It has been a while since I've been back to Diotima and I'm happy to report that their pastries, especially their croissants, are really good! This time, I got the Turkey BBQ ($7), Ham & Cheese Salt Bread ($6), BBQ Brisket Salt Bread ($7), Pistachio & Raspberry Croissants ($6.50), and Pain Au Chocolate ($4.50). They were all really good, but I don't think I'd get the Salt Breads again. While the filling itself were good, I wasn't a huge fan of the bread itself. It felt doughy and nothing special. Croissants are flaky and they continue to come up with new sweet and savory flavors that keeps it interesting! Service is friendly and overall, a really nice place to grab pastries from! read more

Diotima Bakehouse - Savory and sweet pastries from $4.50 - $7. 7/9/2026 - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I've been meaning to try out Diotima for a while, so when I found myself in the neighborhood this morning I decided to visit. Kian runs this place like the navy. The quality of the food speaks for itself, but what is most impressive is the smooth operation of this hot new cafe. The space itself is small, and the cafe gets busy---- but there is plenty of seating and even during peak hours, there's barely a line. His team is incredibly efficient and quick. From the second I walked in, I was welcomed. The place is spotless-- as soon as there is an empty table, a staff member cleans it. It is clear that the team at Diotima takes a lot of pride in this little bakery cafe. The cappuccino was delicious, and the price point was great for the area. The croissant was excellent--- not too sweet, and that beautiful combination of buttery soft inside and flaky outside that demonstrates how fresh it is. I'm very impressed by Diotima, and wish Kian and the team so much success! I look forward to taking my friends here soon :) read more

Diotima Bakehouse - cappuccino and pan au chocolat - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Diotima Bakehouse, an amazingly delicious bakery, is located off of Los Alisos and Jeronimo in the city of Mission Viejo. I've heard all the buzz about this place and I have had it bookmarked since owner and chef Kian Moltaji first opened. I am happy to say that I finally had a chance to go. I am literally kicking myself for not having gone sooner because of ALL the bakeries I have been to...I can honestly say that this is by far my absolute favorite. They are open Wednesday through Sunday only so keep that in mind. Chef Kian, offers French pastries that will have you wanting more with the very first bite. The bakery not only smells amazing but it's clean inside and decorated with some pretty live plants. I mean, the bakery made me smile just walking in. Don't know. There are several small tables that line two side walls, just perfect for some coffee and chill with a friend. What I ordered. 1) almond & raspberry danish 5/5 - OMG. I love almond desserts and pastries but I am always so hesitant to take the first bite because they're usually crazy sweet. Not this. This was crispy, flaky, moist, tasty and perfectly sweetened. 2) caramelized almond croissant 5/5 - another super good almond pastry. You'd think being that it is caramelized that this would be cavity inducing but it is far from that. Just the right sweetness. 3) guava cheese 5/5 - really good. What I liked was the soft sweetness of the cheese which usually overpowers cheese pasties everywhere else. 4) chocolate croissant - I didn't get to try this. The kids devoured it so quickly I didn't even have a chance. They did enjoy it very much and had to split the two between them since it's a fairly large pastry. They asked for me to buy more of it, so I'm guessing it must've been a 5/5 for them too. 5) pistachio raspberry croissant 5/5 - this is amazing. No wonder they run out of this all the time. 6) caramelized pistachio raspberry 5/5 - similar to the croissant. This is also very delicious. This one also ran out the first time I went. 7) Nutella 5/5 - I honestly cannot remember the name of this pastry other than it has Nutella in it. This was a huge hit with the kids. The kids are already bugging about going as soon as they open again to which I will happily oblige. I need to snag me some of the pistachio pastries next time. I hear those are amazing. So happy to have them so close to home. read more

Probably the best bakery in Orange County. Can't think of any other businesses doing superior baked goods currently. The quality of their products is very impressive.

shout out to Kian and his team for giving my cousin who was visiting from out of town a great experience. I came two days back-to-back because they were out of Pistachio croissants. First day came late in the day, didnt find what i was looking for but left with a pistachio cake that was divine! Kian advised me to come back the following day at 10am when they opened and promised the croissant i was looking for would be available. Needless to say, the following morning, we headed over there and it was packed! We were able to find a table and order Pistachio croissants, pistachio cake I had the previous day, the new Pistachio roulette, add a cup of joy latte and a regular latte for my cousin. We had a very much needed catch up session and ended up making friends with the couple sitting next to us. We loved the new Pistachio roulette so much, I bought a few more along with more croissants and cake for the family to take home. They loved it!! I have only 1 gripe, the pistachio croissant has a raspberry filling now that makes it a bit too sweet for some. I wish they would have one without the raspberry filling. I asked Kian and he said you could pre order ahead of time and they could custom make it. I paid a pretty penny within the last 2 days and will be back to enjoy another "cup of joy" which is a latte consisting of cardamom, saffron in a latte. I'm in! My cousin who is a latte snob loved both his latte and mine. 9/10 read more

I'd give Diotima a 3.5 and have to sadly report that I am not as impressed as everyone else. I have been three different times this past year, and most recently had the choccolate croissant, the eclair and the butterscotch chocolate chip cookie. The first two times, I focused on the laminated pastries - almond croissant, kouign amman (filled with pastry cream) and a guava pastry. Sadly, this is where I don't think Diotima does that well - my chocolate croissant was on the doughier side - think a more bready Costco croissant. I thought the kouign amman was really dense, as was the almond croissant. I love my laminated pastries and found them dense, as if the dough got too warm. However, the bright spots are the cookies and the eclair. I actually thought the cookie was one of the best I've ever tasted - great chewy texture, even when cold, delicious complex flavor, with salty bits running through it. Actually really fabulous. The eclair was also good - I do find that based on the eclair and filled kouign amman, I find the pastry cream too thick and sticky - it just has a very sticky mouthfeel. I haven't tried any of the drinks, but I think I'll stick to Diotima's cookies, cakes and refrigerated desserts. For laminated pastries, I think Chaupain does a fine job. read more

First time here... been wanting to visit. There are a few really high quality "European" style pastry shops in South Orange County... and Diotima is up there with the best. I'd like to give this higher but I only give 5's based on consistency so my reviews are authentic and if I've tried a good variety of their options. The service was solid but could have communicated about the product more as I was selecting... maybe a question about if this was my first time in or if I like sweet or savory and offer a few suggestions... just a thought. It's a small spot but has space to meet with a friend and have a drink (I didn't order one but people dinning in all had a specialty drink) It was clean and seemed well cared for with a simple decor. If you are in the area, support this local spot as we need to help keep places that provide quality food doing well! I'm looking forward to going back and trying some of the savory pastries. read more

Being a fan of croissants, how have I not learned about this place before?! While I haven't gotten thru everything I bought just yet, there already is a good vibe with what I've sampled - chocolate babka, kouign amann, and butter croissant. It's nice that this bakery is close to home - I'll definitely become a regular here! read more

There was always a line outside Diotima so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the almond cake, Kouign Aman (filled and unfilled), the salmon mousse croissant, butter croissant, salt bread, and an iced almond latte. As a Parisian-inspired bakery, I expected the croissants to be flaky and tender and did they live up to this expectation. The butter croissant crackled when I bit it, and then it exposed the tender center. I had the same experience with the kouign aman. I was concerned though that the kouign aman would be too sweet, but because of the slight bitterness of the caramelized sugar, it didn't taste too sweet at all. The almond cake was also delicious. Not too sweet and moist. Full of almond flavor. The ice almond latte was delicious, rich, and the espresso was not acidic or bitter. Now for the salt bread. The bread was good, but it didn't have the same texture contrasts I was expecting when compared to other salt breads I have had. Overall, a great little bakery and I will be stopping by again. read more

Every time we're here we can't help ourselves but order everything!! All pastries and sandwiches taste as good as they look! You can't go wrong with any pastries that you get here! Our favorites: Kouign amann (with vanilla filling) Pain Au Chocolate Almond croissant Cardamom bun Turkey salted bread: loved all the textures and different layers of flavors! These also sell fast!! BBQ Turkey salted bread: wow!! So good! Come early bc these sell out FAST!! The staff here are all so delightful!! Everyone is friendly and eager to help. Their recommendations are great, but then again all items are pretty AMAZING! The line will get long but it moves pretty quickly! If you're lucky you'll see chef Kian himself behind the counter! He's super friendly and a humble man. :) There are few tables available inside for you to enjoy your goodies. People often grab the pastries to go but we like eating there and people watch! I wish we didn't have to drive 20+ minutes to get here but it's worth it! Also be mindful that the bakery is only opened 4 days a week (Tues, Th, Fri, and Saturday)! Chef Kian is working on opening possibly on Sundays! Fingers crossed!! read more

A budding cafe with a nice variety of baked goods; classics and some twists on the classics, beautifully made. The turkey sandwich is very filling and delicious, especially for those who like pickles. The butter croissant was not bad, actually... I prefer a bit more tang and the structure could use some improvement but I am a self-proclaimed croissant snob and I was not disappointed. I find the prices to be fair, but I'm used to dining in LA. I found some of the lower rating reviews to be quite rough. Folks might not recognize the level of effort and time it takes to laminate croissants and to create edible works of art. Service was welcoming and gracious. I would love to see this place continue to grow and thrive with the support of its generous community. So many people popped in and picked up a box or two of goodies. The music, the smiles, and friendly chatter left me with a great first impression. read more

Diotima Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Pastries were amazing! Went in with friends and we enjoyed the banana crème pie, the guava cream cheese, and I loved the smoked salmon cucumber croissant. We got plenty and split to try new flavors. The owner greeted us when we entered right at opening and that's is very rare to see nowadays. The staff were friendly, kind, and efficient. There is seating inside (2 tables of 4 seats) and a few 2 people tables. They serve coffee too! Price ranges from $6-$10 more or less depending on what you choose. I love that we can go and grab our own utensils and napkins as someone with a bit of social anxiety hehe. Thank you for bringing joy to our day! read more

Diotima Bakehouse - Box to go - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Visited after having a big lunch near closing time. Their hours are pretty limited. Something like 1100-1600. Not really good for picking up boxes of goodies meant for morning meetings or team sports event. The parking was tight and limited. The silent pressure to make the transaction quickly so they can go home soon was very salient. The selection was limited perhaps due to it being 20 minutes before closing. I got 4 pastries for $25 or so. Various items with vanilla custard filling, cream filling, and chocolate filling of sort. None of them except for the custard square stood out to me. Everything tasted too sweet, sticky, stale, and/or buttery. Very messy to eat in the car. I guess I am just not a French pastry sweets kind of person. I have similar reactions when going to Chaupain or places like Paris Baguette. Both are French-style bakeries and I always feel like their stuff is too sweet or too oily. At least their products aren't stale. Because of how out of way this location is from home, difficult parking situation, not the friendliest or the most efficient service, the price points being $7 for a sickly sweet and stale tart, I doubt I will be returning. I have no problem driving out to Santa Monica / Century City just to get some good baked items. Distance isn't always the problem. Perhaps I just don't understand the hype behind Diotima but that's ok. read more

Go to Diotima 15 minutes before it opened on a weekday, and I was third in line. By the time 11am hit and the store opened, there was a decent sized line behind me. The employees were quick, efficient, and friendly. Even the owner, Kian, was there to help greet customers and work the cash register. The pastries were all delicious. Our favorites were the chocolate cake, the cream filled kouign amann, the guava cheese pastry, and the ham and cheese croissant. Even though we had to wait in line, everyone there seemed very happy and it was overall a really great experience. read more

Came across Chef Kian on social media way before he opened his store front. I've been a fan of his pastries without even trying them. When he finally opened a bakery... just my luck, it's literally a few streets down from home. They have limited days & hours. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, & Saturday from 11AM to 4PM. Best to come early since they sell out of the crowd favorites. Big fan of their almond croissants, kouign amann, ham & jalapeño muffin croissant, basically anything with a puff pastry base they nailed it. The chocolate chip cookie with flaky salt is also a favorite. They serve coffee and tea drinks. The latest one I tried was the calamansi matcha. It was so good and refreshing. Great pastries. Good service. A must on your list of bakeries in the area. read more

Had been following Kian since the Covid days where he was making baking videos on IG. Finally came out to check this place out and my mind was blown. What a great bakery, friendly vibes, and great service. Huge line on a Saturday morning though so be prepared to wait. Seating can also be difficult as it's limited. All items we got were super tasty and we got many pastries to test out. Surprisingly my favorite of all was the italian sausage croissant! Cappuccino was also great. Was expecting a little more action from the Pistachio and almond berry cakes, but they were still really good. Will be back for the sausage croissant and want to try the basque cheesecake and eclair! read more

This place is amazing! Not only are Kian and his team friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, but they make many delectable goodies here, and I hope they stick around for a long time. From my haul, two stellar items were the chocolate eclair and the chocolate cake. Eclair was absolutely scrumptious with the chocolate ganache-like glaze and custardy filling. Cake slice was so decadent and fudgy that I could only eat a couple of bites in one sitting, but that just means I'll have dessert for a few days (yay!). Most of their offerings are a bit pricey, but they taste like quality ingredients, and I'm sure a lot of them take time and resources in order to be made and presented well. The iced pumpkin spice latte was tasty. Super pumpkiny, well spiced, and enjoyably sweet. They weren't messing around with the pumpkin and the spice, so it wasn't a drink I could chug, but I looked forward to sipping it the following morning. The bakeshop is in the Silverado Plaza at Jeronimo Rd and Los Alisos Blvd. Parking lot is free but a little small. I was able to find a spot during the early afternoon, but they had already ran out of over half of their pastries, so coming early to browse more of a selection would be a fantastic idea. Even though most baked goods are expensive, and the location is a bit out of the way for me, Diotima will definitely be the occasional treat for me. read more

The kouign amann with vanilla custard filling from Diotima is one of my all-time favorite pastries. The custard is light and not too sweet. I came on a Tuesday morning and there was luckily no wait.

Diotima Bakehouse - Pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Pastries galore and just like in France! Was super amazed by the variety of the pastries offered at Diotima. And was blown away by the quality. I ordered a pain au chocolat, almond croissant, and babka. The croissants were amazing and buttery! The almost croissant was delicate and not too sweet. The almond paste was delicious and the chef was not skimpy with it. It was a good portion and spread evenly throughout the croissant so you could taste it in every bite. The babka was something new I tried. I would describe it as a rustic roll with a swirl of cinnamon and sugar. It was the perfect mix of sweet and hint of salty. My favorite thing was the smoked salmon mousse croissant sandwich. It was so yummy, delicate yet super savory. There were hints of fresh dill, smoked salmon, and fresh mini cucumber! I could eat this sandwich everyday!! The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining what each item was. The Bakehouse also offers various coffee drinks and teas! Highly recommend this place but go early because they sell out! Enjoy! read more

Diotima is an authentic French bakery tucked inside an unassuming strip mall. I stopped by about 30 minutes after opening on a Saturday and there was already a line; but honestly, the wait was completely worth it. If anything, it gave me more time to stand there in awe trying to decide what to get. The display was mesmerizing. I wanted to order everything... and very nearly did. I ended up bringing a selection back to share with coworkers, and every single item was a hit. The chocolate cake was deeply decadent, rich without being overly sweet. Paired with the chocolate éclair -- which might be the best éclair I've ever had -- it was pure pastry bliss. The éclair had that perfect balance of light choux, silky cream, and glossy chocolate topping that just melts into everything. This place truly feels like a little slice of France in Mission Viejo. Definitely worth planning a visit (and arriving early). read more

Diotima Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Diotima is my favorite pastry shop/coffee house. It's possible to go there for lunch although the savory offerings are limited. Kian the chef is also a classically trained French chef, not just a patissier so he would like to offer things like French onion soup but he is limited by the lack of a hood and gas stoves in the kitchen. I believe he can offer Neapolitan and Detroit style pizzas, open faced croque-monsieurs because they just require ovens, ham and cheese sandwiches with French bread, salade nicoise... Having said that, his Viennoiserie-type pastries are excellent. There are fun combinations to be had. We enjoyed the pistachio raspberry croissant, pain au chocolat so layered it looks like a skyscraper, Kouin Amann with cream filling is an interesting take on the classic but the amount of cream is a little overwhelming for me. I tried the pain suisse for the first time and enjoyed the crunch on top (it's basically a Kouin Amann with a filling of crème patissière and chocolate chips). The seating is limited, there was only one four top, the rest seat two. There is a line when it opens at 11:00 but by 11:30 it thins out. Parking is decent but if it runs out, park on the north side and walk over. read more

I really wanted to love this place but maybe got all the same thing? The chocolate candied crossiant was delish and made me think "why have I never done this?!" The vanilla custard was exactly as it sounded but wrapped in a crossiant like dough. The kouign-amann had a nice sticky bottom which was stick to your teeth good. However, I think next time I'll be trying their tarts and cakes since everything seemed the same in my order. The service is okay and pretty quick here and limited seating inside. I suggest coming to pick up and heading out read more

The cinnamon roll was especially delicious, and the croissants were flaky and consistent. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to try more of their offerings.

Diotima Bakehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I found this bakery on TikTok. I went for a short hike on Oso Creek Trail and I wanted to try out a local Mission Viejo restaurant. My search results yielded this bakery. Since I was already on Jeronimo Rd., I decided to give them a try. I got the kouign amann plain and one filled with vanilla cream. Both were absolutely heaven. Perfect flakiness and layers of buttery croissant. Not too sweet. I also got a cinnamon roll and a mixed berry brioche. The cinnamon roll was good. I wish it had more cinnamon between the rolls of the bread. The mixed berry brioche needed something more maybe a little bit of cream cheese. It just tasted like berries and bread nothing special. The service was friendly and welcoming. The baker made a few suggestions to me. The bakery is small. There are a few chairs inside and there is no outside seating available. Please note that each pastry is about $6. I think that's reasonable for a French bakery. Diotima is located in a strip mall and there is ample parking. I also tried their strawberry matcha. I'm not a fan. However, if you have a sweet tooth, please stop by Diotima. You won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing bakery! Love the selection. Croissants are one of my favorite things and the butter croissant here is light, flaky, and buttery. I coupled it with the saffron cardamon latte and I still am thinking about it everyday... when am I in the area again so I can come visit again!! I was also heading to see a few of my friends and I always like to bring them pastries from different bakeries. Diotima made it easy with very nice pastry boxes that I loaded with ham and cheese croissant, brown butter chocolate chip cookie, and croissant. Big hit in a beautiful box. Service was great and friendly. Parking was busy when I came towards noon. Indoor seating. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Decided to give this place a try because I was already in the area getting coffee beans from Mameya Coffee Roasters. It's a bit pricey but the quality is exceptional. Even though I've seen similar items at other bakeries, this place just takes it to another level. I tried several fancy looking items so far, but my favorite so far is its almond croissant. I realize it's a common item these days, but the one here is the best I had so far. It tasted super fresh with a nice flaky crust, and the almond filling was top notch. It's pretty generous with its filling because it's the most packed almond croissant I ever got. Also tried Brownie Amann (like kouign amann but filled with brownie), Mixed Berry Tart, Pistachio Raspberry Croissant, Guava Cream Cheese Danish, and Apple Cheese Crumble. They were all equally good. This place is very popular so expect a long wait if you come early. You can avoid the crowd by coming late, but most of the stuff will be sold out close to closing time. read more
