    Ollitas de crema
    Adelina A.

    My favorite bakery since childhood! Authentic Mexican sweet bread, that is well baked and reminds me of my childhood years everytime I take a bite of it it honestly feels that it has been made with lots of care and love. The People are very welcoming and friendly. This is the only bakery my family has been loyal to ever since I could remember since their bread is unbelievably delicious! My fevorite bread are the ollitas de crema filled with vanilla flavored cream inside. ¡Mi panadería favorita desde pequeña! Auténtico Pan dulce mexicano, que está bien horneado y me recuerda a mis años de infancia cada vez que le doy un mordisco sinceramente siento que ha sido hecho con mucho cariño y amor. La gente es muy acogedora y amigable. Esta es la única panadería a la que mi familia ha sido leal desde que tengo memoria, ¡ya que su pan es increíblemente delicioso! Mi pan favorito son las ollitas de crema.

    mouth watering goodness I'll take 3 boxes por favor

    The aroma of sugar and yeast hits you in the parking lot at this traditional Mexican bakery. That heady smell gives way to an impressive display of colorful Mexican sweet bread -- and other goodies at Chelo's Bakery. It is the absolute best bakery in SoCal. You are greeted with a warm, welcoming smile from Tereasa at the front. Please take my word for it; once you've tried the pan, you will understand what I am talking about. Best pan, hands down! This place is like your Tia made the tamales. Never disappoints and hits the spot. Nothing fancy, just the sweet bread and tamales. Great authentic local Mexican bakery providing amazingly fresh baked goods daily. Get there in the morning; you will thank me later for this suggestion. Chelo's offers fresh Sandwiches, Bread, Desserts, Pastries, Cakes, Tamales, & Coffee, all in an open bakery. They even have everyday household items conveniently in the back.

    **GO-TO FRUIT CAKES IN LITTLE SAIGON**…read more Thank you, Yelp, for leading me here! Keeping this review short since my husband picked up the cake, so I can't speak on the in-person experience. But I can definitely comment on the price and taste. He picked up a 1/4 sheet cake for my mom's birthday for $40, and it was absolutely worth it. The flavors were light and fresh, the texture was amazing, and I loved the layers of cream throughout the cake. Everything tasted balanced and not overly sweet. I'll definitely be ordering again. Love supporting local businesses that consistently deliver quality cakes at reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

    Haiku: Pacific Bakery…read more Order for parties Fluffy and crispy fruit cake Inside a food court. --- Thank goodness for neighbors who share cake! I was introduced to this delightfully beautiful cake from my neighbor and I recently came to order it for my own kid's birthday. It was an absolutely hit with my kid & family members! The small size ($40) can easily feed 8-10 people. It's loaded with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and layered with a thin sponge cake, cream, and puff pastry. I love the crispy, crunchy texture and the not-so-sweet cake and creamy whipped cream. Just note this fruit cake is the most popular cake they make. This is what they're known for. You don't need to order ahead. They seem to always have the sheet fruit cake available. You just come and select your size. Bring this gorgeous cake to your next party!

Santa Ana downtown is all metered street parking so be prepared to pay for parking. The stand is located right in front of the market so it isn't too hard to find. It's in the market so there's open seating and can get quite loud if there's a lot of people. Unfortunately, I was greeted very poorly when I got here. No one was available to help and periodically she would yell over to see if I was ready to order in a very bad tone. When I asked about the cheesecake selection, she said "you have to wait 30 min." I then asked what flavor it is and she said "pandan pineapple" in an annoyed tone. I asked if there were any other flavors and she said "no because I still need to decorate. You should really come later at night." I'm used to bakeries selling out later in the day but I guess it's opposite here. As if it couldn't get worse, I asked her if there are any coffees she recommended, and she said "viet coffee." I then said viet coffee is usually too strong for me and asked if there were any other recommendations and she doubled down and used a horrible tone to say "I already said I recommend the viet coffee." Therefore I opted to just not order coffee at this time. I ended up still ordering 2 cookies: miso toffee which was too firm and the ube coconut which actually was well balanced and had a nice coconut filling. I really hope they improve their customer service.

Their claim to fame, the strawberry croissants, taste as spectacular, light, crispy, airy, and deliciously subtle and fruity as much as the original location. The main problem is they definitely seem to have way less stock on hand, and things can sell out fast. I had to come back another day for my favorite item of theirs, the rusk - extremely light and crunchy bites of buttery sugared mini toast. I buy a bunch of these to take home as souvenirs, as the strawberry croissants obviously need to be eaten ASAP. Their employees were pretty friendly and helpful. I love that they carry bulk platters of their strawberry croissant and have them displayed right as you enter. They also have various other desserts and pastries, even some savory sandwiches and sushi, packaged goods, and coffee. I'm here pretty much just for their strawberry croissants and rusk, though their other items seem nice if you want goods for a convenient picnic.
