Thought I was on a reality tv show where they hire a famous French chef to work at an unassuming bakery. Unreal food. Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. In a year, there will be a line out the door for this place. read more

I discovered a cute little restaurant on the corner of Bristol and Red Hill. The adorable French owner serves up delicious food and great service. I had a yummy Turkey, cheese and egg croissant as well as their tomato bisque soup which was made from scratch and with love. The lemon crepe was fresh and just perfect. I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu. read more

Lovely owner, authentic taste, great ambiance. Definitely will return again in the near future.

Four Uber Eats drivers tried to get my food but they cancelled my order. Either way, not cool to wait and stay hangry all day today. Y'all's Uber eats service sucks. read more

You really need to give this guy a try. He came from Paris and just opened up the shop, looks great by the way. The sandwiches are generous in portions and all homemade. The owner took my order personally and walked me through the menu. He explained the sourcing of ingredients. I went with the turkey croissant as well as the roast beef sandwich. Something about the bread used here is indescribable, you just can't find it anywhere. Definitely recommend for a good breakfast or a good lunch. They have Wi-Fi and a decent amount of seating area. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I am a croissant snob. The best croissants I've ever had were on the Grand Canal in Venice. But if you happen to be anywhere near Irvine and the surrounding communities, then you simply must try the Orange Paris Café. Small joint. Big heart. The owner is the nicest person I've met in decades and he makes the BEST croissant and FRESH orange juice this side of the pond. read more

Such an amazing little cafe! Stopped by for lunch and the turkey and cheddar on a fresh baked croissant was perfect! It was so good!! Even my picky husband loved it! Their homemade macarons are devine as well. You can tell the owner puts a lot of love into this cafe. It's a must try! read more

Came in with my mom. Delicious food!!!!! Bread was awesome- very crisp and fresh. The owner was so pleasant as well :)

Such a nice place with a really friendly owner, feel really welcome a nice hole in the wall this place deserves so much business

Agree with all the other reviews: Cyrille is a wonderful chef, a warm welcoming host, and he even tolerated our efforts at speaking français! We had a "secret" item he is trying out - delicious creamy tomato bisque, plus brie baguette sandwich, crepes, homemade orangina, petite salade, his mother's recipe apple pie, expresso with whipped cream on top eaten with a spoon. My 3 teen boys loved our lunch! We took macarons home. Wish we lived closer! Location not special but with a top quality owner and food he can move somewhere more scenic one day. :) read more

Our food was really cold, bathrooms were horrendous and service was weird..Croissant wasn't even toasted or warm. Surprised by the high reviews, we wanted to love this spot. Would rate 1/5 but don't want to harm overall score. read more

undeservingly hidden away behind a gas station in costa mesa, this place is the real deal. the food is beyond good, it's authentic, and it's made with love. the baguette sandwiches are made on fresh, crisp bread and with real french butter- it's just too divine to put into words. we were waited on by the gentleman who owns the cafe and his dedication to the dining experience is unreal; he brought samples of a few menu items and suggested some highlights- the apple juice, made to order from real granny smith apples, did not disappoint and has to be tasted to be believed. the endearing atmosphere is inviting to say the least, but to see someone's dream cultivated inside what apparently used to be a subway sandwich is as charming as dining in a real parisian cafe. orange paris cafe will make you feel full, in both the stomach and the heart. read more

This is my new spot! The owner is the sweetest guy and explains everything on the menu to you. He gave us a complimentary macaron and it was the best macron I've ever had. The orange juice as well, must try! He hand squeezes it in front of you. You can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. HIGHLY recommend. read more

It's finally open! I had the pan au chocolat and a chicken sandwich and they were fantastic. The staff were very friendly. It's a good thing for them since I'll be a repeat customer read more

I came in for breakfast by chance and my croissant sandwich was amazing! I am a big fan of French cuisine and I do not know of many places like this. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! The restaurant was clean and staff was very friendly. read more

I went to Orange Paris Cafe for the first time this morning. I ordered the croissant turkey & cheese sandwich. It was AMAZING!!! All the ingredients were so fresh & delicious! I will be going back real soon! read more

When here for lunch today for the first time with a coworker. Let me tell you. This place is a hidden gem. The service was amazing. The food was delicious and so different than your normal boring, lunchtime food one would have! I will be back for sure ! The parking is tight so go off peak times maybe or park nearby and walk over ! Totally worth it . Toasted baguette with French ham and melted Brie is just YUMMM! The house made orangina drink is a must ! read more

Ohhh my goodness!! This was the most delicious and flavorful breakfast sandwich I have had in ages (and I eat them pretty frequently lol). The flavors together with the crunchy/soft croissant is *chefs kiss*. Every other breakfast sandwich will pale in comparison. On top of that, service was quick and staff was very friendly :) I will be back lol read more

Orange Paris Cafe - Raspberry, lemon, and mango-chocolate macarons. - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We dropped in on a whim after walking the back bay. Despite its curiously situated location across from a gas station, this is a diamond. I had the brie baguette sandwich and my friend had one of the savory crepes, and both were fresh and delicious. This place clearly has a strong following, as the take out traffic was brisk. The owner was charming and funny, especially when I commented that his employees working behind the counter were so efficient and capable, that they worked together like a ballet. He laughed and pretty much told us that it took him awhile to get so lucky. I will definitely be back. Don't miss this place! read more

Amazing fresh food and service! HIGHLY recommend you will not be disappointed. Croissant ham and cheese & croissant turkey and cheese with fresh herbs and spices. Best croissant sandwiches I've ever had with fresh squeeze orange juice. read more

Truly a hidden gem! Cyrille the owner/boulangèr brings the best of French café experience to this nondescript little strip mall in OC. Best croissants we've ever had. Exquisite breakfast croissant, fabulous coffees, charming and solicitous host. We will be back daily while in town. Formidable! read more

This is an almost hidden gem that I hesitate to review because it will shortly be bombarded. The food is EXCELLENT. I've been meaning to stop in - I pass by everyday on the way to work. Today, I finally darted in. Homemade French fare at a great location on Bristol! Easy access, plenty of seating, impeccably clean and friendly. Everything made to order. Probably the best croissant I have ever tasted. Give it a try, but hurry in to avoid the rush. (The owner is on scene and explained the easy to understand menu and fresh baked goods. I haven't tried the macrons . . .yet, but they look delish). This is now my regular go to breakfast/sandwhich shop. Large portions/VERY reasonable pricing. What are you waiting for? Stop reading and get over there. read more

We had heard about this gem from friends and finally tried it today. All we can say is we are sorry we didn't try it sooner because it was wonderful. The food was delicious -especially the apple pie which we found out is the recipe of the owner's mother. Prices are also very reasonable. We will be back soon! read more

Food was very good and the customer service was amazing the owner was very nice and friendly.

My boyfriend and I went today for the first time. The owner is a very polite Frenchmen who was training the new staff on how to perfectly bake a chocolate croissant, which was so flaky, buttery, and delicious! My boyfriend got a turkey and cheese breakfast sandwich and I got the ham and Swiss. Both were very good! There was so much flavor. Would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Loved this little French place. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, the owner took the time to speak with me for a few minutes which was great. The crepes were fantastic ! Highly recommended. read more

This is the best cafe in Costa Mesa! Orange Paris always exceeds my expectations and leaves my husband and I with a smile on our faces from the kindness and generosity of the chef and owner, Cyrille. Every visit to Orange Paris is pure magic and good vibes. Today was the same. We had another wonderful and delicious breakfast. Today, I had the Ham and Swiss egg sandwich. My husband had the Turkey and Cheddar egg sandwich. They were both fantastic and so tasty Merci Cyrille ! Le café et les sandwichs du petit déjeuner étaient délicieux. Je m'excuse pour le mauvais français, j'apprends encore ! j'attends avec impatience la prochaine fois read more

Me and my boyfriend decided to try the Orange Paris Cafe since it was right across the street from our hotel and I have never felt more welcomed when going into a restaurant, when we came in the owner was one of nicest people I have ever met. All of the food he recommended was amazing, we tried atleast one of every item, crepes, croissant sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, omelettes, salads and we couldn't have complained about anything with the food. The inside of the restaurant is very cute, nicely decorated and very clean and we enjoyed not only the food but the service so much we came back the last day of our trip to say our goodbyes, before we left we took home every flavor of the macarons he had and slice of apple pie and I'll say the apple pie is a must. If you ever find yourself in the area do yourself a favor and stop in The Orange Paris Cafe, it is well worth visiting! read more

Good value. Love the Christophe sandwich and Crepe Suzette's. Behind the Arco gas station, usually always parking. Sometimes closed when says open. We drive by it to see if lights are on. Bring kids here since not many people and not stressed as much if they're too loud. Good for kids. read more

We came across this little gem by pure luck. The location is a bit unusual however the food is just phenomenal. Highly recommend it and trust me you will not be disappointed. My husband and I we had savoury crapes, latte and homemade orangina. The owner was also introducing a tomato soup to add to the menu and it was soo good, I had to take a cup to go. And to top it off, the macaroons are just melting in your mouth. Such a pleasure! read more

We just tried the Orange Paris Cafe and it is so fantastic!! We tried a a sampling of everything from the crepes, baguette sandwiches, croissants, macarons along with fresh apple and orange juice! everything was fantastic and the owner is an amazing host!! There were even toys and card games to play with! The whole family loved it and took the rare opportunity to play Uno while enjoying our meal!! Magical breakfast!! read more

Wonderful food and friendly service! French décor throughout, like we were in Paris!‍

Great food and great customer service. The owner is so nice and attentive and the food their is so fresh and delicious! We have the vegetarian croissant (which was amazing) and the orange juice which is freshly squeezed and seriously the best OJ I've ever had. read more

We tried this place because a friend told us about it, food was great and the owner is such a great host, we'll be back again.

Can't believe I've been missing this place! Stumbled in yesterday on my lunch break and found a hidden gem. I ordered a BLTT and a jambon Brie for my wife, and for dessert we each got a crepe, mine was Nutella and here was a Suzette. The sandwiches were very tasty and crispy and the BLTT had a super tasty sauce. Prosciutto on the baguette was very tasty as well. Suzette was very authentic and the owner is from Paris so that explains it! Overall very very good for a nice lunch you won't regret read more

Tried this little French cafe this am around 10:30 to try the brie and jambon baguette. It was good but not great. I prefer the baguette on the crunchy side without spinach. The only reason I found a parking is because I was at the Redhill Cleaners and was in a 10 minute cleaner spot. The cafe suggested I park at the Arco to get gas to find a spot but that is not that great either. Would like it if there were one or two spots reserved for this cafe. read more

What a find! The most delicious food I have found. The owner was so nice and does everything to make your visit enjoyable. Everything is made fresh, every ingredient is of the highest standards you can find anywhere. And when was the last time you had a fresh hand-squeezed orange juice from perfect oranges? Well, this IS the place. I can't remember an experience this good for so long. The flavors are so good you have to pinch yourself, the flavors are like a dream come true. This is the best find in Orange county I know of, and we have so many. This place will stand out to you forever. Do yourself a huge favor and give this place a try. You won't regret it. Oh, and the coffee is also fantastic. My day was made wonderful because I decided to try Orange Paris Cafe! I am willing to bet it will make your day as well. read more
