46 Best Bakeries near San Juan Capistrano

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

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“Great customer service +(8)(O)(5)(4)(1)(0)(5)(0)(4)(0) NO NONSENSE and GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!“

“A friend was showing me around San Juan Capistrano and this place is a hidden gem for good tacos. Each taco is about $4-5 unless you get street tacos (smaller) $2-$3. This has existed for about a decade according to my friend TB. She says it was cheaper back then, but inflation and the development of the San Juan Capistrano area has really increased the prices.

The two tacos I got today:
(1) El pastor - the spicy marinated meat lit a fire in my stomach in the good way
(2) Carne asada - the meat was generously provided
I was asked whether I wanted cilantro and onions with my tacos and I said a resounding yes! I was incredibly full with just two tacos. It’s a filling meal.

TB and I came around 10-11 am which is a bit early for lunch hahaha but this place opens at 6 am! We still had to stand in line for 10 min. That’s how much of a consistent presence of customers and service is provided. There are a lot of people working to prepare the food for you, so I’ve been so blessed.

You’ll be provided a receipt and a number. In a sense, it reminded me of a pastrami sandwich store I visited in NYC except this time it’s for tacos in Southern California. Hone in on your Spanish so that you’ll be able to recognize your number when they call it out too!

There’s much to look around and explore just within the restaurant. I was so tempted to order a juice and pastries, but God knew I wouldn’t be able to handle everything. I can’t wait to come again another day.

There are tables outside that you can sit to chat with friends, which is what TB and I did.
God bless you all!“

“the food is more then what you pay for it tacos are big n all meat is delicious“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“I love their cookies so muchh!! The workers are amazing and the cookies are always warm and tasty😼😼

Dietary restrictions: I have a peanut/nut allergy and i haven't had an allergic reaction yet, even when they have peanut cookies“

“Tracy and her team have exceeded my expectations both times I've ordered custom cakes. Not only do they look amazing they taste amazing too!“

“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.“

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

“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 just ordered 11 dozen mini cupcakes for a party this past weekend. They were a hit! Tina was super easy to work with. She communicated quickly and it was easy to order. Her flavors were so good. I am a cupcake aficionado, and I was very impressed with her cupcakes. They were moist and flavorful. I would highly recommend Frosting on Top for your next event. You will not be disappointed.“

“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 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.“

“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. 🤩“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great ambiance, pets are welcome, super staff & eats! Lots of compliments check them out!“

“I ordered their BLTA on sourdough and a fruit tart. The sandwich was absolutely DELICIOUS!! All the ingredients were crisp and fresh, and the bacon was crispy but not at all burnt! It was literally the best bacon sandwich I've had since moving here. It's a simple comfort food but they absolutely nailed it!! The fruit tart was a delight as well!! The cream was light and sweet with a heavenly tart crust.
The shop's interior was clean and beautifully decorated and they made me feeling right at home. (Also their bathroom was clean and smelt so nice!)
I hope to return soon and try out even more if their pastries. They had some super delicious looking things like a baclava cheesecake and a blueberry scone!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“😁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!“

“we bought several desserts for Christmas parties for all of our gluten free, vegan abd soy free family members. Everything Giselle made was so delicious and beautiful!!!! I highly recommend and congrats her abd her husband on their wonderful bakery and services to our community. thank you!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Some of the employees here are lazy and not friendly. Some are outstanding. It depends on who you get. I’ve walked in multiple times and girls are sitting around talking about life or on their phones without an acknowledgement. Then when they’re asked a question, they seem annoyed.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

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

“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!!!“

“Good food, and nice atmosphere, recommend korean ribs barbecue, etc“

“This the most wonderful bakery!! What a blessing to have them in San Clemente!
The pastries, breads & lunches are absolutely delicious! The outdoor patio is a happy place to take a break & enjoy life on Avenida Del Mar. But perhaps the most fabulous thing of all is the caring people who work behind the counter, who dedicate themselves to helping every customer to have a lovely day.
Thank you, Chaupain!🌈“

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

“Great meal. Christiana was friendly, attentive and had great suggestions. The steak and eggs was good… the steak had a slight gamey taste (kinda like lamb) but the flavor and tenderness were solid. The mushroom toast dish was amazing. Pizza was solid. French toast was just ok. Overall good experience.“

“They didn't have much of a selection when I went, but all I wanted were the pretzel bites and they had those. Otherwise the options were cinnamon pretzel, cinnamon pretzel bites, or regular pretzel bites. Seemed odd, but maybe it was the timing of my visit. If I'm craving something specific I'll probably try calling in advance next time before making the trip“
