We ordered 3 croissants, cream and jalapeño, Turkey and cheese, Turkey and cheese jalapeño, and a green Thai tea. All the croissants felt like there was too much bread and not enough filling. I had to eat more than half of the bread to find very little cream cheese inside. The bread on this croissant is better than the one for the Turkey and cheese though. Green Thai tea was good but I the regular is much better. Green Thai tea has a more floral taste, kinda reminds me of pandan-ish.

Nothing disappoints and it's like I'm trying all these brilliantly laminated pastries for the first time. Nothing will ever be as good as the first time. But each bite here is the first bite. Great French cafe style mugs for the coffee. The bill can run up a little but they deserve it if not more. There's no wholesale dough found at this place. If I could make croissants like theirs I can die happy and proud.

Daughter and I had hoped to purchase some blueberry scones for a small tea party we were hosting…read more The bakery didn't have any scones available, but was thinking of bringing them back. They did have fresh blueberry muffins just out of the oven. The helpful gentleman also went over what croissants were available and daughter chose the popular pistachio croissant and an almond croissant. She also got 3 Madeleines for the tea party and wished to try the Pear Charlotte which the very pleasant man affirmed was a good choice. The madeleines had a mild citrus taste and was well liked. One of our guests asked to take one home with her. The croissants were amazing and we will need to get the almond chocolate one next time. The Pear Charlotte is a cake filled with cream surrounded by what appears to be lady fingers topped with a thick pear slice. We had not asked for pricing, but receipt shows the bakery is pricey.

Parking lot is small with the post office and a handful of other businesses all sharing the same few spaces. So be prepared to circle the lot or park on the street and walk when you visit. I ordered a 9 inch ham with provolone, had lettuce, tomato, sprouts, mustard and mayo on the fresh baguette. Solid sandwich it had enough meat and cheese to satisfy me which was a little surprising. The baguette was light and tasty, the veggies were fresh and crisp. Overall the sandwich was a solid 9 out of 10, and I am something of a sandwich snob. Tables and chairs outside in the area between the buildings were convenient seating to eat our sandwiches. I'm very impressed and will definitely return the next time I am in the area and looking for a sandwich.

Overall, still interested in coming back to try the sandwiches and baked goods since those looked especially promising.

Friends and I weren't craving donuts while in Newport, so we decided on Milk & Cookies to satisfy…read moreour sweet treat cravings. You could tell the cashier was ready to go home, but I found her endearing. She was very helpful and provided descriptions of some of the cookies they had displayed. My friend got the cowboy cookie and I got the M&M cookie. We both opted out of enjoying our cookies with milk, which I guess defeats the purpose.. but the cookies were warm and tasty. They were a great size for a decent price.

They…read moreoffer a wide variety of flavors, and the best part is that the cookies are always served warm. The Order: * My Go-To: I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. * Variety: They have every flavor of milk, ice cream, and cookies you could want. Timing & Atmosphere: * Avoid Weekends: I would not recommend coming here on a weekend. The store is tiny, and because it's right next to all the bars, the area gets crowded with a lot of drunk people. If that isn't your scene, stick to a weekday visit. * Rewards: It is quite expensive, but it's a nice treat. Plus, you can sign up with your phone number to get discounts for future visits. The Parking Situation: * Virtually Non-Existent: There is no parking lot, so you are stuck looking for small spots along the side of the road. * Accessibility: There is no designated handicap parking, so keep that in mind if you aren't prepared to walk a bit from a side street. Final Verdict: It's a perfect weekday spot for a warm dessert, just be prepared for the peninsula parking struggle!

It had the perfect level of crunch and flakiness to it while maintaining a consistent pistachio filling. Best part is that the pistachio wasn't overwhelming and did not overtake the whole croissant.

The staff are humble and exceedingly friendly which is becoming more and more rare as prices in the OC soar beyond tolerable levels. However if you have a few extra dollars in your pocket, spend them on the lovely chocolate or raspberry cream walnut croissants at this place. Airy and light but flavorful bundles of joy! I also ordered the delectable chocolate cake, which was not too sweet. 4 layers of cake and filling. You can actually taste the chocolate in the light layers. One can still imagine the affection imbued into their baked goods as you enjoy them. Unlike many of the others nearby who have crossed into "it's just a business" mentality. Run don't walk to this hidden gem! I will definitely be a repeat visitor.

If you love beautifully executed sourdough and trendy cafe vibes, Eller Bakery in Costa Mesa is…read moreabsolutely worth the hype. The space itself is gorgeous; very industrial, modern, and effortlessly cool, but still warm and inviting. From the moment we arrived until we left, the cafe stayed packed, which honestly says everything. We decided to sit outside in their back garden area and it was such a cute, quaint little escape. Perfect atmosphere for a slow breakfast date. The food was incredible. Eller is clearly serious about sourdough and they absolutely nail the execution. We shared the sourdough cinnamon roll and it was easily one of the best pastries we've had in a long time. I ordered the bacon quiche with a side salad, and my husband had the breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage, both were outstanding and felt thoughtfully made with really high-quality ingredients. For drinks, he had the hot Americano and I went with the cold protein latte. Both were solid choices and paired perfectly with breakfast. Between the amazing food, beautiful aesthetic, and cozy outdoor space, Eller completely delivered. Already looking forward to going back.

I'm honestly sad to be writing this review because I've been a day-one fan of Eller Bakery. I've…read morenever had a bad experience here before, the food has always been great, and the staff has always made us feel welcomed and taken care of. This last visit was unfortunately very different. We came in with a fairly large party, and we completely understood that accommodating a group our size is a lot of work. When we got in line, the employee asked how many people were in our party, which made sense. However, we were then told that we could not all pay separately. This was confusing because payment is taken before you even sit down, so it's not like we were trying to split a bill afterward. Rather than make a fuss, we combined everyone's orders onto one card, totaling around $400. The food and drinks came out fairly quickly, which we appreciated. The reason I felt compelled to write this review, though, was because of how rude one particular employee was during the experience. She was wearing patriotic cat ears and appeared to be one of the baristas. One of my friends ordered a latte with alternative milk, but it seems the order may have been entered incorrectly. I've worked in the coffee industry myself, so I understand mistakes happen all the time, and remaking a drink is usually not a huge issue. Instead of handling it kindly, the employee responded with, "That's how it was put in, the request time has passed, that's our policy," in an incredibly dismissive and rude tone. We were honestly stunned. My friend, visibly uncomfortable, just quietly said "Okay," and the employee walked away. Nothing was offered to make the situation right. This happened after we had already spent hundreds of dollars and tipped before even being served. I'm not someone who enjoys complaining or writing negative reviews, but the interaction completely changed the experience for our entire group. What's most disappointing is that the refusal itself wasn't even the main issue, it was the attitude and apparent enjoyment in being dismissive over a very small and understandable mistake. I'm writing this mostly out of disappointment because I truly loved this place. I also think it's important for larger parties to know ahead of time that there appears to be a policy limiting payment methods, even though I've personally visited before with smaller groups where separate payments were allowed. I genuinely hope this was just an off day, because Eller Bakery has been a place I've loved supporting for a long time.
