    Lots of Mexican style pastries
    Brenda I.

    Found this place by a referral from a nearby bakery I visited today. I asked where I could find tamales? I remembered that Xmas season is high time for tamales and I was hoping to score some today. It's one of my husbands favorite food. There is very limited parking spots at the storefront which is located at a busy corner intersection. I decided I should try to park along the street and walk to the shop. Inside the shop, I was greeted nicely . There are some tables for dining in. Nothing fancy, but you can choose to eat here if you want to. There are many things to order besides tamales! They have burritos, tortas, combo plates, soups, tacos, tamales, drinks , pastries, cookies and specials of the day. The young lady at the counter was pleasant and waited patiently while I asked her a couple questions and then took my order. I got 1/2 dozen chicken(pollo) with green sauce ( verde). My order was ready in no time, about 5 minutes. My tamales were fresh and hot! I didn't really expect it to be. My husband got a nice treat when I got home. He eats it plain. Btw, the menu is in Spanish. My high school Spanish came in handy. Although the young miss who helped me spoke English. * FYI, I noticed after I paid that there are different prices for the items. It depends whether you pay cash or by credit card. It's about $ 0.32 less if you pay cash! I'll be stopping by here again, now that I know there's HOT tamales served here .

    Canela's Bakery is an awesome bakery! The staff are also always so sweet and kind. I've been here and few times before and their food never disappoints! Their pupusas are mouth watering, and so are their burritos. I brought my mom today to try their food after doing a self-care day. The bakery was nice and clean. We came for lunch and ordered the chilaquiles and they were BOMB! We ordered a tamale each as well, a coffee and Agua Fresca Jamaica. I love that Jamaica wasn't too sweet and freshly made. The food was so delicious, my mom loved it! She loves seeing the display case of all the fun themed Pan Dulce options. We bought a few Pan Dulce to take home and share. They have a such a variety! If you haven't tried this spot, it's a must! They have a great variety of home cooked food on their menu. Everything for soups, tortas, pupusas, chilaquiles, burritos and more! If you're ever in the area or want to take a drive to montebello this is a must!

    Not just a Mexican Bakery. It's also a cafe/restaurant. They have a great variety of Mexican food dishes ranging from Soups, tortas, burritos and plates. This is not your fine dining (if thats what you are into, sorry ...this isn't for you). This is just great food you grew up with (in a Mexican house hold) at a reasonable price. With eating out now being so expensive, this place offers a great Mexican food at a great value. The crew is very courteous and attentive and very nice. Ok seating with an open space inside. Oh, and they have weekly specials (see pic)

    Pork tamal but more like just mass

    Picked up some tamales and all I ate was masa! What happened? Do better! Review is purely on the tamal

    This is a cute Mexican bakery that I had been to before. We were passing by and decided to try a tamale. I got the red pork and JJ got the green Chile and cheese (Rajas) ($2.50 each). I also love pan dulce, and got a concha, and JJ got a peanut butter cookie. Sadly, the pork tamale was extremely dry (the meat). The masa was good however, and flavorful. I did eat the whole thing though, but would definitely not recommend this and would never get it again. The pan dulce- concha was also very disappointing. It was a bit stale, and I wouldn't recommend this either. JJ however, enjoyed his green Chile and cheese tamale. He said it was good, but I didn't taste it. He also said the peanut butter cookie was good. I did taste this, and it was good. Very soft and crumbly..tasty overall. The interior has a few small tables where you can sit down and eat. Nice ambience. They also have their own parking lot. I wouldn't completely rule out Canela's Bakery, as there are some items that are good. You'd have to try it out for yourself if you happen to be in the area.

    Their tamales are the best taste that compares to my mom's but only needs to be spicy.

I wished we had arrived earlier to be able to enjoy more of the sold out offerings, but next time we'll arrive right when they open. We ordered a dozen crinkle cookies for a Mother's Day lunch - enjoying the sweet ube and the spiced thai tea versions. Both were great compliments to each other - more perfectly sweet and the other a bit more herbal. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - nice crunchy edges and slightly gooey soft inside. The ube tres leches was a little disappointing as there wasn't any tres leches cake at the bottom, just crumbly graham crackers resting below exquisite ube mousse. It could have been mislabeled, but it was essentially just ube mousse with crumbly graham crackers for texture. The staff were friendly and the store is so fun!

He was very helpful and nice. I love the quaint ambiance it made me feel welcomed.

When I called to place the order, I was directed to submit it online. I completed the online order and received a text confirmation stating that I would receive a response within two days. After two days passed with no response, I called to follow up and was told that someone would be contacting me regarding my order. Another two days passed without any communication, so I called again to check on the status. At that point, I was informed that my order had never actually been placed because a deposit was required. However, I was never informed of any deposit requirement during the ordering process or in any of the communications I received. I was then told that, unfortunately, the bakery would not be able to make the custom cake. I explained the entire situation and shared how much this cake meant to my father-in-law, as this bakery has been a special place for him over the years. Despite explaining the circumstances, no effort was made to find a solution. As a business owner myself, I understand that mistakes can happen. However, I also believe in doing everything possible to make things right for customers when issues arise. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Due to the lack of communication, misinformation, and poor customer service, I will not be ordering from this bakery again and cannot recommend it to others.
