History

Established in 2012.

Pandor Artisan Boulangerie & Café, opened the authentic French bakery’s second location in 2012 in Newport Beach. Pandor’s flagship location is in the South of France, but the company got its start in the United States with a bakery in Newport Beach. The Newport Beach bakery and café serves fresh baked breads and pastries, as well as coffee, tea, omelets, French toast, sandwiches, tartines (open-​face sandwiches), paninis, salads, soups and quiches. Locals were quickly impressed with the large selection of authentic French Boulangerie experience as the bakery delivers french breads and pastries early every morning to welcoming breakfast goers.

Business Owner

Tiffany & Raffi Sepetjian are serious foodies who love to travel, particularly to France where they have family. Their true passion revolved around a dream to open an authentic French boulangerie, similar to the ones they had often enjoyed on the streets of Paris. That vision became a plan eight years ago. They named it Pandor, an abbreviation of the French words «pain d’or,» meaning golden bread. With already two locations in Newport Beach and Belmont Shores, the Sepetjians are so excited about their third location at the Anaheim Packing District in August 2015.

Crêpes at Pandor are as good as it gets. Savory or sweet, take your choice. You can fly to Paris and you won’t get a better crêpe! Bön appétit!

We wanted some breakfast and came across Pandor Unilocal.It was just across the street do we took a nice short walk over to the plaza.
Upon arrival, we were hit with the wonderful sweet smells. We were greeted by a gentlemen making a crêpe… My mouth was watering! We went over and we’re looking at the menu when the same gentleman offered us samples of this cake/​pastry… It was delicious heaven! It’s named OMG, rightfully so… The cashier said it’s also known as the crack bar lol I understand why, it’s delicious and my new addiction!
We made our breakfast choices, and got 2 OMGs, of course. Our orders were delivered to our table shortly, great presentation. We got different kinds of omelettes, both came with a crispy slice of there fresh baked bread and a nice leaf lettuce salad, one of the omelettes came with some copied potatoes. Both were delicious, the omelettes were fluffy and light, with great flavors. The salads had a light dressing on them, delicious. The bread was awesome, nothing remained on our plates.
We also got capacinos, the flavors were exquisite… true Italian café. The coffees complemented the OMG bars which I ate so slowly so I could savor every bite.
I will be returning soon, I want to try the crepes! Check out the long case on your way to the cashier, it has cakes, pastries… And so much more.

I couldn’t imagine finding better French casual in Southern California. Everything we’ve tried had been wonderful.

I have to give this place another stellar review. I am here at least once a week to get bread or a little treat, or for lunch or breakfast!
There is a man that works at Pandor, I believe his name is Camile or Cammille, and he is the best. It is rare to find such great customer service, he greets you with a smile every time you walk in. Oh and the crepes he makes, oh the crepes! I have never had someone make as good of a crêpe as he does, he even lets you watch!
This place has great food, but what really makes you come back is the service, and I think my favorite crêpe guy really adds to that.

Every time I have a party or event I get the pastries from Pandor. Everything there is unique and absolutely amazing, and on occasion I’ve been lucky enough to bump into the owners Tiffany and Rafi whom are the nicest people!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The food is decent with some good choices of the croissants and bread. This review is for the poor management and service. The owner Tiffany is lacks knowledge and respect for people and the workers are the same as well. When I go into this shop, it feels like I’m in a nail salon and all the workers are talking crap about you.

I left with many more questions than a decent meal here. I arrived some 45 minutes before closing time, and the rather unfriendly girl behind the counter informs me the chef was already gone for the evening. Really? 45 minutes before closing time the chef leaves? Interesting. So then the girl and guy (who was also behind the counter, who appeared to be a cleaning person?) have a conversation each asking the other if they knew how to make the rather simple sandwich I wanted to order. The cleaning guy says yes, he can do it. Great.
I then ask for the side of fries that’s written right on the menu as a side item that comes with the sandwich. The girl behind the counter then says I can’t have that because they’ve turned off the fryer already. It’s 45 minutes before closing time people. She then proceeds to charge me full price for the sandwich, despite not providing the side that supposedly comes with the sandwich.
Next, I sit and wait for 20 — 25 minutes for the cleaning guy to make my simple sandwich.
If you aren’t willing to offer the things on your own menu during business hours, prepared by the actual person that’s hired to prepare food, then either take them off the menu or just close your doors. What a bizarre experience.

I haven’t even gotten my food yet, and I’m already overwhelmed by the incredible customer service. The store manager described in detail his favorite pastry items, and gave me a free baguette, OMG bar, and piece of flan because it was my first time coming in. Obviously I’m coming back. He was incredibly personable and got me really excited about the food here. I haven’t even gotten my eggs and beans yet, but I am just going to assume it’s going to be delicious. Come here.

This is an absolutely great place to grab breakfast from! A cute little café, with a large selection of baked goods as you decide from their already extensive menu. There are so many options, it’s really hard to choose.
After much contemplation, I ended up getting the Farmers Omelette, which comes with spinach, goat cheese, mushroom, and garlic. The goat cheese is all melted, oozing out as you cut the omelette open. Paired together with the veggies, it’s a perfect combination. Refreshing yet hearty, and so good!
Definitely crave this place, so giving it five stars. Check-​in and get a free OMG bar, which is also heavenly. It’s thin and has a nice crisp, yet is moist as well. Ton of flavor in this, and while it didn’t make me say OMG, it definitely was a decadent dessert. Parking is doable as it’s in a plaza. Can’t wait to be back!

This place seems to be very popular. The pastries looked delicious. The prices are pretty decent. I ordered the newporter and green tea latte. My friend ordered the nutella french toast and green tea latte. The newporter was pretty good and the potatoes were yummy. Our green tea latte did not have much matcha and the barista redid our drinks. The french toast were so fluffy and thick. We also got a free omg bar for checking in. The service was really good. The manager also check in with us a couple of times and came by to give us a free pastry. Thank you for the good food & service!

Pros: Variety of good tasting food. Pastries look great.
Cons: Service a bit slow. Panini a bit bread heavy. Prices slightly high.
I’ve eaten here twice now. They have a good selection of items, salads, soup, sandwiches and even crepes. Both times the food tasted delicious, full of flavor from herbs and even the natural flavor of bread. The French onion soup had a nice, robust, meaty flavor. The traditional bread topping stayed crisp for a long time. I haven’t tried any of the pastries, but they look like a work of art. The panini was bread heavy since the roll is not a thin, flat piece of bread but a baguette-​style load.
Both times, though, my food took about 15 minutes. Even when my order was just soup. Makes it a bit of a rush if you’re on your lunch hour at work.
Prices are about a dollar or two higher than your typical Subway, but the dishes taste a lot better and are more appealing.

We came here looking for for the Crêpe Coop, which is downstairs and wasn’t open. We ordered two crepes ($ 18) and two coffees ($ 8 – 10). The prices are a steep for what you get. I got a fancy feast vibe with the prices and the presentation until the food came out on paper plates and plastic wear. I had a hair in my coffee when it arrived. It was gross but I’m not one to let a hair stop me :-) I would have enjoyed a cute design in my latte, not today folks. The reason I’m giving 4 stars is because my latte is literally the second best I’ve had in my life. And my crêpe was the

Little neighborhood gem! OMG ! The best almond croissants ever! Had to come back and get a second one! Unbelievable French baguette bread! French pastries are to die for! They serve full lunch as well if you have a sweet tooth and like good quality this is the place to go!

Think significantly more delicious and inspired version of Panera bread served with a side of snootiness.
The ordering process feels haphazard and the cashiers tend to stare vacantly at you with apparent boredom. Mixed experience with accommodating menu tweaks and special requests. Once you endure the condescending cashier, take your number and select a seat inside or under the shade of an umbrella outside, wait about 15 minutes for your order, and if you’re dining with someone else, don’t expect the food to come out at the same time. Other outdoor diners frequently bring children, infants, and pets (3 of my least favorite things in a dining experience).
But then there’s the food. It’s really good. I mean, really really good. Fresh to death with flavor combinations that range from traditional perfectly executed breakfast sandwiches to trendy cronuts to exotic lamb merguez omelets. Something to satisfy every palate here.
Crave worthy fare, cringe worthy service, but still a solid spot to breakfast, lunch, or brunch.

Loved this little place! My coworkers decided to try this place after our failed attempted at getting a massage at the Hand & Stone (see review).
I had their egg sandwich on croissant ($ 1 extra but so worth it!) and an iced coffee. Their portions are huge! So expect to take something home or share with a friend :) The huge sandwich came with a side of salad and cute diced up potatos (which I also loved).
I also picked up a few baked goods including cronut, croissant and an almond something baked bread.
Everything tasted delicious, staff is super friendly and I loved the atmosphere of this place. Will need to try their other location since it is closer to me!

A Sunday Funday isn’t complete until you fill yourself up with a yummy and hearty brunch — and that’s exactly what you get when you come here! Best part? Your wallet won’t hate you afterwards since the menu is fairly priced.
Make your way past all those delicious pastries and sweets display to order at the front first before you seat yourself. They bring out the food to you, but do make sure that they give you the right order! It got pretty hectic when I went because it was crazy packed and there were some order mix-​ups (in which they were happy to correct!) I got the Pacific Omelette, which comes with a side salad, diced potatoes, and toasted bread. SO FILLING but without feeling like I’m going to pass out from food coma. They also have a lot of other menu options that I can’t wait to try — like quiches, crepes, french toast!!!
Good location as you don’t have to worry about parking, and you can also choose to sit outside if you want to soak in the summer Newport Beach weather :)

14 juillet et j’étais en train de chercher un bistro français pour profiter de la fête nationale. Voilà pandor! J’ai commandé un croissant du chocolat et amande (génial) un café au lait (top) et j’ai fais mon propre omelette (super). L’endroit est condensé mais il y a des chaises dehors. Les mecs la sont très amicales, je reviendrai bien sur.
