Saffron Bakery — Restaurant in Aliso Viejo

One of the most delicious breakfast spots I've ever been to in a very long time. We found this place by happenstance. We were visiting family in California from out of state and was looking for something local to grab a bite. I was blown away by Saffron Bakery—it truly turned out to be a gem. Unfortunately, we were only in town for a couple of days, or else we would've loved to become regulars. I ended up taking lunch home for the drive the next day, it was that good. The owner even remembered my name, which was such a thoughtful touch and shows that they really care about attention to detail. The food was fantastic—I had the eggs Benedict on my first visit, and they were cooked to perfection. My wife had an exually amazing dish- the breakfast croissant which was fantastic- I nibbled a bit of it. We only wish we had places like this back home! Definitely be back the next time we are in the area...

David Against Goliath: A Hidden Gem in Aliso Viejo

This tiny little coffee shop, Saffron Bakery, is tucked away just fifty feet from a large and easily visible Starbucks, but don’t let its hidden location fool you. Although you can’t spot this place from the street—it’s behind a gas station carwash—there’s a reason it’s packed on Sunday mornings. Families, bike riders, and takeout customers all line up for their delicious baked goodies.

During our visit on a hot summer day, my wife and I enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, and the owner, noticing we were new, took the time to introduce himself and have a friendly chat with us. The personal touch was refreshing, but let me tell you, the coffee deserves a six-star rating! Saffron Bakery is a true underdog story—offering quality, community, and unbeatable flavor....

I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I enjoyed my recent visit to your bakery. From the moment I walked in, I felt the warmth and charm of the space, and the scent of fresh pastries made it feel like a little slice of heaven and very less sugary. My family always complained about too much sugar in most pastries and cookies. However, now they are so happy to buy pastries and Danish here. I especially loved the Sour Dough Baguette, and my son became a regular customer for the almond croissant and Turkish coffee. It was truly delicious, and the quality was great. The team was welcoming and attentive, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy incredible treats. I'll be looking forward to...
