Tuna sandwich on croissant, bomb! Chicken curry also very bomb! 10/10 would come regularly if I was nearby. Great prices as well for what you get. read more

We really like C'est Si Bon's croissants. They are consistently good and you can count on them to always be buttery with a slight crispiness to them. The highlight for us is the seasonal pumpkin pie which we order every Thanksgiving. There's no other bakery that we think has a better pumpkin pie than C'est Si Bon. Parking can be tight end as they don't have many spots available. It's also better to get there early before they run out of baked goods. read more

I've been hearing a lot about this bakery, so I was excited to finally try it. Parking is pretty limited, but luckily I was able to grab one of the last spots. I ordered a turkey sandwich where you choose your bread and three toppings, along with an iced tea. The iced tea was good, but unfortunately I wasn't very impressed with the sandwich. Neither the turkey sandwich nor the bread really stood out to me--it wasn't bad, just nothing particularly special. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but based on everything I'd heard, I think I was expecting a little more. There isn't much seating inside, so I sat outside to eat, which was actually really nice. Overall, it was a pleasant enough experience, but I'd probably try something different if I came back. read more

The cutest little bakery, with the most scrumptious cakes and sweets, and fresh baguettes that people carry out by the dozen Also, a super popular coffee spot in Newport, you'll often see folks make a pitstop during their biking route, and there's also a super cute little courtyard right outside with a small little Fountain and several tip table set out for you to sit and enjoy your drink, treats, while catching up with friends. They're also known for their sandwiches, so definitely try them out as well! There's usually a line out the door, but their service is quick so it moves fast. If you happen to be passing by highly recommend a visit in! read more

On our way to the fashion island mall my husband and I stopped by to get some breakfast. The line was long at 10 am so I thought that was a good sign that this place is good and loved by locals. So many people in their workout clothes and bikes stopping by for coffee and breakfast. We ordered two hand and cheese sandwiches and loved it so much. It was delicious. Also we had a sweet tooth so we got a blueberry scone and a small cinnamon roll. So so good. Still thinking about the cinnamon roll. Now as far as coffee I didn't like my iced coffee it was watered down and didn't drink it even though I went back and asked them to add more coffee still no good. My husband loved his americano and said it was one of the best tasting ones he had .. so I guess I chose the wrong drink lol I will definitely be back again next time I'm in the area. Ambiance is great as well. Lots of outdoor seating. Customer service was friendly and fast. Anna was helping us and she was amazing. She is patient and has great customer service skills. Thank you Anna for your welcoming service. read more

This place gets busy and parking is limited along with seating if you plan to eat indoors our outdoors. The quality of food is exceptional, know for their pastry and sandwiches. The bread is high quality and made fresh and hot. I ordered a roast beef sandwich to go, when I opened my bag, I realized the girl at the counter gave me someone else's sandwich, " Cas" I got your sandwich and you have mine. It was a turkey sandwich with cheddar cheese and I ate it, it was pretty good. Better than I thought it would since it's something I wouldn't order. I also got the Carrot cake, Pecan and raspberry tarts. All exceptional tasting. read more

When too much hype surrounds a place, the expectations skyrocket. I tried their chicken tarragon sandwich on a baguette with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and mayo. To be frank, it was nothing special- something I could make at home. I thought the star of the show was going to be the baguette and I was expecting a crackly crunchy outer and soft fluffy interior, but was met with dry and chewy bread. Chicken tarragon salad was bland. I really wanted to love the sandwich, but expectations fell short. Kudos to the service though. Super efficient, straight forward, line keeps moving, and you don't wait very long for your order. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but I'm open to trying this spot again if I'm in the area. read more

Met my boat partner at C'est si bon for lunch and a quick meeting. Honestly I have driven past for decades but never actually entered the shop. Parking lot is small with the post office and a handful of other businesses all sharing the same few spaces. So be prepared to circle the lot or park on the street and walk when you visit. I ordered a 9 inch ham with provolone, had lettuce, tomato, sprouts, mustard and mayo on the fresh baguette. Solid sandwich it had enough meat and cheese to satisfy me which was a little surprising. The baguette was light and tasty, the veggies were fresh and crisp. Overall the sandwich was a solid 9 out of 10, and I am something of a sandwich snob. Tables and chairs outside in the area between the buildings were convenient seating to eat our sandwiches. I'm very impressed and will definitely return the next time I am in the area and looking for a sandwich. read more

C'est Si Bon Bakery - Ham and cheese on a baguette from C'est si bon - Bakeries Near Me - Newport Beach, California

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! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

After spending the first part of my day at the beach, I thought it would be a great idea to grab a sandwich from a local hotspot. After waiting 20 minutes for my 12-inch tuna sandwich, I got home only to discover there was more cheese than tuna. I was further shocked when I opened the sandwich to find that the tomato wasn't even ripe and was still green on the inside. For a place with such a great reputation, the experience was incredibly disappointing. read more

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. read more

Came here a couple of times in the last 1,5 year. There's almost always a line, but it moves fast and it's worth it. The sandwiches are so good, especially on baguette. We always have to pair them with an iced vanilla dirty chai and a green iced tea, so good. If you have any space leftover for dessert, you'll love the sweets, tarts and chocolate in the display. All great! Sit outside on the cute patio or bring your food to the beach and enjoy! read more

Parking is in a shared lot and there was no issue finding a spot. Inside feels bright and airy, while the outdoor seating is especially lovely with all the plants surrounding the space. Service was fast & friendly throughout the visit. I ordered the chicken curry salad & was a little underwhelmed. The flavor itself was good, but it could have used more dressing and definitely more chicken. The Thai tea was really tasty though. Overall, still interested in coming back to try the sandwiches and baked goods since those looked especially promising. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Back at c'est si bon bakery after a while. My favorite French bakery anywhere in CA. It is out of my way. But today, i was craving it. So, i drove 30 min from Long Beach to Newport Beach to get my fix. It is a simple, no thrills small bakery with great classic french Viennoiserie (pastries) such as the croissant, pain au chocolat (known as chocolate croissant which is wrong in my opinion), Authentic Brioche, which no one else makes and Pain au raisin (raisin roll). And please don't get the raisin roll with glaze on top. Get the regular one. Otherwise, you might as well go to a Donut shop. They also have daily baked baguettes, great sandwiches, imported cheeses, cakes, coffees etc... There is parking out front. The space has somewhat limited seating. Most of it being outdoors on the nice patio. Most people pick up their orders to go. The girls who work there are all so beautiful and friendly and their prices are really reasonable. True french bakery, french owner, quality product at an affordable price. Good service. I highly recommend C'est si bon bakery. Merci. À la prochaine... read more

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.

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

The hold that their chocolate croissants and apricot tarts have on me is crazy. Must try!

This made for a lovely spontaneous respite. Sitting outside by waterfall in shade and no annoying conversations nearby. The food is too good, people busy enjoying every bite. But the real winner is the staff. When a dude tried to cut me in line the lovely woman behind the counter politely checked him. We then chatted about the Bomb cake which looks insanely good while she made a very fine oatmilk capp. I would come back to try their sandwiches and buy a traditional batard. C'est si Bon lived up to its name today. read more

Was my to go place when I lived nearby decade ago. Still busy in the morning, parking can be tricky but manageable. The place is big, clean and filled with baked goods and café aroma. Line can be long but moved quickly. Staff are nice, fast and attentive to your ordered. If you order anything that needs to prepare in the back, suck as sandwiches, soup, salads, etc. then you might have to wait abit long longer (5-10mins) depending on how many ahead of you. There are window seatings inside and there is a courtyard on the side of the store that covered with trees and plenty of table and chairs. The foods are good, not the best but good. Prices are not bad either, and you can choose what go into your sandwich or others, which is great. Glad I stopped by to relive the good old time and tasted the good food. read more

Be sure to come here when not too busy like lunch time. Being said that, the Chicken Curry sandwich on baguette was delicious.

Wow! I can't believe it took me this long to find this place. After visiting somewhere else in this beautiful shopping center, we stumbled upon this busy cafe and promised to visit back. Several months too late, we made our way back with family. The customer service, food quality, curated variety, and no-longer-available pricing makes this place an indubitable 5 stars. I think the last time I saw coffee under $3 was when I was younger than 10 years old! In terms of ordering drinks or sandwiches, I like the customizability. The sandwich bags and coffee cups each respectively have sections to write up your order. The sandwiches were tasty, had high-quality ingredients, and were cheaper than Subway! The Chicken Tarragon on Baguette was absolutely delicious. I ordered it with an Iced Pomegranate Green Tea which was subtle and refreshing. My family shared a slice of cake which was so decadent. read more
