21 Best Bakeries near Chualar

“Pulled over here completely by chance for lunch and was the luckiest thing that happened to me in months. The tacos were the best I have had in my life. They got our order slightly wrong once but it was still great because whatever you order there, you will be impressed, and they gave us an extra taco for the error. Turned out they were closing and they locked up right after we left but didn't even mention it to us after we repeatedly ordered more tacos because of how amazing they were. Tacos and pastries were super affordable and way too delicious. Whole place was extremely clean and they had an amazing, clean bathroom. Worth a detour.“

“Overall great customer service only problem is them staying open when there’s literally no more cookie flavors anymore but the cheesecake ones they can at least put a sign saying there’s only cakes left that way I won’t be in line only to be dissapointed, anyways I love this location because they are very friendly and their secret menu flavors are always excellent!!“

“They went above and beyond! I love how the cake turned out they really do take their time and you can tell this girls love their job! Thank you so much for this beautiful cake the birthday girl loved it“

“What a location! I didn’t know it was there right next to Planet Fitness. Buy your pastries then earn them by working out!

The sign is worn out but shh don’t tell anyone else about this place because they do sell out.

My favorite was the almond croissant!! I will for sure get that again. And maybe the cheese blueberry danish.

Prices are so reasonable for these!“

“They always have what I want. Buns, sweet bread, flan, cookies. $6.50 for a cake made of ham or turkey with everything! They accept EBT Yummy, fruit eaters made right in front of you. I love the green juice. Nice, sweet ladies always there. Neighborhood store that I will miss when I leave Salinas.

They always have what I want. Bolillos, sweet bread, flan, claws. $6.50 for a ham or turkey pot pie and they accept EBT. Flan for $3, many breads cost less than $1.75. The fruit waters and green juice are so delicious.“

“Came here for a pit stop and grabbed a torta. I meant to order something else, but language barrier (and my stupidity) ended up with me getting something different. I realized my mistake too late, so rolled with what they gave me. It wasn't bad, but I've had better tortas. I would come again, but try something different next time.“

“We ordered Mac City Macarons for Hospice Giving Foundation’s Fashion + Compassion event held today 8/24/2022 in Pebble Beach. The macaroons were our take-away gifts for over 170 guests. The macarons were packaged nicely with ribbons, delivered to the venue, and most importantly were fresh and delicious. Thank you Jackie and Isaiah Nickerson for your exceptional service and tasty treats. And much success and blessings with your new business! - Diane Camba Jackman, Sr Development Associate“

“Delicious tamales and very affordable! The lady was very nice and accommodated my large order. We came from San Francisco to visit family nearby and they were hot and fresh when picked up. Would highly recommend to those looking for a spot for tamales in general. We even took some masa back home, everything was good quality.“

“From cakes, to cookies, to pies, to quiche, to cream puffs, to bread...Ive had them all..the very very best..& Alex & Olga are 2 of the finest people I have ever known....you cant go wrong here...✌❤“

“Mejor pan de toda la zona! Muy limpia la panaderia y el personal muy profecional. Tengo aqui viniendo mas de 10 años por el pastel de cumple años de Mis hijas.“

“Healthy menu and great service“

“One of THE best bakeries in Salinas. Every cake we've ordered from here has gone abive and beyond our expectations. Our last cake we ordered was a moon cake in which we were expecting something pretty simple. Well the gal that runs the place did a frosting painting of a night sky with moon on it. Looked way better than what we were thinking about to begin with. (We were alsp pretty vague when we ordered and literally just said "moon cake") All I was expecting was a grey cake with some black circles, instead I get a Monalisa moon cake. Put far more effort than we ever expected. And the cake is incredible by the way. Frosting so soft its hard to even feel it. Best cakes and this is for sure our main bakery both for aready and going forward.“

“First time ordering from Cake Express and they did not disappoint. I was a walk in customer,I went in Staff was friendly and right away welcomed me in.I asked them if they could make a cake with a pic. for Sat.this was a Frid.1 day before the party.So I was hoping they didn't say it was not enough notice of time however got the opposite they quickly said sure what kind would you like! Results were amazing my daughter's photo looked amazing and the cake was yummy everyone enjoyed it and not to pricey either.“

“I was able to special order a Lemon Meringue pie and it was the best! It's hard to find a local bakery that makes lemon meringue pies. The crust was flaky, the lemon curd filling was not too tart, and the meringue was perfection! Everyone really enjoyed it! Thank you for doing special orders that are not listed on your regular menu.“

“A very busy place and of course it is good to have a warm drink and a delicious bread very early.
And I think that even the taste is more demanding, there is something to enjoy early and the lady who served me is attentive, a good place.“

“Very average panaderia but their deli food are so good i love going in to buy their tortas in the morning before work people make line just to aquire these beauties and yes they are worth the wait also the tamales they have on occasions are very delightful i would recommend checking them out if youre in the area looking for a quick bite to eat“

“We were redirected to the 101 due to the shutdown of the PCH and stopped for lunch in Gonzales, a very unlikely place for tourists to err... So we ended up in La Plaza bakery for a lunch made of perfectly executed burritos, tacos and tortas, a very helpful staff, delicious bakeries as dessert, all for a very reasonable price, which is always a good suprise in the usually overpriced state of CA. Well done La Plaza and keep up the great work!“
