Chez Naz Bakery

I love their pastries, I’m French and I can tell you the butter croissants and the chocolate croissants taste very good! Also a good place for lunch time! The owner is nice!

The best Chocolate Croissant in Orange County! 10x better than Starbucks! Their Napoleon is NOT good. The owner is very nice, but if he is not there the service is just OK. The lemon bar is very good. A while back the owner gave me a free pastry. That was very thoughtful and a nice touch to give the customer.

I work nearby, and occasionally pick up lunch here. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. I love the chicken salad salad and the greek salad. I’ve only tried one sandwich, but it was good. So far I’ve resisted the baked goods, but they look amazing!

Best breakfast burritos in the area. I usually call in on my way to work and pick it up. Burritos are customizable and large! Sometimes I make it two meals. So yummy!

While the food and service quality has been consistently good, the wait time at lunch has been subpar. Placed an order for a ½ sandwich and ½ salad, and it took 15 – 20 minutes to walk out the door.

After you all at Unilocal did a spotlight on this place, I put it in my outlook calendar to try it out for lunch by the weekend. Today was the day. Arrived at 10:30am before the lunch rush. First impressions of the restaurant were off-​putting. It was super hot in there – No A/​c running, the décor was old and cluttered and whenever I see this combo in a restaurant I jump to the conclusion that the place is dirty and the owners are cheap.
Ok on to my favorite part of the experience: The guy behind the counter. WOW – I do not know how he does it. This guy is about 20. He was nice and genuine BUT Totally inept at this job. He got distracted and befuddled with my entire order transaction. He asked me 3 separate times what i wanted to order, after writing it down after each time. He knew nothing about the taste or ingredients of one of the cookies in their display case and when the phone rang – holy batman hell he went into panic mode. All this service deli counter stuff is too much for him. He belongs behind a video game or writing computer code in a think tank. Bless him. He must be a relative or the owner, because there is no way if I ran the place he would be out front with the customers.
The sandwich – Chicken salad sammie, looks like the picture on Unilocal and was tasty. The potato salad that accompanied it was also flavorful. The small desserts that I picked out – cheesecake squares and cookie were fresh and delicious. Will I be back – Sure why not, only in the off rush hours though – It is too painful to watch this employee service the counter when it is busy. 2 stars missing do to the hot, dated impression of the restaurant and the counter employee.

Super friendly staff and ownership; pastries are soo good, but their savory stuff is just as good. A+!!!

best chocolate croissants I have ever had and the coffee’s not bad either. I will be here again. it’s very close to the 5 and crown Valley it you need a break from traffic

Ew ew ew. This place had great reviews so I decided to try it before I went to work. My bagel was rock hard and my iced chai was just not good. I would have taken everything back if I didn’t have places to be after. I wish it was better because I’m from the east coast where these little bakery’s are what I live for, and this was the first one I’ve found locally. Disappointed? Yes. But I may lower my standards and give it a second chance.

This is a local bakery very close to my work that I love. They have really good sandwiches and breakfast burritos.

Stopped in here toward the end of the day, still a decent selection but some things were already sold out. We ordered a selection of croissants, cookies and pastry. Some were awesome, some were meh…
Cream puff– it had a weird sour taste to the cream. I thought it had gone bad in the 5 hours since we got it but my husband thought it was meant to taste that way. I’ve never had a cream puff with sour tasting cream– either way not a fan
almond croissant– OMG so amazing. Really it’s like marzipan inside with an awesome flaky croissant crust.
Shortbread cookies– ok, kind of dry
chocolate truffle– awesome, super rich though
napoleon– my husband ate this, I had one bite. It had great flavor but I thought the pastry layers were too soft. Still I’d eat this again.
The guy behind the counter was friendly and prices weren’t bad– I’d go back for some more croissants.

I love this place. Great staff, fast service. Bomb sandwiches, salads and dessert. Good prices too.

Best greek chicken salad! Work around the corner and fave spot also got everyone hooked on it!

I’m a man’s man. I don’t eat at bakeries. So, One day, tight on time, I was resigned to eat at the first place that I came across. The first thing that I noticed wandering into this place was the the quality of the pastries in the display. The first thing that came to mind was, «Wow, these guys are obviously not doing this to make a couple of dollars. they are doing this because it’s what they do… and apparently with a great deal of pride.»
So, the first thing that I did was order a brownie while my Philly Cheese steak was being prepared. I didn’t like the brownie much, but I could tell it was all natural ingredients, and expertly prepared. I was a pastry chef many years ago. So, I realize that me not liking something doesn’t mean that most people wouldn’t. It was so apparent that this was an establishment of rare quality, so I was already resigned to buy a shitload of pastries for the road. Then, I got my sandwich.
I have to say, being from Houston, you California guys have ripped me off just about every meal that I have had in the last month… robbery after robbery. Poor portion size, high prices, and the fact that people around here think that it’s normal blows my mind. Not here. I can’t remember the last time that I ate ½ of anything (except maybe a chicken). this sandwich crippled me. My work day was shot. My productivity had plummeted and I just wanted to sleep on a warm bosom. I am usually compelled to write reviews when I get poor service, quality or products. I have been carrying around a to-​go box for a week, just to remember the name of the place and ensure that they received a well deserved 5-​star review. Between my coworkers (whom I took each a bag of cookies) and I, we will not pass Chez Naz without eating there.

I love this place, I come here often on my lunch breaks they have great food and pastries, quiet mellow atmosphere truly a gem

This morning, I was craving some sort of bagel or pastry for breakfast but I didn’t want to go to a place that I have been before. After doing a Unilocal search and a little driving around, I found Chez Naz and was super stoked! I loved all the cute little decorations that they had inside and there were so many pastries! After a while, I ordered the jalapeño bagel as well as an almond pastry. Let me just say that they were amazing and that they hit the spot! My goal is to eventually try every single pastry that they have. I wish I lived closer but it will only make it better when I come back! :)

Chez Naz is fantastic! After traveling to Paris recently, I was in search of an OC spot that could replicate all the amazing French pastries I ate. Through a Unilocal search, I found Chez Naz and have been nothing but impressed by the quality of their food. I called in on a Friday afternoon, and asked if they would be able to accommodate my request of a dozen chocolate eclairs that I would like to pick up on Saturday. He said yes — that it would be no problem. On Saturday I showed up and told him I had called yesterday. Without missing a beat, he went to the back and returned with a box with a dozen eclairs he had packaged up for me. I was not expecting this as I did not officially place an order! He also threw in a blueberry tart for me, and did not charge me for it. I have returned a few times since then, and have not been disappointed! I cannot wait to try other items from this bakery. Keep up the great work!

This is one if my few go-​to places for lunch. My absolute favorite soup is the lentil. In the fresh baked sourdough bread bowl of course! In a year of coming here, every meal has been scrumptious!

Came here this morning for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a quaint little bakery that has a very homey vibe to it. Everything is pretty well priced if not cheaper than other bakeries in the area.
This morning I got a jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese. The bagel itself was great and one of the best I’ve had! I gave it four stars though because I felt the cream cheese wasn’t all that special. If they upgrade their cream cheese, I would come here every morning to eat that bagel.
Oh and a side note: you need to spend $ 5 to use your credit card without a fee!

Just bought the almond croissant that people were raving about in their reviews. It is a VERY buttery croissant, filled with almond paste. Good, extremely buttery, a touch of saltiness (a good thing to counteract the slightly sweet almond filling).
Yummy and only $ 1.80 for the croissant.
Other items: raisin cinnamon roll, apple&walnut cinnamon roll, raspberry croissants, cream cheese croissants, butter poppy croissant $ 1.80
banana, bran, poppyseed, and some other muffin $ 1.45
Cookies $ 0.75
Mini cheesecakes, mousse cakes, eclairs, cream puffs, bagels, cheese bagels
Sandwiches, quiches, salads
Coffees, teas
Freshly sliced sandwich breads (about $ 4.75 or something) and rolls
Only thing is that the cashier today didn’t look at all pleased to be working there today or selling me a croissant. A little smile or something, please? Also, can get pretty hot inside in the afternoon.
