    My nephews 5th birthday cake it's  marble cake with fresh strawberries Bavarian cream filling and buttercream frosting
    Chris G.

    This bakery is great I got my nephews 5th birthday cake here on 3/21/26 it was really good it was a marble cake with fresh strawberries Bavarian cream filling and butter cream frosting the strawberries were really fresh this is the only place I will get my cakes the design I asked for was done perfectly I like the Mexican Wedding cookies those are fresh too . The employees were really nice location is very clean and is in a good area if your looking for a bakery I highly recommend them.

    Free samples, we did buy slices of cake!

    Love this place ! The desserts are wonderful ! In French, "Les desserts sont merveilleux !" We purchased carrot cake & it was divine. We also purchased German chocolate cake, and French bread. My favorite by far is the carrot cake. Usually I have some constructive feedback, but when it's done perfectly like this, perfect recipe. Furthermore, each day, for the past three days I ate some, and it was just as delicious as day one. Additionally, the French Bread was crispy, on the outside and deliciously soft inside. Customer service was extremely nice, samples were offered, they knew the ingredients of each cake, very professional. The best part of being here is seeing all the Halloween, fall themed, autumn cakes. For example, pls. Watch the video clips. Then you could see how beautiful they look, and what I love about going curious that I know the inside is going to be just as delicious as the outside!

    My husband ordered my birthday cake from French's Bakery and Danny went above and beyond to make it special for my 50th birthday. We asked for a coconut cake with a delicate cream filling and decorated with peacock feathers. It was delicious and red carpet worthy. Myself, our guests and even the restaurant wait staff were raving about it. It was huge and beautiful. , highly recommend.

    Ham and cheese croissant

    I bought a Groupon and was excited to go try this bakery. However, upon entering the employee told me that Groupon had run the promotion without their consent. Since I drove all that way, I ended up getting a ham and cheese croissant. It was your average ham and cheese. They have a large selection of pastries, cakes, and cookies that look interesting. Danishes and danish wheels are their specialty per the sales gal. They have variety in spades. I had a sample of the cinnamon bread they had out and it was on the dryer side. Parking was easy. Service is average. Outdoor seating available. Please visit to create your own experience.

    Tasteless cookies

    Disappointing! Flavorless. Wasted 75.00 on cookies to cheer my family up. Nicely decorated though though.

    Cute little bakery with excellent offerings. The staff is super sweet and always incredibly friendly. I really dig the wagon wheels and the danishes which come in several sizes. Mmmm mmm

    Strawberry danish with hair imbedded in the bread.

    Cute little bakery. First time going to this bakery, tasted ok. There was hair in my pastries. I took a picture of one but I kept finding small ones throughout.

    This has quickly grown to be one of my favorite bakeries ... I bake myself so I don't give out this compliment lightly. The cakes are absolutely delicious. And I love that they give you a variety of cake flavors and fillings to choose from. There is also a wide variety of already made cakes, cupcakes and other treats to choose from. If you are a fan of beautifully decorated cakes that don't use fondant, this is your place!!. I absolutely love the flower work on the cakes. Simply impeccable every time. The staff is always so courteous and patient and helpful. This is the only place that I get my mom's birthday cake from. The lemon cake, The cream cheese frosting is to die for. Let's not forget about $1 cupcake Tuesdays. It's my favorite day of the week and you cannot beat that bargain. If you want a custom cake be sure to submit the order at least one week in advance. I'm really a cupcake and cake fan, but those cheese danishes and those butter/ sugar cookies deserve an honorable mention. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything from this bakery. And the most important part, they are very affordable!

When we ordered the cinnamon roll, there was no option to heat it up, so we thought they would have done it already. When it was served, it was rock solid. So, we asked them to heat it up. However, after a few minutes, it still wasn't that gooey and the inner core was still pretty tough. Perhaps they could have warmed it up so that it was evenly softened. Overall, the cinnamon roll was alright. It was a brioche roll so you would think it might be lighter and fluffy, but ours was pretty dry. However, the cream on top was insanely good. It carried the roll. The hazelnut twist was kind of what you would expect. A twisted pastry but with a hefty amount of hazelnut-chocolate spread thru the layers. We sat in a little nook, where there was a magnetic black board, where there were word tiles you could rearrange in any way. It was a nice place to just look around at all the sentences the community wrote. Chess tables were also available as extra seating. Overall, the service was good, but could be better when warming up pastries, so that the customer can enjoy them properly!

    I've been a regular here at Eller since opening and I've always loved coming in for their coffee,…read morepastries and bread. I haven't been to Eller in the last couple months until this Morning. I've been told that there's new ownership and changes with ingredients (which doesn't bother me) yet everything tastes and looks terrible now. Croissants have huge gaping holes, there's a jalapeño cream cheese croissant and it's just a croissant with a block of cold cream cheese in it..., mushy carrot cake that's barely fully baked, the only pastry that I really enjoyed was the yuzu blood orange danish. Also the food for breakfast and brunch it's really disappointing... since opening they have had the same exact menu with no new menu items, no creativity and just outright bland it so desperately needs a change. The absolute ONLY reason why I gave this review 3 stars instead of 1 is because of the sourdough country loaves... WOW, I would say it's the best bread in OC and the only reason that I'd come back. So if you're looking for a quality sourdough loaf definitely come in for that.... Other than that stay far away from this place and it hurts me to say that now because I saw such potential in this place.

    I really like this place. Their sourdough, loves, cinnamon rolls, chausson aux pommes (they don't…read morehave them anymore) were all excellent. You see everything is made with quality, and with a constant turn around of house made product. It is a cute and quaint spot with limited parking. We came here on a Sunday afternoon, ordered the benedict (perfect poached eggs, hollandaise pretty good), the egg sandwich (on croissant), and the breakfast wrap. The breakfast wrap really surprised me because it was wrapped in a crepe. Very good and tasty. Lattes and coffee are excellent quality. It's not often that I feel a business who does super well should be at 4 stars instead of 5, but I would say for how small this place is, the service is just okay, and I think the prices are quite high for certain things. You will be serviced quickly, at least in the time I've been here, but I think this place has room for improvement - but that's just my opinion. It's good, but I'm not blown away. I would still recommend giving this place a try, because their croissants are wonderful as it the bread - but hard to compete with a few other well known bakeries.

I went on a Friday night and it was VERY lively! There was a band playing by the bar and it was packed! People were drinking, dancing, hanging out. All of this is happening in a supermarket! Lots of food vendors to check out and all of it looked delicious! I don't remember the names of the places my friend and I ordered food from, but I had a chile relleno burrita, seafood cocktail, and pozole. I've never really had chile relleno, so I decided to just go for it and try something different even though there were other options that were more my preference. It was alright. Good thing it was only $5. The seafood cocktail was delicious! They did not skimp on the seafood and everything in it tasted so fresh. Pozole wasn't terrible, but just like my burrita, it was a bit on the bland side. Maybe my palate skews too heavily towards salty, but I felt like a little salt here and there would've really improved the flavors in everything we ordered. Overall the quality/freshness was there! Regarding the market part, nothing special. Maybe a little more selection than your typical Northgate, especially in the liquor department. Their wall of tequila was impressive. I will definitely be back again to try the other foods! In fact, I may just come all the way out here to do grocery shopping from time to time. I saw a guy doing some shopping with a cocktail in his cart and I want to live that life. Bro definitely had the right idea.

During my recent visit, Wendy at cashier station 5 on 6.13.2026 at around 7:30pm provided extremely disrespectful service and openly stated that she did not care enough to learn the pricing codes while scanning items. This raises concerns about pricing accuracy, not only for me but for other loyal customers as well. Fortunately, the employee assisting with bagging demonstrated far more professionalism and took the initiative to correct the mistakes caused by Wendy's lack of attention and concern. I hope management addresses this issue, as customers deserve courteous service and confidence that they are being charged accurately.

The Churreria specifically has delicious churros, hot cocoa, and dipping sauces. I like to get the churro bites and 2-3 sauces to enjoy. There's a seasonal sauce right now guava which is delicious!

Their stand is across from the bakery within the Northgate but they also have their own entrance if you don't want to walk through the hustle and bustle of the market. Decorated almost entirely with small tiles, it is a really cute place that's slinging out great churros. All you gotta do is order at a window where a cashier will take down your order and then wait in the side for your freshly made churros. I'm always down for a classic churro hot chocolate combo (French is my preference for the richness) but if you're trying to beat the heat, you can't go wrong with condensed milk either. I will say it does air on the sweet side but I view it as a small indulgence every now and again. Every crispy bite makes it worth it!
