14 Best Bakeries in Mission Viejo

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🤩“

“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!“

“My first love is ice cream.. but key lime pie is my second. And how amazing to find a key lime pie that's like a combo of the two!! Perfectly sweet with just the the amount of tang, and a cool firm texture that will actually amaze you on the first bite. And that doesn't even mention their cookies... of almost every type. My 6-yr-old will forego any other dessert for their cookies. And, frankly, they have the best fruit pies around. The crust, the filling... these people care about every last detail. Go get one.

Kid-friendliness: Best cookies ever.“

“I had been here before ..but you really need an HR or so to see all the product .. specially if you are not familiar with Persian cuisine. They have Soo many spices and so many things I've never even knew existed. Their produce had some good prices and they also have bulk items such as 40lb bags of rice and beans..flours and dried fruit. They also make bread and cakes.“

“friendly individuals and very taste treats.“

“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.“

“😁Delicious cookies - this company donated cookies to an event I attended last Friday. They are thick, just a quarter of a cookie is all you need. I will definitely buy them as soon as the store opens for my Broker Previews!“

“Never been to the actual store, we have only ordered their cup cakes through Doordash!I am actually not a huge fan of cupcakes, I rarely eat them, but I really do like the Lemon Cup Cake. The cream or frosting or whatever it is, is not over done, not overpowering the actual cup cake. It is just enough!Every time we have ordered from here, our order has been accurate. Service is quick, order ready for pick up fast.“

“I eat here often. Their sandwiches & cookies are very tasty and everyone here is always super friendly and always smiling!“

“Excellent art-inspired bakery treats. Sean (sp?) and his team’s hospitality is top-shelf.“

“The best thing about this place is that it opens super early before anything else is available, before 7am. There is a big donut selection, and also a decent selection of savory breakfast items. Food was fine. Service was fine. There is plenty of parking in the morning.“

“We visited Pandora Bakery for breakfast and overall had a very pleasant experience. I ordered the Lebanese breakfast (three eggs, well done, served with a fresh salad, cream cheese, and a baguette) and my wife had the Eggs Benedict. Both were very satisfying. The eggs in my meal were cooked exactly how I like them, and the baguette was fresh and tasty — I ate every bite. Her Benedict was rich and well balanced, and complemented nicely by her hazelnut latte.

I also had an iced coffee, which was smooth and refreshing — a great pick-me-up to start the morning.

Service was quite fast. Everything came out promptly, which we appreciated given how busy the place felt. The one thing I wondered about was the coffee: we had to pick up our own drinks. That felt a little off to me, since when you're tipping it would feel more natural for everything to be served. It wouldn’t change how much we enjoyed the food, but it is something that might affect the customer experience for some.

All in all, we really enjoyed our breakfast at Pandora Bakery. The food was fresh, delicious, and well executed, and the coffee was very good. Thank you for a lovely morning — we’ll definitely be back.“
