OC Baking Company

I ran across this company at the local farmers market in Orange. Near the old packing district on Saturdays and Sunday’s.
The sourdough bread they make is to die for. It has the best flavor and is always fresh and never stale. They offer all types of bread and bagels. Every offering they bake is wonderful. The bagels with some cream cheese, heaven!
I wish I would’ve taken a picture of the stand. I will next time I am there. You have to see the awesome selection of breads they offer.

We used OC Baking co’s bread to make tea sandwiches for a baby shower, and everyone was raving about the bread! My fave was the jalapeño wagon wheel bread and the cheese bread. Delicious bread and super sweet company!

This is not good. I am obsessed with OC Bakery’s Cranberry Walnut bread — soft but hearty, just slightly sweet, FRESH walnut chunks — Amazing !
Fabulous prices at Orange Farmer’s Market. Can’t wait to try the onion, garlic, rosemary … This is definitely not good, I am going to have to do way more exercise.

We’ve been getting our bread from OC Baking Co. and their master baker Dean Kim for the last 2 ½ years. We created and built The Real Deli and Dana Point with some of the best bread ever tasted in my life, all of which contributed to our extreme success in such a short period of time.
Thank you everyone at OC Baking for being such an integral part of our food success. Being that this was our first project, and neither of us have ever worked in the food industry, having your product at our side was the best ammo we could ask for.
Keep ruling the OC; Keep rocking the bread world; Good luck on your move next year!

This is easily the best baking company, because hands down Dean Kim is the best baker — he not only makes perfectly soft, tasty, sophisticated bread for every loved restaurant and hotel in Southern California, but he is so kind, generous, and humble. He’s the real deal. You can’t help but want to support his business. We are so lucky to have Dean Kim and OC Baking Company here. I will keep taking the kids here to buy more bread!

The only thing you need to know is that this is the BEST BREAD EVER!
I have eaten a lot of bread in my time and this is something special. Dean is not only creative but a master bread maker. Everything I have eaten from him is outstanding… really awesome.
It would be hard to choose a favorite bread… just go to the old town orange farmers market, close your eyes, and pick one. Or ask them for help… their focus is on customer service, so you wont have trouble getting help.
Outstanding bread and customer service!
6 stars!

Dean Kim is a bread magician! The artisan type breads he makes are ridiculously good. All HAND-​crafted! He works with a variety of very high end hotels and restaurants that require a type bread magic that he consistently provides for them. If you have been to a fancy restaurant in OC, you’ve probably already had his bread without knowing it.
I had a Swedish grandmother that baked bread weekly, and have been to bakeries all over the world… I can say that Dean’s bread can stand up to them all on a bread throw-​down contest!
Personally I have had the luxury of trying many different types of his bread, you can’t go wrong with any of them. It really depends on the dish you’re serving and your taste preferences. For example some people don’t like rye and never will… although they haven’t tried Dean’s as of yet.
If I substitute his bread with another I feel like I am getting short changed, and I am always comparing other artisan breads to his. Also, if I were in the food business, I would be ordering from this guy daily since you really can’t compete with his quality internally. More than likely he can match if not exceed
He makes some monster sized loafs that have such a great crust and the inside crumb is so delicate and soft! However, it’s really about the crust for me.
Trained like a Pavlov’s dog, I am salivating looking at the pictures:
Personal favorites:
Sourdough (s) — ALL
Whole Wheat Cranberry Walnut Baguette (served with goat cheese and red wine)
Squaw for Sandwiches
Potato Sandwich Loaf
Large loafs

The bread at OC Baking Co is not just regular bread. It is the best bread you will ever eat. The french loaves are bubbly and crispy on the outside, and soft on the sinde. The marble rye is thick and hearty, with the perfect amount of caraway. The brioche is thick and buttery, for the perfect french toast. I bring this bread to work sometimes and everyone oohs and ahhs and has to know where it came from. It is true artisan bread. Seek it out — you will be glad you did.

When we decided to open a deli, using OC Baking Company’s bread and Boar’s Head meats was a no-​brainer. Dean Kim is a genius! Not only is he the best baker in town, he’s also the kindest.
We wanted to start off with the highest quality and freshest ingredients, especially the bread. Dean had specially created a unique baguette for us, which is crusty on the outside, yet airy and not too dense inside. It is exactly the perfect platform for our sandwiches!
We are picking up the bread daily now but hope to meet their delivery minimum soon. So far, we’ve heard only positive feedback from our customers regarding the bread. I think we hit the bread jackpot with Dean’s special creation!

I get my buns delivered every morning from here and have received many compliments from our customers about how great our bread is.
The staff is extremely nice and very accommodating. My only complaint would be that sometimes are bun sizes are consistent and it throws off my meat to bun ratio for my burgers.
If they could become more consistent with it, I wouldd definitely revise my review to a 5 star.
Overall: Great establishment with wonderful customer service.

We use their bread everyday and our customers love it!!!
Marble rye with squaw bread, potato buns and frenceses are very delicious:)
Thank you very much and keep it up guys!

The best!!! Run to orange farmers market! Wish they would open a storefront!!!

Picked up a smaller, multi-​grain loaf yesterday at the Old Towne Orange Farmer’s Market. There are lots of options in types of bread but also sizes of loaves. I had a piece this morning for an early morning slice of toast and am a fan. The bread has great flavor, quality and texture. Worth an extra dollar than a store bought loaf of bread to support a local business in my opinion.

Best bread in Orange County! My favorites are the marble rye, multi-​grain, and OC baguette!

Bought a loaf of olive bread today at the Orange Farmers Market and it was absolutely amazing. Wonderful kalmatta olives and great texture. Can’t wait until next Saturday!

Absolutely 5 stars on everything I have tried so far. I was introduced to Dean and his dream team a few weeks ago. So far, I have tried and loved their marbled rye bread, and multi-​grain bread. The loaves are huge, 3 pounds each, so even my hungry family can’t consume that fast enough, so I froze the loaves and just take a couple pieces out a time and they are marvelous. The cranberry walnut bread is very hearty and different in a good way. The baguettes are perfect, crusty outside, soft inside. I had half a baguette left so I made petite french toast with it which was a huge hit for breakfast. Looking forward to trying all of the different items.

Dean Kim is an amazing baker. We have been serving his artisan breads at the restaurant for the past four years. Who would have thought a Korean can make breads this good. One star for he’s number ONE!!!
