    I think this business is closed I got here at 8:25 and there was nobody there and there was nothing inside.

    I believe this business may be closed? Got there at 8:25 and there's nobody there. Most bakeries are open super early so maybe they are no longer in business.

    Tres leches cake!
    Paulene C.

    They have the best tres leches cake ever! I always order from here for birthday's and what not. I am extremely picky and they always do a great job of giving you exactly what you want.

    Best bolillo in Pico Rivera! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside
    Vanessa C.

    There are a few other bakeries in Pico Rivera that have been in the city for more than 20 years,but this bakery by far makes the best pan dulce in the city. My family and I use to go to the other long established bakeries but, unfortunately the bread isn't what it use to be. El Rey is a family owned business that has been making fresh bread for the past 25 years. You can always find Rey (the owner) or his brother making fresh bolillo and pan dulce in the morning. If you're in the mood for some delicious bread and want to support a local business, stop by this spot, trust me you won't regret it!

    Look at this croissant!  Better than in Paris!

Everything looked soooo good -- like the kind of place where you stand there for 10 minutes trying to decide. I kept it simple and got the iced horchata de olla. It was good! Not life-changing, but definitely enjoyable.

Their Café Oaxaca is soooo good -- and that's saying something because I'm not even a coffee drinker lol. Somehow they converted me, at least temporarily. I'm also a huge fan of their chipotle bacon and egg breakfast biscuit. It's super tasty, but I will say you'll probably want a drink with it because the bread can be a little on the dry side. Still delicious though. Now let's talk about their chocolate-filled croissant... I'm obsessed. If you know me, you know I'm a SUCKER for croissants. Wee wee It's flaky, chocolatey, and exactly what I want in the morning. Their conchas are also really good and definitely worth grabbing. One thing I really love about this place that most people might not know is that they let you take their used coffee grounds for gardening. I've actually used them on my grass and, not gonna lie, it's helped it grow tremendously. So not only am I leaving with pastries, I'm apparently leaving with lawn care supplies too lol. Overall, great little spot for coffee, pastries, and breakfast. I'll definitely keep stopping by on my morning drop-offs.

    Duran's has been a staple in our family for generations. My dad grew up in Pico Rivera in the late…read more1960s, and his family would always stop here for pan dulce. Fast forward to today (2026), and we're still supporting this local business with the same appreciation. Now that my grandparents are older and can't get to the bakery as often, Duran's has become part of our routine. My dad always stops by on his way home to Whittier--often after jobs in LA, Echo Park, or West LA--passing through Pico Rivera to pick up my grandfather's favorite elote and my grandmother's favorite tortuga. When I visit my parents in Whittier, I make it a point to stop here too--bringing pan dulce for my grandparents in Pico Rivera before heading over. The quality has remained consistently great over the years: fresh, traditional, and made with care. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming--you're consistently greeted with a warm hello, which makes every visit feel familiar and genuine. Duran's isn't just a bakery--it's part of our family history, and we're grateful it's still here. Duran's ha sido un pilar para nuestra familia por generaciones. Mi papá creció en Pico Rivera a finales de los años 60, y siempre venían aquí por el pan dulce. Hoy, en 2026, seguimos apoyando este negocio local con el mismo cariño. Ahora que mis abuelos ya son mayores y no pueden venir tan seguido, Duran's sigue siendo parte de nuestra rutina. Mi papá siempre pasa cuando va de regreso a Whittier--muchas veces después de trabajos en LA, Echo Park o West LA--para comprarle a mi abuelo su elote favorito y a mi abuela su tortuga. Cuando yo regreso al este del condado de Los Ángeles para visitar a mis papás en Whittier, también paso por Duran's para llevar pan dulce a mis abuelos en Pico Rivera. La calidad siempre es excelente: pan fresco, tradicional y hecho con dedicación. Además, el personal siempre es muy amable y atento--desde que entras te reciben con una bienvenida cálida que hace que cada visita se sienta especial y familiar. Duran's no es solo una panadería--es parte de nuestra historia familiar.
