The services sucks here. The pastries are good. The sandwiches are not made to order. Multiple mistakes. Location is great but the faded silk flowers and service has me saying ‘No Thank you’ for now on. Eat at your own risk. Butter on a Club Sandwich? Gross.

Very nice brûlée latte, it’s always my favorite coffee, and the meals are all yummy ! I tried many brunches and they were all great! It’s a good place for friends’ gathering, family reunion, or after dog-walking! This place is just next to a dog park.

Our eyes opened wide as our eyes feasted on the delectable array of baked goods. We got to meet the owner and experience the friendliness of the staff. An outstanding almond croissant, best we’ve had.

Was in Newport Beach a couple of weeks ago and stumbled on this bakery. My boyfriend and I went in and found amazing pastries and a nice lunch. The owner was up front and her and the staff were so helpful. Had to take some to go on our way out of Newport. Look forward to going back.

My wife had a small brunch at her office, and someone brought croissants from this place. Since we had just gotten back from Paris, she knew I was still on the hunt for a good croissant and coffee. She brought one home for me—and wow, the first bite instantly transported me back to Paris.
So, on my next day off, we headed down for breakfast. Naturally, I had to have another croissant, but I also couldn’t resist trying their Le Parisien sandwich—which reminded me so much of a favorite spot in Paris. We indulged in a few pastries, and of course, I brought home some fresh bread.
This little gem in Corona del Mar was such a pleasant surprise. We’ve since shared it with several friends who’ve also been to Paris, and they all agree: for a brief moment, it truly feels like you’re back at a Parisian bistro—complete with French music.
Just a heads-up: this place can get busy. Once they run out of fresh baked goods, that’s it for the day. Seating is limited both inside and on the patio, and it’s all first-come, first-served. Parking is street-only, so plan accordingly.

We frequent Rendez Vous often for breakfast because this charming place is consistently great on every level. It’s a small, always a busy spot, but the staff are warm, welcoming, and always ready to help.
Their display of breads, pastries, cakes, cookies basically whatever your heart desires is both beautiful and delicious. The coffee and breakfast never miss.
If you’re in the area, definitely check out this adorable French café promise they won’t disappoint!

I had this croissant around noon on March 16 2025 at Rendez Vous and it was somewhere between a 3.5 and 4, pretty close to a 4, plus or minus, which is solid for a croissant in the US. 5 would be the best croissant in Paris, a high bar. It certainly looks the part, doesn’t it? Looks clue us in, but aren’t everything. It did have a decent sound, but it’s hard to make a croissant retain the soft/moist/chewy/elastic inside and a crunchy/crackly/buttery/flaky outside hours after baking. Still, if you’re in the area, pop in earlier, and tell me how it is. You can tell them I sent you, but they won’t know who I am.

Our family has been coming here for years- Best coffee, cappuccinos, mochas etc! Authentic French pastries, croissants and excellent egg dishes made with real ingredients beautifully executed- of course, don’t forget the crêpes! Love the option to sit in and listen to French music or take away. And this is a great place to pickup dessert treats for a dinner or brunch party or a classic baguette! A+++

I’ve seen this little cafe on instagram reels so I took my mom for Mother’s Day today. Super cute and cozy. Just a few small tables inside and a few outside on the patio. They had a steady take out business going today. Lots of yummy, beautiful pastries.
I ordered the bacon, ham & cheese omelette, mom had the breakfast taco. Milky Way coffee was delicious too.

This is a wonderful place to dine both indoors and outdoors. They offer a wide variety of pastries and desserts. I especially enjoy their pancakes, as they come in very generous portions and are served with a side salad. If you’re in the mood for cake, I highly recommend the Napoleon. The cream is incredibly delicate, and the puff pastry layers are simply delicious!
