A cute little bakery! Family owned! The food is amazing. We ordered cupcakes for a birthday party with whipped cream topping! Had the order ready and boxed up for transportation. The vibe is really home feeling. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have ordered cakes from this place so many times before and I have never had such bad customer service. The lady did not want to give me her name. I will definitely try and contact the owner to let him know this lady is scaring away business. Today they have lost a loyal customer. read more

Horrible customer service. No interest in finding what I was looking for. Very rude. Won't ever call or go here.

The first time I stopped in for a quick bite I was honestly pleased. service was great not to mention the burrito I had. She is a keeper and I always refer the business and take unexpected breakfast to my employees here and there. Thank you :0 read more

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! read more

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. read more

We came to get a cake that should have been ready over an hour ago. We called and they said they were super busy but when we got there there was literally no one else in there. Poor customer service. They were mumbling rude comments and they had two days to make the cake and it wasn't even ready. She kept saying she was busy but as I said before there were no other customers in the shop. read more

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. read more

The reason for the one star is the disrespectful lady who helped my husband! We been coming here for years but these past months we go for either Mexican bread or tamales on Sunday's! These past 3 times my husband has been going in using my debit card which NEVER once has anyone asked him for ID then today the bitch had a hair up her ass & decided to hand him the Mexican bread & tamales then asked who's card it was & he said"My wife's" she said I need ID so because he was tattooed n Chicano looking like a cholo she judged him. First off the area is all bad I get it but really he works his ass off & his money is in the same account. We are really not going back after this because no one that used a card got carded in there and there was 2 other couples who payed with Cards. Thanks for the cold tamales too!! We live near the other Mill Bakery but they don't sell tamales so that's why we come here but they will be loosing our business. read more

The best bread in Orange County so far. This place sell out super early so you must arrive very early!!! The bread is very creamy and doesn't taste like synthetic process sugar like most places. Love this place. read more

Story of the sad croissant. Came in here on a Thursday. Place looks like classic Santa Ana, or at least what I imagine it to be. It's a dump inside but it excites you to think that this could be a hole in the wall, hidden treasure. Thus, my expectations were still low- any reasonable pastry will suffice. Somehow this bakery didn't meet me there. I bought the croissant today and for a split second I thought it must have been a display croissant that had been left out for days. One bite and in the garbage unfortunately. This place doesn't even rival a grocery store bakery, let alone other bakeries in the area. Forgive me if the owners are old, but pride of ownership has left a long time ago. Their last followers will soon abandon them with service like this. There is just no excuse for it. The cost of the croissant was $1.50. I understand what I'm paying for. I tipped 100%. But I could buy an 8 pack of trader joes frozen croissants, sell them for $1.50 and I'd still be making profit... and have an immensely better product. Sell the bakery and pass the baton already. read more

That's right I AM a fan of Mill Bakery! I live in a predominately Asian community and found out the hard way that only 3 cake flavors are readily available: vanilla, chocolate or coffee. I called about 2 weeks in advanced and asked if I could order a marble cake and I was turned down over and over again. I finally got an ok at Van's Bakery in Garden Grove. Called ahead of time and everything checked out. When I arrived, the lady told me I would have to order a larger cake ~$45-50. I couldn't understand this because I had called ahead of time and was quoted a price. I didn't need a larger cake.. I left in a huff to say the least and picked up where I left off on my search for a bakery that would do marble (now about 6:15pm). I found Mill Bakery and called. The gentleman who answered was very kind and professional! When I asked about the marble cake he simple replied, "yeah that's no problem!" The price for the marble cake was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than I was quoted anywhere else!! I didn't realize that I had called 15 min after they were closed and they STILL answered!! He asked me to call back the following morning to order the cake. they are open very early! So convenient!! I called in the morning and the lady I spoke to was very helpful and worked with me on the decorations. The cake was ready for pick up and I had one very happy birthday boy! The cake was tastefully decorated, very moist and the frosting was not too sweet. This place is excellent for cakes and I will have to be back to try the other items like tamales and pan dulce!! Yay Mill Bakery! read more

I came here for my husband's cake because of the reviews. I ordered a custom decorated cake. I thought it would come out amazing since the other customer pics look great. When they brought the cake home, I was really disappointed. The cake decoration was not even completed. My cake was half way done. It looked nothing like i asked for. It was a very simple decoration that was left undone. They charged me top dollar since it was custom, and the cake fell below expectation. I think I will take my business else where. read more

I drive by this place all the time as it is right by by clinic so thought I'd stop sometime and check it out. It's small, but has friendly staff and most importantly has a decent selection of my most beloved Pan Dulce. I can't speak for the cakes or other pastries or donuts, but as far as the Pan Dulce, it's delicious. Soft, flaky on the outside with hints of cardamom and cinnamon and covered in a delightful sugary dust. Just beware of the sugar and crumbs from the bread that they don't end up all over your face and car like they did on mine...but then again I guess I probably should have waited the 10 mins to takes to drive home :) Also enticing was the fresh orange juice and carrot juice I saw them making- will have to check it out next time I'm done with work early! read more

Delicious! A bag of pan dolce (?) 4 for $2! And the gentleman who greeted me was very polite (we spoke a brief moment in Spanish, even though I have not spoken in Spanish in a long time, before the manager came to assist us). Oh! And the apple fritter was very tasty! Even at 5:30pm in the evening. read more

Never ordering here again!! I placed an order a week ahead and confirmed the pickup time at 4:30. I had made arrangements to have someone pick it up since I was unable to. There hours say 6pm which is not correct. The day I was suppose to pick up the cake she called around 2pm that I had to pick it up at 4pm because that's the time she closes. She called me very angry saying that she had an "emergency" and started screaming saying she was not gonna be there after 4. On the phone she litterally said "i am not gonna argue with you either come pick it up or dont get your deposit back!" So unprofessional for a business to act like this especially when someone is still willing pay for there cakes during these times. read more

This bakery came up on my search for vegan bakery options. I realize I live in Santa Ana and a lot of people speak Spanish and I do my best to communicate. But, when I called the bakery to inquire as to whether they had any vegan pastry and/or cake available, the person who answer just continued to answer my questions with "Que". That was it, nothing more. This quickly became pretty annoying, even when I did my best to use what Spanish I do know to help communicate my questions. I finally got frustrated and just said okay, thank you, never-mind... and she hung-up. I'm assuming someone at this venue speaks some amount of English, even if it's not good English, who might have been able to help me. Or, simple she could have just said she didn't speak English, I know that sentence very well and it would have much more polite. It's clear this business has no intention to gain new customers! read more

I used to like this bakery until today. I usually order my bread before i go. Today they had no biscuits and the semas were no longer made from wheat. When i asked them why they were changing the ingredients of their bread the lady ( who by the way is super nice) she said there is a new baker who is in charge of the bakery. I thought ok then let me buy sweet bread as I wanted to taste it. The conchas didn't taste the same and the bread called " nido " was very dry and had no taste at all. I felt i was eating masa. No worth the commute, no worth the calories if its something that im not gonna like. I used to go on the weekends eat some sweet bread and coffee and sometimes a Tamal from a lady that by the way makes really good tamales. In my mind the Mill Bakery was kind of a unique Mexican Gourmet Bakery but im sad to say that it is not anymore. . It will be hard to find a place like this again.... im so sad. The type of bread i found today i can find it everywhere. I used to go there for the quality of their bread but it is not there anymore. :( I read more

They have good bread but the service sucks. One of the ladies is so rude. She started giving my husband and I attitude because we wanted to buy one of the day old bread. If it's not for sale then why even have it there? She was extremely rude! read more

I stopped by this bakery a couple of days ago and got a sugary croissant and a Christmas donut (it had red and green sprinkles on it), both of which tasted very good. This place is close to my work, and the staff here are very nice and the prices are very affordable. It's a small place, but there are tables to sit and eat at. They have coffee and cakes here, too. It's worth trying :) read more

How does this place not have a review ? I noticed it while driving to my parents house and thought to myself, what the heck ? are they giving away free bread ? There are plenty of benches inside this small bakery/donut/coffe place and its always packed until about noon. I decided to pop in and wow am I glad I did ! The donuts are delicious and have a non greasy taste that is actually light ! The coffee is even better if you like a basic cream and sugar coffee coffee. read more

I'm going to keep it nice and simple. Came here around 11 am on a Friday, the place is small has a variety of selection from donuts to Mexican sweet bread. Their pastries were good not the best but a little above average. The older gentleman was polite and was not rushing us, which I appreciated since I had seen him pretty busy in the back making bread. Overall, great place if you want to get decent Bread and donuts. They also sell cakes which looked pretty good. read more
