"Rye Goods is a bakery and cafe with a few locations around Orange County and is best known for heirloom sourdough loaves and putting tasty farmers market-y things on toast. The Laguna Beach location is inside the Lumberyard Mall, a woodsy shopping plaza that strongly resembles the village of Beauty and the Beast. Come here for a casual brunch, or just a nice chocolate croissant and a flat white while you browse at the nearby boutiques filled with crystal sculptures and large oil paintings. Rye Goods is also a good low-commitment evening option, with natural wines by the glass and simple dishes like potato-leek soup and a roasted veggie sandwich." - garrett snyder, jess basser sanders
