42 Best Bakeries in Santa Ana

“Moonbird Bakery was the perfect choice for our cake. They created a beautiful and delicious cake for my son’s engagement party. The cake was perfect and everyone was shocked that it was vegan and gluten free. They were quick and efficient with communication. You can tell they take pride in all of the baked goods they create. We will definitely be ordering from them again.“

“Todo muy sabroso y muy buena atención..“

“Absolutely love Nordic Cheesecake! I have gotten stuff from them a couple of times and they are always so helpful and accommodating— plus the food is great! This last time I got two custom cakes and the fresh fruit tarts, everything was a big hit!“

“Moses Bread in Tustin is excellent. The bagels are fresh, well fermented, and full of flavor with a great crust and soft interior. I’m very picky about my bagels and this bagel was perfect! Definitely one of the best sourdough places in SoCal!“

“Fresh-baked pastries with some really creative flavors. The blue corn sourdough is a must-try, the gochujang onion croissant roll and ube cruffin were also excellent. Coffee and matcha were great too.

The shared courtyard seating have a nice, relaxed vibe for a late breakfast. Just note they’re closed Monday–Wednesday.“

“Dey’s Donut and Croissant Shop is such a unique and refreshing spot! What makes it stand out is that it’s not just a bakery it feels almost like a gym café with an impressively large variety of food and drinks to choose from. Whether you’re craving something light after a workout or treating yourself to a fresh pastry, they’ve got you covered.

The drinks are definitely a highlight here. They use fresh fruit in their blends, and you can taste the quality in every sip. Smoothies, juices, and specialty drinks are made with care and never feel watered down or artificial.

On the food side, the donuts and croissants are perfectly balanced flaky, fresh, and flavorful. Pairing them with one of their fresh fruit drinks makes for a satisfying combo whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, a midday snack, or a post gym pick-me-up.

Overall, Dey’s offers the best of both worlds: a wide range of tasty, high quality options in a setting that feels energizing and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

“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.“

“First time for trying their cakes, but gotta say, their weekend only Croissant selections are sooo authentic. Fresh, fluffy and flavorful.

Back to the cakes, we have taro and Black Forest(so many choices), way above average and can tell the true bakery soul. Moisture, no headache sweet, the cream is just so right. Need to digest the impulse sugar cravings, till next time, will try more.“

“Me and my gf came across their truck in Anaheim off Euclid and ball. Spotted them a few times before but never got to stop for some churros. Finally tried them out and it was delicious! The guy working was so kind and gave us a free sample of churros with some dip😁“

“Thank you, Mrs. Fields, for your after-sales customer service. Even when it was the delivery service's mess, Mrs. Fields stepped up and assisted. Keep up making the world a sweeter place.“

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

“Got to say, quite interesting way to get bread (but it has been their policy so must respect and follow it). I am in craving for great baguette or bread lately and been to several within this week. Ran across this place and wonder how good it is since they don’t have store (only at farmer markets in weekend) and you can order online and pick up your order on Saturdays only from 9-2pm plus any breads and pastries that they have left over or on hand. I did my order on Wednesday and so excited to pick them up. Parking is good and the location is more of small warehouse type of area. Small front area (and back is office) is where they have all the orders for pick up and a small glass box filled with baked goods that are available to purchase and a table filled with breads (not much but varies choice and type of breads). Got some pastries and pick up my ordered. Cash or vermo ONLY. Got 2 baked goods for $8 (which is quite reasonable since it’s big in size). Breads are great, highly recommended to reheat so the outside can be crispy while the inside is soft. Great breads for sure…high up there in quality and with the cost, quite great deal. But the best part was the pastries, I should get more but i only $10 cash so…it was simply delicious, I think I ate one of them within 2mins. One bite was shockingly amazed so kept on biting til gone while driving. The taste and the favor was well combined and delicious. Very well delivered to curiosity of both crunchy crust and soft and fluffy layer of the dough. The cream and whatever it was (I didn’t asked) was just to die for (for me at least). The cinnamon was simple well make, not rich or too sweet. Perfectly & rig it amount of sweet and soft. Yum!!! Definitely will comeback for more on the pastries for sure. Service was great too. Too bad, only open on Saturday morning and it’s in Santa Ana…abit far and during my (still) sleep time but will make an effort to go for great pastries and breads“

“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.“

“(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!“

“El Metate Panadería is a charming local bakery with a welcoming vibe and friendly staff. While most of the staff speak little English, they’re kind, patient, and eager to help with a smile. The display is full of delicious Mexican pastries, all freshly made and smelling amazing. From conchas to empanadas, everything looks and tastes homemade. The quality of the baked goods is impressive, especially for the low prices. It’s a great spot to grab a quick treat or a box to share. The place has a no-frills, authentic feel that adds to its charm. Don’t expect fancy service, but expect to leave satisfied. It’s a hidden gem for anyone who loves traditional pan dulce. Highly recommended for a casual and tasty bakery stop.“

“I live 20ish mintues away but i always love getting pan dulce from here ! The smell is alway incredible in the morning. Really love their rosca de reyes they make around the hoildays. Just got my today and it was super warm and delicious 🫧“

“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.“

“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“

“I ordered the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant with Avocado, a blended Coffee (great size), and a Glazed donut; everything was tasty and reasonably priced. I’d much rather come here and support a local shop than the other chain spots nearby. I had a great experience all around and appreciated the kind, quick service.“

“Had the gluten free chocolate chip cookie tonight. Best chocolate chip cookie I’ve had in years. Better than my grandma’s non-GF cookie. In addition. I dare say, it’s better than mine and I owned a gluten free bakery.“

“This pandering is real good & fresh the environment is sketchy because of the homeless but this place is always busy so wait time can depend but to me its worth the wait but if you want bollios you have to go when they 1st open those go quick and they make an abundance“

“great service and food. recommend this place“

“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 “

“This review is only on the bread as it was a X’mas gift. At first I didn’t understand how on earth a loaf of bread can cost $18 and being packaged as a gift?Well, I followed the instruction on best way to enjoy it. I finished 1/2 loaf in December and froze the other 1/2.Now it’s January, I took out the other 1/2 and let it defrost on its own over the counter, then sliced a thick slice, gently toasted and enjoyed it daily. Now, I’m eating the last piece. ?This is by far the BEST bread I have ever had!!! It’s unbelievable how well it freezes and it tastes as good as fresh! It is worth every dollar of it. I would get more except there is only one location and it very far. I will put it on my wishlist to Santa.?‍?“

“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.“

“Esta super bien tanto como el café y los panes, y más la amabilidad del personal“

“El Panadería Pastelería is a hidden gem for pastry lovers. They offer a great selection of tasty pastries at very affordable prices—definitely a bang for your buck! The staff is friendly and helpful, and while knowing a bit of Spanish makes things easier, the warm service and quality treats make it well worth a visit either way. Love coming to spots like this that feel authentic and budget-friendly!

Free parking!!

Cash Only !!!“

“I highly recommend their custom cakes, especially for themed events! I recently ordered a Cielito Lindo-themed cake, and it came out absolutely perfect, even better than I imagined. The design was spot-on, detailed, and beautiful, and the flavor was just as impressive. They truly listened to what I wanted“

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

“100x100 lo recomiendo mucho“

“the staff is always friendly the donuts is always fresh the coffee always fresh ly made I would highly recommend to any one go there and get the best donuts they are extremely good every body treat you so nice they give you 100& satisfaction it very nice place to eat“

“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!“

“Esta super bien tanto como el café y los panes, y más la amabilidad del personal“

“simple mente Las mejores un postre desde jalisco para el mundo gracias a ustedes chuyitas jericallas que lo asen posible👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 sisisisip“

“On Saturday 04/23/22 I bought a small cake, the person who attend me was name jazmin. She mention told me that the cake was tres leches, but when we cut the cake it’s flavor was chocolate. I didn’t think much and decided to keep it. But today 04/26/22 I bought another cake, again jazmin told me that the cake was chocolate bread flavor with mocha. When I cut the cake it’s flavor was vanilla cake with mocha. This time I did call the bakery and explain what happen, they told me to go back and they would give a chocolate cake. Upon my arrival to the bakery, jazmin was rude and didn’t want to give me a cake but instead give me the refund for the cake. On both occasions, she was rude and seemed like she was on a hurry. Would answer questions in regards the cakes with attitude and rudeness. I have been a faithful costumer for years to this bakery, and love the pastries and cakes. But this new person, needs to get better training or be replace.“

“Rosa's is an authentic artisan bakery. The bread, cookies and traditional baked goods are an art that's not being passed down. Rosa's is a true gem in the city I found just by chance and am so thankful I did. Everything is fresh and they also sell oatmeal and cofee. I can buy a gallon of milk or gelatin or a whole flan on my way to work or home. Not sure why people complain about the prices when they are competitive, prices are up everywhere. I pay $10 for a loaf at the Jewish bakery and a baguette at the Vietnamese bakery is $5...the bread at the market might be five-ten cents cheaper but they have no substance-density. Take care of jems like this they are disappearing...children of the owners dont wanna be bakers or chefs...be nice and enjoy this place it has so much to offer...“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“
