Artisan by 7 Leaves and Crema Bakery

My friend visited me and I decided to take her to Artisan 7 Leaves & Crema Bakery for brunch and I'm so glad I did! They serve brunch items until 3PM, which is perfect if you're not an early riser. The place was already buzzing when we arrived, and by noon, almost every seat was taken. They've got outdoor seating, and with the gorgeous weather, sitting outside was super pleasant. We ordered their signature avocado toast, a fruit salad, the truffle pizza, and a cup of hot latte. The food did not disappoint and everything was fresh and flavorful. The staff are young, friendly, and full of energy, which adds to the laid-back and welcoming vibe. It's the kind of spot where you can easily spend a couple of hours chatting with friends or even getting some work done. If you're ever in the Fountain Valley area and looking for a chill brunch spot, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

*Update* I preordered 20 croffles and 8 Guava danishes for pickup at 7am. They were so accommodating! I totally forgot to take pictures of them, but they were all neatly packed in a box. Loved the presentation of it! The sauces were individually packed and placed in a bag. All my colleagues loved it and asked where it’s from. None of them knew about Artisan by 7 Leaves. Thank you for the amazing customer service!! ————————— Awesome place to sit and relax while enjoying some coffee and pastry! Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Some unique pastries and breakfast item made fresh daily. What’s amazing is that they sell previous day’s leftover pastries in a bag that’s discounted. This is how you know you won’t be served leftovers, but instead be served with good quality food. I’m definitely coming back!

Went for brunch on a Sunday. It's like other fast casuals, you walk in and order then they bring you the food. The staff was very gracious and friendly to us. I ordered the Parisian Benedict. It was very good. My group also tried the garlic fries and the chocolate mousse cake. Everything we had was so good.

This place is such a gem!! The food is wonderful, the coffee and tea are wonderful, and the ambiance is so cute. I ordered the breakfast burrito. It is was delicious and had a ton of bacon, and the Spanish coffee. My husband had the Thai tea, and he really enjoyed it. We will definitely be going back sometime

Wow what a great place to have breakfast or just eat your lunch . WOW, what a surprise of a menu they offer!!! Huge portions, great smell and flavor and the food looks delicious. The food and juices are as fresh as fresh can be. !!!

I always come here, the food is amazing especially the pizzas. It’s a great study spot. It’s usually pretty busy but always worth it

One of my top favorite cafes in Fountain Valley. Great atmosphere. During the week it's a nice place to sit quietly and have a latte Favorite drink: Iced Thai Green Tea Favorite pastry: Bear Claw Favorite breakfast: Eggs Benedict or Avocado Toast

Five stars all the way. PLEASE expand this concept across the US. My first visit was after 3 pm so I had a limited food choice but picked up the Chicken Pot Pie to take home for dinner - OMG - yum! The pot pie was sooooo good that all I could think about overnight was coming back for the breakfast burrito. So today I arrived early and went crazy and ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Smashed Potatoes and Strawberry Hibiscus tea . Five stars for all. Best smashed potatoes I’ve had in the country and in over twenty plus years (since the Rowing & Running Club restaurant at South Coast Plaza closed). Super crispy potatoes with a perfectly cooked soft buttery inside and grilled onions. I planned to eat half to take home but I couldn’t stop. The breakfast burrito arrived after I polished off the potatoes. Now I’m already stuffed but I can’t not try it, right? Again, yum - on par with my favorite breakfast burrito place in Brooklyn and maybe even better since it had all my favorite ingredients (you had my heart when I saw egg white mix) and I didn’t have to ask for a single alteration. The tortilla was perfectly grilled and it had fresh avocado, cheddar, onions, enough bacon for flavor but not so much to create too much guilt. I was ALMOST able to take home half. The portions are a nice size. You need only order either the burrito or the smashed potatoes but then again you’d miss out if you only came once. The only thing that could be added would be fresh pico but the hot sauce covered the basis. The atmosphere is great, it’s really nicely decorated in my opinion - it’s fresh. Note that you order at and pay at the cashier, they bring your food to the table but there’s no table service. It’s perfect for me as I don’t want table service when I come alone. There are plugs at every booth, a thoughtful modern touch. There is a drive through, unusual for a place with such high quality food & drink and a nice little patio with outdoor ceiling that is facing in the proper direction for nice shade midday. Kudos to the chef and those that came up with this menu and concept. If the company ever grows and IPOs, I’ll be buy the stock!
