheerfully greeting everyone who came through the door!), and while they don't make cappuccinos, he was nice enough to make me a latte with extra foam on top. It was good, no complaints!

    Ham & Bacon Quiche Peach Tart
    Morgan W.

    Large portions, wonderful selection of cheeses, bakery items, drinks etc. really loved the Quiche!

    The BEST quiche and pastries!
    Sue B.

    We've been remiss in writing a review for our visit on 2/25/26. We came for breakfast in the morning and just warmly greeted us when we came in. He was so friendly! They weren't very busy at the moment so we had a little time to chat. We ordered a bacon leek and mushroom quiche with a side salad mocha's, and two chocolate ELFROY croissants. Since we're older, we don't eat as much as we used to, so we told Justine we would split the quiche. He brought out the quiche, the salad and bread split beautifully on two plates. We so enjoyed our breakfast! Later, he came out to check on us and shared his favorite raspberry chocolate bread with us. It was delicious. We will definitely be back every time we're in California for a visit. This is our can't miss spot!

    Strawberry Envelope
    Kaylee S.

    My visit turned out to be such a pleasant surprise! I stopped by over the weekend and tried the Pistachio Chocolate Croissant. This is inspired by Dubai chocolate and is only available on weekends. The flavor of the chocolate shell and pistachio cream was well-balanced, it was not overly sweet. I also got the pistachio caramel pastry which was topped with a caramel-flavored cream. This leaned sweeter than the croissant but was also good. I was also surprised to receive a Strawberry Envelope on the house. As for the space, it's bright and clean. There's seating both inside and outside, with plenty of outdoor tables, and the counter-style ordering makes service quick and easy.

    Almost a full case, great selection today
    Wayne T.

    One of my favorite southern California bakery. This was my first time coming to this location. I was shocked when we arrived at 930 am on a Sunday and there was only 1 person in line. Normally there's a line,and the selection is sometimes sparse. Today everything was available. The people working seemed much more relaxed. Everything tasted so fresh. The pastries were delicious and buttery. I tell all my friends to stop by. There's a place to eat outside, which all the tables were taken. Too bad this location is so far from my kids house.

    Thanks to a fellow Yelpie's review,I decided to try Chaupain. It's tucked away in laguna hills. We came during the weekend and they were busy inside and out. There were plenty of parking and seating. Service was great. The pastries were placed neatly in a large brown box. I got the Dubai Chocolate croissant. The croissant was flaky and filled inside with a pistachio cream. It was a bit much for me. I was missing the kataifi crunch. Nonetheless, the rest of my family loved their treat! We will be back!

    Croissants (chocolate panache, spinach/cheese, ham/cheese), guava/cheese pastry, blackberry danish?, and cream cheese cinnamon pastry
    Christine L.

    Doing the SD-LA drive again and made the rest stop here. Picked out more croissants, a cheese pastry, Danish, and a raspberry cake shaped like a heart for informal CNY gathering at grandpa's house. Cake was a big hit with everyone and we always regret not getting more pastries lol.

The service has always been extremely accommodating and the one time I've been disappointed in my original order selling out and having to wait too long for the final dish, they went out of their way to make sure I was given extra fries (which are excellent) and extra things to dip my heaping scoop of hummus into.
