Paderia Bakehouse
The cookies ($4) alone would be enough reason to visit this popular bakery. The chocolate walnut variety made with Belgian chocolate are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the peanut butter chocolate cookies are as rich as brownies. But don’t miss the other specialties, especially the iced horchata drinks ($4.25 to $5) and the Portuguese egg tarts ($2.50), flaky pastry shells filled with caramelized custard. 17935 MacArthur Blvd., 949-287-8931

Liberty Diamonds
Founded as a diamond cutter and wholesaler nearly 40 years ago, this fine jeweler run by a father and son still sells loose diamonds.
