Great service and cake! I ordered the tres leches cake for a coworkers birthday. Everyone commented how wonderful and tasty it was. The only downside would be parking. I had a hard time trying to find somewhere to park. Drove around a couple of times but eventually double parked and just did a quick visit.

I purchased a cake from the bakery and had to write my own message on it…then was asked to pay $2 for candles lol. I did the work, give me a candle on the house.

Good tamales, affordable too. You can get tamales or pastry here and a great smoothie or licuado or agua fresca from the little juice shop next to it. There is an insiyand an outside seating area. I make a stop at Fruitcake BART just to come here !

I called the day before my husband's 50th birthday after calling several places to have a carrot cake ready for the next day. The guy asked the baker if it was possible and she said yes. They were able to have it ready for 11:00am. I arrived at this little place that did not resemble any bakery I've seen, so I was skeptical, but went ahead and completed my purchase. When I tell you this was one of the best carrot cake I've tasted. Full of flavor and moist. I would have made it myself, but we were coming from out of town. My mother in law and me makes killer carrot cake, but wanted a break, and glad we did. Great Job! Thank you!

Bakery El Sol is located inside the Fruitvale Market Place. Just a stones throw from Fruitvale Bart station. This bakery has a small section of baked goods which includes cakes, flan, etc. I ended up getting two slices of cake:Tres Leches: this was average at best. Not bad but not good either. For the price I don't think I'd get it again. $7 a slice for mediocre Tres Leches is a pass for me.Oreo Cake: it's looks and sounds good. Maybe it was old cake they served me but it was hard and dry. I probably won't be back to El Sol. Too many other bakeries serving superior cakes for the same price.

Great place to pick up a quick bday cake. Staff is very friendly and will write on the cake for free. (Btw beautiful cake writing) I paid $30 for a round Tres Leches cake; great flavors- very sweet and moist. FYI- store is inside a building with multiple store. Will help if you speak Spanish but staff does speak English.

Awesome place, a little difficult to find but SO worth it! My daughter loved her cake!

Cute little place with beautiful fresh pastries! It's kind of hidden in this tiny indoor market (which also has ice cream, elote, etc). Very nice staff and super yummy pastries!! The conche and bread pudding are my fave.
