A small family bakery that specializes in the "purest" of sourdough bread. Moses and his wife Martha have created the best sourdough bread that I have ever tried. More importantly, the bread is good for your gut health and totally gluten tolerable for those that have issues with wheat based flours. Just remember this - this is a family run business that produces small quantities of product. If you think that you can run into their bakery and pick up a loaf, forget it. Any available "for sale" products are usually sold out online prior to the stores opening at 9:00 am. Best advice - order online for 2-day pickup. Occasionally, one can secure product early in the morning between 8:00 - 8:30 am for same day pickup. If you are looking for a great sourdough bread for sandwiches and/or morning toast, look no farther. This is the BEST sourdough bread in OC! read more

I visited Moses Bread yesterday. I've been here twice now. It's a small little mom-and-pop shop. There are two signages: 1. One that says Moses Bread 2. The other sign that says "only four ingredients fermented" To me that's a bold statement and it's pretty incredible that they can produce high-quality product with just four ingredients. The signage says the four ingredients are: - water - sea salt - bread flour - yeast With that they developed some of the most incredible sourdough bread I've ever had. They do different variations where they have: - I got the fig and walnuts - they have cranberries - they have tomatoes All of these different flavors but the main bread ingredients are just four ingredients. It's a very unassuming shop, very simple inside. The system to order is a little complicated but you should pre-order online. If you order in person there might not be much left because most of the items are already reserved. I would definitely recommend this place as it is one of the best bakeries in Orange County read more

Delicious bread and even more options when you preorder online. The selection inside the sparse interior is limited, but is delicious. Service was fantastic. You even have the option to have your bread sliced in their machine at no additional cost. It's the best thing since sliced bread! read more

I left a review saying the phone wasn't being answered and the owner called me back and he answered all my questions. Good way to get in touch with them might be through reviews. Thanks for the call back read more

What a lucky find here. This was the first time for me to ever eat pure sourdough bread without any preservatives or bleached flour. I bought 3 loaves and of course I couldn't wait to get home to try a piece and ate some on the way home and easily this was the best tasting sourdough bread I've ever eaten. Moses is a very nice and intelligent man and what he is doing here by providing healthy bread like this is amazing. No more sourdough bread from the grocery store for me. read more

What a nice little place! I needed a new loaf of sourdough for my freezer and wanted to try someplace new. They are reasonably priced and after having a nibble in the car, delicious!! They will slice it for you 1/2" thick free of charge. read more

Terrible ordering system online. And this is the only way they take orders. You can't just walk in and buy anything. Can't order online same day either. So you order and forget to pick up. Then they throw out your order. And if you ever do manage to buy it fresh here, it still sucks. Hard as hell. And bland. read more

Breads are hardened the next day, very tough to chew on. Rush to order and not friendly enough for questions, simple store set up and look more like a bread factory than store to my opinion. read more

Follow the yelp directions map come here . 1st time Check in , small store , the old man not that nice , we were still looking around what was they had on the shelves ( many kind of sourdough favor) , but his way seemed keep rush , so we choose the plain sourdough $11.25. We gave $20 and we told him we got $0.25 cents but he not wait, just walked to inside then said: too later ! Then come back with the left money change to us. Well 1st time as quick was last in this store! Rather I keep my visit to (6100 Bread store ) close than got uncomfortable in this store ! read more

Moses Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Best sourdough I've had in Orange County! Moses bread is located in Santa Ana in a small mall. They only sells limited amount of bread so highly recommend ordering online ahead of time. I got the blue cheese and fig boule one online ($9.50) can customize up to two flavors. Since we picked up around 09:30 AM there were some bread left so we got a sourdough loaf ($11). The owner is super friendly and told us about the history of their place, Both breads were super fresh fluffy on inside crunchy exterior , can tell they only use minimal ingredients. The blue cheese and fig one you can taste both but not too powerful. Overall a little pricy but worth a splurge. Would love to try the baguette my next visit! read more

Best sourdough bread in town! In my opinion, it's better than Boudin's. Little pricy though.

Moses Bread best sourdough in town!! my favorite is fig sourdough. tried baguette, bagels...always come here to buy! the owner here is master of sourdough - he explains about how he makes healthy 3-4 pure ingredients bread that made him healthy! friendly, clean. would recommend you order online. Parking lot is small but plenty of spots! read more

The BEST sourdough bread you will ever have. I've tried a lot of the different varieties offered and my go-to is the XL loaf. It has a crispy exterior and a soft, airy interior. A bit pricey at $16.25 aaand it's still worth it. I do think the online ordering system is quite difficult because who can remember to order bread 2-3 days before picking up?? And also I'm still willing to jump through all the hoops to get my hands on this bread. I've said this to Moses already but I wish they'd sell the starter! To which he named many different reasons he doesn't. Or they'd hold classes so we can learn how to bake sourdough bread together! read more

Moses bread is the best option if you want clean 4 ingredients only sour dough bread.. they do have some in stock but not much. Highly advise you to preorder. They will also slice the bread also. I got a loaf and a rustic loaf but were really good. Fresh bread. Come support this mom and pop shop read more

Moses Bread - Excellent 4 ingredient sourdough bread - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Great concept they have here! Everything is sourdough based and made into different shapes. Things sell out fast so you should consider ordering early in the morning like 730am for same day pick up or they have an option for ordering 2 days ahead. They still take walk ins but things may be sold out. I wanted to try the bagel but it was unfortunately sold out. I tried the rustic sourdough loaf and it was really well made. Great for the sourdough lovers. It's a grab and go kinda place. Just sells bread and no other toppings/spreads. Parking is easy in front in the lot. read more

Moses Bread - Different types of sourdough - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I have wanted to try their bread for years but every time I would come by they were sold out! Today I scored! I arrived at about 12:30 after seeing a person exit with a loaf- I scurried in to see two loaves of beautiful sourdough on a shelf marked sold and about four loaf pan loaves and about four boule loaves left! I got the loaf for $11.45 and the man helping me treated the loaf like he was giving away one of his kids. He's very kind and will slice it for you if you ask. The bread is delicious! Very fresh with a nice crunchy crust I think we ate half the loaf for lunch! Get there early- he sells out because it's really good quality and very tasty! Parking is ample but this is only a bakery selling sourdough bread. Nothing more! read more

Delicious bread and well operated so I'm in and out quickly. It's not confusing if you can read directions. I wish they could sell their starter but demand is already so high for the bread - fingers crossed. read more

This place is something special. It's owned and operated by this couple that's passionate about sourdough bread. You can order two days in advance or they also have same-day ordering. Their online system starts at 9am and the bread gets sold out quickly! After I ordered, I went to pick it up and there was a sign that said they're out of bread unless you ordered it online. They also have a dehydrated mother starter but I haven't tried that yet. I have tried the sourdough boule and the rosemary boule and both were amazing. I'm excited to try their baguettes too and the sandwich bread. It's located in a small strip mall and I found parking easily. It's my go-to bakery now. read more

Moses Bread - Ingredients - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Wow the bread is phenomenal and fresh. I got the regular sourdough loaf and the cranberry loaf. The cranberry loaf was great. Took it home, toasted it with some butter and Maldon salt, it was great. The bread had a nice crunch but also extremely soft on the inside. Service was cool. I believe it's an elderly couple who owns the spot and runs it day by day. When you enter Moses, you will see it's very simple. There is a shelf with bread. You will see machinery in the back as well. The ambiance is a "we sell great bread, we don't need fancy stuff". You can have your bread sliced there as well. 11/10 one of the best sourdoughs I've ever had. **if you order in advance, you'll get the bread you want. If you walk in, be prepared for a small variety due to first come first serve" read more

The cranberry walnut sourdough is perfection. I like it toasted with some good butter--simple and satisfying. Must order ahead, but so worth it. read more

Moses Bread - Cranberry Walnut Sourdough Sandwich Loaf (1.5 Lb.) - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Yummy sourdough bread. Order ahead online or come right when it opens or it might sell out if you come later in the day. I got a plain loaf, for $9-10, but they also sell XL loaf and sandwich loaf, and flavored boules like rosemary and olive etc. Great aroma, crispy crust, soft interior. It's mild on the sour flavor. 10/10. read more

A hidden gem in Tustin! I ordered their mini baguettes, loaf of sourdough, and fig boule via internet and picked up around 10am. They were already sold out for walk-ins by that time so highly recommend ordering online first thing in the morning. Best sourdough I've ever had and bread freezes well. Service was great, tiny shop but smells like heaven! If you love fresh bread, this is your place! read more

This little hidden gem is amazing! First time at this place and it was packed. Thank God I arrived at 9:15 because almost all the bread was gone. The best thing is to order it online a day or two before. This business is a mom and Pop shop. Hard-working couple and they keep the place clean. I spoke to a few customers who have been regulars for the past year and two years. I got the fig sourdough, olive sourdough, and regular sourdough. All of them were amazing. I will definitely keep coming back. There is plenty of parking. read more

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

The owner is passionate about his bread. And for good reason. He has perfected texture and taste in his product.

Amazing bread! Best in Santa Ana, the owner Moses is a sourdough wizard. Get there early because the loaves sell out fast! Worth the wait!

It's really good bread. Honestly disappointing that in the USA good clean bread is so hard to come by. That said it's not cheap. $10 for a small loaf of bread is kinda crazy considering this is pretty much what you'd get cheaply at a local grocer anywhere in Europe. It's a strange small place, the man who makes the bread is obviously very skilled and passionate about his craft. read more

Wow it is so good! So clean and fast service. They even sliced my bread for me! Will be back

Great place to go I go out of my way to Come to this location! Grate service Best Bread and Bagel SD! 10 stars read more

So after my initial visit last week where I just bought the plain sour dough because everything else was reserved by the time I arrived only 30 minutes before closing - So I decided to place my order ahead of time via the website (you order 2 days in advance). I ordered: Boule Fig Boule Blue Cheese 6 bagels Rustic Loaf - Olive AND Rosemary (I paid for 2 flavors) The prices were very reasonable considering the high end quality of ingredients. The Rustic Loaf was AMAZING! I loved the blend of the olive and rosemary flavors and the bread was that perfect combination of slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They also have a XL loaf that is larger than this and the Boules are smaller and rounder. Both the Fig and Blue Cheese Boules had a generous amount of real figs and blue cheese chunks in them respectively. I think I like the Rustic Loaf style better than the Boule because my favorite part is the fluffy interior and there was more of that on the Rustic Loaf. The sour dough bagels were delicious and great to eat plain or also yummy toasted with cream cheese. I will definitely be ordering bread from Moses Bread again in the future - very soon at that since it was delicious and so well made! read more

2/4/23 (visit date) Took me a while to consider writing this review. I appreciate that is that it is a small mom and pop shop, and I am very happy and proud to have patronized their business, I've had my fair share of sourdough breads. They do get my vote on the customer service portion. I see the love & care for their products. I was not especially impressed with the sourdough bagel. Perhaps if I had gotten it first off when they've been made? It was a tad on the dry side. Must admit, the loaf, yes, at $9.99 per loaf was a little steep-but I understand the concept of the fresh & limited ingredients, no preservatives , etc. I do not mind paying for something if it'll a full on 5 star taste. I was really looking to have that pronounced "tang" or "sour" that it's supposed to be have. As soon as I got home, I placed the paper bag in a sealed plastic bag to retain its freshness. I lightly toasted it the next day & it was actually pretty good with a little bit of butter. It did lack a little of moisture though. I've tasted Boudins' when we've visited the factory in San Francisco, nice tang & you can smell it!! I've tasted Old Town, even the day old bread (Gilroy Garlic Sourdough is a must!!!). It's hard to compete from well established entities but I admire the passion that Moses Bread has for their products. I'm glad to have tried it. read more

Saw this place mentioned on a local news coverage regarding new minimum wage law. It's a business run by husband & wife and they expressed concern that it would be difficult to hire workers when the new minimum wage law goes into effect. Seeing the story made me want to support this business, so decided to look them up on Yelp. Although I rarely eat sourdough bread, I had to give it a try based on all the positive reviews. If this place only makes sourdough bread, I figured it's gotta be good. This place keeps it extremely simple. All breads are made with just four ingredients - flour, sea salt, water, and wild yeast. No artificial ingredients or chemicals are used. They do have few items with added variation like olive oil, cranberry, and fig, but main staples are just plain sourdough breads in different shapes and forms. I grabbed a loaf of its plain bread (sliced) and four bagels. I realize it's very simple (almost to the point of being boring), but my whole family loved them. The bread just tasted very clean and natural. The crust was tough but the inside was very soft and slightly chewy. I recommend heating them up in a toaster for better texture, but was fine eating them at room temperature. I ate four slices of the loaf and a bagel in just one sitting. I like it that much. If you get here early enough, you may be able to grab some items without having to preorder, but it's probably best to order ahead. Website is a little funky and I had a hard time using it, but eventually got around to it. Payments are made through PayPal, although you don't have to have an active account to make a purchase online. read more

A super small mom and pop shop that serves fresh sourdough! You can't really shop here on a whim, you have to preorder what you want from their offering online, and pickup minimum 2 days later. They also slice the loaf for you upon request! 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

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

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

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

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
