They have a big selection of Mexican pastries, including all the classic old-school favorites. The place is big, clean, and super welcoming. They also have beef, cream cheese, and chicken empanadas that I might try next time. They have a fridge full of ready-made cakes, which is really convenient. The coffee was just okay. They do have a small parking area, which helps. Overall, a solid spot for pan dulce!

Was looking for a bakery near by to buy a cake. My cousin saw this place was close by and suggested we go check it out. Parking in the font limited to 15mins and there's no space to drive around it's literally the parking space and main road. The inside is clean and the pastries and bread were all behind the display window. The bread and other pastries are self serve they provide tongs and a tray. The cakes are beautifully displayed and we ended up getting an Oreo chocolate cake and asked if they could write on it and they did a beautiful job. We also ended up getting a concha, eclair and a cuerno. Everything was good love the bread it's perfect to pair with coffee. The Oreo cake was amazing moist and delicious. The staff is friendly. Would definitely return.

The absolutely best Pan dulce I have ever had. Absolutely delicious, rich and moist. We went to pick up bread in the afternoon and the bread was still sooo fresh and amazing. The parking is very limited but it is so worth it I can't recommend it enough and will only purchase sweet bread from here.

Stopped by this cute shop since somebody recommended this place during our dinner. Came in at around 2ish, they had several options for breads and cakes. We selected their best seller conchas and and a few others. They got a busy with a cake order and they made us wait a bit until somebody came from the back and finished packaging our order. Bread was tasty, and fluffy.

My friend brought some to share, and I just had to stop by myself. ( worth the drive) Love the vibe and everything was so fresh.

La Concha Bakery has always been a South Bay staple--tucked off E Street near 3rd Avenue--but I hadn't been in for a while, and it looks like it's had a bit of a zhuzh! Maybe the renovation happened a while ago (maybe even a year or more?), but it was new to me--and it looks great. Fresh, welcoming, and still holding onto the charm that makes it a neighborhood favorite. We grabbed a box full of goodies, and I have to say--the chocolate chip cookie surprised me the most. It had that nostalgic, gooey-chewy vibe that reminded me of a classic Mrs. Fields cookie. My wife's favorite was the pumpkin empanada, and all the hot empanadas behind the glass looked amazing. We tried two: the spinach with ricotta and the chicken. Both were incredibly buttery, flaky, and flavorful--you can tell they put care into their dough. We're saving the rest of the treats for our kids (trying to be good parents... for now), but we'll definitely be back for more. If you haven't been in a while, now's the perfect time to stop by and treat yourself. La Concha's still got it--just with a fresh new look! We will def be back to try more!

This is my second time coming here. I absolutely love it! All the sweet bread tastes amazing! The cakes are light and flavorful. Their empanadas are good. I would make the hour drive back here to get this sweet bread

Saw this bakery on TikTok and thought I would give it a try while I was in town. I went in earlier, so they had a lot of options. I bought a couple of vanilla concha's, some empanadas, donuts and a cortadillo. The empanadas were amazing! I do admit I don't eat those too often, but these had great crust and the filling was just the right sweetness. They were a little deflated, but I personally don't need a lot of filling. The flavors I got were Lemon, pineapple and guava. The lemon was my favorite. The donuts are average. The texture was a little dry and the icing is easy to melt and come off. The conchas were so tasty. The texture was nice and soft and the top was a nice added little sweet flavor to compliment the bread. My favorite was the cortadillo! All the cortadillos I have had in my life were always dry and the top layer hardly had flavor. This one was everything the others never could be. The breading was nice and soft. The top white icing had a nice sweetness, but not over sugary. I could use a little less bread, but I feel that's my personal preference. So this one was close to perfection. As for service, well it's not great, but it also isn't terrible. I feel like I probably would have to be a regular to get a positive vibe from them. This isn't going to deter me from going back again.

**A Hidden Gem in Chula Vista - La Concha Bakery** La Concha Bakery on East Street in downtown Chula Vista is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves baked goods. I've never come across another bakery quite like this one--it's truly unique in both its selection and experience. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice a charming setup that makes choosing your treats a fun and interactive experience. At the entrance, there's a table filled with tongs and trays--grab one, then take your time browsing the impressive selection of baked goods. Their offerings lean heavily toward traditional Mexican pastries, but they also have familiar American favorites like donuts. What really makes this place stand out, though, are the unique and hard-to-find items that you won't see at just any bakery. The prices are extremely reasonable, with most items costing no more than a few dollars. At the front, there's also a fridge stocked with larger cakes, cheesecakes, and individually sized desserts. If you're in the mood for something savory, don't miss their empanada-style baked goods--flaky, buttery, and filled with delicious options like chicken, beef, and jalapeño cream cheese. They do offer coffee, though I found it to be just okay. But honestly, the baked goods are the real stars here. One important thing to note: **there is no dine-in area**. There are no café tables or seating, so everything here is strictly to-go. If you're planning to enjoy your treats right away, you might want to find a nearby park or a cozy spot to sit elsewhere. The bakery itself is clean, bright, and welcoming, with a vibrant mural on the side of the building adding to its charm. The counter staff is incredibly friendly, efficiently boxing up your selections when you're ready to check out. Parking can be tricky. There are a few spots right in front, but since the bakery is right off a busy street, pulling in and out can be a challenge--so be cautious. If it's peak hours, you might need to find parking in the nearby residential area. Also, while the bakery is wheelchair accessible, it is not pet-friendly. All in all, La Concha Bakery is an absolute gem. If you're anywhere near downtown Chula Vista, this spot is *not* to be missed. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, you'll leave with a box full of delicious, one-of-a-kind treats.

Excellent! The moment I walked in I realized I was not as the usual Panderia. Oh No No No...this is next level! The selection of the quality is amazing! They have bakers throughout their business hours rotating fresh baked yumminess all day! The level of quality selection and execution of bake is amazing. The shop is super cute. The staff is super friendly just a gem.! I had a huge order for a birthday party Valentine's Day weekend. It was beautiful!

Concha and Champurrado (large size) $7.30

Josue P.

Store looks clean, easy parking, and they greet you with a welcome. Champurrado was not that good but not bad Pan dulce was good Average prices across the board. I come here because the bread is fresh and they have good variety. Very good customer service.

Jack M.

This is a great Mexican bakery, which I discovered simply by driving down E Street. I picked up a couple of Mexican Croissants, also known as cuernitos, and a "nuez" pan dulce. The butter croissants were $1.60 each, and so was the nuez. Both breads were terrific. I had both croissants at room temperature, and their texture and flavors were very good. The nuez I heated in my convection oven, and it was outstanding. It tasted great. I really liked the variety of Mexican sweet breads this bakery offers. They also offer hot savory empanadas. The place was very clean when I visited, and the ladies at the counter were super sweet. I will be back for sure!

Three layer vanilla cake with mango frosting with a slice cut out. Decorated on top with strawberries and a happy birthday message in pink.

Delicious fresh Mexican sweet and savory bakery. Our family faves are the vanilla muffin (mantecada), Palmier (oreja), "elote" which is a delicious and scrumptious bread covered in sugar, there's one with a yellow center that has the texture of a concha top, bolillo you can never go wrong with it! Crispy outer crust and soft buttery inside, perfect for your "tortas" or simply with some butter spread inside. They also have a giant bolillo! Their champurrado is delicious and seasonal. On this visit we ordered a small rosca de Reyes aka Kings cake for the Epiphany on January 6th, the texture, flavor and size was pure perfection. Pricing was on point for straight from the bakery and they went the extra mile of packaging it securely so I could place in my luggage and fly back home. I couldn't believe it was intact when we opened it at home. Evelyn was friendly and patient in explaining the options for our rosca, with filling or without. read more

I like the traditional Mexican pastries. And this Bakery caters to that taste. The food is displayed in a very nice easy accessible box windows. Everything and the place is very clean. I would suggest that the two-day-old pastries be sold at a reduced price. Because I do not have their freshness taste anymore. But some people aren't concerned about freshness as I am. But then that would ensure that all of the pieces inside of the pastry boxes are fresh tasting. read more

Ayyyyye! I finally live in a city with a panaderia! Maybe such a notion is preposterous down here, but it was usually a bit of a drive for me to find a good panaderia in The Bay. Don't even get me started on NH. Felt like there was only one in the whole dame state... So having La Concha in the same city is absolutely glorious! ___F O O D___ My girlfriend Christina C. and I went a little overboard with our pan dulce order, but we were understandably excited. We liked EVERYTHING! So tasty. So fresh. My favorite purchase was the besos - two cookies stuck together with strawberry jam and covered in coconut. I could taste the berries, the cookies, and the coconut individually. Honorable Mentions: Cono, vanilla and chocolate conchas, beef empanada. All were solid. The cono (Danish dough filled with Bavarian cream) was probably best out of this bunch. Delicious Bavarian cream. I enjoyed the pastry's texture. Last place: Cherry empanada. It didn't suck. Just not my favorite of the bunch. I was hoping for more cherry flavor, more filling, and a better texture from the pastry. ___S E R V I C E___ Service was helpful and friendly. They were fairly efficient too. Thanks for being so patient when we couldn't make up my mind. ___E X T R A S___ -They open at 6am everyday! Kudos to them. If I ever wanted conchas and coffee before work, I'll know where to go. -Limited parking in the lot. Metered street parking is available. No parking payments on Sunday or holidays. -COVID precautions. I don't recall masks being necessary, but they limited customers to four at a time. -They do not accept EBT. I am elated to have access to this bakery and will happily return soon for some pan dulce! read more

It's been months since I stopped by here due to the location being remodeled. The main area has yet to be ready for operation. You have to head to the side area by the mobile phone service store to enter. The staff is friendly and are good with keeping everything sanitary. I give it 3 stars because the pistachios cake taste undercook, soggy, and no flavor very disappointing because I would order this cake in the past prior to the location closing for remodeling. The bread went up to $1.60 a piece and was ok flavor. Overall not the best experience might consider giving it 1 more chance at another time. read more

I've been coming here on and off for many years for conchas and coffee. But I recently asked Claudia if she made wedding cakes, and she made my fiancée and me a stunner! Ours was a two-tier white cake with raspberry filling, with fondant & piping on the outside. Claudia was great at taking our half-formed ideas and creating a beautiful design from them. The cake was delivered on time and in excellent condition to our reception dinner venue. Our guests loved it, and we can't wait until next year to defrost the top-tier and enjoy it on our first anniversary. Thank you Claudia! read more

Pros: Delicious baked goods. Their food tastes fresh. Two customers in the lobby at one time. When this threshold is overlooked by additional customers, the staff offers a friendly reminder. They take Apple Pay and other common forms of payment including cash and credit cards. They have a tall window at checkout to reduce the exchange of air molecules. Masks are required.* Can watch the area where food is baked from window. *Cons: While enjoying my baked goods outside from my parked vehicle and enjoying the view of the food being taken in and out of the oven, I was disappointed to see one staff member amongst other staff members and baked goods not wearing his mask correctly (as in only over mouth and not over nose). A second staff member was also on the brink of this practice too with his mask barely over his nostrils. My experience went from appreciative of what seemed like the running of a tight ship to disappointment when seeing that this was only the case for the front facing part of the business. read more

None of them even remotely came close to the flavor and visual appeal of Babycakes. The cake is the main dish of any birthday party and boy did they knock it out of the park, exceeding my expectations - especially at such an affordable price. Lots of ooohs and ahhhs were heard when we brought out this delicious showstopper. People are still talking about it weeks later!!!

They were all great. The center of the cupcakes were creamy and delicious! My friend ordered the sampler to see which flavor she wants to order for her wedding cake and I was lucky enough to join the tasting! The blood orange, lemon Bavarian, and marble bianca were the top 3. All were yummy in their own way. Least favorite was the classic wedding cake because the others were all so unique and flavorful. Can't wait to try the wedding cake in a couple months!

Just had a very bad experience with a young man who is supposed to be in charge!!!!!?? I was trying to park in front in order to go in and purchase some bakery goods. A drunk transient was passed out on his wheel chair and his bottle of liquor all over the parking lot effectively taking over 2 parking spots !!! It was in such an awkward angle that I could have hit him with my car. In the meantime this worker never made any effort to help me. When I finally parked the car on the other side; I went in and I understand it is a Mexican bakery but all kinds of people from various ethnicities shop there. I have been going there for a long time. I have told this guy that I am NOT Hispanic he still keeps talking Spanish to me ???? So I had to stop him for the hundred time and tell him to speak English. Well he did not like that ??Furthermore when I told him about the situation in the parking lot ,he yelled out that it is all right with him. I asked him again are you sure he said yes to my astonishment !!!!!!! Today I mentioned the incident to the owner, she did not seem to want to take action in order to correct behavior ? No apologies were offered. Two thumbs down for this establishment. read more

Nothing bad about the bakery really itself. BUT the EMPLOYEES themselves are the worst to work with! I pulled into the parking lot and THIS random guy from the bakery comes running up my car telling me I can't park there! When first, he did not know what the hell I was doing there in the first place! He didn't know if I was going into the bakery shop. Or parking in front of the business next door. Tells me I need to move and as I'm trying to drive away instead, he attempts to BLOCK my vehicle with a metro PCS stand!!! I push it away with my vehicle, I STILL park there and decides to pull his phone out and take pictures of my vehicle for NO APPARENT reason! Now he gets into a verbal altercation with my husband threatening to call the police because I pulled into the parking lot to PARK MY CAR to walk into the appropriate business!! He becomes a threat now, only because I also had a 2 year old DAUGHTER in the car! Who knows if he's a child molester or not! BUT NEVER WILL I EVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO TO THIS BUSINESS SPECIFICALLY DUE TO THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE WORKING FOR THEM! AND ON TOP OF THAT TO BE HARASSED THIS WAY FOR PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT TO PARK MY VEHICLE! UNACCEPTABLE! read more

For those in pursuit of genuine Mexican baked goods, this establishment stands out as a prime destination. The selection of breads and pastries is not only extensive but also boasts an exceptional standard of flavor and quality. The staff consistently provides a warm and hospitable atmosphere, enhancing the overall customer experience. Additionally, the bakery features striking mural art on its exterior, which has become a popular backdrop for photographs, adding to its charm and appeal. Numerous referrals to this bakery have resulted in glowing feedback, affirming its reputation for excellence. I am confident that any new patrons will share in this sentiment and find much to appreciate at this fine bakery. read more
