Pandor Artisan Bakery and Café — Restaurant in Newport Beach

This has been one of my go to places for ordering-in lunch at work. Every single thing I have ordered has been delicious, nicely packaged and beautifully presented. I have ordered the Atlantique crepe which I have attached an image. It comes with greens and was very good. My favorite is the quiche! It is so fresh and savory. I have ordered the Quiche Mediterranean twice and it has been excellent both times. I absolutely love it. I want to try more of their quiches. They deliver so quickly every time I have ordered and there have never been any mistakes. I also tried the Romeo and Juliette crepe, which was enormous enough to share with a co-worker. It was very rich though, we could only get through a few bites! I look forward to ordering from them again very soon!!!! Thank you Pandor for your excellence.

Update from 8/25/2020: Went for a quick dessert - tried the Opera cake and pistachio creme brulee. The opera cake was chocolate and yellow cake and frosting tightly layered = delicious. The pistachio creme brulee was different for sure, but I definitely liked it and would get both desserts again. It is so difficult to choose. Once again, Pandor did not disappoint. I don't think there has been anything I have ever disliked here. Everything is...

Bookmarked for years and boyfriend surprised me with brunch here. He got a taste of their chocolate mousse cakes at work earlier in the week and wanted to make his way in to experience the full menu.

We arrived around noon and it was a bakery/restaurant that was bustling with patrons inside and out. There was plenty of patio seating and indoor seating, but we chose to sit inside comfortably. For lunch, boyfriend ordered the scrambled egg sandwich while I chose to try their popular french toast.

The scrambled egg sandwich came with bacon, cheese, tomatoes, bell pepper and arugula on ciabatta with a side of potatoes. The bread was nicely toasted and extra crispy! My french toast portion was massive! Topped with fresh fruits and a generous pile of whipped cream, the bread was absolutely perfect. I would have preferred a bit of cinnamon or more flavor to my batter, but it had a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Pretty darn good!

And before we left, boyfriend picked up a chocolate cake to go. They had plenty of other pastries on display, but breakfast was too much for me to handle anything else, or at least the thought of more. I packed up half of my french toast to go and it was perfect the...

The team at Pandor made a fantastic Chocolate Croissant and Panini. The iced chai latte was ok in Flavor but not outstanding.

Pandor is located in a shopping area on 17th Street in Costa Mesa. It's tucked at the back of the Parking lot with other good places to get food. Pandor has fantastic baked goods and cakes. The staff is friendly and fast. It seemed like they were a little understaffed at the time I visited, there was a "stressed" vibe in the air. The interior is functional, it reminds me of chain bakeries in Europe. Nothing too comfortable, the sounds echo inside the bakery and it makes one not want to spend too long inside. The outside seating area is neat, there's plenty of seating but it was all taken while I visited.

I love Pandors baked goods and the Lunch and Breakfast options are all fantastic as well. It would be great to update the interior to something more aesthetic and less echoing but, this doesn't take away from the...
