Chaupain Bakery - Laguna Hills, California

Chaupain never fails! This bakery is so loved by me that I am always eager to introduce friends and family to it. The croissants are hands down the best I’ve had - better than what I’ve had in Paris. The quality of the food is always 10/10 but what really motivated my review today was the impeccable service we received by this gentleman who had curly hair and hazel eyes (shout out to him)! He made today’s experience so warm and welcoming that I was so proud my best friend could see why I love Chaupain so much. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and as we were about to leave, he sent us home with some treats. Now, what he didn’t know was that he gifted us with the very treats that I was sitting there thinking, “I really want to try that custard berry croissant. And if only I had space for my favorite pistachio croissant, I wish I could share it with my friend so she could see how wonderful it is.” All that on top of the fact that my dad had been in the hospital for the past two weeks - this man’s act of kindness went such a long way. I wish I knew his name. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ♥️

This place is simply amazing!! Every time I’ve gone( the staff are so friendly and happy. Most times, they throw in a free pastry or bread as well. This place deserves all the success they have been getting with more locations on the way! I try to bring in a box of these pastries to my work once a month or so, and everyone is always so excited and content with whatever I get from here.

In and out with a couple baked goods. The pastries were light and flaky, the flavors weren't in your face, simple and delicious. I want to go back and try a breakfast, the potatoes look really good. Staff was all super friendly.

My husband found this place online and took me there as a surprise even if he didnt know how it would be (because it reminded him Europe since I am Czech and this place is French) and we were blown away with the brunch and also the pastry we took home. We even got another 3 pieces of pastry for free from Justin which was another very pleasant surprise 👍 The only odd is that it so small inside and you can only sit outside but the quality of the food makes up for it. I also like the idea that you can pick side for the main breakfast and it has good options (salad, fruit or potatoes). I had a savory croissant with eggs and avocado and salad and my husband had a monsignor sandwich, both very delicious. The croissants are just perfect both savory or sweet. Places like this are much much better that the common american breakfast places.

I’ve visited Chaupain Bakery a few times and it never disappoints! Their pastries are always fresh, with a wide variety of offerings that deliver an authentic taste. The staff is consistently friendly and polite, which makes the experience even better. While it may not be the best French bakery in OC, it’s certainly among the top contenders. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Excellent wraps, sandwiches, croissants, ingredients are very fresh. Wraps/Sandwiches comes with the choice of roasted potatos or salad. Coffee are just ok so you may skip however they do offer fruits infused ice water. Cafe can be very crowded on weekends morning but be patient and you’ll find seats. The crowd is a mix of locals and foreigners. Occasionally, there are birds hawking around the tables. Overall, highly recommended especially their croissants, pastries and tarts, probably DA BEST I’ve tried whilst in LA, gives Porto’s pastries a run for it’s monies ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The only cons are there is no restroom within and you have to use their neighbour’s crap restroom that cant even lock 😖😫 and black birds hawking over your foods.

A young man in this locale offered my daughter & I, after 5:30pm 26Mar, a complimentary loaf of bread of our choosing. Well, let me tell you, it works. We love the Garlic Parmesan. Not only will we be back for that, but others as well. Also, can't wait to go back & try their crepes too.

10s across the board, friendliness, courteous, helpful, clean store, knowledge of the power of marketing.

Please let that young man how we appreciate his courtesy.

Nice Bakery! All pastries that I tried are pretty good. It would be my to-go bakery. Mixed Berry Croissant is beyond my expectation. Fruit tarts are fresh and flavorful. Coconut and mango is a little bit too sweet for me but the mango tastes great. Highly recommend the peach tart! Btw Madeleines are just ok. Not recommend it.
