Rachel’s BakeHouse — Restaurant in La Habra

In the spirit of an honest review, I left one star off for atmosphere. This is a new business and they're tweaking layout and AC issues. The service and food were beyond phenomenal.

From the outside, Rachel's bakehouse is unassuming and doesn't set very high expectations. Once you're inside, that immediately changes. We were instantly greeted by David and wafting smells from the kitchen.

I will no longer have to make trips to the coast or West LA for pastries, as these far surpass what I once had. Family owned and service is warm inviting and friendly. I hope many more learn of this bakery as it is...

We tried the turkey pesto provolone on heirloom cherry tomato focaccia and the black forest ham and gruyere on jalapeño cheese bread and it was chef's kiss. Will definitely...
