Rye Goods

Rye Goods on 17th Street in Costa Mesa is everything I love in one stop. I came for a flat white and left very, very full. Baleu made my coffee beautifully, real latte art in those tricky cups, silky with Strauss milk and the balanced roast I crave. Her service set the tone right away, warm, attentive, and fast without rushing. Food wise, they nailed it. The everything bagel stacked with eggs, avocado, and sun-dried tomatoes was fresh and satisfying. The focaccia, heated, had that crisp edge and airy center that makes you pause between bites. We added scrambled eggs, soft and perfectly seasoned. The Caesar was a standout, kale based and super fresh, with sweet pops of apple, roasted butternut squash, and warm pitas that made it feel hearty and bright all at once. I finished with pastries because I always do here. The ginger snap cookie was as good as ever. The almond croissant was delicious, dense yet flaky, and yes it does have cardamom, which gives it a lovely lift. I absolutely overate and regret nothing. Major shoutout to Baleu for exceptional service and a gorgeous flat white. This spot continues to deliver on quality, flavor, and hospitality. I will be back soon.

Always been a fan of Rye Goods and this new location is great. Food and coffee are top notch. They also have some healthy snacks for sale along the wall. We got the Rye Breakfast and Sourdough Pancakes which I highly recommend.

We’ve been going to Rye Goods for years, and they just keep getting better every time we visit. We used to stop in mainly for pastries, but always wished for more “real food” options. Now, with the addition of sandwiches and other menu items, it’s become a go-to spot for meals too. The fried chicken sandwich, watermelon salad, and biscuit are all incredible, and the morning bun is still one of our favorites. Everything tastes fresh, creative, and well-made. On top of the food, the staff is always extremely friendly, which makes every visit that much better. We’re excited to keep coming back and seeing how their menu continues to evolve.

This new location takes the exceptional bakery and patisserie that Rye has become known for in the Newport area and expands on the welcome and hospitality the team has shown for years. The space is beautifully designed to offer ample seating options, plenty of market offerings and an expanded wine program. The quiet energy and ambience is perfect for working through a wonderful breakfast or lunch. It’s easy to imagine the space as a comfortable bright dinner spot for friends and family.

Love the bread and especially the pastries at rye goods! I visited during their soft opening and despite them being busy, staff was incredibly helpful on their recommendations for coffee and their large selection of bread. Location is chic and cozy perfect for hanging out and meeting new people. I will be coming back for their planned wine night and their chocolate chip cookies!

My friend recently found this place and I love it so much! Delicious espresso drinks and food, friendly service, and a lovely patio shaded by trees and canopies. It’s never been too loud, but rather peaceful. (I’ve been there in the afternoons and early evenings.) Rye Goods sadly closes at 4 but you can remain on the patio after close as it is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. Your name will be called to pick up your coffee at the counter but food will be brought to your table. Highly recommend!

We really like Rye Good and were really sad when the Balboa island location closed. It is my first time to check out the Costa Mesa location, and their fruit tea cake is so good! I really like how fresh the cake tastes and especially the staffs are really friendly here. Highly recommend it and will come back again!

This is so Costa Mezing! Such a great new spot for Rye Goods in the neighborhood. The staff is warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Can’t wait to check out the wine bar once it opens! Whether you’re grabbing a coffee and pastry to start your day or meeting a friend on the weekend, this place just hits right.

Cute little charming bakery that has some food offerings as well. The interior is clean and this is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. The service was pretty fast. The sourdough was yummy, that was my favorite. There's seating outdoors where you can enjoy your coffee or food. The salad that came with my breakfast dish had a zesty dressing which was a perfect contrast. Also enjoyed the seasoned potatoes.

I had to wait 29 minutes for a to-go breakfast burrito. I love rye goods. I went to their Newport location a lot, & supported their Tustin location when it opened. Price was about $18. I'm mainly frustrated by the exceedingly long wait time for a to-go order.

Their butter croissant is very unique not to mention quite large! It's buttery goodness. Only wish is for them to warm up their pastries. Their coffee game is very weak... but we go for the pastries. New location is much more spacious and provides plenty of seating outdoors. Extra charge for condiments even when you order a meal - strange

The coffee and food are mid, the bread is good, the ambiance is cute and service is decent. The low score is mainly coming from the fact that this place is INSANELY overpriced for what it is. Who the hell charges for HOT SAUCE? Eggs + Salad cost $30 and you're gonna charge me for HOT SAUCE?

A little bakery tucked away in Newport. The interior and exterior is extremely spacious and clean. They have plenty of tables and seating. The perfect spot for a casual breakfast, brunch, coffee, catch-up! - biscuit with whipped butter and seasonal jam: 9.8/10!!! If you get anything, get this!!! So delicious. Light, fluffy, crispy biscuit filled with a slightly sweet whipped butter and a delicious and tart seasonal jam. I will come back solely for this item. - savory handpie: 4/10. I was informed by the worker that this was filled with Japanese curry. After eating the pastry, the filling is not Japanese curry. It was more of an Indian style curry. :( this was disappointing and not yummy. They have a huge variety of pastries, breakfast items, breads, and microwavable foods that you can take home for a meal! Would definitely like to try more things from here!

Super cute shop with freshly made sourdough bread and pastries. Many of he breads are vegan except for brioche and those that add cheese to it. The bread was absolutely delicious I got the sesame seed sourdough so good!! They also have frozen cookie dough and additional items in the refrigerator section. I wish there was a sandwich that was vegan or that they used vegan just egg with breakfast. They have a cute patio as well. Very busy on soft opening so I'm sure it will continue to be a busy place.

Their sour dough croissant is not your traditional croissant, but it's one of my favorite croissants. Darker in color due to the rye, super chewy, a little dense, and oh so buttery. A standout among a lot of the bakeries I've tried whose croissants all blend together. They also make a mean scone here. Will have to come back for more!

Definitely worth the line!! We went on a Saturday morning and it didn't take long to get to the front. The staff was super friendly and offered suggestions. As a bit of a coffee snob, I thought that my cortado was really good. The bagel sandwich was so massive and every bite was delicious. Definitely an impressive array of options, and the shop inside was gorgeous. Also tons of seating outside!

Absolutely beautiful bakery/cafe. Lots of breads, pastries, and take home options. Sweetest service ever, the cashier this morning was soooo helpful and patient. Plenty of seating options as well, highly recommend!

We ordered the avocado toast and the honey mustard chicken sandwich. Both were very good, definitely recommend. The service was also good, we got our food fairly quickly. Really like the outdoor patio of this bakery, can sit outside and enjoy the outdoors! Will definitely go back to Rye Goods soon!

First off this new Rye goods location is a 10/10! They have a front and back patio as well as indoor seating! The ambience on these patios feels like you are enjoying your food in your backyard. Rye goods is truly one of my favorites but as you can see they cut my sandwich with a dirty knife and got cream cheese on my sandwich. It wasn't a huge deal since i'm not allergic or anything I just don't like cream cheese. I would just be cautious if you have allergies! Overall sandwich was very delicious and I love the ingredients they use here for all their baked goods.

Fresh, homemade breads and baked goods. This place is absolutely delicious and worth the wait if there's a line. I don't eat bagels often, but when I do, I go to rye goods! They also have homemade soups on those colder days. Go skip this place!!

This is my new favorite place in Costa Mesa for a weekend breakfast! Such a cute spot with amazing outdoor seating. Their patio is huge and has so many different tables. The inside felt very clean and modern and well laid out. The pastries were out of this world incredible with so many different options. The bagels were delicious, we loved the egg bagel Sammy. Fantastic coffee drinks too. The servers were very speedy and brought us utensils outside without being asked. So nice, family friendly.

On a Sunday morning this is a tough spot to make an order, I waited over 20 minutes patiently to make a purchase for a takeout item. The service was courteous, but abrupt, and the food itself was alright. I wouldn't return for anything quick to eat. I ordered the cauliflower wrap, which was decent, but not the caliber I would expect for the price. I normally love the pastries, but this item particularly was not my favorite. I did appreciate the fact that the cauliflower wrap was a vegan and gluten free option.

Dear Yelp Community, Was sad to see this relocate from Lido Marina Village...but happy to see the reemergence not too far...in Costa Mesa. Friendly staff, and nice building (Paseo 17) with outdoor seating. My afternoon break with coffee (first drip with honey, then Americano plain) for here (in the nicer cup). Enjoy! Sincerely, Anna

Fun, casual bakery that's perfect for meeting up with friends on a weekend morning or bringing your laptop to do work during the week. I ordered the Rye Scrambled Eggs and it was delicious - nice portion with soft scrambled eggs on a not-too-crunchy piece of bread and a refreshing salad on the side. I also had the matcha latte and it was serviceable. The parking is somewhat of a zoo so don't expect to find parking in their lot (unless you're willing to valet) but there is plenty of street parking, as well as a parking lot across the street. Also, they appear to be constantly busy and some of our food took quite a while so plan accordingly.

I was so excited to try this spot, but it did not live up to expectations, and I would rather have gone to Eller or tried the neighboring milligram next door. Their menu states that you can get eggs your way for the breakfast sandwich; however, they do not offer egg whites, which should be included in the eggs your way statement. It should specify except egg whites. Also, they were out of avocado, which was super disappointing. I don't like that their coffees or Matcha only come in one size, but the vanilla Matcha was delicious. They also do not offer many flavors for their drinks, except vanilla mocha or honey. The flavor on the croissant breakfast sandwich was good but the turkey sausage or whatever meat was included was funky and not my fav. Also, you order and then take a number and they bring you your order, except you have to go back up for your drinks, which no one told me, so our drinks were sitting out for a while, but I do really love that you can sit outside and they have live music. I think this place was a once-and-done for me and overly hyped.

This new Rye location is so beautiful! Tons of indoor and outdoor seating. The crew was so kind and our pastries and drink was excellent, will definitely be making this location a regular stop for our family!

Absolutely terrific breads and the customer service is impeccable. We are madly in love with the oat bread.

I always enjoyed getting food here when this spot was in Newport. Visited new location in Costa Mesa. Very cute space but hard to find parking. My biggest issue is the wait time. Ordered a plain bagel with chive cream cheese on a not so busy Monday morning. Took 15 min to get my order. When I asked about my order after 10 min, the young lady replied snooty "they are working on it". Like really? Not a thank you for your patience or sorry for the wait. After the long wait, I don't recommend my order. Nothing special for an over priced bagel.

Ok let me just preface this by saying .... I love rye goods and I go multiple times per week when I should be saving my money to buy a house. So .. yes I love it it's not uncommon for me to go 4-5 times per week it's great and the customer service is lovely. My ONE beef is that the can't warm up a pastry ... which like okay fair that would add to the overall wait of every single customer .... And I know everyone is scared of microwaves whatever but it's truly criminal that I have to buy a pastry to go, then walk or drive home and THEN heat it up basically being taunted the entire time. Like???? Are people just dry dogging these pastries fresh out the counter?

These pastries are so chewy and dry. Could not have been more disappointed. I fully cannot understand why the lines are so long.

I can't lie. The food is really good but just had a really bad experience here. The food costs at least $30 and we waited over 40 minutes for our food for some of the orders to come out wrong. The staff is kind but def stressed and the ambiance is really nice but this is just something to consider. Came to get a quick bite before the beach and ended up waiting an hour for toast.

Stopped here with my kids for some treats and everything was a hit, especially the biscuit with whipped butter and jam. Really darning atmosphere and friendly service. Price is up there but that matches the vibe. A lot easier and nicer than the lido location had been.

I forgot to take a picture of my bagel because I ate it too fast! But their bagels and chive cream cheese are so good. They also accommodated my request for a matcha with less caffeine since I'm pregnant with no issues which was so sweet- also it was such a good matcha. Will definitely be back. We've been by their lido location many times but I love that they have more food options now! The outdoor seating is also so nice!

Beautiful new neighborhood spot! The coffee and pastries were great and there is just a positive vibe to this place, will be back!

We were THRILLED to see a Rye Goods open here! My wife and I used to travel from Anaheim Hills down to Lido Village just for that location. We recently moved and now we can walk to this one. We'll probably be here every day. The baked goods don't miss. From the breakfast burrito to the sweet scones. You really can't go wrong. This location also has a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. Ambiance rules too! The staff are always super friendly. They do a great job here across the board.

We had been waiting for this one to open; stopped in and had the best experience! Pastries and coffee were excellent, and the team there were so sweet. Plenty of seating in a great spot and with great people working there, how does it get better?

Came for opening day and so happy they moved to this location. Much more spacious, cute little outdoor area. Ok but let's start with the goods. First off all everything is organic, sourdough and delicious. I have a gluten allergy but I can tolerate their sourdough. I don't have flare ups or any wild stomach cramping from their sourdough which is incredible. The one thing I do wish they had were Refined Sugar Free pastries. So it is a bummer I haven't had anything other than their loafs (without the sugar) and a couple other breakfast/lunch items that also don't have sugar. Also service is AMAZING! Everyone is so friendly. Riley has helped me out a couple of times and he is such a sweetheart! All in all 10/10. If you happen to make pastries that are refined sugar free I'd give them a 12/10.

rye goods is the best! i'm so happy they opened this location. the food is so fresh and delicious. my favorite place to come on a weekend morning! the line does get long though.

The breakfast sandwiches were good and the Matcha was delicious. However, the service was a disappointment. After assuring us they would come find us when the food was ready, they made zero attempts to do so. The food sat for a while before we realized it was ready. On top of that, they charge for condiments! There are so many amazing coffee shops in Costa Mesa - will not be going back to Rye Goods.

Really excellent espresso and kind employees. Took off a star because we waited almost 25 minutes for a bagel!

Great location and patio but the coffee and food was underwhelming. 17 dollars for a breakfast sandwich with a thin chicken sausage patty 1 cracked egg and some chipotle dressing is pretty disappointing. My cortado tasted burnt and when i needed water the canister was out and no one bothering to assist me as i waited at the counter to try to get some water just looked at me and kept on their way.

10/10 would recommend the sweet butter biscuit it's amazing as well as their sourdough bagels. Only thing though is that it's not an actual deli and have no meat products to pair with their breakfast options :p

Been here enough times to write a fair review, I think. The place is cute, and the outdoor seating is very pretty, under big old trees I wish I knew the names of. The staff is pleasant. The jalapeno-cheese bread had virtually neither. My first thought when I see things like this is that the place is more concerned with profit than quality. As an aside, I'm a business owner, so I understand the importance of profit. But quality needs to be there. The egg Provence dish had one small egg, that was burnt, and an enormous pile of peppers that sadly went in the trash because I cannot eat a dozen peppers just like that. Again the thought came to me, cutting costs to maximize profit. The baguette was much too hard to eat. I've had a few of the breads. They're not bad, but after a while they tend to taste the same. None of the breads are labeled so you have to ask what they are, I guess until you become a "local." It's not a bad place. But I doubt it would survive in the UK or EU.

this is the best bagel i've ever had, super soft and pillowy. everything in this picture is house made and you can taste it

If you're looking for a great place to enjoy delicious organic food/ pastries/ coffee/wine & so much more then look no more! The service is great & staff is super sweet ! All the different sourdough breads are amazing! I love them just toasted with butter. The food is seasonal , fresh & made to order ! They offer breakfast,lunch & all kinds of grab and go's . My favorite pastry is the morning buns, they have made them with lemon curd & meringue ,s'more,& pumpkin I have had them all ! They have indoor & outdoor seating. The outdoor seating in the courtyard is so relaxing. If you are looking for a quaint place,to meet up with family or friends Rye Goods is worth going to. There is complementary valet parking too! I highly recommend Rye Goods!

I was recently here for Breakfast w/ a friend and I was really looking forward to eating here. The establishment is really nice the food however could use improvement. The food specifically because we didn't have any of their pasteries. We ordered the sourdough pancakes, breakfast burrito, sun-dried tomato bagel sandwhich we had ordered the egg bagel Sammy but they were out of bagels already so they suggested this sandwhich. All dishes lacked flavor, literally didn't taste like anything. The breakfast burrito has more potato's than egg. There is no option to add any meat. Overall really bland and flavorless burrito. The sandwhich was also very bland and flavorless. All you could taste were the pieces of basil the sandwhich had. You barely noticed the sun-dried tomato on the bread, absolutely had not hint of taste either. Sandwhich bread wasn't good either it had no flavor and was not toasted. The pancakes where the last item I had a little hope for but those were a disappointment too. They had no flavor whatsoever and the blueberries compote on top and maple syrup didn't help make them taste better either. Not to be mean but worst pancakes I've had anywhere. I also order a jasmine matcha latte and although the matcha has a good color you got no hint of matcha the drink itself was to sweet for my liking and tasted like fruity pepples cereal milk. I wasn't impressed with the matcha so I ordered a latte but that was even worse than the matcha. The coffee tasted very bitter and grainy. We left most of what we ordered there even my drinks only thing we finished was the burrito. I'm really not try to bash this place I really wish I were writing a spectacular review especially bc the place is really nice but it's not the place to go for food or matcha and coffee if you're really particular about how your coffee and matcha taste.
