Crema's Take

“Le Diplomate Bakery Cafe is a beloved neighborhood spot in Irvine where you can grab a solid sandwich on the go or linger over Italian sodas at the outdoor tables—their hummus veggie and chicken sandwiches are honest, satisfying options that won't break the bank at around $10. The casual vibe and reasonable prices make it a reliable choice for a quick weekday lunch, though longtime regulars note the quality feels less consistent than it once was, and their Vietnamese coffee leans more traditional than adventurous.”

We ordered the NY Liason and the Chicken Garlic. We used to love Le Diplomate Cafe but we aren’t sure if it’s under new management now. Either way, avoid ordering from here. Subway seems like a 5 star restaurant in comparison to this place. The chicken in the garlic chicken…
