The food here is really good. The ingredients taste fresh and the food tastes almost homemade in the best way. I feel good after I eat here, fresh clean ingredients make for fresh and clean energy. The service is good, no complaints there. The only thing keeping me from giving this place 5/5 is the pricing. Both times I've come here it's been 20$+ for one item including tip. I understand it's Laguna, and healthier spots tend to be more expensive, but I can't justify 20$ for an average sized breakfast burrito. I will most likely come back just because the food tastes and makes me feel good, but I can't be a regular. And I can't recommend it to family or friends because it's inaccessible. In short; amazing food, very high price, worth it if you have the money to spare. read more

Cute space. The pastry I ordered was extremely hard and dry. I only managed two bites before tossing it. The coffee was decent and the baristas didn't seem to know how to make an iced cortado. Overall I was not that impressed. read more

Wonderful spot with delicious pastries and coffee. The service was friendly and helpful answering all our questions about their selection. The decor is bright and airy and quite charming! read more

I really do like rye goods. But the last 2 times I have been there, I have seen flies on the pastries on display, which really is unsanitary. I have decided I don't think I can return because who knows what their kitchen looks like! I'll attach a photo of cookies they had and there was a couple flies on them. read more

We tried the Saffron Latte today, and loved it! There's no espresso in this drink, and the saffron flavor was super authentic. The coconut sugar added a touch of sweetness, and it was perfect steamed with oat milk. Looking forward to trying different drinks next time! read more

Their pastries all looked incredible. Cute small little spot. We got their cinnamon bun and it was delicious. Only downside was no gf pastries the day we came. They have a good food menu as well that I'd like to try next! read more

I wish I had read the reviews on the almond croissant before coming. It is not a typical almond croissant, it's very hard on the outside but I think it has a yummy inside with crushed nuts and citrus peel that reminds me of baklava a bit. It grew on me, but my other half didn't like it at all. I wish it were less dry, more buttery. The barista recommended the morning bun as the most popular item and it was ok, but not epic by any means. Coffee was pretty good. I loved the atmosphere and the location. Maybe it was an off day for them or us. I hope this business succeeds and I'm sure they have other things that are wonderful. read more

Just stood in line for 25 minutes for a matcha. Being busy is understandable however, the workers did not provide the level of service they should have given how packed it was. They were mixing up orders and people were waiting forever to get their stuff, I overheard many customers complaining about the wait. The matcha tastes like milk and it's barely even green so I asked for an extra shot and the girl working gave me the most absurd excuse, saying that honey dilutes ceremonial grade matcha and said "there is no specific matcha flavor." Honey cannot dilute matcha and make it taste like milk. read more

I've become obsessed with their morning latte and have to stop by once a week to satisfy my craving. Every baked good I try here is amazing. There's always something new to try as well.0 All the employees are friendly and helpful. They made me feel like a regular the first time I walked in. read more

I always try and like it here but it's really horrible. I ordered breakfast and I waited 20+ minutes for it to come and finally asked someone and he comes back out and was like oops I never rang it in for you! YOU should have looked when you paid. He was rude to ME about it. (I believe his name was Riley) I told one of the other girls that he had forgotten it and he came back out and YELLED at me in front of my daughter and other customers. The people at the table next to us had to be like wow that was so out of line. Honestly I'm shocked. It's such a disappointment every time and the staff is just so so bad. The attitude and entitlement is incredible. read more

In two days went to Laguna and Newport. Laguna is the better spot and seating but food and drinks awesome in both. Loved kale and squash salad, vegan choc cookie, matcha, English breakfast style tea, sourdough toast w their yummy butter and the chocolate coffee croissant If I had more days I'd keep going back. Nice stafff. Laguna great for WiFi and also getting some work done. read more

holy shit this is the best breakfast burrito i've ever had in my life. I would drive hours for the breakfast burrito. Flash brew was also fire read more

Stopped in here Sunday for the first time. Had seen it before and was curious. Food was decent. The drinks were okay. The disturbing part was when customers brought their large dog in for a treat. The dog jumped up and put his paws on the counter where there was food. Cashier came around to feed the dog and a worker at the counter also came to pet the dog. Neither washed their hands afterwards. The worker went directly to the window to get a food delivery. Very unsanitary. read more

Laguna Beach is awesome and little gems like this shop are what adds to it's charm. I stumbled upon this place by accident and just happened to need some bread for some clam chowder I was having that night. I thought I would give this place a try - the breads on display had beautiful crusts. The person behind the cash register was super helpful and helped me decide on a loaf based on what I was looking for. I got the country loaf - something without additional ingredients and I think the most popular. The bread that night was excellent - the crust was beautiful, perfect caramelization, with a deep mahogany hue. The crunchiness was perfect. The interior crumb was also great, airy, with a delightful chew and texture. Tender and moist. And the flavor - what a great tasting bread. In any case, I really enjoyed the bread here, lightly toasted with olive oil it made a perfect pairing with my clam chowder. read more

This place was to die for! All organic bakery with organic coffee. You can tell they use such quality ingredients. Staff were so kind & responsive. If I lived here I would come here everyday :) Please try the baked goods, phenomenal! read more

First time coming here wait was a little long but the food was good. Only problem was when the lady took our order she got it wrong asked for a vanilla latte with almond milk and she just gave me a latte with almond milk. I went back up and asked her to remake the whole drink because the shots tasted burnt and it had no vanilla! She just gave me back the same drink just added vanilla was super annoyed ! Just remake the drink. Anyways didn't bother to go up again to ask for a remake read more

We ordered the pumpkin muffins and sesame bagel to go! The muffin had a perfect balance of sweet and salty, with delicious chocolate inside. The customer service was excellent--they patiently and politely answered all our questions. The interior is adorable and spotless, with a cozy, homey vibe that makes you want to stay longer. I can't wait to come back and try the Parker House rolls! read more

Rye Goods does not disappoint, the perfect grab and go cafe to visit on your way to the beach. A short stroll from the Laguna Beach coastline, this eatery is tucked away in a small shopping center that feels as though it's in a forest glen. You are greeted upon entry, and they go the extra mile to deliver exceptional customer service. The farm fresh peaches coated in lemon juice and basil were refreshing to snack on while sipping their dark roast coffee seaside. For your maritime dream on-the-go dining experience, look to this castle not far from the sand, a few blocks away from Mermaid St. read more

I live locally in town and I thought I'd stop by here and order a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Figured it would be quick. I was on my lunch hour. It took a half an hour to get my sandwich. They told me it took so long because they bake it. I finally received my sandwich and I left. When I got home, I opened the box and the bread was burnt! Burnt to the point of black and it was un edible. I did call the store and explained what happened and that I cannot come back right now because I was on my lunch hour. The gal that I spoke to was very apologetic and nice, she said that they would refund my money. I am waiting for that refund and I appreciate her concern. A $15 sandwich that takes a half an hour to make, and then to be burnt is totally unacceptable I had to throw it away read more

I purchased a wide array of items and all were delicious. Our favorite by far was the danish style rye sourdough loaf. The prices are on the higher side but the quality is worth it. read more

Had an absolutely AMAZING breakfast here. My boyfriend and I shared the eggs Provence and the bagel Sammy. The eggs Provence was so well balanced, creamy, tangy, salty, sweet, spicy. Decent portion, but definitely needed one more slice of baguette to dip. The sandwich was also great, I've never had a breakfast sandwich with a "crispy smashed potato" like that. The herb cream cheese was incredible! We both got honey cinnamon cappuccinos (Straus dairy, which we appreciated). Didn't get any sweets/pastries but all of them looked incredible. Next time I will be trying the warm oatmeal! read more

I have been coming to Rye Goods in Laguna Beach since it open. The food is good however the last 3 times that Ive gone, one of their servers, a tall thin male has waited on me the last 3 times. He is so unprofessional towards me. Today, 8/22 at noon when I saw home I greeted him and said," nice to see you" He frowns at me and didn't greet me back. He is rude, when I asked him about the wifi, without looking at me, he says, "its over there" The last visit he was rude, unpleasant and I just thought maybe he had a rough day & not to personalize his behavior towards me, but today he did it again. Just blatantly not kind, looking away from me when I was at the register ready to order the delicious Avo Toast.. I felt embarrassed, so I literally step out of the line. The customer next to me went to order and he was upbeat, kind, engaging and this made me feel some type of way. I believe this young-man has a bias! Where is the owner? The Manager.. I was so disheartened, I left and went across the street at Zinc.The staff at Zinc are basically consistent, they smile, they are engaging and a few remember my face! After these past 3 unpleasant experiences with RYE Goods, I will no longer shop there The food is GREAT, my personal experience and service has been subpar! Full Disclosure:: Customers of any culture or race other than Caucasian please be aware!! read more

Food - I understand their approach to the ingredients and how their products are made. But it works for some products but not for others. It's just too hit or miss. For example their almond croissant was way too heavy/dense and hard. I will continue trying more menu items to see if my opinion changes. Coffee - not good at all. That's all I have to say on that. Ambiance - this also brings my rating for them wayyy down. It's just too way too dark in there. It makes it more difficult to see the food display, and it just doesn't make you want to sit and eat/enjoy your food inside. The only saving grace is the lovely lumberyard patio tables outside. Please address the lighting! Service - friendly and courteous and professional staff. I was really eager for them to open in Laguna and I'll still try more menu items but -- my experience so far has been disappointing. I was really hoping for a little more. A little better. read more

I love Rye Goods The house made sandwich is delicious, full of veggies and filling. Sometimes I'll have a croissant or try one of their specials. Their bread is really delicious too but remember to use it within a few days because it will get hard if you don't. read more

Unmatched quality bake goods and coffees and their take home pizza dough is wonderful as well. Make sure to try the blueberry donut if you're looking to have the best donut experience of your life - Also shout out to Alan and the rest of the staff for always taking care of me. Thanks again / support small business putting out a great product and experience read more

Fantastic food and super nice people. I go here every time I'm in that shopping center in Laguna Beach.

Found this little gem when we were exploring. We had a caramelized iced coffee with orange zest. Probably won't get that again but it was still good. We also tried some sweets... the cinnamon roll, carrot cake, and the coffee cake. Coffee cake was the best sweet we got. Service was fantastic as well... it's a cute little hidden gem read more

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE bakery. Visited for the first time this weekend - so good I went back the next day!

Visited the Laguna location. The stars are for the ambiance and service. I was surprised to see all the lunch offerings available and the cooler with fresh eggs and homemade accompaniments. This made me excited about trying their baked goods. The service was very friendly and helpful. That is where my good experience ended. My family ordered 4 different bakery items to enjoy with a cup of coffee at home. We ordered a pop tart (like a hand pie), banana bread, almond croissants and a chocolate cookie. We also ordered coffee beans, which they ground for us. The coffee was pretty good. A medium roast, with good smooth flavor. The baked goods? The whole reason for our stop? The one thing a bakery should do well? They all ended up in the garbage! I felt terrible throwing them in the bin, as they were all very pretty. Clearly someone had worked hard on them. But they were all really terrible tasting. The almond croissant was heavy, had cut up almonds, but no almond taste. The only flavors we picked up were a strong citrus and an herb- maybe sage?? Not like any almond croissant I've ever had, or want to have again. The croissant part was even strangely dense and heavy. The banana bread- something I would consider hard to mess up- was also terrible. It was dry and the taste profile was of old oil. No banana flavor, not mildly sweet even, just oil. The cookie was ok- but texture was dry and the pop tart filling was good- not great- but the crust also tasted of oil- not butter, and who wants to taste oil? I'm not sure if all the locations are this way- I'm not sure how they are still in business if they are- but in my opinion- these bakers need some more education perhaps. Not to mention it is very pricey! I am fine paying a premium for organic baked goods- I prefer organic- so I didn't balk at the prices. But when you pay that amount for goods that were this bad, it is very disappointing. They have a $94 carrot cake and I am curious if it even tastes like carrot cake. read more

The food, service, and ambiance is immaculate! So happy to have a local organic bakery in the heart of Downtown Laguna Beach. The service from their team members is amazing. Rye Goods is great for locals and a must visit if you're a traveler looking for things to do in Laguna Beach! read more

Good coffee drinks, good desert selection, friendly service, and a nice patio. They have fresh baked bread, which is too uncommon in the OC/LA area. Plus, for the locals, Whole Foods generally does not have good bread and so can use some healthy competition. read more

Went in this past Monday and ordered their $15 egg bagel sandwich. The massive potato in the center was cold and it kinda ruined the whole sandwich. I didn't take it back because the staff didn't seem that warm or friendly. Will definitely be going elsewhere for breakfast. read more
