I had called twice to make sure this was the right place to order my food for my friend. I don’t speak Spanish but the person I spoke to spoke English so that was ok.
When I was ready to order the person who answered did not speak English well enough for me to talk to them. I thought they said they were getting someone who spoke English and they hung up. I called again and what I gathered is that they don’t want to preorder the tres leches slices and conchas because it wasn’t a big enough order. I tried calling a third time because I needed to preorder for several reasons. One because I needed these to be labeled pineapple allergy and another because I am not picking them up I needed to pay now.
I tried a translator app and spoke using the small Spanish skills I know. Looking back this was a bad idea. The person I had been talking to put the phone down and got someone else who started yelling at me. She asked if I spoke French or something which I don't I tried to speak to her in English but she didn't seem to understand me. I was trying to order and at the point, she yelled do you speak English while I was trying to order in English was the point I said that was all goodbye and hung up.
I cannot believe a company would treat customers this way. I understand that we were having language difficulties and perhaps if I had not had such a good experience with the other employee I would have given up sooner. Again, I know they were having language issues and I don’t mean to be culturally insensitive but if some of your customers are going to be speaking English I think they should be able to talk to them without hanging up or yelling.

I highly recommend Durango Bakery for your events! This review is for LARGE ORDERS. I host events regularly through my job (almost every week) and have been ordering from Durango since 2018. I work with Germain (in English) to arrange large orders of pastries, but most recently, I ordered a full size Tres Leches sheet cake and two 12” Flan cakes. Not only was the sheet cake enormous, but it was also SO DELICIOUS and a very reasonable price. Having had many Tres Leches cakes before, I’ve tasted everything from super soggy to almost gritty textured cakes. This one was PERFECTION! Very moist, well-structured (so it didn’t fall apart when cut/served) and balanced in flavor. I am planning to order it again for my niece’s grad party! The Flan cakes were fantastic as well – silky, the right amount of sweetness, and looked wonderful after cutting/plating them.For large orders of pastries, Germain will arrange whatever I want but I’ve learned with events to just pick a few flavors instead of having too many to choose from. The pastries are always fresh and I see many delighted faces when they are eaten. These are few of my past orders:200 Churros: 100 filled with chocolate, 100 filled with cajeta230 Conchas (choc, vanilla, strawberry) and 230 Empanadas (pineapple and apple)Smaller order: 30 Conchas (choc, vanilla, strawberry), 30 Empanadas (pineapple, apple, crème), 30 Cookies (m&m, choc)Latest order referenced above: Full Tres Leches Sheet cake, 2 x 12” Flan CakesOverall, I value the consistency of their high-quality products, and the personalized customer service I receive when I work with Germain and Durango Bakery!

They have one of the best tres leches cake and it’s a must try. I loved the price points they have. $40 for a large cake is a lovely deal. They even have other bakery items and it’s a must try place. I loved the cheese cake they have. Service was good. Ambiance is not great and it’s not a place where you can sit and eat. It’s mainly a grab and go.

It's okay
Not sure why they have so many good reviews. Stale pastries, unflavored and dry
