    I had to get up early to go to HOAG, I had no time to have breakfast or at least a cup of coffee, it was brutal luckily my daughter drove us as I was a zombie! After we got out of HOAG, she drove us to the closest bakery, C'est si bon. I thought it was a French bakery like owned by a real Frenchman but I found out otherwise. The line was long, I almost wanted to leave but the little park next to it was so beautiful my daughter got in line, it was about 18 min wait while I took pictures inside and outside. We ordered 2 croissants and an apple tart. The coffee was excellent but the croissant was chewy, they sat around too long maybe? I should have ordered the pate, it looked so yummy but my daughter talked me out of it as it looked too fatty and was $20/lb then we need to buy bread, we all wanted to go home. We sat on a beautiful corner next to the fountain w 2 fake ducks, LOL! But it was enjoyable I guess you pay for the fun but sorry, the food was just ordinary, I was told it used to be owned by a Frenchman who sold it to the current owner. In France where I went to visit family every year the apple tarts were delicious in almost every bakery, why do they add almond to it in the USA? They made it to American taste buds, TOO TOO SWEET, I could not eat it. I think this bakery is over hyped, it is 3 stars IMHO but I will come back for the pate and the baguette, hopefully they are as good as they look.

    Pain au chocolat

    Nice cafe - not super trendy but there are some solid pastries and baguettes here. The pain au chocolat was delicious, soft, and flaky with a ton of chocolate inside, and the mini chocolate chips sprinkled on the top were a nice touch. The green tea isn't anything mind blowing, but it was nice, light, and refreshing. Their baguettes are tasty, especially paired with the pepper paté! Seating is limited - not a ton inside besides the stools that scale the walls, but there are some outdoor tables as well. Would come back just for the pain au chocolat!

    My daughter has been telling me about C'est Si Bon Bakery for a while but I never made it there. Recently stopped by to pick up lunch with her and her husband while we were in the area. They got their favorites, curry chicken on a croissant and I ordered the curry chicken salad. The curry chicken was so delicious and it's what they're known for. Salad was super fresh, no wilted lettuce! Wish there was a bit more chicken because I can eat two scoops of just that by itself. Definitely a must visit when I'm back to that area.

    Staying nearby and was in the mood for a pastry for breakfast. Found this place on Yelp. There was a line out the door when I got there (Sat about 8:45am) but it moved quickly. Prices are very reasonable (maybe it's because I'm comparing to LA?) and everything was delicious!! Nice outdoor patio.

    9" BYO Sandwich

    i dont usually go to this side of newport so it was a nice new experience! we came on a monday around 10am and it was pretty quiet. i heard lines get really long on the weekends so im glad we didnt have to wait. we split a 9 inch sandwich and also got pastries: a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate croissant! the cookie and croissant were yummy! nothing like a sugar rush to start your morning :) we both rated the sandwich an 8/10 too. pretty good but not the best sandwich ive had in my life yknow? though if i come back, id prob customize it a little differently and that might change my rating. staff was friendly and seemed nice!

    There's a parking lot that's a good size available for customers. There was a line when I got there on a Sunday morning but it went pretty fast. I ordered a baguette with butter and an Americano. There isn't much seating available inside but there are places to sit outside, whether it's at tables or benches. My friend and I were able to snag a table and we shared the bread and coffee while talking. It seems like it's a popular spot for bicyclists as well. The bread was good and the Americano was great. I noticed that they had sandwiches and other treats available, which looked yummy.

    12" Curry Chicken Baguette

    I've been here a few times now because I truly cannot stop thinking about their curry chicken sandwich. I first stumbled upon C'est Si Bon while waiting to pick up a rental car next door and just wanted a quick bite, now it's in my rotation and I'm putting everyone I know on it. They have an amazing build-your-own sandwich setup where you can choose the size (6", 9", or 12"), and they'll even cut it into halves or quarters, which is so considerate and convenient. Customer service is great, each person that's helped me has been so friendly. They walk you through your order, and the line moves quickly. The space itself is large and feels very open. One side is pretty empty (no tables), but it makes the interior feel spacious while you wait for drinks or sandwiches. Their outside space is my fave! A beautiful, serene patio with a fountain, tons of benches and tables, and a gorgeous brick facade. The whole area has such a peaceful, charming vibe. They also offer a wide variety of pastries (cinnamon rolls, scones, croissants, muffins, and other sweet treats like cakes and tarts) I've tried the cinnamon roll and the pain aux raisins, and both were not overly sweet. There's also a coffee bar station where you can add your own cream, sugar, etc. I think everyone comes here for their sandwiches, specifically the curry chicken sandwich which is... unreal. I don't know anywhere else that makes it like this. The chicken is incredibly tender and packed with flavor. It's a full-on flavor bomb: creamy, savory, slightly sweet, with warm, earthy, aromatic curry notes. It can get a little messy, and I recommend eating it immediately because the bread can get soggy. I've been getting the 12" chicken curry on baguette with provolone, dijon and mayo with sprouts, lettuce, and cucumbers. ugh, so good! I've also tried the tarragon chicken, which is good but not nearly as flavorful as the curry. Heads up: it contains walnuts, so it's not nut-allergy friendly. I'll absolutely keep coming back for that curry chicken sandwich!!

    I finally visited C'est Si Bon today after attending a nearby yoga class. I was surprised to find this corner bakery filled to the brim. The line was out the door and all seats were taken on their large patio. You can easily tell it's beloved by locals! Their menu is filled with pastries, bread loafs, cakes, sandwiches, salads, and caffeinated beverages. I kept it simple with a hazelnut latte. The line moved quick and their team was happy to help serve up my next dose of caffeine. The drink was sweet and caffeinated, but I had instant regret not ordering one of their many baked items. Taking notes to return for Thanksgiving! The pumpkin pie looked incredible.

    I see this place all the time, whenever I drive past it decided to give it a try. The pastries were plain and hot coffees were mediocre. The vibe in this location was not the greatest at all the staff seemed to show they do not care, and if you ask them about something on the menu it seems they are annoyed about explaining what an item entails. Parking is tight and horrible on top of the top.

    Came here because I always drive by it and the lines are long. Finally came after it was somewhat dead. I personally won't come back here. The female employees were warm and welcoming. The males seem annoyed when asked about something. I got the apricot pastry and the long powder croissant one. Also got a cappuccino and a white mocha which I have no pictures of. The pastries were really good. A bit dry on the twist but the apricot one was fire. I give both a 4/5. The white mocha was pretty good. Not much to say 3/5. The cappuccino was a disappointment. 1/5.

    Turkey sandwich with Swiss, lettuce, and tomato
    Myra J.

    Wow was I impressed. I had never been here before and we decided to drop by for a late brunch. We got two sandwiches. The sesame bagel and a turkey sandwich, with an iced vanilla latte and a black coffee. It was all delicious!! Everything was made to order and very fresh. It was all ready very fast too, we waited maybe 7 minutes for all our stuff. There was plenty of seating outside and it's very beautiful. We came around 11am on a Sunday and it was pretty busy but nothing crazy. We easily found seating. We had a great time and everything was delicious!! We will definitely be back.

    C'est Si Bon Bakery is one of my favorite low key lunch spots in Newport. The sandwiches are really good, mostly because the bread is baked fresh and you can taste the quality in every bite. Simple ingredients, but everything feels fresh and well put together. I usually grab a pastry too and the apple tart is my favorite. It is not overly sweet and has a great texture. Easy place to stop for lunch, quick, consistent, and always hits.

    FOOD Love the food. Their almond croissant and the sugar free vanilla Latte with Oat Milk were delicious. This place reminds me of a ToGo version of Moulin in NB, with less seating. AMBIANCE Place was packed before 10:00am so you'll know for sure their pastries are 100% fresh. I've been here at least a dozen times before and it's always packed. PARKING Excellent. Tons and free parking with lots of spots in front, to the side and even way in the back. PRICING Competitive

    Does anyone know when they start selling that amazing pumpkin pie? Please tell me I don't have to wait until the end of November. Thanks,

    Is there restroom?

    Yes, the restroom is outside, you'll need to ask the staff for the restroom key to access.

    How can I order some sandwich platters for an event?

    Call them or stop by and ask.

    I have tried to get a hold of them multiple times over the past several days but no one has answered and I'm unable to leave a voicemail. Is there a better number to reach them at to make an order over the phone?

    I am sorry that you have that experience. They are super busy. Maybe if you call early in the morning. They are open at 6:30 am ( I am not sure)

    Are there any pandemic precautions happening here? I am interested in getting pick up but am not interested in standing in line next to other folks. There was a review from one day ago that mentioned crowds. Is that indicative of what's happening?

    I never stopped to go there on Sundays since this craziness started. They are very conscious . You have to follow the the tapes on the ground ( giving the social distance)… Read more

    What are the gluten free items here?

    I am not It sure if they have any.

    Where do the ingredients come from? Do they come from Europe or locally sourced?

    Locally. They have things that are imported ( some cheese, patê, wines) but forget about all that . Their bread is out of this world ( my opinion) the croissants are " heaven" the brownies are another " heaven"… Read more

    If you're anywhere near The Chicken Shop, do yourself a favor and stop in -- this place is…read moresomething special. First off, the people. I genuinely don't think it's possible to find a friendlier, more welcoming staff. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with real smiles, real gratitude, and a level of care that's honestly rare these days. You can tell they take pride not just in their food, but in every single customer experience. Now here's what really sealed the deal for me. Not too long ago, I placed a to-go order for their half chicken with sides, but when I got home, it turned out to be one of their chicken wraps instead. And to be completely honest -- not even mad. Everything on their menu is so good that it was more of a surprise than a disappointment. Next time I came in, I casually mentioned it to Fred (the owner) while placing my order -- no complaints, no frustration, just a quick heads up. He immediately apologized, which honestly wasn't even necessary. Stuff happens, and when the food is that consistently good, it's hard to care. But here's the part that really speaks volumes: when I went to pay, Fred wouldn't let me. Insisted the meal was on the house. No hesitation. No questions. Just genuine ownership and appreciation. That kind of integrity and customer care is hard to come by. At the end of the day, this is a 5-star establishment with 10-star people behind it. The food is consistently incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the experience is one you'll want to come back to again and again. I'll absolutely be returning -- not just because I know the food will hit every time, but because I know the experience will exceed expectations every single visit.

    Ordered the OG Wrap and it was immensely dry. I sad I paid $16 for an underwhelming wrap because it…read morebarely had any toum and it also had no pickles inside. So ..... I was just eating fries and dry chicken. Don't know if I'd come here again. Service was whatever.

    Tried half of the Queen Bee and the Chicken Pesto--both were seriously impressive…read more The focaccia is beautifully baked with a crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. It was a touch oily on the outside, which made it a bit messy to eat, but that richness definitely added to the flavor. The Queen Bee had a perfect balance: creamy ricotta, sweet honey, and fresh green pear all working together effortlessly. The pine nuts were a great finishing touch, tying everything together with a subtle nuttiness. It's easy to see why the Chicken Pesto is a crowd favorite. If you're into pesto, arugula, and sun-dried tomatoes, this one hits all the right notes--especially on that toasted basil focaccia. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Only downside is the tough parking situation, but honestly, it's a deli I'd still go out of my way for.

Portion size? It's a BIG sandwich. I think I was expecting the sandwich to be more reminiscent of the type of focaccia sandwiches I had in Italy, but in truth it was just "heavy". The focaccia bread was not light and fluffy, but more dense and oily. I think these sandwiches would cater to many people here as showcased in the other reviews, but just wasn't for me. Glad to have given it a try though! Service was kind and friendly!
