Wow! I can honestly say we were all blown away by the birthday cake my hubby ordered for my…read morebirthday. I had one simple request make it taste like a ding dong aka hostess cupcake. It was probably the best cake we've ever had! The flavor was dead on and the cake itself was super moist. Our only regret was not getting a bigger cake for more leftovers.

We tried this place for a custom cake about 6 years ago. While the look was amazing, I didn't think…read morethe flavor was great. This time for my birthday, I thought we'd try a standard flavor cake since they should be making it on the regular. We got the lemon delight. It was super sweet. I couldn't eat any of the frosting and the frosting filling next to the lemon was very sweet. They also messed up my name. I remember my husband spelling out my name like the military nato style too but what was written on the order form was wrong. And then on the cake was wrong and didn't even match the order form. I know my name is difficult but I guess the decorator wasn't there so it was a difficult fix. They apologized and gave us candles. On a side note and not affecting this rating: We ate at the cafe side once and it was good. But we sat outside and had a bad experience unrelated to the cafe. Someone with their huge hairy dog was just outside the cafe and rubbing their long hair dog getting it into the air and the wind was blowing it all over our food and drinks and also in the nearby tables. Definitely killed the appetite. This is not affecting the rating. Rating is based solely on the cakes.

I'm typically suspicious of French cafes, they never really hit the spot, and not because I try them with the expectation of getting a true French style product, but I'm just very often disappointed by the general quality. I'm so glad I gave this a go. We tried both savory and sweet pastries, and they were all absolutely delicious. To the point that I ordered a few more to go. The croissant with cream and berry was gorgeous, not overly sweet, which is sadly so rare, and the feta cheese and mushroom pastry was amazing. The person behind the counter was also super sweet and helpful. If I were a local, this would be my almost daily spot.

cute little shop. it's street facing and i was able to (illegally?) park right in front of it, but…read morea LOT of other cars were doing it too so it must be a common thing since people are just running in an out of that area. i was visiting dana point for a beach camping birthday party and have never been to the area before. this bakery was easy to find and very close to the state beach entrance. it was an incredibly hot day so even though my intention was to just run in and grab a pastry, i tied my dog to a patio chair right outside the door. staff was very nice and said she could come in, since all their items are behind glass or bagged up but i didn't take them up on the offer. they offer lemon water in the lobby but staff was kind enough to get me fresh, plain water in a cup of ice for my dog while i shopped. they have loaves and loaves of fresh bread against the wall, a section for baked pastries, and fridge of little cakes and brulees and quiches. then there is another little fridge of thick yogurts and drinks. their custard croissants looked amazing and staff was really nice about recommendations. she didn't even try to upsell me, really. i got a chocolate croissant, a raspberry custard croissant, a cinnamon bun, an almond croissant, and mushroom alfredo pizza pastry. all of the breads were delicious and held up in the fridge as i had to spread out how often/quickly i ate them. i also go the vanilla lemonade, which was good, but tbh just tasted like regular lemonade. overall very nice experience and i would go back!

The you f man who waited on me made good conversation with me and also mentioned telnet owned a clothing store next door. There are some cute little bistro tables inside and nice coffee shop decor. What I loved most is I noticed the music was faith based. And the I realized the shop is named 3:16 Bakery Shop, for the scripture passage John 3:16. It was a calm and uplifting environment. It's conveniently located near the train station. I loved my peanut butter gelato

The 3:16 Bakery Shop is around half a block from the Amtrak/Metrolink San Juan Capistrano station. Wednesday was a little different. Went to 3:16 Bakery Shop after getting off the train and got a honey bran muffin. I found a nice place to sit with a view of Verdugo Street. Every time I am at the 3:16 Bakery Shop everything looks very good but I always end up getting a honey bran muffin.

Most recently, they made a custom cake for my nephew, and my whole family absolutely loved it! It was beautiful, exactly what we were hoping for, and tasted just as good as it looked. The baker is incredibly talented, and you can tell a lot of care went into making it. I've also been here on separate occasions for brunch, and the food has always been delicious. The staff has always taken such great care of us and made us feel welcome. I especially love supporting family-owned small businesses, and this is the kind of place I'm happy to come back to. Thank you for the beautiful cake, the delicious food, and the wonderful service!

DAYS old pastries should be given away to employees or marked down. This shows a lack of care/professionalism on owners part. Staff was great but the restaurant was consistently understaffed and servers/bussers stretched to the max. I felt sorry for how stressed they ALL were! Owner needs to rethink the needs as it could be a much better experience for everyone.

A warm brownie cookie with a caramel filling. The interior is SOFT and the whole thing just melts in your mouth. This is a very rich cookie, so share it or eat in moderation! THE PARKING. Parking is not easily available. If you're lucky, you can park on the street right next to the shop. If you can't find parking there, you'll have to look further out. THE VERDICT.

I came here on a weekday just after opening. The fellow working here was really nice and was…read morehelpful in explaining various offerings and giving recommendations. They have cookies with fillings! And also some shakes and "dirty drinks" (flavored sodas). They have classic cookie options on the menu all the time and several cookie types that rotate weekly. I purchased two cookies and a drink. They have a couple tables inside but I decided to take the cookies home and enjoy the drink on the road. The two cookies I chose were the chocolate chip and the cookies & cream plus the Coco-Loco as my drink. The Coco-Loco is best described as a coconut Coke. It was fantastic, way better than I expected. I appreciated the finely ground ice in the bottom portion of the cup. My pet peeve is when places fill the cup to the top with ice and your drink is gone in three sips but here they provide just enough to keep it cold and refreshing. The cookies are presented in their own box and are large. They are soft cookies but ever-so-slightly crisp on the outside with soft fillings. The chocolate chip cookie had a filling that was essentially chocolate chip cookie dough. It was incredibly delicious and I would definitely get this one again. The cookies & cream had what tasted like Oreo frosting inside and was very good. It was a bit messier as it has crumbles on top and also the weight of the filling caused the soft cookie to fall apart, which one must be conscious of when eating these cookies. It's actually easier to eat when it's in a few pieces. Being a cookie-lover, I find what they have here to be better than what you get at other well-known cookie stores.

Carrie B. was absolutely AWFUL!!! I have shopped at this particular NBC location numerous times, as…read morewell as others, and have always had a great experience. But NOT today. I walked in with another customer and the store/counter was empty. Carrie came out and didn't greet either one of us. The other customer had a pre-order and it wasn't ready. She didn't apologize for that and took SO long to complete it. She literally moved like a turtle and the customer was not happy. He pre-ordered it and needed it then. While we were waiting, 2 other customers came in. By the time she got to me (8 minutes later), she didn't apologize for the wait or make any of us feel welcome. I purchased 5 bundlet cakes - 3 of which were going to be put in a "triple tower" - and picked out the accessories for it. She rang me up and then proceeded to tell me she'd complete my order after she helped the 2 customers! WTH!!! Finish my order! She proceeded to talk to the other 2 customers - both of whom had online orders. She had to make 1 of them because it also wasn't ready. Again, NO apologies for anything! Especially to me for ignoring me and my purchase!! I just stood there in disbelief. Her attitude was terrible and she didn't thank any of us for our purchases, orders, etc. I submitted the NBC online survey and hope she is spoken to by management and reprimanded.
