So here's a long overdue addition to my coffee shop series.
Champagne French Bakery and Cafe.
I discovered this little gem in newport this morning after dropping off some homework at school and seeking a quiet place to read. Just two doors down from Starbucks, the poor place was virtually empty, though infinitely better.
I've been obsessed with finding the perfect pain du chocolat, thanks to experience parisienne. So I ordered that delicious flaky croissant filled with belgian dark chocolate along with a cup of peppermint tea. I should have asked for it to be warmed up, but it was still wonderful, and I was pleasantly surprised by their $1.99 combo: a croissant and tea/coffee! Purely by coincidence!
The shop had a big glass case filled with their pastries and treats, a wall full of mirrors and a sandwich menu that I'm dying to go back and try.
It appears they've got locations all over coastal southern california (including TWO at south coast plaza alone!), plus marin county!
Next time I promise I'll take pictures!
