“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“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 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. 🤩“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

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

“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!“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Bahar Bakery! Even though I’ve been living in California for over a decade and have tried some of the best bakeries across Southern California, the Bay Area, and San Francisco, I have honestly never had a cake with this level of quality and deliciousness.

The birthday cake they made for me was absolutely stunning — the design was flawless, detailed, and beautifully executed. It looked like a true piece of art. But even more impressive was the taste. The cake was incredibly fresh, perfectly moist, and so flavorful without being overly sweet. Every single guest kept asking where it was from!

Bahar Bakery truly exceeded all my expectations. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and flavor are unmatched. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a custom cake that is both breathtakingly beautiful and unbelievably delicious. Thank you for making my celebration so special!“

“We’ve lived in this city—and in this very neighborhood—for five years, but it was only about six months ago that we happened to stop by this store. And guess what? We were absolutely amazed, because they stock the most delicious meat we’ve ever tasted—the kind we now eat almost every single day. The beef here is incredibly tasty and tender, and the lamb chops are simply delicious. They also offer a wide variety of unique local delicacies, and we frequently buy their excellent fresh fish to prepare at home. All in all, it’s the best meat shop we’ve come across yet—and, by the way, the prices are very reasonable!“

“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!!!“

“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!!!“

“So excited to always come to Paris baguette no matter what location is I’m always welcome by the best.So excited to always come to Paris baguette no matter what location, always welcomed by the best.

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

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

“Love this place! ✔️Great Service ✔️Delicious Cakes ✔️Left Happy“

“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!!“

“Stopped in to get a single everything bagel for a breakfast sando the next day. For $2.25, it wasn’t bad at all. The service was quick and friendly, and the bagel itself was really nice, chewy, heavily seasoned, and flavorful. Definitely a solid spot for a good bagel!“

“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.“

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

“Great food. Scary manager.
I was offered a french burrito which was really fricken good.
The next week, I wanted to order it again but the manager was here this time and said it does not exist anymore. I asked for a burrito in a crepe, she pandored upon it, and said alright. It was really good.
This week, I tried to order the burrito in a crepe again and was denied. They cannot do it apparently. French lady scary. I am too afraid to ask why they cannot do the burrito on a crepe again.“

“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“

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

“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!“
