Went this morning Tuesday around 9am it wasn’t busy at all. Plenty of parking. It smelled great. Lots of options. Most items $2.50 each. I got a few different things: concha’s, cookies and corner sponge cake. The corner sponge cake I am sure that’s not its actual name but that’s my to go Mexican bakery item. It’s was delicious. The perfect combination of sweetness and freshness. Not dry at all spongee and hits the sugar craving needs without over powered sweetness. Will come back. Only reason I’d not give it a 5 star was person who helped me out was very serious and not welcoming at all. They make delicious baked goods. Check it out. Maybe next time I go I’ll get a smile.

I stopped in the other day and had a great experience. When I came in, I was warmly greeted. She was on the back and said she would be up in a second, and I said it's all good, no rush. I was just looking. She emerged from the back and said hello and asked me if I had any questions to please ask. At first, I did not see the cookies but maneuvered my mobility scooter and found them. I picked a few out for my step-dad and kids and went to pay for them. She very politely asked if everything was ok with me and why i was on a scooter, which then struck up a friendly conversation about how she felt good for me and my positive attitude and knew I will be better and walking again.I really appreciated the conversation and will definitely be back.?? The cookies were just like I remembered them too.

A business that doesn’t respect a customer is a business I’ll never give my money to. ( the doña at register completely ignored me when I was next in line I was right in front of her and she helped another customer from beside, completely ignoring me. That’s terrible customer service.)

I dont usually leave reviews but I was expecting better for the prices. The bread is quite expensive compared to other places and the bread was hard. The polvorones were really hard definitely not baked the same day. The rest of the breads did not taste fresh and were pretty flavorless.

Pan dulces were delicious and the staff was really friendly a little pricey but definitely worth it ??

We bought a whole box, all the bread was old, for the quality and flavor (not so good) I think this place is very expensive, it's not worth going there, nothing was fresh. Very disappointing, it shouldn't have a score of 4.3 on Google because you really think it's going to be a good place.

Love this panadería! Moved to the Bay Area during the pandemic and this was the first bakery I’ve been too and haven’t gone anywhere else. The people are super nice and the bread itself is amazing! There’s a reason for their 4 star rating and the quality of the bread is ?. Please support this shop as it’s a family owned business!

I was craving pan and I haven’t been here in years and thought I’d try it again. I was impressed by how the pan looked, elegant and of quality however, the looks don’t match the taste. I tried the cookie with pink layered glaze which I found to be too hard that I had to dip and soak it in my coffee, I have tried these cookies from other places and they are soft which is the way I like them. I also tried a Guayaba puff pastry and found it to be the same.
Also, they have significantly increased their prices per piece. This cookie was 3$
I wish they had samples before spending 40$ on 12 pieces of assortment of pan, I don’t mind paying a high price but I expect the taste/quality to match the price.
And to my surprise they charged 3.00$ for the carton box that they packed the pan into !!! WTH??!! I found it to be absurd!! I would not be surprised if next they want to charge for a printed receipt !!
I definitely won’t be coming here anymore.

I had a full house of family visit and I bought a box for everyone. Not a single person liked it, 19 people ate and we ended throwing everything away. Bread felt real old the only reason I drove there for the first time because of 4.3 rating! It shouldn't even have a 3 star....
