50 Best Bakeries near Aliso Viejo

“Had a great experience at Saffron Bakery. Everything was fresh, buttery, and beautifully made. The pastries had perfect flaky layers, rich flavor, and looked just as good as they tasted. The pistachio pastry and chocolate croissant were especially amazing.

You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and put care into their baking. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere too. Definitely one of the best bakeries I’ve tried in the area, highly recommend!“

“I ordered on the app and requested my Irish cream be told a sweet bed time story. They asked what story to tell it. I said hopefully something Irish. My coffee has never tasted so sweet.

To the sweet man sorting pasteries this morning thank you for treating my coffee so kindly“

“Been here a couple times and their cinnamon rolls (especially when fresh out the oven) are UNREAL! Friendly staff and I appreciate how transparent they are with how much time is left for certain pastries. The new hours also help too, was nice to not come in with a huge line out the door. Thank you Kian and team!!“

“excellent boston crème and hojicha donut. best in OC and maybe in all of California. Every time I stop by this plaza I will make sure to stop by and support this locally owned business. The cashier was a sweet lady who needs our support!!!“

“Highly recommended especially in making a customized cake. Thank you Samira for copying everything what my grandson’s wished design. And also the cake was delicious“

“The food is all amazing - family favorites are the Bacon Quiche (it goes fast), the pasta salad and the lavender lattes!😍“

“I recomend her cake!! we love what she created for us , RV cake for my husband, it look so real and great that I did not wanted to cut it. thank you“

“If you have not visited this Heidelberg Pastry Shop in Laguna Hills, you are cheating yourself of a better life.“

“I love how this location hardly ever runs out of their flavors and special cookies of the week. If you ever run into that problem at different locations, I guarantee you’ll find it at this one. These cookies are delicious and they taste amazing! My favorite is a pink sugar cookie“

“The associate was friendly and very good at explaining everything. Regardless of your cookie selection, you cannot make a poor choice, as each flavor is exceptionally delicious and generously sized. We all shared each cookie so that we could sample every flavor.“

“Best French pastries and bread anywhere! This place is amazing and the staff and owner are nothing less than exceptional.“

“I’ve been coming here for years and this is my favorite location out of most of the Irvine ones. I always come in the morning for my vanilla oat late. I can count on my drink being made perfectly if I see Josiah or Koleen and the new worker Roshane. This place is always very clean and the workers are super friendly. Will continue my ritual for as long as possible.“

“i really like crumbl!! i would totally give this 5 stars but this specific one though is closest to my house and they have not done any special hometown picks or fun features that other crumbls do through the app. i have been waiting to see some fun hometown picks for the RSM location but sadly i only see Foothill Ranch doing it. Compared to Foothill Ranch, the RSM crumbl customer service is mediocre, as no one seems like they want to be working there however the cookies are great nonetheless i just hope i start seeing more fun stuff in the app for the RSM location!!“

“I visited this store for the first time on March 5. Sam greeted me and immediately built rapport, making me feel so comfortable. I hope his manager realizes what a great employee he is. After I'd ordered my sandwich, he asked if it was my first time there, and he offered me a free pastry of my choice. How exciting! I chose the item that looks like a Napoleon, but the layers are not made of puff pastry (which was disappointing). The cream was delicious, and I enjoyed it immensely. It just wasn't as light an fluffy as I imagined it would be. And attempting to cut into it resulted in a squished dessert.

The vegetarian sandwich was one of those sandwiches that defies the ability to eat it like a regular sandwich. It was a roll so stuffed with veggies and a yummy pistachio sauce (I added fresh mozzarella for protein), I'd have had to unhinge my jaw to take a bite out of it. Since I was eating in public, I chose to be a bit more civilized. ;) I managed.

I highly recommend this place, and 'll definitely be going back. Thank you!“

“This is hands down the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever had. It’s as close to traditional bread you will ever find. Unfortunately I don’t live close to her locations but it’s absolutely worth the drive! Highly recommend!!!“

“Very delicious croffle ???????????????“

“I love the Savour Pastry shop under the new ownership. I love the quality and taste of their products tremendously. My favorite items on the menu are Almond Croissant, Cream Broiler and Almond Cake plus all the rest of the pastry they make. I take their pastry to all my friends and to every gathering that I am invited to. I am so glad to support a local business, which is providing quality food and excellent services.“

“These cookies are amazing and best in Orange County. We got an assortment of 4 cookies in a bright pink box that the family loved as a desert treat after dinner. They had chocolate chip and frosting and sprinkles on their cookies.Love this place with great service as well.“

“The best around, the bread is so fresh with a crunchy crust.“

“A proper French bakery right on PCH is such a gift to this town. The croissants are legitimately incredible — shatteringly crispy outside, buttery and layered inside. The quiches and tarts look like they belong in a Paris pastry case. When I'm meeting clients for a morning coffee before touring SC homes, this is my spot of choice now. It's charming, relaxed, and sets a great tone for the day. Highly recommend.“

“I mean this with full conviction- these were the best donuts I’ve ever had. Fluffy, perfect amount of moisture, and spectacular overall flavor and texture. And to make it better- the woman who seems to run the place and the boy at the counter were super nice and totally made my day with friendliness. This is the spot!!! I got the cronut and the blueberry cake“

“Came here a few weeks ago with my little one, was purchasing a couple of donuts, a bottle of milk and a can of Coke. I didn’t realize they didn’t accept Discover cards, only Visa and Mastercard if I’m not mistaken. Long story short, my card declined and a sweet, older woman working that morning said I could leave my name and number and take my items, so long as I came back and paid what I owed. Of course I went back during my lunch break that very same day to get some cash and headed straight to the donut shop to pay my total. The kind lady didn’t have to do that, she could’ve just said “sorry, come back next time”, but she saw my babygirl with me and said she couldn’t let us leave without our treats ❤‍🩹 thank you so much for your trust and generosity. I so wish I would’ve asked for her name. Everyone and anyone in the Mission Viejo area, do yourself a favor and support this amazing local business 💕 Will keep coming back every week 🫶🏼“

“I have had many of Shadi’s cakes for different occasions and celebration; I have to say, they are all so delicious and mouthwatering. Her apple Tart Tatin is to die for! Her cheese cakes are out of this world! Especially her Mars cheese cake is absolutely one of a kind. You have to try it to believe how delicious they are. Banana lovers, you must try her chocolate chip banana cake! It’s so yummy 🤤 Also as a person Shadi is as sweet or I should say truthfully sweeter than her Sweets 😉 She is always smiling and so pleasant to work with. You have a double advantage , not only you get a beautifully decorated cake it’s also super yummy and delicious that you have to fight over the crumbs! I highly recommend her to everyone!“

“Loved this place! Sad that I’m not from here, I would come here everyday. Farmers cheese pancakes were delicious and raf coffee was really good. Staff is also very nice and happy to help, they explained all ingredients one by one. They definitely love what they are doing!“

“Tracy and her team have exceeded my expectations both times I've ordered custom cakes. Not only do they look amazing they taste amazing too!“

“Aside from there delicious little Bundt cakes, I wanted to provide a review on their customer service. When we realized this location was closing in 10 minutes, we were hesitant to go in because the young lady was sweeping the floor. I work in a service industry as well so I understand how 'last minute' guests can be 😉. She was quick to make eye contact with us as soon as we walked in. She also stopped cleaning right away to service us with a smile. She was friendly & patient and said we would be able to get another coupon like the one we used for my birthday if we complete a survey. Filling out this survey is less about the coupon but more about Carissa. Wonderful young lady with great work ethic and a warm demeanor. Great hire, Nothing Bundt Cakes Laguna Hills! Thanks again for consistently delicious little Bundtlets!“

“The cookies are delicious, definitely would come again. They have weekly flavors, so you never get tired of the same old cookies. I got the Benson Boone Moonbeam Ice cream cookie, and it’s amazing. My favorite cookie, however, is the original chocolate chip cookie, it’s super sweet and warm, and topped with sea salt. Luckily, the original chocolate chip is always a choice of cookies you can buy.“

“Every time I come, the staff are so friendly and helpful. I truly love & appreciate that they don’t act bugged to help you (like most cafes 😂). Also the food is delish. I’m gluten intolerant so I tried the bread cautiously…but realized none of it bothered me! 🙏“

“I simply love this place their prices are great the cake are fresh and super delicious, super professional and on time foe delivery. I highly recommend this bakery if you want a delicious fresh beautiful cake this is definitely the place. Thank you Simply Cakes and cupcakes for making our beautiful retirement cake. 🤩“

“Loved their onion soup and their apple tart Ala mode“

“Omg! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. Came to kaiser for a doc app and was looking for donuts. Well, I now found my new breakfast burrito place. First bite melted in my mouth. The eggs are fluffy and have a great flavor. The tortilla is soft. Im not one for cheese on my food. But the cheese they use is also soft and melts right into the burrito. The salsa is a must to add onto before a bit. My new spot when I’m in the area 😍“

“I am so pleased with the cookies and mini cupcakes for our family baby shower today. The Winnie the Pooh themed treats were not only beautiful, but delicious as well.“

“Macaron Land is hands down one of the best places for macarons! Everything tastes incredibly fresh, the flavors are unique and perfectly balanced, and the presentation is beautiful. You can really feel the love and care in every bite. Highly recommend to anyone who wants premium, delicious treats“

“Why hasn't anyone talked about this hidden gem. The staff is so friendly reminded me of my own family. So sweet and friendly. They have baked fresh breads and desserts. Their spinach and feta with garlic pastry was so delicious I didn't even take a photo. Cause it was so addicting. It melted in my mouth and every part of this pastry was so worth it. This place is very clean and cozy. If your looking to try something new or something familiar and with great customer service come here.“

“First time visitor for last minute birthday treats. The selection was beautiful, pastries and donuts were amazing! But my review is for the service… There was a thoughtful young man who noticed I had my baby in one hand so he helped gather what I wanted instead of making me fumble with the display cases and then walked my coffees out to the car. He single-handedly made this mom feel seen and supported. If you’re looking for delicious pastries and people who care - this is the place ◡̈

PS - ham and cheese croissant is 10/10“

“The cake had a simple appearance, and she could only write “Happy Birthday” in brown, which I found odd. I was initially a bit concerned—it was a thin, two-layer 8” cake for $50. However, the taste more than made up for it! It wasn’t overly sweet, and the strawberry filling with whipped cream frosting was absolutely delicious. I would absolutely order another cake from Bye Bye Sugar!!!👍🏾“

“Our weekly treat for the grandkids this summer. They have so many delicious items and coffee is excellent and not overly pricy. I’m hooked on their matcha Perfect little gem for downtown San Juan“

“we bought several desserts for Christmas parties for all of our gluten free, vegan abd soy free family members. Everything Giselle made was so delicious and beautiful!!!! I highly recommend and congrats her abd her husband on their wonderful bakery and services to our community. thank you!“

“I ordered two cream pans and let me say it doesn't disappoint. So if you love creamy custard filling folded into buttery bread that is made with TLC, then Hamada-Ya Bakery is the place to go. Now let's say you eat one and save the other for the next day, I suggest refrigerating it. Then when you want to eat it take it out of the fridge and let it sit until it's room temperature. Your taste buds are going to be very happy you did. ?“

“Inspired from Japanese castella cake. The cake is very soft and pillowy. I got the cheese flavor and it was really good. Not very sweet. Very Japanese taste. Price is also not bad. I paid $13.50.

From five stars to three stars.
April 24, 2026. They sold us overbaked cake. It was burnt and dry. I was so excited to have it again only to be disappointed when I took a bite.

Store apologised and offered us a free cake. I appreciate businesses that accept their mistakes. I came back to get the cake. The owner also offered me thru Instagram a free drink. Very nice gesture of them. I will be a regular customer.“

“I absolutely love bagel shack in Irvine. They are so nice and get my bagel right every single time they’re so fresh and delicious. I go at least twice a week and I am never unsatisfied with their service and the taste of their delicious bagels.“

“Paderia Bakehouse is an absolute gem in Irvine! Every visit is a treat, but my absolute go-to order is their horchata latte paired with their famous egg tarts--they are incredibly flaky, creamy, and easily some of the best egg tarts you will ever have. We also tried the banana pudding, which was a little on the sweeter side, but still completely amazing with a wonderful texture. Everything here is high quality and delicious, making it well worth a five-star rating! Not much seating inside the actual place, but lots of outdoor seating in the plaza.“

“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!“

“Highly recommend Sweet N Rush. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“My granddaughter said it was fantastic! She got 6 different flavors and wow she stated they all was delicious....“

“Finally got to try one of their famous cakes. Delicious!!!! Had an online order and we were instantly greeted by a very nice young man working there, our cake was ready and we were good to go within a minute. I love the small business vibe they have and the enthusiasm from the employees. Will be back!“

“My wife told me she wanted a chocolate raspberry cake for her birthday, I looked around for inspiration and a bakery that could deliver.

And I came across this place! Butter+Cream bakery was very helpful in making my wife's cake dream come true! I also spoke with the owner and they were kind enough to create a 'special request' that I made. I'm definitely coming back here for her birthday, our anniversary, and whatever other occasion that gives you an excuse to eat cake!“

“Quality ingredients. Brilliant recipe. Small local business. Incredible! You MUST give them a try - you won't be disappointed!Still finding myself amazed at how much I love these little delectable cookies! I have been a repeat customer ever since I stumbled upon these unassuming little cookie bites!I was casually offered a cookie with a quiet mention that they were vegan, and thinking the worst of it, was actually MIND BLOWN! Mind you that these cookies have a different texture/crumb than your traditional cookie (these are not crispy/dry crumb cookies - they're closer to the texture of a brownie maybe?) , but the flavor and chew and proportion of each cookie really packs a satisfying bite of delicious-full-YUM!I've enjoyed all the different flavors and they are perfectly sweet and balanced. I especially love that there's variety of flavor with chocolate chips/candies to add texture/crunch. I LOVE these cookies and often gift them and bring them to office gatherings which turn out to be pretty popular!Nevermind that they're vegan or gluten free! No one in my house is vegan or vegetarian or gluten free and we thoroughly enjoy them as a treat. (They also have more protein than a regular cookie thanks to the nut-based ingredients so I don't feel guilty AT ALL! )My favorites:Cardamom Cashew (reminds me of my favorite Indian dessert, these are often the softer cookies of the bunch))Dark Chocolate Crispy Gems (like chocolate chips but with dark chocolate m&m type candies)Chocolate ChipFun to mix your bites and make a cookie PBJ!Peanut Butter Choco Chip & Strawberry Preserves - and make it darker with a bite of the Chocolate Chocolate chip!DELIVERY & PICK UP:Delivery came in what I think was 1 day.Curbside pick up was easy and quick!Communication was prompt and friendly!“

“We indulged in the delightful treats of strawberry croissant and tiramisu croissant. The service was exceptionally friendly and kind. We are definitely looking forward to returning. :-)“
