Chaupain Bakery

Love this bakery. However, huge disappointment are the Pistachio croissants. Instead of injecting the paste into the croissant they are inexplicably slicing it, spreading the paste onto the interior. Besides too much paste, altering the perfect balance they achieved before, this totally compromises the structure of what started out as an amazing croissant. Splitting it tears the layers, flakes of the pastry are loosened and fall off. Then spreading the thick paste further compresses the interior. We used to go a couple times a week to buy the pistachio croissants and more (of course) but now we hardly go in as that was our favorite item. We were buying them at the farmers market location before the Del Mar location opened. I can't imagine the time saved by this new destructive procedure offsets lost sales. Please please reconsider!!!! Thank you.

Somehow no one mentioned the fantastic millefeuille? Παρα πολύ νόστιμο!

Stumbled across this place while at the farmers market today. Super impressed! We bought 3 times in one hour LOL! Initially just savory, then back for dessert pastries, and then again for more pastries for tomorrow morning, they were so good! Also Ethan helped us out and was super friendly and good with the recommendations! We will be back!!!

This place had the best tarts, hands down. I have a sweet tooth and everywhere I go, I look for that quaint bakery. In San Clemente, this was the place. We went there later in the afternoon, and we dug into the apple and peach tarts, eclairs, mille feuille and croissants, along with coffee. The pastries were delectable and full of flavor. The tarts had the perfect crust and the filling was perfectly sweet. It didn't break or fell off and was ideal with the cappuccino. I packed a few pastries to go also. Definitely a place to visit if you are in the area.

This local San Clemente business is a gem. I stopped in to order a quiche as well as some danishes for Christmas Eve. The employees were so helpful in their suggestions! The people were truly kind and patient and amazing. I ordered one piece of mushroom and leek quiche to try it and it was truly delicious. The staff was even incredibly nice about the likelihood that I would change my order over the next two days as I find out what my Christmas guests can or can’t eat (lol)! Another customer bought a baguette and told me that it was the best! She said she pairs it with Chaupain’s feta dip to take to holiday parties. The atmosphere is cute and small, but it has big results.

My wife & daughter got very sick from the spinach quiche. They ate it about 20 minutes after we purchased it and became quite sick within the hour. I brought the second piece we bought back to them. They didn't give me a refund for anything and I never got a response from the manager. Beware of what you eat from here.

You won't be disappointed and you will be back. This place is a staple. Welcome to France baby! Quiche is the best you will find in these American States.

We stopped for coffee and pastries. Excelent quality and flavor. The personalized service is outstanding!!

Riktigt bra café för en riktigt god fika eller en lättare lunch, goda mackor, quiche och fantastiskt gott fikabröd, massor att välja på
