Panaderia Emanuel Bakery & Cafe Restaurante y Tienda Latina

This place isn't much to look at, but it's reasonably priced and there's a great selection of donuts, buns, pastries and cookies to satisfy everyone in the family. Definitely a diamond in the rough. They have booths here too if you want to sit down and eat. There's a good selection of other products, spices, and even pinatas for kids' birthdays.

I used to love going to this place for their yummy tamales and sweet bread, however a couple of weeks ago I went to buy some sweet bread and there was FLIES all over it. It was so disgusting I got nauseas and immediately walked out. This terrible experience has me questioning the sanitation regulations followed by this establishment. I definitely won’t be returning. They need to clean that place up otherwise I wouldn’t be surprised if OSHA come by there anytime soon.

Great tienda latina. I got the chorizo burrito and Mexican tamale for under $10. Can not complain! Tortilla was wonderful. Chorizo was tasty and burrito was packed. Tamale was fresh, the dough was tasty.

I ordered Napoleon cake for my daughter’s birthday. This was her favorite type of cake. I called the bakery on Friday of last week with the type, name (spelled letter by letter) on the cake and a small message. We are suppose to pick up the cake on Thursday of the following week. On Thursday we picked up the cake, paid and left the store without opening the box. At home I looked at the decoration and message (the name was wrong) the message was written on one side (left side) of the cake and the remaining surface is plain, and the writing was sloppy and not neat. I took the cake to my daughter’s house to celebrate her birthday, and around 9:00 pm we decided to cut the cake, and oh my god to our surprise it was a completely different cake, it was tres leches cake. No need to mention the frustration and embarrassment we faced but even the tres leches cake didn’t taste so good. I called them next day to explain the problem, but the lady who answered just hang up the phone. She said I am sorry and just hang up the phone after she heard my name and the issue I am calling her about. I tried to call back but the phone keeps giving me a busy signal. This will be my first and last time to order anything from this bakery, and I will keep this review for everyone’s to read and to be careful when dealing with this bakery because they are unprofessional people.

Very unhappy with the service they provided. I went to order a graduation cake their was a price change from when I initially ordered it, I asked for certain colors and at time for pick up the colors I wanted where not on the cake had to wait 15-20min for them to add the additional color. The worst part at the time to cut the cake there was two pieces of hair!! Very disappointing on $100 cake

Best panaderia south of Manassas! I love the guava empanadas. The only thing I miss about living in Stafford is this place.... okay, and Onelife?

Love this place. Hands down the best panaderia I've ever been too and that's coming from someone who's lived in San Diego for 30 years. Amazing baked goods, good prices, friendly staff. 10/10

Their breakfast slaps. Have had their breakfast burritos (which are huge), Chapin breakfast, and their tres leches. Their good is solid - 100% will have their breakfast every time. Bakery could maybe use a little work, but its still good. Only complaint is that the store itself is incredibly messy. Once that's sorted out, this place will really stand out as one of the best Spanish eateries in Stafford.

Got a tres leches cake it was delicious.

We bought a Rosca for Dia de los Reyes and it was so dry that people took a bite and threw it away. It broke my heart to throw food away but it WAS THAT DRY! I don't like trashing places like these bc I'm Hispanic and wish the best for this bakery. Our Hispanic culture takes pride in their work so I hope that this bakery can correct this issue and just "maybe" they can outsell more Roscas next year! My grandma made the best. Looking for her recipe.

My rare steak was burned

Good bread and food

Excellent Tres Leches cake! I placed the order and gave them instructions on how I would like it and it turned out exactly as I requested. It's hard to find bakeries that make tres leches so delicious. I was very happy with the service that Maritza offered us when I placed the order, she is very kind. / Excellent Tres Leches cake!

Great food

I never thought the food at this place was so bad!! I ordered 8 pupusas, 4 with cheese and 4 beans with cheese, they gave me burnt ones, and the cheese was ruined!! I called them and they told me to take them and the pupusas they gave me were messy and my husband and son are allergic to serdo!! And they gave me those pupusas for not returning the money!! Worst place to order food
