There is a small chain of shops called Lee's Sandwiches, primarily in Orange County but now have branched out into the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties) as well as a couple places in Los Angeles County. They are know for their fresh baked baguettes and croissants. Their baguettes make wonderful Banh Mi sandwiches and they offer a wide variety. My favorite is the barbecued pork. They have pickled carrots, onions and a couple pieces of jalapeno as well as cilantro. (Sorry - I love cilantro in the right amount and in the right foods.) My wife prefers their croissants.
If you ever get to So Cal, look up one of their shops. Their bread is baked fresh all day long with a slight crisp to the crust and tender inside.
