I drove by this place for years without realizing what I was missing out on. It's not really attention-grabbing from the street but this unassuming little store is a wonderland of delicious and freshly-baked pastries, donuts, and pan dulces. The selection is large and everything is delicious. The flavors are addicting and I love that they're not super sweet, as so many things tend to be. I also love that they're open fairly late so I can grab something on the way home from work or after a massage from D'Vida, which is right around the corner, or just whenever I'm getting a craving after dinner. It's not a fancy place but it has all the most important things (quality, freshness, variety, affordability, and friendly staff). I just love this place. read more

Really bad customer service from the cashier and the cake was so disgusting really disappointed the tres leches cake was so dry . Really not recommend this place read more

This place looks amazing for tres leches cakes for sure. Pan Dulce eh not my favorite.

Just wanted to share a bad experience with this place. This morning I went to La Espiga Dorada Bakery to pick up some canned beans and cream for breakfast. When I got home I started cooking the beans and noticed there was a foul smell. I proceeded to cook the beans and I was making the rest of our breakfast when I noticed they started smelling more. I honestly thought I was going crazy so I tasted them and OMG it was horrible. It tasted like sour milk. At this point I'm upset because I've spent $12.00 on literally 2 items ($6.50 for the canned beans and $5.50 for the cream). I'm not one to complain, I would've let this go but I'm out $6.50 for CANNED BEANS and my kids were looking forward to this. So I call the bakery and explain the situation, tell them exactly how it happened and I asked if I could have a refund or get a new can. They asked if they were expired and I said no (see pic) and the lady puts me on hold. She comes back and said her boss told her they can't do anything about it because I already cooked them and I should've taken them in as soon as I noticed something. I explain again that when I opened the can they looked fine, it wasn't until I started cooking them that I noticed the smell. She placed me on hold again, this time for almost 5 minutes and said that I can only get a partial refund and said I should've taken them, AGAIN. I told her I still have the can, the beans are still in the pot, I can take them like that if they want, at this point I just want my money back. Plus, what's the point of me taking them back after I opened them, were they just gonna put it back on the shelf?! Anyway, she puts me on hold again, comes back and tells me the same thing and said her boss told her that winco, Fred Meyer, and Walmart would've done the same thing (?!??!?!!!) I asked to speak with her boss she said she's not available and that I can't!! After a bunch of back and forth she finally agreed to give me a refund. I'm just so upset that I had to go through all this, get riled up, just to get my $6.50 for a can of rotten beans. This should've been handled better. We literally just spent over $30 on their bread this week for thanksgiving and this is how they treat their customers?! I won't be going back here after this experience. read more

I recently ordered a three leches cake from, and it was an absolute delight! the taste and quality of the cake completely stole the show. The three leches were perfectly moist, and each bite was a heavenly experience. The combination of flavors was superb, and the texture was just right. The fact that they utilized Amazon for the toppers didn't compromise the overall deliciousness of the cake. It's clear that prioritizes the quality of their baked goods, making this a memorable treat. I ordered the cake 2 days before and the service was above and beyond highly recommend trying their three leches cake; it's a true testament to their baking expertise! PS. The cake topper was from amazon but you can have them design it :) read more

La Espiga Dorada - Bakeries Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This bakery is located on the block of TV Hwy and 185th, i passed it many times and didn't think much of it. Finally i decided to check it out and i was amazed! When you enter, you'll be greeted by shelves of freshly bake pastries, cookies and cakes! They all looked beautifully delicious, and there were so many selections. I was so excited that I tried to grab one of each, only to realized the tray (and my stomach) wasn't big enough... I left with a bunch goodies, and my favorites were the conchas breads (so soft and moist), guava coconut cake (the softness of the cake and the favor was amazing), and the apple pie (the crust was so flaky and crunchy). I also like their donuts, too. They are fresh and not too sweet. Overall, if you like pastries and haven't check this place out. You should pay a visit soon. You'll be pleasantly surprised by its selection and reason read more

Tres leches cake with Peaches and Strawberries was a hit! I wish I would have taken a picture it was a very pretty cake for my daughter's 4th birthday. There were no slices left at her party. The ratio of milks to cake was perfect. I just stumbled upon this place and it's a gem. I look forward to visiting in the future for more sweet (but not too sweet) treats and ordering more birthday cakes from here. Staff is warm hearted and very accommodating read more

I moved here from California and this is the best pan dulce I've been able to find up here. Even my mom agrees so you know it's good! I went around 11am and they still had a large selection, I think they continuously bake because when I was there more pan was brought out. The size of their concha's are big enough for 2! Friendly staff, cash is preferred, gracias a todo! I'll be back:) read more

Although the prices can't beat Mexico, this was an awesome find on Yelp that we will definitely be frequenting in the future. Even though we showed up in the evening, there were still plenty of conchas and other goodies available. The selection was not as diverse, as many of the trays were empty, but there was still a good amount of choice despite the time of day that we went. Although the prices are not listed, it came to be about $1.00-1.50 per bread, because we purchased four items and the total was around $6.00. All of the breads that we tried were delicious and were very big. They also sell numerous Mexican snacks and desserts which we did not have the opportunity to get, but it's good to know that they have Mexican hot chocolate tablets so we can put our molinillo to good use! read more

I bought their pineapple strawberry tres leches cake and it was amazing!!! Everyone in party loved it. They also have freshly baked conchas and other bread. When you walk in the place, it smells so good that you just want to buy & eat everything! read more

I tried one of the rolls--I don't know what it's called, but it has a cinnamon crust on top. The roll tasted weird, it was either stale or wasn't baked with enough salt, very flavorless. read more

Beautiful and delicious cake! The woman I spoke with on the phone was very patient and helpful. I got a tres leches birthday cake with strawberries and pecans, so amazing!! One little thing, I asked for a name to be written on the cake even though I had gone over the name twice, the name on the cake was misspelled. No worries, I was able to fix it , but overall I will be purchasing more cakes from here. Keep up the great and delicious work! read more

Best pan dulce around so far , the flan was not that great just ok it had no caramel juices what so ever so it made it kind of a pastey taste and I'm from East LA Cali so I'm still looking for that bomb flan ! read more

Bread of life....this place is the only place where to get Mexican bread and cakes. It's fresh all the time and they have everything you would like from some premade cakes or some smaller portions to take home if you want only a slice. They have non sugary bread and they have very nice Mexicans sweet favorites too. Along with that they have a special bread with filled cream cheese; and for ones that have a need for heat with cream cheese and jalapeño. I have order my daughter 3 milk cake and done with chocolate; I couldn't help getting praises from it. Totally worth it, it was finish and no left over... As far as service they are nice and try their best to help you out ...even if you're like me and no Spanish . The store is small and clean and has very little Mexican products but bread is all you need . CAUTION: A word to wise ! don't expect to get bread towards the end of the day.... Cause there won't be any!!!! They always run out ... IT IS THAT GOOD!!!! read more

3. 5 stars: Small store with two aisles of food and a section of freshly baked goods that tasted fresh. I don't like the $5.00 credit and debit card minimum purchase because they prefer cash which I don't carry. I also do not like the minimum special order of two dozen for special orders. I think they could also be friendlier because I wasn't greeted when I approached the register. There's only one active register too so the line was long. I like that they have a parking lot even if it is small. I don't like the dangerous intersection it is located at though because I have seen lots of wrecks there. read more

La Espiga Dorada - Just a little sample of their delicious offerings - Bakeries Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Amazing Pan Dulce. Concha's are the best in Portland. Highly recommend the drive here for the bread.

Absolutely delicious panadería bread! So far out of three panaderías I've tried west of the river, I finally found the best one, very similar to California and even Mexican panaderías. They also make beautiful and affordable custom cakes. Will give them a try for my daughter 2nd birthday. I got the bolillo bread today (Saturday) and it was fresh and delicious, I made homemade carnitas tortas, so yummy!!! read more

Wonderful selection of made fresh daily pastries of many different types. Panuelos are excellent. They do sell out so go early.

La Espiga Dorada offers exceptional pan from this crowd-pleasing bakery. The selection, freshness, and quantities available set this panaderia ahead of the competition. My one concern is in how the staff interacts with the non-Spanish speaking customer. The aloof tendency is off-putting. The English spoken by the counter staff is superb, yet I have encountered this cold profile one time too many. It might come as a surprise to learn I am Mestizo. At the same time, my command of the Spanish language is lacking. I understand more than I can speak. Customer service should rise to a level comparable to the excellent pan quality. Please keep in mind that a light-skinned mestizo is a Mexican, too, regardless of language or birthplace. Viva La Raza. Peace out. - daFigz™ read more

Cool place. Low key store. Pastries seemed fresh, tasted great and were very reasonably priced. Some of the pastries are huge! I recommend and will probably end up there again. I found some chips there as well called "Sabritones" which I also recommend btw. One somewhat different thing about the place is that you pick up stuff you want and then get billed at the counter, as opposed to other donut stores where u go straight to the counter. read more

If you want a general idea of the place, Mr. Brooks did a great job in his review. I just really wanted to chime in and mention that the quality of this place, the price, and the taste.. is probably the best compared to any other Mexican sweet bread bakery I've tried. (Su Casa Imports, Yesenia's, Mercado Mexico, La Cabana etc) They constantly bring out fresh baked goodness throughout the day and varying from day to day might even have a few different selections to choose from. I recommend trying a slice of Tres Leches cake they keep in the fridge. I think it's $3 for a good sized slice. :) read more

So CHEAP and So many options!!! We came here for a quick grab and go dessert. When you walk in on the left hand side there are a bunch of different bakery goods. You grab a tongs near the cashier and a metal tray and help yourself. A lot of the desserts don't have names tags next to them or price tags. I asked one of the staff members and she said she didn't know what each pastry was but everything taste good. So we grabbed at least 8 different things (medium to large items) and our total came out to $14. On the right side it looks like there is a small grocery store and they have several mexican candies... Pica Fresca being my fave! read more

La Espiga Dorada - Tres Leches cake - Bakeries Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I don't make it here as much as I used to, which is unfortunate (for me) because I have very fond memories of my aunties and relatives coming home with fresh baked goods from here. But I try not to stay away for long, because the prices have always been reasonable, the pastries and breads are huge in size, and the taste is always spot on. Even when I lived in Gresham for a few years, and we have a lot of options out that way, I'd still make it a point to drive across the river to come here. The churros are really good and really cheap here. Choco-flan from here has been my birthday cake on more than a few occasions. Cake trays can be a tad bit pricey, so if I had one criticism that would be it. But the taste is always top notch, so you get your money's worth. One of her best things - they're usually open later as well, so you can swing by after dinner if you're too lazy to cook dessert. read more

¡Riquísimo! When the bread is fresh, it's delicious! I end up getting carried away and buying bread for other people as well lol When it's not fresh, I throw a mini tantrum (on the inside) and leave empty handed. Thankfully though, that rarely happens! The location is great if you live in the Beaverton area because it's closer than other panaderías in Hillsboro. read more

La Espiga Dorada - Mm mm... So soft, warm and sweet! - Bakeries Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Omg best Flan! I can never decide between flan and the flan with chocolate cake so I usually end up with both.

Location is easy to get to. Private parking lot, which is nice. They've got a generic "Mexican" selection of other things besides their Panaderia goodies. I came specifically for the tres leches cake. Nothing to exciting, but it was nice that it wasn't ridiculously sweet. $3.50 for the size wasn't too bad. Don't expect exemplary customer service. I nearly stood in front of the register waiting for the teen to get off of her phone to ring me out. read more

Love this little gem! They have a much larger assortment of baked goods than one would expect from driving by. There's a huge variety of various Mexican pastries as well as the type of donuts you'd expect to find in any donut shop. Loved the variety and the prices are very low. read more

What a gem! I saw an article on this place online and had to go try it. We bicycled 4 miles to get there, chained up to a tree in the parking lot and peeked into the questionable looking establishment. My worries were most unfounded. As other reviewers have mentioned, it can be a little overwhelming when you first go in. I asked the cheerful person behind the counter for some help as was on my way to getting some of the best baked goods in town! All you do is grab a tray, some tongs, and anything that looks good. Take it up to the counter and they bag it up for you. If you have questions, ask! Everyone was super nice. The bakers were bringing out fresh hot french rolls as we were making our selections. They were excellent. We found two big bags worth of pastries to take home and barely broke $5 (with a bottle of water included). The Conchas (a Mexican sweet bread traditionally served for breakfast) were AMAZING. We tried vanilla and chocolate. They were sweet, tender, warm from the oven, and wonderful with coffee. The french bread was wonderful and will keep us coming back for more. We also tried what was described to us as "just bread with chocolate on it". Wow, what an undersell. It tasted like pound cake and was rich and delicious. The whole family enjoyed it. Everything we tasted was amazing, fresh, and authentic. We were encouraged to try new things, taste something if we had questions and take a load off and eat something before we left. I can't recommend this place enough. What it lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in quality, value, service, and adventure. I am looking forward to going again as soon as possible so we can try new baked goods that we have never had before. It is more than worth riding 8 miles round trip to get to, even in the rain. Do yourself a favor and go today! read more

I finally checked this place out based on Yelp reviews. I had never tried Mexican baked goods before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I certainly hoped it was decent. - Service: the lone girl at the store wasn't friendly, nor was she helpful at all. I soon realized she was very nice to spanish-speaking clientele. Oookay. - Store: I walked in thinking it was a bakery, but turned out the baked goods occupied less than h alf of the store and the rest is all mexican knick knacks. - Food: not surprisingly I had no idea what 90% of baked items I was looking at. Bought 6-7 goodies solely based on their looks. They were dirt cheap (including a flan I bought, the total was only $7.50) I had a high expectation of churros, but sadly it was the worst churro I've ever had (was able to eat only 2 bites of it). A couple of the stuff I bought was light and not too sweet (will post the pics later), but the rest of my purchase was a total disaster; they were dense and tasted... well, let's just say I grew up eating French baked goods and eating these today made me realize you do get what you pay for. What's the point of a cheap price if the most of the stuff end up in the trash can? Definitely not for me. I'll be going back to my regular (French) bakery. read more

One of the best conchas I've ever had in Portland. This is my favorite Mexican bakery. They really excel in their bread and the flaky pastires. For the cake they are average. I've only tried a few other places but this place takes the cake. Concha: Soft eggy warm bread with not too sweet topping. My favorite is the vanilla. I like to choose the items on the racks very tasty. Very cheap for the giant bun of goodness you get less than a dollar. Oreja: I love their butterfly cookies too. I'm always on the lookout when they dip them in chocolate. Nice, crunchy and buttery Cheesecake (Pay de queso): I had a cheesecake craving one day and decided Cheesecake factory was way too far of a drive. The Cheesecake here isn't exactly like cream cheese, not sweet and very dense. I kinda like it, satisfied my cheesecake craving for less than a dollar. Ojo De Buey: I honestly prefer Cinco 5 Mayo's version. The cake wasn't very good. Neapolian: Very tasty filled with cream and fruit between the layers. Nice light snack. Cream Horn: One of my favorites they have two versions. Custard filled or cream filled. I always pick the custard filled version. Jalapeno Bread: Huge piece of bread of their crunchy baked goodness stuffed with cream cheese and jalapenos. Great for two meals for less for than $2 read more

My friend, he is Mexican-American. One day he gave me tasted something he said it was a Mexican bakery, I could not remember what it's called, but it was so good! He gave me the direction, and yesterday I drove to this place. There were varieties of pastries. I picked 7 pieces and also I bought some Mexican Ice-cream and some snacks..Bill totals!! $10.45 !!! so cheap cheap cheap and all I got were delicious ^-^ Absolutely go back read more

It was my first time at a Mexican bakery so I don't really have anything to compare to. I didn't know what most of the breads were so I asked the girl who was refilling the bread and she was really unfriendly unwilling to tell me what things were. I don't believe it was because her English was bad because she seemed to communicate fine when I was checking out. Nothing had labels and prices so it was really hard to know what I got but I ended up picking a couple colorful different breads. From my picture, my favorite item was the one on the bottom. It's a large slice of fluffy bread topped with whipped cream and chocolate powder. My second favorite is the middle left one which was a cinnamon flavored bread with cinnamon paste in the middle. Breads were good and I'd drop by again next time I'm in the area. I wish the people who worked there were nicer but looks like they have really good business with lots is customers coming in while I was there so perhaps they don't care too much to impress everyone. read more

Ok, I seriously died and went to Panaderia heaven. one of the best selections of Mexican pastries I've seen in the Portland area, on par with Tienda de la Guadalupe in Gresham and the freshest tasting too (got there when the pastries were fresh out of the oven so I lucked out) grab a stainless steel baking pan, a pair of tongs and load up on all this carb-lard goodness. Ring er up at the counter and you're set! prices are around $1 for each item with cake like items costing $1.50. I just load up on the crispy/flakey puff pastries. Wish I knew what was what aside from the few obvious stuff (churros, palmiers, and eclair-boston cream donut) but be adventurous and grab whatever. Will be back! (The place must be pretty famous to the locals cuz I saw lots of non-Hispanic folks dropping in to pick up a few pastries) read more
