Best Bakery and Cake Shops in San Clemente

"If the antiquated surfboards hanging in the rafters overhead aren’t a dead giveaway, it’s safe to say that Orange Inn has been a hallmark cafe along California’s legendary Pacific Coast Highway since 1931, when it was largely utilized as a refreshment stop for the Irvine Ranch cowboys and field hands. Eventually, as more folks traveled south of Los Angeles for the last few undeveloped stretches of coastline, this historic seaside bungalow would gain notoriety for its fresh hand-squeezed orange juice, original fruit smoothies, and organic coffees. Sunset Magazine has voted Orange Inn the best coffee and breakfast in town and Esquire Magazine crowned them, “one of the ten best roadside restaurants in America."

"Founder/president of Slow Food Temecula Valley, chef and owner Leah Di Bernardo’s chic artisan cafe has been a local mainstay since 2011.

Open daily from 8 a.m."

"Farm to table is good any time of day, but there’s definitely something special about fresh eggs, meat, and locally grown veggies that make farm to table brunch especially good. There’s no better place in Temecula for this than EAT, also located right off Old Town Front Street. They even list every farm they pull their ingredients from."

"Beginning the moment you step inside, Moulin transports you to France with the smell of fresh, artisan breads, the sight of fresh chickens turning in the rotissoire, and the sound of people speaking French.

Either way, both are an ideal setting for a warm summer’s evening spent across from your special someone, and who knows what’ll taste sweeter, true loves kiss or the touch of cream on your lips after enjoying a delicate pastry – guess there’s only one way to find out."
