Mari rang me up and helped me pick out my drink order! Both were warm and patient. Went in on a Thursday morning and there was no wait. Bag of cakes is located on the Albertsons side of the plaza. I didn't have any issues with parking at this time of day. We ordered the: - pumpkin pie latte w the cream top - strawberry matcha latte - earl grey croffin - raspberry croffin - green onion bread - pepperoni pizza bread - ham and cheese croissant We enjoyed everything! Loved the pumpkin pie latte, super sweet and cozy like I wanted. The green onion bread was our favorite pastry! Really unique and tasty but be warned that the onion is stronggggg. The store has some tables and an island in the middle. Enough space for you to enjoy your pastries and drink but may be a little cramped if you're trying to stay for a while. If you're looking to try multiple pastries, it definitely adds up, but so worth it!

I went to Chaupain with my pregnant wife and, in a gesture of solidarity, also began eating for…read moretwo. We went gloriously overboard: the open-faced salmon lox sandwich, strawberry evalope, chocolate Elfroy , and mille-feuille. The salmon sandwich was fresh and flavorful, though the cream could have been ever so slightly thicker and the ciabatta bread slightly more toasted. The strawberry evalope and chocolate Elroy were terrific: delicately crisp croissants, butter beautifully balanced, and fillings/toppings sweet but thankfully restrained from becoming sugar bombs. But the mille-feuille was utterly incredible and the reason to write this review. It was like the perfect vanilla ice-cream cone flavor transformed into 1000 crispy, buttery, flaky layers, with a restrained custard that let every texture and flavor shine. I'm not even a vanilla fan and it was pure joy. A transcendent pastry experience--and worth every calorie we pretended not to count. Five stars. As the owner of a Mom and Pop cabinetry store, I have to congratulate Sami and Sarah, you guys are crushing it!!

Chaupain can never go wrong in my book and will always be a go to spot for pastries and brunch…read more This was my second time at Chaupain but first time at the San Clemente location. This time around we got the shakshouka, chicken pesto sandwich, smoked salmon tartine, and the pistachio croissant. Everything was amazing, as expected. Their bread and pastries are top tier, you can really tell that they use high quality ingredients. Their croissants are honestly the best I've ever had. So flakey and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

This is by far one of the cutest shops i've stepped into. You are transported to a whole new world…read morewhenever you walk in the front door. The natural light is inspiring, and there is plenty of nooks and tables for you to sit down with friends, family, or a computer to work on. I had each flavour of cake pop, chocolate and vanilla. They were different than other cake pops i've had. I personally was not a huge fan of them. I was however quite impressed with the biscoff latte. there was a cookie on top, and lots of their biscoff syrup at the bottom of the drink. when you take sips, you get chunks of the syrup which i appreciated. i wish i had more time to sit in this shop and enjoy my time. i will definitely be coming back to try out more of the menu!

I really like the basque cheesecake here. It's so nice to not have an overly sweet cheesecake. I…read moreenjoyed it enough to come back for that item alone. I also tried the matcha brownie and sabo but wasn't a big fan of either. That's fine. I loved the cheesecake enough on its own. The lady who helped me behind the counter (l think she was the owner) was super sweet and helpful. I appreciate that so much in this day and age where service is really slipping at most businesses.

Its very overpriced here when it comes to its pastries. Even when the slice of cheesecake is 7.70$…read moreat 40% off, its still horrendously overpriced. It has a small dessert section but for whatever pastries I got, it tasted pretty good. I has the cheesecake slice and chocolate and caramel cookies. The samples were nice. The cookies were not overbearing in sweetness. The yogurt drink i got lacked "yogurt" but tasted good nonetheless. The milk tea was a bit too sweet. I had to give that to my son. The drinks itself was very affordable. 5.50$ - 7.00$. And you get the 2nd drink half off. Its very small inside but i loved that there were tables outside.

I will never, ever stop raving about this place. Again we came in hungry and left happy…read more We tried the Korean Tteok mochi and I was floored at how good it was. I wasn't able to take a picture, we wolfed it down before we got the chance to. We also had our favorite jambon beurre and nui xao bo (stir fry beef macaroni). Bonus: The owner made us sample the most delicate, most delicious cream puff. It's so good.

My friends and I went to sip and sugar for the Oogie boogie tea party…read more I've been there before for lunch, but not for their tea. It was quite crowded the day we were there, and it appeared as they only had one server. So the service was a little slow. But the food was excellent the sandwiches and all the different desserts were all excellent. The tea was great. I would highly recommend this place. The decor is very pretty and elegant. I've been to many tea houses, and this is one of my top five

Vibe: Girly and cute, the place is adorned with faux flowers on the wall, flower table cloths, pink…read morevelvet chairs. Definitely an overall Pink theme. It looks clean and spacious enough for a small scale tea shop. There are a-la-carte menu items (pastries, tea) and an afternoon tea menu. Price: $45 for the Royal Tea Experience package which is extremely reasonable considering what you get. There is a 90 mins max for each tea experience. They are pretty booked from what I saw. Food: For the Royal Tea Experience, each of us got: tea of choice, 5 tea sandwiches (Cucumber Dill Cream cheese, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Cranberry Turkey pinwheel, Roast Beed Arugula), 2 scones (Vanilla and Strawberry), Cream, Strawberry preserve, berries and some grapes, 3 desserts (mini muffin, Chocolate brownie, some kind of mini cake). The tea pots were a lot smaller than other places I've been to (probably enough for 1.5 cups of tea if filled to the rim). I love the heart-shaped sugar cubes, the size is just enough for a half teaspoon of sugar. They didn't have any milk for the tea set up like other places I've been to. I love the roast beef sandwich balanced flavor; the chicken one is really bland, a dash of curry powder would enhance the flavor more in my opinion; the cucumber needs to be sliced thinner as these slices are rather chunky; the scones are fine - I usually prefer my scones warm but only 1 place I know that serve it that way. The tea selection is decent, I went for Jasmine Rose. I feel that the scent and tea flavor was rather weak. There was barely any scent of each so it didn't leave a big impression on me. I want to try other ones in the future for sure. The staff was super nice to offer an extra tea bag if the flavor is too weak so I went for another bag. Service: Excellent! They were fast, courteous, and friendly. 2 staff made their rounds frequently to check on us and made sure we had enough hot water in our tea pots . Parking: This is where I docked up a star. The parking lot is shared with many businesses in the same strip mall. I came here at 10 AM on a Saturday and the whole parking lot was filled, there was no spot for me to park. My friend had to park all the way on the other side of the mall and I managed to find some parking in the back (side street). Avoid lunch time at all cost, there were cars waiting around as they couldn't find any parking. After the tea experience, we went somewhere else and upon coming back around 3 PM, half the parking lot is empty. If I would give anyone a tip on the parking time, it seems to be ideal around this time.

Such a cute little spot in Laguna Beach!…read more They have over 26 macaron flavors to choose from, and everything looked so pretty and fresh. The macarons had the perfect texture -- slightly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy inside. Loved the variety of flavors, and it's the perfect place to grab a little sweet treat while walking around Laguna!

This was a cute little macaroon shop that we visited while in Laguna Beach…read more The shop is very clean, well put together and super cute and girly. There wasn't many visitors at the time we stopped in, and there was only one associate working behind the counter. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we ordered a variety box of six. A box of six will run you about $26, which isn't bad I suppose for the area. We haven't tried all of the flavors yet, but the pistachio is by far one of the best.. if you're in the area and you're a huge macaroon fan like I am definitely stop in and check out this shop, it's well worth it.

Bag O' Cakes was so cute and everything we got was really good! We all got the pepperoni pizza and…read moreI actually really liked it. The bread was soft and fluffy, the cheese was good, and the pepperoni had a lot of flavor. For pastries, we all tried something different. One of us got the cookie dough chocolate croissant, another got the crème brûlée croissant, and I got the churro croissant. My churro croissant was so good and I loved the cinnamon sugar on it. The pastries were definitely one of my favorite parts. For drinks, we got a banana pudding matcha, an iced chai latte, and another iced drink. The banana pudding matcha was super unique and looked so good, and the chai was really good too. The cafe itself was also really cute and a nice place to sit, eat, and get some work done. Everything looked so pretty and there were so many things I wanted to try. I would definitely come back and try more of their pastries and drinks!

They were all really pretty though but I didn't end up ordering anything else. The matcha einspanner ($7.80) less sweet though? BEAUTIFUL. She is beauty she is grace. I'm really glad I lowered the sugar because it was perfect for me just slightly sweet matcha + full richness and sugar from original cream top. There's so many fake, weak matchas nowadays and this was just the best one I've had in a really long time. It doesn't try too hard to be showy or fancy or anything either. Just good matcha and a good cream top. Good ratio of milk, cream, everything. Super respectable shade of green and you can taste the matcha. It was mixed well and was nice and smooth. I really liked it!!

Since I rarely go to bakery or pastry shops, I decided to try Paris Baguette for a special treat…read more It was my first time visiting this chain, so I downloaded their app and placed an online order for pickup to make things easy. I ordered the Ms. Bear and Mr. Bear snacks, along with a slice of cake. Unfortunately, the overall experience was pretty mediocre. Even though I arrived well past my scheduled pickup time, my order still wasn't ready. The staff hadn't prepared the cake slice yet and had to hastily package a new one for me while I waited, which defeats the purpose of ordering ahead on the app. As for the desserts themselves, they were just okay. The bear snacks are definitely cute, but the taste left a lot to be desired. I've certainly been to other bakeries that taste much better for the price. Overall, an underwhelming first impression.
