I visited a few days ago and was pretty disappointed in my experience. I ordered the chocolate croissant which was alright, the cinnamon roll, and an iced maple latte. I was very disappointed with the cinnamon roll. I wanted to like it so bad but the icing did not taste like it went with the cinnamon roll itself. I was only able to take 2 bites before throwing it away. I wanted an ice vanilla latte but was told they don't serve that so I got the maple latte which was actually pretty good. Overall I don't think this place was worth it for the price and was underwhelmed with baked sourdough products. I will say the ambiance was pretty cool in the bakery and outdoor seating was nice. read more

It is truly a beautiful space! The interior has a gorgeous stone bar and it's lovely to watch bakers work on the other side of the glass partition where you can see the pastries displayed. They also have a beautiful patio- very serene and covered in vines and the loveliest trees. The pastries are truly beautiful looking and we chose the following: turkey cheese croissant, cinnamon roll, and an impulse purchase vegetable quiche. For those 3 items it was $40 with tip, which was a little shocking even in this economy! I have to say- and I love sourdough- but I did not really care for the croissant or the cinnamon roll. The croissant was dense, and sorry, I didn't get the flakiness that you'd typically see in laminated doughs. The cinnamon roll was also dry, not plush or soft, and it didn't have the sticky caramelization I dream of in a cinnamon roll. The quiche was the star and one of the best I've had- custardy, rich, and well-seasoned. Was it worth $20 though? I dunno. We had children with us and we were met with a few frowns from patrons on the patio. In short, gorgeous space and pricey food that doesn't yet deliver on flavor. read more

We tried Eller for the first time this morning. I got their kannelbullar and maple latte and my friend got the butter croissant. Overall everything was fine, I would say the latte was my favorite thing I ordered. That said, I do think that this place is a bit overhyped for what it is. You have to valet even if you are getting coffee and pastries to go, and there is no seating available unless you are dining in for their breakfast or lunch menu. This makes it seem a bit silly to have to valet in the first place. The place was also a bit overwhelming by the sheer number of employees there were. We felt like they were all giving us different answers--it took 3 different people to let us know they don't have decaf. Again, everyone was very kind and friendly, but we just found it a bit odd. read more

I see a few social media videos so I wanted to like this place. It's ok. Took a cinnamon roll home and thought it would be soft and fresh. But it was dense, not at all what I hoped it would be. read more

Eller Bakery looked crazy nice online and in real life. Definitely one of those cool chill spots to enjoy a some coffee and pastries if you're working remotely. Sourdough cinnamon roll wasn't my favorite. Maybe because I was expecting it to taste like a classic cinnamon roll. Looked real good but 3/5 for me. Had the Vermont maple latte iced, tasted like milk and creamer, no coffee flavor or maple tbh. 1/5 If I'm in the area I'd go back and try some other items. read more

I love the vermont maple latte, but when i got it for the first time it was too milky for my liking. when i went back, i asked the sweet girl who took my order to put in less milk, and she recommended getting a cortado instead of a latte. i've always been scared it won't have enough milk, but it's PERFECT! i dream about this drink. so yummy! i also like their breakfast egg wrap. very unique and DELICIOUS! i tried their sourdough cinnamon roll, it was pretty good, but i could go without it. was fun to try. they have lots of seating, and their staff was all pretty nice. i've been back 3 times in the same month because of that cortado. SO YUM!! read more

The ambience at this coffee shop is definitely its highlight -- vibey, inviting, and a nice place to relax. The drinks were okay, but nothing that really stood out, especially for the price point, which felt a bit high for what you get. Service was decent -- not the warmest, but also not unfriendly. Overall, a good spot if you're looking for atmosphere, but the coffee itself and value could be improved. For comparison, there's another coffee shop right behind it called Wilson's Coffee that serves ethically sourced coffee at an extremely reasonable price point, and the barista there is always friendly and welcoming. Worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Nice little bakery known for their sourdough croissant which I had to try! The croissant was flaky and a good sourdough flavor coming through. Their iced lattes are pretty good as well. Service was very friendly and the ambiance was very welcoming. You could see all the equipment they use to make their bread. Only downside would be that parking is very limited and their baked goods tend to sell out fast. read more

Saw this place on Instagram and saw how amazing the cinnamon rolls looked. Every time I tried to get one they were sold out. Finally woke up early enough to get it. The man taking me order was extremely nice to the couple in front of me but ended up have a rude attitude towards me. I found it off putting and honestly disappointing. Unfortunately because I've been wanting to try this cinnamon roll, I sucked it up. I got the banana bread latte and cinnamon roll and it was $16... The latte was pretty good, I would get it again. The cinnamon roll however was not very good. The roll itself was stale and dry while the frosting was kinda salty. It was kinda bad and I don't think I would get it again. It lacked flavor and the texture was off read more

I was looking forward to trying out their pastries but was disappointed when I finally was able to. I got the cinnamon roll and an oat milk cappuccino. - The sourdough cinnamon roll was like a 2-5 and it really did not live up to the hype. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry for my liking. It's also served cold, which was another reason I didn't enjoy it. Wouldn't recommend. - The coffee was ok and a bit sour so wasn't a fan of the beans. I was sad it was mediocre because the interior is so nice and beautiful. Wouldn't go again unfortunately, especially if it's a hassle. read more

Really wanted to love this place, especially after seeing all the hype about it online but unfortunately this wasn't it. Arrived in the early afternoon on a Wednesday and most of their baked goods were gone, so we opted for their coffee crumb cake and a pumpkin latte. After spending $20, I can confidently say that this isn't worth the hype. Their crumb cake was dry, hard to eat and dense and the coffee was at $9 was incredibly overpriced. I do hope we can try their cinnamon rolls one day but won't be holding my breath. There are so many mom and pop shops that are better. read more

I've been visiting Eller Bakery for a long time. I used to enjoy their pastries (made with freshly milled flour) at Herst Coffee or Eller. To everyone in Newport Beach and nearby areas who has made this their go-to spot for a wholesome, seed oil-free bakery, please be aware that there is a new owner who will no longer be milling their own flour. You will now be consuming products made with refined flour, which detracts from what made this place special for its customers. Time to find a new spot!!! read more

Im giving this place a 5/5 due to the ambiance that is hard to find in a lot of cafes that are not in SF, NYC, or LA. It feels CALM, CLEAN, & peaceful. The first time I came here I thought there was only indoor seating but there's seating in the back OUTSIDE! There's also shade. This is great spot to bring your little one as I find it easier chasing them outside than inside. Also fresh air is plus for mom and baby! I wonder who designed this space as they did an incredible job! Drop the name so I can follow their work! Their desserts are inspired by Western Europe. I haven't looked into their ingredients to see if their are any weird ingredients like other cafes but I feel way better eating pastries here than most cafes! They have bread you can take home. They also have small plates good for brunch if you want more than pastries! You order at the front. The service feels nice too and not pretentious! One of my favorite places to go for a cafe! There's parking in the front of the cafe and also the back! read more

Could not find a place to park or sit. Both spaces are extremely limited. Wait times were quite long.

I'll start off with the positive. It is a beautifully designed bakery. In other words instagrammable. But don't believe the hype from Instagram. The pastries were an abomination. I got the cinnamon roll, which had the consistency of playdough. And the sourdough croissant tasted like Goldfish snacks. Now tasting like Goldfish snacks sound like a compliment. I assure you it's not. I didn't try any of the breakfast items or drinks but hope it tastes better than their baked goods which come at an extortionate price. $25 for a cinnamon roll, croissant and a turkey cheese croissant. read more

Unbelievable this place doesn't have 5 stars. I think it's being reviewed by people who either don't appreciate quality food or don't want to pay for it. Eller bakery is fantastic. We need more places like this. My favorites are everything so far but I really love the carrot cake! read more

Parking is fantastic if you have excellent parking karma like I do. If you don't then you might want to take an Uber. Service is great. Food is fast. Outdoor dining is easy. If there were waiters up selling while dining it would be a bonus. We always want more but don't want to wait in line a second time. read more

Very nice bakery with a cool vibe. Enjoyed the coffee cake, which was fine, but nothing special. IMO, Starbucks is better. The sourdough croissant was really good though. One of the best croissants I have ever had. The coffee (we had drip) was fine, nothing special. Purchased a sourdough boucle which we were disappointed in. At first we thought it was rye flour, but I think maybe it was just a whole grain flour that made it taste off and gave very little of the sourdough tang we enjoy. It was really expensive too. Won't buy that again. So unless you are just looking for your food to be more on the macro side, the baked goods might not taste as you might be accustomed to at traditional bakeries. read more

Ignoring the bad reviews, I went in anyway specifically for the sourdough cinnamon roll. I had skipped breakfast and also ordered the French omelet to go. I can't speak for the waiting service but my order was ready in no more than fifteen minutes but I did have to go back to request utensils and napkins. I wish the potatoes that come with the omelet had more of a crisp, they were kind of chewy at the edges from being roasted. The omelet itself was pretty standard and well seasoned. As far as the cinnamon roll, I would rather have this alternative somewhat healthier version of a cinnamon roll but I'm accustomed to very little sugar. I agree with some of the reviews, this is not for someone who wants a super sweet cinnamon roll. Several tables inside if you'd rather eat there, it's an open concept vibe. The only downside was the parking situation, I don't know if they have designated parking in the back but there is only four spaces in the front. read more

This place is so cute for a girls day or to work. The maple latte was absolutely delicious & I ordered the egg salad sandwich that could definitely feed two.

Parking is limited but seating is widely available. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The vermont maple latte was very maple-y and nothing special. The almond croissant was chunky, thick, and very sweet. My friend got the egg crepe which was unique and yummy. Glad I got to try it when I was in the area, but wouldn't drive over to get it again. read more

Found this bakery on Instagram and visited on Easter Sunday. It was a lovely experience. Nice indoor and outdoor ambiance. Service was really quick as they can take your order while you wait in line. I was looking forward to the sourdough cinnamon rolls but they were already sold out for the day but I didn't miss out on the other goodies they had left. I got the chocolate croissant, plain croissant, chocolate chip cookie, brownie, a turnover and a slice of chocolate carrot cake. To top it all off the Vermont maple latte was the best latte I had in a very long time. Look forward to coming back again. read more

So there is no way to order online, no way to call, I have to drive over to get a chicken pot pie at 1:30. Oh wait they're out. What a waste of my time. Figure it out, do better! read more

Food is over priced and very mid. I had one of the cinnamon rolls and they serve it to you cold with the frosting not even close to being melted onto it, also making for one of the least enjoyable cores. I had a few bites of my friend's omelette and can't imagine why anyone would pay close to the price they are selling it for. The coffee was alright (6/10). They bring it out to you in a timely manner so that is a plus. read more

Wow! Not going to lie, only found this place because of TikTok and it truly did not disappoint. Actually exceeded my expectations in all the best ways. Firstly, parking lot was small and fit about 6-7 cars total but somehow I managed to get a spot right up front as soon as I pulled up. Walked in at around 11am to no line and the nicest staff. We ordered, paid and was sat inside with a perfect view of the kitchen. I say perfect view because the interior is stunning and very aesthetic. Being able to see the bakers working their magic really added to the whole experience. #1 Cinnamon Roll - MUST GET!!!!!! The best cinnamon roll I have ever tasted and the special thing about this is that it's made with sourdough. The cream cheese frosting is airy and fluffy. They warm it up and it's just the most heavenly treat. I regret not getting on to-go. Will continue to have Eller Cinnamon Roll dreams until I come back # 2 The Two Egg Breakfast Really good hearty breakfast plate that comes with sourdough with butter/jam, eggs, crusty potatoes and a side of protein. I got the chicken sausage (bombbbb!!!) and opted for eggs scrambled. So good!!! Scramble was so creamy and topped with sea salt flakes. Chefs kiss!!! #3 Vermont Maple Latte Pretty good but a little sweet for my liking. Espresso was good but not as strong as I would've liked it to be. Overall, would get this again just maybe 1/2 sweet. I am not really a brunch person and there's no brunch place that I truly like/enjoy but Eller has changed this. ELLER BAKERY is it. Can't wait to come back read more

Great food, lattes and vibe. Pastries and breakfast options are excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Drove here from up north for the store to be closed at 4pm. Since there were conflicting times of when it closed I decided to go to their own website which stated it was closed at 8pm. Just to make sure I called the phone number on the site as well and the machine said 8pm. Drove here and it was empty ! Please fix your site and answering machine. Driving 3 1/2 to eat here is a lot of dedication for it to be ruined by a simple mistake. Now I'm driving back home hangry looking for an alternative! read more

My family found this place on social media and told me about how they were so excited to visit, but I feel bamboozled. This place has a line out the door at 7AM but doesn't have everything ready until 9AM. We arrived before noon and they were out of all bakery items by 10AM. The bakery is beautiful, the customer service is good, the food is clean since they don't use refined sugars, but that's about all there is good to say. We stayed for breakfast and it was so terrible that we have no desire to return. All of our food had no flavor and the sourdough tasted like cardboard. Adding salt didn't help and the pepper didn't even have flavor. read more

So much hype and such a let down. Coffee connoisseur here and have been easily to over 200 coffee shops around the world. Costa Mesa is a coffee town and this is on the lower end of the list for me. Prices aren't shown but a guesstimate based on $30 for 2 coffees and 2 pastries. Dry pastries just like the employees. Not a welcoming vibe or appreciation and the owner was there. Sourdough cinnamon roll $7 - dry and she refused to heat it up. Banana bread $7 - had coconut or something grainy in it and also dry with old faint banana flavor and more pineapple like. I assume they resell leftovers bc the girl was wrapping the leftover pastries/bread (30 mins before closing) or if they have a discounted day old bread section it's not advertised. Coffee is one size and questionably 16oz - maybe 12oz based on the to go cup. Very inconsistent on measurements of milk, syrup and espresso or ice. $8 each Vermont maple coffees. Decor is nice and aesthetically pleasing but it doesn't make up for the overpriced, mid pastries, service or coffee. Wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend even as a one time check out. read more

First time visiting and it won't be my last. Arrived around 8:00 am and found the place to be almost empty, which I loved. I brought my laptop and such to do work, although I soon found out that there are no outlets (I was prepared for) and no Wi-Fi (was not exactly prepared for). I found a table first before ordering. While this was fine since it was pretty dead, I learned to not do this when it's busy! They have numbered tables that they seat you at after ordering, so this is more of a restaurant style cafe. They specialize in sourdough based pastries that they make in house. They all looked delicious but I was most excited to try the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was really tasty and soft. My only wish was that it was warmed up slightly. I ordered the specialty Banana Bread Latte which was recommended to me by the staff member since I prefer sweet lattes. It definitely tasted like banana bread but wasn't too overpowering of a taste and was just the right amount of sweetness. There were some crumbly bits that I felt towards the end that I didn't particularly like. The place started getting really busy around 9:30 am so expect finding parking to be tricky anytime after 9:00 am. As I left, I took a peek at what others had ordered. Many had the breakfast plate which looked really yummy. Will def need to try the next time I go. read more
