    Saw this on tik tok and decided to drive in. The pastries were all really great and we were able to take some to my husbands employees with nothing but great feedback. We were also able to try a few of their dishes and thought they were just ok. Probably would not return for the food but pastries were a 10/10. The dulce de leche latte was also a 10/10 and def would recommend

    I ordered a custom cake (Frida Kahlo themed) from Don Polvoron for my birthday. The cake was a huge success. It was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully decorated!!! the flavor was tres leches, and the feeling was cream with fresh mango. Ordering the cake was very easy. I placed the order in person four days in advance. I prepared it with my credit card and I told him the time when I would pick it up. They also make large wedding cakes or cakes for any occasion. I also bought a few pastries. A traditional concha and a Pinguinos chocolate muffin. they had many different pastries as well, although I did not try them. The pastries were a solid choice and freshly baked. I noticed that many people were also eating Mexican food that they also cook at their restaurant. Parking was easy and free. They also have accessible parking near the front entrance.

    At almost 6:30PM, still lots to choose from!

    Came to try their horchata latte one morning. You can definitely tell the horchata is house-made. It hits different in the best way: creamy and super flavorful. This is not your regular taqueria spot horchata. That said, I do wish it had been strained more to make it smooth. Even after mixing and swirling the drink, I kept getting chunks and grains with each sip, ended up doing more chewing than sipping, which isn't what I'm looking for in a coffee experience. The coffee itself is already chilled in a pitcher, so it's served cold and ready to go. Hopefully it was just an off day, since it's a new drink they're offering. The horchata flavor is there, just needs a little refining! The staff could've been a bit friendlier this visit. Happy to see they added little name signs to the breads! :)

    Bakes: l. To r.:almohada de queso(3.10), Danes relleno(4), napolitano (3.25)

    Don Polvoron opened where Petra Middle East Cuisine once was. Interior updated with bakery section and Mexico pics on walls. Offerings (Mexican): bakes, eats-breakfast, drinks, burritos, breakfast tortas, antojitos (street snacks: Tamales, quesadillas..), Waiting for service while 3 latinas alternating serving patrons at bakery & ringing them up at central register. No numbers for lineup. Easy for a senorita to "cut" in line ahead of me. Didn't know breakfast available. So didn't partake. Bites: Almohada's de queso (pillow cake 3.10) -x's on the surface. Some purée like substance in the middle mixed with queso (cheese). Interesting.. Dane's relleno (danish-ish 4) -peach & strawberry purée/jam in middle. Mex. Breading not same as danish. Not my "jam". Napolitano (3.10) -white icing atop. Soft cake underneath. Some parts not so soft. 3.5 stars bakes not my style. Would stick to breakfast next time.

    Pan Dulce

    Had a pierna guisada torta per recommendation from the worker and two conchas (pan dulce) three weeks ago in May for lunch. I thought the torta was really good! I like that it comes with a side of sauce you can eat it with. The selection of pastries was very impressive but I just settled for the pan dulce. I thought it was alright. It was pretty but tasted a bit old and dry. I think my standards are a bit high because I tried one in Cancun before and it was fantastic! I think if I heated it up it would be alright paired with a coffee to start the day. Overall this is a decent place to get Mexican pastries and a quick breakfast/lunch! I would come back and try other pastries. Very friendly workers!

    The employees were very nice and helpful. The conchas are SUPER SOFT!!! Will definitely be coming back for more of those. They also sell custom cakes for events.

    Adorable new panaderia with Mexican food including tortas, tamales, flautas, pupusas, etc. They do not serve tacos and burritos other than a breakfast burrito in the morning. I'm assuming this is due to Cinco taco next-door. Went during lunch and there were several folks working and I was greeted promptly at the door. There's a few tables, but most of the food is taken to go. Oh yum love their pan! Had the upside down pineapple muffin that was so fresh and tasty. Couldn't stop myself from eating it while I waited for my Sope and pupusa. Their food is made to order and everything is very fresh. That was probably one of the best sope I've had in a while. Freshly fried dough pilled with beans, roasted pork, lettuce & tomato. I took the pupusa to go. It was perfectly made and filled with beans and cheese. Since it was meticulously made by a baker, there was no cheese spillage, resulting in no yummy crunchy fried cheese edges. The bakery is where Petra's Middle Eastern food used to be in the same shopping center as Target next-door to Cinco Taco. This is more of an upscale Panadería and the prices reflect that.

    I stopped in during their grand opening and was warmly welcomed. They were offering samples of their sandwiches (tortas) and other treats. They had a variety of pan dulce. It all looked so delicious and guess what, it's as good as it looks! At least the concha and cuerno (horn) I had were delicious. They offer custom cakes and food. I can't wait to try! I'm delighted that Livermore finally has a place to get pan dulce!!

    I love my new found breakfast spot!!! They have delicious eggs and chorizo and beans breakfast with homemade tortillas. Fresh! Queso and crema mexicana. Fabuloso! Try the pan dulces and the cafecito. Everyone is so friendly and fast. The place is always clean and welcoming.

    the friendliness, courtesy, cleanliness and good vibes of this business exceed the quality and price of the product. the flavor, texture, freshness and size of pastries was on par with those of latin bakeries i've tried over in tracy , but price was more here. prices in tracy ranged from 1.25 to 1.75, while here they were 1.60 to 3.15. Still, the sweets were superior to those of the local mexican grocery store in town. the burritos were 12$ and way smaller than at other local places. meat was very shredded on the chicken and asada, and dispersed through plentiful rice. ok tasty, but i missed the fresh taste of pico and cilantro and bite size pieces of meat. overall, the 56$ for 2 burritos and a dozen sweets was not worth it.

    small assortment of mexican baked goods and hot food. they also have a meat display for popular custom cakes! the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. they didn't rush us when there was a line growing. everything was clean and neat. gotta try their coffees next time.

    Quite certain it might be the most expensive breakfast in Livermore, but their food is really good…read more Massive, and I mean MASSIVE portions of breakfast staples cooked with a deft touch. Bottomless, made to order, mimosas with just about every flavor possible, yeah you can for sure sign me up for visits to Monica's. One thing that is critical to remember, it's always busy and the weekend brunch hours are a madhouse, expect to wait. Now, that being said, if you're lucky enough to snag a seat at their six seat bar on the left side when you walk in, that's first come first served and they offer the full menu there. If you're waiting for a table, try to sit on the side patio, soak up some sun and watch the people strolling by.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and our food came out in about 15 min. The restaurant was also very clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. We did the bottomless mimosas, and they were definitely worth it! The champagne-to-juice ratio was great (mostly champagne!! lol) and there were several different flavors to choose from like mango, guava, orange, etc. I also ordered the Drunk in Love cocktail and it was super tasty. For food, we ordered the BLT and the bacon cheeseburger. Both were delicious and came with fries. Overall, great food, great drinks, and great service. We'll definitely be back!

The one thing that is still unchanged is that all the employees here are super friendly and happy, always smiling, and I never needed to ask for a refill on my water. We ordered: Pear/prosciutto salad Pork belly sandwich Carnitas burrito Our server was delightful. He recommended the carnitas burrito to me so I said sure! It was quite a substantial burrito covered in a gorgeous red sauce. Delicious! My dining companions loved their meals too. The friend that ordered the salad worked on it the entire time and it still looked like a full untouched salad. The arugula and pears looked fresh and tasty. It is a beautiful salad. We were not rushed out and a nice gentleman kept coming over to quietly check on us and make sure our water glasses were full. We appreciated the nice photo they took of us too. Thank you Polo's Corner. We will be back again very soon!

I ordered the carnival burrito it looked big, but the meat was cold, you could tell it was taken out of refrigerator. Cheese was not melted, meat cold, plate was hot so I understand them thinking it was hot, however half the burrito had such small amount if meat it was like a rice burrito. We won't be back!! Plus we waited 30 minutes for our food and only 6 people in restaurant at time.

    Omg! I've been having breakfasts in Livermore for a long time and how did I miss this place?!!!…read moreSuper cute place with multiple seating areas, out front, indoors and back area with a BAR!!!!! The back area is so spacious to accommodate large parties! Let me tell you about the food!!! I got Ohana Pancakes, it comes with pineapple, coconut and Mac nut syrup. I got mine without pineapple and it was drooling delish!! The two pancakes were light and airy, not dense like some pancakes. Sprinkled with coconut and a heaping serving is their delicious Mac nut syrup!! I wish there was more mac nuts...but all good, still delish. My sister ordered Joe's omelette (scramble listed on the menu). It comes with ground beef, spinach, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Comes with a side of toast and country potatoes. Again, a large portion of deliciousness! We also ordered Aloha mimosas- made with bubbles, vodka, passion, and guava. I couldn't finish it cuz they made it so good the alcohol was getting to my head This place is going to be a repeat place cuz I want to try everything on the menu! Everything we had was very tasty! Oh and of course one of our fav servers works there now. He didn't serve us but glad I got to see him. Pepe- we'll seat where you serve next time!!! See you again! I was so preoccupied by the cute place I forgot our server's name, which also provided excellent service!!! Thanks everyone! We'll be coming back again. And for those early birds like me, this place is open 6am-3pm only. So good to know I have somewhere to go that early in the am.

Our server was very sweet and attentive and took our order right away. It did take a long time to get our coffee's/food. I ordered a cheese omelette with a side of avocado and breakfast potatoes and sourdough toast. I realized when I got home I did not get the side of avacado, I had totally forgotten I ordered it and they charged and extra $3. I felt the omelette and breakfast potatoes was very bland and was lacking flavor. By the time we got the food it was cold as well. I'm a big believer in second chances so I'd give them another try. Maybe it was an off day so I'm thinking I'll try something different next time.
