Diotima Bakehouse and its pastry chef Kian! I mean, who wouldn't? This guy is a magician! I'm pretty sure he has a wand hidden somewhere in his kitchen, because the way he mixes those Persian flavors with butter and flour is pure magic! The classic iced latte with a splash of dark chocolate. If Mary Poppins had a coffee addiction, this would be her go-to drink! It's like a spoonful of sugar, but with caffeine instead of medicine. And don't even get me started on the pastries! They're so delicious, they should come with a warning label: "May cause addiction and weight gain." It's like Kian took a piece of France, added a touch of Iran, and turned it into the perfect breakfast treat. The croissant is perfectly buttery and flakey, just like a good croissant should be. And the best part? Nothing is too sweet, but perfectly balanced. It's like Kian knows the exact ratio of sugar to butter to flour to make your taste buds dance with joy. So, if you want to impress your girlfriend, take her to Diotima Bakehouse. Who knows, maybe Chef Kian will teach you a few magic tricks in the kitchen!

I follow Kian on Instagram @kianthechef. Haven't tried any of his baked goods here yet but Kian is a rising star chef. Happy to leave him 5 ⭐️ here, so it encourages you and others to check out his new cafe. I post a few photos of his test bakes 🥮 from his Instagram here.

If you're heading to Diotima bakery on a Saturday, be prepared for a line before they even open! That's how irresistible their pastries are. 😍 I tried their croissants, and wow, they're not just delicious; they have this amazing mouthfeel that's hard to resist. 🥐 I opted for the ham and cheese croissant, and it was just the right balance – not too salty, and oh-so-buttery. 😋 What makes this place even better is Chef Kian and his staff. They're super friendly and happy to chat about their pastries. 👨‍🍳 I've learned my lesson; next time, I'm going early or hitting them up during the week. Can't wait to indulge again! 🕑🗓️

This is an amazing bakery to try. You’re welcomed by the kindness of its owner, chef Kian. The pastries are so delicious. The pain au chocolate is one of my favorites picks here. I paired it up with a classic iced latte with a splash of vanilla. The Diotima cake has multiple layers that blend so well all together. Must have a slice!

I heard about this place from a friend, so i went to check it out and i loved it so much. all the pastries and sweets were spectacular. my personal favourite is the vanilla custard croissant. The owner is very kind and friendly and always has a smile. The staff were just as friendly and kind. I recommend this place to everyone, local or from afar, you will not regret.

One of the most delicious croissants I have ever had! So flaky and masterfully laminated. All of the pastries looked really tasty, and there was a great variety! We also had iced lattes and the espresso was smooth and rich. Beyond how delicious everything was, the staff were so kind. They gave us a sample of the Orange Blossom Bostock, unprompted, after we had sat down to enjoy our food. It was also great! We aren't local, or we would be back again and again. Do yourself a big favor and check this place out! Do be aware they have odd hours, so make sure you check them before you head over.

Friendly service, cozy interior, and delicious food! The croissants are easily the best I've had. We tried the plain, chocolate, almond, and custard croissants, as well as pear tart and strawberry custard croissant. I arrived 35 minutes before open and was second in line.

I’ve been dying to have a local bakery that serves pastries that you would find in Europe and I have finally found one! Diotima Bakehouse is a wonderful bakery and the owner is incredibly talented with professional training in Paris. The pastries are not only beautiful and delicious, but they are masterfully made to be light and airy and you can taste the labor of love that went into making them.
