Irvine Ranch Market — Local services in Newport Beach

Delicious food, amazingly curated selection of goods, perfect produce, lovely desserts, and very helpful, knowledgeable staff. The dessert selection was as delicious as it was beautiful. I walked away with two types of cannoli, a creme brulee which they torched for me right there for a perfectly caramelized surface, and an amazing strawberry cupcake... and it really took self restraint to leave the other delectable offerings behind.

Thank you Irvine Ranch Market for replacing whatever that other store was. Suggestion: make a self service coffee kiosk where we can pump our own coffee and not wait in line.

It was pretty busy but didn't feel cramped and checkout was quick. We were joking with the cashier about our drinking choices as being indicators of our personality types, we had a beer girl, wine girl, Tito's girl, & seltzer girl in our group....they had something good...
