29 Best Bakeries in Santa Ana

“The best bread probably in orange county maybe even so cal. Delicious. Man could definitely live on bread alone from here. They make many types, each with passion and care to make them the finest. Besides being available in the finest restaurants arround you can also get it at some farmers markets and a few specialty shops.“

“A long overdue review! The BEST cake in OC! After living in Taipei I miss having dessert that isn't overly sweet and that has a variety of interesting flavors. I'm so glad I found Bakery 101! Their black Forest cake was divine, but my new favorite is the taro cake!! So light, and it tastes so fresh and real! Not synthetic like the flavors next door at Crumble!!! Bakery 101 even has lilikoi flavor and tres leches!

What I also love is that for gifts, instead of one giant birthday cake I can order an assortment of small cakes of many flavors to give to my friends.

The owner is so kind and you can tell she puts her heart into what she makes 🤍🍰“

“Blown away, this is my second time buying these cookies . I am gluten sensitive and these are so delicious, the matcha doodle is by far the best cookie I’ve ever had I’ll absolutely try everything on the menu . Thank you for existing :)“

“They were very responsive to emails. I first filled out web inquiry and got a reply on the same day. They were booked for tasting appointment very fast so make sure you contact them early as they only have appointments available during the week Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays between 1pm and 6pm. Saturdays from 9am-4pm. The tasting appointment was an hour long and it's FREE!!! Some other places I looked at will charge you for tasting and even though the tasting charge might be deducted from final order, it made me feel much better when there was no cost to start with as wedding was already expensive. The place was a little bit hard to find since it was office-like looking from outside and I thought it was bakery-like. They have parking lot. My husband and I tried so many different favors of cake and they were so delicious. We had a hard time deciding which ones to get because we had more than three favorite. During the appointment, they also showed you what style of cake they offered and its pricing. We went with the basic so there was no add-on cost, but they can custom-make your order if you show them pictures of what you want with additional cost (and trust me the price is fair). We ended up ordering a 3-tier ice in white buttercream cake with 12" white with mango, 9" almond with cappuccino & chocolate mousse, and 6" mocha chip with rosy mauve ribbon around tiers for 100 guests for my wedding. They emailed us a week before the wedding to confirm there was no changes and the order was correct. The cake was delivered on time and was decorated with fresh flowers my florist provided on site by the delivery staff. (If you have cake topper, you can either drop it off to the shop or have it installed on site by delivery staff. Either way, you need to let them know in advance so they can make sure your cake is structurally stable for the cake topper weight.) My wedding cake looked pretty and it tasted good. I received lots of compliment from the guests. On the side note, they would charge you more if you use American Express credit card. And you only need to pay deposit on the site but they don't have online system for you to pay the remaining online. Since we didn't have cake topper to drop off and did not want to make another trip just to pay the balance, we paid it in full the same day of tasting. This would be two suggestions for improvement, but they still deserve a 5-star for their service, the quality (taste/look), and the friendly price. Ohh and did I mention that you do receive a complimentary one year anniversary cake? That's for sure a big PLUS since my husband and I were too busy to have our own wedding cake at our wedding. We are very looking forward to our one year anniversary! All you need to do is to contact them 3 weeks prior to your one year anniversary to place the order. Give them the date of your wedding and the name the order is under and they will pull up your file and place the order. Yup it's 3 weeks, not 2 weeks. They are definitely getting busier and that's how good they are! If you are still looking for wedding cake or cake for any event, this is where I would recommend.“

“this place is AMAZING!! the staff there are very friendly. they are very quick & their food & drinks are amazing. the only thing i would have to complain about are the times. there are some days when the coffee shop closes too early. besides the hours, this place is highly recommend.“

“The store is so warm and inviting and smells like warm bread. I’ve heard so many great things about this bakery, and was glad to see I could pre-order online at their website. I love how there’s an option to customize and add toppings of your choice. This is probably the best bread I’ve had in the states. I love sourdough bread, but sometimes it’s a bit too tangy/sour. The sourdough here is not tangy nor sour. I usually get indigestion after eating bread sometimes but I feel great:) This place truly lives up to all the positive reviews, and I’m so glad I discovered such a hidden gem! My mom also says she only wants to eat bread from here from now on? I do not have any photos because we started consuming the bread as soon as we got into the car! It’s that good! I hope Moses Bread continues to fluorish and have amazing business. I look forward to ordering again soon!:)“

“Used the Too Good To Go app for the first time and was blown away by Bad Bakers items! Haven’t had kolaches in years and these did not disappoint, and the lumpia was incredible!! Got a good variety of donuts and I have to say the “couch potato” cronut was my favorite. I definitely trying this place out whether it’s on the app or not!“

“Best churros ever! Always fresh to order. Perfect crispness and just the right amount of sugar n cinnamon. Their atole de elote is so tasty too and they go perfect with the churros. Can’t forget their dipping sauce which are Lechera, chocolate, and cajeta. So yummy! Oh and their platano frito with Lechera drizzled on top, omg they are awesome! The bunelos are a great size and super yummy. They also have on the weekends sometimes tres leches or arroz con leche in a little cup that are excellent. So many options here. The best of the best!!!“

“BEWARE OF homeless people and tweakers . Definitely come visit during the day here. Coffee is delicious, my favorite is the horchata/Vietnamese coffee. i had to take a break from this place because i would spend too much money here lol. ive gotten a few pastries from here and live up to the taste. the workers are so sweet and have compassion for people. this place makes me want to open my own coffee shop.“

“I can't believe I didn't think to leave a review sooner! This is my husband and my FAVORITE cheesecake of all time. I've been getting an annual cheesecake for his birthday each year since 2019 :) We've tried a few topping styles but the fruit is our absolute favorite. And it's massive! The box is almost 1 square foot ? Feels like it weighs at least 10 lbs.

Rich, creamy and delicious! Eric and his team are super friendly and I've never had an issue with my order. Can't wait to enjoy this with my hubby tonight ??“

“Todo muy sabroso y muy buena atención..“

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven“

“Not only is the pan dulce delicious, it’s freshly baked daily and priced reasonably. The pieces are twice the size of what you get at a local Mexican supermarket and the staff are always friendly and helpful. It’s a small spot and may get crowded at times so be patient it’s worth the wait.“

“BEST BAKERY EVER KNOWING MY AUNT IS NOW THE MANAGER IS AMAZING SHE IS SO NICE I LOVE I LOVE IT THEIR, THERI BRED IS AMAZING AND DELICOUS THE CONCHAS ARE SO TASTY I WAAS BORN ON 2012 AND WHEN I WAS 4 I TIRED A CONCHA IT CHANGED MY LIFE!! AMAZING BREAD 5 “

“Esta bueno el pan doña pachita Saludos desde chicago soy Rene si se acuerda“

“This place has been here for a million years! I moved and away and hadn't been in the neighborhood for about 30 years... it was a pleasant surprise to see it alive and well. It is owner operated, and they're a major reason why this place is so popular... we all grew up seeing them... they've always been really nice.“

“(Translated by Google) The best churros in the area and still a very cheap price, highly recommended! The gentleman is very kind.The best churros in all the area, the churra man is an amazing person and he's always happy!(Original)Los mejores churros de la zona y aun precio muy económico súper recomendado! El señor es muy amable.The best churros in all the area, the churra man is an amazing person and he’s always happy!“

“Best cakes ever! 5☆ been a customer for over 10yrs.“

“Stumbled upon this bakery last week because I was looking for wedding cookies! They didn't have wedding cookies but they had the most SOFTEST pan dulce I've ever eaten before. I also tried their dense pineapple cake which was so moist and delicious; I absolutely had to save this place to my favorite on my maps. They're also open late which I really appreciate!!! The 2 young women I met each time I've been here are warm and welcoming. Prices are fair and I hope they keep it that way too since times are tough lately. I bought 3 pan dulce and 1 piece of cake for $4.25. Definitely a treat! 5 out of 5 would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Their ham cheese egg is really good. My son tried and says it's 👍 Gave them a $15 tip. Like many Cambodians owned donut shops, they work hard for their donuts with egg prices flours and the inflation going up, support small businesses.“

“(Translated by Google) Yvette used to work there, she was so nice, super friendly, great conversation. I wish he was still working there when he was there. Everything was perfect now that he doesn't work there. Is not the same. I wish he would work there again.?? I wish I could have his phone number ?(Original)Yvette solía trabajar allí, era muy agradable, súper amigable, buena conversación. Desearía que todavía estuviera trabajando allí cuando estaba allí. Todo fue perfecto ahora que no trabaja allí. No es lo mismo. Desearía que trabajara allí nuevamente.?? ojala podia tener su numero de telefono ?“

“great service and food. recommend this place“

“I informed the manager Yulie and her coworker Kaylie that I dropped my cinnamonn roll on the floor. They immediately resolved the issue with excellent service. I was compensated with a hot and fresh cinnamon roll straight out the oven! They are the best! Every time I come they have great customer service.“

“They gave me a slice of this cake (the presumé one) and it is very delicious tres leches chocolate flan and chesse kaque. Very rich

They gave me a slice of this cake (el presumido) and it is very good
with three milk chocolate flan and cheese kaque. Very good“

“Small mom and pop shop, pretty small but overall very welcoming vibes once you get past the screen door if your ever in the area or have a long day at the DMV definitely recommend you passing by and getting their pan dulce and a small cup of coffee or a champurrado. You won’t be disappointed at the soft and gentle taste provided by this pan dulce!!“

“Man pan dulce has gotten expensive! But then again, what hasn't? The pan dulce is pricey, but at least you get large sized bread that is pretty good! $4 for a cheesecake bread is on the high side, but the flavor makes up for it. As a matter of fact, I'll see you later. Going on a pan dulce run!“
