48 Best Bakeries near Rancho Santa Margarita

“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“

“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!!“

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

“5 stars all the way! Great location, large store with bright, pleasant decor, fresh rolls and super friendly staff..what’s not to love?They’ve only just opened and seem to be extremely busy. They serve Cinnabon & Auntie Anne’s so you can get both your sweet & savory treats at the same time! Great addition to the plaza.“

“Saffron Bakery is easily the best bakery in the neighborhood. The baked goods are outstanding, especially the insanely flaky croissants, rich savory pastries, and fresh, high-quality bread made with excellent ingredients you can actually taste. Everything is baked fresh and the textures and flavors are consistently perfect.

Their breakfast and lunch options are just as good, filling, flavorful, and made with the same level of care. On top of that, the prices are incredibly fair for the quality.

The owner is genuinely kind and welcoming.“

“It’s very rare for a bakehouse to have both excellent pastries as well as delicious coffee. Diotima has one of the best and most inventive assortments of pastries I’ve had in the US. Quality rivals that of the best bakehouses in France. Support this amazing local business!! I wish they were open on Sundays too!“

“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“

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

“This was my first time ever trying Crumbl Cookies. Today only 11/6, Crumbl Cookies is offering FREE Chocolate Chip Cookie Thins for each visitor that comes in for one; no purchase necessary.

This was a great way for me to try them out for the first time. When I first walked in, I didn’t expect the place to look so clean!

It was spick and span and there were cookies laid out in front. There were two women working at the time. I didn’t catch the name of the girl I spoke to.

I came in and asked her if they were giving away FREE Cookies today and she said they were. She told me what to press on the machine to order my cookies. She wasn’t very friendly though. I placed my order she handed me my cookies and I told her this was my first visit.

Usually when I tell a business that I’m a first-time customer, they’re more open to explaining what they have, who they are, their process, etc. I don’t get that this time. I also noticed after I grabbed my cookies, she kinda spied on me in odd way as I was leaving.

As far as the cookies, I honestly didn’t expect to receive two! I give them a 3.5/5. They tasted like chocolate chip ginger cookies to me, which was good.

I may visit a Crumbl Cookies again if they have some better flavors I’d like to try and some more warming customer service.“

“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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. 🤩“

“Stopped in this morning to Royal Donuts and Burgers for a cup of hot coffee. I also ordered a ham & cheese croissant with Jalapeños and a cold orange juice. I ordered the items to go and took them home to enjoy while watching the Christmas move, Die Hard! Is it really a Christmas movie? Lol
Great customer service and recommended.“

“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 ❤️“

“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!!!👍🏾“

“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.“

“Azi at Macaroon Land was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her macarons were incredibly delicious! Moist, soft with a bite, and oh so tasty!!! She made the most beautiful macarons to match with my bridal shower theme and all my guests loved them. The flavors were incredible and the macarons melted in your mouth. I can’t wait to work with Azi again!“

“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!“

“As someone who loves to bake, these cookies are phenomenal (this visit I got the chocolate chip and marble). Usually at a lot of places the cookies are too sweet and cakey. These cookies are subtly sweet and have a great texture to them. This is a spot I’d be willing to drive to even though I’m not from the area. Will be coming back!“

“friendly individuals and very taste treats.“

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

“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.“

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

“I got a 3 leches cake this past Saturday (9/13) and let me tell you the flavor was amazing. I haven’t had a delicious and moist 3 leches cake in a long time. We would usually buy it from el Molino across the street but the past years their cakes have been super dry! It has nothing of 3 leches,
I was at the plaza where Efren’s bakery is and saw on a facebook group recommending this bakery so decided to try it out, didn’t disappoint! Our guests loved the cake as well! We devoured it!
Will definitely be coming back for more cake and try also their pan dulce!!“

“Moving to South County has definitely limited my options, but so glad that a Paris Baguette has opened a location in Ladera Ranch. The inside is so bright, airy and clean with plenty of seating options.

The pastries are clearly labeled with a short description. It's nice that they include a list of ingredients, which I find helpful for those who may have allergens that is often overlooked or just as a nice to know.

Some of our favorites have been palmier, milk bread, fruit tart and egg tarts. For savory items, I love the pastry frank and curry croquette. It seems like they started expanding more of their menu with seasonal items such as such as pizettas and fall vibes with biscoff and pumpkin flavored things. Looking forward to giving those a try some time.“

“Blown away by Susie Cakes! Great people, fabulous selection of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and accessories! Plus they made my poor planning and last minute need their very pleasant priority. Sweet service with a smile!!!“

“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.“

“Best place yet in California to eat other than grandma carmen's“

“Don't miss this wonderful place. Once you try BrioBrio's delicious food, you'll regret you hadn"t discovered It before. Thanks Naoko and Ruichi for feeding our body and soul!!!“

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

“This place has a crazy variety of meats, different cuts, styles, you name it. Prices are pretty much on par with regular grocery stores, but just a heads up, the meat is frozen. Props to them for having good spices and making it a one-stop shop, especially if you want to put together a small charcuterie board or just whip up some pasta for dinner.
They do have a small selection of fresh produce, or maybe it was frozen… honestly, I forgot! But for certain items, I think it’s a bit overpriced. This time, I grabbed the Argentinian Bombon sausage, paired it with some crusty bread and chimichurri, super tasty!“

“I ordered through DoorDash delivery — everything arrived fresh and delicious!
The King Cream Donut is out of this world: super fluffy, with a perfectly balanced cream that’s not overly sweet. The same goes for the Strawberry Croissant — absolutely loved it. We also enjoyed the Ganache Cream Cake and the Coffee Croissant. Highly recommend!“

“Love the pastries and bought a cake“

“Only bread I can eat!! 💗“

“Absolutely love this bakery! Everything is always fresh, beautiful made, and taste amazing. The staff is super friendly and helpful and you can really tell put love into everything they bake. Definitely my favorite spot for sweet, highly recommend!“

“I went in this morning and ordered the signature burrito with no ham, cashier was friendly. It was ready quickly and tasted fresh and delicious with a side of green salsa I will return here soon, for another breakfast burrito. They have a very wide selection of donuts and drinks to choose from.“

“Used to live nearby until we moved to Texas several years ago. Visiting CA this week and HAD TO visit again. Their coffee, especially blueberry, is a must have, their super cinnamon bagel is the best (nothing like it in Texas), and the staff very friendly! Love this place and will be back before we leave. Do yourself a favor and eat here.“

“very yummy and satisfying food. the staff are very friendly and helpful.“

“Always a great experience here. Staff is so polite and friendly. Food is amazing and portions always require a to go bag. Highly recommend“

“Friendly environment and delicious cookies 😊“

“I went there to get a donut for my son's bday. The lady over there gave me hole donuts free. I didn't expect that but just doing little thing makes you feel more welcoming and comfortable. I love their donuts and the warm atmosphere that they have. Highly recommended“

“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.“
