Love this bakery! Such a good place to go to if your craving pasteries me and my grandma come here all the time! The tres leches is to die for! And the owner is the sweetest person ever :)! read more

Ordered a custom tres leches cake for Valentine's Day to surprise my SO (Dominican). When I went in to pick it up, I was astounded! The cake was absolutely beautiful and the staff wonderful. The attention to detail was amazing, I was giggling with excitement on the way home. Surprised my SO with it and she was ecstatic--hopping on FaceTime left & right showing her family & friends. The presentation is one thing--the taste is another. After cutting into it & biting, it was delicious! Incredibly moist and light, we loved it, it was the best tres leches I've ever had--and my SO said it tasted exactly like her grandma's. 10/10 would go back for any occasion. It was fantastic (with lots of leftovers!) read more

Best pan dulce in the Lacey/Olympia area. It's a small shop with a fresh assortment of pan dulce. Their conchas are perfect. You can order cakes and they have a selection of spices and some candies available. After reading other reviews, edited to add: If it's your first time having pan dulce, some will be crumbly. Eat it with some coffee/tea (like a biscotti but not nearly as hard). Or get an empanada. **You do have to serve yourself and pay at the register. Grab a tray, a pair of tongs, and tissues. read more

Was warmly greeted by Julia when I entered her bakery. I ordered a dulce de leche cake and it was delicious and beautiful. Top shelf in every aspect. I WILL be back. read more

I wanted to try some concha for the first time and came across this place. First bite and it was so stale like it had been sitting out for days! Hoping for it to be soft but nope. Not going back. Threw it right in the trash. read more

Wonderful, small Mexican bakery. I love their fruit-filled Empanadas, Tres Leche cakes, and signature Mappa cake. They also do wedding cakes cookies and lots more. Very friendly service. read more

great little spot if you like Mexican pastries we had been looking all over but couldn't fine any the pastries were fresh and not to sweet small place but good read more

Although the cake we ordered turned out to be good, the customer service was not. They had given my order to someone else. I made her call that person to bring it back. I waited for an hour to get the cake. She never apologized, in fact she blamed the person she sold the cake to! She ignored me when I asked for some discount. read more

I visit friends from college about once a year down here and go to lake fair. We always stop here on the way to lake fair. You can't go wrong with their donuts and they have a pretty big selection of different breads that I have never tried. The tamales are really good. The lady that runs it is always really nice and let's us try new samples of breads. The pricing is normal. For us it's a convenient location and turned into a tradition stopping for the donuts and tamales. You can tell it's a family owned small business, which where I live, I always make it a habit to support local small businesses. So 2 thumbs up for me. read more

Julia's Bakery & Cafe - I love these warm stuffed jalapeño and cheese bread in the morning. Good Stuff!! - Bakeries Near Me - Olympia, Washington

It's currently 6:00 pm and they are closed. Need to update their signs and Google about what time they close. Will update if I can catch them when they are open, very disappointed about this. read more

I like her tamales. Bring them home, take them out of the foil, and pop them in a steamer for about 1/2 hour...perfection. Plus my husband loves Marta and her husband as they are all from Guatemala. I will say that when I first went in on my own, she only had chicken and the Jalapeno/cheese kind. Then my husband followed me in, and I pointed out the painting of Antigua, and they started to chat, suddenly there were pork tamales available. Marta is a from Guate, but her pastries are more Mexican. Anyway, a real tamale IS mostly masa (to the person who posted above). We make a point of going there at least once a month. read more

I thought I finally found somewhere to get tasty tamales around here. Wrong! The flavor is there but they are way more generous with the masa than they are with the meat. Their tres leches cake is pretty delish, but pricey! Skip their bakery items.. they may look good & they will always tell you they were baked fresh "today" but I have a hard time believing them as the few times I caved they were hard & crumbly. Disappointing, for sure.. read more

Love the bread ! and we miss enjoying our traditional Mexican bread from Julia's Bakery in Washington State, Candy Reyes y familia.

I love this place, the breads and pastrys are delicious and authentic. The tamales are awesome and good price! Heat em up put some sour cream and salsa DELICIOUS!! Cakes are wow especially the tres leche. great place to try out and discover something new read more

I went in to purchase some tamales for Christmas. I paid almost $50 for 2-dozen tamales. When I brought the tamales home they didn't seem very fresh and were kind of dry like they had been frozen for awhile. I felt they had more masa than it should have had compared to the filling. I used to live in LA and I am used to them being freshly made. Especially coming from a bakery I had higher expectations. I think if I need tamales I will try another place in town. read more

I was totally underwhelmed. I picked up a selection of four pastry items, but every last one tasted stale. They were so dry, we ended up throwing them out. Yes, they were cheap, but there is no money saved if it goes in the trash. read more

I have some family in Tacoma and just went to visit them. They took me to this bakery and I loved it! Everyone was so nice and the bread was soooo good! They even sell tamales year round witch is awesome cuz my family only makes them during Christmas. read more

Great bread. Finally some real pan dulce in washington. Baked fresh every morning. They do tend to run out some weekends so get there early.

Walked in wasn't greeted. A few cookies on display. Wanted to order a cake changed my mind. I don't buy stuff from stores where I am not greeted. read more

I came in to grab a quick snack for my drive home and decided to grab three items, two bagels which were surprisingly cheap+tasted great and some bagel type thing that had cream cheese and jalapeños in it, which turned out to be delicious. I wish they were my neighbors. read more

I rate it a -1 Julia whatever her name is just assumed my brother took something from the store that he had bought yesterday.So she decided to tell us I'm going to close the store and you have to leave.And KICKED us OUT.NEVER EVER GOING THERE AGAIN.that was just plain rude read more

If I could give a lower score I would! HORRIBLE service! Came in to place an order for a couple of dozen donuts at 0730 and the guy at the counter was on the phone talking in spanish and blatently looking at me and continued to talk on the phone as I sat standing there at the counter ready to order. I stood there for 10 minutes, no joke, giving him much the benifit of the doubt. THEN as if it couldn't get worse, he ducks down below the counter! I thought, oh he is going to take my order finally and NOPE, he continues to talk on the phone!! I don't recomend this place to anyone! When I went in, there were all these pinnatas hanging from the roof over a couple of truckstop type tables and a wall of mexican foods/items on the right wall and some bunch of dusty bagged up spanish themed items hanging behind the counter. To the left, they had some display cases of some unusual looking pastry items...don't think they are american but probably a version of a mexican pastry. In the back of the store was a case where the typical "Donuts" were located along with slices of what looked like cake or cheesecake. The typical donut pastry selection was not very big. Some long johns and apple fritters and plain or chocolate glazed donuts, but thats about it. It was really frustrating as there are not alot of donut shops near my work and I was suppost to bring some in for work and this guy running the shop was of no help. There was another guy running around baking the donuts and I know he saw me standing there in front of the counter and the guy on the phone but he too ignored me. I doubt they cared that I left without buying anything but I was to be sure to let everyone know the horrible service this small buisness gave. I'm not one to complain EVER but this was rediculous! read more

Wasn't anything special, I have been to many Mexican bakeries. Wasn't much verify. Walked in wasn't welcomed the person behind the counter didn't talk at all. I said hello I said please and thank you and have a good day with nothing back. read more
