I really hate to do this, but with inflation and food quality going down everywhere it's important to know where you can splurge. I've been here in the past when it was good. The pastry around this tasted off and unluckily for me I ate this in a dimly lit room so I fully digested a couple moldy fruits before noticing everything where the fruit met the custard was molded. I don't know why I tried pushing past the initial bad taste to get halfway in, LOL. I didn't want to give them one star for this since it could've just been one bad shift, but buyer beware. This means the temperature is not being controlled in the kitchen or they're selling older products and it had time to mold in the pastry case. Worst case scenario is the pastry chef put moldy fruit on this danish. The bread felt a little stale so I'm guessing it was old. read more

Nice indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered and sat outside to get some vitamin D. Reasonable prices!

I keep coming back here for two things 1. Affogato 2. Rustic baguette Sometimes its the simple things in life that makes me happy. The expresso and gelato together is perfect when you need caffeine and something sweet. The rustic baguette because its perfect even by itself. Nice crunch on the outside with nice warm interior. I usually pair it truffle butter and English cheddar that I get from the nearby farmers market. read more

Came here with my boyfriend on a Wednesday afternoon and sadly, we just weren't impressed. We got two Napoleons and one oreo cheesecake- the total came out to be $20 for those three pastries :( The Napoleon was plain messy to eat, but tasted pretty good. I think the flaky pastry part had gotten a little hard and stale, so trying to cut it against the pillowy cream was a hassle. The oreo cheesecake was slightly worse- more like a pudding than a cheesecake, and the oreo flavor was nonexistent. We may have just picked the wrong pastries to try, but we just didn't think it was anything special, especially for the heavy price tag. The interior here is very lovely, however. Beautiful colors and plenty of seating. Lots of outdoor seating as well. I guess you could say that I'm not happy about my experience here, but I won't say I'm completely dissatisfied. read more

We needed a restaurant like pandor for years, we love their breakfast and lunch menu. They have the best coffee. Most delicious sandwich is their turnkey and Avocado sandwich, their bread is amazing, Servcie is great. We go there at least once a week. The owner is super friendly and always makes us feel welcome. Ambiance is great too, great decor. If you are looking for a good casual place to eat, try Pandor. 5 star read more

I thoroughly enjoy French culture and Pandor's ambiance does emit such vibes to me. The location and business hours make it very convenient for me to grab a bite any time I feel like grubbing. Food: 90% of the time has been great and extremely positive. Their paninis and fries are crunchy. The crêpes are full of flavors, regardless of sweet or savory, as the cuisine typically should be. My favorite has been the Havana where the content portion is generous. Cost: I believe that the price range is pretty standard. In fact, it's probably even better than other places that are marketed as "gourmet" burgers such as Red Robin. Service: The staff there has been nothing but friendly to me. There was an instance that one of my orders was lost (somehow) but the cashier took a lot of ownership on delivering the dish correctly. Atmosphere: My favorite part of the restaurant is the huge TV that is hung above the entrance door. This year had especially been fun with the World Cup so getting to watch that on a TV of that size was enjoyable. read more

Went to grab a cup of coffee after I had lunch with a friend at Bosscat Kitchen what a surprise this place was. Got a latte it was so smooth and delicious. Not bitter which I find most coffee shops serve. Great desert selection and yummy things to take home like jams. A must visit! read more

The prices on the menu don't reflect the actual cost of the food. This feels very disingenuous and as customers we expect prices to be accurate. However, the food is very good, especially the Italian Panini. If it weren't for the inflated pricing I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Can't believe I haven't tried this place before! It's been bookmarked forever but we finally had a chance today to try it out. Ordered to go. 1. OMG Latte. Not sure if they have an iced option, but as a hot drink I enjoyed it. It's sweet and tastes like a warm hug. Don't think about the sugar when you drink this, just enjoy it. 2. Havana sandwich. Much larger than anticipated; ended up eating this for breakfast AND lunch. Would order again, the caramelized onions added a nice touch. 3. Flat white - husband said it was "actually okay," so it was probably very very good. 4. Quiche Lorraine - "It's not a bad quiche." I didn't have any, husband ate it without complaint. Apparently they're opening up two new locations. I hope the quality here remains constant after they expand. read more

Food is good. Love their almond croissant. Restaurant is always clean. The one thing I can't stand as I was in a hurry to get to work this morning the coffee person was on the phone laughing. This is the third time I've come here and they are on the phone. It's not professional at all. Heaven forbid you prioritize the coffee order over your personal call. Annoying. read more

Very disappointed on my first time coming here to buy some dessert. First and last time coming to this pathetic store owned by a trash owner. There are 6+ employees including the owner working that evening. There was one group ahead of us taking their sweet time ordering. Which is fine, i get it. But after the cashier takes order from the previous customer, he walks away as if Im non-existent. He moves on to the other counter to serve ice cream with no acknowledgment about "hey ill be right back, or they were first etc". There were several employees walking around the counter so I asked for help. I asked if anyone could ring me up after waiting for several minutes. They said only one staff knows how to use the cash register. WHAT STORE MANAGMENT HAVE ONLY ONE STAFF THAT KNOWS HOW TO USE THE CASH REGISTER. The OWNER Passes by and says "he can ring you up but he dont know how to use it. if he makes a mistake and rings you up higher price or error, that is your fault" MY FAULT? What kind of a joke or conversation is that to a customer. I expected the owner to help at the cash register, but no, he comes by and makes a sarcastic joke and walks away. Owner treating their customer with a joke thinking that I am being a bad customer for not having patience waiting at the counter for 5-10minutes. So should I stand at the register for another 10minutes without saying a word while your employees are just standing at the counter relabeling the pastries and menu? After finally ordering, the employee just hands the 3 pasteries in a clear plastic container. "Can I have a plastic bag?" You want me to juggle them back to my car? End of story, AVOID AND GO ELSE WHERE. Don't support this Small business family owned store who has an attitude. Owner has no professionalism, don't know how to train their staff or store. Update! Appreciate your direct message! Another outstanding professionalism. Attached a picture of your direct message here. Im suprised to see an owner use foul language. What's so wrong about asking to get your pastry rung up at the counter? You yourself had an attitude alone while talking sarcastically to a customer. Hilarious. Yeah me too! I remember you and your wife or daughter Tiffany Great im glad you remember us, Ill let my gf give you a review too since you mentioned. Not a problem read more

Food is pretty good but they need to update things because the menu online and in the shop says different prices for what they are actually charging when you order your food. Seems like just a management issue. Kids also working so it's not like they can do anything to rectify the situation. Seems like I'll only come back if I'm desperate. read more

Found this place on Yelp while browsing and the business came up as "hot and new". I've always been into trying out new businesses and spreading the word so I was excited to try this place out. We came here a week or so ago specifically for pistachio gelato because I've been craving it for months! Well, I looked at all their gelatos and asked the young lady if they had pistachio and she said said not today. I ended up getting the snickers, fiancé got the cappuccino and peach gelato. All three were delicious! We also got the pistachio cream brûlée, it was just okay for me. I couldn't taste the pistachio at all. Cute cafe, I'll be back here for their pistachio gelato... and maybe a macaroon or two. **Yelp and Google maps will take you to the other plaza. This place is right next to cha cha cafe and BJ's restaurant. read more

This place got crowded when we got there. You stand in line to order then go look for a seat if you want to dine there. They serve all types of breakfast foods, dessert, gelato and pastries. As well as beverages like coffee, teas, mimosas. I got a basic chocolate croissant and honey lavender latte. The croissant was buttery but I wished the chocolate chips were more proportional and scattered evenly. The latte wasn't bland and wasn't sweet. It was perfect. I could taste the floralness and it got me jittery all day. read more

We ordered the Lebanese breakfast and the Eggs Benedict and when they arrived we noticed the eggs were severely over cooked. The eggs were supposed to all be poached on both meals and i fear, it's common sense that poached eggs, especially in Eggs Benedict, are made to be slightly to very runny. Considering this and wanting to enjoy our meal, thinking it could have been a simple mistake easily fixed, I showed a server and asked that they please be remade. The workers immediately turned me away saying the eggs were not made wrong, and that poached eggs are boiled and are meant to be fully cooked and not meant to be runny. i told her that i've had these dishes here before and that the eggs were runny, as they should be, and she continued to ignore my request and complaint. She brought it to the cook and she told me that despite the eggs being fully cooked, practically a hard boiled egg at this point, was supposed to be a poached egg and how they were made. Which is super disappointing and confusing, as look up any picture online of a poached egg and the difference is astounding! I understand the restaurant was busy but it would have been nice to properly get what was ordered, and receive better and more polite customer service. Normally, eggs are made to the customers selection- such as scrambled, sunny side up, poached, etc. so i did not see why they were practically gaslighting me and had to be so rude when I was trying to be perfectly reasonable and kind, even given the fact that the eggs were so clearly not cooked well! Very disappointed and could see other customers who ordered the same thing slightly disappointed as well, just unsure to say anything. Very sad because the rest of the meal was pretty good but the service and the unfixed mistake of the egg was incredibly unsatisfactory. read more

Great sandwiches and delicious bakery items. I ordered the via havana, the omg latte, and added a cup of the soup of the day. Havana- The mustard, cornichons, and jalapeños took this Cuban favorite to the next level! The sandwich is made with a foot long baguette that is pressed and cut in half. I could only wet half so I had the other for dinner. Soup of the day was tomato bisque. Deee- liiii-cious! Came out piping hot, was tangy with a hint of sweetness, and super smooth! Now that's a bisque...no lumps. Omg for the OMG latte! No words! You get a tiny piece of their omg dessert on the side too! It's sweet and too sweet for my usual taste but I had to try it. It's called OMG for goodness sake!!! read more

This review is mainly for the food. Seems it lacks salt? I tried the Chicken and Mushroom crepe and all I can taste was the crepe. The white sauce would have been good if it was seasoned well. We also tried the Big Mec and my husband said the beef patty had no seasoning either. I've had their sandwiches and those were really good! Maybe just on off day for the kitchen? It happens. I'll probably still come back to have their pastries and sweet crepes. read more

All their meals and pastries are amazing. Croissants are a must. Staff is Sweet. Must try one of each item

The crème brule is Really yummy!! The quiches are also really good. Great location to walk around after and the vibe is really cool.

Nice and clean looking cafe. The pastries were so good looking that I ignored the one fly I saw in the case. Even with that I still have to give 4 stars because everything actually tasted really good and again, looked really perfect. I had the turkey and Brie sandwich. It had a great sauce but could have used a little more brie. The crepes are really good. We got the banana, strawberry and chocolate crepe and my wife and son dusted it. We also had a couple of frappes that were really good. We took home a piece of the carrot cake and a pear tart, both were great later that night. We also had a loaf of the French bread. Great with with some costco bruschetta all week. read more

It depends on what you order. Most pastries are good, the omg bar is phenomenal. Panini's are average. The service is bad. I ordered a lavender latte, and received a vanilla latte and when I asked, the barista just sprinkled literally 5 lavender buds on my drink which was cold as ice because it was sitting on the counter forever. It said Vanilla on it so I didn't know it was mine and didn't puck it up. I don't think I will go back. This is not the first time they make mistakes. read more

This was a pleasant discovery after a Wescom errand at the Marketplace. The hubby started Yelping to see what's new in the area. With the pandemic, unfortunately some places have closed down but there are a few new ones that popped up. And boy were we delighted after having a few treats from Pandor! We have been to the Orange location last year but they were about to close so not much selection to choose from at that time. Anyways, this Irvine location just opened a few weeks ago. It's clean, light and bright and tables were spaced apart for social distancing. We couldn't decide at first since almost everything just looked so scrumptious. Good thing the server offered us each a small bite-sized apple pie. Mind you, apple pie is not my normal go to - but Pandor's version is hard to resist because of how beautifully it was plated. And since I already had a small taste and knew how tasty this was, I had to have a bigger slice of it. I would def come back for that and the OmG bar which was crumbly and buttery and oh-so-delicious! The napoleon was on point as well but we've had better Choco Eclair at Le Panier in Seattle. Cannot wait to try their brekkie and of course, come back for the apple pie and OmG bar. read more

Wow, this place has some mixed reviews! I stopped by Friday morning to try their croissant. The place was hopping with their almond croissants almost sold out. I chose a plain croissant & apricot danish plus 12 oz latte. I was happy with everything and their bakery items were good. Not sure why so much hate. Barista guy did look cranky but he wasn't bothering me. I plan to come back for their French toast, it looked good! read more

Pandor - Apricot danish, latte - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

Discovered this place while looking for a coffee shop. Their regular sized latte drinks taste really good. The coffee flavor is strong but not bitter in any way. It's also pleasantly sweet, so there's no need to make adjustments like at other coffee shops. The worst part, however, is their large sized drinks. Apparently, they don't add any additional espresso, they just add more milk? So, it's just a massively diluted drink with barely any caffeine to carry you through the day. I ordered a large iced mocha once, and it tasted of faintly sweetened chocolate milk. 0/10 would recommend getting a large. Sandwiches and pastries here are really good here though. I came for the coffee but will frequent this place because of their lunch options. The sandwiches are pretty salty actually, but in a good way. They're also massive, which is always nice. Plus, it comes with a salad, which balances everything out. read more

Nice bakery with lots of options. Cappuccino was great. Unfortunately very disappointed with the pasty I chose. The Opera cake sponge was dry, and filling to cake ratio was too thin. Filling therefore could not compensate for the lack of moisture in sponge. I'll give them the benefit of doubt that other pastries are executed better. read more
