La Concha Bakery is one of my all time favorite panaderia's. Located in the heart of Chula Vista,…read moreit is a family-owned bakery that specializes in traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and custom cakes! Known for their fresh, daily-baked pastries, it features a self-service (tray-and-tongs) experience in a clean, welcoming environment! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always making great recommendations for their customers! Parking can be a bit tricky with very few spaces available. Pricing is somewhat higher than it used to be, but then again so is everything else (like gas, lol). They have a great selection of conchas, polvorones, fresh bolillos, empanadas (chicken, beef, jalapeño cream cheese), and custom cakes! Typically, I get the empanadas de piña 10/10! They're so freaking delicious! They feature a golden, buttery, and flaky crust that shatters perfectly when bitten. Inside, they're filled with a rich, jammy pineapple filling that balances bright, tropical sweetness with a sharp, fruity tartness! Highly recommended!

I came in for the first time during Día de los Muertos and honestly the experience was a mix of…read morehighs and lows. The moment you walk through the door, the smell of fresh baked pan hits you and it is everything. The selection of pan dulce and bolillos had me feeling like I was back in Mexico City. So many options, beautifully displayed. That part alone almost made the trip worth it. But the customer service... yeah, I'm not the only one who noticed. I asked the lady at the register in Spanish if there was any chocolate pan de muerto and she completely ignored me. Like, didn't even look up. Just called someone from the back in Spanish, which, mija, I understood every word. The girl who came to help me was a little better but not much. She told me the chocolate pan de muerto was sold out, which fine, I get it, it was a holiday. But that's literally all you had to say. No smile, no "sorry we're out," nothing. Just took my money and that was that. The panadería itself deserves five stars. The staff needs some work. I'll probably go back for the pan because it really is that good, but I'm keeping my expectations low on the service side.

The icing was better on the chococream, but the cake was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor to it. On the other hand, the cake part on the chocobombon was moist and the cherry gave a nice flavor, but the icing was way too sweet. Pretty pricey for less than average cakes. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

I've ordered multiple cakes from Daisy Cakes over the last year for some of our family's most special occasions--including my daughter's first birthday, my sister-in-law's 60th celebration, and my husband's 50th birthday--and every single one has exceeded our expectations. Not only are the cakes absolutely stunning and customized down to the smallest detail, but they also taste incredible. That's something that's hard to find because so many beautiful custom cakes look amazing but fall short on flavor. Daisy Cakes delivers both every single time. The attention to detail, creativity, professionalism, and consistency are unmatched. She truly listens to your vision and brings it to life in a way that's even better than you imagined. Daisy Cakes has become my go-to baker for every special occasion, and I recommend her without hesitation. If you want a cake that will wow your guests and actually be the first dessert to disappear, look no further. You won't be disappointed!
