    Bolillo and sweet bread in the same PLASTIC bag

    I'm a bread and coffee person. Always looking for my favorite panadería in town and since u just moved out here im in search of it. I like the fact that I was greeted with a buenos días. The bread looked fresh and picked up 3 pieces plus a bolillo. They were all good. The reason for my raising was because it was $1 fee for using a cc a little too high for only spending $4. I understand that they are paying a fee themselves but $1 seems a lil excessive. The reason i wouldn't be back is because they placed all my bread in a plastic bag. Never have I had that experience. Always in paper bags or boxes. Paper bags are not expensive try investing in those. Also placed my bolillo in that same bag. We all know you are supposed to separate sweet from the bolillo. At least I thought we all knew this.

    Believe it or not, this was my first time going to a Mexican bakery. I have tried a variety of pan dulce (sweet bread) and conchas - usually from coworkers who would bring in goodies. Walking inside Chelas Bakery #2 - oh my gosh, it smelled so good! The aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries immediately tantalized my tastebuds! Surprisingly, the setup is similar to a typical Asian bakery where you would get a tray and tongs and help yourself with the selection of baked goods. It can get pretty tight in here since it is a very small shop. You'd have to be okay with being close-in-proximity to other people (or just wear a mask). One of the customers inside the shop told me to try the Arroz con Leche bread, so I helped myself to one to try as well as their Piña bread. I picked out a few more pastries and paid about $7 for everything. Not bad! Unlike the pan dulce I've tried from my coworkers, the bread from Chelas is not dry. It's actually got quite a chew to it. It even stayed chewy after a couple days - still not dry. Score! The only downside are the super crumby cookies on top - just my own personal dislike (I don't like all the crumbs on my shirt). And the other downside: not enough days to try all the yummy treats LOL. That just means I'll have to pay another visit to Chelas! Would I recommend Chelas #2? Absolutely! Apparently they have 2 other locations (Chelas original and Chelas #2) in Riverside. Prices are fair, the conchas were delicious, and the lady who helped me provided me with good service!

    They have delicious pan dulce/breads. I love the old wooden hutches/display cases. They catered an even of 300+ conchas for the holidays in short notice and they were great, even with vegan options.

    Great quality Mexican bread. Never have I been disappointed. Great bread from flavor to texture and they also have whole wheat options.

The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the pesto sauce was rich, cheesy, and full of flavor. We also tried the cupcakes, which were incredibly tasty. They have a great selection of baked goods, including a variety of cupcakes and danishes, making it hard to choose just one. The service was excellent, even during a busy morning rush. The staff was friendly, efficient, and kept everything running smoothly. Although the café is on the smaller side, it's thoughtfully laid out with plenty of seating to relax and enjoy your coffee and food. Overall, it was a wonderful first experience, and we'll definitely be back!

I've continued to come and use their tables when I'm drinking my coffee & I've literally had to clean the tables myself on multiple occasions and so has my friend because they are not being cleaned. I see quite a few of the staff just hanging around and they see us cleaning our table and no one offers to clean or take it upon themselves to clean the other tables around us. If the cleanliness in the lobby were to improve that would be wonderful and my rating would improve as well.

There were a few people waiting for drinks, one guy sipping coffee and working, and another couple having desserts chatting at a table. The noiselevel was low, and the music was good.

This is a small bakery that opens early, and was busy with a steady stream of customers, which I took as a sign that this place was good. Most were getting pastries and bread (which you help yourself to and place on a tray & pay at register), but some were also ordering tamales. They also serve smoothies! Ordered two and a half dozen tamales (18 cheese and a dozen pork) but when we got home realized that all the tamales looked alike; as none were marked or separated; and we were given chicken instead of pork. Once reheated, the tamales tasted amazing. We also got a dozen mini conchas at 70c each. Pretty affordable and tasty. The tamales were $35/dozen. Will be back again!
