Esmerelda and the cake decorator rock!!! They created the perfect cupcake birthday bouquet for my kid and it was a hit! We devoured the delicious moist fluffy cupcakes and also got all sorts of compliments on the beautiful piece of work. Not only are we in for the donuts, decorated sugar cookies, and tamales. We are now your new cake and cupcake fans! Thank you :)

This place is a real gem. I’ve tried several different donuts and their chocolate chip cookies. Their choc chip cookie is amazing! I’m no baker, but it tastes heavier on the vanilla which is a plus for me. The younger lady who’s there is much friendlier than the older one, but that’s definitely not going to sway my 5 star rating.

I’m surprised to see so many good reviews. I’ve been going here for a couple of years now purely out of convenience. Their donuts are sometimes oily and crusty and I’m pretty sure they make up their own prices at the cash register. It seems to be a different price every time I go and its usually pretty expensive for a half dozen of donuts and a couple of coffees. The coffee is good and some of the employees there are nice.

Such a pleasure to do business with! They got everything perfect on our wedding cake and wedding cake pops! My nephew said it was the best wedding he’s been to – he’s 6. A little late for delivery, but it was all good in the end. Thank you thank you !

The BEST! Family-owned operation that gives it their ALL — they have a HUGE variety of donuts AND other pastries, cookies, cakes, breads — everything to make your mouth water! I support this business 100% and was so glad when the new owners took it over a few years ago. GO! You won’t be disappointed! They also have freshly-made tamales on the weekend!

I love their pan dulce, specially the Conchas, always fresh and perfect. I buy them for my office peeps and they race to the break room when they know there is pan dulce. I have also bought three bday cakes from Aliso Bakery and Donuts. Estrella does an amazing job decorating the cakes. I always order tres leches cakes, they are delicious. The right balance of sweetness and moist. And the tamales have lots of chicken and meat. YUM!!!

Amazing cakes and cookies. Custom cakes are really well-priced, delicious, and beautiful. They made a custom Winnie the Pooh birthday cake and exceeded expectations! They told me they’ll do cakes based on kids’ drawings. Good pastries too.

Yummmm! You need more? OK, great selection of handmade pastries, cookies, sweet treats, and oh yeah — donuts. I’m hesitant to tell you about the delicious homemade tamales are but yes, they’re fantastic! But, they only have them Fri-Sun. Family run operation that pays attention to the small details. Fantastic service, always happy and greets you with a smile. Custom orders available for any cookies or treats. Amazing custom cakes to help celebrate that special event or birthday. I haven’t tried the flan but that is on my list of must-try!

I’ve been coming to this donut place for quite a while now, i just never bothered to check in. i had to say, hands down, one of the best places ive been for donuts. they are always fully stocked with fresh donuts and most mornings they are packed. that is a good indicator that the place is a great place. the cool thing is that they dont only carry donuts but other type of sweets and pastries! they also sale cakes and you can pre make your cake as well. as far as the price, i think its because its located in aliso viejo that the prices are a bit high, but to the regulars around the area that is considered normal. even then, regardless of the price, i keep buying from here because its literally close to my job and the are really goooooood! did i mention that they also sale tamales! that is right!

Contacted a bunch of places to request for a quote for my husband’s birthday cake and this place was the most affordable. Originally though, they told me that I could pick the cake up when they open at 7AM, but this somehow changed and I was told the decorator won’t be in until 10AM. However, that’s fine. Everything still worked out perfectly. Still giving them 5 stars for the beautiful birthday cake they made and the free candles they gave me. The employees are also very nice. Definitely coming back here for our future cake needs.

I’m new to the area so a friend of mine recommended this place. I stopped in for the first time and got a coffee and ham and cheese croissant. It was delicious! I’ve been in there several other times as well each time trying something different. The tamales are delicious as well! Great service as well. All the girls are lovely.

I picked up a cake for my sister’s 18th birthday and I was so happy to see that they had the cutest black and white Chanel cake! The cake was delicious. Not too sweet, just the right amount of sweetness. I used to buy cakes for my family members birthdays at Susie cakes but those cakes are way over priced. I am so glad I found this little gem in Aliso!

I used to work at Cosmo’s next-door back in the mid-2000s and hadn’t been back since then until this past 4th of July. What an improvement! They now sell cookies which look delicious and have a wide variety of donuts, in my opinion the best selection in AV. I ordered a chocolate mousse custard-filled donut with strawberries on top and it’s one of the best donuts I’ve ever had. If you’re in the area and in the mood for some donuts, look no further than this place.

it was a happy accident that I found Aliso Bakery. I read positive reviews and headed in to see if they could accommodate a last minute gender reveal party cake. I was floored that they could make my custom cake in less than 24hrs notice! Our cake was ready even earlier than expected and was exactly to a T what we wanted. All guests at our party just loved the cake and most of all, it was SO delicious!!! I was really blown away by Aliso Bakery and would absolutely use them again and look forward to!

The donuts are fluffy, yummy, fresh and many to choose from. The French Baguette is soft to touch, fresh and the best bread in town. The tamales are fresh, perfectly spiced, authentic and come in a nice variety of flavors. The staff there are soooooo nice, patience, informative on all the products they serve and make.

We came here after stopping by Starbucks over the weekend for a quick bite to eat. We ordered their filled croissants– we bought the sausage jalapeño and the ham & cheese. The croissant was buttery, flaky and so so yummy. They filled these suckers up with meat, jalapenos, and cheese. I feel like typical croissant filled items at donut shops are skimmpy and don’t have a lot of filling. This place totally debunked that myth for me. I have never been in this shop before, but they had such an eclectic mix of baked goods; cupcakes, custard filled horns, pan dulce, cupcakes, challah, cake pops, etc… this will definitely be my go-to stop for a sweet treat
