While the flavor was there, the texture was off; it lacked moisture. With a cupcake titled "pudding," you would expect some cream in the middle or at least extra moisture.

Everything I tried was absolutely delicious! The staff were so helpful in explaining how things worked when I told them it was my first time there.

On the way back from our beach weekend we came into this location in Fuquay-Varina (pronounced Foo-guay Var-een-A) for those of you outside the area or transplants. We got a sandwich, a pastry, a couple of sodas and some bread to take home...the sandwich and pastry were both great. Prices are good and the service is friendly. Buy local....eat local...y'all.

They have cold sandwiches you can buy so that's what my husband did. He got the prosciutto mozzarella sandwich, and it was cold, but it was still delicious to me when I tried it. I got the custard-filled morning roll or muffin. I forgot what it was actually called, but it was filled with vanilla cream. Even though it was huge, I almost wanted to eat two of these. So delicious!

I can only speak for the pan dulce, but at this point I'm pretty sure I'm the designated weekly…read moregringo who shows up, grabs a tray and tongs, and buys enough conchas and pan dulce to suggest I'm feeding a much larger household. Nope. Mostly just me and my morning coffee. I feel incredibly lucky to have Panadería Pahuatlán this close to home. It's about as authentic as it gets. I'm honestly not sure anyone here really speaks English, and that's perfectly fine with me. I walk in, grab my tray and tongs, load it up, pay, say "gracias," and leave with a bag full of happiness. It feels like I briefly left Raleigh and wandered into a neighborhood panadería in CDMX. PRO TIP: Come on Sunday. That's when I've found the conchas and other pan dulce to be ridiculously fresh. Grab the tray, lose all sense of portion control, and worry about the consequences later. And don't let some of the ancient reviews scare you. I'm here basically every week. If bugs were running a side business out of the pastry cases or the bread sucked, I promise you I would not keep voluntarily returning like some sort of concha-addicted homing pigeon. Fantastic pan dulce, wonderfully authentic neighborhood bakery, and one of my favorite little hidden gems in Raleigh. Now please start delivering so I can make increasingly irresponsible pan dulce purchases without even having to put on shoes.

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars (if Yelp allowed)…read more Service/Ambiance (5 stars): Super friendly people. Love the exposed brick and the decor gives it a nice city vibe in this small town. Food (3 stars): We tried the sticky bun, cinnamon bun with icing and a cheese danish. The icing on the cinnamon roll was the best part. Both buns were more on the dry/bread-like side and I prefer a soft/gooey-middle bun. The cheese danish was our least favorite. I think all of the pastries would have been better warmed, so I would recommend taking your baked goods home and microwaving before eating. Coffee (2.5 stars): As recommended by another Yelper, get coffee at a nearby coffee shop. I had a hot vanilla latte (not good) and my husband had the crème brûlée latte (better, can't really taste the coffee).

Paris was amazing, she gave me the run down of some of their most popular menu items. I ordered the Union Special Breakfast Sandwich , a Honey Lavender Latte & a Twice Baked Pecan Croissant. Everything was absolutely delicious. It's hard to find a really great lavender latter, but no longer, it was perfect. The croissant was like nothing I've ever tasted, every bite amazing. The Union Special was definitely that. It's a scrambled egg, fontina cheese, hash brown & romesco (roasted red pepper hummus) sandwiched between their spectacular freshly made brioche bun. So many people were coming in shortly after I arrived. I sat and worked there for about an hour and a half and it was pretty steady!!! There's maybe 5 tables inside, with a really long high top bar up against the window with seating for about 10 - 12 people. There's also several tables outside on their patio. I love that their bakery is visible through a window, they do some amazing work in there! I'll definitely be back.

Food: Was yummy! I got the Chai Latte iced. It was perfectly spiced and not watered down. The…read morespiced were well strained or finely ground, so there was no gritty taste or overly spices settling to the bottom. It was smooth and creamy. The Strawberry Danish was good as well. Flaky croissant twist with savory sweet cream and sweet fresh strawberries in the middle. Only con would be to have a more filling of the cream and strawberries compared to the croissant twist. But still good to have as a quick breakfast or snack for later. I also got the chicken sandwich too! Would highly recommend that. You get a fried chicken cutlet topped with melted American cheese, on a bed of shredded lettuce and cucumber. It came out piping hot. It was crispy, crunchy, savory, but with the fresh veggies it gave it a slight freshness to it as well. It was well balanced. Ambiance: it's a great brunch place and quiet for just doing some work as well. I wouldn't say it's a study place or office/bookish place as it is a bit echo-y and the seating is not soft and comfy. But for a quick bite and brunch during a work lunch break, this is your spot. Maybe a great place for first casual day date! Lol Service: everyone was friendly and service was quick. You order and the counter, they give you a number and bring your food to you. Overall no problems or concerns! Overall I would go there again if I'm in the area. The location is a bit out of my way and can be difficult to navigate if it's your first time. The roads rear off to another many times. So be sure to keep and eye on the road and the signs. The hours of operation was a bit hard for me as I tried to get there before my work at 8am but they don't open till 8am and then they close right before business hours end as well so had to get there before 3pm too. So I can see why they may be a quiet place most of the time. But if you get there and go the food and drinks are good.

The shop was very Clean, quiet, and had many types of cinnamon rolls on display. They so sounded so good. I decided on the mimosa flavor and it did not disappoint! It was about the syst of my hand and loaded with the stuffy whipped topping, strawberry pieces, and orange chunk. The tops were being made fresh so it was a short wait of only about 8 minutes. The cinnamon roll prices start from about $8 and go up from there. They also have mini rolls, roll cakes, random nature's goods, and some juice drinks. They let me know they are a vegan bakery. I couldn't tell any difference from a vegan treat or non vegan, but I know good from not good, and this was good!
