Five stars honestly isn't enough to express what Alebrijes Bakery means to me and my family. I grew up visiting my grandparents in East LA, and some of my sweetest childhood memories are of the old-school panaderos driving through the neighborhood in their vans, honking their horns and selling fresh pastries. That smell, that warmth, that feeling of home--it's something you don't forget. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Alebrijes Bakery is the only place I've found that truly brings me back to those memories. From the moment you walk in, it feels authentic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bread is incredibly fresh and tastes like the same recipes I remember as a child--nothing commercial, nothing rushed, just real, traditional pan dulce made with care. Even though my grandparents have recently passed, this bakery has become a place where I can still honor those memories. It's local to my home here in Rancho Cucamonga, and now I get to bring my own children in so they can experience the same flavors, smells, and culture that shaped my childhood. That old East LA Hispanic tradition still lives here--and Alebrijes is keeping it alive. This place has become part of our family traditions, and I'm so grateful for it. If you're looking for authentic pan dulce, nostalgia, and heart, this is it. read more

Alebrijes Bakery on Lemon in Rancho Cucamonga is just as fantastic as the Baseline location, which is saying a lot since that one set the bar pretty high for me. It's great to have a second option for their sweet bread because everything is consistently fresh and delicious. This location is especially convenient, sitting right off the 210 at Haven, which makes it dangerously easy to pop in. I appreciate that the quality feels the same no matter which spot you choose. If I am craving pan dulce, Alebrijes on Lemon is always a reliable and very tempting stop. read more

The quality of their pan dulce is good. My favorite thing about them is that they make small versions of the traditional pan. People often don't want to indulge in the full sized pan so, it's nice to be able to serve a tiny version that's just as tasty. read more

Food: pan dulce, tortas, and tamales are my go to. I can't say enough about the tortas and tamales except for the yummy weight gain lol- no regrets. Service: ALWAYS friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: not much ambiance as it is literally a 5 by 10 spot where pan dulce is in little cupboard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely come here more than I should but who can resist the delish items offered here. read more

Splurged a little today on my way to pick up dinner. This is a small bite bakery with a pretty good assortment of Hispanic bread. I got a few items and they did not disappoint. The cookies were crunchy and the empanadas were really good as well. They had a sign that said tamales but I didn't buy any and I'll definitely be back to try those the service was great too. Best part was that it was affordable. I only spent 10 bucks for a bag full. read more

This place was okay... a lot of the good stuff was taken when I got there so I'll have to come back and try again. The service was pretty good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside of this place was cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Alebrijes Bakery - Lemon - Half eaten but enjoyed the best tamale in RC - Bakeries Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

This is a review. I've been meaning to do. Visited over three months ago before they had been claimed on yelp. Absolutely loved this little shop. I bought two dozen of their mini breads and pastries. Everyone at my restaurant enjoyed them with their morning coffee. We will definitely be, buying from them again. The owner gave me a quick description of all the pastries. Gave me recommendations and assisted in picking out specialty items that I never heard of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a fun and lively interior, and I enjoyed the great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next time I will take pictures of the interior but, until then I'll just enjoy! read more

Best pan dulce! Highly recommend them for your next cake order and conchitas with your coffee ! Service is great and they are friendly/helpful! read more

Alebrije's is the best. I've ordered cakes from the first location for years. This time I ordered from the Lemon location. I needed a cake for Thursday (on a Tuesday afternoon) and other bakeries would not take my order. I called Alebrije's and they took my order happily. This cake was amazing! Strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting. They decorated it exactly how I envisioned. I brought in the mermaid toppers and they decorated it perfectly. My daughter loved her cake! read more

Great old fashioned pan dulce. Recipes remind me of the Ontario Panaderia Bocanegras! For those of you old enough to remember!! Good prices and fresh bread every time!! read more

Best bolillos ever! Fresh and soft. Took on a camping trip for tortas and didn't get to them until 3 days later. Still as soft as the first day. Super good with a little bit more sweetness to them than others I've had. Would be amazing with Mexican hot chocolate! read more

I was really excited to try out this place as we lack a lot of Mexican food/shops in Rancho Cucamonga. I came here to grab things for my son's birthday. The best one we tried was the sprinkled cake. Everything else was a bit dry and not as flavorful as we'd hope. We used to be next to Cardenas, so we are used to their fresh yummy bread and all the options. We will give this place another try soon as we went when they were fairly new. read more

Such fresh and well priced Mexican pan dulce and cookies. I've gotten two custom cakes from the other location and they've always impressed.

I have to been all their locations and can say the quality is consistent. Wonderful and moist bread with a huge selection.

I visited this location looking for good quality bolillos after having no success in Redlands and this has to be the best bolillo i've had since moving to the IE!! this location like the other two have the best bolillo! read more

Love this place everyone is so friendly and the service is great! Love all the pastries and drinks!

I ordered 12 mini concha hearts for a Mother's Day celebration at work--4 pink, 4 hot pink, and 4 half pink/half purple. I also paid extra to have each concha individually packaged for easy distribution. However, when I arrived, none of the items were packaged as requested. I had to go back inside to inform the staff, which delayed the pickup. Once the packaging issue was addressed, I noticed that the conchas meant to be half pink/half purple were just pink. When I asked about it, a staff member confirmed they were supposed to be purple and said the colors change during baking. However, the conchas on their display screen clearly showed a vibrant purple that did not match what I received. I was told there was nothing they could do besides offer an apology. Overall, the experience was disappointing. The product did not match what was advertised, and the added service I paid for was initially overlooked. I won't be returning if consistency and accuracy can't be guaranteed. read more

I am super picky when it comes to pan dulce and conchas. Alebrijes is hands down the best you're going to find. Love their food, their service, and every thing they stand for. Keep up the good work! We love y'all. read more

Go here all the time! Always fresh and almost every time warm conchitas (my fave). Glad they opted to open in Rancho!

Amazing Bakery !!! The staff is always helpful & all the goodies taste so delicious. Greatly appreciate the variety that you carry. Can't wait to host again just to provide your Pan Dulce to my family. read more

The best! I recently moved to Rancho Cucamonga after living in Chula Vista, where being close to Mexico made it easy to find truly good pan dulce. When I moved, I started looking for a panadería here and found this gem. The pan dulce is delicious, and I also tried the Rosca de Reyes, which was amazing. I truly appreciate how they support and represent our Latino community . Gracias, Alebrijes! read more

Finally there is a true Mexican style bakery that offers traditional favorites like conchas and new offerings like individual pineapple upside down cakes. Great selection. When I travel back to San Antonio three or four times a year, I take my brother 40 of these. They are gone in a heartbeat. We have ventured on to their tortas and boy are they delicious. "All the way" means that the fat sandwich, ham or turkey, is dressed with queso fresco, escabeche, lettuce , tomato and avocado for a small upcharge. All of this is on their house baked large bolillo. It is about $10 and to think another option might be a Jersey Mikes for 3x the price or a Subway without the flavor punch. Give yourself a treat for a decent price. We always have enough leftover for another meal. read more

The bread is fresh abd a decent price. The customer service is great The ladies are very nice and take pride in what they offer at the Bakery. read more

Great service and amazing sweet bread. They have the best mini conchas!! Go extra early or place your order in advance.

I love the carrot cake! It's the right amount of sweet - I know most people love tons of sugar but I don't - this just seems lighter - it's still sweet, but it has a homemade taste to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small place and you may not see it if you're just driving by, but it is worth stopping in and trying and seeing what else they make.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been here a couple of times and the service is good. read more

This bakery got my attention as I walked past and saw things for just 50 cents or $1 on the menu!! I love that! So rare to find a food place where you can buy something for so cheap. I bought a 50 cent cookie for my daughter, and a guava empanada (which the employee said was her favorite) for $2. The empanada really was good! The employee said they also sell coffee etc, but the prices were not posted read more

This bakery/panaderia is amazing and my favorite place for my pan dulce and honestly tortas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The theme is a beautiful homage to Mexican culture and the employees are always kind and hardworking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am so happy this place opened and I will continue to be a patron as long as I can be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is such a variety of pan dulce and the alebrijes in the store create a warm and inviting atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I love this place! read more

First time customer, the empanadas were half empty more dough than filling. The tamales had too much mesa not enough meats inside. Although it was delicious I was not that impressed & kinda disappointed with how much I $$$$ and feel that I didn't really get what I paid off. Stars are based on the other items I bought, but review is based on the two items I listed above! read more

The bread is really good, specially when it's right out of oven. The coffee is delish and the customer service tops it off!

The person who was supposed to make my aunts 60th birthday party cake told us they would'nt be able to make it in time so on Wednesday I called around the area to see if they could have it ready by Saturday. This was the only place that could do it and they did a great job and was a reasonable price for a custom cake in 3 days! I will always come here for cake needs! Thank you Cynthia for the help!! read more
