43 Best Bakeries in Irvine

“the black sesame mochidonut i got was cute and delicious, and the staff were all super nice! the sanitary conditions seem great, and i’ll definitely come back again sometime in the future. i’ll try a different flavor next time to see how it differs!“

“This is one of my favorite bakeries!
The best part is that they offer not only pastries but also savory options like sandwiches and non-sweet baked goods.

You can always grab a slice or even a whole cake here, and they even sell birthday candles, which is a nice touch.

The only downside is that the sign at this location isn’t lit, so at first glance, it might seem like it’s closed.“

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

“One of the best choco chip cookies in OC - close to Levain style cookies. Paderia's choco chip is quite hefty, decadent and sweet, so it's perf for sharing or for 1-2 bites at a time! I prefer the one w/ walnuts. Other desserts are delish too, esp hte blueberry lemon cheesecake.. or the horchata drink!“

“The coffee here is surprisingly better than anything else. I think they use Lavazza coffee beans, but latte is fine too. The latte's nutty flavor seems a little uneven, but I think it's much better than Starbucks because it's easy to drink.“

“Cheryl's challah bread is amazingly delicious and she delivered it to me on a Saturday so I could bring some up to my mom who I visited on Sunday. What a treat!“

“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. ?“

“Incredible food and customer service, especially with Brianna. She was kind, positive, took care of my needs well, and made me feel truly welcome. She should get a salary raise because she certainly deserves one. The store has a very inviting and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere with beautiful interior design. I would recommend this a must visit to anyone looking to get an exceptional dessert experience.“

“UPDATE: TAP TO PAY LIIIIVES

This place is super convenient and the staff is always extremely friendly and helpful. My only qualm with this place is simply not having a self-checkout area, and they definitely have the space for that, which you can see as soon as you enter the store. In addition, they could do better with their produce. But I often go to Ralph's simply because they have self-check out. Oh and if you're a company doing any kind of business and not doing tap-to-pay, seriously?“

“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 😍“

“This was our first time trying Japanese cheesecake and it was certainly a delicious experience. We ordered the cheesecake and creamtella. If you are ever in the mood for a dessert that is light, fluffy, and not too sweet, this will hit the spot.“

“I had an amazing experience at this cookie shop, and a huge part of that was thanks to Joel! From the moment I walked in, he greeted me with a warm smile and took the time to walk me through all the flavors. I wasn’t sure what to get, but he gave great recommendations and even let me sample a couple of options. The cookies themselves were absolutely perfect—soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. Joel’s friendly attitude and knowledge made the whole experience even better. If you visit, make sure to ask for Joel—he truly goes above and beyond to make sure you leave happy!“

“Great Gelato 🍧, and pastries 🥮!“

“I have visited JJ Bakery Irvine over a decade. I love their Traditional Taiwanese breads , pastries and sweets. Here are a few items that I would recommend (in pic order)

1. Egg Tart: I always purchase two egg tarts when I have the chance. But, it got sold out quickly.
2.Taro Pastry: Real taro paste, not too sweet. It is very delicious

3. Custard Bread: One of the traditional Taiwanese breads.
4. Scallion Bread: It is savory. Sometimes, I like savory breakfast.

5. Flan: Flan is located at the refrigerator near the entrance. It is dense instead of watery. I love it.

6. Almond Cookie:Perfect snack while I am watching Netflix.( It won’t last 20 minutes though)“

“They are beyond and exceedingly a top notch Bakery. They filled a large perder of assorted baked goods during one of the hardest times of our life. The love that went into every pastry was greatly appreciated. It was such a great way to thank the over 200 guests in attendance to my fathers final farewell. We saw people embody dads generosity by sharing such decadent treats. To us as a family, we were voting grateful for that special touch that Crema Artisan Bakery added in celebrating our patriarchal great white oak of the family. I highly recommend them for any and all special occasions ?“

“I had no idea this was located inside H Mart! I initially came for groceries, but I decided to enjoy some Korean food and treat myself to some drinks hehe.

Parking: There’s a large parking lot, but finding a spot can be a hit or miss. This lot is always busy.

Ambiance/Environment: This Tous Les Jours is more of a mini store since they don’t have much space to work with. They still have a cute set up displaying all their cakes and some bakery items.

Service: Workers were quick & efficient. Throughput took about 8 min after ordering.

Drinks: Don’t forget to scan your points! We only ordered drinks this time since they didn’t have all their bakery items we liked. I got their new Red Velvet Bliss and Dark Chocolate Mocha. The red velvet taste definitely came through. It wasn’t too overwhelmingly sweet. The dark chocolate mocha was a bit bitter for my liking. I mean dark chocolate is bitter, so I wasn’t surprised lol.“

“Great selection of holiday cookies. Pretty good selection of cakes. The person who writes happy birthday on the cakes wasn’t there. My mom is old school and likes writing on her cake. Now adays everyone uses those toppers so I get why it’s not as important for them to have someone there who can write. Maybe teach everyone who works at the bakery how to write on the cakes anyway incase. Super friendly and great customer service.“

“I love this place and their coffee. The pastries are always freshly baked and yummy! Please open one in Chicago“

“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!“

“I saw their new mango supreme cake. I bought it, tried at home and it was utmost impressively delicious. Made my day, the mango was tasty. And oh yeah the cashier myca was very professional and welcoming. Lastly the cashier suggested to try the Uber Spanish bread it was excellent and yummy. Definitely coming back“

“Delicious! The pastry are fresh & authentic.“

“Staff is normally friendly. Food is good. Drinks are good. ......Today was not a good day for them. The lady inside decided she needed to yell at someone and decided to yell at my wife. There is a 3 person minimum in the Store, which I understand. We both went inside and there were two people in there. They lady decided that the best customer service approach was to Yell rudely at my wife "THERE ARE ONLY 3 PEOPLE ALLOWED AT A TIME, YOU NEED TO GET OUT.". .....We both went out and we came back in and while checking out, I told the lady she was very rude to my wife. She decided again the best Customer Service approach was to argue and yell at me " THERE ARE ONLY 3 PEOPLE ALLOWED AT A TIME." This one BAD BOBA won't deter us from coming back, because we have always had good experiences there. She just needs to be called out on this. I am pretty sure she is the supervisor for the morning.“

“Conveniently located walking distance to the UCI campus apartments. Clean well stocked store. We used self checkout since the single cashier line open was long. Meat/ seafood counter department was smelly in our visit had 930pm

Clean restroom. Well lit clean parking lot.“

“Seriously this place is amazing. The bread is so fresh and delicious. Everything I have had has been awesome! They are very nice also. This place is extremely dangerous for people like myself that love bread and carbs. This is a must try if you are in the area. It is a hidden gem.“

“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. :-)“

“Great little spot ! The caramel coffee (iced) is just great! Loved the omelette as well ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First time at Ellie’s Table this morning (breakfast). Excellent! The baked goods are terrific and the restaurant itself is wonderfully open bright and clean in a historic house.“

“Fresh a d fun snacks. Our kids really enjoyed this fun “sip and snack” product. We got a small lemonade ($6) and the pretzels with cheese dipping sauce (almost $10). Its a little insultingly expensive at almost $16 for what it is, but for a special treat it’s worth the novelty and smiles it brings.

Vegetarian options: Its pretzels dipped in butter. So, if you’re down with butter, this place is for you!“

“I honestly love this place. The moment you walk in you smell cupcakes, and the workers always greet you as you walk in. They have IPads to order, which make it easier to see the varieties of flavors. My personal Favorite, and my friends favorite one, is the Gluten Free Red Velvet, which is delicious! Would totally recommend to come here, their cupcakes are fresh and taste delicious.“

“That one piece of donut I bought tasted amazing. However, there were two workers that got into a heated argument. I overheard the bigger guy joking about how the smaller guy’s dad left him. He didn’t like that so he attacked him but the big dude accidentally punched him hard in the chest and he passed out after a while. I am a bit concerned…“

“If you're looking for a bakery with plenty of options to choose from, Duke Bakery is the perfect spot for you. From sweet to savory, this bakery offers variety of options is simply amazing, and it's hard to pick just one item!Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful!I highly recommend trying this bakery out, you won't be disappointed!“

“Cannot go wrong with this place they serve fresh bakery Filipino goods. Best pandesal bread. Ube bread is purple yam bread which is very good they also have empanadas which are very tasty $10 minimum to use debit or credit card price for a bag of bread is about 5 bucks you cannot eat inside it's pretty much buy and take out. You can also ask wender bread comes out of the oven and they can serve it to you hot instead of a plastic bag that don't put it in the paper back Nothing like a hot bread right off the oven“

“here visiting a friend! Great place, friendly people good donuts!“

“Best clam chowder and Michael is awesome. Attentive and helpful.“

“來自台灣好吃漂亮糕點麵包“

“Been here multiple times and always loved it. I often get the zoolmia for large friends and family gatherings and they taste great - very sweet but also very similar to Indian jalebi. The folks who run the shop have always been very friendly. The items are all reasonably priced. Went most recently to get something for Mother's Day and they had a bunch of nice looking gift boxes. They're happy to tell you what's in each product and help you pick something for your taste, like if you want more snacky, less sweet. Parking lot gets crowded on weekends and I also find that the parking spaces are very tight there.“

“From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly baked pastries and the warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to offer recommendations.

I tried their croissants and pain au chocolat—both were buttery, flaky perfection. The coffee was rich and smooth, the perfect companion to their artisan baked goods. You can tell everything is made with care and high-quality ingredients.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxing brunch, Le Diplomate delivers a fantastic experience every time. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic French baking and cozy café vibes!“

“Good location lot of selection“

“Pastries ok but skip breakfast omelets. No flavor, potatoes cold and after spending over $35 for bfast for 2 they still charge $1 for hot water. Lost my breakfast business.“

“The best cookies in Egypt, and an amazing helpful team at Garden 8“

“Lady M offers a luxurious dessert experience with their beautifully crafted mille crêpes cakes. We tried the Dubai Chocolate and Amedei Chocolate Mille Crêpes, and both were absolutely delicious — the Dubai Chocolate was rich, smooth, and indulgent with a slight caramel-like depth, while the Amedei Chocolate had a bold, premium cocoa flavor layered between delicate, soft crêpes. Each bite was light yet decadent, showcasing incredible technique and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was elegant and calm, making it a perfect spot for a sweet treat or a special outing.“
