50 Best Bakeries near Laguna Beach

“Stopped by before a trip to the beach. The staff was very friendly and they had a decent selection of drink and fresh baked goods. To my surprise they had pho, which I shared with my wife. The broth was nothing memorable, and the rice noodles were excellent. A good addition to the herb plate would have been some mint and additional beansprouts.“

“Delicious menu and excellent staff! I’ve visited this Rye Goods location a few times and can’t say anything negative. The coffee is fantastic—which is hard to find in this area. My favorite menu item is the “Seasonal Fruit Ricotta Toast,” always prepared to perfection. Definitely worth a visit!“

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

“I ordered the Moulin Salad - chicken and pesto- excellent!“

“Love, Love, Love ! ........“

“I have to say, this is the most extraordinary breakfast I've ever experienced. Each dish was incredibly unique, bursting with flavors that melded together beautifully. The presentation was stunning, and it was evident that a lot of thought went into creating this meal. From the perfectly cooked eggs to the artisanal bread and the fresh, vibrant fruits, every bite was a delightful surprise. The combination of tastes and textures was simply incredible, making it not just a meal, but a culinary adventure.“

“I visited Diotoma on a Friday around 11:30 AM. The parking lot is quite small so I had to circle for parking and there was a line. However, don't let that deter you from coming. There were so many delicious looking pastries, cookies, and cakes (I also saw some people had sandwiches). I had to wait about 20 min to order pastries and another 10 min or so for a coffee drink. So the entire visit took about 30 min. We got the pain cookie (pain suisse filled with brown butter butterscotch cookie dough), Korean salt bread, and mixed berry custard tart. The mixed berry custard tart is make with the same croissant dough so it's crispy and flakey, but it softens quickly due to the custard filling. However, the custard filling is generous and very silky. The Korean salt bread was a simple savory loaf. For me, the star was the pain cookie. The cookie dough was appropriately soft and chocolatey and the pastry was really flakey and crispy. I would go back just for the pain cookie but there was so many other interesting looking pastries. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you like pastries. I will definitely be swinging by here again the next time I'm in the area.“

“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“

“Love our first time here this morning. Better croissants than we had in France and we thought they were good! Outstanding quality and you can tell everything is made with 100% pride, care, compassion and love. Will definitely go back more than once! Goodbye diet!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

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

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

“Without a doubt… The Flaky Apple Pie Co is the best find ever!! I have ordered all of the different pies and each one is more delicious than the last !! The most wonderful pie was the last one I bought…. The most unbelievable FRESH PEACH Pie!!! Best I have ever had!!! Thank you Brooke and her team! We will be friends forever!❤️“

“Oh Em Gee!!!! This is thee cutest little place, the ordering system is super efficient, there were a ton of customers placing orders with no wait. The GIANORMOUS, warm cookies come out quickly and the boxes are so freaking cute. Definitely worth a stop, be sure to bring your sweet tooth ??“

“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.“

“KELSIE KELSIE KELSIE....I had to take the time to give my sincere and true appreciation for one of the workers at this location. She always has the best energy and her smile is soo warming. Tonight she turned out what was going to be a disaster birthday for my roommate and totally turned it around for me. They were out of the deliciously AMAZING Oreo Cream Pie Cookie ( IF YOU HAVNT HAD THIS YOU'RE TOTALLY MISSING OUT) for the day and it was 20 mins from closing. She went above and beyond to make sure I left with enough Oreo Pies and then some to complete my birthday desert gift and I cant THANK HER ENOUG!!! KELSIE THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT EMPLOYEE AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR ME TONIGHT. ITS EMPLOYEES LIKE YOU THAT WILL KEEP ME COMING TO THIS STORE ONLY AND TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT YOUR LOCATION. I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR KINDNESS AND HARD WORK 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽“

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

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

“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!“

“We chose Penelope's Perfection to make something really special for my Mom's 100th Birthday party. The cake was spectacular. Everything & more we could have asked for. Highly recommended!“

“Love these cookies“

“I am new to ordering from Crumbl, but I tend to preorder my cookies to have on the weekend as a little treat to an otherwise strict diet during the week. Crumbl of Foothill Ranch has never let me down. Each order is easy to place, I get updates as my order date gets closer, and everything always arrives on time, in tact, just as described, and packaged with care. Can always count on the Foothill location for my Saturday Snack fix!!“

“Poul’s Bakery took our breath away , we couldn’t believe the cake we have taken pictures from we have searched the internet images and sent it to her the custom cake we wanted , and not only she made the identical one ,the taste was so delicious actually finished the entire slice, it’s rare for me to eat the whole slice, as many cakes are made with to much sugar , it overwhelms to entire cakes other ingredients, this was so perfectly balanced ,and l asked for second , so did few guests , we as host wished we ordered the bigger size , we don’t like the buttercream topping due to its excessive sugar , we ordered her soexisl topping , while you others ask no buttercream but we want Poul’s Bakery special topping we heard so much about it , sorry l don’t remember what it was called . My bad ,this Poul’s baker we also find out been around for decades as she is the second owner but uses the same original recipes. She said it’s a company secret Lol, we respect that Try Poul’s Bakery , it won’t s sidelong you and ask for a sample of their fantastic cannolis . And on the spot in events she actually make the cake front of your guests . We never tried that but people are ranting about it and went at viral with millions of views and shared ,,we saw it in her website . Poul’s Bakery didn’t disappoint us , give them a try Best from Goldstein family“

“Genuinely needed to come on here and leave a review. I have been having the worst couple days of my life with my grandpa being in the hospital. From my first interaction it was amazing service. Ryan helped me out and she was so kind, she was very comforting and so so kind genuinely the best experience I’ve had in a store in a long time. I love chaiupan and this just set my loyalty to them in stone forever. I really hope Ryan gets some sort of recognition and a raise she genuinely is the epitome of great customer service. 10/10 must recommend, great service and pastries! Thank you“

“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.“

“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. 🤩“

“The baked goods here are so delicious and the woman behind the treats was so lovely herself! I found this place after an appointment in the area, got four different macarons and one of the honey cakes. Wow. Insane, everything. The strawberry raspberry and the Dubai flavor macarons were far and away my favorite, but everything was insane. The honey cake was amazing too, very different from anything I’ve had yet but loved it. Will be back again.“

“We loved this place so much we already have made plans to go back. The food was delicious and portion size is great. Friendly crew, helpful and great service. You can also purchase frozen pies to take home which we will be doing“

“Anytime I visit Southern California, I always take time out to go here. The staff were friendly and the chocolate banana is amazing, and so is the hippo cookie. The merch is a good price, I would recommend this dessert/bakery shop to my friends and anyone who hasn't been there yet. Mouse pads are $7 and a coaster is $5.“

“Wonderful place in Laguna Hills. The “Taste of Persia” truly deserves it’s name because when you visit the store with the quality of their service not only you feel like you have stepped in the heart of Iran but also when you taste their bread you would completely agree with me that they absolutely have the best bread quality in Orange County. Amazing people, wonderful taste, phenomenal vibes! Thanks “Taste of Persia Bakery” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for being so great ❤️“

“Don’t really know the ambience and service yet I’m excited to check it out in person, usually order online and for delivery and they always deliver! Dessert worth the calories and sugar intake. They’re beautifully packaged as well every delivery I get.“

“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 😍“

“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!!!👍🏾“

“Today its raining cats and dogs for socal. IYKYK and we were in a mood for something warm and sweet, we looked up places near us and drove 45 min just to try their cinnamon rolls, we were pleasantly surprised by their variety of baked goods. Maddy the owner was there and she was very pleasant and kind 🤍. This establishment definitely gained a new customer. Wish they were closer but definitely worth my drive!“

“Macaroon Land makes the best homemade macarons!
Each one is fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. You can really taste the love and care in every bite. Creative flavors, beautiful presentation, and great communication—highly recommend!“

“Thank you for designing my Mom’s beautiful cake for her 100th birthday. It was delicious and the cookies were a hit! Especially the snickerdoodles!“

“IF YOURE CRAVING DONUTS COME HERE!!

Classic donut shop like what I grew up with in LA, but sooo much better because they’re open until 7 and have a drive through. I’ve been earlier in the day and right before close and some how the donuts still taste fluffy and delicious!

The owners are so nice and you can tell they truly care about the quality for their customers!! The glaze is consistent and creamy on all the donuts! The donuts them selves are moist and soft and never dry!

We love coming here and highly recommend! Best maple bar and old fashioned.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is my go-to spot on the way to work! The staff are always polite, friendly, and greet you with a smile. Great selection of drinks and cakes, and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite places to stop by for a quick treat or coffee.“

“These are the best Balboa Bars on the island. They use premium chocolate that’s a mix of milk and dark chocolate, and they have premium ice cream. The result is that these are a lot better than the Balboa bars at Dad’s Original and the Original Frozen Banana Stand. We have tried those other places many times and they’re also very good. But if you’re ready to graduate, walk a few steps down to Too Sweet - you won’t regret it.“

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

“I recently visited a bakery and tried their croissants and brownies. Both were incredibly moist and flavorful. The croissants had a perfect flaky texture, and the brownies were rich and decadent. Highly recommend this place“

“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!“

“My friend introduced me to Crumbl, and now I’m addicted! The trio of mini cookies is pure genius, allowing me to indulge in a whirlwind of their scrumptious, rotating flavors. Each visit feels like a new, delicious adventure for my taste buds!“

“Wonderful pastrys and bread. The staff is very nice.“

“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“

“friendly individuals and very taste treats.“
