    So fresh and so yummy. Everything looked delicious. We had the cinnamon roll and the ham & cheese croissant. The owner was the sweetest. He made sure we had everything we could have needed. The croissant was flaky and perfect. Like something from Paris. Definitely worth going to again and again.

    Cute bakery! Local friend took us here for a snack after brunch. The coffee was delicious. I shared a pistachio croissant. It was fabulous. Very limits seating. Lovely customer service.

    Baguette with olives
    John M.

    This is one of the best kept secrets in Aliso Viejo. The food and pastries are fantastic. The service is great and the selection on bakery items is wonderful. The sandwich's are super good. Take a baguette to go , the best I have ever had.

    More Baked Treats!

    Awesome Baked Goods! Very Good Breakfast Croissants! Very Good Cortados! Prices a little high. A little busy weekend mornings. Probably because it's so good!

    Eggs Florentine

    Indoor seating was quite limited on this cool Superbowl Sunday morning, but the excellence of the food and pleasantness of the staff more than made up for that. A staff member accommodated our party of four by putting two tables together and, although we were greeted with a blast of cool air (some would say "cold" air) each time a customer entered, it was okay. We sat in the aroma of comfort and were glad we came. My Eggs Florentine plate was sizeable and loaded with spinach. The accompanying potato cubes were crunchy on the outside and well-cooked on the inside. here." My wife's omelet was delicate and with the creaminess of a fine cheese. The combination of flavors made me think "I've got to come back." But when I do, it will be in warmer weather or I'll load up on food to go.

    Always smiling employee.

    Saffron Bakery might just be the best bakery in Orange County. The croissants are flaky perfection, the muffins are dangerously good, and the bread is the kind of bread that makes you rethink every sad loaf you've ever bought at the grocery store. Show up between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. and everything is still warm, which is basically the bakery equivalent of winning the lottery. Now, about the name. Saffron Bakery. You'd think they'd be slipping saffron into a pastry somewhere, right? Nope. I've never seen a single saffron-infused anything on the menu, other than a saffron cake on one visit. It's like calling your bakery "Caviar Cakes" or "Truffle Donuts." Bold move. But honestly, when the croissants are this good, they can call it "Toenail Bakery" and I'd still show up. Bonus points for location: it's wedged right next to a dry cleaner and a dentist. So if you drop butter on your shirt or chip a tooth on the crusty baguette, you can solve all your problems in one trip. That's efficiency. Bottom line: Saffron Bakery may not use saffron, but they do use witchcraft-level baking skills. Get there early, get it warm, and thank me later.

    Tuna sandwich
    Fethi B.

    I ordered a tuna sandwich it's heavenly made and the best by far with a real original French baguette , the service is above and beyond as soon as you step in this bakery & the ambiance is perfect for any time of the day they even have outdoor tables . I was too full but next time for sure I will try the pastries here I don't need to go to paris to have original French pastry any more because it's the same quality for sure . You must try this spot.

    Variety of Pastries
    Clara Shao Yen L.

    Puffy pastries are a feast for the eyes and ultra light to the bite. The Breakfast Croissant was very good! Eggs + spinach with aioli was full of flavor + super crispy bacon. Eating a croissant includes the experience of biting into the countless layers of light, buttery goodness. so I always have them on the side. It's a quaint neighborhood spot for breakfast, lunch, and many freshly baked goods made with the care and dedication of a family owned business. The service is friendly and always with a smile.

    Chocolate croissant, turkey, and cheese croissant, cheese danish, cinnamon twist.
    Melissa P.

    Go! Everything was delicious and fresh!!!! Picked up some treats for a friend turkey and cheese croissant, the cinnamon twist pastry, the chocolate croissant, and a cheese danish. Lucky for me I stayed around awhile and had the chance to taste them all. Amazing!!!!!!

Coming in,…read morethe air filled with lively chatter of families and friends over what smells like good home cooking. I loved the decor. (I didn't take photos). It feels like home away from home. Everyone here was friendly. And the staff are so welcoming. The hospitality was beyond. I came here with my mom and we both enjoyed it. My mom had ordered their fresh blueberry muffins and she enjoyed it along with her coffee. I didn't try the muffin this time because I wanted something savory. Next time for sure because it looks delicious. I had ordered the #1 on the menu choice of meat with eggs (any style). I ordered my plate with bacon, eggs over medium, with hash browns styled "Those Hash-browns" which has onions and bell peppers. (Not to be confused with house potatoes fyi). I also had it with a side of toasted sourdough. It had hit the spot for a breakfast plate and the price was very reasonable compared to other breakfast spots. The portions I feel were perfect. I took leftovers home (hash browns wise). I can't wait to come back with more family and friends and be able to just indulge in the yummy items of their menu. 11/10 for me. More than 5 stars to be honest. I'm glad we decided to stop here.

The chairs are old and madr of wood, the wallpaper is a faded, patterned blue. It's not the sort of place you'd expect in Irvine: coming in here feels like visiting an old grandmother's inn. Likewise on a Tuesday morning, most of the patrons seem like they're old regulars. There's an old, patriotic Americana feel to the whole space - and that's not necessary a bad thing. As for the food, I ordered a salsa egg burrito. It came out decently fast and smelled AMAZING. The portion size is more than generous, I didn't even realize the hash brown potatoes the menu mentioned it came with were on the side and not just in the burrito The inside of the burrito is completely filled with egg. In terms of taste, it wasn't one of the best breakfast burritos I've had, but it's still good and very filling.
