Pacific Whey is one of those places that I'm almost glad that I don't have near me because otherwise I would probably get fat stuffing my face with their food every day.

They specialize in a variety of breakfast pastries. My personal favorite is their Cinnamon Custard Danish - flaky pastry topped with a light, sweet custard and dusted with cinnamon. This danish is beyond addictive, and has become my default breakfast on my trips to Orange County.

Pacific Whey does a lot of pastries quite well. I also love their Almond Frangipane Danish with its pillowy texture and sweet almond filling. The Chocolate Almond Rugalach is a nice pick for chocolate lovers.

I even like their fat-free muffin. Most fat-free muffins are either dry, tasteless pucks or suffer from a pasty interior, but Pacific Whey's version tastes like an actual muffin - less oily than a normal muffin, but with a moist, cakey texture and full flavor.

Pacific Whey also serves breakfast items like eggs and pancakes, as well as an array of tasty sandwiches and salads. Nothing fancy, just simple food, well-prepared. This is exactly the sort of place every neighborhood needs, but is sadly quite hard to find.
