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 .

Best Champurrado ever.
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?!!!?

Most of the bread tasted like the yellow cake that comes in a box
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

I had the tamales today. I ordered cheese and sweet tamales. It was absolutely gross. Starting with how greasy they were, I never saw so much grease in a tamal before. The cheese used for the tamales was hard and a weird orange color, while the masa had a very weird flavor. The tamal "de dulce" was disgusting. We had to throw it away. I am native Mexican and what they sell as tamales in this place is an absolute horror. Stay away!
The prices are ridiculous, for Catered left overs yes that's right they bring back left over food from catering parties and sell it again for double profit??They have rude people working the front counter have no knowledge of proper edicate customer service it's called common sense ?if the food didn't sit well now you know?shame on you
Love these people here at Chapala Bakery and their conchas are spot on especially when they are freshly
