About Pandor Artisan Bakery and Café
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
This is hands down one of my favorite cafés in Old Towne Orange! The interior has such a cozy, artisan vibe that makes you want to stay all day. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly or welcoming, and the food? Absolutely delicious—I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
Had the croque madame with potatoes and my friend had the farmers omelette. To be totally honest my croque was just okay. It lacked seasoning and flair. It was very simple but the potatoes were tasty. My friends omelette was good but nothing fanciful. We liked the atmosphere and the pastries were delicious. If you get there at 9 am you will find parking on the street in front of the restaurant. Otherwise you will just have to search the public parking lots for a parking spot.
It would have gotten more stars but. I wanted the quiche Lorraine they're out of it, I asked about the soup of the day and they said it was potato so I ordered a cup of that plus we ordered the chicken crepes which were very good came with a salad which was okay,they brought out the wrong soup and it took a bit I don't know if they have to microwave it or what And then I had to wait for the potato soup but meanwhile our food came out I asked if they can hold the mushrooms they said that I couldn't that it was already mixing with the chicken, Want the potato soup came out and it was horrible I said to the girl is there supposed to be potatoes in the soup because it was like water she said I think it's pureed I said it doesn't even tastes like potato soup she says I didn't make it! I did tell her it was terrible I said it was liquid had no flavor, she didn't care instead of her saying let me give you some pastries in place of the soup or give me a refund for the soup or give me a different soup that had more flavor nothing was offered That's what you got so little stars because of your customer service and the food quality and taste. I also had asked about a chocolate croissant and I thought your prices are pretty high for what you get it would have been cheaper in a bakery,
I was so pleased to know that they had freshly baked (that day) kouign amanns! The pastry is difficult to find in bakeries so I appreciated the experience. It was larger than I am used to which was a plus, but didn’t have even moisture throughout the layers. Felt dry in some parts and perfectly flaky in others. All in all, the vibes were nice and there was a lot of art. Nice spot!
such a cute place! If there were half stars I’d give it a 4.5. The food came quick and staff was friendly. Lots of options on the menu! We loved the Romeo and Juliette crepe, the cinnamon dornut (tasted like churros!), the avocado tartine, and the cold brew. Presentation of food was great!nnamon
