Scratch Bakery

The bakery items here are simply incredible! From the English muffin (OMG—hands down the best I’ve ever had), to the fresh-baked Marble Rye bread, giant milk chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, sweet chocolate eclairs, sugary Tiger rolls, warm and gooey chocolate brownies with milk chocolate shavings on top, and individual-sized cakes—the list goes on and on but seriously everything is amazing. Definitely the best bakery in Laguna Hills!

If you’ve got time to sit down for breakfast or lunch, don’t miss the Ronnie G (the fried egg, provolone cheese, and house-cured pastrami combo is next-level) or the BBLT sandwich. During breakfast, the burritos and breakfast sandwiches are solid picks too. The jalapeño cheddar biscuits and gravy, along with the eggs Benedict, are to die for—just a heads-up, they’re only served on Saturdays and Sundays.

They also offer a sugar-free and, surprisingly, a really tasty gluten-free donut!

If you’re planning to pick up a cake or dessert on the weekend, be prepared—lines can stretch out the door, and the wait can be a little long. But the friendly staff and great service make it worth it. Scratch has outdoor seating and plenty of space for big families – so definitely a restaurant where you can bring the whole family. They also serve an assortment of coffee, tea, juices, and soda.

Scratch does deliver and offers takeout, with breakfast and lunch available until 3 PM.

If you want to order a cake, make sure to give them at least 7 days’ notice. They used to do fully custom cakes, but that’s currently paused. You can still order cakes using their main available flavors.

Chaupain Bakery

Another amazing bakery, Chaupin Bakery is known for their wide variety of French pastries. The out-of-this-world tarts and croissants are a can’t miss! And the yummy fruit Danishes and mini apple pie are excellent as well. While I haven’t tried their sandwiches yet, I have heard they are amazing. I’ve especially heard that the sunrise sandwich on their fresh baked croissant with a fried egg, bacon, and cheese is the best way to start your morning! 

One thing to note is that if you plan to visit, the location has limited seating in front of the shop, but there’s always the option to get it delivered. Luckily, it is super a convenient location to grab any bakery item you need and get out quickly! Another perk? They serve a variety of different coffees, and the service is fantastic!

Giselle’s Vegan Kitchen

For the crowd looking for something not so guilty, this is a great bakery! Wow! They’ve got amazing desserts that are healthy and keto-friendly. The sugar-free vegan donuts are really great, and the vegan brownie cookie dough cake is pretty awesome too. After trying the cookie dough, I’m now totally open to trying the other cakes and food. Honestly, you wouldn’t even be able to tell much of a difference between their vegan delicious donuts and traditional ones. The vegan keto brownie is pretty delicious as well!

You can create your own custom boxes with a variety of desserts and donuts, which is super fun. Cake orders can be placed in advance, making it easy to plan ahead. The shop is very clean, and the service and staff are truly the best.

Giana Bakery & Provisions

 

If you haven’t been to chef Danielle Kuhn’s bakery in Dana Point yet, you’re seriously missing out. She’s an OC native who crafts incredible sourdough right on-site—honestly, the oven here is always buzzing. You’ve got to try the kouign-amann or the iced morning buns, and trust me, even the toasts topped with ricotta, parmesan, wild mushrooms, and kale are next-level. And if you’re just looking for a tasty starter, you can’t go wrong with the fresh housemade bread with salted butter, warm biscuits with honey, or their fluffy focaccia. Definitely a must-visit spot for your next bakery run!
