    When entering you can smell the baking of the pastries. Love, love the welcoming. The ladies are always busy but it is well worth the wait. The red and green tamales are so delicious. The flour tortillas are handmade made and are hot off the rack. Don't leave without trying one. Keep on baking with ! I'll keep coming back.

    Delicious! I LOVE that they're open late- I wish more bakeries were. Their conchas are my favorite and they have such a large selection and variety of other goodies. We stopped in for some valentines treats and they had some great stuff.

    Almost filled box. More room was filled.

    The best panderia in the Phoenix area, even though its technically Glendale. The second you walk in you get hit with the smell of sweetness. I've been coming here for years for freak and warm tortillas, and recently took my friend from Tucson here. His jaw hit the floor. He loaded up a giant box filled with about one of everything but my favorite is the tres colores (three colored) cookies. The service here is great and there is usually a line, but it typically moves quickly. During the holiday rushes like Christmas and Easter this place is packed so you have to eye up the parking lot to make sure you won't have to walk a block but it is so worth it.

    Conchas and empanadas are so good

    My favorite bakery while I was in Arizona! Parking can be difficult especially since it gets pretty busy and their parking lot is really small Service is decent. Expect long lines but the line moves pretty fast! Everything was so freshly made and affordable! They have a huge variety of conchas, empanadas, tortillas (MUST GET! $6/dozen), tamales, and tons of other Mexican goodies! The conchas were so delicious, soft, and colorful! However, don't go when they first open (6am) otherwise they aren't fresh! It was very affordable and $~2 each. 9/10 Empanadas come in so many different flavors - pineapple, apple, peach, cherry, strawberry, etc. They're so yummy, fresh, and stuffed with filling! Super reasonably priced (~$2). This was 8/10 for me The tortillas are a MUST! So fresh and such a good deal - $6/dozen! Super soft and delicious! Would totally recommend and return

    I'd never been in here before and decided to stop in and grab some pastries for work. The bakery is large, and there were three cases of items to choose from, plus breads and conchas on the back wall. The woman who helped me was very nice and did speak some English. We were able to get through the transaction smoothly. I don't remember what everything was called, but everything was delicious!

    One of the best Hispanic bakeries in town. When you see the line out the door by the locals you know it's jackpot. They sell red and green burritos that are perfect in size and quite flavorful. They have such an assortment of sweet breads, pastries, donuts, and cookies. Very reasonable price. You can also order cakes. This is a no frills bakery, with very efficient service. The line is long but it moves quickly. Highly recommend

    My brother who used to live in the Glendale area always used to bring back baked items and green chili burritos. My mom and I were in the area and decided to check it out. Wow what an updated bakery since we last visited! The staff were helpful and friendly. The area was clean and spacious. We ordered two green chili burritos to go. Wow! It tasted the exact same way 10+ years ago. Give it try if you're feeling more on the savory side! I forgot to take a picture! If you're extra hungry, get two!

    I get the hype! We came 45 mins before closing and the parking lot was packed (it's a small lot) lol but it still poured over to the other business parking. I mainly came because I like to find the best tortillas in each state and Reddit said La Purisima Bakery has the best flour tortillas. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make the stop before our flight but the bf wanted some sweet bread. While waiting for our flight, I took out the concha and man o man it's was the softest concha I have ever felt. It was almost 3 hours later when I tasted it and it was delish! I'm so sad I got 1 now I know when I'm back in Phoenix to get a dozen. Do not skip this bakery when you are in Phoenix!

    This is a very popular bakery. Why? Because they make everything from scratch from the pan dulce, tamales, cakes, cookies, fresh flour tortillas, etc. All bakery items are delicious and crafted with care. Their staff is very friendly and helpful if you have any questions. Don't be intimidated by long lines because the line does move at a good pace. Went back a few weeks later just to buy tamales for our Super Bowl party and everyone loved them. Our friends took the remaining tamales home and left us with none. That's how delicious they were!!

    Quick stop by today to get some sweets for my little family, it's always never disappointing us, so yummy. I love the Glendale location,it's big, it's always so nice and clean and friendly.

    Someone is a fan of the warm tortilla with butter!
    Jenn N.

    My family and I love pan dulce and this is quite a bit of a drive for us coming from Surprise but we keep coming back because of the quality and taste. (They have long lines for a reason) They offer so many options but our favorites have to be the concha, oreja, mantecado, & churros. My kids simply devour the fresh tortilla made in-house. A perfect little snack when had with butter. It's a difference you can taste immediately. We always leave with at least two dozen. We want to come back and try the chocoflan and so much more!

    Camille D.

    Our first time here at La Purisima and we were thoroughly pleased with the variety as well as the quality of the baked goods and tamales we ordered. It is a rather larger bakery so hard to miss when you drive by. As soon as you enter, you will see all the pastries, breads and goodies they have. My recommendation is the concha, this is likely the best tasting concha I ever had and would pair well with coffee. They also sell food like tamales burritos and menudos. The green and red tamales were super delicious and cheap. They sell burritos for $5 but we did not get to try it. Service is fast and she was really sweet helping us decide on what we wanted. The bakery is really cute with colorful art outside painted on the building. The interior is clean and organized.

    Do you know if they bake cakes for any event? I've been there a few times but have never seen any cake displays

    Yes they do bake cakes. You have to go in person to order a cake.

    Do they sell masa for tamales?

    Yes, they do! You can order it all year round!

    Has anyone tasted their tres leches cake? We are not from the area and need to place an order ahead of time.

    It's very delicious, but like anything it's a matter of opinion. La Purisima is a truly authentic Mexican bakery and restaurant. My recommendation is GO FOR IT!!!… Read more

    Do they sell champurado?

    The bakery does not but there is frequently a person selling it in the parking lot.

    What days do they have tamales & what kind?

    I know they have red and green chili pork.

    Are the tortillas made with vegetable shortening or lard? I'm wondering if they are vegan friendly.

    I am not sure, maybe call them and ask, but somehow I doubt they are.

    Are they open Christmas Eve?

    Yes

    Anytime I get/ have to take a field trip for / during working hours, I always look to Yelp for…read morecoffee and or baked goods. I recently had to be in the downtown Glendale area - the Yelp machine recommended I hit up Blue Corn Cafe. There's some development / construction in the downtown area so parking is a little limited. However - I was able to snag a spot right along 58th Ave and get a good view of all the cute shops to check out at a later date. Blue Corn was surprisingly busy that morning due to hosting a Coffee with Cops event. I got the low down from a few of the GPD staff that they are consistently rated as one of the best cafes in the city, maybe even the West Valley. They have recently-ish opened up a second location in DT Mesa, which definitely fits their vibe. I was told the owner gets up early every day to bake - I love the dedication to his craft. Like many mom and pops, there are times when quantities are limited. So ofc I had to buy some baked goods to go for my work team! Their muffins are HUGE - like 2 -3 servings per *singular* muffin. I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought 6... hello carb heaven for us. I noticed a lot of sweet and savory options - croissant sandwiches, cookies, you name it. Definitely the muffins were well-enjoyed by all (PSL, lemon-blueberry, red velvet), and the general consensus was lemon blueberry as the winner. It's a small space with not a lot of seating options however there appears to be a back patio that might be shared with other restaurants. I couldn't get a view on my way out. Cannot wait for the next time that I'm in the area to grab more sweets!

    Came for a quick stop--left planning my next trip back. I had about a two-hour break during a track…read moremeet and noticed a small line forming outside this bakery in downtown Glendale--so I decided to go on a little adventure. This was my first stop, and I'm so glad it was. The café itself is absolutely charming--spacious, clean, and with plenty of seating. But what stood out immediately was the customer service. From the moment I walked in, everyone was smiling. You can tell this is a team that genuinely enjoys what they do. Despite the line, they were patient, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Their coffee selection is wide but not overwhelming. . I went with the matcha latte with pistachio, which was well-balanced. When it came to food, I couldn't decide between my usual go-to (broccoli and cheese quiche) or the bacon, spinach, and cheddar--or even the tomato basil, which sounded amazing. I asked the barista/ server to choose for me, and she recommended the bacon, spinach, and cheddar. It did not disappoint. The crust was thick and perfectly done, and the filling was layered and flavorful--just incredible. I also ordered an ube muffin and was given a complimentary lemon tart (no complaints here!). The ube muffin was exactly what you'd hope for--lightly sweet with a delicate blend of vanilla, nutty notes, and a hint of coconut. The lemon tart was perfectly balanced--bright, slightly tart, and complemented beautifully by the whipped topping. Before leaving, I grabbed a loaf of sourdough to go. They even offered to slice it for me--small detail, big win. And I have to say, coming from San Francisco, I do not say this lightly: this is hands-down some of the best sourdough I've had outside of San Francisco. Honestly worth the 45-minute drive just for that alone. I come from a background in the restaurant industry, and great service doesn't go unnoticed. Everyone here was attentive, kind, and truly invested in the experience they provide. The customer service alone is worth the visit. They so offer Panini's and daily soups.. Their menu changes daily. They also offer Louisiana hot sauce so someone knows what they're doing. I can't wait to bring my kids here next time. We will absolutely be back.

I finally got the one that is daily up for grans, and I was so excited!

We walked in to the bakery with the intention of ordering more treats, in addition to what was in the too good to go surprise. When we walked in, it was 10:05, and they closed at 10:30. They had already put away half of their gelato and baked goods in the cabinet.

There were three parties of people that walked in while we were in there and then sitting out on the really nice patio.

It happened to be a little under twenty minutes away from us so we decided let's do it & they were open late. Hell yeah. There's not a crazy amount of pastries but the selection was great. We got two tiramisus, one vanilla custard lobster tail, some mini cannolis, & the wedding cookies. Everything came out to about $50 so beware, prices aren't exactly cheap. But for one, if you're going to do "bad" then do it right & we also shared with our family of 5 so plenty to go around. & Holy cow, everything was incredible. So indulgent, decadent & rich in flavor. My nephews liked the cannolis, personally they're not my favorite, but if you're into it the mini's are a great option to quench the craving. The lobster tail with the vanilla custard took me by surprise. I didn't think I was going to care for it, but the cold custard was refreshing & the flakiness of the bread was crazy, my taster buds were confused by the textures, but in the best way. They complemented each other well. My ultimate favorite was the tiramisu & the wedding cookies. I honestly wish I had gotten more of the wedding cookies, those things took me back. I grew up eating the Mexican ones & the Italians did it right *applause* But damn, the tiramisu was to die for. I would order that again & again. Perfectly chilled, the dusting of the cocoa powder didn't taste like nesquik--incredible. At first the price had me thinking if we were doing too much, like damn, should we have just gone to Sprouts bakery? But after being able to indulge in a great quality dessert, it was worth every dollar. My only feedback, careful when you're paying at the register. If you're not paying attention, the tip automatically defaults to 18% on the tablet. Only thing I didn't care for. I could see if I was eating at the restaurant, but I just popped in to take pastries to go. So, that was kind of annoying. The service was fine, the girl that helped me was nice, but again I just pointed at desserts I wanted & went home. The location is part of the main restaurant, but it has its own entrance & little room making it feel separate to the Sicilian Butcher. They also carry gelato which I haven't tried yet. I believe they have little tables to sit at also. Highly recommend checking this out so save room for dessert!
