This small bakery have one of the best tres leches cake I've ever had! $6 for a slice but it's so moist and delicious! The sweetness is just perfect. I also got what looks like a vanilla-chocolate sponge bread and it's also delicious! The bolillo bread are great too. They are a bit pricey compared with other panderia but not a huge difference. Service and staffs are nice and they have plenty of parking space. read more

First time visiting this bakery. I decided to swing by and check it out since I was in the area. Loved this small bakery as soon as I walked in. The lady working was very helpful and patient with me as I stood there trying to figure out what to buy. Everything looked good! I ended up walking out with 2 vanilla muffins, and a couple Mexican pastries that were shaped like turtles. Super cute! Delicious too! Can't wait to come back! read more

I came here on Jan 26, 2023 at about 9 pm. There was one lady there. I ordered three pieces of pan. The lady charged me $7.00. I have never been charged so much here. I think she's charging extra and keeping the money. I only paid because in the moment I didn't wanna question it. I definitely should've tho! This business should have prices, or at least an honest staff. I feel ripped off! I will definitely be going elsewhere. read more

La Manzana Bakery - Empanada, muffin and one more - Bakeries Near Me - Watsonville, California

Think we found a bakery to hit up when in Watsonville. So let me be frank. I'm not a fan of the parking lot. It's a place you need to be patient. So many cars coming and going and people walking. Be careful. Now onto the bakery. Everything we ordered was good: chocolate chip cookies, cream cookie, butter & sugar bread and orejas (elephant ears) . I wanted to try more, but know my doctor would be mad at me. Like I said, next time I'll try other items. I brought cash with me. Can't recall if they accept credit? read more

Everything fresh. Lots to choose from. Lady that helped us was very friendly and helpful.

Bite size , kid size breads so disappointing and they sold us dry crusty bread . Should've thrown old bread away instead lost our business for good . read more

We stopped in late one evening and although there were no prices posted, figured we'd spend a few bucks on just 2 items. We got one cookie and one concha and the lady charged us $5. Wasn't sure why it was so expensive but we paid and decided we'd never be back. read more

Every time we're in town we head to La Manzana. It has the absolute best guava empanadas, prices are a little steep but so worth it!

The absolute best Mexican pastry shop ever! I have been here several times over the past 11 years, but since I moved to the Bay Area, I have not been able to find anything that even compares to their pastries. I usually get the pink and tan colored croissant looking things (I think in Spanish they are called coronitas, but I could be wrong). Their pastries are fresh throughout the day, not just once during the am rush, so anytime you visit you can get fresh pastries. The prices are very reasonable, ranging from $0.50 to $0.70 per item, but the rolls of bread (boleros?) are usually much cheaper ($0.20). read more

Came here towards the end of the day and goodness, the conchas were super soft and the way they're supposed to be!!! This is probably my new favorite pañaderia in all of Santa Cruz County. read more

Have been to quite a few panaderías in Watsonville, and who would have known making sweet bread would be so difficult. This one, however, is one of the exceptions. The bread is good (usually tastes fresh) and the owner is courteous. read more

I went there and i wanted to try one of their bread so i ask if i can sample it. The lady who was helping me told me she was going to ask, so she went to the back and asked. When i was waiting i heard someone yelling.." we dont give out samples" she came back she told me that she was told that they don't give out samples. I told her that i heard that. I think that was very inappropriate, unprofessional and poor customer service. I can tell they are loosing business because of their expensive bread and poor customer service! read more

La Manzana has great bread that is made there every morning and afternoon. It's a family business which to me is a great thing. They are located in Watsonville near La Princessa Market. If you are in Watsonville,CA I would recommend going to la Manzana for some nice warm bread. read more

I used to like coming here! The bread is expensive now! And noticed the conchas have gotten smaller too! I do have to say they have some delish cochas. But i ordered an Atole and i saw the guy on the back double dipping with a spoon to test out the hotness or something after he had sipped it from the spoon. It was really gross! Do not order Atole or champurrado here!!!! There is now better places for bread & way cheaper! read more

It's a hot day in San Jose so we head over to Watsonville to get away from the heat. Watsonville was cold, misty and overcast. It was like a winter storm was brewing but I wasn't complaining. It was just odd since I was sporting a tank top and shorts. Since it felt like winter my mother in law decided to make some homemade Mexican chocolate. Yes there is a difference and not only because a Mexican person makes it. I prefer this hot choco over most others. The taste is different..I guess it's something you have to taste for yourself. Well we also needed pastries so this brings us to La Manzana ( The Apple). There is plenty of parking out front but don't expect a large bakery like the ones you find in San Jose. Still they have a great selection of typical Mexican pastries which are always a steal. Si no hablas espanol you may encounter some problems as the staff didn't speak English. I noticed they also had flan and arroz con leche (rice w/milk) but we didn't try those. We left with more than enough of a variety of pastries for cheap. This place is typical of what you'd expect a Mexican bakery to be. If the opportunity arises we will return. read more
