    Conchas
    Claudia S.

    I've been here late in the day and the Mexican pastries have been stale possibly from the day before. Luckily this time I came before noon and the bread was soft and fresh so I'm giving them four stars instead of three. They have all the classic Mexican pastry staples from elotes to conchas and empanadas. They also have a little selection of groceries like milk and tostadas (pericos the best tostadas). They have a small fridge of cakes as well I'm sure you can preorder custom cakes. Definitely recommend this bakery especially since there's not that many Mexican bakeries in the Glendale and Atwater areas.

    Pan de muerto
    Nemesis C.

    It's a nice bakery. I went for día de los muertos (day of the dead) to buy pan de muerto. Picked up some pan dulce and it was all delicious!

    I have been ordering bday cakes from here for years now. I skipped one or 2 but for my son we decided to buy two cakes. I ordered them with solid colors/ plain and I ordered the paws/bones and paw patrol logos from Etsy. I just put them on myself. I was able to save so much $$$. The 8" was chocolate raspberry and the 10" was tres leches with fresh strawberries. All for $70. Where other places were charging minimum of $140. Great place to order from. The only thing is that they gave me a hard time when I asked to place them on top as a layered cake. They wanted to charge me $250 so my advice just get them separate and pay $70. The best tasting one was the tres leches with strawberries.

    Big fat hair in the concha

    I would come all the time when craving a nice concha, well I picked up a dozen mini ones to take to my coworkers the next morning. As I was chewing I felt one of the worse things you can feel while eating food someone else made...a hair. Not only was that gross but now I look like a moron for bringing in pan that I claimed was amazing only to find a hair in it. Never again

    .....on the cold days,they have the best champurrado that perfectly goes well with the conchas

    ....in cold times like this/ winter....they have the best champurrado.... and don't forget their chicharones y pan

    Hi Andrew. Can you please update your hours? I'm sitting in the parking lot of El Pavo at 7:55pm and the bakery is closed. Yelp and Google lists your hours until 8:30pm. What's going on?? :(

    Actually, you're right. That is a mistake. I am so sorry and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Updating the hours now.

    Can I order online?

    Yes you may! On our website at elpavobakery.com

    Does the bakery accept custom cake orders right now? Very Curious wanting the tres leches cake for my baby shower!

    Hey Mariana, yes we are! Just come to any of our stores in person to order with a cashier (:

    I don't know how I've missed this pastry shop all of these years. I've lived in the area for about…read more8 years and the shop is about 8 minutes from my home. I happened to be at the tire shop across the street getting the tires changed on my car and needed to pick up some pastries for guests that were coming over that same day. One of those guests happens to be a baker so I really needed to find some fresh delicious pastries. I checked Yelp for nearby bakeries and La Jaconde popped up with really great reviews so I drove right across the street and picked up some baked goods. I picked up this big pastry that was stuffed with cream cheese and sour cherries (TRUST ME you want this), a box of mixed cookies and bite sized goodies, and a box of stuffed dates (don't knock it until you try it). EVERYTHING was fresh. Everything was tasty. And it got the stamp of approval from the baker friend. The cream cheese and sour cherry stuffed bakery literally disappeared in 10 minutes, and that thing was not small by any means. I returned to this same place the following week to pick up some savory baked goods for some friends, and the owner was at the shop and was so kind and so proud of his products (as he should be). Needless to say this is going to be my bakery of choice. I'd drive past 5 shops to get to this one any day.

    So creamy and soft, the strawberry cake was so yummy everyone enjoyed it at my friend's…read morehousewarming party!

Stopped by because I've been on an Armenian pastry trend at this time. I ended up grabbing some nazook, medium lahmajun, and also decided to give the beef khachapuri kabob a try as I haven't seen that offered at other spots I've tried. Service was quick and on point and the lahmajun did take about 10-15 minutes as they make them fresh. They have a pretty expansive patio where you can enjoy your goodies and hang out. Parking can be a bit of a challenge as it is mostly street parking, but I managed to snag a spot a few blocks away. As for the food, the nazook is amazing and better than a few other bakeries I've tried in Glendale. The lahmajun was also amazing and very flavorful with a good amount of meat. And lastly, the beef khachapuri kabob was amazing! It had that nice smoky charcoal flavor in the meat and worked well with the surrounding pastry. Definitely will be back again and bringing friends to this Glendale gem!

    Are you kidding me!? Seriously…read more Are. You. Kidding. Me!! I have driven by this place MANY times over. Usually passing through to get somewhere else. Well, I needed to meet up with a friend who recently moved into the area and he suggested this place because it was a new spot he and his lady started frequenting. So, when I got there I realized this place is the ENTIRE BLOCK!! It's MASSIVE!! (I apologize about no pics this time - but, I'm pretty sure this will be a regular spot for me!) When you walk in the place almost takes your breath away. WOW! The cases are clear and amazingly stocked. It's beautiful. Check out the menu for items but, I had four different things - 2 savory and two sweet - and I was super excited. The service was also super attentive. Very helpful. Parking is plentiful. The place is clean. Indoor outdoor seating. Dog-friendly. This is a place to frequent and support.

Always a pleasant experience at these bakeries. This Glendale bakery café was clean, bright, and beautifully organized with a large variety of pastries, cakes, and drinks on display. I tried the Strawberry Soft Cream Cake, Berries cake, Curry Croquette, and their signature iced Korean lattes. The pastries were soft and flavorful without being overly sweet, and the cakes looked just as good as they tasted. The curry croquette wasn't a favorite of mine. It was my first time trying and the spices didn't amaze my palette. I will have to try their garlic bread next time if I feel like getting something savory. Their sweets are always a hit for me! Overall, the staff was friendly and greeted customers warmly as they come in. Small parking lot at this location but still worth the wait. Good visit!

Unfortunately, after that, I never heard back. It's disappointing because it initially seemed like they wanted to make things right, but nothing was ever resolved. Giving away a cake that had been pre-ordered two weeks in advance for my daughter's birthday was already incredibly frustrating. The lack of follow-up after reaching out only reinforced the poor customer service we experienced.
