20 Best Bakeries in Downey

“So sad that this place is so far from me, it's pretty clean everything looks so delicious, the line when I went wasn't too bad and it flew by quick, that tres leches cake BOMB! My mom's not too much of a sweets fans but she loved the cake, it's a bit pricey.“

“My first time there wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Upon going in they had a nice little crowd, the staff was nice and helpful. So my box of 4 cookies $19 was brownie batter, not bad, could use some nuts walnuts, or pecans, . My favorite cookie chocolate chip also could use some nuts walnuts or pecans and cooked a little longer. Next was funnel cake. Kind of like that one crunchy, not sure if it really tasted like funnel cake, but I liked it. Then cake batter thins not too bad either.“

“This place is truly a gem, the quality in these desserts is incredible. The only complaint my family has is the portion size. The cake should all be cut to fit the size of the container as this is standard at any bakery that sells tres leches. If not the whole container at least keep a consistent size, we have bought multiple times in the past 3 months and plenty for our family and neighbors to try the different flavors of cakes and desserts and this is the one thing that stood out.

Not to mention, the desserts are definitely overpriced in general/vs the local competition in Downey. Portos and Tropicana have a wider recognition in the city and a large clientele and their prices are lower across the menu. You can get a trio which is a huge slice of cheesecake/tres leches/flan for under $6 and here at Papa Churros a slice of either is $6. If people will support Papa Churros due to quality and taste at least give the customers their moneys worth.

As I stated the quality is great, they definitely have a good baker making some great products from scratch back there. I highly recommend but try to get a slice of something in person vs ordering online for pickup or delivery.“

“Buen pan Mexicano fresco del dia tortas tamales buen servicio“

“El pan está muy rico y el menudo mucho más rico 😋 y son muy amables las señoras ofrecen un buen servicio 👍🏻“

“Pasteleria 3 Luceros is a hidden gem in Downey with some of the best churros, flan, and cakes I’ve had locally. Esperanza and her family have been running the shop for over 20 years and you can genuinely taste the care they put into everything they make.

Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. The churros were crispy, warm, and honestly addicting.

If you’re looking for cakes for birthdays, parties, or any special occasion, I highly recommend supporting this local family-owned business. Definitely one of Downey’s underrated spots.“

“I tried this place for the first time about 2 1/2 weeks ago and returned for my third time this morning. I love their donuts (all of them) and the people that work there are such a pleasure always smiling, nice and helpful. 10 out of 10! Get your donuts here!!!“

“todo delicioso 🥯🍩🥖muy buen servicio 👌 🤤“

“The atmosphere is amazing. The front of the restaurant looks like an old timey diner that has been very well maintained but not remodeled (which is a good thing). In the back is a bar which is quite intimate and a nice place to have a late breakfast on a Sunday morning.“

“My absolute FAVORITE and ONLY place I will eat bread. My personal favorites are the mini pan de sal and pan de leche. Both of these and all the others are like heaven and n your mouth. They are soooooo fluffy and deliciously made that I could never eat any other pan.“

“Wow! We are so very pleased with the professionalism, presentation, and deliciousness of our cupcakes! We even ordered some dairy-free ones and they were soooooo good! It was hard to believe that they didn't have an ounce of dairy. My guests were uber pleased and even asked for the owner's information for their events. I love this company's flexibility with vegan options. We will be on repeat for sure!!!!“

“Exelente lugar muy Rica la comida y los postres chocolate caliente y sus cafés lo recomiendo.“

“Mi mas grade a dicción por estas delicias de antojos mi debilidad“

“la atención y los sabroso de los pasteles“

“Love this place. Everything we’ve tried so far has been fantastic.“

“The employees were very friendly and gave quick service. They pressed the ham and cheese croissant so it was nice and hot. They have a wide selection of food with their breakfast, lunch, and desserts available- with both good prices and quality. We will definitely return!“

“I work around this area and I stop by this place quite often. The lady here is super awesome! I like anything with cinnamon and their cinnamon buns are delicious. My partner likes the blueberry croissants and lately I have been getting the ham and cheese and jalapeno. One of the few places where they still trow and extra donut or donut holes for free.“

“I've gone to a lot of donut shops in my years and this is my favorite donut shop by far. They not only have the cheapest turkey and cheese croissant, but it is also the best tasting! The donuts are always soft and fresh and yummy. The staff are all very friendly and they always throw a couple donut holes in with whatever you purchase. Coffee is hot and tastes great, with at least 2ccreamer selections right there at hand. and on top of all this. I have gotten the majority of my winning scratchers from their little in shop kiosk. win win win!“

““cocopuff latte” and “Banana latte” so delicious both of them! It doesn’t have that fake nasty overly sweet taste. Expresso was perfectly balanced in these lattes. If you enjoy fun crafted coffee's this is your place!“
