An updated review as of 2026…read more Haven't been since their store was just a tiny one and that was years ago, I'm excited that they have expand their bakery with more seating and love the huge display of bake goods (I didn't get to take a picture of it on this visit but I'll update soon). They are always busy and I don't blame them. Now that I work up the street, I'm making it my mission to treat my staff at work with some of these heavenly goods. Services were quickly, lots of staff and I'm just amaze how fast they work. Food. OMG! It was crispy and fluffy, the layers and THE CUSTARD....I could eat a whole jar of it if I could. Made my staff pretty happy on the sweet treat, and to some a better day. The pastries I got was a mixed berry bateau (2) and (1) Limoncello Tiramisu (DEVINE). Can't wait to come and for more. 10/10

Haven't found the perfect Kouign Amann since a private French baker had a pop-up sale in San Mateo…read more4 years ago. Despite trying so many since then, between here and even Paris, they've just been total flops. It's crazy how many variations there are, from doughy to bready to basically just a croissant. Have to say Chaupain's, which I found at the Cardiff 101 farmer's market, was AMAZING. I wish I had bought more than one; I had just been disappointed so many times, and Paris was the last straw for me lmao! Service in the tent was super friendly and he was surprised I knew was a Kouign Amann was. If you're a butter/sugar/pastry fan, you'll love their Kouign Amann (Queen amann)

When I ate the buttercream, it was amazingly delicious...sooo creamyyy and really fresssh with the right amount of swwweetness. I can tell it's homemade. Overall, my experience has been wonderful.

What really blew me away, though, was the service. The woman helping us was fantastic.

That kind of genuine hospitality really stands out. If you're in the area, you absolutely have to stop by.

So what I have is called Egg White Scram and it is delicious!! I have been getting it with the Cajun potatoes, which are also delicious! So far, I have only been to this restaurant for breakfast, but I'm very interested to go for happy hour. It seems this restaurant has a little bit of everything has indoor and outdoor seating some bar seating TVs for you to watch the game at the bar, a bakery, a full bar and of course yummy food! I personally have never had to wait for a table but again I've only been for breakfast so I'm not sure how happy hour or dinner is, but getting a seat has been easy so far. Service is quick. I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my breakfast to come out, and when you're starving, that's a beautiful thing!

Sigh. When you have a craving for cookies and esp want an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and the box…read morearrives from DoorDash and they didn't include the cookie you ordered... The chocolate chip classic is good but average. The sugar cookie had a dollop of icing but not even a circle. The photo on the website shows the icing should be a circle and spread out evenly over the cookie. This was definitely not the right amount of icing, it was not even 1/3 icing and pretty sure it should have been way more. It looked like my toddler put on the icing but in a stingy way. I wanted the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie but I didn't get it. How a cookie store can screw up an order that is electronic and literally has a ticket that reads oatmeal is a shame. Very very disappointing. The other two cookies I did receive were not worth mentioning they were not good.

Yes, it's all about the cake. This homemade cake shop is highly regarded locally…read more All the desserts are made with fresh ingredients, and have an excellent appearance. While the prices are slightly higher than in other places, this shop offers special orders and various cakes. We came here after a fest at Jimmy's famous American tavern restaurant. So we decided to just buy one raspberry cupcake. I had it for breakfast in the morning. It was super delicious. It was a very satisfying chocolate cupcake with a raspberry cream on top covered in fine chocolate. I regretted that we discovered it the night just before we departed. Also, our hotel was just crossing the street from this shop. We stayed at the hotel for four days and three nights. All in all, the pastries and the service quality were truly exceptional. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

We tried this place for a custom cake about 6 years ago. While the look was amazing, I didn't think…read morethe flavor was great. This time for my birthday, I thought we'd try a standard flavor cake since they should be making it on the regular. We got the lemon delight. It was super sweet. I couldn't eat any of the frosting and the frosting filling next to the lemon was very sweet. They also messed up my name. I remember my husband spelling out my name like the military nato style too but what was written on the order form was wrong. And then on the cake was wrong and didn't even match the order form. I know my name is difficult but I guess the decorator wasn't there so it was a difficult fix. They apologized and gave us candles. On a side note and not affecting this rating: We ate at the cafe side once and it was good. But we sat outside and had a bad experience unrelated to the cafe. Someone with their huge hairy dog was just outside the cafe and rubbing their long hair dog getting it into the air and the wind was blowing it all over our food and drinks and also in the nearby tables. Definitely killed the appetite. This is not affecting the rating. Rating is based solely on the cakes.

Rose Cafe & Donuts has probably got the best breakfast sandwiches in San Clemente, although, I have to admit, this was really the first time I had ever "checked out" San Clemente longer than a pit stop for gas. As my mom and I were "passing through" taking this l-o-n-g-e-r rest stop from driving on the 5 (we were on our way to San Diego), we decided to get something more substantial to eat. Anyway, you have to go here. Rose Cafe's food seemed quite popular, considering there was a constant stream of customers ordering, and everyone noticeably ordered something different. I really liked the outdoor tables and chairs, located right outside the eatery. It definitely allowed us to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, even though you can't see the water. All in all, Rose Cafe rocks. We were glad to have found this cute place, tucked into a shopping center, no less. Overall, the food was awesome, and the location was super-convenient.

I was a little disappointed I couldn't get a hot latte (since it was a chilly day), but I got an iced chai latte and it was really good, pretty sweet but a nice treat. I also got a BLT on toasted sourdough. My only feedback was the bread was way too buttery...I'd prefer it on the dryer side. The fries are delicious, but I was missing the extra seasoning!
