I've been here a couple times and regret not coming more. It's only a couple miles away, but in an area I don't normally go to. It's a cute little corner shop set back from the road behind a Starbucks. It's light and bright with many baked options. The service is always super friendly and helpful. I always ask what they recommend or are considered the favorites and they seem to give me items they really like. I'll definitely be back and hope to make it more often.

I emailed a ton of places looking for a custom cake for my step daughter's birthday. They emailed back quick, straight to the point, didn't ask a million questions, and with the price. Not only was communication 10 out of 10, the cake was even better than I expected. I literally gasped when I saw it. My step daughter was SO happy when she saw it, and said it is by far her favorite cake she's ever had on her birthday. The cake was delicious, and everyone loved it. I couldn't recommend this place enough. THANK YOU!

I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC WHEN I SAY THIS STICKY BUN CHANGED MY LIFE. Okay, maybe just a LITTLE dramatic, but my god - it is GOOD. I drove nearly an hour round trip for this (thank you, pregnancy cravings) after seeing that this place has a highly acclaimed cinnamon bun, but when I walked in, the pecan sticky bun stole my heart. It is everything you could want and more. Soft, gooey, perfectly sweet, delectably dense, just absolute perfection. I'm bad with names but I believe Ash helped me, and they were also so sweet, too! I wish I lived closer but that probably won't stop me from being back.

cinnamon roll 4 stars because it is only 5,95

so this place us in a small parking lot and I like really really sweet type things so this is a very good option you habe to ask them to warm up the roll if you want it hot the roll has a little too much cinnamon missing out on sweetness aspect of am ooey gooey filling that makes the soft creamy middle so tantalizing while good it did not blow me away on a scale of 10 i give it a 7

Elizabeth and her team created our wedding cake for our big day and we had a wonderful experience! From our first communication, to the cake tasting, designing the cake and delivery to the venue, Elizabeth was professional, communicative and collaborative. She worked with us to create the cake design to what we wanted and would meet the needs of our guests. The cake itself was so delicious and we got many compliments on the flavor and how beautiful the cake looked. I highly recommend Elizabeth and her team for your wedding or event!

What a cute shop! Super friendly service, and I love the variety of offerings here. There's even more than baked goods! Cute decor pieces and decoration sets as well as some cards. I asked what was uniquely theirs, and was pointed to the No Cake Left Behind section. They take the extra pieces of cake from baking and layer it with yummy toppings, like you would see in a German chocolate cake. It's very good. I followed their recommendation and waited about 30min for it to come up to room temp. We also tried an almond coconut cookie, pistachio croissant, and 2 macarons (blueberry and watermelon). Everything was very good! The almond coconut cookie and German chocolate No Cake Left Behind were my favorites. Everything here is also very fairly priced. I'm definitely coming back!

A little something sweet has been my go-to for years now. This petite bakery hidden in the back of a Starbucks anchored shopping center is no slouch. It is bright and inviting while still feeling homey and full of love! The staff are so sweet and inviting that you can feel the love that goes into their pastries and cakes. They have dozens of treats, quick pick items for parties, cakes, miniature desserts, and my personal favorite, the CINNAMON ROLL!! I have spent years perfecting my own recipe and sampling from every bakery around the country. It is the best cinnamon roll in South Orange County without question. It is gooey, warm, and behind it's light and flaky crust, the vanilla cream cheese frosting gets in between the soft layers pretending to be a mozzarella stick with cinnamon goodness "cheese" pulls that will make your mouth water. The vanilla cream cheese frosting is to die for. Their savory pastries are all made in house. They have gone through a few different versions from their take on the savory toaster strudel to roasted veggie croissants, but they always stand out for their quality and use of fresh ingredients. My wife's obsession is their lemon meringue pie bites. They are sweet, tangy, creamy, and the perfect touch of sour. My daughter's love their "no cake left behind" cake in a cup. A great way to get a rewarding yet not too filling piece of cake for your daily routine. Don't miss this stop when you're in the area. It's 100% worth the trip!

First of all: small but mighty! THE BEST cinnamon rolls! Fresh and moist with the perfect amount of cinnamon and icing. Every bite better than the last. They are also easy to get to right on Lake Forest, and just across from Starbucks so my favorite thing is to order my coffee then walk across the parking lot to this hidden gem of a bakery. The ambience is thoroughly delightful and almost quaint - like something you'd find on a Parisienne sidestreet! Also, the women working there are so nice. They always make me feel welcome and appreciated for coming in. There is outdoor seating if you want to hang out and enjoy. Next time you need a little something sweet, take the drive. The toughest part is deciding what to get (but yeah those cinnamon rolls are my fave). Get some tasty treats to take home too. You'll be so glad you did! This is a photo of the plate I licked clean to capture every morsel. Yummmmm!

I brought home one of their Cinnamon Rolls ($5.25) for hubby, who is a big fan of cinnamon rolls; these are superior to other places' typical pastry. After heating these in the microwave for 20 seconds (as instructed), these are moist-&-flavorful with a generous layer of frosting -- and appreciatively not overly sweet! I also enjoyed one of their Hand Pies (Custard was the flavor for that day), $2.95. Our thoughts are their No Cake Left Behind (chocolate cake cup, $5) was the least impressive of the treats we tasted; the cake was nice but the frosting didn't have us desiring more. We enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll (our favorite in this area, to date!) so much that I returned the following morning for more! Friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and efficient service. Fabulous find! Eager to taste more of their treats!

They handed the cake to us without a box or cover -- just only the bare cake in an open tray. Price: $45

My husband ordered a birthday cake for me, but to my shock, the bakery handed it to him without any box or cover -- just the bare cake sitting on an open tray. Because there was no packaging, my husband had to place it on the floor of the car and drive very carefully to keep it safe. The lack of a box was not only inconvenient but also raised serious concerns about hygiene. A cake should always come in a proper box or protective packaging. Handing it over this way felt careless and completely unprofessional. For something that is supposed to be a special creation, this was extremely disappointing and absolutely not what I would expect from a bakery. The cake price was $45.

Beautiful inside and out.

I needed a birthday cake for my mother -in-law's 75th birthday. I wanted to go to a local small business and reached out to Elizabeth and Sandy. They replied promptly, they had a good selection of flavors and combinations and they were willing to work within my budget. I gave them an idea of what I wanted and they did such an amazing job, I wanted to cry! The cake was beautiful, the icing and decor executed excellently and most of all, the cake was delicious! That to me is the most important thing! The celebrant and the guests loved it! I Elizabeth and Sandy are so warm and sweet and their shop is adorable. I cannot wait for another occasion so I can order again! Thank you!

Take and Bake Cinnamon Rolls
Sheri M.

This is a cute bakery with everything made from scratch. We started making it a tradition to purchase the take and bake cinnamon rolls for Christmas. You purchase them ahead of time with a pickup on Christmas eve. Everyone who works here are very nice and the rolls are easy to bake and delicious. They also go well with Champagne!

The best way to describe this bakery is a neighborhood hidden gem with magical surprises inside. From delicious treats to handmade gnomes to a genuinely kind fairy godmother, this place has it all! The chocolate croissant was among some of the tastiest I've had, and the cinnamon roll did not disappoint. My only regret was not buying more treats for me to eat throughout the week. The lady working there was the sweetest, most energetic person I've spoken to in a while, and her recommendations were spot on. My experience in the store felt catered to my wants from the moment I opened the door. Highly recommended stopping by this cute treasure trove of a bakery and stocking up for the week!

Is the shop by order only? Or can walk in purchases be done for items such as cupcakes or cookies?

You can walk and grab items from the display case

Any Vegan treats?

That isn’t something we currently offer or specialize in - as all of our items contain butter for the most part. However it is something we are looking into for the future.

What else to say about Chaupain, except it's always exceptional?…read more I'm biased - but their pastries have got to be the best in OC. This is the 3rd Chaupain location I've been to, I happened to be in the area. It's smaller than the one on La Paz in LN to be sure, but ample size enough to provide anyone with full tastes of their amazing goods. I like everything - I've tried nearly all of their pastries and cakes, this time I tried the cinnamon roll- which was insanely good, soft, and tasted of such quality. Actually - never tried their quiche, which is certainly on a bucket list for next time. I highly recommend everything they have - but just to name a new, the guava cream cheese, cinnamon cream cheese, mixed berry bateau, opera cake, vanilla scone, any of their croissants, lemon tiramisu, and the jamon sandwich is incredible - I love that the bread had a chewy texture, which is perfect for this sandwich. Adding any of the American condiments would almost be a sacrilege, but a bit of dijon is good, which they have there in packets- the flavours work so well together. I really struggle to restrain myself when coming here, which necessary for your wallet and your waistline - but whatever you decided it's all good here. The customer service was also stellar - very friendly, helpful, and personable. Thank you !

My family loves the spinach cheese and mixed berry croissant. They have a variety of croissants, tarts, cakes, quiches, sandwiches - and entree items like French onion soup, and the sunrise sandwich which are both very good. The Laguna Hills branch is a very small storefront with some patio seating. The staff are always so polite and friendly!

My family and I have been patrons of Cream Pan in Tustin for nearly two decades now, even before…read morethe TikTok strawberry croissant craze and even before it opened more locations like in Fountain Valley and Lomita. The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.
