Been to Chapala bakery #2 in Pasadena and have always had great experiences. Last night not so much I went and a young man didn’t even bother to greet us when walking in. Smelled like straight marijuana and didn’t seem to know what he was doing! Overall the bread is amazing and tamales are always great. Just lack of attention and good service.

I came here for the pan dulce. I thought it was a fair price for the bag and it tasted fresh and decent quality. I’m not sure how much each piece costs, next time I’ll ask. If you want cheaper bread it will not be as tasty. Street Parking is a little tight to get here, I wish it was a little easier. Also, their selection of pan dulce was less than I anticipated for a panaderia, perhaps they have low demand, but they have sufficient selection you have a pan dulce craving. I did think the conchas were superior to supermarket conchas. They are cash only, or Zelle, which I am not a huge fan of, but I can live with it, they are a small business, I think. They have a mural of La Virgen with flowers (offerings?) outside their store if you’re into that. Service was basic, I wasn’t greeted but didn’t expect to be. I will probably come again, for pan dulce.

This might have to be my new favorite place! Walked in to get some pan dulce and the young girl recommended we tried a rosca! She was packing them fresh it did not disappoint. Will definitely have to be back for more. Great service and friendly staff so welcoming.

First time there , Picked up some tamales Today as early as they open. From first appearance they look okay , but then you open it and eat it and they lack meat and flavor. Literally just masa with sauce!! Seems like they just made a dough ball and added little bit of chili and barely any pork/chicken . I picked up a few of each, their rajas con queso, green sauce chicken and their red sauce pork and a few strawberry flavor ones . My daughter's tamale had like one pinch of meat in her red sauce tamale as it was literally mostly masa into a ball.I also bought pan dulce and champurado , that was ok but very dissatisfied with their tamales. If you're going to charge over $3 per tamale at least make them good looking and with enough meat. If I wanted a masa ball i could've made one . I'm used to mine having the right amount of meat/chicken ratio to their dough just as they should! . These tamales lacked everything. Costco tamales sold in a bag are better and way more meat than these and those aren't the best either. If you want to be disappointed early morning and get ripped off this is the place to go .

Food is delicious. A bit pricey but then again, what isn't nowadays?!? The one complaint that I do have of this particular business is the tamales are tasty but they are quite stingy with the guisado. If you're going to be charging over $3 for a single tamal, it better be a well rounded tamal!? BTW, don't you hate how the majority of Mexican bakeries don't have the prices posted?!!!?

Bread got hard right away plus it was very expensive and didnt get much bread

I usually make my own Café de Olla but those of you that know about Cafe de Olla you know its a process. When I don't have time this is my place I have been coming here for about 2 years and I am not sure why I haven't rated this place yet. Well the people are extremely friendly and attentive to all customers. They address everyone with a smile and good morning. I like my coffee hot and this place doesn't disappoint. It comes out boiling just like I like it. If you don't be careful but it will be your own fault if you burn your tounge...lol....all that and I haven't mentioned the fresh bread and pastries made fresh everyday right there on site you can't get any fresher fruit filled just cinnimon or plane breaf get it all I've met the owners and their kids friends and family that work there. I am a customer for life. Trust me you won't be disappointed...

Surprised by the prices, the bread is very expensive and has no taste, the service is terrible and the worst thing is that I bought a strawberry smoothie for 8 dollars and they only gave me half and it wasn't even good, very bad place
