    Cappuccino and pastry
    Adele M.

    Just a comment - I come here very often. Normally have to wait for tables to be bused - today on the patio on the street, There are five tables that need to be bused . Please make this aware of your employees. While I was sitting here, enjoying my afternoon coffee and pastry two girls came out and each clean one table. Then finally a young lady( with a nose ring )came with a dish pan & cleaned all the tables

    I was in the mood for a cappuccino, and decided to stop by this French-inspired bakery. I appreciate how their bread is made fresh, and all the lovely looking pastries. I didn't get to try one this time around, but will surely do, next time. Turns out they don't make cappuccinos here, but Angus, who was cheerfully working at the front (greeted absolutely everyone!), was kind enough to make me a latte with extra foam as a replacement. It was perfect! The drink made my first ever visit to downtown San Clemente that much more enjoyable!

    Delicious pastries

    They've recently expanded. More space inside and products to purchase. Came for a lunchtime bite. The food is always on point no matter what I get! The veggie sandwich was so fresh and delicious. Crisp fresh vegetables and perfectly crusty baguette bread with a light side salad. The Brioche French toast was fluffy and flavorful and fries were perfectly thin and crispy. Good service.

    Chaupain bakery is a husband and wife team in San Clemente. It's very inviting and has a beautiful indoor and outdoor space . They offer great breads, pastries, quiches , breakfast and lunch. The staff is very polite and welcoming . We ordered Shakshuka de Tunis , pistachio Croissant and coffee. Everything was delicious. We purchased a multigrain bread to go . I highly recommend this bakery.

    Large Sourdough

    We were pleasantly surprised at the expansion of this bakery which now includes indoor and outdoor seating. We haven't had an opportunity to have breakfast or lunch here, but we have tried their sourdough bread and pastries. I purchased a large loaf of sourdough bread for $14 an Apricot Danish and a Chocolate Elfroy Croissant. The pastries here are absolutely delicious with the perfect amount of filling and crisp. The bread is fresh and there is a variety of breads including dessert breads along the wall. Service was friendly and I'll be back to enjoy their outdoor seating.

    Raspberry cheesecake
    Kylee P.

    This place is amazing! I am very hard to please when it comes to desserts and pastries. I got a croissant with some kind of cream in it with fruit on top that was delicious. The raspberry cheesecake was divine. I love cheesecake but am very particular, this one passed all the tests. The place is a little pricey, but if you remember it's California and near the beach then it's well worth the money. Workers were super helpful and there is lots of seating options.

    California Club Sandwich Chicken Pesto Sandwich

    We stopped in for cappuccino and pastries and had a great experience. We ordered a berry tart and an Opera cake--both were delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was excellent, and the cappuccino was just right: hot, well-balanced, and full of rich coffee flavor (not overly milky). Highly recommend.

    This was absolutely the best bakery I hit in San clemente. Far and away the most traditional and artisanal. A great selection of croissants, buns, and sweets adorn the counter. But, a freshly baked chocolate cookie awed me! Oh, a flaky cinnamon bun, too! Super clean, peaceful spot with tons of folks eating some fresh sandwiches on patio. Workers are nice, attentive. The selection is great and everything appears to be well executed

    My box of goodies sweet & savory

    I have been walking by this amazing bakery. They have a great outdoor dining area. Cute decor. The staff are friendly and helpful. You a tell they enjoy where they work. This place is always busy, everyone comes early, before they sell out of items. I purchased a variety of sweet and savory pastries, that I could share with my sister. I ordered: a French onion croissant, a jalapeño cheese croissant, a pecan sticky bun, apple tart, a cinnamon cream cheese bun, and a cold brew coffee with salted caramel foam. The sticky bun and cinnamon cream cheese bun are fantastic. The carmelization is perfection; at its finest. The flaky layers of buttery pastry are superb, crunchy and pillowy. I warmed up the apple tart it was perfect not very sweet with just the right amount of tartness. The onion & jalapeño cheese croissants we had for a morning snack the following day. They were still exceptional, the day after. Chaupain participates in the San Clemente Farmers Market on Sundays.

    Excellent breakfast! Merci for the quality and portions. The service is amazing and the patio is fantastic! Will definitely be back

    Chaupain Omelette and Borgia coffee! Savory but needed a sauce of some kind! Le faltó el toque latinoamericano. Pero bien, estuvo bueno!
    Gloria H.

    Borgia coffee! So interesting flavors as I sipped the iced coffee, I know I ordered coffee but there's hint of aromatic tea flavors I can't quite remember I had before, and loved it. I must come back and tried the hot Borgia coffee. It reminds me of the Borgia brother and sister of that long ago show on cable!

    Breakfast sandwhich with no egg

    I had a really disappointing experience here. The cashier was extremely rude and completely unhelpful from the start, which set the tone for the whole visit. I tried to place a simple order--a breakfast sandwich without egg due to an allergy--which didn't seem like an unreasonable request, especially since all the ingredients are already part of their menu. Instead of accommodating or even trying to help, the request was met with attitude. When the sandwich finally came out, it was honestly ridiculous. It felt like there was little care or attention given, both in customer service and in preparing the food. Overall, the experience was frustrating and left a bad impression. I hope they take customer concerns more seriously in the future, especially when it comes to something as important as food allergies.

    I have been coming to this place for years and it's still fantastic! Cute place, people are friendly and everything is delish!

    Are the pastries able to be individually wrapped? or just the boxes

    We have pastry bags or boxes - we don’t have individual packaging otherwise. Thank you for your interest.

    Is the flour used to make the food imported from Europe or do you use flour created in the U.S.?

    Good morning No all pastries are not gluten free.

    Any Gluten Free options?

    They have fruit and salad and eggs but no pastry options

    Good morning Breakfast is all day till kitchen closes at 3.30 pm.

    Is there a cute outdoor patio for dining?

    There is a small outdoor patio for dining. I believe around 4-6 tables outside. At least the one in San Clemente, CA. 👍🏻

I see the ratings on this place and I wonder why? We ordered two steak plates; one Steak and eggs cooked rare and another steak and frites cooked medium. They were both terrible. Chewy and cooked wrong. The medium was cook rare and the rare one was goey. No flavor at all. I instantly regretted picking this location for brunch. I bagged up the steaks for my dog and headed out disappointed. For 62$ I wish I could say I was full and satisfied but I'm unfortunately not. Just lacking overall in taste. The breakfast potatoes tasted like free potatoes from a motel breakfast and the side salad with the steak frites just had a red vinaigrette dressing on Roman lettuce, no character at all. If you just want mimosas I guess this is a good place for that, they had a range in flavors from original orange juice to blueberry. But I recommend saving your money and cooking breakfast/lunch at home. The two stars are for the service! Food, no stars! 0 **They also have no ranch or A1 So I expected the steak to be on point.... Smh!

The interior is small but architecturally cool, with a tennis theme. There is a tiny patio in the back with a couple of tables and a lattice that provides some shade. I ordered a hot vanilla latte and a Nutella croissant from their pastry case. As is often the case at small coffee shops, there were no available seats at tables as all were taken by remote workers/students with their laptops. They have a narrow counter that was empty, so I ordered "for here" as I really wanted to relax and enjoy the coffee. I sat at the tiled counter and appreciated that my pastry was served on a ceramic plate and latte in a mug. The pastry was fresh with a flaky-crisp exterior and a bountiful amount of Nutella stuffed inside. The vanilla latte was served at immediate drinking temperature and the quality of espresso was excellent with a delectable vanilla under-flavor. Although this is "Happy" Coffee Club, the employees seemed emotionless and filled with ennui. Not welcoming or friendly at all. Once finished, I didn't see a place to return my plate & mug so decided to be nice and bring them to the counter. I was chastised and told that there is a tub on a shelf above the water station for dirty dishware. They also serve beer and wine here, which is probably what one needs to truly be in the Happy Club.
