Conchas are perfectly soft when warm, if you're lucky to arrive when they just came out! The young servers do need to improve their customer service. Don't expect any coffee or sit down. It's a grab and go type of establishment.

La Especial Bakery es de esos lugares que se sienten desde que entras. Este pan está delicioso como…read moreno se dan una idea. Súper suavecitos y con un sabor que me recuerda al pan de telera que uno compra en México. Cada mordida sabe a casa y a tradición bien hecha. Siempre que vengo al valle paso por aquí. Vale la pena llegar tempranito porque el pan sale calientito y se acaba rápido. Eso ya dice todo. La familia que atiende es muy linda y se nota que le ponen corazón a su negocio y a la comunidad. Es una panadería que realmente es parte del alma del barrio. Me encanta llegar y comprar pan para llevar. Las conchas son lo mejor sin duda. Pero mi consejo es probar poquito de todo. Las empanadas están bien ricas y las galletitas también. Todo tiene ese sabor auténtico que no se imita. Este lugar sabe a puro México. Es tradición es cariño y es comunidad en cada bolsa de pan. Si pasan por el valle no se lo pierdan.

When you enter the bakery, it is very roomy with some seating and calming atmosphere. They have…read moreseveral counters with different kinds of pastries including a cupcake for dogs. Before ordering, we bought sample cupcakes. We ordered a heart shaped, double layered chocolate cake with buttercream icing and sprayed on gold color. It was a beautiful cake. The gentleman stayed it would be white buttercream icing with the gold sprayed on top of it. We picked the cake up, it was ready on the counter, and they offered to carry the cake to the car. When we cut into the cake, the frosting was golden and the sprayed gold tasted weird. We just scraped off the gold thin layer and were able to enjoy the moist cake with buttercream icing. The price was very reasonable! We will definitely buy another cake from here.

Empanadas stuffed with cream cheese and pineapple! That's all I have to say! So even though the…read morelocation isn't in the middle of McAllen, it gets pretty full especially when there's a cold front lol Compared to other bakeries, I noticed the bread lasts longer which means even after you buy it, the bread remains soft after a couple of days. This is a mom and pops bakery so don't expect to see something luxurious. Conchas are 3 for $.99 and empanadas are 5 for $1 which is pretty beso despite that the bread is really good. You can also find Mexican sodas in a bottle, milk, cheese, and barbacoa.

Nuez de Azahar is a very nice, clean, and beautiful decorated bakery. The selection seemed…read morelimited, but judging from the sight of the goodies I saw on display and the baklava I ordered (and enjoyed immensely), what they offer they do right. They have baked goods, cheesecakes, cookies, coffees, and more. The coffee smelled really good, and the sweets offered here are miles above the coffee shop competition a few doors down (with a mermaid on the logo) that gets everything frozen (at Nuez de Azahar it's all freshly baked!)... I don't know why anyone would even bother going to the other one. Order and pay, then pick up your order at the pick-up window inside. The service was friendly and the price of my baklava was competitive ($3 for one piece). Right next to the UPS Store on Trenton and 10th. Parking can be tricky during peak hours, but there is more parking behind the building.
