Great focaccia too!

Store itself is has a great assortment of Italian goodies that you'll need if you're cooking your own Italian food at home it's a simple grocery store while small.

However, they were definitely open at around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. One of the reviews mentioned that it was a cash-only establishment. Well, debit and credit cards were accepted, with a $5 minimum. The place was rather small, but they had what we were looking for: various flavors of conchas and other typical pastries one would see a Mexican panaderia. Each concha was $0.80 (as of 06/23/2018). It was one of a few that had price listed. We picked out what four (4) conchas, two (2) fruit empanadas, two (2) peanut butter cookies, and a bottle of Pepsi for about $8. I really miss having a panaderia close by my house. I used to visit one frequently in my old neighborhood. Although I'm not from the south side, I can still count on "La-Concha" for a quick, economical snack whenever I end up in the area.

I got the espresso cardamom bun because of how delicious it looked! I also got the olive oil cake because it seemed highly recommended based off reviews. The bun was super soft and definitely tasted fresh, but personally I didn't really like the flavor and wish I got something else. I liked the olive oil cake and the texture was perfectly moist with a crispy crust. The coffee was also delicious. I ordered a lavender mocha iced, and it came with a creamy foam on top. I would definitely want to get their cookies if I'm ever in the area again because it seemed like almost everyone there was ordering one.

So simple but eloquently done. So when passing by again, I had to stop. They had the Side Walk Sign out, so for sure I knew they were open! So pleasantly surprised when you walk in. Such a simple eloquence to the design and layout. Japan or Korea, but it's actually a Mexican Bakery! I made a mistake and forgot to Ask : is this Sweet or Savory? Rookie mistake on my part, as my time in Asia, I know bakeries can easily be Sweet or Savory. Well the pastry was fresh, and it was stuffed with jalapeño cheese. I'd like to say, the flavor was good. It was $2.75, which is a good price for a large savory pastry! It was Awesome to see the Baker decorating a cake in the back Bakery. They were very welcoming and polite people. Another great Business I encountered in this neighborhood. Nice people. Courteous. I think their business cards are super cool. I would like to return and make sure I try a Sweet Pastry. There is an ice cream parlor down 26th Street also, Tacos next door. Harold's Chicken & Car Wash across the street.

Food is great, service is on point and the ambiance is just family oriented…read more La Central Bakery has been my go-to spot for the freshest Mexican baked goods for the last few years, and they never miss. They bake everything right in the back, constantly replenishing the shelves every few hours. In a world where prices everywhere keep climbing, they somehow remain incredibly affordable. I once mentioned this to the young lady at the counter, and she told me the family insists on keeping prices within reach so the community can still enjoy authentic pan dulce. That alone tells you everything about this place. The conchas? Super fluffy, fresh, and honestly some of the best around. And the variety--amazing. I'll gladly go out of my way to come here because freshness and quality matter, and they deliver every single time. They also open early, so you'll usually catch hardworking folks starting their day with a cafecito and a concha... or you'll catch me picking up a mixed box for my coworkers. One thing to note: cash only. Don't make my mistake of loading up a tray just to realize you didn't bring cash. Luckily, they've held my pastries more than once while I ran out to grab some. This truly is a mom-and-pop gem--warm, consistent, and worth every visit. Highly recommend!
