I ordered a little bit of everything - chocolate, vanilla, blue corn, churro, and strawberry hibiscus. It was a bit of a bummer that my strawberry conchas didn't make it into the box. Not sure what happened - I was chatting with the cashier/concha server so maybe they were distracted. I also should have checked my order. The conchas were SOOOOO good. Very soft and fresh - not too sweet. The chocolate-y flavor wasn't really coming through to me. And the vanilla and churro flavors were very similar. The most prominent was the blue corn - and I think this was my fave. Comparatively speaking to other conchas at a panderia, $5 a concha is a bit steep. They are really tasty tho and definitely worth it. Think of it as a top shelf concha. Oh and the good news is, they're vegetarian friendly - they only use butter. I'll be back next time I'm in the San Fran area.

Great conchas from a very quaint store. No seating, just an order/takeout counter. The flavors that…read moreare always on the menu are: guava, vanilla, blue corn, chocolate, and churro. I think there was one seasonal flavor. We got the guava concha, which was delicious. Very fluffy and soft bun that wasn't dry at all. Strong guava flavor in the sugar crust and it wasn't too sweet. Overall, really solid bun but I did feel like *something* was missing. A slightly thicker sugar crust would've made it feel less one note. Definitely would come back to try the other flavors still!

Instead of getting 2 dozen ube cupcakes, we received 4 dozen ube cookies that were flavorless and dry. Would not recommend for catering.

The kare almond fudge has toffee or something coffee-flavored in it, I'm not a fan of coffee usually but I thought it was still yummy overall. I really liked the ube, that flavor came through really strongly. The main downside was that the bottom of the cone probably wasn't sealed properly, and since it was hot outside, the cone quickly started dripping ice cream out of the bottom, so it ended up being messier to eat.

The cookies were super big and dense, which made us super excited to try them out. We tried: - The Calamansi Crinkle cookie: our favorite one! As someone who does not usually gravitate towards citrus flavors in dessert, I was blown away by this cookie. It had the most delicious calamansi flavor, and was baked so well. - The Ube cookie: so rich, fudge-y, and moist! I love ube everything, so I was not surprised that I loved this. It could have had a bit stronger of a flavor, but I would get it again regardless. - The Coconut-Pandan Crinkle cookie: this was unfortunately not our favorite, and was ultimately not for us. In my opinion, it lacked a more robust coconut flavor, and had a very earthy taste. If you want a less-sweet cookie, this one would be for you! Overall, I'm super glad that I stopped by this stand at the market. The person working the booth was super kind, and I loved their booth setup. Next time, I want to try the Chai Snickerdoodle! :)

I was terrified the entire time I lived nearby that this place would close, but it outlasted me in the neighborhood, and I stopped by recently, and it is still going strong. The gelato is good, but I always came here for the smoothies, which are excellent. It's in an out-of-the-way spot and across the street from a rowdy bar full of lecherous men, so keep your daughters close, and your pepper spray closer. I'm kidding! (Sort of.) It is adorable how many families bring their kids here. During the day, they put a couple of tables out on the Capp Street sidewalk, and since this is the end of Capp that is barricaded, cars won't be rushing by. The ultimate get is to come when the taco truck is parked at the barricade. When that happens, you can enjoy some fine Mexican food-truck food and wash it down with some heavenly gelato. My only criticism: They need to fix the case! It has been cracked since 2023, if not before then.

La Victoria holds a corner shop (decorated with cultural symbols and colors) featuring shelves and display cases of cakes, breads and other snacks ready to be consumed or taken home for a supplement to a meal as well as served for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. Like many Mexican bakeries, you'll find the signature concha, a yeast raised bun encased with a buttery crust often colored to give them a bit of flare. At La Victoria, you'll find a variety of these buns alongside other goodies certainly to have you salivating! Reasonably priced, it's no surprise that you'll end up filling a bag or two with a little bit of everything to give them all a taste. You won't really go wrong with any of them unless you're not a fan of sweets. Although not overly stuffed with sugar, you will find that almost everything has a bit of sugar in it which will activate your tastebuds but possibly impact your waistline and blood sugar. Eat responsibly or be sure to have a party to share with! Situated in the bustling neighborhood, you'll find some street parking here and there but you may need to walk a block or two. Pick up with their friendly staff is fortunately very easy and quick so hopefully it can be a stop that can be included in your errand schedule. For those coming out of town, consider getting dropped off while your driver makes a round. When we arrived, there were a few families making selections of bread from the display cases but aside from them, there weren't too many patrons inside. They don't have much seating and most customers seem to come and go, bag of goodies in hand as they left. We ended up getting an assortment and before pictures were taken, some were consumed in the car ride home. One distinct one we got was in the shape and color of a pumpkin. Cute and creative! The crunchy crust had a good texture upon biting in and the bread was pretty good. It was a bit dryer than I'd liked but paired well with coffee or milk. Overall, La Victoria seems like a great place to stock up on breakfast buns or desserts for the week as busy professionals may not have the time or energy to prepare a more elaborate meal in the mornings. It's great for bulk purchases for office meetings, potlucks and parties. The prices are reasonable and its mom and pop feel makes it a great representation of the working families and community members living in this area - definitely a place to continue supporting!

They make both traditional HK and Mexican pastries, which is pretty cool. You can find coconut buns, pineapple buns, french bread rolls, Mexican conchas, and a ton more, as well as a variety of cakes in the fridge section. It's self-serve, so you grab a tray, pick what you want, and check out when you're done. There's a couple small tables on the side of the bakery for you to sit and eat at. We tried the pineapple bun and a chocolate concha. I think the bolo topping could've been a little thicker and baked a little longer, but that's personal preference. Bun was a tad dry. Concha was similar -- dry bun and the topping was kind of powdery, so the mouthfeel was kind of unpleasant. Regardless, happy to support this little gem of a place that's been part of the community for generations. Seems like coconut buns are the thing to get, so I'll try that next time.

One of my favorite things is that they open at 5am, which is perfect if you're an early bird and want fresh bread and coffee before work. Such a neighborhood gem. Only downside is parking is bad if you want to drive there.

We asked the sweet woman at the register what she recommended, and bought what she picked out. For $3 it was a decent sized pastry. We took the pastry to a nearby park to eat, and discovered that she had thrown in some extra sugar cookies, which was so kind of her. The pastry had a hard shell which encased what was probably condensed milk. Honestly the combination was a bit odd and the shell was less buttery and rich than I wanted. The cookies were cute and not too sweet, but also not the most flavorful. I think I might have ordered the wrong thing, and there were a wide selection of other tasty-looking pastries in the display case. If I come back to this bakery, I might try the concha or the roll cakes!
