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.“

“I visited from San Diego with my mom and we tried several bakeries during our trip. The Moses bread was our favorite. It seems to be a small family-run business that bakes bread based on online orders. Their sourdough is definitely fresh and beautifully made with care and passion. I highly recommend trying their bread—just be sure to reserve online before walking in! I am definitely coming back when I visit OC again“

“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.“

“This is an excellent place to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. It is impeccably clean, and the service is amazing. Everything they sell is fresh, love anything with ube! Their pork and veggie empanadas are so delicious. Run, don't walk, this place is worth the calories.“

“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.“

“We stopped by after dinner around 8pm on a Friday and found a nice crowd already gathered! Churros are made fresh in their food truck, and you place your order at the stand next to it.

They usually accept cards, but their Square reader was down during our visit, so we made a quick run to the CVS across the street for cash. The prices are incredibly affordable, and for a group of four, we ordered 10 churros, 2 dipping sauces, and a buñuelo.

Everything came out warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I wish I had taken a photo of the churros, but we devoured it all before I even thought to reach for my phone—definitely check out other reviewers' pics!“

“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“

“(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!

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“ordered a chocolate twist doughnut. It was a little bit super sweet for me tasted like they took a chocolate donut and added a glaze on top of it. If you like Krispy Kreme you’d probably like this place but I’m probably gonna go back to Dunkin.“
