Avoid this place. The lady is rude and she miscounts your change in purpose to short change you. During COVID, you weren't able to select your bread hence they had it behind the counter l. You would order what you wanted and she would hand you old, and stale bread pieces. She would then not allow you to get a refund or exchange the bread for a fresh one which is what you originally went in for . Sucks this place has gone down in quality and customer service. There is also never any parking here. read more

I been going here since I was a kid for bread. Sadly, this place is not the same. Bread is old and moldy. The bread is no longer fresh. Stay away! read more

La Perla De Uruapan - Old bread - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, California

Love it here . My favorite is their desayuno sandwich and the avena. My husband loves the coffee de olla and the bolillo de chorizo con papa

Been going here since a kid been years since I been here now hopefully it's still as good as it was overall I rate this place 4/5

Oatmeal is amazing . It's not too sweet but if you like it sweeter maybe put your own spin on it and add the sweetener that you like. Overall the best oatmeal I've ever had. I will go back to try their breads as well. read more

La Perla De Uruapan - pan dulce - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, California

I have been here a few times. Their pan dulce (Sweet Bread that is typically eaten for breakfast) was the best in Wilmington for a long time but today i had something different. STUFFED BOLIOS all i have to say is WOW. you must try them! Bolio is a traditional Latin style bread roll. They're typically oval shaped, and when fresh, are incredibly soft. The flavor is similar to a french roll, its just much softer. We had the: Chorizo & Potato stuffed bolio- The potato was cooked perfectly and the chorizo had a little bit of a kick to it. That little bit of spice mixed with a little chew from the potato & chorizo mix all rolled up into that bread was delish. And at a $2 price point, it is worth a drive. Cream cheese & Jalapeno stuffed bolio Was heavenly. The creamy cheese with a tiny kick from the jalapeno made for a perfectly creamy breakfast bread. This one was also $2 read more

Had to stop in after I went to Montoyas and they had no Menudo! Must be good cause they sold out. But what a pleasant surprise it was, Menudo hot coffee and fresh bread! This took me back to old school mom and pop shops that I have not seen in so long! I felt like a kid in a candy store this place is off the beaten path so if you don't know ask someone about it. I found it by accident little old lady selling tamales put me hip to this place. There might be a line out the door but its worth the wait to take a peek inside even if you don't buy anything. I think this will be my new place just for the bread and coffee but wow what a great place it is! read more

La Perla De Uruapan - The front of the store - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, California

I hate to do this because I've been coming here since I was a kid and my abuelita was an avid customer since she came too Wilmington. My family comes basically every Sunday to grab our pan dulce for our cafesito. I sent a message through IG asking if they can do a last minute mini heart-shaped conchita order for the following day. I was inquiring because I knew it was very last minute. Messages were going back and forth with pauses in between as the person asked the baker if it was possible. I was told they could only make big heart-shaped conchas, being that these were for 5 year olds I didn't want them big so I asked if they could do mini unicorn conchitas. Person replies they already started making the heart-shaped conchas. I never once placed an order and was still asking questions. I made it clear to them I hadn't ordered and would like the unicorn conchitas. I even sent them a pic that they had posted on their IG. I wanted the same exact thing but 3 dozen. I placed the order and went to pick-up them up the next day. It appeared to be the younger daughter at the register. Off the bat she tells me she's giving me a $4 discount. Never in my 37 years coming here have I been given a discount, so I automatically thought something was up. I start to open up the white box with my order and sure enough they're the wrong color. Being that this was just for my child's class , the color difference wasn't a big deal to me. She then starts trying to explain to me they mixed-up the colors because it was SO last minute. Mind you she only told me this AFTER I started to look at them. My biggest problem was the actual concha. These were the flattest most over baked/burnt conchas I had ever seen at La Perla. They looked like burnt cookies with concha sugar on top, not even exaggerating. SO extremely disappointed. She then looks at me and with an attitude says "So do you want them or not?! That's all they could do since it was so last minute." I asked her if she was the one I spoke to on IG and she looked at me annoyed and said she had no idea because there are 3 people who manage it. Really?!! I told her "they" could have just told me they couldn't do it and I wouldn't have ordered. She had already charged me so I asked for my money back. I was and still am disappointed. The bad customer service was the worst part. Bad attitude won't get you customers. If you don't want to be there then get someone who has pride in their business and the history it holds. I've had great customer service from the other younger ladies, including little Perla herself. I've placed orders over IG before and haven had a problem. This one will def deter me from going. read more

Greatest stuffed bolios I've come across. I'm from Orange County and I drive all the way to Wilmington for these and it's worth it.

In all honesty, they make the BEST conchas! I haven't gotten anything else from here so I can't speak for everything but everything smells so delicious! Price is good too! Unfortunately there is ONE parking spot in front of the store. read more

Usually stop by this place for cafe de olla, which is amazing. Today I bought a bolillo with chorizo and papa. Two bites into my bolillo, something felt weird. Pulled this piece of string out of my mouth, which was in the bread. I don't know what the backroom looks like where they get everything ready, but if this is in my bread, I don't think I even want the coffee anymore. If you don't care about cleanliness, this is still a good coffee spot. read more

La Perla De Uruapan - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, California

REALLY good mexican Pan Dulce. A little pricier than most mexican bakeries. But the bread really does speak for its self. Its fresh, soft and always has a good selection. Unless you go right before they close you might only find the basics [conchas, orejas, short bread style cookies etc.] Plus it has a small market inside...buy your milk, coke, or cheese along with your bread. read more

I really hate to do this. Love supporting small businesses BUT I feel it's necessary to share my bad experience so that others don't go thru the same. I placed a special order for Saturday Sept.1 for my nieces Unicorn Party. I placed the order at least a month in advance & left 1/2 of it paid for. I asked for a pick up time of 11am. I showed up to the Bakery at 11:45 and my order was no where near done.. to be honest by the look on the guys face in the back, looked to me like they either forgot my order completely or accidentally put it out to sell (there were 3 unicorn conchas in the display case). Anyway, I was a little upset, the lady tried to give me some BS excuse about the bread not rising, not right outside temp,they put them out expecting certain temp, I dunno I don't speak baker. Would've been nice for someone to call me!! So she tells me, it's going to be another 2 hours and she'll call me as soon as they're done... 2:30 comes around, no phone call yet, so I called them. They lady told me she hadn't called cuz they were just boxing up my order and it should be ready by the time I got there... I showed up an hour later... half of my order still needed to be boxed up and counted.. God forbid they accidentally give me an extra concha for my inconvenience! So I finally got to pick up my order 4 hours later and I still had to pay my remaining balance. It wasn't much, $12 but that's not my point, the right thing to do would've been for the lady not to charge the balance seeing as my order was late and I had to make an extra trip. I barely got an apology from the lady at the very end. I guess she could tell I was upset. I tried not to be rude about it, I respect mom and pop shops BUT that was a little ridiculous. Luckily the party was in Wilmington so the conchas were still able to make it to the party. But if you're placing a special order PLEASE call the day before to confirm your order. read more

La Perla De Uruapan - The Conchas that almost didn't make it! - Bakeries Near Me - Wilmington, California

Highly recommend this place I live in Compton and I come all the way to the South Bay just to get some bomb bread really fresh and soft conchas and the café de olla is so good. I went today to get a Roscas Reyes bread and everyone love it. So soft and warms and filled with guava with cream cheese of extra cost but so worth it. I don't care about the drive. I will continue to drive and come to this family own bakery. Also very friendly staff almost forgot the jellos are so bomb. read more

This is THE SPOT. Best Mexican bakery in LA probably. This is as authentic as it gets. Everything's is warm and fresh out of the oven. Better get there early Fri-Sun or they just might sell out of everything you're craving! No but seriously, the best! The fact that they sell out often says it all. Don't worry about lines though, they're very quick. Even when the line is out the door you'll be in and out very quickly. My go to are the warm toasty and flakey croissants and let me tell you about their chorizo and papa bolillo... OMG. You won't regret it. Wish I could give a zillion stars. read more

I got 2 sweet empanadas and around 10 pieces of pan dulce for $9 even! the quality is the best around and once you try this you can't go back to anything else! very very friendly customer service and the softest sweet bread you'll ever try! amazing!! read more

Best spot for the freshest tastiest pan in Wilmington and dare I say in all of the South Bay! Now that's just my opinion but if your reading this isn't that what you're asking for? There is usually no shortage of pan and several kinds to choose from. The shortbread style cookies are my favorite. Just ask for a tray and load it up with whatever your craving and they will box it up for you. The coffee is flavorful and fresh as well as inexpensive and is a perfect compliment to any of their tasty treats. One minor drawback is it's located on a narrow residential street and parking is minimal at best. But it's not impossible. Support your local small businesses yo!!! read more

Best Mexican Bread, Always Fresh and love the bollio when its coming out of the oven so soft. They also have oatmeal in a cup to go the best when your driving to work. Bollio with jalapeno/cheese, beans&cheese jalapeno or Chorizo&Papas. Parking is a little hard but Its so worth it too park a block down and walk. Prices are great, customer service is fast and friendly. I took some bollio with jalapeno&cheese and my boss loved them he started driving outta of his way just to have some also. read more

I love this place....we have been ordering for work and personal gatherings from here for years. Now I even make it a habit to pick up for myself. I usually wait for someone to pick up for and now I go myself because I can't get enough of that Avena! It's hard to find parking but for this place I park down the block and walk haha it's worth it. read more

You want it, they've got it! La Perla, a hole in the wall, is filled with a variety of treats! I make almost a daily stop on my way to work. They have the tastiest coffee, and you can add canela.

Been coming here since a teen..best conchas and bedotes in town! ..oh and don't forget the piggys!! Lol

My grandparents first moved to Wilmington in the late 1920's. My grandmother bought her house on Denni St. in 1948. I don't know how long La Perla Bakery has been around, but I remember walking over and buying fresh Mexican bread in the 1960's. My grandmother's old house is still owned by our family and I was in town early one Saturday to clean the property. I haven't been in this neighborhood in 20 years. The first thing I smelled as I got out of my car was the scent of freshly baked bread coming from La Perla. I was wonderfully surprised that this small local bakery was still in business. My sister walked over and brought back two pastries and hot coffee. She mentioned seeing a sign for tortas. I went back several hours later to check them out (by then we had worked hard cleaning the house and were pretty hungry.) I ordered two $5 tortas. Move over Subway...these tortas were loaded with ham, lettuce, tomato, and avocado all on a freshly made bolillo. La Perla has quite a selection of Mexican bread to choose from. It also sells a few items one might find at a 7-11. Personally I thought the shop may do well as a local cafe, a place where locals can order a quick torta and drink and catch up with neighbors. But then again, this may encourage loiters and the neighborhood has had a problem with loitering in the past. Either way, I was delighted to see this bakery still in business and wish them well. read more
