Upon walking in I was immediately met with the delicious scent of fresh baked goodies and a friendly greeting. The 16oz flat white latte was perfect and honestly probably one of the best Ive had. I had only went for coffee but when I saw the fresh giant cinnamon rolls and before I could finish saying nothing else I had to grab two of these bad boys and it was the best decision I made all week. This cafe is so friendly I was in there laughing with the amazing ladies who work and own it. I will definitely be back! Go Padres!
Family owned and operated; local small business. He makes all the pastries and goodies right there and all by himself! Inspired by French bakeries (he grew up in France). Very cute place, great products, and personable friendly service.
Place was absolutely delicious. The person behind the counter was kind and knowledgeable. The food was head and shoulders above a restaurant even.Wife ordered a white chocolate mocha that would put Starbucks out of business. So happy to see this level in Alpine.
I am here right now and we are literally ordering.. everything. It smells so good in here and the woman behind the counter is the nicest woman ever. So cute inside, a gem of a french bakery. A must visit if you’re in the area for coffee breakfast or lunch.
This is THEE BEST NEw FIND IN A LONG TIME. SO CUTE. BEST BAKED GOODS. Super AWESOME N FRIENDLY STAFF. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
Such a great French bakery in Alpine. Happened to meet the owner and the baker. Really nice friendly folks and staff. Pastries and breads are delicious!
I got an iced chai latte, hands down the best damn chai I’ve ever tasted! Keep it up. Loved it here
Expensive! Very friendly staff, over-icing sugard almond croissant that tasted a bit weird/stale. Pineapple cooler was nice.
This was my first time here, and it was awesome! The girl up front was very kind and helpful. The bread is delicious and the coffee is out of this world. My new favorite place to go!
Very good breakfast croissants! Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The food and coffee are amazing! What puts this place over the top though is the family that runs it! They are super friendly, hard workers and good people!
Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for your cheery personality and getting everything spot on! We will be stopping in again tomorrow morning 😍
Such a good, quick breakfast! Chocolate croissant, pretzel and coffee were all delicious. If youre a fan of caramel syrup, add the house made caramel to your coffee/latte 😋
Cute shop but a bit pricey.
Very nice staff but the açaí bowl I got was not good (more like a smoothie and the banana was so ripe it was almost rotten tasting) and they do not have wifi
CroBean bakery and coffee is incredible!! To start, you are always greeted with the friendliest smile and hello. The owners are absolutely amazing and you can tell the passion they have for all that they do. Everything in this bakery is delicious. My favorites are the ham and cheese croissant and all of the loaves of bread made here. To be honest, the hardest part of going is trying to make the decision of what to eat that morning. It is a wonderful treat and I always feel less guilty knowing that everything is made fresh, all organic and full of love! I recommend you try it, but, warn you may become addicted!!
This quaint bakery is a great place to stop for coffee with a friend. The selection of items from pastries, to dessert, to bread or macaroons will satisfy any finicky eater or connoisseur. Service is fantastic too!
Great bakery. Wonderful owners. I make a special trip just to buy bread and pastries.
Great pastries and bread! Get there early because theres always a line but well worth the wait. Also they have an amazing selection of French macaroons.
Wonderful bread and bowls and great personal service!
Fresh lemonade and homemade goodies!
Amazing service & ALWAYS FRESH. Must stop in and try a delicious chocolate croissant! Definitely a go to for coffee and baked goods!!!
Wonderful assortment of baked goods. And they are delicious. Very nice lady owns the shop. The shop was closed yet she open the doors for me. Check the hours before you go. They are open half days.
Nice little place. They serve Cafe Moto coffee! Its local and its good!!
Fantastic coffee and croissants.
Wonderful staff. The baked goods are fantastic! We try something new each time we go. Everythings baked that morning incredibly fresh. If you are anywhere close to Apline you must try it.
Wow! This place is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly!! So many delectable goodies, breads, and cookies to pick and lovely quiches, too! Then theres the coffee, doesnt matter if its drip coffee or custom espresso, all are delicious. My new favorite Café.
The hospitality in their service and quality of their baked goods would argue them to be the very lifeblood of this small town. I wish them only the very best.
Great bakes and desserts! Family owned and so friendly. A big open space with a view of all the goodies and all the delicious fresh-baked bread smells permeating the air. I’d go back again!
My husband does the running of errands in the morning & he stops at this new local bakery. When we first tried their fare, 5 months ago, the Ham & Cheese Croissant was pretty good size, that two people can share. Its very good, fresh & good cheese. Lately, the last one we got had shrunk, smaller, therefore, not enough to share anymore 😯! We didnt mind that it was pretty pricey for their products, as they do make some delicious & specialty baked goods. I just wish they dont cut costs & sacrifice quality & quantity. They are such nice folks & we want them to succeed, as such that we shall come back again & see if my favorite Ham & Cheese Croissant is worth the trip.
We had never been here before. We always said we were going to stop but before today we had not. We were glad we did. The woman behind the counter was so sweet and nice!! I loved the quaintness of the place! I got a chocolate chip/cream cheese in the middle croissant. My friend got a coconut macaroon and cheese croissant. It was okay cause we didnt realize it would be crispy, we were expecting soft. We would go back again.
I love this place! The food is AMAZING... like out of this world delicious. The owners are so kind and helpful. Its a pleasure for my family to support this small business. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives or is passing through Alpine!!
Food was great! Highly recommend!
Great service and very friendly people!! Very tasty whatever you choose. Excellent place.
Best pastries in SoCal!
This place is the best kept secret in Alpine - and it shouldnt be! Their pasries and fresh bread are made from scratch and ALL to die for! No preservatives, no additives, just plain goodness! If you are heading out of town on east I-8, you must stop in on your way through. You will not be disappointed! Yum!!!!
Perfect backcountry coffee shop. Great coffee & pastries. Fresh baked bread to take home for dinner. Great stop to a scenic drive out to the countryside of San Diego.
Best ownership ever.
The pastries were so fresh that the only menu is viewing whats been baked and stocked in the case for the day. I had a huge fresh baked cinnamon roll right after it came out of the oven around 6am and it was amazing.
Awesome place. Super nice people. The apple turnover is the best pastry I’ve ever had.
Love love love this place. Wonderful people and delicious baked goods!
Great coffee shop in Alpine.
One of our favorite places in Alpine! We are proud to call ourselves regulars to this wonderful addition to the Alpine community! Great food, great drinks, fantastic service, and a beautiful setting! I highly recommend this place to anyone who may be wondering!!
As always we enjoy our sweet French bakery
Amazing bakery with the friendliest owner and great coffee. The macarons are amazing and absurdly good!
Nice little cafe with sweets and breakfast items as well as a good variety of drinks.
Excellent baked goods. Recommended to me by an Alpine resident, and it did not disappoint. Very clear social distancing plan for customers. Staff was great.
Just wanted to review this place & people working there. Great & friendly people & service, food A++++. The croassan I ordered was so good. Heard about this place while leaving in Alpine, but never had chance to go. Finally moved out of town & made it. My morning start up bad today so when I left I realized I forgot my purse there with all my money, cards & documents. I’m glad they found it & I got it back, nothing was lost. Thanks will be back there.
Great little coffee shop and bakery! Country feel and super friendly staff. smells amazing in here and the coffee is fantastic as well and they have non-dairy milks including allmond soy and oat. Come support this place! 5 Stars
Ordered strawberry shortcakes the day before a birthday party and they were able to help me out! Everything was handmade, fresh and moist. In the last two weeks I would say I have tried a good assortment of everything they bake. My favorite so far is the fresh croissants which were buttery, light and flakey. Can’t go wrong with anything in there all delish and I didn’t have to drive to little Italy. Try the desserts before they sell out everyday.
Outstanding service! Hot, fresh and delicious what else is there to say!
Just what alpine needs. Great baked goods from fresh breads like baguettes to delicious breakfast sandwiches like croques or ham and cheese croissants to sweet confections like tasty fruit tarts. They even have gourmet coffee.You wont be disappointed
Great selection of authentic french pastries...all of which (that my group had) were amazing.
Love this place! Hard working friendly folks. Great Acai bowls...the Ham & Cheese Crossants was bomb...sorry no pics available we were hungry!
This Alpine located bakery was awesome, qprofessionalism, delicious with a humongous variety & different favors in bake goods. A++!
Wonderfull experience all around! I love it when new places move in, especially ones like this that set themselves apart from other similar places in the area. I would take my business here over Starbucks any day!! Their coffee is fair priced...and their baking is by far the best I have had in this part of East County. We had a ham and cheese croissant and an iced coffee, our kids had a chocolate, and a jalapeno croissant....amazing!! The loaf of bread we purchased, asparagus and garlic, was very crispy and fresh. I wish it had more of the garlic and asparagus inside the bread, maybe large chunks...but thats ok. We will be back for desserts and to try more breads In the future...believe me....you will not be disappointed.
Great serviceGreat price for the quality of the productHighly recommended
Very lovely people. Prices are a little high but very nice.
Our absolute favorite cafe in Alpine. Real French pastries and breads, baked fresh daily. The couple that runs it is delightful and friendly every day.
Awesome baked goods! Wonderful people!
Amazing bakery! Great coffee, pastries, and breads. Customer service is top notch.
I wish I could get a bad danish or loaf of bread or coffee....everything is so amazing!!! I have internal struggles with myself to not go daily. Then I reason with myself and know that the blueberries on my cheese danish is doing me some good :)
Today it was the ham and cheese croissants; wonderful. Try one and youll be back for more.
The most incredible local French bakery in East County. A definite treat for both morning and evening goodies.
Love everything there including the people, best customer service in town!!
Fantastic!! Get the pretzel. Amazing. Nice people.
Delicious! Great little bakery with delicious treats and breakfast sandwiches! ~You Must Try it~
Fresh coffee, delicious pastries, +great customer service!!!
Amazing customer service, keep it up!
The giant cookies look good but they are dry, dont order. The lemon bars are just okay, skip it. The croissants are AMAZING, order them!!! I am going back for more and I want to try a loaf of bread. Coffee is good! From March/2020Updated 2/2021- 5stars!!! Mexican Mocha is wonderful! Not to sweet, mild spice and cocoa flavors. Croissant bread pudding is AMAZING!!! Totally worth the $7. Happy suprise, the bread pudding had chocolote instead of gross raisins in it!! It was so delicious. My new favorite treat. I put it in the oven at 350 for 20 mins when I got home. Crispy edges, soft inside, flavor was yummy and not too sweet. Cream on top was great too!
Great coffee and flaky croissants.
Friendly folk, slow service, dry food
My go to place for croissants, bread and macaroons
