It's great sourdough and I bought 2 loaves and it was simply fine. Do not feel the need to return.

I saw a TikTok on a bread shop back east and all of a sudden had a craving for sourdough and this was the closest bread shop that I never knew existed. It's a small shop and it's closer to the border of Santa Ana/Tustin. I walked in on a Friday afternoon and there were a team of people in the back working on bread. An older gentleman came to the register to help. I ordered a olive sourdough and a sourdough baguette and was set. I immediately ate the baguette and it was delicious. It had a chewy middle and nice crust on the outside. The olive bread was also delicious and it had a few olives in every bite but wasn't overpowered with olives. I'd definitely stop by here to pick up breads to take with me to Temecula if I was doing a day at the wineries. It's a small shop, but worth the trip for excellent bread. read more

This is a real dourdough bread. It's delicious just by eating bread with nothing on it. It's crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.

Loved all the loaves I got from here- a classic sourdough, an olive sourdough, and a fig and walnut sourdough. Everyone who tried it loved them as well. Nice crunch on the outside but the bread inside was soft, moist, and had a really nice but not overwhelming taste (the olives, figs, and walnuts were a lovely addition). Very fresh, I'd recommend placing your order ahead of time then picking up your loaves. This place is a hidden gem! read more

Delicious bread! Healthy! Warm from the oven. A little store... I think I'll continue purchasing there from time to time.

I have to laugh at some of the previous reviews. If you're looking for a cafe with ambiance, this is not it. That being said, it is a bread bakery, the owners are very upfront about that. For those complaining about the price, $11 for a loaf of handmade artisan sourdough, made fresh to order is a steal. A store bought loaf for processed sourdough runs about $8, I'll pay the extra $3 to get ingredients I can read and know that there is no processed or artificial ingredients going into what I am consuming. As for the negative reviews on their customer service; again, they are not advertising themselves as any type of cafe or somewhere to sit and hangout. They bake amazing, fresh bread and that's it. I thought that the gentleman (I'm assuming Moses) was perfectly friendly and polite and I'll absolutely be ordering regularly from here. I drive about 30 mins for this sourdough, but it is worth every cent and second of my time. Perfectly chewy crust without being tough and moist and fluffy inside without being gummy or too dense. It's the sourdough I have been searching for! read more

For the newbies, order online before showing up. That way you're coming in for what you came for. The menu is simple. I ordered on Monday. And my bread wouldn't be ready to pick up til Thursday (close on Wed/Sun) they open at 9am. I tell them my name and he had it written down and got my order. I tore into that thing right away. I got the boule, and have to admit it didnt last 24hrs. I ate the whole dang thing. And I have no regrets. Its sour dough! Anxiously waiting to come back. Soo happy to find this little spot down the street. Thank you read more

You walk into this space and the aroma of baking bread just over whelms you. His bread was probably the best sourdough I've had in a long, long time. I highly recommend you order what you want 2 days ahead because he makes such small batches and he runs out quickly. read more

I loved the sourdough i got from here. I reserved it around 10 am for a plain sourdough bread. It was absolutely amazing. I look forward to eating it. I also know it was baked with love. The sweet couple running the business are so kind and personable. I loved chatting with them. Small little bakery with a specific reservation system due to high demand. I hope to see them continue to expand/ thrive in the future read more

Found them on Google and walked in expecting to find a big offering of artesian breads. We were shocked to see bare shelves with just two loafs of sourdough left. We bought a loaf of fermented sourdough and left the store with bag in hand. While walking back to our car a man asked if we had reserved a loaf of bread, when we answered "no" he replied how lucky we were to even get a slice of bread. Once we got home and tasted the bread we fully understood why we were so lucky. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! A small shop with an older husband and wife owners serving up mouth watering bread. Tip of the day: RESERVE YOUR BREAD IN ADVANCE read more

I have an addiction to Moses Bread. This is the best sourdough bread I've had. This addiction makes it so hard to go on a low carb diet... I first came across Moses Bread just a few months ago. I was searching on Yelp for gluten free sourdough bread, and I came across Moses Bread. I have been eating a gluten-free diet for years now and felt horrible every time I eat gluten. I read a few reviews and saw that some people could tolerate sourdough due to the long fermentation process and how the bacteria breaks down the gluten protein. Although the bread itself is made from wheat flour, the fermentation process changes the structure of the molecules. Anyways, I decided to try it out to see how I would feel after eating it. I felt fine - no gut issues, no bloating, no gas, nothing! I was so excited that I could have this good of a bread in my life again. If you have sensitivity to gluten, you should make your own decisions. This is just my own personal experience. The only non-gluten-free food I have in my life is Moses Bread. I had texted the phone number one morning right when the shop opened. I was directed to reserve my bread online. I followed the prompt and noticed bread just disappearing from the online inventory as I refreshed the page. I hurried and reserved a few loaves. I initially bought the rustic loaf, mini baguette, and the sandwich loaf to try. I arrived at Moses Bread, a small mom and pop shop, and received my bread from Moses. They can slice your bread for you too! The moment I got in my car, I tried some and almost finished the whole thing before I got home. I shared some with my family and ordered them some loaves a few days later. They all loved it. The bread has a nice crispy (not hard) crust and chewy and soft center. Although all the bread here is sourdough, my personal favorite is the plain XL loaf because it has a lot more of the chewy center. My second favorite is the plain rustic loaf. My favorite way to eat it is toasted/fry with olive oil and salt and pepper. Moses is very kind and knowledgeable. He sets a very high standard for himself and his bread. There's only 4 ingredients in his bread: wheat flour, water, salt, wild yeast. I've compared this to the long ingredient lists for sourdough sold in some stores. This is the real deal. He really cares about his bread and its quality. He told me about his process in making his bread and the machines he used (giving his bread a crispy crust vs hard crust). He explained why it's better to order the bread, giving the bread time to ferment and bake. Although I've made sourdough bread before, the process is tedious. I'm someone who likes to make everything from scratch by myself. However, I also want to have control over how much I eat bread. I decided it was better to purchase bread when I want it from someone I trust and know he's using the best ingredients. This is my favorite local business. I can't emphasize enough on how this artisan bread has changed my life. read more

Moses Bread - Toasted sourdough bread. - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Not sure why the rave reviews, I found the taste & texture of cardboard. Owner thinks highly of himself, quite rude.

Great. Order ahead but great. It's not super sour which I prefer but really really good

Amazing local sourdough spot. Simple ingredients with great selection of flavors. Blue cheese might be my favorite. Moses and Martha are kind and friendly, always happy to see them. Make sure to order a few days ahead of time as they seldom have leftover bread. Definite recommend from me! read more

Stay away from our bread! Avoid going here too early because you may get here ahead of us. Arrive on the late side after we have had our pick of this amazing bread made by a sweet couple. They work this small shop by themselves. Better yet, go buy your fake sourdough bread from your local grocery store. Moses bread is too good for you anyway. They use real sourdough starter. You probably don't know what that is. There are a few places that use sourdough starter; for example, you can fly up to San Francisco and they use a particular type of starter. You can also buy various types online if you're into baking your own. Not a bad idea. Buy your own starter and bake your own bread and stay out of our favourite sourdough store. To avoid any conflicts with our family, you can (and should) place an order on their website. Wait three (3) days for it to ferment properly, then pick it up. Not joking. Great things are worth waiting for. We can't fight you for your bread since you already paid for it online. Just beware of armed robbers outside the store. It's legal to own a gun in America. Bring your own protection, but stay away from our bread. read more

My kids' favorite sourdough. Delicious, fresh and healthy. Thank you for always bringing us joy with your beautiful loaves of bread.

My wife was requesting me to grab some fresh sourdough. So I scoured the area for a bakery that would make them fresh daily. I came upon Moses Bread. It's in an unassuming complex, next to a Subway. So it's tricky to find. Plus, my map directed me to the next plaza. But I found it. Seems to be ran by an older Asian couple, who are so nice. I walked in and was greeted. They explained my choices, to which they explained they only make sourdough. It was fresh, delicious, and soft. I don't think I've had anything as good as this. I was amazed, and quite pleased. read more

Moses Bread - Made some Avocado Toast with their loaf of sourdough. - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I'm coming back and grabbing more loaves for sure! Love the option of slicing the loaf, and it's proper slice size! Most places slice always at 1/4" and it's just too thin lol! The owner was super sweet and welcoming and showed me how to reserve my bread online so I don't miss out My daughter and I just snacked our way through the loaf without even toasting it yet! I put the loaf in the fridge and texture was still the perfect chew and didn't dry out nor crust did not harden during the week I ate it! read more

Charming old man. 5/5 bread. Would come back. A diamond in the rough, quite literally.

Just like many carb lovers... I love bread. This place is either sinful or a godsend. I was searching for a Montreal style bagel. No, this place doesn't have it, but they do have sourdough bagels, which aren't quite bagels but more like sourdough bread that resembles bagels... but that's ok! The taste makes up for that. I texted my order the day before, and was told to pick up my 6 bagels and my rosemary baguette after 9:00 am. I arrived at 9:30 and walked inside.. what a quaint little store! I was warmly greeted by Moses dressed like a french baker with his poofy hat. Adorable. My 6 bagels and the baguette came to $13 and change, and he accepted Apple Pay. The bagel was crispy outside, and I was thinking "oh no.. its hard as a rock". I was wrong. Inside was soft and chewy. I cut it lengthwise, and ate the top half untoasted... it was freaking good. The bottom was lightly toasted and it was perfect. Again, I wouldn't call it a proper bagel, but it's near perfect regardless. I'll be back, and will preorder some bread, too read more

Moses Bread - Located beside a Subway - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Fresh sourdough gem in Orange County! Best local sourdough I've tried so far. Definitely recommend. It's a small shop but happy I found them. read more

The owner was very friendly. He took the time to explain his methodology, ingredients and why he started this bakery. It's one of the best s sourdoughs I've had. The crust is crispy and crackly,, chewy , but airy in the center with a bit of tanginess. Will definitely be back. read more

Delicious! The crispy crust and soft inside are just perfect. So excited to have found a real sourdough bakery so close by and the prices are quite reasonable. read more

I stumbled upon this place and was captivated at their simple ingredients used to make their bread. I didn't have any online orders but I definitely recommend making reservations because this is a small mom and pop shop that has very limited quantity of bread. Luckily I went when they just opened and they had about 6 loaves of bread that were available for walk ins. I picked up a sourdough bread and it was surprisingly out of this world. You can definitely tell it was made with only 4 simple ingredients. I ate half the loaf on the drive home and my stomach didn't feel terrible afterwards! Definitely recommend this place and will come back for their simple high quality bread. Looking forward to trying their baguette! read more

Great bread if you consider health significantly. A bit pricy but worth to have. It would be better place the order in advance. For just walk-in, there could be high chance to sold out mot of bread. Owner make the fresh bread everyday. read more

See all

Chef Moses and his wife Chef Martha are simply the sweetest,the cutest and best bakers !! Love chef Moses bread !!!

Best sourdough ever!! Definitely worth the visit.. watch out cuz it's easy to miss..

Pros: makes REAL bread that doesn't leave you feeling gross afterwards. Real sourdough made from real fermented starter. I have become a regular and highly recommend this small business. Cons: one inconvenience is that I have to prepurchase online, otherwise keep your eyes peeled for daily available loafs that is updated on their website read more

Great bread but ya better order online . They sell out fast . If you have to have bread this is it

Hidden little gem with amazing bread. You will not be disappointed. You know the bread is going to be good when It smells amazing.

Don't buy bread anywhere else than from Martha and Moses at Moses Bread! Exceptional bread from a wonderful little bakery!

Long overdue post. I was gifted sourdough loaf from Moses bread and the hype is real. Probably the best sourdough I've had - perfectly crispy outside and perfectly moist inside. I'm a Moses Bread convert and now my morning starts w/ a cup of coffee and my buttered sourdough - so darn yummy! read more

Ordered 2 Boules plain/olive for the very first time and I'm honestly addicted. I checked online to see what they had available for the day and processed my order online. It was super quick and easy. Once I arrived for curbside pick up, they brought out my bread to the passenger window. You can absolutely tell the bread was made with so much love and care. I'll be back for sure!!!! *please note if you happen to make it to Mathew's review, please disregard his review we don't need any more Karen's in the world* read more

Moses Bread - Sourdough loafs 23-2023 - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Found this gem while looking for bakery on Yelp during 2021 pandemic. Bought one loaf home and the spouse raved about the taste and texture. Brought spouse back when store was open to public again and basically bought whatever available that wasn't reserved! The owner/baker patiently explained how best to wrap and store the bread for best freshness since there's no way the 2 of us can finish the amount of breads we bought in a week. Sure enough the bread maintained it's freshness! I'd like people to know and appreciate the owner's passion and artistry in their craft, but selfishly I want to keep it as a secret spot 'cus I love the cozy family mom and pop vibe!! read more

With COVID-19 out in the world, you have to order their bread online but their curbside pick-up service is awesome. They email you when your bread is ready with instructions to text when you're there and they bring the bread right to your car! In the interest of social distancing, they ask that you roll down your passenger window so they may drop it off, super easy! I got the sourdough boule and it was DELICIOUS! Wonderful chewy inside, crackly crust. So good with just some butter and sea salt. My only regret was I didn't buy multiples at a time, but I'll definitely be ordering more for the future! read more
