A tried and true bakery that is perfect for all of your baked good needs, as well as, the chance to order their burritos or menudo (on select days). Bowie Bakery accepts cards and cash which makes it nice and they have a full assortment to enjoy. From oreo and vanilla conchas, to apple fritters and sugar crystal pastries with fruit filling, you just can't go wrong here. I was pleasantly reminded how on Wednesdays they feature .89 cent donuts! Now that is a steal of a price worth waking up for. My dad is a major fan of their apple fritters and I am too. Around the holiday season make sure to get there early as everything sells out quickly. read more

Bowie Bakery - the front of the building - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

See all

I see a-lot of people complaining about being "rushed" or the staff's "personality". They are overtly sensitive. This place is great. The pastries are great. The people are great. If you feel rushed, stand in the back and look at what they have. These are probably the same people that hold up a drive thru line. When I went, I order some donuts and pan dulce, excellent. I wasn't too impressed by the burritos, but that has been my experience all over El Paso. They were good though. I am not accustomed to this type of preparation. Overall, it was an excellent place to buy breakfast from. I will be going back. read more

Take pride and what you serve this is disgusting. It tasted horrible. It looks horrible. How do they serve something like this? I will never eat at this place again. I've had nothing but horrible reviews for this place every time I've gone customer service to the food now. read more

I order 2 dozen donuts, glazed and chocolate. The donuts are so soft and fluffy. It's worth the calories. They also have burritos for $3.25 and for $1 more you can add potatoes. They also give you the salsa for free, red and green sauce . This place is busy but worth it read more

Bowie Bakery - a box of glazed donuts - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

After trying the Bowie Bakery location near downtown, we were super excited to try this one on the West Side. The pastries are delicious and very well-priced, just like they are at the downtown location! For checking in here on Yelp for the first time, I received a coupon for 50 cent donuts on Wednesdays. Our favorites are the glazed & chocolate iced. I also really like their large cookie topped with coconut flakes and fruit-filled pastry. We will definitely be back soon for more 50 cent donuts and to try more pastries! read more

Bowie Bakery is the best in El Paso! Though I don't live there anymore, I always make time to visit when I'm in town. Their fresh pastries and bolillos bring back memories of growing up. So happy it's still a great spot! read more

11/22/2023, went in to Bowie Bakery, I asked for 2 Lg. Menudo one with more meat than the other. Both were the same more pozole than menudo. I also ordered the tamales and had to wait a few minutes for them. The service was great no doubt, but my rating is also because of the tamales. The tamales were 90% masa, 10% meat, the tamales were probably 1/2 lb. each. I have always love there tamales but if they continue this way, they are gonna lose customers. read more

Decent burritos but definitely not the best in town. Counter person seemed lost in a daze and I had to repeat my machaca burrito order three times before he comprehended it. Then he had to come back to me to make sure he heard me right. I didn't try any of the baked goods although they were mouth watering to look at. The variety of goods was broad. I vow to come back just to sample one of everything. The shop was exceptionally clean. The burrito prices were comparable to most other places but I have seen smaller shops with a greater selection. i will return for baked goods and perhaps tamales . But I'll get my burritos at Burro Time. Menudo on weekends. read more

Wow- we all are familiar with the expression "like a kid in a candy store"...well take an adult with a super sweet tooth and put them in this place! I have never seen danish or cinnamon rolls this big in my entire life! I went in around 10am thinking it would not be busy, but it is coffee break time and there was a steady stream of customers coming in the door. I did settle on a "pig cookie" those little brown pigs- mine was pretty big, but tasted just as it should. It was soft like cake but also like a cookie with that rich molasses taste- so delicious! The service was friendly and prompt. read more

Its incredibly ironic that here the bread it's completely different from the segundo barrio bakery, doesn't taste the same, I prefer to go all the way ro that central one Why ? read more

1st time, I bought a tres leches takes on Monday January 4th. I was looking forward to tasting this delicious looking cake. Unfortunately the Top of the cake was dry dry horrible dry the bottom half was a delicious tres leches melts in your mouth piece of heaven type cake. I also took home a dozen of red tamales the worse tamales I have ever tasted!! Save yourself read more

I would have bought my family dinner but when I went to enter they had already closed despite posted closing of 7 PM. They closed at least 20 minutes early. Employees concerned about getting out early versus serving the community. They even looked at me and ignored me when I tried the door. read more

Visited this place on a Sunday and the staff was very attentive. The selection is always top notch and the taste is even better. Not the same as going to the original bakery but it sure keeps the nostalgia within me. read more

Bowie Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I live in Ruidoso half the year and have to drive in to El Paso to pick up my mail every couple of weeks. Although my El Paso home is 8 miles away, I always stock up on Maranitos and fritters to take back to the mountains. I drive five hours to get baked goods here and find it the best use of my time all week. read more

I have always loved their food but this is the last time. The employees are rude, refused to check on my burrito order after an hour, and it turns out my order was never put in. I wish this were the only time it's happened. I can't come here anymore. read more

Seeing them touch everything with their bare hands was gross. Why aren't they wearing gloves?

Well then... Today was a rollercoaster of emotions. I walked into this bakery feeling very hopeful on trying their tamales and all sorts of goodies. Their arrangement of pastries was very extensive and looked very enticing. I made a point to stop here to grab something delicious for breakfast before we start our fishing trip for the day. So i was ready! Alas, my excitement was short lived upon realizing the only tamales they had were cold ones leftover from yesterday and it was only a jalapeño cheese one. Had my heart set on a meat filled warm one. At least she was honest about it and said they were from yesterday's batch. As for their sweets, i would say their donuts were the better ones in the bundle i got. They only had chocolate glazed, regular glazed, and sugar yeast donuts. All tasted really good but wish there was more like maple glazed. I also tried their strawberry cream cheese danish which really didnt taste good at all. The filling had a very off taste to it, almost sour. I also tried their fruit tart. Blehhh. It was as if they just bought the pastry shells, filled it with store bought whipped cream and a topped it with a few pieces of fruit and glaze. I was looking forward to trying the custard in fruit tarts. Not this time tho. The tart overall wasnt good neither. It just had that day old taste to it from sittinf in the cooler too long. Perhaps next time, i can be more satisfied if i got to try some of their fresh tamales with pork like i had hoped. read more

I ordered a tres leches cake for a friend's birthday. It was by far the best tres leches I ever had. Service was excellent and the cake was ready as requested! read more

I went in looking for a birthday cake/cupcake and the female baker rudely and arrogantly told me they DONT do anything custom and then stated out of no where and I will not recommend any other bakers. She was very arrogant and rude. read more

Fabulous TresLeches cake. Although I asked for strawberries on top when I ordered it. When I picked it up neither of the people working there could put strawberries on it for me. read more

I absolutely love this place. My in laws are regulars and they take us here every time we visit them in El Paso. I love their breakfast burritos and I always get the green chile burrito. Spicy and absolutely delicious. Their tamales are really tasty too and their bread's just to die for! My in laws always bring bread and burritos with them when they come to visit us in Phoenix. They have tons of pastries (huge ones, by the way), cookies and cakes and cupcakes. It's a small place but they have some tables inside and outside of the bakery so you can sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and a good Mexican pastry. The place itself is clean and very well organized. They also offer free wifi! And the ladies working behind the counters are very nice indeed. read more

This has to be the best mexican bakery in El Paso, I love all their pastries! They're delicious and spongy! Great service all the time! The bolillo is delicious and soft! Highly recommend! read more

What am I missing? Maybe they had less variety because I went on a Sunday, but the choices were minimal and the bread / sweets were unremarkable. I may check out the original location at some point to see how it compares. read more

very clean and great customer service! I found myself salivating over the Choco-flan and so I bought a slice ! It was Delish! they serve coffee and they offer Mexican pastries. older woman and men wondered the small store .. This tells me it was good! Lol Mexican woman and men know their Mexican breads. I sat outside the store on their iron chairs and placed my bag of goodies on the iron table. I'm def coming back. read more

excellent choices, service and, of course, it's bread. plus, the bakery smells heavenly. they offer places to sit and have coffee and a nosh. it's located at the crossroads behind walgreens and the JITB. read more

Bowie Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Went on a Saturday to try the tamales that everyone is talking about just to be informed that the were out. They put your pastries in a food tray that looks like is barely washed. I watched the attendant put the tray back in the pile after serving our food. Not to sanitary. Selection is okay. read more

Bowie bakery has some of the finest pastries in El Paso. Their tres leches cake is my favorite and their cream cheese pastries are always sweet and fluffy. They have really good tamales but are extremely spicy. The wait is not very long and the staff is usually very friendly. read more

Only 1 person working during busiest time in the morning. Long wait does not make customers happy before going to work.

The quality of the bread has decreased. Today we purchased the Rosca de Reyes at the Doniphan location, which we buy from them every year, it was awful. The bread was stale and did not have good flavor. Very disappointed. read more

Still the best Mexican sweet bread in El Paso. Don't miss empanadas de piña or the cherry filled elotes. Everything is amazing and it is obvious why this place is world famous as a destination for travelers to the area. read more

Love this place. I went 2 days ago with a friend and bought some pastries and a yogurt. It was my first time and I will be back for sure! Thanks. read more

great place great food but need to have friendly associates Sunday January 20,2013

I have been getting some hard bread on the Westside location. It seems that they are not doing good rotation on the sweet bread. I already spoke to Juan the manager in downtown because there was no manager on the West side bakery. He said will inform the manager Mario in that location. read more

I find it simply amazing all the people who think Bowie Bakery makes good bread?... they USE TO make good bread a few years back but their standards are way too low now.... for instance, today I bought francesitos, tamales and doughnuts... the francesitos (boilos, pan frances or pan blanco- whatever you want to cal it) were horrible, mushy and not crispy like Valentines or Food City... the tamales lack a lot of salt and were all masa and no meat!... the doughnuts are not light but feel like your are eating two donughts at once unlike Duncan Dounuts... I saw their esponjas or pan de huevo and they look like they only had a couple of pieces of sugar on top? unlike the esponjas of Vista Market... as you can see I am not a competitor or even mentioning my families (brothers) bakery but- I hope that people vote with their money and start supporting or buying other bakeries bread to help Bowie awaken and up their quality and standards... read more
