Placed an online order 45 minutes ago and still waiting for it. Pick up time was noted to be ready in 20 minutes. I spoke to a guest at another table and they said they had been waiting an hour for their food. Prep area was messy, unorganized and dirty. Not sure how people are rating this place so highly. Don't come here if you want quick service. Also unapologetic. read more

This place is sooo yummy and they are very kind. Today I ordered on DoorDash and with my order they put this on my plate. I'm very grateful and will be ordering again. read more

Got a free macaron! Prices are great. I love the service. The owner is very lively and friendly. I felt very welcome and appreciated! Thank you! Edit: Also! Up until now I thought macarons were supposed to be cold and hard like the ones from Whole Foods and 7 Leaves. I never understood the hype, but I understand it now! These are just right; a soft crunch on the outside and light and soft on the inside. Soooo good! Also, check out this cute drawing the owner did! read more

Decided to have a little solo middle of the week take out brunch, and tried orange Paris cafe!! And man was it delicious! Can't imagine what it would be trying it siting down in the restaurant. I went with the sugar lemon crepe! Moist texture not mushy not to dense just right. You can smell the fresh lemon immediately, this is when my eyes become bigger then my stomach.. I also ordered the croque monsiuer (added bacon). Amazing flavor the cheese melted perfectly, as you can see I couldn't wait to take a bite (sorry lol) but definitely will be finishing it later, thank goodness for air fryers these days! read more

Delicious, fresh croissants! I've also Doordashed from this place many times and the food is always delicious. The Hotel Butter sandwiches are amazing, as well as the Croque Monsieur. The cherry on top? Cyril (owner) is just a wonderful human and an expert in French cooking! Ask for his selection of fresh macarons. Enjoy! read more

Authentic French cafe with a friendly owner. I had Eggs Benedict, Crepe Au Sucre and Cappuccino and everything was on point. Highly recommend & definite will be back. read more

My coworker and I walked past Orange Paris Cafe yesterday while en route to another restaurant and we were STRUCK by the delicious aromas wafting from the Orange Paris Cafe! We saw that one of our doctors were inside the cafe as we walked past (serendipity!) and we stepped inside to grab a menu! We chose to order ahead and pick up for today's lunch :) the gentleman who helped us (I believe it was the owner!) was sooo friendly and had our food wrapped up nicely and right on time when we arrived. I ordered the Homemade Jamon Brie Baguette and it was delicious! The bread was warm and gently crisp and the flavor was divine! My friend enjoyed the French Dip and she loved hers as well! Looking forward to returning and indulging in some crepes and mocktails in the near future! read more

Food : 5 stars for what we had- the crunchiest baguette with pillowy insides layered with Brie for me and cheese for my mini - so delicious-10/10, crepes , the savory crepe with bechamel and spinach- to my surprise was a crepe- not a buckwheat galette ( which probably is a whole different thing- not that I'm an expert) also delicious!! Service: slow- probably not in a charming way but more in a one- manned ( ok one man and a teen ) way - meaning probably a bit understaffed as cook , server , busboy all same person- BUT - the owner/chef/server was beyond charming- friendly, and personable- comes across as a genuine person who is doing a labor of love Ambiance:it's literally in a gas station with a very unappealing exterior- maybe rent was cheap ? The interior is I'm afraid to say also not cute - plastic faded checkered tablecloth, chairs that give dental office vibes , menus handwritten /scribbled on a whiteboard high up , order counter cluttered and visually unappealing This is a wonderful place for food - I hope the owner invests a little bit in just ambience and perhaps looks for a nicer location with a lot more foot traffic- he is such a nice person and obviously a wonderful chef and baker who also seems to be French himself too - he deserves all the success - I hope he stays in business so we can visit his cafe more often - we love small non-chain eateries read more

Placed an online order for pickup. On my way to get it, the owner called saying they were closed for the day. After asking if I wanted to keep the lunch order and "come pick it up tomorrow instead" (lol) I was told the order would be cancelled. I just noticed on my credit card they left the charge - what a crappy store read more

The food here is not good. I got three different items and all of them were equally bad. It also took a long time to be prepared. Sorry to leave such a bad review but this is my honest opinion. read more

Absolutely amazing! My mother and I came here today and was blown away. The food, decor and service . I forgot the gentleman's name that waited on us (I believe the owner), very sweet man. Theee best Brie Baguette I've ever had. Really, everything my mother and I ordered was delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more

The owner is a gifted chef and not only is the food fresh, prepared perfectly, but you can see the Parisian flair in each presentation. The fresh daily macarons are from Heaven! Would drive across country for these! Highly recommend in every way! Feels like Paris! read more

I've ordered multiple times in the months since my initial review. The quality over the past months has been incredibly (and consistently) great! The baguette sandwiches (particularly the jambon brie) continue to be delicious and rival (or surpass) many of the baguette sandwiches I've had on Rue Cler in Paris. The bread is perfectly baked and is soft but with that distinct crunch to it. The jambon and brie are delicious and the french beurre (butter) is incredible. And all elements of the sandwich have been perfect every time I've ordered it. The chocolate croissants are also delicious. Sometimes they're a little too soft and not as flakey as I would prefer, but the flavor is perfect. I tried the apple pie today and the apples were sliced so thinly that they almost had the consistency of a crepe, and the flavor was incredible. I'm just very happy and appreciate the owner taking the time and care to ensure the quality and consistency of the food. There really is nowhere else in orange county that gives me the same taste of Paris. My only wish for the future would be more seasonal special sandwiches and other dishes. There was a vegan carrot dish that my wife tried at a restaurant named "Hébé" in Paris that she describes as the best thing she tasted in France. Artichokes, carrots, even croque monsieur or onion soup in winter (even though our California winters are warm). I would love to try this chef's take on anything experimental or anything else to bring the flavors of France to OC. Actually my other wish would be a location with a better view and outdoor cafe seating where I could enjoy an espresso and a sandwich in the beautiful weather. Wishes aside, I have been really impressed since my last review and I'm so appreciative of the owner and his staff for ensuring that I will continue to enjoy this delicious taste of Paris at home. Merci beaucoup! read more

Amazing food and prices, service by the French gentleman is what you would find in Europe by someone who cares for his business and clients. Specials, sweets, drinks, and fantastic food offered here! Best aioli I have ever had, truly. read more

Oh my God, Cy ... I visited your sweet little cafe when you first opened & my only wish was that I could enjoy your culinary delights much more often. (I lived just a few blocks away from your location, but moved south to San Diego). Your food, always made fresh to order, is nothing less than remarkably outstanding & nothing like you can get anywhere else that I know of. After visiting you for hmmm, probably the fourth time, I'm now on a mission to come as frequently as possible & to ultimately try everything on your menu. Thus far I've had freshly baked Chocolate, Caramel, & Plain Croissants, fresh Lemonade, fresh Orange Juice, Sugar Lemon Crepe, Jambon Fromage (on a homemade baguette of course), a French Dip Sandwich, again, on a homemade baguette (OMG ... the flavors of the meat & cheese, topped with that fabulous sauce is "to die for" delicious. Nothing like I've ever had anywhere else on Planet Earth). I was happy to see that you were so busy! Yes, I had to wait a bit, but absolutely worth every minute, & your young helper was such a delight! I can't wait to come back!! read more

We randomly found this place and what an absolutely amazing find! The staff (owner) is so absolutely friendly and likable. He took our delicious breakfast experience to the next notch! My husband had an omelette and I had the BLTT. Both were fantastic. The cheezy ciabatta bread is to die for. The garlic aioli is beyond delicious. I literally want to try everything on the menu u. Next time we're in the area definitely coming back and trying new things. Absolutely a gem and a must try. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast read more

What an incredible find!!! I mean really... since moving to Newport from Capo Beach, we've been hard pressed to find an eatery that's not over-priced, over-rated, or over-stuffed. The quality of food is only equaled by the friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and welcoming, like they'd been waiting for us to arrive. The Orange Paris Cafe is our new go-to cafe. My only hope is that they do not become so successful that they forget themselves and decide to invest less in their ingredients and invest more in their social media accounts. Seriously though, the menu is focused, the food tastes homemade, and the staff wants you to be there. Keep up the great work, you guys! We'll keep coming by and stuffing our faces read more

Amazing restaurant with great food! The chef is increbly nice and talented, and made us feel very much at home. Definitely call ahead of time because the restaurant gets packed! read more

Have you ever had food so good it brought a tear to your eye? Orange Paris just did that. The Homemade Baguette Brie was so yummy and perfectly yet simply crafted. The Suzette crepe is ridiculously delicious. RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS. (deserved a repeat)! The croissant was so flakey, delicate, and outstanding. The macaroon was the best I've ever had. You can tell it's homemade. My latte was great too. Can't skip the caffeine! This place is the real deal. You can tell everything is made with love. Thank you for bringing your magic to Orange County. *Also, we ordered on Doordash. It was all this perfect even ordering for delivery. read more

The food is the star here. This quaint little cafe is hidden away. What it misses in fancy decor is more than made up for by the quality of the food. Ww had the jambon and butte r sandwich. Delicious with a perfect baguette both crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Then the omellete with turkey and proscuttio. Tasty and with great herbs. Side of french fries shoestring style just right. Finally the beef parisian sandwich on ciabatta. Also flavorful with excellent bread. And the owner is of course french with thaylt wonderful accent which makes you want to talk to him all day. Definitely coming back. read more

Orange Paris Cafe is my fiancé and I's favorite spot to order from. We have ordered the turkey cheddar croissants from them multiple times (when I say multiple times, I'm seriously talking over 20x) and we are never disappointed. Always delicious and always consistent. The chocolate croissant is absolutely to die for and was still hot when we received it at home! If I could give 20 stars I would. One of our orders we received the cutest Eiffel tower key chain which made my whole entire day. Thank you for always leaving our tummy's happy and satisfied, we love your little cafe! read more

Such a cute French cafe! It's a hidden gem. The price is super reasonable. The owner was so sweet and friendly. He made a lot of the pastries himself and they were delicious. Highly highly recommend!! read more

I love this place!! BUT they are inconsistent with their quality. When it's good it's the best! But unfortunately I have had more than one order with either a stale baguette for my sandwich or a burnt croissant. The burnt croissant was bad. This place seriously needs to work on their quality control. read more

Orange Paris Cafe - 2 bites in before I realized it was total burnt. Burnt croissant Yuck - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Best homemade breakfast, drinks, espresso con panna ever and most kind generous staff. Family owned makes everything better. They are very eager to hear feedback and allowed us to sample a few things in the works. My husband ordered an off-menu omelet with Brie and prosciutto and it was the best omelet I've had. Made thin like a crepe, delicious. Ask for the King Louie! I tried their fresh lemonade spritzer which is typical in Guatemala also, so it was such a treat. And maybe better! We told all our friends and will be back for sure. Must try! read more

A cute, small place. They provide you a bottle of water and some house croutons to snack on. We had a Croque Monsieur and Veggie Omelet. Both were delicious. Fabulous baked french fries with two sauces! And a yummy coconut macaron for saying "Bonjour" We left with an assortment of macarons- so good. The only thing I didn't care for the was toast served with the omelet - just drizzled with some truffle or balsamic glaze. I prefer le beurre and confit! Service was great. I'll be back. read more

The problem is good food can't be done fast and artist hast to do it right and he has great food at a great price and I tipped them 20% quality food that tastes fabulous! My wife felt the same way and you can even order it online. Absolutely incredible. read more

Croissants fantastiques! I Just tried this place and don't know why I haven't been here sooner. Best croissants I've ever had. Reminds me of the boulangerie's on every corner in France....but so much better better! I had the simple bacon and Swiss croissant but it was anything but simple. So tasty and perfect! And of course I also ordered a perfectly buttery & crunchy top and flaky croissant to eat "later" (ya ..I ate it on the drive home). I'll be back for a baguette and some macaroons! read more

Amazing baguettes and croissants. Subbed the latter for a breakfast sandwich and it was incredible.

Discovered this hidden gem by accident. Had planned to buy a breakfast burrito next door but that place was closed. This place had an amazing aroma of fresh baked bread and calming, jazzy music so I couldn't help but to check it out. Had the omelette with prosciutto, strawberry crepes and a slice of quiche. Everything was delicious and authentic. The owner is French and was very kind. Had a pleasant conversation. I will be coming back for sure. I think this is a great place to dine in and take out. Not fancy but very authentic which I prefer! You can tell the food is made with love. read more

Best ham and Swiss croissant I have ever had. I'll be back for this again! Also ordered a latte and it was very good. As soon as we sat down he gave us a cold bottled water. Bottled water is better than tap water! read more
