Rye goods is definitely a bakery, I have always loved their pastries! My favorite was the lemon Kringle which I'm not sure if they still have. Today I got the almond lemon poppy loaf and I loved it. A great snack The strawberry matcha was alright-- like I'll drink it esp for $10. But the strawberry taste was less sweet and more like unripe strawberries. Service is wonderful, the girl at the register was super kind and helpful, and any other time I've come it seems to be the same experience. The ambiance isn't as aesthetic if that's what you're looking for, however if you're looking for a nice place to work, it's got a really interesting set up-- tables, couches, outlets, also have a nice patios for nicer days. Only issue is parking. The space is in a rented out office so parking can be a little rough, but if you're not in a rush, I'm sure some patience will do you well (; read more

Probably one of the worst coffee shops I've tried. Given it two chances now, and disappointed both times. I got this Caesar wrap (expecting chicken inside due to the price) and an iced mocha latte. The latte tasted like nothing, watered down and nothing enjoyable, went straight to the trash. The Caesar wrap had massive and I mean MASSIVE chunks of sourdough bread that was toasted and I cut up my mouth a few times. In addition to that, some iceberg lettuce and globs of ranch, that's all. My total came out to $24 if you can believe that. Total waste of money. The first time I came here, I asked for my pastry to be toasted and they stated they don't toast there. read more

Rye Goods - Caesar wrap - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

Located in Tustin next to the Parlor, order inside at a small counter then seating is provided with both tables and chairs or couches in a large warehouse type setting with indoor and outdoor spaces - have seen people bring work/journals to hang out for that kind of vibe. There is a cold case with deli like options such as soups and pre-made salads. There is also a wide variety of baked goods made without refined sugar and a 200 year old starter - lots of freshly baked bread you can take home with you. We got a breakfast bagel sandwhich which was divine - truly the bread is exquisite and the food, although pricey, is quality. read more

So I have been going to Rye Goods since they were a truck in Old Town Tustin and I am BEYOND happy they are back in my neighborhood! I have been by at last 3-4 times already and so far have had nothing but GREAT experiences. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful, and everything I've tried has been exemplary. Yes their prices are a smidge high but I personally like not having to tip and not having the screen turned around for me to add tip when pay. I prefer knowing it's already included and if you take this into account along with the fact that they use premium ingredients their prices are more than fair. I also love that they have take and bake items from empanadas to tortillas to all kinds of items (they vary). I have been impressed with the variety. They also have a great area next door to sit and work inside or outdoors. I brought my laptop one day and just worked happily away. :) read more

Parking was terrible, seems like it was mostly employee parking for the building. We had to park across the street. I got the morning sugar latte which was terrible. Also ordered the lemon poppy seed loaf- very dry. Lastly, I ordered a sesame bagel with cream cheese which was also disgusting, additionally I was covered in sesame seeds which was annoying. read more

This is my favorite place to eat delicious organic meals and enjoy a strong smooth cappuccino. I love the grab and go items as well and the people that work there are personal and sweet. Thank you Rye Goods! 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

Situated in the back of an industrial building. Definitely an odd location, but it's likely where they do a lot of their prep work for their other stores. Order at the register and they call your name when ready. Friendly staff, but took awhile for our seemingly normal order to be made and it wasn't busy at all on a Sun morning. There is communal seating in a huge indoor warehouse type area and also some outdoor seating. Big chairs and couches everywhere. Some dining sets, too. We got their breakfast sandwich, quiche, and two lattes for low $40s. They add a 12% service fee to your order in lieu of tip. Didn't seem like we had an option to avoid it. Regardless, everything was great! Sandwich comes on your choice of bagel and is messy due to runny egg, so heads up. Quiche comes with little salad (lettuce and vinaigrette-like dressing only). I didn't see any meat options, so we were unintentionally vegetarians this morning! 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

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

Service was slow but the food and drink were worth it the wait. Good mocha cafe and excellent grilled cheese!

Not a good lunch break spot if your tryna get back in time. I love the food, staff and lattes here, but the front is severely understaffed. Waited in a 3 person long line for 15 minutes cause the only 2 workers there were over-occupied with making latte orders. Had to end up walking out with no lunch cause I needed to get back to work. read more

On Sunday there is only one person working at the checkout, a terrible queue and a waste of time, it is a pity that you do not value your customers' time read more

After a friend recommended Rye Goods a year ago, I've been coming here for pastries and sour dough loaf. Very glad they decided to open one in Tustin which is only 6 minutes away from me! It's hidden in the offices area on Redhill and the entrance in the back of the parking lot. I came on a Saturday morning during the soft opening where the line was way too long, so I decided to come back another day...Which I came on a Wednesday morning a week later and there was no line at all! First of all, LOVE the interior design and the seating area at this location. Second, I'm not sure if they raised the price at both locations but they are now much pricier. To be honest, I was surprised by how much their current pastry cost. I bought 3 items (a slice of almond marzipan cake, a morning bun, and a specialty croissant) and each of them was almost $8, the total was around $25. I believe they used to be around $3-5?? Almond Marzipan - Very yummy, not overly sweet nor dry. The cake itself was moist and just enough almond flavor so it was not overpowering. Morning Bun - Very flaky and has a fruity taste within the swirls which I'm guessing it's cinnamon apple jam but I think I preferred it without the apple part...It was a bit too rich after I finished the whole bun. Specialty Croissant - Thought it was like a cinnamon twist croissant but no cinnamon at all. I think it was sprinkled with brown sugar and was very simple but flavorful. I've always loved their croissants, flaky and not overly greasy nor too sweet. Just the right balance of the texture and flavors. Overall, their pastry deserves 5 stars but I'm just still adjusting to this new pricing. 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 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,...

A wonderful organic sourdough bakery in the Tustin area. Artisanal bread and pastries are what we really needed in Tustin, especially new Legacy area. I am glad to be living within walking distance to the bakery shop. Love their rotating seasonal treats: recent chocolate tarts were top-notch! They serve and sell organic Canyon coffee; and almond milk latte is my all-time favourite. If I am super hungry for nutritious and filling breakfast or brunch, bagel egg sandwich and seasonal quiche are my winners. Baristas Mags and Jade always make it a pleasurable experience to dine in. The business complex where the bakery is located has a spacious seating area where it is nice to relax and sip coffee with RyeGoods pastry. 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.

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

[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

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
