It's funny how you never really seem to know the area in which you live. I had no idea this bakery is as close to home as it is. The service is friendly, if you have questions. You grab a bin and tongs to choose the items you'd like to purchase. All of the pastries and bread are fresh and inviting. I haven't yet eaten the bolillo I purchased, but will be doing that in the next day or so. Bolillo is THE BEST bread for sandwiches (tortas or bocadillos, depending upon where you live). The donut, danish, and lemon pastry were FABULOUS! There is nothing wrong with any of these things, except that I should have purchased two of each instead of having control over myself. Flaky pastry, delicious flavors, and that pillowy donut are probably made in heaven. At least, that's what my mouth thinks. I literally cannot find anything negative to say. I know that we will be back, and probably sooner than my waistline recommends. read more

The cake I have loved for years has changed. It was more moist, more chocolatey, much darker in color. Not nearly as good but still as expensive. I am heartbroken. I will not be back. Especially with the employees not knowing what I wanted to order on my first attempt at ordering. Should've taken that as a sign. :( read more

Durango Bakery - Chocolate tres leches - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you're looking for a good Mexican bakery in NE, look no further. This bakery offers Mexican and Ecuadorian bread. My personal favorites are the conchas. My second favorites are the empanadas, they are not overpoweringly sweet-- they're just right. The location is small, clean and with lots of variety. Prices are unbeatable. Service is friendly and cakes are delicious. All bread is freshly baked daily. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Got a couple different cookies after having lunch next door. I love panaderias but with several other options in the area this one was not my favorite. read more

My first visit here and it won't be my last! Every year for my mom's birthday, we visit her favorite Patisserie restaurant to enjoy Tres Leches cake, my mom's favorite. Being that this year in 2020 we are in amidst a Pandemic we were saddened that we weren't able to to that year. Thanks to Yelp I'm so happy to find this amazing bakery! At Durango Bakery, Tres Leches cake is sold by the slice! Very friendly and helpful staff. They wrote Happy Birthday on my mom's slice when I asked. There are variations of the Tres Leches cake, too which appreciated. You get a choice of strawberry or peach filling. My mom loves strawberry but I am allergic to strawberry. So I bought one of each! The peach was super yummy! Oh...and my mom loved her strawberry Birthday Tres Leches cake! Thank you for helping make my mom's Birthday special. I can't wait to come back to try other yummy baked goods here read more

Durango Bakery - Tres Leches Cake sold by the slice! Durango kindly wrote Happy Birthday on the slice! - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

They have one of the best tres leches cake and it's a must try. I loved the price points they have. $40 for a large cake is a lovely deal. They even have other bakery items and it's a must try place. I loved the cheese cake they have. Service was good. Ambiance is not great and it's not a place where you can sit and eat. It's mainly a grab and go. read more

Looked up the nearest panaderia near me and we rushed over to Durango to fulfill my cravings. Only reason for the 4 stars is due to the fact that we had hoped to devour my favorite pan - (Elotes) but they did not have any. My heart was crushed and had to settle for a different pan. Overall, they have quite a selection. Just happens that the day I went they didn't have the one I wanted. They also have cakes and things.. Support your local Panaderia. read more

Delicious pastries, the best Tres leches cake ive ever had. Great service and selection read more

Durango Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I bought a "Tres Leches" cake and other baked goods such as bread and conchas. I loved it! I called in the morning and they had it ready before noon. It was quick and easy and they were nice and conversational. Also, good prices. Beware that parking might be a little confusing. You can park on the street out front or out back and come through the back entrance, they were very cool. I recommend as the it was delicious and a reasonable price. Note: I spoke to them in Spanish, I didn't try to speak to them in English. FYI, if you're not a Spanish speaker. Compré un tres leches y unas conchas, churros, y pan. Buen servicio y amables. Puedes entrar por adelante o estacionar atrás. Yo fui atrás, estaba un poco confundído pero me dejaron entrar por la puerta de la cocina y el resto fue historia. Muy buen lugar para tortas y pan. read more

Durango Bakery - Birthday Tres Leches Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is our neighborhood Mexican bakery that has all the goodies you'd want!! Empanadas, coches, churros, croissants, cookies, breads, and pound cake! We love to splurge and grab sweets after grabbing tacos at El Riendo Taco! Today we got our first Tres Leches birthday cake and it was absolutely THE BOMB!!! Wow so rich and tasty, but not ridiculously sweet. Light whipped cream and a little fruit cocktail in the filling, with fruit on top. Over the top! Happy wife makes a happy family. She loved it. There you go guys! Get a cake from here on your lady's next birthday!! read more

Every year on our son's birthday we order Tres Leche Cake (his favorite) from Durango. We've not had better anywhere in the Metro. They also have a nice array of traditional Mexican bakery items, none of which are sweet by American standards, which is fine by me. read more

This is a fantastic bakery. They have wonderful baked goods. Unfortunately, I don't know a single name for a baked good here, or at any panaderia, for that matter! They have one that's like a cone with custard in it, that's a good one. They also have a pastry that has chocolate in it, and it's rectangular and has openings in the top that look like the lines we used to cut in our jeans in the 80s. If you see those, you should just buy a bunch of them. They're the best. I have enjoyed all of the baked goods I've gotten here. I wish that I have tried more of them! I will definitely need to work on that. That's my new year's resolution: buy more pastries from Durango. read more

Whoa. Ok so, wandering out of El Taco Riendo around 8:30, my husband and I strolled by this place. There were people inside, even though they supposedly close at 5. He pauses and says to me "Do you want to go in there? I'll buy you whatever you want." BINGO. Walking into the small store, I'm immediately hit with the smell of fresh baked pastries. As I look over all of the different varieties, I notice I don't see anything over a dollar. Whaaaaat. The hubs grabs a platter and some tongs and we start loading it up. Bavarian cream filled croissant. Guava and strawberry filled triangle thingies with sugar. A big cheese danish type thing. A couple other things and our total came to $6ish. Crazy. We brought them home and destroyed them. So good. We'll be back. read more

Always fresh and delicious!!! The conchas are the best! I've recommended this place to friends who are looking for a Tres Leches cake.

Stopped in yesterday morning to grab a couple treats. They had a rack out of the warm freshly baked items and the staff member was very helpful in making our selections. I tried a pineapple cheese stuffed pastry. I honestly didn't think those flavors would go well together, but always am up for trying new things. This was a homerun. The cheese was light and fluffy just like the bread surrounding it. We also grabbed another large cheese stuffed item and that was just as good if not better. For $2.50 we got 2 very large items that were both amazing, and that's tough to beat! read more

Inexpensive, friendly, TASTY AS ALL GET OUT, and open on Sunday morning when the rest of the bakeries in Northeast are taking the day off. Grab tongs and a platter and go to town. Definitely agree with another reviewer that you feel a bit bad for how cheap it all is... but not too bad! I got a huge platter's worth of conchas, empanadas, pan el queso, and croissants for $6. Madness! Can't wait to go back - this is my new go-to bakery. read more

Durango Bakery - All this for $6! Amazing. - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is one of those places in Northeast that (for no particular reason) I never made it to until recently--and I am now wishing I hadn't waited so long to stop in! So far, I have tried and enjoyed their bread products such as bolillo, telera, wheat rolls, and croissants (large and small), along with their sweets such as conchas (excellent!), churros, donuts, molasses cookies, polvorones (tri-color cookies), M&M cookies, and more! Durango is a traditional Mexican bakery, which is great--it compares favorably to other panaderias I've bee the prices really are incredibly reasonable. So far, the selection has really varied each time I've been there, and be warned that there are no labels, as others have said. If you're relatively familiar with Mexican bakeries, you'll be just fine. The staff have been super helpful and willing to answer questions, which is great. COVID precautions have been good at the times I've visited, too. Not everything I've purchased has tasted the freshest/top quality, but I have gone exclusively at different times during the latter half of the day, since Durango is open later (yay!) than any other bakery I'm aware of in NE/SE Minneapolis. I'm looking forward to trying the tres leches cake, the fruit empanadas, and some of their other specialties in the future! read more

Just ate El Taco Riendo and need a little treat afterwards? Pop on over to Durango Bakery next door. You will easily find it because it will smell like the most glorious of scents your nostrils have ever smelled. Do you need a cake for a special occassion? This place has such beautiful cakes that I am sure taste just as good as they look. Head on in and you will receive a pan and some tongs. Fill up your tray with all the tasty dough-y treats. Be sure to try the empanadas con pina queso....so good. The bread is so soft with just enough sweetness inside. They have all kinds of goodies including conchas, tres leches, cream filled sugary goodness. I have been in during the daytime and also late night before and they have plenty at any time you go. The cashiers are always pleasant and helpful. read more

The prices are so low you may feel bad. Today we bought an entire bag of goodies and 2 pieces of cake for under 10 bucks - 9 total items. read more

I looked up bakeries near me and found Durango and wow all the reviews were amazing so I thought I would try it out. It's quaint- free parking in the back or you can opt for street. Amazing selection! I went a little crazy and filled my plate with all sorts of sweets:) came home and my taste buds were thrilled! I love this place! read more

This place smells sooo good, right from the moment you opened the door! The prices are pretty cheap here, probably averages around $1/item. I got 4 different kinds (conchas, rectangle-shaped one that's filled with cream cheese, a moon-shaped one with the same topping as concha + sesame seeds, another moon-shaped one filled with Bavarian cream) for a bit under $4. I obviously don't remember a lot of the names haha. My favorite is definitely the one filled with cream cheese - it's light and fluffy. The cream cheese isn't entirely just sweet, but have a slight savory taste to it as well. The other three was decent but I will go for other ones next time. The only thing is they only stay good for like maybe one more day - two would be pushing it already. I suspect maybe the ones I bought have been on the shelf for a bit. Would love to know when the fresh batches come out :) read more

Super friendly staff and yummy affordable treats! As someone who is not knowledgeable about pastries and such though, I would have appreciated clearer signage/descriptions next to each item read more

I called to inquire about a 2-tiered cake for a small wedding and was flat out refused a quote. Due to Covid concerns, we've scaled back our plans quite a bit to celebrate our marriage responsibly. I was told "We don't do small. You're gonna have to go to Sam's Club for that". So please keep in mind that the folks in charge of this business aren't willing to bend at all to help or even inform people in these trying times. read more

Conchas I wanted and Conchas I got. They have a lot of nice pastries here, but I like the simple ones. A concha is a light sweet bread (pan dulce) with a subtle sugar topping (dextrose?) All I know I love them. And the ones here are first rate. Add a helpful friendly staff and we have a winner. I also got a wheat roll with feta inside. Very interesting side for my red lentil soup I made today. read more

This bakery is great and consistent! We always order the tres leches cake for celebrations at my office. I believe it has been about 5 cakes now .They are always friendly and have the cake ready on time! You won't be disappointed! read more

Damn. I thought about writing this review and now all I want is cookies. I'll try to write coherent sentences through my insatiable desire for some Durango treats right now. First off, the only thing you need to know: MANY MANY YUMS FOR VERY VERY CHEAP. This place is so good. From cookies and sweet empanadas to donuts and cakes, Durango totally has you covered for any sweet you might need. Tres leches cake? Got it. Delicious. No problem. Cookies? Chocolate chip, elephant ears, crumbly perfection. They also have an awesome selection of Mexican treats, the names of which always evade me. BUT, they're so good. They have the little cakes with powdered sugar and cream-puff thingys (a technical term), and they always taste fresh and baked just as they should be. The best part about Durango is that it is way inexpensive for what you get AND you're supporting a sweet local business with friendly staff and awesome products. They have some staples (chocolate-chip cookies) and also leave some too for exploration beyond typical Minnesota-bakery fare. Tip: free parking in the back. You enter through the kitchen, I think, but it's cool. They don't mind. (Or you can be like me and be super embarrassed to enter that way so you just walk halfway around the block to the front. That works, too.) read more

It smells so good in here.. the fresh baked bakeries. The pies, the cookies, the puff pastries, and the whatever they are that have just been brought out from the ovens. It's yummy goodness! :) read more

I have no idea what I had, some kind of fruit bread/cake out of the cooler, but it was delicious

I am in NE a lot since most of my family lives in this neighborhood. We were over at Taco Riendo eating lunch when I decided to give this place a try. After lunch we came by to check it out and get some post lunch treats. This place has a nice selection of baked goods with the highlight being their sweet treats. I did order some of their flatter bread, and croissants which were also great! Best feature of this place is how cheap it is. I got a whole bag of goodies for only $4. read more

Soft, good, but flavor could be richer. Very nice customer service, but when we walked in, all I could smell was cleaning solution. If the adjust some of thing things, def could be 4 Star. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall little bakery but very authentic feeling and really nice customer service.

Very affordable as well. read more

I called two days prior for a birthday cake. I had my BF pick up a birthday cake for my little brother. I've chose the tres leches cake and it did not turn out nothing like I thought it would. The cake was too moist, the milk was dripping out from the cake. Tasted OK... after a couple bites. But not something you would want to go back for seconds or anything like that. And then on top of that the cake was POORLY decorated. Not even exaggerating- the way they even spelt out happy birthday was like a child decorated this cake... birthday was not even spelt out correctly it said "birrdoy"..I feel so bad for even writing this review but come on.. at least spell "birthday" right. But ig you get what you pay for and pictures from the website surely did not look like that in person. It was poorly packaged & it was leaking everywhere. If something doesn't look too appetizing the crowds won't even bother giving it a try. I didnt even want to take a picture because it was not appealing to the eye. read more

I wanted to get a different kind of cake for a birthday and they offered different sizes of Tres Leche cake. The cake was outstanding. Loved it. Cake was also ready when promised. read more

I came early in the morning to pick up pastries for co-workers. Not a lot of variety when I was there, but the bakers were busy in the kitchen, so I'm sure they were making some delicious items! The pastries I took to work were a bit dry and some rather bland, but the tres leches cake was perfection. Also can't beat these prices! read more

The best panderia in Minnesota, maybe the best east of the Mississippi. Their Baker knows what he is doing. All the favorites

Yummy!!!! The staff here is friendly, and it is delicious! Well priced too! Don't miss this gem :)

This place is amazing. Empanadas are stupendous. Prices amazing. Cakes gorgeous. Like something your Mama would make. Need 10 stars for this place. read more

I love living in Windom Park and great local businesses are a big reason why! Durango Bakery is my go-to for picking up baked treats for Sunday breakfast or evening tea. I am a huge fan of their Palmeras (or their French name, Palmiers). The puff pastry is crisp, but just a little chewy with caramelized sugar. A big treat is during October is getting a big loaf of Pan de Muerto (a similar version called a Gallina is available sometimes), soft, enriched orange-scented sweet bread that is great with a cup of tea. Their churros are also an occasional treat! This place is a gem! read more
