GREAT EXPERIENCE! DELICIOUS CONCHAS!…read more When my usual bakery changed its hours, I found myself searching for a new spot at 5AM, and I'm so glad I came across Santa Maria Bakery! I took a chance, and it absolutely paid off. The conchas (and other treats) were incredible. Everything was fresh and exactly what I needed for my work event. The service was accommodating, friendly, and efficient, which made what could have been a crazy morning better. This is officially my new go-to bakery. I'm already looking forward to trying more of their pastries and the coffee shop next time. Highly recommend!

Updating my review as I visited a few weeks ago and was very happy with my visit!…read more They completely renovated their store and it looks wonderful. They also updated their menu to specify prices for a small and a large sandwich and even have the bread clearly on display near the menu. I really appreciated seeing that so much! The lady who I assumed was the owner/manager was very kind and got me my order of a large croissant sandwich meal , key lime pie bar, and an iced coffee. The sandwich was delicious and I upgraded it to a meal. I kind of panic picked my side and chose the potato salad. It is a very eggy-based potato salad and is definitely the choice for you if you prefer that! And the sandwich was great and I was pretty happy. The key lime pie bar had a perfect ratio of key lime mixture and the shortbread crust. I love crust and appreciated that there was the perfect amount to enjoy both flavors. The texture of the key lime pie + lemon bars are more whipped/cohesive compared to the usual lemon bar's acidic softness. I think this would be perfect for people with food sensory issues or just people who don't like the texture of normal lemon bars. Overall, I was pretty happy with my visit and glad to update it with a way better review :) So glad to see how nice the business looks and appreciate the management!

Was looking everywhere for a butt cake! And found it here ... a bit pricey but worth your money!…read moreand the actual cake inside made perfectly. They are very good at giving you advice on how to do the cake but whatever you wanna do they can do it! I got my cake with buttercream and not fondant to try and reduce the price and they were fine with that as long as I knew it would look like the butt had cellulite. But it still came out very smooth looking and had the inside in an Oreo kind of flavor which was chocolate cake and creme and it was fire!! ‍ They were very polite and I kept changing my mind but they were very patient with me as well. Also I was able to call and email pictures to make it all so much easier!

I sent many pictures so she knew what she was getting into. She raised the price but I said ok. Then, after 10am the morning of the party, she called to tell me the cake had broken during the night. She said not to worry, she made an extra and would have it THE NEXT DAY! What?! The party is TODAY and she knew that! Eventually she agreed to bring a sheet cake she had made for a wedding but guess what? She didn't do that either. She claimed to have gotten rear-ended on her way to the party and that the cake was now "all over her car". Honestly? I think she bit off more than she could chew and used this BS as a way to get out of it. I wouldn't suggest booking her for your cake.
