I've been meaning to try out Diotima for a while, so when I found myself in the neighborhood this…read moremorning 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 :)

Diotima Bakehouse, an amazingly delicious bakery, is located off of Los Alisos and Jeronimo in the…read morecity 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.

Recently, I tried one of their seasonal drinks: the Very Strawberry Cream. There's strawberry foam on top with strawberry jam around the cup. I really loved the combination of all the flavors, but I would ask for less of the jam next time. Parking is super easy to find, there is a bathroom, reliable wifi. I love interacting with the staff. They're all really nice. I saw one of the baristas run out to their car once and then came back to give their pokemon cards to one of the kiddos in the cafe. It was such a sweet interaction to see. The cafe itself is also really cute! A few tables to work or catch up with a friend. Highly recommend!

But I go through phases where I'll get their raff coffee or the bananna cream mocha. I also like their short and salty. I've had the bumble coffee but it wasn't for me. Their in-house syrups are pretty good and coffee/espresso generally taste like a smooth pull. There has been maybe twice where the vanilla oat latte was a bit lacking on the vanilla flavor but besides that they're generally consistent and good. The app is really useful too if you're in a hurry in the mornings! I'd definitely recommend this place.

I've been here a few times before and have always enjoyed both their coffee and matcha. This visit, I couldn't decide between the two, so I was excited to see the Matcha Americano on the menu. It's essentially an Americano topped with matcha instead of milk, making it a great option for someone like me who is lactose intolerant. The drink had a nice bold coffee and matcha flavor. I did ended up adding a little honey when I got home since I wanted a little bit of sweetness. I also have to give credit to the service. For a holiday weekend, I was surprised there was only one employee working, especially with a steady line of customers coming in. My drink took a little longer than usual, but considering the barista was taking orders, making drinks, and running the register all by herself, she was incredibly efficient and kept everything moving smoothly. Overall, another great visit, and I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

The location itself is very small, located right off El Toro but can easily be missed if you don't know where to turn off. The line is almost always quite lengthy when we are there but the staff is great and the drinks typically come out quite quickly. My go to drink is the iced Snowy Mocha and it has great flavor and is always made to perfection. The pricing here is also quite good and they offer a substantial rewards program as well that adds up quickly. Although they have since opened a newer location closer to home in Garden Grove for me, I still prefer this location so far overall for consistency and overall pleasantness. I am a satisfied customer of theirs and hope to return again many times to come.

You order at the register and they'll bring your order to you when it's ready. I got the hojicha latte and added sweetener. The flavor was really good but it was all ice and not fully filled the cup.

The mango cream bread had a good amount of cream and the filling was delicious. The chocolate cookie was good but so hefty. I ordered the matcha cheesecake and original cheesecake thinking it was the soft and fluffy texture but it had a thick consistency. The matcha was good with a very strong matcha flavor and the original had a slight lemon flavor. I enjoyed all the food and sweets here, but a bit disappointed with their drink portion.

We honestly didn't realize it was tucked inside a religious/community center. There were a lot of people studying there, and the space itself was really open and spacious. We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!

After today, I don't think I'll be coming back because of both the poor customer service interaction as well as horrible tasting drink. Upon entering, I asked the male barista if they had an Iced Pandan Matcha Latte because that's what I ordered last time and he said yes. Because of that, I told him I'd like to order that again. There must have been a miscommunication because they gave me an Iced Pandan Latte (without matcha) and I told them about the mistake, as I've only ordered Pandan Matcha Lattes here before. When one male barista told the other male barista (who took my order) about the mistake, that guy shook his head in disbelief and annoyance and I felt extremely uncomfortable afterwards. After waiting for them to fix my drink, I left with an Iced Pandan Matcha Latte, but it tasted absolutely horrid. It tasted like straight up bitter grass and I literally paid $9.10 to just throw it away. It was so bad I am literally in the Starbucks parking lot ordering ANOTHER drink. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth in more than one way and I'm extremely unhappy with my experience here today. Also annoyed that I had to waste my time driving to another coffee shop because of this.
