So yummy! Love the flavors of salty,spicy, and a little bit of sour. Lovely ambiance, lovely location, love the sneaky little tomatoes they have growing outside.
This is such a wonderful addition to this particular area in Laguna Beach. We were waiting for this to open and what a delicious surprise that all the foods, the bagels, the pastries, the sourdough bread, the frozen foods that you can prepare at home the jams, the snacks, the coffees everything is so delicious and so flavorful we just love this little breakfast spot. There's so much seating outside. There's a little on the inside, but you really wanna sit outside where you can see everything very kid and dog friendly. With a restroom right around the corner. Parking very close by.
We stopped here for lunch after going to the Laguna Beach farmers market. They offer a variety of baked goods and bread. All their menu items use their rye bread as well. To be honest, I think the bread was the best part of the meal. I ordered the avocado toast for $16, and unfortunate I think I could make better at home. The avocado was good but was heavily seasoned. Other toppings included cheese, tomatoes, and a generous amount of dill. Don't get me wrong it was fine, but I just wasn't a huge fan of the flavors. The market sandwich was also pretty mid. Basically a bunch of veggies on bread, which was about $14-15. I didn't try any of their sweets, so maybe those are better. But overall, I wasn't too impressed with the food here.
A true hidden gem , you can absolutely drive past this place and never know it was there. It's inside a whimsical, picturesk Little shopping center.it has a storybook feeling to it, very cute. Morning time around 10 for breakfast was a little bit of a long line but nothing we couldn't handle and absolutely worth the wait. My favorite breakfast in town so far. Had the rye breakfast sandwich which was delicious. Also the rye breakfast plate which didn't disappoint. Arnold Palmer tea was not the best., but the latte made up for it. Rye pancakes were very yummy.. and we absolutely loved our scone and coffee cake. We left this place full and very happy. We will absolutely be back.
First time trying this place. Cute little place. All the pastries looked delicious. Staff was friendly and nice. Ended up ordering quite a few things.
I had high hopes for this place after hearing great things but was very underwhelmed. We ordered a hot latte, iced oat milk vanilla latte and two pastries...but the barista switched the two and we are still unsure who got the oat milk and who had regular milk. Both coffees tasted burnt and bitter. My husband really enjoyed his pan our chocolate. The sweet scone was ok but nothing amazing. It has a nice patio area outside and the staff were friendly. Be prepared to wait in like a while. Can't say we'd go back to pay $30ish for two pastries and two coffees that were incorrectly made.
In Laguna for a little getaway mid week. Had a friend recommend Rye Goods as a great breakfast option. Arrived mid morning, around 10:30, was impressed by the people waiting in line and the outdoor tables that were filled with groups of friends enjoying their food. As one who loves Hispanic food I ordered the chilaquiles.. yummy mid morning breakfast, I thought. Unfortunately, cheese listed on the menu (Feta?, what about queso fresco?) was not available; replacement options were cheddar and Parmesan, a little odd all the way around, however I went with white cheddar. The dish arrived with very little cheese, the tortillas crisps were overpowering in chili sauce, way too much cilantro, decent amount of avocado, and the best part of the dish was the perfectly cooked egg. I could barely eat the tortillas due to the immense chili sauce, the egg was great- should have just ordered an egg.
Okay so the first the Sammy Chili Bagel is so delicious I had to bring my friend back to try it too! The cheddar jalapeño bagel was fresh, the cream cheese was delish just 10s across the board. On the other hand the Peaches and Cream Matcha latte sounded so delicious as a matcha lover and it was a complete disappointment, ngl i want my $10 back for that drink lol. It did not have a distinctive peach flavor or even matcha for that matter. It was milky and flavorless a complete opposite experience from the bagel. Maybe stick to the food and not the drinks when trying. Staff was super friendly chill vibes and the atmosphere was relaxing chill vibes as well. Will definitely be a forever fan of that bagel no doubt. Y'all broke my heart with the matcha though.
We ordered the peach burrata toast, the fruit wheel and the savory croissant, as well as the saffron latte. Everything was delicious and it's a very cute spot to enjoy. It gets quite busy, so go early!
A cute place for coffee and pastries in Laguna by the beach. I love their drinks and their coffee here is top quality. Tried their seasonal caramelized date cortado and it was incredible!! Food and pastries are average given the price. Some I've tried are not bad but usually lean dry. The coffee cake was a bit dry but not too sweet which I liked. I've had their pretzel which is not bad but a bit dry - would be amazing if dipped in a cheese or mustard sauce. Their breakfast place was great - definitely asked for ketchup on the side but really lovely simple plate served with amazing house bread that was the best thing on the plate. Service is great and everyone is super nice and helpful.
Wow not sure why this only has a 3.8 rating, I loved it here. Parked on the street & found some with no issue but depending on time of day it can get busy. I got the matcha latte with no sweeter & it was one of the best I've had. Also had the potato leek soup which was delicious along with included sourdough bread. We also got a cheese croissant which was so good. Service was fast & friendly. Plenty of seating inside & outside.
This is a cute little bakery with a few tables inside and plenty of outdoor seating, and a front and back entrance. I came across it as I was walking in the area in 2024, and have been here a handful of times since then. It used to be pretty good. I remember ordering the morning bun just because it is one of my favorite items. The morning bun- $6 is 2.5 stars. It is a little bit salty, and it tastes a little stale when it should be a sweeter pastry. It is lacking the crunch like other places I have had it. This time around, I also got their GINGERBREAD MAN COOKIE $7- 4 stars. It was a big, buttery, moist cookie, and the taste of molasses shined through. I was really looking forward to the apple turnover $7- 1 star, but it was the saddest of the bunch. It was very greasy on the outside and the layers fell apart. However, the inside was very dry and salty. The line is long and there is a bit of a wait, but the cashiers are nice. After paying $19 for three pastries, I really hoped they would taste decent. I had to throw the apple turnover away unfortunately because it was not edible. The quality of pastries has gone down. Not sure if they changed bakers or what the case is. I will not be returning.
Laguna Beach, CA Imitation is the best form of flattery. The strawberry jam thumbprint cookie is unique and one I just have not perfected to duplicate at home. Even though it's not a big cookie, it is quite rich and paired with a cup of tea, it is quite delightful to share and enjoy. This is not a typical thumbprint cookie, it's made with butter and a unique blend of flour and brown sugar to make it darker in color than your normal thumbprint cookie. The texture is soft and chewy but hefty and it almost melts in your mouth. I would put this at the top of my list as one of my favorite bakery cookies. The seeded bagel with house green scallion cream cheese is great as well, I forget to ask them to only slice it in half, versus in quarters. I haven't loved everything I've tried here although these seem to be my favorites so far. Service here is very pleasant the staff gets to know you.

Yes it is very hot inside. Yes they move at their own pace. Yes it gets very cramped when a line forms. I still think this place is amazing and the croissant is worth the stop! All the delicious layers you know and love plus a sourdough like tang? Sign me up again and again. Staff is also very friendly and the coffee is decent. Great shop location with charming outdoor seating area as well ! read more

I saw this on someone's TikTok as a recommendation but I definitely will never come back again. Disappointment. 1) There's some sort of flying thing around the food. Thats why they have those fans but it still doesn't prevent it from landing on the bread. 2) parking is street parking and pay with coins. Not too great but would be worth it paying IF it was good. 3) matcha latte had no flavor at all. Probably no sugar. Theres sugar on the side but because i ordered a cold drink it won't melt. 4) smores crossaint was super hard! Overcooked or left outside for way too long read more

I adore this little quaint place. It's so cozy and charming. Makes me feel like I'm back home in Europe for a moment. Their pastries, matcha and coffee are so yummy..as is their sourdough bread. So many goodies at this caffee/bakery read more
All around best cafe -- from their baked goods to their coffee to the yummy breakfast. We found out about them from the cookies that our local hotel offered guests, and had to try the restaurant! Their selection of baked goods is impressive, and the staff were very friendly. Ordered the Rye Breakfast, latte, and vegetarian nut chocolate chip cookie. Can't wait to go back. Limited indoor seating. Street parking available. read more
I will be honest, I did not know this was in Laguna Beach. We were out walking our dog and stumbled across it in one of the prettier courtyards off of Forest Avenue. There seems to be an entrance on both sides of the building, but we entered from Forest and kind of weave our way past some of the people who are waiting for their food and beverage. Service was friendly and helpful. It was my first time here and we were honestly just getting an iced vanilla latte. The food and bread and bakery items look delicious so we'll definitely come back and try that. Kind of a clean aesthetic, very simple. There's some indoor seating as well as the outdoor courtyard area. Dog friendly. I think our latte was $6.50. read more
This cafe is so hidden it feels like a reward once you've found it. Walking in, you're greeted by a heavenly aroma of fresh pastries. On a late Sunday afternoon, I was surprised to see the display case still stocked, we were in luck! The order: seasonal blueberry almond snail ($8), chocolate ganache coffee croissant ($7), and the berry refresher ($5.5). What intrigued me most was their sourdough croissant! A combination so new to me I had to try!! I'd recommend enjoying your pastries toasted it brings out the flavors more. The seasonal snail was a twisted sourdough croissant with blueberry and almond paste. Even with the sweetness of fruit and paste, the tanginess of sourdough comes through. The texture is denser, breadlike, and not as buttery as a regular croissant. 4/5 Chocolate coffee croissant was good but nothing crazy it's filled with lots of chocolate, though I couldn't detect much coffee flavor (maybe hidden by all the chocolate). 4/5 Berry Refresher, a blueberry mint hibiscus tea. Leaned on the sweeter side, subtle tea flavor, sadly no taste of mint. 3/5 You can work remotely here as WiFi, indoor and outdoor seating are available. But just know it's quite toasty indoors. Service was friendly and welcoming! read more
Walked in 10/10 right away - no line, and still had a lot of there pastries and breads left. I got a jalapeño cheddar cheese sour dough bagel and a morning sun coffee. The bagel was perfect, literally ate half then 5 hours later ate the other half and it was perfect. The coffee:( the only place in cali where I was disappointed. Maybe I should have got something different. But it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereals milk. Lots of seating and quiet and calm area. read more
A small little breakfast/bakery spot in the busy streets of Laguna. They have indoor and outdoor seating and are a very dog friendly business! The staff are friendly and helpful. However, they do not heat up their pastries because they are baked fresh in the morning. I still would have appreciated my food warmed up if I am dining in. Indoor seating is pretty small, more tailored towards parties of 1 and 2. - sundried tomato bagel sandwich: 6.5/10. The bagel is filled and pretty tasty because of the sundried tomato aioli, but it costed $17!!! which is pretty crazy to me for a very basic and simple bagel. - whipped butter biscuit: 9.2/10. THIS. This was so delicious. I usually don't like biscuits but this was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. It was moist inside unlike most biscuits. The whipped butter and seasonal jam filling complemented each other and the biscuit so perfectly. I would come back just for this! - chocolate coffee croissant: 6/10. I was most excited about this, but this was a let down :(. The textures and flavors were lacking. Barely any chocolate or coffee flavor and the croissant was not crispy, more on the chewy side. I would come back because the biscuit was so good and try other pastries/baked goods, but they definitely have some hits and misses. read more

Such a cozy shop! We came in during the rainy week and it was such a beautiful spot to take cover in! We got a chocolate croissant and latte, both absolutely delicious! There is a good selection of baked goods to choose from as well as lunch options. Cashier gave great recommendations and the line to order was very quick! read more
Maybe I just didn't get the right things? Really didn't love this spot... Iced matcha latte with a squirt of vanilla (the extra flavor was a silent $1 upcharge, no forewarning) was the color of light sage green...probably the worst (AND most expensive!) matcha drink I've ever had. Coffee cake was also super crumbly and not memorable. Only redeeming factors are the Rye scrambled eggs main dish (I think the eggs or bread were dipped with duck fat? So delish!) and the friendly service. I can see how the indoor space could be really warm on a hot day. Taking this off my bookmarks list. Highly unlikely to return! Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

PHENOMENAL breakfast and the best experience! Everyone working at Rye Goods was so kind, I got recommended one of the muffins and was so impressed by how good it was. I ordered a simple breakfast with a side of scrambled eggs and a side of toast, and the portion size was huge! I worked outside in the courtyard and the girls were kind enough to bring my food outside once it was ready. There was some construction going on but it was still super peaceful outside. Overall I had the best experience at this location and am already planning on coming back! read more

We stopped by Rye Goods in Laguna Beach last weekend and tried the cappuccino. The price was actually pretty good - only around $5. The coffee was kind of average and a little bitter, so it wasn't really our favorite. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt relaxed and youthful. They also sell fresh bread and pastries, but we only came for coffee this time. read more

Best croissant I have ever had!!!! We loved the rye platter! The music was great as well and I felt like I was in Italy at a great cafe! The service was quick and very friendly! read more
Cute bakery/coffee shop in Laguna. We found metered parking right out front. Set up off the shop is a bit odd because you have to walk past everyone in line to get to the back of the line but there's also people passing by to pick up their orders. Service was fast and friendly. Tried the blueberry almond snail pastry. Overall I thought the flavor combo was unique and I liked the almond flavor with the fresh whole blueberries. I wish the pastry itself was more crispy and flakey. read more
Cute little cafe nestled behind the flower shop on Forest Ave. Love coming here for their breads & pastries. They have a seasonal breakfast / brunch menu. Limited inside seating but the shared patio has a few more bigger tables. Rye's seasonal garden foccacia (ask to warm it up) & their biscuit stuffed with butter & jelly... mmmm. So. So. Good. The sourdough loaf (jalapeño cheddar) is also good. Not a coffee person, but my family loves their lattes here. Great service & a local favorite. read more

I was really looking forward to visiting Rye Goods in Laguna Beach with my mom for a nice coffee and pastry morning, but the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. There was an unpleasant smell inside, and we noticed small flies sitting on some of the pastries in the display case, which was not a great first impression. Still, we decided to give it a chance. We ordered an almond croissant and a coffee chocolate swirl croissant. The moment I touched them, I could tell they were stale. One bite confirmed it: dry, flavorless, and far from fresh. When we quietly and politely mentioned it to the staff, the girl seemed annoyed but offered a refund which I appreciated, saying they bake enough pastries for two days. A few minutes later, a tall man came over and repeatedly insisted that the pastries are baked fresh each morning and that they use a special wheat that makes them denser. I completely understand that and I have had pastries from bakeries all over the world, but there is a clear difference between something that is dense and something that is simply stale. After calmly explaining this several times, he continued insisting they were fresh, which came across as dismissive and defensive. I really did not appreciate the attitude or the unwillingness to acknowledge our experience. I would never have written this review if it were just about the pastries, because that can happen, but the rudeness and lack of care from the staff made the visit truly disappointing. read more
