I was so happy to find a high-quality potato bread sold at the Mother's in Signal Hill that is local and SO DELICIOUS! It's hard to find good potato bread that isn't Orowheat brand. I'm sad that their website seems to be out of service. I checked the Huntington Beach location and sadly it's not sold there (yet???). I hope they succeed well enough to expand if they're able! If not, I hope they receive my gratitude for satisfying my weird niche interest in potato bread. The nutrition facts are surprisingly good, too. Yum, and thank you! read more

I'm a semi retired Cantor and have never tasted such delicious challah and rolls in my life. Thanks for making an outstanding oroduct !!

Best ever bakery where you can get challah, 9 grain bread and maple scones right out of the oven. It's A commercial factory location. Best service. read more

I totally recommend Sunflour Natural Bakery. Everything is high quality and delicious!

I test-tasted numerous chocolate chip challahs in the L.A. area. Sunflower is the EASY winner!

Delicious vegan scones. My wife and I enjoy 1 every morning with her tea and ny coffee

Bread was excellent .. wish there was a easier way to order than waiting for someone to call back

I absolutely love their Sweet Wheat Bread even though I can only find it at Whole Foods occasionally. Full disclosure, I have never actually been to the OC location. read more

I found this bread at Whole Foods. I get the 9 grain I think it is called. My favorite bread ever. Thick and hearty but tastes really healthy at the same time. I will be loyal customer as long as I live in the area. read more

UPDATED 06/20/07: WOW I never thought yelp's exposure was getting this wide. This week, I've been getting a whole bunch of PMs from various sources regarding yelp. One of those was from Sunflour Bakery's owner Kathy who asked me to go into her store so I could give her some opinion regarding her products. When I arrived she immediately was concerned about the review I wrote (see below) and how I didn't like their cookies. Well... I told her that the cookies on that particular day were not good. I told her that I did give her cake a great review though. So Kathy stood up and grabbed one of the decorated cookies from the display and asked me to try it. I opened the package and took a bit off. Hey, it was a sugar cookie with frosting. For a sugar cookie, it was good. Then she nudged us to try the chocolate muffin. Well, for something which had no dairy in it, was vegan, organic, gluten-free etc etc, it was great. The muffin was moist and had wonderful texture. Same with the other one (I didn't get the name of that one) with the swirl in it. I told Kathy "hey these are good, but the one I had when I wrote the original review weren't". As I was told, they do not specialize in cookies, but rather, their focus is on wholesale. Kathy said she was not too concerned about promoting the retail side of it. They do get some foot traffic, but their main focus is on the catering side: wedding cakes, birthday cakes, breads which are sold in stores such as Mother's Market etc. They are the ONLY Kosher bakery in the whole of Orange County. Basically, Kathy was concerned about my less than favorable review, but hey, I didn't give it 1 or 2 stars. I gave it 3 stars. However, I'm impressed with a business owner who took the time to find out what her customer(s) were not happy with and tried to rectify the situation. Plus, the things we sampled today were pretty good. I'm upping my review. 4 stars for the products available in the store. 5 stars for filling a niche market not served by any other business. 4.5 stars total. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tucked away in a small street amidst a residential area, it was pretty hard to find and even with instructions, we weren't quite sure if we were in the right area. Lil guy was attending a birthday party here so we tagged along. The bakery specializes in cookies and this time of year, in gingerbread houses too. We bought some of the cookies and they weren't all that great in taste however, to be fair, the birthday cake they baked was awesome. The birthday party comprised of plain cookies and the kids would decorate them. They were given baker's hats to wear while decorating the cookies. The kids got bored after about 45 mins and then started running around hitting each other with balloons. The concept is good (kinda like the one I had for lil guy at those paint your own pottery places) but only in theory. The 3 stars is for the cake. read more

In 1969 I lived in Costa Mesa and discovered the "German Home Bakery" - I lived in Orange County until 1973 and almost every Saturday i would drive over to Grace Street and get my German Bread - when I moved back to San Diego in 1973 I had no German Bread - disasterous - however, sometime in 1980's Tip Top Meats opened in Carlsbad and they carried German Bread - but since 1990 I've lived in Las Vegas and German Bread is almost unheard of - We do have a German Bakery but the bread is not like the German Home Bakery - I need to find out if they ship to Vegas - I will need to call them and find out!! read more

The best all natural bread i have eaten in a while. I love to eat healthy and try new foods and experience new foodie restaurants as much as I can just to enjoy a simple life with food however I am a diabetic at the low end where it can be reversed but every once in a while I will like many many slip up and eat tasteful carbs lol.. its just life and we like what we like but we just have to eat certain foods in moderation . I am so guilty right now because I can't even show a picture of the bread because I ate it all‍ read more

Sunflour Natural Bakery - Best all natural I've tasted - Bakeries Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

La mejor panaderia yo trabaje ahí por años y amaba los panes recién saliendo de el horno que delicia.

Love this bakery Every Friday getting challa bread and great cakes at this place Great quality friendly prices read more

The best bread out there that's available in a SoCal chain grocer (Whole Foods and others). My only complaint is that the Honey Whole Wheat (our hands down favorite) always sells out immediately, while other breads languish on the shelf. I often travel to both Whole Foods in Santa Monica, and both in Woodland Hills, only to find no Honey Whole Wheat, but plenty of other breads. This has been going on for years, but it is getting worse. Evidently most people prefer the Honey Whole Wheat, but it gets stocked in the same quantities as the others. Whoever is doing the marketing, please take note. You are losing sales! read more

Thank you for your contributions fellow yelpers. You have allowed me to recover places I thought simply just went under. Sunflour has the best white, wheat, squaw and sheepherder around...it's not debatable. The fact that they use Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses along with their variety of other worldly breads just cements the undeniable fact that the little guy will always have a special place outside the arena of almost ACME style mass production of mediocre sandwiches. read more

This bakery has the best gluten free cinnamon raisin bread. It used to be sold at the Santa Monica Whole Foods near me, I went there today was shocked that only carried their regular vegan breads. Couldn't find any gluten free bread. By the way, the bakery is still open. read more

Five stars for being the only pas yisrael kosher bakery in Orange County and for baking quality, wholesome bread. I've been buying their products for a couple years now, and I always make it a point to buy a loaf or two of their bread when I'm in town, either at this location or at Whole Foods. You can't go wrong with the bread, it being organic and made with real ingredients. The muffins are also satisfyingly moist and tasty. And a couple years back I bought a few fruit pies from them, which were delicious but I think they're seasonal. Don't expect much aesthetically from this storefront though, because there's not much going on there. It's small and not particularly exciting, and it always seems understocked to me, which is just an illusion because there's a bunch of different types of breads and all the baked goods. read more

It was ok... nice place and all... Service was kinda bad... they don't really want to talk to you unless you are buying something. They didn't want to help as much. I got their apple danish pockets and their blueberry cake. the danish was really rich but it was pretty good. their blueberry cake was gritty a bit from the sugar. but it was all pretty good. just expected a little bit more. I have yet to try their bread... thats next. read more

This bakery was very disappointing. While the cookies are large and thick, they taste very average. Iced cookies are $4.00 each. Sugar cookies are $5.99 for a package of six. I tried both varieties and was not impressed. The cookie base is the same, but the iced is topped with icing, and the sugar is topped with large sugar crystals. The cookies are beautifully decorated, though, so if you are looking for a gift that looks better than it tastes, I would recommend it over a place like Cookie Bouquet any day. read more

Sunflour Natural Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Such a hidden gem! It is a confusing entrance as they do not have a customer store front. The women working there were very kind and helpful. This is one of the rare Kosher bakeries. They also offer special orders for next day pick up. read more

I used to shop at the Sunflower Bakery when it was on 17th street in Costa Mesa. It was the best! AND........free samples of so much stuff, it was unreal. I was bummed when they closed the retail and moved. It took some time before I had found them again. We have used them several times for special sugar cookies in awesome shapes that we put into goodie bags. I can buy some of their pies, breads and cookies at Mother's Market and at Promeli's. They are fresh and very tasty. I love the cinnamon rugalach! But it just isn't the same as that first shop. I miss it! read more

Love the Challah bread from WholeFoods! Will need to visit the bakery, too! Did not realize it's a local bakery.

Great bread, friendly staff and a cool shop what's not to like.

I would choose -5 stars if possible. These people are liars. They charged me a fortune for cookies taht I ordered because they promised me they were organic. Long story short, not only were they not even remotely organic, they also had dyes (red, etc.)!!! My son has a medical condition and this could have been a disaster if I hadn't figured it out. We flew them to Atlanta from LA because there are no organic kosher bakeries over here. The owner admitted that she uses "only the finest ingredients" but that they are not organic. read more

This bakery is not closed. They make the BEST bread and its Kosher. There is a new owner and its 100 times better. They sell to Whole Foods and similar markets. You should look for them and try their product, I met the owner by accident in a whole foods store. Very genuine read more
