A very extensive bakery. I came to pick up some sweets to bring to a friend's house. I ordered the chocolate tres leches and the original tres leches with chocolate chips on top. Both were very tasty and my friends also enjoyed. The staff were friendly and answered all the questions I had. read more

Eli's Bakery Cafe - Tres Leches - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

Great bakery with a wide selection of sweet and savory options. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe makes it a fun stop. I'd recommend going in the morning when everything is fresh -- it really makes a difference, especially since some cupcakes and donuts can get a bit hard if they sit out too long. The cheesecake was more cake-like than traditional cheesecake, but still very tasty. I'd definitely go back! read more

Amazing baked goods and cakes - huge selection - we will be back a lot!!! If you go and park at the lower lot, make sure you park in the center row or you will probably get towed We were there about 10 minutes and saw the tow truck come around twice and pick someone up that parked for only a couple minutes read more

I promised the wife that I would search for and find a special cake or other exemplary baked good for the centerpiece dessert of our Spring Festival celebration this year. With good friends visiting from her homeland (China), I had no choice. After a lunch meeting in Norristown yesterday, I decided to see what I could find there. Fear not! Eli's Bakery Cafe was only minutes away on W. Marshall Street with strong reviews, so I drove over to take a look. I was blown away! Eli's is an amazing Mexican bakery with enough space to have large refrigerated displays, wall length 7 foot enclosed pastry shelves, and racks of bread, individual portions of various cakes, rolls and whatever your heart desired that could be baked in their enormous ovens. The skill level of their artisans was off the charts, and obviously trained and well practiced in the bakery arts. Yes. I was sorely tempted to score many of the delectables I saw, but I was on a mission, and bringing home a large box of sweets and goodies would not be well received at home. So, I focused and found the most attractive work of art I could find - a glazed fruit covered Flan y Chocflan con Fruta super tart. Huge strawberries circled the circumference, while raspberries, grapes and sliced peaches filled the rest of the topside. The flan was simply remarkable. Made of eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk and caramel, it was cool and far beyond delicious. It was one of those magical custards that make you swoon when it hits the tongue. Perfect flavor and texture. Not too sweet, you could almost convince yourself it was healthy, too. Truth was; I didn't care! This was one of the best things I had put in my mouth in the past year or more. We did have a feast last night. About 10 Chinese dishes that filled us as we ate and drank the night away. Yet, the star of the show came from this Mexican bakery half way around the world from the Middle Kingdom. Eli's made the showstopper. And I was the conquering hero for one night. read more

Extensive selection of pastries and cakes. Went here for a tres leches cake. It was $125 for a suggested 40 person cake. Truly it could have served more than forty. Definitely worth it. Delicious. Ended up getting strawberry filling but they also had sever other option. They also put icing on the front and any kind of writing you want. On the pastry front they have dozens of rows of items on metal trays. You serve yourself here and grab a circular metal tray and tongs and grab the items you want then take them to the front for check out. They also have Mexican sodas and other beverages. read more

On a weekday night this bakery was actually quite busy with regular customers, I was impressed. At the front you can choose from pastries to pick up and people got trays and stacked them full! I got a peach tres leche for $4.50. The slice was pretty big and the taste was pretty good. I was surprised it was so cheap! I had no trouble trying to order in English though most people around me were ordering in Spanish. There is a $5 card minimum tho, so bring cash if you're planning to get something small. read more

Eli's Bakery Cafe - Birthday Cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

Although it is kind of difficult to figure out which pastry/cake is what, it was delicious. There is a nice variety but there are no prices anywhere so it's not the easiest place to order anything. I would go back as there are not a lot of great bakeries and the cake was really good, but like I said kind of hard to figure out what you are buying. read more

Such a great experience at this panaderia! The prices are great and the selection is fantastic. I paid 10 bucks for a big bag of pan dulce and a drink and it was an awesome treat. Every pan tasted perfect and the bolillos were both crispy and fluffy. Ive been enjoying my leftover pan for days, so I'll definitely be going back! They also have an absolutely beautiful display of cakes and other treats. The flan and fruit tarts looked especially appealing, and I'm sure all of them would be a hit at a party or potluck! read more

Excellent! Overwhelming! Largest pastries I've seen. Tried for the first time on Cinco de Mayo and brought to work. It was accepted very well! The pastries were not overly sweet. Beautifully created. Will try again soon. read more

This is the most amazing bake shop I have seen anywhere The price was great the specials cake was just amazing, better than I have ever bought. They have for all occasions amazing decorating. This bakery shop has it all, anything imagined you can buy here. Danishes donuts cakes of any kind, breads everything I was totally amazed. This is the only bake shop I will ever go for any occasion from now on. A grocery store cake for the same price cannot possibly compare. I recommend this bakery highly. Bring your phone to translate the conversation. For the most rewarding experience. You must stop in and buy. I give it a 10 if I could but the rating goes to only a 5 and I give it a 5 and two thumb's up. My name is Jerry "thank you ELI's" for making the center piece for a great party for my daughter. Thank you Jerry read more

Disgusting molded cake. I got the chocolate très lèches with strawberry and peach. I got home cut and eat the cake and I thought it tasted bitter. Took a good look at it and found mold everywhere. All the strawberries on top and in the layers were molded. DISGUSTING AND SOOO UNHYGIENIC!!!!!! If I get sick I'm suing this place! read more

We had a birthday at our store in Plymouth Meeting. Said birthday boy loves red velvet, so I set out to get him one. I called around the area and could not find a bakery to make one, seems they are a specialty cake. I called Eli's and talked to the nice woman. Asked if we could have a red velvet the next day and she said of course! What time did we need it, etc. We'll, I have to say, it was the best red velvet cake I or my coworkers have ever had. The cake part was wonderful, but the icing.. OMG was it ever so good. Thank you Eli's! read more

Awesome cake n pastries. Love this place. Specially this time of the year. My Cake decoration was really good

Muy mal servicio al cliente. Llame el día 6 de enero para ver si tenían roscas disponibles y el tamaño y me contestaron que si que habían medianas y grandes, le dije la razón por la cual llamaba era porque iba desde lejos para cuando llegara hubiera. Llegue a la panadería me dicen que solo tienen grandes. Cuando le digo que había llamado, no para que me separaran una, si no para no ir en vano me dicen que sorry. tampoco me dicen quien contesto el teléfono. le digo esta no es la primera vez que me hacen lo mismo. honestamente las empleadas que atienden en la caja no saben ni la hora que es. No hay buena comunicación entre ellas. Deberian darle un curso antes de que comiencen a trabajar en ese puesto. Porque el servicio al cliente es lo más importante en cualquier negocio especialmente en uno de comida. Entiendo el rush del día de Reyes, pero por favor este seguro lo que le dice al cliente. read more

Once upon a full bladder, I stumbled across this diamond in the rough. My car was parked 62 meters away. I cracked the door and my animalistic instincts took hold like a bloodhound hot on the trail. Eyes closed, nose pointed;I B-lined for Eli's bakery. I entered Eli's. The euphoria alone subsided my urinary urge. My pupils dilated. My trash compacting stomach compressed the 10% digested fast food precipitously masticated and roared for desert. I bought so much cake. I ate so much cake. I will buy so much more cake. Thank you Eli. read more
