An awesome culinary experience! I ordered a variety of dishes and all of theme brought a smile to my face. I started with a croissant filled with custard and berries. The croissant was moist and the custard had excelled flavor. There were plenty of berries to go around, which allowed for great balance in every bite! The banana Nutella crepe came next, and I had never received a crepe cut into squares, but it was a nice touch, allowing me to share with everyone at the table! I finished my meal with the croque madame and it was loaded with gruyere cheese and ham. The bread had a nice crunch to it and was paired with a great dollop of fruit. I washed it all down with a French vanilla lemonade, which provided a soft sweet element to the normally tart beverage. I was extra appreciative of the staff member who pulled another table over to make sure all of our food fit comfortably for us! I look forward to visiting again! read more

I needed a quick bite, so I got a slice of quiche. It was so good that I got a croissant. The croissant was excellent, so I had to get a pistachio croissant as well. Since I try to watch carbs, I stopped there and took a baguette to go. I'll come back for a mini date with my significant other! read more

Le Saint Honore - Great selection of pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Dana Point, California

By far and wide the best bakery in south county. Porto's in Anaheim is a close second - that's how good it is! The owners are a wonderful French-Tunisian family. They care about the ingredients, only use imported French butter. The staff is always kind and attentive. read more

I was expecting a bit more given all the good reviews, but I wasn't really overly impressed. Service was good and friendly and there is a nice vibe inside with French tunes playing. There is some nice seating on the patio looking out on PCH. Croissant-kind of meh. I would have expected a more crispy, infinitely layered and flaky croissant like you might find in Paris, but such was not the case. This croissant was serviceable, but I can't say a whole lot more beyond that. The kougin anan was sweet, flaky, and chewy all at the same time, like it should be, but it wasn't anything out of this world. I would like to go back to try their quiche and omelettes, but I'm not rushing. You're only as good as your last meal. read more

Le Saint Honore - yummy fruit croissant and pistachio croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Dana Point, California

This is what I found when I looked up the meaning of "Le Saint Honore"  a pastry dessert named for the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, Saint Honoré or Honoratus (d. 600 AD), Bishop of Amiens, and we local residents are now able to "honor" the chef and owner of this great new pastry/restaurant store in Dana Point. I have 3-4 meals there and each time the service was so nice and the food was so good. First the Bacon Quiche is perhaps the best Quiche I have had in the area. The pastries are all so wonderful and the last time I visited I had the French Toast and as the other items it was so good. Do yourself a favor (but perhaps not your waist line) and get over the Le Saint Honore and enjoy some really fine food read more

Good coffee and pastries. The gentlemen that was serving us was very helpful and nice. I wanted to try so many things.

Love this spot! They have a wide selection of different sweet and savory pastries all of which look amazing. The ham and cheese croissant was delicious, and I loved the everything bagel seasoning on top. Will definitely be coming back to try a sweet pastry next time! read more

This bakery is amazing!! While enjoying our favorite pizza, we could see patrons smiling with delight while delving into their treats, of course, we had to check it out. The blueberry custard Danish was beyond description and the fresh baguette tasted like no other I've ever had! We tried an assortment of items and all of them were so delicious! You must try this little gem ~ read more

I was so excited to have a french bakery in town ,unfortunetly it was only ok. The customer service was extremely friendly but very slow for a grab and go place. It took about 15 minutes with only 2 customers in front of us who also only got pastries. The pastry was fresh and very pretty, the taste was fair. We got the pistachio Crescent flaky but filled with a vanilla pudding making it wet and mushy and Kouign-aman should of been crunchy and flaky but it was soft. The place is cute with a few tables inside and out. Was a little dissappointed. read more

Oh my God this little jewel of a restaurant has the most incredible food. Located in Dana Point authentically made artesian style food. The spinach quiche was so divine coupled by a small salad with the most delicious French dressing.! They have amazing desserts, my particular favorite is the pistachio croissant. Warm, with a nutty texture if you only have a short time and one to visit France, this is the place to come to.! Bon Appetite! read more

DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND!! The croissant I had was so delicious and full of filling inside, I was definitely not expecting the amount of filling inside because it's more than other places. It's worth the price and everyone is really sweet and kind. I will definitely be recommending to friends and family! read more

12/10 would recommend! We stumbled across this cafe shortly before they closed and were so impressed with everything! The decor is so adorable and pleasant, and we loved that they are pet friendly. We ordered a hot chocolate, pistachio croissant, and apple danish - all soooo incredibly delicious. I am normally a savory pastry gal but this pistachio croissant is easily top 5 all time faves!! It's not too sweet, textures are AMAZING, and I could easily eat this daily without regret. Basil was super friendly and kind, and he shared that the pastries are made with real French butter which explains why they are so amazing! Needless to say, we can't wait to come back. read more

Stopped by for some coffee and dessert. The strawberry custard tart was great, not too sweet and fresh tasting fruit. Very friendly service, clean restroom and seating outside. Got some chocolate chip cookies to go. Great place! read more

Checked out this new French cafe on The Row. We came at 8:00 on a weekday. There were a few customers. There are display cases of sweet and savory items. There are additional items on the menus posted above. The workers are friendly but a few kinks to work out. I felt service was slow for what was ordered and my latte came out cold. They redid it and added a pastry to make it up. I am still excited to come back and try more made to order items. read more

Amazing food and service, Neila is has very good costumer service. Greeted me with a big smile, doesn't look like she hates her job, and while I was eating I realized she is just great at her job greeting costumer with smiles and keeping the area clean. She also makes really good matcha. Better than community goods in LA. A suggestion would be if they added cream cold foam option for their drinks. It would definitely be 6/5 stars in that case. Love it here definitely recommend. read more

A truly lovely bakery! Beautiful and delicious croissants that melt in your mouth. The pistachio croissant is amazing - perfect pistachio flavor and not overpowered by sweetness. with all the tempting baked goods , do not pass up the quiches. A generous slice of heaven - creamy and light - I don't think I will enjoy any other quiche again. I love it so much, I may go back this afternoon for another slice! The service was perfect, very patient - it's difficult to choose - you want to try them all! The bakery has a cozy space to enjoy your treats and also some outdoor tables. Go soon - I'm sure there will be long lines once everyone discovers this place! read more

Update - returned a few times and enjoyed the baked items. All were great! I think my first experience was a fluke. Very nice people and I'll be back for coffee and bakery goods. I really wanted to like this place more - and I'll have to give it a second chance because the coffee was very good... but the food was disappointing. Next time I go I'll try the baked items as that seems to be their thing. The avocado toast looked good - but the bread tasted like it was old, dry, lacking flavor. But, one bad dish/experience shouldn't be the final word on a place. The baked goods looked great - I will try them next time. read more

What a lovely and delicious little gem of a place. Thoroughly enjoyed our Ham & cheese croissant as well as all the beautiful pastries and breakfast sandwich. Fresh breads too! Love it! read more

What a great addition to the Dana Point food scene! This is a French inspired cafe where you'll find everything from freshly baked bread and pastries to pistacho lattes and French onion soup. Pros - AMAZING service. We went on a Thursday around 10am and the guy that helped us was friendly and attentive. - Everything tasted amazing. The breakfast burrito was hearty yet not greasy. The cinnamon twist was warmed to perfection. - I enjoyed the modern, cute and clean vibe - Easy street parking as well as some in the back Cons - Not exactly a major con but be mindful that this place is small, so while they do have WiFi, it might not be the best cafe to work! Overall, I high recommend this spot. Especially if it's for a quick bite or a place to pastries to bring to a party or work Thank you to the Le Saint Honore team! read more

Delicious food! Beautiful service! The croissant is melt in your mouth...flaky and buttery...my French omelette was light, packed with mushrooms. I normally don't eat capers, but these weren't strong in flavor and added lovely balance. Cafe au lait was smooth. This was wonderful! read more

We have been by a few times, get there early as they do have a small supply of pastries and sell out quickly. The custard filled chocolate croissants were AMAZING, excellent custard and chocolate. The chocolate almond croissants were TERRIBLE, very little if any chocolate or almond paste, more of a regular croissant dusted with powdered sugar and a few almond flakes. read more

A little pricy, but we loved everything we bought. Their kouign amann was delicious and the pistachio thing that I got was also yummy. Highly recommend this bakery if you're looking for exquisite French pastries. read more

Le Saint Honoré Dana Point newest best French bakery and café. next to pizza Doho This place just opened today. There's a ribbon-cutting ceremony at one. But it's open for business.

Was excited to finally try this local French bakery after having just returned from Paris. Sadly, I found very little joy in what I found. I enjoyed the French style tables and chairs outside-fun! The croissant was light and flakey on the outside but a bit too chewy on the inside, and not as flavorful as I expected, which left me wondering if they use real French butter, flour, etc. in their recipes or not. The cafe au lait was the biggest disappointment! It tasted like burned coffee with milk and was dispensed from a container like any other brewed coffee. Considering it was $5.75, I at least expected freshly steamed milk, which I did not see the woman working there do. When I expressed disappointment and asked for the cafe to be remade, she reluctantly agreed but was very unpleasant about it. The drink still tasted nothing like a true cafe au lait, just wasn't made as it should have been. I also asked for my croissant slightly warmed and the woman forgot about it until I walked back inside to remind her. I'll give them one more shot, but overall was not the experience I had been looking forward to. Perhaps better training for staff in drink preparation and customer service could help. read more

Good pastries but way overpriced. A plain croissant for $6? I also went on their website to see if they use organic or imported quality ingredients to justify the price but didn't find specific info about it other than pastries are made fresh.Service was ok kind of slow. Cute little spot for breakfast otherwise. read more

Friendly service. Delicious coffee. Some of the best baked goods around. Don't miss this one.
