This bakery is located in a strip mall by El Poblano on Broadway. They mostly sell a rotating…read moreselection of cupcakes and cookies. Both are excellent. The cupcakes are on the small side, which I prefer because then I can easily eat 2 different kinds, ha. The Peach Cobbler is probably my fav, but the Sweet Potato one is also excellent - tastes like a nicely spiced pumpkin cake. The frosting on all cupcakes is very airy and VERY buttery. Contrasts nicely with the surprisingly dense cupcakes. The cookies are also excellent. They always have choc chip and caramel choc chip, but I've also seen banana pudding, peanut butter, and mango. Their hours keep dwindling - right now they're only open Fri-Sun - but please check them out, I love this local business.

He (we) had the German Chocolate cookie. He foolishly opted to not add pecans. (What was he thinking?!?!?!?!) The cookie was perfectly moist and chewy! The German Chocolate icing was amazingly buttery and not overly sweet! (It would have been even better with pecans) I knew that the cookie was tasty when he said "you won't like it". That's his way of getting to have the whole cookie to himself. Do yourself a favor and get your own d@mn cookie! I will tomorrow! I'll tell you all about the peach cobbler pound cake after I taste it. (Once he goes to sleep )

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!

By seeing the exterior of this spot, I felt I had to try it. That's exactly what I did…read more My significant other and I walked inside. It wasn't too big, but there certainly was a variety of items. I grabbed tongs and a tray by the entrance. I ended up getting a Pineapple pastry. It had a slightly hard surface. I also got a Vainilla pastry. That one had a soft surface and scattered colors on it. I was excited to get home and try the items. I almost wanted to slam them down during the drive home, but I ended up being patient and waiting. The Pineapple pastry was pretty good, but I think it would have been better with more filling. The Vainilla pastry was soft and flavorful. I enjoyed it more than the Pineapple pastry. The service was good. The employee checked me out fast. Overall, it was a cool spot to try out. I might go again if I'm in the area. Date of visit: 03-Dec-2024

This is my first time getting my birthday cake from this establishment. I ordered a dairy free…read moreyellow raspberry cake. Placing the order was easy and accommodating. They did let me know that the icing will taste different cause it is dairy free and I have a choice to do lactose free whipped cream or vegan cream. They had an assortment of options I was surprised by that. I told them I wanted my cake to be purple and decorated with cute flowers. They said they can only do white frosting and purple flowers. Usually places will fulfill your request but I guess they want their cakes to taste like actual whipped cream and not like food coloring. The flavor of my cake was pretty good pretty fresh. The raspberry filling flavoring was a bit too much for me I was expecting a smaller than a layer. I wish I would've said something. The decoration of the cake was not the best at all but the taste of it makes up for it. So if you're looking for a beautifully decorated cake definitely send them a picture for reference. If not let my cake be a testament to what they do when they freestyle. All in all I will come back again to try some of their other desserts.

Ticket for four people was a hundred bucks and change. Four entrees, four drinks. Coffee was decent. The food was awful. The croque madame was, apparently, made by someone who had never eaten one. The sandwich was stone cold with the saddest little drizzle of what I can only imagine was fully congealed béchamel that had been piped on and maybe popped in a toaster oven for fifteen seconds. The egg on top was cooked over hard. Why even put that sandwich on the menu if you're going to execute it so poorly? The crepes were gummy, the avocado on the green goddess salad was mealy somehow. We just ate what we could of our meal and left. I would give this place a miss. If they're going to charge what they do, they need to fix the food.
