Picked up a cane for a Thanksgiving party and Tres leches cake was moist and great . Highly recommend this place .
The cakes, pastries, and food sold is delicious! The tres leches cake is highly recommended!
Tamales in the mornings, lots of pastries, cakes, and holiday catering. Go early for tamales. Parking is bad. Friendly, clean, small Mexican bakery
I've only had empanadas arroz so far, but they are absolutely delicious! I was told they are available at noon everyday. Can't wait to try other items!
They have a wide range of yummy treats and have much later hours than your typical bakery. Everything was well labeled so you knew exactly what everything was while looking around. It would be nice if they also had the prices on the description so you know upfront what you are paying. My favorite treat was the chocolate candy sugar cookie. Customers can load up their own tray and then bring it to the register to be bagged up and pay. I would definitely stop by again to try more of their treats!
Always drive by this place small bakery, stopped by today because I wanted a rosca ....the small one was available but looked kinda small so I asked for a medium which they grabbed from the back...I payed and when I got home I realized the medium looked exactly like the small didn't even fill the box either way it was good but I'll stick to Karinas Bakery which is around the corner .
Very friendly staff members. Love their tres leches cakes. The cakes are so yummy, fresh and rich and melts in your mouth. They have fresh breads and donuts which are made everyday and they all taste so good. I have tried almost all breads and all are good. They make wedding cakes as well which you can order. I got to know they have hot chocolate and i need to try that next time for sure.
Wow, an amazing selection of cakes, tarts, pastries, and other sweets here presented in a very nice and attractive manner here in beautiful display cases. Browsing through the selection is a joy as the layout of the bakery makes it easy to walk around and check the different options and the air conditioning is turned on to a pleasantly cool temperature. Variety and cheap prices make this an instant draw for anyone living in the area and looking for Mexican pastries. This is made fresh throughout the day for maximum quality. One drawback is the lack of labeling for different items, but this isn't too difficult to figure out from the little differences in decorations or ingredients on each pastry. Surprisingly, one of the best items I tried here was the cake donut. The cake donut is very soft and moist, full of flavor. The yeast donut is huge, though a bit on the dry side. The cakes are extremely moist, with a nice density to them. The sugar cookies are nice and crisp, with a slightly fluffy and firm dough. I really enjoyed the cinnamon cookie, which had a nice strong earthy flavor and was similar to a biscotti. The apricot pastry had a nice filling, almost like a jam although it wasn't too crispy. The milk bread had a nice light sweet milk flavor, and a pleasant texture. Overall, a nice place to get a wide variety of pastries. Good given the price, though many different items were pretty similar in flavor and overall "soft" was a common texture between most items I tried. Still, I enjoyed the items I tried.
