Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery

They have a $10.99 special on Shepherd's pie or Chicken pot pie that comes with caesar salad and a slice of marie's pie as desert. We ordered one each. They also served us warm corn bread as starter. The shepherd's pie was not authentic as they don't use mince beef and there was no pastry on top. Pastry crust on the chicken pot pie was thick and dried. Rather disappointing. Then we ordered apple pie and double cream blueberry pie. That redeem itself. Overall, a place supposes to be famous for pies (according to advert), it ain't so. Two people for $30, not worth the price and won't be coming back.

85 Degree Bakery Cafe in Irvine

There's always long queue inside and outside of this bakery shop in Irvine. The breads are definitely tasty but I am not sure whether it is worth queuing for 20-30 min. To avoid queuing, always good to go there around 3-4pm. You won't be able to get anything after 9:30 though as most of the stuff are gone. Also tried the chesscake, but that's thick and chessy. Stick to the breads lol.
