    Hair on the cake

    Me & my family have been ordering from here for years & have never had a problem. Picked up a cake yesterday & went to cut it today just to find a hair on the cake. I called the bakery & the guy over the phone refused to take accountability for it & said he could not imagine how this could happen. He said he couldn't do anything because they have a "24 hr policy". We picked up the cake 1/18/26 @4pm & went to cut it 1/19 7pm. The guy over the phone only offered to give us back $10 when we payed $50 for the cake. I informed him I would be bringing the cake back & when I asked for his name he refused to give his name. Very poor customer service. I will never be coming back to this place.

    The place is incredibly clean, which is always a plus! The variety isn't as extensive as the panaderia I typically go to, but they still offer the essentials like conchas, muffins, cookies and empanadas... there's also a coffee bar which pairs perfectly with one of the baked goodies.

    Just a snack!

    Busy as usual great choice of pan Dulce and drinks enough parking space and delicious tres leches

    8in tres leches cake with coffee filling

    I ordered this cake over the phone for a birthday. It was a bit difficult since I don't speak Spanish, but they were patient and accommodating and we were able to get the order in and ready for that same day. I'm knocking a star off because the call dropped 4-5 times and every time I called back we would get confused on what I was wanting and then they'd put me on hold for a long time. But!! My order was ready after less than 2 hours of placing it. I had to make a deposit of $10 over the phone and then paid $22 when I picked it up. $32 for this beautiful 8in cake is an amazing price!! Also the cake tasted DELICIOUS and everyone who tried it agreed. When I picked it up, I found the bakery to be very open and inviting. They had pastries all around the walls. I'll be coming back to try something new!

    The Troggs and later Wet Wet Wet said that Love Is All Arandas, and when you try some of the items from this bakery, you'll agree. This is a chain bakery, from the same folks that bring you Taqueria Arandas (one of the best late night options in Houston, many locations). And so far, every location I've visited makes really good top-notch Mexican pastries and all kinds of goodies. We like it a lot and we've been to many of them, and this one is pretty close to Chinatown and not too far from where we live, so we come here on a fairly regular basis. I think they make everything very well. It's not in the best area in terms of crime and crazy driving, but neither was your mother last night. Now apparently this review was illegal, and now we're surrounded. There are cops all Arandas. Let's eat.

    Bolillos are 60cents each and pastries i got in pic were $1.25 each. The pastry with almonds was surprisingly filled with cream cheese and a grape- tasting filling and was delicious just like the bolillo. The humidity did not affect the bolillos as they were hard on outside and soft and squishy inside. The line was long at first and then another checker opened up. Place is well lit and big, with pastries in cases. Grab a tray and tongs on way in. The names of the pastries was pretty much unreadable, but i am sure everything is tasty.

    Chicken empanadas

    I swear I had an review at Arandas Bakery from years ago. Anyways... It's a major improvement since last time I was here. Everything is still wide open, even before Covid-19 pandemic. Yelp prompted me to ask is it "open for dine in". I guess they saw Maria S wrote. With so many people crowding the store during the holidays, there was no place to walk in the store. So the answer is no. The improvement was the staff became more attentive and friendlier toward me, a non-Latino person (they don't know I'm a Hispanic). The products were fresher than I originally wrote. It is like I found a new breakfast spot that opens all day. Tamales are tasty. They came in a pack of 3. I can mix half chicken and half pork. Chicken is supposed to be spicier. They both use red sauce, pork tamales got darker center. Otherwise, I couldn't tell them from the husks. Empanadas were so soft, I think it was supposed to be crunchy but that was last batch of the day. Because she said only chicken left. It's baked. And, I need a plate and fork to indulge. I just wish they label each bread with name, price and allergens ingredients. I really want to try those new breads in the display cases. With self serve coffee and chocolate machines, I would need to find a park nearby to enjoy.

    Amazing.. my favorite were the chocolate dipped macaroons

    I have to say that I have no idea why there were so many people that rated Arandas Bakery so low. This place has just about everything that somebody craving pan dulce would need! They have cute little emoji cookies and all sorts of cool conchas! Even unicorn conchas! I didn't see one thing that this place lacked.. They were very covid safe and had somebody with a mask and gloves pick the pastries for you so there wasn't many people going near the open items. Would definitely return! Ignore these other ratings! Lol

    I never met an Arandas bakery I didn't like and this establishment is no different! Do not come hungry or you will leave with a whole entire bakery, lol. The best thing, for me, about this bakery is that it is immaculately clean and shining! They make sure it is spotless! Now, this is a bakery that specializes in delicious pan dulce but they also have cookies, cakes, doughnuts and delicious bolillos baked fresh multiple times throughout the day . You can purchase flan, chocoflan, tres leche, fruit tarts or strawberry tarts. They also have birthday cakes. I love the fresh and hot bolillos. I eat them plain or toasted with strawberry jelly. So good! My absolute favorite item is their vanilla conchas. Slightly sweet and topped with lightly crunchy fine sugar. They are perfect to eat with coffee, milk, or a hot chocolate! Speaking of hot chocolate and coffee, they serve thst fresh too. As well as tamales, water, milk, juice and sodas. I shall return!

    The staff is very friendly and helpful. A very nice lady named Lucy didn't hesitate to help my husband and I. She looked up our cake order and quickly brought us the cake. Lucy was very attentive and so nice. She showed us the cake to ensure we were happy with it before checking out. Which by the way their cakes are beautifully made, and are so delicious! I was impressed by their customer service. My family and I highly recommend this place!

    Aranda's bakery makes me like sweets! Imagine waking up on Sunday morning, starting your fresh coffee, drive down the street and enter a bakery wonderland filled with all kinds of sweets for ANY person including people who don't like sweets that much. As you enter to your right you will find a big sheet pan with tongs. Make your way down the many displays of sweets and some savory items such as fresh kolaches and bread. All items don't exceed $1.50 It's like a dollar store for goodies! You go for one treat and you end up buying 25 treats with a bill of less than 15$. Everyone is nice and friendly, cards accepted. Don't feel intimidated, just go. Again soooo many treats! From cookies to churros dipped in Nutella from conchas to blueberry danishes. Omg.

    Insanely huge variety, just the right amount of sweet. I am in love and in awe of their dry buns and pasteurisé. My favorite is cheese filled variety. The proportion of butter, cheese and sugar is heavenly. Staff is super sweet to even non Spanish speaking first timers like myself.

    Officially obsessed with this place! I don't know whatbthe breads are called but I just grab whatever looks good and it always turn out to be good! I got addicted to a brown muffin looking corn bread and that pastry bread above it with the cream filling in the middle. Ughhh bro. MY QAURANTINE WEIGHT IS LITERALLY FROM THIS. It's really good

French style baguettes are perfect. The only problem is the pastries suffer from humidity of Houston and if not eaten fresh they can get soggy and lose their texture. I am referring to the mille fuille. The chocolate cake was really good and held up for a few days. I bought 4 baguettes, 4 mille fuille, 4 chocolate cakes and 2 boxes of mixed macaroons for $100. So not cheap but the flavor and presentation was nice. It's a must try in Houston. They do not suffer from a lack of business. So lines can be long. They are efficient however!! Bon appetit

I will definitely be back specifically to get some more of those. My chai latte was very good as well. Service was friendly, attentive, and overall welcoming. You can also see into the kitchen through a large window, so we saw Chef Otto working his magic!

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

The $8 price point is a little hard to swallow, but worth trying at least once! Milk bread is soft and the brisket goes really great with sriracha. The hoisin was a tad too salty for me; I think it would work best if it had, in theme, the aromatics from actual pho, otherwise it's too heavy. The yuzu lemonade was citrusy and refreshing, definitely hits the spot during the summer.

Now we actually go there about once every two weeks because we love it that much and I look forward to opening the front doors and smelling the sweet smell of baked goods Recently we also found out that they have cheese & sausage kolaches, and oh my gosh, they are delicious. They are really, really good and were such a nice surprise when we tried them. The location closest to us is the one on Airline Drive, and we usually go in the afternoon so we can avoid the after-work crowd. That time of day works really well for us because there aren't too many people, which makes it easier to grab bread and look around without feeling rushed. The ordering process is pretty quick and simple. You grab your metal tray and tongs, open each little door, pick what you want, and put it on the tray. When you're ready, you go to the register where the ladies count the breads, ring everything up, and bag it nicely for you. We're usually in and out pretty fast, which we really like.
