Beyond disappointing…read more I arrived at 7:35 AM, to pick up my carry-out order of 2 sourdough loaves, and 1 jalapeno cheese croissant. I paid about $24. The layout inside was not clearly marked for where to pick up orders, and the regular in-store purchase counter. Because of that, I went to the in store purchase counter. There was one woman ahead of me, politely waiting to be acknowledged by the surly, disinterested young woman behind the counter who appeared annoyed that she had to pause her task of stuffing baguettes into bags--WITHOUT GLOVES. The employee did not smile, did not engage with the older lady buying the bag of coffee, and offered not a single welcome or pleasantry. At the same time, another young woman rushed behind the counter with a scowl on her face, didn't acknowledge me at all, clocked in, looked up at me waiting there, and then turned heel and walked away. The first young woman, whose hands had just been on finished bread, were now on the dirty POS screen and the older woman's payment card. At no point did I see her wash or sanitize her hands. When the transaction ahead of me concluded the surly young simply asked "Can I help you?" DMV employees have more warmth and personality. I responded that I had an order to pick up and gave her my name. She responded with, "You have to go over there," and pointed behind her. That was it. No "thank you," no "have a nice day." The second counter was no better. I stood at the pick up counter for a minute before being acknowledged me. It was long enough that a middle aged woman approached and asked if I'd been helped yet. Again, no smile, no greeting, not a single indication that this employee was grateful for my business. He also asked, with the same lack of humanity, "Can I help you?" I repeated that I was there to pick up my order and gave him my name. He seemed utterly bewildered, lacked any sense of urgency, and apparently couldn't find my name in his computer. He simply stated with a dead-pan monotone, "I gotta check on something." He went back to an unattended shelf that I didn't see or even know was there but was accessible by anyone. He brought my order out and handed it to me, and again I received no thank you, "have a good day," or any other effort toward making my patronage there seem appreciated. The loaves look fine, but the way they packed my croissant in the bag was such that it was on its side between the two heavier loaves and the sturdy paper bag. Of course these means that I pulled out a deflated, completely flat croissant with the filling mostly outside of the pastry. I can't say that this is because of the squishing, however, because the cheese was cooked and solid--just outside the croissant. The flavor was good, but after the first few bites where the filling had all come out of one side, the rest of the croissant had no filling, was super flat, and seemed unusually greasy. This sort of thing would never happen at Moulin. Between the horrible service, the insanely high prices, and the 7-11-level quality of the pastries, I'd recommend that you just go into the Sprouts right there and get something from them. Those employees are always happy/friendly, the value is there, and the quality is superior. Or better yet, go to Moulin where real, French-speaking men and women expertly practice their craft of exquisite artisan baking. Chaupain is a terrible, unsuccessful imitation.

Highly recommend trying this place! Service is fantastic.. the shop is spotless and clean.. light and bright. Don't miss ordering churros to share with your desert.

I discovered I LOVE Helados and I didn't even know it existed until we happened to walk past Pampas…read moreHelados Argentines in Aliso Viejo. On a last minute decision to eat out for dinner, we took a stroll afterwards. It was probably 15 minutes before closing time and we saw this brightly lit, blue and white shop with a small cooler cart and umbrella outside near the front window and large wall art of Lionel Messi, the soccer player, inside. Being a soccer family ourselves, we asked if it was too late to come in and we were given the warmest smiles and were waved in and I'm so glad we stopped and asked. This delightful dessert spot has so much to offer that had it been a warm and crowded evening, I would have felt pressure to choose because there were so many yummy looking options it was REALLY hard to decide. They are more than happy to provide tasting samples and I think that made my decision even harder because they were all fabulous! Since we let them know this was our first time in their shop, the young server said we needed to have it served with their filled churro tucked into the side, to experience the "full effect" of Helados and although it isn't something I would add every visit, it was a fun addition to the "newbie" experience! Prices are so reasonable considering the quality of product, the portion size, and the overall charm of the place, I was actually expecting our bill to be much higher. This place is one of the best hidden gems I've found in our area! As they say on their website, it isn't ice cream, it isn't gelato, it's HELADOS! And you have to give it a try!

Scratch Bakery Cafe is located in a big plaza with Trader Joe. There are many people outside sitting and eating. You order up front and pay before getting a table. Right when you walk in, there are tons of bags filled with English Muffins, however, they are called Manna buns for trademark reasons. The Manna buns come in plain, sesame, and everything seasonings. I ended up going with plain. The bun is super yummy. I made eggs and avocado sandwich with the bun and couldn't wait to eat them every day. They are pretty big, so I only eat half. They also sell bakery items. I got an oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that was delicious and a Banana's Foster Knock Knock. I absolutely love this and so happy the lady suggested it. It was like an upgraded ding dong but like a banana nut cake and chocolate. Overall, if you're looking for English muffins or some sweet this is definitely your place to try.

Drum roll... absolutely not- at least not during this visit. If they had them, this would be a 5‑star review. I'm writing a letter to my ma about this injustice. I can't wait to come back and try more goodies.

We made sure to order 3 weeks in advance to give the bakery ample time and my cake turned out DELICIOUS!!! Everyone loved the banana & peanut butter flavoring!!

I wanted a small cake just for the traditional cake‑cutting moment, and they were so accommodating from start to finish. We ordered their to-go tasting box; we loved being able to mix and match different cake and frosting flavors. The only flavor missing was the one we were most excited about--almond velvet. Without hesitation, they created a custom almond velvet tasting for us, and we instantly fell in love. We ended up choosing a 9" almond velvet cake with almond praline and vanilla buttercream, and it was absolutely delicious. It also matched our wedding aesthetic perfectly--simple, timeless, and elegant. I can't recommend Butter + Cream enough for any special occasion. Thank you for making our wedding cake everything we hoped for :)

I found Milk & Honey Café on Yelp and it looked cute, so we decided to check it out. It's tucked into a shopping plaza but has such a charming little café vibe when you walk in. The service was quick and super friendly, which is always appreciated when you're fresh off a hike and just want caffeine ASAP. We both ordered iced Americanos and they were honestly perfectly smooth, strong, and exactly what we needed. While we were there it started getting pretty busy with people coming in for coffee and grabbing food, which is always a good sign. We overheard a few people talking about how good the food is, so now I'm definitely curious and will have to come back to try something off the menu. Overall it was a great little post-hike stop. Good coffee, great energy, and a cute spot to hang for a bit. We'll definitely be back.
