Review C'est Si Bon - Newport Beach

C’est Si Bon is a pretty good bakery, and the line is always out the door because it’s so darn cheap. Where else can you get a croissant for <$3? But don’t expect an elevated, authentic French bakery experience. You do get what you pay for. Unfortunately, the low cost is reflected in the quality of some of their items. Some are good for the price, others aren’t worth having even if they’re cheap. WORTH HAVING: -sandwiches (flavorful and great bread) -croissants (not amazing, but decent for the price) -chocolate truffles (so rich and yummy) -baguettes (tasty and served warm) -coffee (decent cup of joe and piping hot) SKIPS: -cinnamon rolls (dry and not great flavor) -brownies (taste cakey, not fudgy like a brownie should) -muffins (they don’t look appetizing, because they aren’t) I haven’t tried their cakes or tarts yet but will give those a shot next! Overall I think it’s worth standing in line for some pretty affordable delights, but just know it’s hit or miss.

A perfect venue for a birthday celebration, excellent food and service by our server Beth. Defiantly return. Ample portions lots of accompaniments. One leaves very satisfied.

Delicious roast beef sandwich. All ingredients are fresh and high quality. Raspberry cheesecake was also wonderful

Fresh looking bread and deserts. Good sandwich, roast beef and brie on a soft baguette, but lacked a bit on flavor.

Always fresh! I live their sandwich. Highly recommend. Also they always take care their customers. Good stuff.

I got the 9 inch sandwich with turkey on a regular baguette, mayo, and yellow mustard, pickles, lettuce, sprouts. So GOOD!

Go for the baked goods and coffee, stay for the sandwiches, and make sure to get brie on yours. Everything from the fresh baguette and the house made cornichons are delicious!
