    Pastry
    Mitch R.

    The pastries always get the job done but you're definitely coming here for the vibe over anything. Being on PCH and sitting on the patio is a great way to start a Saturday.

    Cute little pink cafe with brunch and lunch options. Stumbled into this pink playhouse post work out. One standout was their endless options for both savory and sweet crepes. Wanted to try them all. This time decided on the La Nordic crepe which consisted of smoked salmon, Gruyère cheese, and lemon chantilly. Honestly the salmon was more cooked than I was hoping for and a bit fishy side. Flavor was ok but wished I had ordered the other I was eyeing...La Tomato (mozzarella, tomato, and basil) or the La 4 seasons (scrambled eggs, cheese, and variety of veggies). Paired with a strawberry matcha which was good but nothing special. Added the flourless chocolate cake. So soft but but on the dry side. Flavor was just ok. They also had a whole variety of pastries which looked delicious. Will be coming back to try the others for sure.

    We frequent Rendez Vous often for breakfast because this charming place is consistently great on every level. It's a small, always a busy spot, but the staff are warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. Their display of breads, pastries, cakes, cookies basically whatever your heart desires is both beautiful and delicious. The coffee and breakfast never miss. If you're in the area, definitely check out this adorable French café promise they won't disappoint!

    Excellent service...by cashier and servers! Quaint and cosy outside and inside. We ordered plain butter and ham with Parmesan croissants... Both huge!!!! So flaky, crunchy with melted Parmesan cheese on top of ham one. Inside was so airy...with a bit of ham on the bottom! We shared chicken Alfredo with little edible flowers adorned the edge and huge slides of Parmesan covered the whole plate. It came with two slices of their own bread! Thick creamy sauce was so flavorful as we break up the cheese and mixed it in, good size roasted chicken, very filling! I was so hungry that I didn't take a picture, but showcased what's onsite. This establishment is a must. I think I'll come and fly in! Ciao!!!

    Can't say this enough, but I love crepes and can't say no to one when I see it on the menu. Today I stepped in and saw and lemon sugar crepe on the menu. I am very fond of anything lemon so I had to give it a try. There was not enough lemon, but the pockets of sugar was fun. I was a bit disappointed but I'll come back and try their other offerings. I also got a chocolate croissant to go. It was toward the end of the day and it was still very good. I saved it for the next day, toasted it up a bit and enjoyed it with some tea. Great service. Casual. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Street parking. Please come and create your own experience.

    Rendez Vous is located on one of the main streets in Corona del Mar. We came during the week and so parking wasn't an issue but I can see it as a challenge during a busy weekend or prime time hours. Walking in, I immediately got the French vibes - pastries in cases, cafe menu, indoor and outdoor seating. I want to say taking in the ambiance was my favorite part of my experience here. We ordered a few coffees and pastries and got situated in a corner table. I only wish their customer service, their coffee and their pastries were in sync with their aesthetics. We didn't get the cheery, merry mood that most people are in during this time of the year; she wasn't welcoming or warm or approachable. Their coffee and pastries were fair which was also disappointing.

    Quaint Parisian cafe on PCH in Corona del Mar. I appreciate the high tea aspect of the establishment. The cafe is decked out in p-i-n-k! The food was pretty good! I had the veggie panini and my friend had a savory crepe. The wait time was minimal considering how crowded it was in Corona del Mar. I need to return to experience their High Tea!!

    Adorable spot with really friendly service and yummy food! We had the lemon powdered sugar crepe and a chai latte, with a side of bacon and everything was great. Can't wait to come back and try the delicious looking pastries next time!

    We've been eye-balling this bakery for some time, and it did not disappoint! There was convenient street parking midmorning on a Saturday, quick and friendly service behind the counter and at the table. Between the guava danish, napoleon, and strawberry croissant, our sampling was a perfect 3 for 3! Any pastry fan needs to visit this business, delicious! A delightful indoor seating area and a small outdoor patio is available. Great environment for a date or with kiddos. (There's also a farmers market across the street on Saturdays, so make a morning of your visit to CDM!

    Eggs Benedict
    Pat C.

    We had Eggs Benedict, almond croissant and Croque Monsieur. Everything was delicious. Eggs Benedict maybe the best I've had, Almond croissant was so so good. Small place with small tables but very reminiscent of a Paris bakery.

    Half a mile from the beach, is this cute and charming little French cafe. Service was very friendly and helpful from staff. Really enjoyed the coffee and dessert. Ordered: biscoff latte, dulce de leche latte, hot chocolate, fruit tart, raspberry dome, & cheddar jalapeño crossiant. Paid about $42 for everything. Great selection of sweet and savory. Limited parking spots, there were a handful of spots on the street for free.

    In town for a wedding and decided to check out this place, so glad we did. On the PCH, it's conveniently located close to the beach and around shops. When we walked in, it was extremely busy, which is always a great sign. We got a seat outside, which outside of the street noise that they can't control, it was a quaint setting. It gave off a sitting on a busy street in Paris vibe. Let's start with the crookie. Oh. My. Gosh. One word.....heavenly. They heated it to the perfect temperature. It had the 2 cookies on top but inside is where the real magic is. It had a cookie heated to the perfect temperature that when you bite in, it oozed out the most amazing goodness. Next we had the La Payasanne, which was delicious. The chicken was so tender, when you bit into it, it just melted in your mouth. The combination of the cheese, mushrooms and sauce just made this dish 2 thumbs up. The other item was the Croque Madame. The ham, cheese, and sauce was nestled between 2 thick slices of toast. It could have used a little more sauce for my taste but the flavor was still amazing. I would definitely eat it again. This is somewhere that I would recommend to all my friends that are in this area or coming by.

    Brunch at Great Maple easily earns a spot in the upper tier of Newport Beach brunch destinations…read more The space feels effortlessly stylish -- bright, energetic, and polished without trying too hard. Even during peak brunch hours, the atmosphere stays lively rather than chaotic, which already puts it ahead of many popular spots in the area. We went straight for the Rib Eye Melt and the Steak & Eggs, and both were standout choices. The Rib Eye Melt was the star: tender, flavorful steak layered with perfectly melted cheese on crisp, buttery bread that balanced richness with texture. Every bite felt indulgent but well executed. The Steak & Eggs delivered exactly what you want from a classic done right -- a well-seasoned steak with a beautiful sear, cooked perfectly and paired with eggs that tied the plate together into a satisfying, no-frills brunch win. Service stayed attentive and efficient despite the crowd, and dishes came out paced perfectly. Great Maple understands elevated comfort food and executes it consistently well. Come hungry -- this is brunch that leans generous, satisfying, and absolutely worth the visit.

The strawberry donuts were a great finish, amazing texture unlike any donut, almost a cross between a donut and bagel but better than both. So why the 3? From the moment we sat down the service was off. The server didn't bother to ask our side of the table what we wanted to drink, nor did he give us a menu til I asked. And when I asked for a water he responded, "You want another water?" I wasn't even given a water to begin with.

And it came from a breakfast joint, which is super rare in and of itself. Having lived in Southern California for many many years, I thought I had seen and experienced just about everything in the way of good places to eat. As I was driving around looking for some breakfast, I stumbled across oeb breakfast. And I am so glad I did. For starters, when you walk through the door, the place is bright and Cherry and has just the right amount of whimsy. It's neatly laid out and everything is in full view. It only took a moment my server to come get me at the front and direct me to a table. Let's talk about the service. Having been in the food service industry, I know what it takes to have a great dining experience. Caesar, who was my waiter, took care of me in a level that I have not seen in a very long time. Personable, gracious, accommodating, and helpful are just a few of the words I would use to describe my experience being served by him. I asked for coffee and water and within moments it arrived on my table. Side note, the coffee is off the chain! It is a brand called Umbria and it is amazing. After scanning the menu, I opted for the beef bulldogi Benedict with the beef Tallow fries. I asked for the fries extra crispy, and ask for my milk to be served with breakfast. If you've read any of my Yelp reviews on breakfast places, you know that that is one of my litmus tests for the accuracy of the order. If I have to ask for my milk after the meal's been delivered, they're not doing their job. Not that I'm picky, for me. It is just a way to determine how good of a listener the server actually is. It didn't take long at all for the food to be delivered. The presentation was absolutely amazing, as we eat with our eyes. First, I have to say that the way the food was plated was definitely a work of art. Once the food was dropped off half of me was going. I wonder if they will remember... And before I could finish my thought Caesar showed back up with the milk. Home run! The food itself was absolutely wonderful, I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a breakfast as much as this one. All the flavors were there, it was perfectly balanced, and was just a pleasant dining experience overall. Bragging on Caesar again, as I was sitting there, the restaurant started to get very busy, he handled himself with such Grace and poise and didn't let the mounting tension frazzle him. Again, I wish this place was in my hometown so I could come here more often, but you can bet that I will be back here multiple times. Bottom line? There aren't many places that I would tell friends they definitely absolutely had to go to. But oeb breakfast is now on the top of the list for me to recommend to my friends.

(Did not take a picture of it) Korean Bulgogi Benedict: 7/10 Some parts of the meat wasn't fully marinated from what I tasted. Some of my bites of the meat were flavorful. A little weird to have 2 pieces of spinach as a garnish. Never seen that before. Potatoes were really good. Can't go wrong with those. Short Rib bowl: 8/10 everything in that bowl were amazing together. Banana Cream Pie French Toast: 4/10 this was a miss for me. Nothing amazing about it. The custard part was off for me. Maybe if it was more of a banana pudding, it would be better with the cream. Didn't really taste like a banana cream pie. Green Machine: 10/10! So good and refreshing Chocolate Milk: needed more chocolate. They gave us a cup with it 1/4 filled because they ran out of milk since it was so busy and never came back with more. I didn't want to bother them and ask them about it, but checked the bill and they only charged us half for it... so we just paid for it and left it as is.
