It has been a while since I've been back to Bread Artisan for their pastries. Depending on the day, I either visit their Bakery location in Santa Ana (Saturdays only) or the Laguna Niguel Farmer's Market (Sundays only). They have a good variety of sweet and savory pastries. They are buttery, flaky, and delicious all around. Prices are fair for the quality. The people who help you out are always nice. They accept credit cards at both locations! read more

We tried this bakery since 61hundree had an insane line. There was no wait here but almost sold out. We had a pastry with Guava and an almost croissant. The guava was amazing, light and flaky and just right amount guava jam. The almond croissant was just too dense for my taste. Good quality either way. Would love to try the other pastries not time. Def hard to spot them though. Improve signage would be great! read more

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. read more

I was at a recent Park festival and someone had a table of bread from the Bread Artisan Bakery. I purchased a couple loaves of sourdough and multi grain bread and a few of their Kouign Amann (personal FAVE) and I regret not stocking up on more! They were so delicious and fresh! The gentleman that was at the table was very kind and explained to me that the bread had no preservatives and also told me how to store it if I wasn't going to eat it right away. I really can't wait to get my hands on some more. I recently reached out to them from their website and asked if they did delivery within the US. Unfortunately, they are not there yet but hopefully soon! There are many stores that carry their bread already, including Trader Joe's! The great thing is if you go to their socials, they let you know where they will be as far as farmers markets, other events. This bread is a must try! read more

Great sour dough bread! Wonderful choices of bread in the store. She replied quickly to emails and requests. Also priced perfectly.

This is NOT a restaurant. It's a retail/primarily wholesale bakery. On Saturdays only they open their offices for retail pick up 9-2. They also sell at some farmers markets. The bread is amazing. I just got back from France, and it rivals any bread I got there. read more

This companies bread is awesome ! The sourdough is my absolute favorite. I grew up in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area and had what I thought was the best sourdough bread ever. There are numerous sourdough bread varieties available there . Most of them are really good. This company in Santa Ana has some of the best breads I've ever had . Their sourdough is as good if not better than any others . I've been a world traveler flying for TWA for 30 years (retired ) and I know bread . Trader Joe's carries some of their breads and I'm happy they do . Try their breads and you won't be disappointed, just the opposite. GREAT BREAD !!! They also have farmers markets in Laguna, Ladera Ranch , Laguna niguel read more

Very good rye sourdough with clean ingredients no preservative. I usually get them at trader joes. I spread almond butter or jam, yum.

Discovered them at a farmers market. From breads, dinner rolls, and baguettes, to pastries and cookies; all their stuff is great! read more

I buy their bread all the time at Trader Joe's. It's the real deal! My favorite is the olive & thyme.

Simply awesome, thank you for a great service. The place is clean. Products are amazing.!

I really liked the different type of breads. Why to invest a lot time making it or trying to make it when is freshly made every day? It was delicious. read more

Amazing breads and pastry options. We love everything we have tried here. The croissants are flaky and flavorful, baguettes soft but crunchy and jalapeño cheddar rolls have amazing texture and flavor. Highly recommend stopping in. Staff is always friendly and have recommended tasty new products for us to try. read more

I've tried two croissants (chocolate & almond), a cinnamon roll, and three different loaves of their bread so far. I won't stop until I try them all. The loaves are divine. Ever heard of having a green thumb? They have this, but for bread. The croissants are massive, but surprisingly didn't do it for me. That won't stop me from trying them again to make sure though...for...science. The cinnamon roll was less oily than most, it would probably be delicious heated up (same with croissants). But...the loaves. Lovely big loaves. Lovely little rolls. Don't question the carbs. They don't matter here. Chef's...or should I say Baker's...kiss! Plus, the people who work there are so helpful and nice. I thought I loved bread before, and then I tried this place! Did I mention they make good bread? read more

My favorite! On Sundays at the Laguna Niguel Farmer's market, my mind's telling me... "You gotta stand in that line and get some to take home. It's worth the wait. You gotta." First, they are so friendly and patient with the customers. They get the line moving, yet when you get to the front it doesn't feel like they are rushing you. 5 stars - Croissant pastries. Any of them. Just get any of them. They have fruit or savory fillings and their croissant dough has a good flake. The one they sell out of quickly, is also my favorite, the gruyere caramelized onion croissant tart. For this, I recommend not sharing with anyone. That's right, I said no sharing. They can get their own. You will want the whole thing to yourself. 5 stars - Bread. My favorites are their sourdough because its got that slight chew you want in a fermented dough. The olive bread rolls are not overpowering because they keep the olives whole. They have so many more baked goods I haven't tried. Sometimes I sacrifice not ordering one of my favorite items, so I can try something new. And I never walk away disappointed in that choice. Everything is quality made here. read more

The best sourdough! We we're driving through and decided to stop by to stock up on some bread for the week. Of course you know I had to get some chocolate chip cookies too. All I can say is that I wish I lived closer because the bread is so incredibly delicious and the people who run the shop couldn't be nicer. If you haven't already, you've got to try this place out! read more

My wife says their Kouign Annan is the best she has ever had! She is the expert. I love it too. It is rich and buttery! Also their Epis multigrain s beautiful and delicious. There is no ambiance because this is a wholesale bakery. Do not drive there without checking online. They are only open for retail. We ordered by 2pm on Wednesday, to pick up on Saturday. What a find! read more

Horrible customer service. Didn't even get to taste any of the product. Drove all the way down from Bellflower in traffic. Looking for a bread vendor for my food truck. Wanted to get a couple brioche hamburger buns. As I parked there was a promising sign outside the door stating fresh baked bread. Walked in, no smell of bread being baked, asked about the buns and was quickly turned away, only takes online orders. Tried to state why I was there. I only wanted two buns to try out on my product, but no, couldn't even complete the sentence and shut down. Ok. Glad I found out this way rather than place a large order, have a mistake, and try to deal with poor customer service. read more

Not sure why this is even listed as a business cuz it's not one - I attempted to go here and they wouldn't even come to the door when I opened it (just hollered from over a partition) that they only sell at farmer's markets. IMHO this "listing" of a business at this address should be removed or adjusted as it is NOT a retail outlet. read more

These guys had the cutest little focaccia loaves at the Laguna Beach Saturday farmers market ($5). I wasn't necessarily looking for bread but this smaller size was perfect to entice me to try it out. I hadn't heard of these guys - sounds like the bakery is in Santa Ana which is closer to where I live but that it's not really a retail location read more

Ever since I went to moes and they told me about this place, I feel in love. I went here today around 2 and the lady in the red dress was so nice that she gave me an awesome deal. First time here and won't me my last. Recommend this place! read more

Horrible customer service... if you have a restaurant use someone else ... no accountability or responsibility for messing up orders

I was a little weary before picking up my order at Bread. I saw the mixed reviews online about the service and complaints that is a pick up only location in a warehouse. True, it is an online order pick up location at their warehouse on Saturdays, but they do have some ready made items to sell on the side. Every February they have their cherry chocolate sourdough bread that I look forward to getting. It's delicious! Highly recommend! Excellent service and no issues. Just note that if you do want to make a purchase at their shop, they only take cash or Venmo. read more

Their almond croissants are so delicious! I get them at the Yorba Linda & Irvine Regional Park Farmer's Market!

You need to know this is not a retail business at the Edinger street location. They only sell at Farmers Markets and wholesale. They did tell me they have a small Saturday market at this location in the morning. I came because of a review in the Times but don't waste your time coming to this location. read more

I do not like buying a bread from the grocery store so I stopped by this place in Laguna Niguel where they had a stand at Farmer's Market. It took a while for the guy to notice me, once he did, I asked for a german bread. He showed me a rather large loaf. My response was "that is huge!" His response was, "Well, thank you very much!" My husband cringed and I pretended I did not hear it... People behind me stared in disbelief. That is how unprofessional the comment and him was. The joke 1000 years old with a sexual content is semi-ok (no longer funny as it is that old), it is not appropriate when you dealing with a customer you have never met. Grow up, no one cares about your low ego needed boosting. He was at least 50+ talking like a 13 year old teenage boy. He had one job: to sell the bread and not make it disgusting and awkward and he failed even that. Needless to say, I will not be coming back. Carlsbad and Huntington beach have European style breads far superior to this clown. read more

If you're looking for some good bread, this is definitely a place to try. I went to the Patchwork Show Santa Ana Makers Festival this weekend and this bakery was there with a truck load of bread. They had a large variety of breads from Rye to fruit loafs. I was there a bit late due to walking around galavanting. I saw this bakery truck from the corner of my eyes and it seemed like a great idea. The best decision ever! I purchased a whole round of sourdough which was perfectly baked and just so good. (Made for an excellent dinner sandwich) The second loaf I bought was a fruit and nut bread with orange zest. I left this festival with so much joy and excitement to be leaving home with such deliciousness. Both breads were fairly inexpensive and cost an average of $15 for each loaf. I gotta say that those two loafs weighed about 20 pounds together, I definitely asked for another bag. read more

THE BEST GIFT!!! Kouign Amann...if you know, you know. This delicacy from Bretagne, France made by Bread Artisan Bakery is the best I've had....anywhere. Packed in a bag of 3, it's become my GO-TO GIFT and is always received with applause. My other favorite BREAD items are the epi baguette and campaouille loaf (I probably spelled that wrong)- so delicious!! I get these at the Laguna Beach farmer's market every Saturday. Thank you BREAD Artisan Bakery! read more

We get our BREAD from the Laguna Niguel Farmer's Market every Sunday. Their sliced sourdough has been my thing for about a year and even though i rarely stray from getting anything that isn't the sourdough, i have tried a few things and they're all fantastic. The tarts are all great. the carmelized onions one is a must-get. They usually run out so get one if they have it in stock because it's perfect. It's salty/sweet and just overall one of the best pastries I've ever had. Their butter croissants are a family favorite and my family loves their almond croissants as well. Basically, long story short -- get their bread. (oh and the folks who run the stand at the LN Farmers Market are some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered!) read more

I'm not a bread aficionado or anything but I got some of their sourdough from Mothers Market and am losing my mind it's sooooo good!

I drove for a half an hour only to find out it's not a retail store. Nowhere in their info does it say it's not a storefront. People even say their pastries are delicious and everyone should go there so I did all for nothing. PLEASE POST IN BIG LETTERS NOT A RETAIL OUTLET !!!! In the other hand I tried their compagne bastard at Trader Joe's and it took me back to Europe when I was a child. Finally a real bread. I live in Huntington Beach and besides the bread I would like some of the pastries. Where would be the closest retail outlet? read more
