Eller Bakery
1651 Placentia Ave, Costa Mesa, CA
Crema's Take
“Eller Bakery draws serious attention for its commitment to freshly milled flour and technique-forward baking, creating standout moments like their sourdough croissants and impressively crafted egg sandwiches that rival spots like Tartine. The airy, inviting space makes it a genuinely appealing spot to linger over specialty drinks and light breakfast, though execution can be inconsistent—some dishes like their avocado toast shine brilliantly while others fall short of the quality promise.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I was so looking forward after I google it. But it turns out to be a bit disappointing. They don’t have enough of parking and just difficult to find a spot so my husband drop me off and we decided to ordering to go instead. Atmosphere is nice and staffs are friendly. The line is…
