I'm from the Northwest side I stopped into the Bakery I was so impressed how many different kinds of fresh pastries they had I bought a few they were delicious. I will be back again when I'm in the area.

On Wednesday, July 23, 2025 around 4:30pm I visited La Central Bakery located at 3306 W 55th St, Chicago, IL 60632. The location was extremely hot. The thermostat closest to the register showed 93 degrees. I asked the worker why she didn't have the air on. She said it was pointless because the ovens are just too hot and the air does make a difference. I asked for a specific type of bread that contains sweet potato. She said she had to bring it from the back because they didn't keep it in the front since it would get moldy due the heat. The next day my husband took this bread to work and called me saying that when he was eating it, it was sour. We had purchased another one for his friend and we had to kindly apologize and take it back. As soon as my husband told me, I called the bakery to inform them that their sweetpotato pastry was no longer good. I told the person who answered my concern about the air conditioner and how she should be more cautious with the bread. I told her I didn't care about the money. I just wanted to make sure she threw out that particular bread because it was no longer edible. She explain to me that the air conditioner was on but that the ovens were just too hot and they didn't make a big difference. I proceeded to say that I would in that case take all the bread back and that I would not be shopping here again. She said that she would give me my money back if I had the receipt and the bread but to be clear I was the only one who had complained. When I asked to speak to the owner, she said she was the girlfriend. At that moment, I said would rather lose the $26 I spent and place a complaint against the business because they could not possibly be in compliance with the health department. Something has to be done to improve the quality of the product. They need to invest in a better air conditioner.

This is my favorite place for teleras and conchas. Always fresh and when you need a big batch of them you can place an order beforehand.

Bread is good ! only thing if you call to talk to someone Nobody answers!

It's so packed in there. There's carts full of bread everywhere in between so you bump into people whichever way you go. The trays are in a low cart so it's very inconvenient to bend down and grab one. Then the workers come out rushing you to get out the way. I don't know why the bread isn't just kept in the storage areas

Hard and tasteless bread that they make a day before they only have a reputation and do horrible things, I wish no one would buy so that they can put good quality in their products

The sweet bread here is delicious! Love that they're not overpriced. The staff is friendly. The bolillos are a must try as well!
It is very expensive. Before they were fair prices. And I also think it's ridiculous that they can't give out plastic bags. Bread is already expensive, the least they can do is give the bag for 7 cents!
