This garbage is in the dirty part of pasadena. The tamales taste like crap and the conchas are hidden so u can't see them. Moret of the bread taste as if it's a day old read more

Chapala Bakery 2 - a cake and balloons - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

The sweet Mexican bread is made fresh daily. It's the best I tried so far out here in the Los Angeles area.

During a protest Sept 2016 right across the street they closed in solidarity, and brought over sandwiches, cold drinks, and fresh fruit for us on three different ocassions. This store was a lifeline on that day. If you are in the area, please--stop in to thank them and buy a few products. This store serves as a community hub, and despite being at cost to them, they did what they did out of kindness. Kindness always deserves to be repaid. read more

Best panaderia in Pasadena, my co worker recommended me to try the tamales that they sale here. Best tamales I have ever taste it, especially the once de puerco . Also de conchitas that they sale here are the best. They are 50 cents each. They really have fresh pan dulce . read more

do not buy conchas from here if you don't want to get food poisoning. bread was really greasy, now my whole family has the shits & vomiting after eating bread from here. read more

Their conchas are the bomb, seriously ... They're the best damn conchas I've ever tasted. They make them smaller than your usual concha but it's the perfect size. They are sooooo soft and stay soft for a couple of days. The champurrado is to die for and the tamales are great too. AHUEVO! read more

Today went to buy a rosca . Got home and opened it and it was burnt. Took it back and they said it was normal. They provided a replacement after going back and forth. I am 100 percent sure they wanted to resell it after they touch it and reviewed it. I will not be going back. read more

The menudo runs out, but it is delicious. The tiny conchitas, are full of flavor flavvvv!!!! The tamales are good too. I love this hidden Mexican panaderiah. read more

I was reffered to by my good friend ronaldo to try out this hidden pasadena gem. To my pleasant surprise i was greeted upon entry with the smells of fresh bread and smiles from the staff. I tried the conchas, a slice of cake and one of their tamales and left fully satisfied. But not without grabbing some conchas for the road which at 2 for $1 cant be beat. 5 stars for me. Cant wait to be back. read more

This is the worse bakery ever.. so i stoped by today to get a cake for my moms birthday.

I wouldn't ever recommend this bakery to anyone. Please save your money and just go somewhere else . It sucks that I have to give them a 1 star!! Soooo disappointed!! read more

Chapala Bakery 2 - Not only am I disappointed with this bakery I feel robbed!Worse cake ever!How can you sell this! Happy birthday to my mom right. - Bakeries Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

Their Mexican bread is a amazing I love the conchas. I bought a small tres leches cake recently it was pretty good.

Oh.. my.. GOD! This is the BEST Mexican bakery EVER! Like another reviewer here I have tried many, MANY bakeries. Trust me when I say this one is truly the BEST. I asked a younger guy what was the secret.. why is their bread so much better than all of the other Mexican bakeries I have gone to? He responded that they do not use ready-made ingredients like other bakeries do. They use their OWN recipe that was apparently passed down from his great grandfather. Believe me when I say that once you have tried this bakery you will never go back to any other. Their breads are fresh too. Every time I have come in there they have conchitas (smaller version of a sweet bread with a sugary shell on top). Conchitas are the mini version. It seem that they bake all day long because of all the business they get. The conchitas melt in your mouth and have a crispy but soft texture. Don't even know how to describe it. I have tried their other breads and they are definitely right up there with the best. The parking situation there is pretty bad, but that is not the fault of the bakery. Many times you see people parking in the red right in front or in the red on the side streets. WHY? Because none of us care if we get an outrageously priced parking ticket............ It's THAT good! I have since discovered their tamales just tonight. OMG. SO GOOD. The best tasting tamales I have ever had. The employees are very sweet. The prices are cheap. Guaranteed if you love Mexican bakeries, you will never go elsewhere once you try this one! And yes, after you try it you'll be parking in the red too because it is so worth getting a parking ticket for their delicious bakery and food items. 5 stars all the way! The best bakery EVER! read more

This family owned bakery has the freshest pan dulce. They are always friendly, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. I big treat is buying the bread when it comes right out of the oven, and taking it home to make a hearty torta. read more

The service 3-5* it varies by employee The food 5* The parking 0* Baby friendly 3* The conchitas are the bomb and the yellow muffins are too!!! Also the bolillo is really soft. The prices are kind of high but the bread is yummy and it's always really fresh!! read more

I ordered two dozen tamales pork and chicken. All o can say is they were great and my family enjoyed them for Christmas brunch. I definitely recommend this bakery for their tamales. read more

I love the fresh bread they have. The tamale are so good. This is a family business that loves their customers

I have loved this bakery for years however they lost me as a customer over $6. I bought $6 worth of conchas yesterday morning and they were hard (maybe bread from then day before?) I called and let them know and they lady said to bring them back. I took them back after work and the two ladies that were there were very rude. They kept saying they were not going to refund my money back which I never asked for a refund. Then they said they would only replace $3 worth of bread even after they saw the bread was hard. I told them I didn't care for them money I just wanted my conchas. It's really sad that an established business would run like this. All they had to do was apologize and replace the bread and they would have had a happy customer. read more

I honestly wake up crrrraving tamales Saturday mornings.... with a freshly baked, fluffy mini concha on the side and a hot cup o' joe, *cue mmm'moment of silence* Alright, enough of the breakfast dreamin' Their jalapeños tamales are a must, spicy & cheesy; yum. Grab a champurrado if you happen to be feelin' saucy; you won't complain. read more

Very delicious conchas! Very soft and perfect amount of sweet. Also had the mocah tres leches cake and it was the best tres leches cake ive had so far. And thankfully im a 2 min walk away! read more

They have the worst customer service. I ordered 3 dozens of Conchitas and prepaid ahead of time. When I went to pick them up they were not ready and they did not care if I had my order or not. I will never come here again. I wanted to support the small business but I will go to Baja Ranch from now on. read more

Customer service is terrible I was just there and young girl gave me the wrong bread and when I told her she grabbed the bag & swung it into a cart mad so I told her never mind NO need to get upset & walked out read more

Yummmmmm awesome Mexican bakery, come here for the tamales, although they tend to run out so get em early

Great bread, conchitas are delicious and always fresh. They also have tortas, raspados and many other things. Definitely recommend it!

Best conchas in town! Also the little muffins with cream in them yummmm. The champurado is really tasty as well. Haven't tried their cakes or jellos yet but will try that soon. I would recommend this place if you have a sweet tooth for a concha/ pastry and coffee. You won't regret it. read more

Great sweet bread , for sure out runs every competitor in the long run. My favorite thing there are their conchitas which are always freshly made. read more

Great pan dulce and other great Mexican bread and pastries here!! Felt like i was back home in Mexico with some of my relatives! They have lots of conchas, empanadas, croissants, cakes, muffins, cookies, and fruit style pastries. The lady at the register said on the weekend you can get menudo and tamales too!!! read more

Very friendly staff and their bread was delicious. I was looking for a Mexican bakery in the Pasadena area to order some mini conchas for a tea party. I read the reviews on Yelp and went to this place, and I'm glad I did. When I arrived their conchas were just getting out of the oven, so they were still warm and they're super fluffy and tasty. The only issue is parking, there's not a lot of parking around the area, but their bread is definitely worth it. They also have very reasonable prices. Will definitely be stopping by again. read more

This is honestly the greatest place ever. I love going in early to get the warmest, softest pan dulce EVER.

Place is amazing, conchas still warm at 11am! And the girls that work there are beautiful!

This bakery had delicious pan dulce for a great price! My only regret is that I didn't buy more.

This place has no idea how good their chicken tamales and their bakery items truly are!

The bread is always fresh and is really the best in town. Every time I visit home I make time to come here. The food is also fresh and yummy. People are local and very respectful community members read more

the pricing was amazing at this bakery. the bread was also very good and tasted very fresh. i 10/10 would recommend to friends and family. also a worker by the name Wendy was super helpful during my duration there and i felt very welcomed. i will absolutely come back when i have a craving for some pan from their bakery :) read more

I ordered several dozen tamales for Christmas with my family. I was told by my coworkers to go try them first, so I went and tried them first. They are practicly meatless masa rolls, the cheese and chili was a joke too. Why are people so cheap on the meat. I can buy masa if I just want masa. For $22.00 a dozen, I expect meat inside. I would say there was 1 teaspoon of meat on half the tamale. I found that for $16.00 a dozen, I could get meaty tamales at Los 5 Puntos. I cancelled my order. I will not pay $22.00 a dozen for masa rolls! Hope you guys read this, you were a lot closer to me and more convientent. You lost my buisness for sure. read more

I tried this his is a quaint little bakery today. The locals and regular customers know exactly what they want, loading up their trays with bread, conchas, etc. For a newbie, who doesn't speak any Spanish, I had to find someone who could explain what things are. One of the women there helped explained what I was looking at (Empanadas). They had pineapple and mango for $1.25 each, which I thought was reasonable. They charge a little extra for customers using credit cards, but that was fine with me. read more

BEST PAN DULCE EVER!!!! They are always so sweet and helpful. Even their plain bread is amazing! The pricing is perfect too. This is the only place I ever buy pan dulce read more

Great bread and cake but horrible customer service by a female worker. The first time i went to order a cake the lady was really rude. I figured it might just be a bad day for her... However i have gone back several times and still the same bad attitude. :/ read more

Sorry to bring your hopes down everyone. I also use to think this was a great bakery, in fact i use to be there daily! Unfortunately the unsanitary aspects of this place disgusted me. I with my own eyes came to see roaches crawling here and there. I'm not a picky person but when it comes to my food I'd rather be safe than sorry health wise. I myself have been in the back were all the "magic" happens i can tell you many things that would change everyones mind as far as going there again. For example the dough they use to make our "Delicious Conchita's" it falls on the floor were bakers step, were roaches crawl yet it gets picked up and mixed again as if nothing ever happened. Employees there tend to have an attitude at times. Oh and let me tell you yes the bread does get done there, but the tamales at times are brought from a bakery in Los Angeles and FYI the cakes are definitely not made their nor the "gelatin's". It sad to find out the truth but what can we do. The cakes they have on display and the tamales are not done daily. Hopefully this place can better itself because a customer deserves the best. Its sad to find out so many things after you have fell in love with the place. I will never return there again. read more
