Diotima had been on my list for awhile so when I was around the area on a Friday morning, I decided…read moreto finally check them out! I got there around 10:45am and they still had a lot of pastries and everything looked so good! I decided to just order one thing for myself and what caught my eye was the Cookienish with was a cookie inside a danish. It was very interesting but yummy! The cookie was soft and the pastry just made sense. I did pay $6 for one pastry which is kinda steep but I also understand that they are freshly made. The service was also great and the employee helping me was patient as I decided what to buy. I want to come back and try other things and their drinks. Recommend checking it out!

My family loves the spinach cheese and mixed berry croissant.

For a second, I felt like we had been transported to Europe. The pastries here are incredible, and the service was magnificent.

We also tried the jalapeño croissant and the banana crème Danish, and everything was delicious. Needless to say, we'll definitely be coming back!

I used to manage the Chipotle right next door, so I stopped by this bakery quite often. The owners…read moreand their son have always been incredibly kind, welcoming, and appreciative of the neighboring businesses. Their son in particular is phenomenal and always made every interaction pleasant. The baked goods are fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. While there was one interaction in the past that felt a little more business-focused than hospitality-focused regarding a mall discount, it was far from enough to take away from the overall experience this bakery consistently provides. Manager ( not the owners ) was upset I wasn't able to offer a mall discount when they were able too. Came to the point she would verbally say we wouldn't ( myself and crew members) wouldn't be receiving it. Personally not a big deal. Most I'd spend was 5-7$ and discount was less than a dollar. Still a phenomenal bakery At the end of the day, great ownership, great products, and great people. Small businesses like this deserve support, and I'm always happy to recommend them.

Extremely Disappointing Service -- It's About the Principle…read more We ordered a tuna brioche sandwich and were asked whether we wanted a salad or fries. I clearly said fries. When I received the bill, I noticed I had been charged separately for the sandwich and a side of fries. Since we were sharing the sandwich, I asked for it to be cut in half. After having to ask again, the sandwich finally arrived on a small plate. We then had to ask for a second plate so we could each have our own. The entire experience felt unnecessarily complicated and showed a real lack of attention to basic customer service. After waiting more than half an hour, we asked about the fries we had ordered and already paid for. Instead of simply checking the order, the server asked to see my receipt, which made me feel as though he was questioning whether I was telling the truth. After some time, he returned and admitted that he had made a mistake when charging us. He explained that what I had paid for the fries was actually the full price of the sandwich, and if we still wanted fries, we would have to pay for them again. The fries were only $2, so this was never about the money. What was upsetting was the principle. You made the mistake, not the customer. I had already left approximately a 20% tip, and I simply expected the restaurant to honor the mistake rather than come back and ask me for another $2. When I pointed this out, I was told the manager would not allow it. Honestly, the $2 mistake cost you a customer. I will not return, and I would not recommend this place. It's not about the price of the fries--it's about how you make your customers feel. After spending our money here and leaving a good tip, I expected to feel that our business was appreciated. Instead, I left feeling that it simply wasn't.

From the start, you're welcomed with the fresh scent of baked bread, fresh pastries, and coffee. I ordered the Ronnie on rye and my husband ordered the eggs Benedict. We also ordered a half sweet vanilla latte and a caramel macchiato. Everything was delicious! My sandwich was, honestly, heaven. It was such a delicious twist on a breakfast item to have a hot pastrami sandwich with egg, cheese, hash brown, and extra Dijon. Being pregnant, this was perfect. I tried my husband's eggs Benedict and it was delicious, as well. The bun was so soft and fluffy and created a great base for the dish. Finally, the coffees were nicely balanced and my half sweet vanilla latte had just the right amount of flavor. This cafe is bustling for good reason! Almost every table was full and there were plenty of people inside ready for to-go orders. But, it didn't feel overwhelming and remained welcoming. There's plenty of seating outside so dont be deterred! All of the staff were working hard and were very polite. Can't wait to go back!

I finally got a chance to visit this place and I am so happy that I did…read more I was going to visit my 99 year old grandmother and wanted to get her some sweets on my way there. When I walked in, a kind lady greeted me and asked me what I would like to get. I told her that I am visiting my grandmother and what she recommends that are not too sweet and easy to chew for an elder. Everything that she recommended was delicious! She even gave couple of pastries on the house for my grandma to try which was so sweet and kind. When I got to my grandma's house, she tried a little bit of everything and enjoyed it! I could see if from the smile on her face. That day was the last day I saw my grandma well before she went to hospital 5 days later and passed away 3 days after that. But I am so happy that this bakery and especially the kind owner, gave me a chance to see my grandma enjoying the pastries and being all happy. I will never forget that day and I owe it to this bakery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Even though I've been living in California…read morefor 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!
