Saffron Bakery

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.

Great little new bakery in the middle of Aliso Viejo. It's nice a bright with a great selection of different types of baked items.The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful in describing the pastries. It's a cute little shop that is bright and clean.

Absolutely Amazing! I can't recommend this place enough! If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and check it out! They offer the freshest pastries and the best quality in all of OC! Everything is delicious, and even their sandwiches are out of this world.The service? Above and beyond! And with their cozy, welcoming ambiance, you'll feel right at home. Don't miss out--this spot is a true gem!

Wow, the baked goods here were so good and fresh. I had the sliced pear danish and it was not too sweet. The pear itself gave it a good amount of sweetness with a flaky croissant-like bread around it, and it was so buttery and flaky it came off in pieces of layers. I also had the "everything but the bagel seasoning" croissant and it had a whipped cream cheese filling which had a good amount and the croissant was made very well. It was airy, flaky, and buttery. Both baked goods were absolutely delicious.

I love love this place! This hasn't happened before but this morning I head into Saffron for one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches and it was mediocre at best. The lady at the register was really nice but also acted a bit tricky! Our interaction was pleasant at first and then I asked if she can add jalapeños to my sandwich and she said okay and as she rings me up she tries to charge me for a jalapeño croissant (could have been an honest mistake) so I told her and she said "oh it's for the jalapeño" okay but I'm not gonna pay $5 for jalapeños .. so she then removes it and then makes a comment "did you wake up hungry/hangry" lololol HUH?!! is that ever even appropriate especially if I'm not being rude? You're literally overcharging me and I'm letting you know and I'm the bad person? Hmm okayy .. Anyway bring the guys back! They're so much efficient and nice

Several visits later, and I am happy to report that everything we've tried has been so good. From the pear tart, the croissant (plain, almond and chocolate), napoleon, to the French baguette, the strawberry choux, the traditional apple pie, and finally... a chocolate chip cookie... everything has been delicious. Freshly made, not super sweet, and just, fresh. Anything with fruit in it is a must!!

Saffron Bakery is a Persian tea/pastry shop that has some delicious and unique baked goods. It's a tiny little spot packed with lots of different pastries that many people may not have tried. There were so many things I wanted to try but I stuck with the Nutella Pastry and the Raspberry Pistachio Tart. Both of them were delicious specially the tart, it's a must try. Along with that there were more I wanted to try out like the saffron cake but I'm saving it for another time. Service was ok, there are a couple small tables inside and outside for seating. I got some Persian Tea along with my dessert but one of my biggest pet peeves is when nice bakeries service tea and coffee in to go cups specially for dine in. For people that haven't tried Persian style desserts and pastries, this is a good place to get started.

Service is top notch with friendly people on staff and they are happy to answer any questions.We tried a cinnamon twist thing and it was very, very good! Sourdough bread is great and chewy like it should be. They have great selection of breakfast dishes as well as specials on the board out front so it's not just pastries. Saw this hash plate that looked amazing... need to go back to try that. You can sit inside or outside or if you want just grab something to go and pop over to Starbucks which is a few doors down.

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!!!!!!

It's a tiny bakery hidden behind a car wash--we almost missed the entrance. The store itself is small, with just a few indoor seats. It doesn't seem like they expect people to sit inside, given the limited space and how the seating is arranged.Friendly, attentive service. +++ Raspberry Tart: Delightful! Lightly sweetened, with a fluffy pistachio cake layer and a buttery pie crust. The sweetness is just right--this pastry is perfect.-++ Polish Apple Pie: The top is a bit too sweet for my taste, and the pecans aren't roasted, but the apple filling with golden raisins and lemon juice really brings it all together.--+ Cardamom Coffee: Decent coffee, nothing exceptional, just good enough.Can't wait to go back for more delicious pastries!
