I honestly thought this place was okay. I feel like any other "expensive" coffee shop, you're going to pay more for coffee and a pastry. I did however love their butter croissant- super rich and delicious! I enjoyed the spacious dining area, which made it perfect for a team meeting we were having. read more

Was not impressed with this place I ordered the almond croissant. It was overcooked very hard . also got the everything bagel. It wasn't that great either. Probably won't go back. read more

Food was OK. My coffee was burnt and when I came to the register to change my drink I haven't even touched, the lady with a bad hair day with brown short bangs acted like I just asked her for free food or somthing... I am asking you to fix your mistake.. and then I asked for light ice and still filled it up to the top god forbid you have to just do you job will not be coming back read more

VERY very expensive (for a teeny bagel!) but good flavors and everything's artisanal so that gives. Curious to try their desserts, like that seductive purple donut. read more

This is the best bread I've ever had. Everything tastes amazing, and the coffee and food are delicious and organic. The baristas are super friendly, and you can actually see them preparing the bread, which is really cool. The place feels clean, welcoming, and has a great vibe. I love recommending this spot because it's a place you can truly trust. read more

Workers are super nice. The garage-style seating area is great for studying and is super unique. I always get my sourdough from here.

This spot has a number of unique pastry options that sound and look great. I really wanted to like Rye Goods because my daughter and niece are big fans. They are pricey, which I don't mind paying for quality. But I cannot get over the fact that they will not take 30 extra seconds to warm up pastries for their guests! I picked up a caramelized onion and goat cheese pastry, and was heading to run errands one cold morning. I was nowhere near home, with an option to go back and heat up my item, so I had to eat a cold and hard pastry while on the go! That's not ideal and terribly disappointing. read more

Pretty expensive for really subpar food and over burnt coffee. My sandwich was cold when it came out,...

I really don't see the hype I I came here for the second time trying to give it a second chance and instantly regretted it, drink sizes extremely small l, tables are dirty no one cleans them ambiance super bland. Matcha doesn't taste like matcha honestly extremely disappointing. read more

Baked goods are better at Newport lido location. They have an inefficient system so ordering takes awhile. They were very low on baked goods by 11am on Mother's Day. Baked goods are not fresh and when I asked one of the workers she said the bakers came in yesterday. So beware that some of their baked goods are a day old. . I would suggest you ask if the items are freshly baked before purchase if that's a concern. read more

my favorite bakery in all of oc! all of rye goods' breads and pastries are slightly sourdoughy and chewy which i personally love. their iced vanilla latte is also one of the best ones i've had‍ and they use minor figures oat milk! the big seating area also makes it a lovely place to catch up with friends or get some work done read more

Ambiance is good, but everything else was a miss. Staff weren't friendly/aren't welcoming at all, food was way overpriced given the ingredients and flavor profile (or more specifically lack therof). Overall, avoid this place if you're looking for decent food. read more

The best sourdough sesame bagels I've had on the West coast! The environment is relaxing and the service is super friendly. This is a great place to meet a friend for coffee and hang out for a bit. read more

Great space...we shared a breakfast burrito and brought home several pastries. Food was very fresh and delicious. The blueberry scone was my favorite. They are more dense, but very flavorful. À unique twist I wasn't expecting but liked. My only issue is seating is a bit challenging for seniors or the disabled. Higher chairs with arms would be helpful. Will def be back for a lunch item...or pizza. read more

Ugh - this place has such strong pros AND cons. Pros: Great open area for relaxed weekend lounging Usually nice employees Definite cool vibe Cons: Hugely inconsistent. The bagel breakfast sammie is decadent; the quiche has a good crust. But pastries are often dry and heavy and not nearly as flavorful as they look. A $9 CUP of leek soup (literally one of the cheapest things you can make) was bland and vaguely bitter. Drinks usually come out way later than food. They won't heat up pastries from the case. Cold hard cheese is bad. No sweetener out for coffee, and they seem a little put out when you ask for some. One register, lines move sloooowly. Not many vegan options, vegan friend asked if he could pay extra for a shake of dukkah on a bagel and cream cheese (probably worth 10 cents). The answer was just no. No explanation. And yes, it's pricey. That alone wouldn't lower my review. But at these prices, the food should be fresher and more consistent. read more

We stopped by for coffee and pastries a couple of days ago. I had previously picked up some bread on my way over to a breakfast invitation and liked it a lot. This time was no different. The coffee was top notch and pastries were wonderful. More importantly I was very impressed by the two ladies who took care of us. They were kind and very helpful, and when there was a mixup with our order they offered to remedy it very generously and made the whole experience a pleasure. Will definitely go back and recommend to anyone who's looking for great coffee, artisan bread and a wonderful atmosphere to work or hang out at. read more

i never write yelp reviews but i loved it here so much that i had to write one! the matcha was an incredible green, not many cafes i've been to achieve this level of green and was perfectly well balanced and tasted great. comes unsweetened but i sweetened it with gingerbread and it wasn't too sweet which was perfect. i got a box of pastries which were all amazing too. the service was so sweet and kind. definitely returning! read more

Rye Goods - iced matcha and assorted pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

I love pastries and I'm glad this one is open so then I don't have to go to Newport. I like the different pastures they have here like: banana bread, cookies, and etc. Every time I come here the people are kind and if I'm curious about a pastry they tell me about it. The ambience since pretty chill. I love coming here for cookies. I l follow their instagram and receive their emails so I can see what they have this month or week. read more

[More of a 3.5] Came here on a Saturday morning and it seems like they're either in a soft open or no one knows it exists yet?? Parking was plentiful and you need to enter by the walkway that says Entrance up top. There's a bit of construction going on for a portion of the shop and their next door neighbor but it's pretty clear where to go once you get into the foyer. My favorite part about this place was the beautiful, spacious, aesthetic seating area. Awesome place to have people meet up. There was an outdoor space too that looked great and had a fire pit (but was way too cold for a brisk (for OC lol) Saturday AM). I'm unsure if I'd go back due to the person who was first to reviews notes. I bought 2 pastries and was shocked at the register when it rang up to $16.80. I think croissants are an art form and totally worth paying the price for as I'd literally never make them myself but at $8 each I don't think I can justify it. (Though inflation has been super hard on business so I get that.) As for the pastries themselves, I always get an almond croissant and a pistachio croissant if I see one at a coffee shop or bakery. Almond croissant was honestly 2/5 for me - it was super crunchy/hard. It wasn't of the caliber of similar pastry shops. My husband got the specially (might've spelled that wrong) croissant which was pistachio, raspberry, and some powdered sugar. This was also quite mid as the pistachio was too subtle to be tasted (I think it was more of a fine crushed pistachio vibe if anything). It was softer than my crunchy almond croissant so I will give it that. It was square in shape and kind of thin so overall nothing memorable for being a specialty item. 3/5 Folks at the register and helping us were super nice. Looks like a decent place for grab and go bread products. I wasn't that impressed but am down to go back to buy a loaf for the week. I'm hoping I had an off experience! read more

Great bread - I've tried country, sesame, five seeds, and porridge - all slightly different, but all sourdough based with great texture. They range from $12-15. The pastries always look tempting, however, I've been a bit disappointed after trying several of them (butter croissant, almond croissant, turnover etc.). The croissants were all made from sourdough, so it's not as flaky as a typical French croissant, but a lot more dense/firm - so not really my style. The bagels, on the other hand, are delicious. There is a egg sandwich version or you can get them just toasted with cream cheese. I don't know if they make them in house, but their chive cream cheese is amazing (especially paired with everything bagel toasted). Pricey, yes, but worth it since we can't find equally good breads elsewhere in Irvine/Newport. read more

The bread and desserts here are fantastic! Service was friendly and very helpful. The quality of their products is outstanding, and I love that they always have something new on the menu. Prices are high, but well worth the splurge! We have tried almost everything I have to offer over span of several visits, and one is better than the next! Highly recommended! read more

If you are looking for a place to chill and enjoy baked goods, this is the place for you. It is a bit pricey for the serving sizes. You can purchase frozen items as well like empanadas and breads. The service was quick and the staff were efficient. I'd probably return for the vibes but I'd probably pass on the food. I got the seasonal veggie soup which was a bit bland and the savory croissant which was quite hard and bitter. The drip coffee was ok. read more

Honestly, the chocolate coffee croissant was mid and the strawberry iced matcha with "strawberry jam" and almond milk tasted HORRIBLE! I tasted no strawberry jam and the overall taste of the matcha tatsed like expired almond milk. Not what I expected. read more

Came here on a Friday. Hours on the door and online say 8-4p. Tell me why the girl waved me off and said she closed at 3p

I ordered a strawberry matcha here, and when I got to the register, I was shocked to find out it was $12--with no price listed anywhere. I figured maybe it was worth it, but unfortunately, it was not. The drink was bland, barely tasted like matcha, and had an artificial strawberry flavor. Definitely not worth the price. If you're going to charge that much for a drink, at least make sure it's good--or be upfront about the cost. Won't be coming back. read more

Best fresh bread in the OC. Always stop by when I'm around and great friendly staff. Only wish would be that they offered some pre-sliced loaves. read more

Loved this place! It has a big selection of fresh baked good and coffee. Plenty of sitting area and service was friendly. The only things is that it is on the pricier side. I spend $30 on two lattes and two pastries. It's definetly worth it but more of a special treat for me. For sure not my everyday to go place. read more

I absolutely love the Rye Goods on Lido, but this location is meh. I don't know what it is but the quality and selection just isn't as good here. The pastries were super salty and a lot of stuff that is listed on the menu they don't have in-house. If you want the full Rye Goods experience visit their location in Newport or Laguna - excellent menu, and the pastries and bread there have always been top-notch. read more

Referred by a friend, arrived right before close thus a lot was picked over. From fresh bagels to rustic loafs, along with soup to go. I would come back, it was a cute place and I liked their bread. read more

I recently attended a UCLA event in the Tustin location. After the event, I bought a baguette because it was supposed to be sourdough. It tasted no different from a regular baguette. And this one cost $8-10. The thing that floored me, however, was the $12 blueberry tart!!! That is highway robbery, and it tasted no better than the $5.99 blueberry tart at my favorite bakery. I was so disappointed and felt cheated. Had I seen the price of the tart beforehand, I wouldn't have bought it. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize it until I got my receipt. Buyer Beware!! read more

I really liked the spacious dining area, the food(Avocado toast and Peach toast) and the service. I accidently spilled the drink and it was a big mess but when I told the cashier he quickly came out to clean up the table and the floor. He was very polite and courteous. I also bought two loaves of very healthy wholesome rye bread, four different kinds of bagels, and two bags of granola cereal. read more

If you're looking for a large space to work while eating artisanal baked goods and delicious coffee, this is it! Since I've moved to OC, I haven't found many spots with good coffee, good food, and a nice work area. Had the bagel breakfast sandwich. Slightly and satisfyingly sour, perfectly crisp outside, chewy inside, amazing savory fillings and spread. Paired with one of the better cappuccinos I've had around here--espresso was pulled well, no bitterness or sourness. The well-foamed milk mixed delightfully with the espresso while drinking, reminding me that life is beautiful despite working on a Saturday morning. The bagel sandwich made it impossible to do any work. Runny egg yolk and spread on the fingers and the urge to immediately take a nap set in hard. It was a gateway into having to get another coffee, so plan on this if you get it and have things to do that day. It's a bit on the pricey side but supporting a local business that uses the most quality local ingredients is always worth it! Plus the folks working were really nice. Will definitely be back! read more

Rye Goods - Bagel breakfast sandwich plus coffee number 1. So good. Needed a second coffee to avoid satisfied food baby nap after. - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

The rosemary latte was great, but I ordered a sandwich and there was not a lot of people who had ordered food and they took almost an hr to bring it out. The food is good and the coffee but the service at this location was not the best. read more

service was fine. nothing outstanding. i've tried this place 4 times and i get something different every time, and i end up throwing it out. the lattes are not very good and their baked goods in the case are dry and don't taste good. i've heard good things but in my experience it was not a hit. bummer. read more

Tustin is off Redhill drive to the back. This is the main bakery and a large open space for sitting and eating in. Great bread, pastries, and coffee. Rye Breakfast is very good eggs, avocado, Yukon potatoes and bread slices. Coffee selection is good! New Costa Mesa opens on Friday June 13. 17th Street / they moved from Newport Beach for more space. read more

The only good thing about this place is the open space for your littles to run around but other than that the drinks are meh, the hot food and sandwiches are bland/forgettable and the pastries are nothing to write home about for the exorbitant price you'll be paying for each item. read more

We were near the (new to us) Rye Goods this morning and decided to stop in for breakfast and give it a try. We almost didn't stop by because of the mediocre three star rating--so glad we didn't let that deter us and we will definitely be back for more. The negative reviews Rye Goods has received are incredibly upsetting. This is why we can't have nice things, people!! If you are going to complain about the OC being a culinary wasteland compared to LA, but then you bitch and moan (and leave bad reviews) about places and people who are trying to bring us interesting, delicious, and high quality eats, then you deserve all the chain, mass-market, low quality/low thought goods we have here. Yes, it is expensive. But it comes down to what you personally value. I'm willing to pay higher prices for the highest quality, freshly baked breads and pastries. New flavors, new textures, yes please! The guy below complaining about their obsession with sourdough? WTF, dude, this is what they do! That's their thing! If you're not into it, cool no problem, but don't go and then complain about the very thing they do. And that dude also claims they're hiding their prices? No, they are not hiding their prices, price list is on display on a large sign directly in front of the register. If you're embarrassed to ask the price of an item before you buy it, that's a YOU problem. The people at the counter were super nice and helpful and did not at all seem to mind answering our numerous questions about each product (including cost). Most of the negative reviews are about cost and expectations, not at all about flavor and quality of the baked goods, so just know what the place is about before you go. Our order: 1. Chocolate sourdough loaf (February special)--so freaking good. The bread has a fabulous chewy texture with the tang of sourdough juxtaposed with the rich, creamy dark chocolateyness. 2. Sesame loaf--so many sesame seeds! Crunchy, chewy, tangy, yummy. Looking forward to toasting a slice of this tomorrow with cream cheese and lox. 3. Sesame bagel with cream cheese--devoured it in the car on the way home. This is not a typical NY style bagel, but I'd say it's maybe even better? Wife said it brought a tear to her eye. 4. Coffee cake--plush cake, perfect crumb, not too sweet, generous portion. 5. Carrot cake--we got the last slice of the day! Another generous portion, sweet and satisfying cream cheese icing, cake itself is tender and flavorful with notes of orange and ginger. The two items we didn't especially like were the oolong chai (wayyyyy to gingery) and the pretzel with house-made mustard (flavor of pretzel was very good, glad we tried it, but probably won't feel the need to get it again). I really hope future customers of Rye Goods are able to appreciate what this place has to offer, which is unique and DELICIOUS baked goods made with the highest quality materials, care, and absolute integrity. In Santa Monica, these kinds of places are the norm rather than the exception; in Orange County, such a place is a gem and I for one am thrilled to welcome them to Tustin. read more

I'm happy to pay for high quality baked goods and being a homebaker myself I understand the amount of work and time it takes to create these pastries. Making pastries is hard, but making sourdough pastries is even harder (but with much more health benefits)! So glad this place exists :) read more
