    This is a bakery + for Santa Ana locals . Located on main street historical district it's known for delicious pan Dulce such as the traditional conchas,orejas and muffins. The + in this review comes for the delicious tamales they also serve along with chilaquiles and other items. Today we had tamales de rajas which were incredibly moist with fresh cheese and just the right amount of rajas for a good kick. The pastry was delicious, fresh and not overly sweet. I paired it with a coffee that was still fresh tasting at 10 am. The service was fast and great they told me i couldn't have chilaquiles because they ran out at 9 am this morning! The place was clean and inviting with that mom and pop look we don't see anymore. I definitely will be con back to taste if the chilaquiles are worth it. If you're looking for a true Santa Ana experience, look no further.

    Do not come to this business, unless you want to be disrespected by the workers

    will never come to this place ever again, the absurd rudeness from the workers. I feel really bad for the owners because I'm sure they're in business to make money. I come here during the week three times a week, and buy the torta lonches . Whenever they run out, the owner is always way more than happy to make me a fresh one. Officially this is the third time I come on the weekend while I'm running around and doing errands. That's it no more don't come and waste your time.

    My aunt ordered a cake for her 30 th anniversary and the cake did not resemble the picture she provided . I'm upset because I paid for a cake $300 as a gift and it was poorly made and overpriced . The frosting was yellow .

    We used The Mill Bakery again this year for our sons 2nd Birthday! Gus and his team built an amazing pirate cake... just exactly as we wanted. I can't speak highly enough of this bakery.... from customer service to great tasting cake... I will only use them for all of our cake needs moving forward! Best of all- they deliver AND they are more reasonably priced than most and the cakes they design are exquisite! They'll get all of my referrals :) Thanks Gus & Mill Team!

    BEST. CAKE. EVER. My parents have been getting cakes from Gus since we were born. I still remember having his pineapple filling cake for most of my birthdays so of course when it was time for my wedding cake-- Mill Bakery was the first place I thought of! I went ahead and ordered a 2-tier cake with one layer being pineapple and Bavarian cream and the other being marble. They were DELICIOUS. Gus did an amazing job with the cake and everyone loved it; we had countless guests come to us and tell us how amazing the cake was. The perfect sweetness and just the right amount of softness. It looked beautiful as well and was delivered on time. You can tell Gus cares about the customer because everything from the consulting to the ordering to the delivery of the cake was stress-free. I can't recommend his bakery enough. It's no frills and not anything super fancy but the quality of his products (I've tried the other baked goods at his bakery also) speak for themselves. I love wedding cakes and after attending a few recent weddings with horrendous cakes, I wanted to make sure that mine was delicious--and Gus made sure that was the case. Can't wait till I come back to California so I can pay another visit to Mill Bakery.

    My nieces 3rd birthday cake mills is the best thank you mills bakery :)!!

    Old-school, authentic, bakery with a nostalgic feel. Everything is made fresh and in-house including the juices which were awesome. If you enjoy supporting mom and pop establishments this is definitely the bakery for you.

    Thank you so much Gus as always perfection!

    I've been using the Mills Bakery for years now I wouldn't change it for any other place every time I need a cake no matter what size flavor color or Decor Gus always comes through and I'm very satisfied with his expertise I recommend the Mills Bakery very highly

    Going fast!!

I honestly loved everything I tried, but their Japanese milk bread completely stole my heart. The texture is unbelievably soft, and the flavor is rich and comforting. Another must-try is the Gochujang Roll, an unexpected but delicious fusion of Asian and Western flavors. Don't leave without grabbing their Corn Cookie--it is seriously addictive! And if you're looking for the perfect Instagram-worthy pastry, the Ube Cruffin is as beautiful as it is delicious. For savory options, their sandwiches were absolutely amazing. I also highly recommend taking home a loaf of their Rosemary Focaccia, and their buttery croissant is truly chef's kiss. And don't forget to grab some French butter from their fridge. The experience goes beyond the food. The staff are incredibly friendly and thoughtful--they even provide umbrellas for guests waiting in line under the California summer sun. They also regularly bring out complimentary tasting samples, which makes the wait much more enjoyable. I've already been back twice, and I know I'll be coming back again and again.

    I ordered this durian cake for our anniversary, and wow... it's easily the best cake I've ever had…read more If you love real durian, you'll love this cake. The cream is super smooth and filled with actual durian pulp--no artificial flavor at all. The sponge is so light and fluffy that it almost melts in your mouth, and it pairs perfectly with the rich, fruity durian cream. I already love fresh durian and durian ice cream, but this was my first time trying a durian cake, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The 6-inch cake was $68, so it's definitely a treat, but I'd happily buy it again. Just make sure to order a few days ahead. The service was amazing too. Since it was our anniversary, they added a cute "Happy Anniversary" sign to the cake at no extra charge. When we picked it up, they even reminded us to head straight home because the summer heat could affect the cake. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their cakes and want customers to enjoy them at their best. Definitely coming back to try more flavors!

    Baked Banhs have some of the best canelés in town, and sadly, they are closing on June 27th! We are…read moreso sad we didn't get to come visit until quite recently. :( We parked in the nearby parking lot on 4th street. Usually parking here isn't too bad if you're staying for less than an hour and easy to walk over to the dessert shop. Baked Banhs is located in the 4th street food market, one of the first shops you'll see if you're coming from the parking lot. Note the hours before you come (for instance, they're closed on Sundays and Mondays). And note that they seem to usually sell out of certain items by the days end. We've tried a number of different items here now including four of their canelés and their basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was solid. But we really loved their canelés. They are soft/moist on the inside with a nice crunch. And the different flavors really come through. Our favorite is the black sesame - not only is there black sesame peppered on the top but also in the center with a nice black sesame cream. It's so good and delicious. Four canelés cost $16 and thought they were well worth the price. Again, it's so sad to hear that Baked Banhs is closing soon so if you're a fan of canelés or other desserts, recommended to come sooner than later to try this out! We really hope they reopen again elsewhere or do a lot of pop-ups soon.

    Perhaps one of my new fave dessert shops. It's a bummer it's so far from me, but I'm glad to have…read morediscovered it. I got the ube tiramisu and a few cookies. My goodness were they amazing!

I know I'll sure be back!

One time before it had a strange chemical-like taste and I couldn't finish it, but I think that was just a one-off because it's normally really good. The banana matcha was good too, although it could've used a little more banana foam this time. The lines can get pretty long, so I was glad it wasn't too busy today. My favorites are the fish sandwich pastry and the jalapeño cheddar pastry. This time I also tried the salt and cookie butter croissant, the s'mores Danish, the Nutella banana Danish, and the turkey and cheese croissant. Everything was good except the turkey and cheese croissant, it was way overcooked for my liking, so I probably wouldn't order that one again. Overall, a good bakery with consistently tasty pastries and drinks.
