There is nothing better than starting a Saturday morning off right. On days where your typical Starbucks coffee is just not enough, I highly recommend having breakfast at Cinnamon Productions in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Cinnamon Productions in the El Paseo Plaza next to the RSM library has charm, quality food and small-town service. Cinnamon Productions offer a full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, family seating in the spacious café or outside in the patio, and a wide assortment of baked goods.

I first came across this place since it is within walking distance of my apartment. It was the perfect place for an after dinner dessert (it took us quite awhile to narrow down what we wanted). The bakery cafe offers all desserts imaginable from cinnamon rolls to every type of cookie possible. Assortments of muffins and bread are also among the vast selection.

So whether you are trying to appease your sweet tooth, craving a hearty breakfast, or just looking for quality food for any time of day---this local bakery cafe is for you.

Personally---after a long day of meetings and business folks---the homey, small town feel while I enjoy a piece of snickers pie is just icing on the cake (they sell those too). For more information and a menu, please check out: www.cinnamon-productions.com
