After three and a half years, Kian Moltaji\u2019s bakery will be open five consecutive days a week, Wednesday through Sunday. Diotima will open earlier Wednesday through Friday at 8 a.m., while weekend service will begin at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

Moltaji announced the expanded days and hours on his Instagram, saying, \u201c\u2018The most common question I\u2019ve gotten in the past three and a half years is, \u2018Why do you open so late, and why don\u2019t you open more days?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Diotima began as a sought-after online pastry outfit before opening a brick-and-mortar shop in Mission Viejo in 2023. The bakery has built a devoted following for its laminated pastries, seasonal offerings and Moltaji\u2019s meticulous approach to baking, drawing customers from across the region via word of mouth and his popular Instagram and TikTok channels.<\/p>\n
