Our Story

A corner bakery
with intention

East 18th Cafe began with a simple conviction: that a neighborhood bakery should be a place where every loaf, pastry, and cup of coffee reflects genuine care — not convenience.

Located on East 18th Street in the heart of Costa Mesa, we bake from scratch each morning using traditional techniques and the finest ingredients. Our sourdough ferments for 48 hours. Our croissants are folded by hand. Our coffee is sourced from roasters who share our commitment to quality.

We also curate a selection of local and artisan groceries — olive oils, specialty cheeses, house-made preserves — so you can take a piece of East 18th home with you.
