This is a great little bakery. Really busy even at 7pm. Huge of assortment of pastries and Pan Dulce. AND they have a small taqueria in the back. People were buying tamales tonight. Can't wait to try these. I only got 1cookie and a Pineapple filled pastry both good. My son loves the tamales here. They make some very unique breads here for Dia de Los Muertos. Some giant some small, some with babies poking out some with figures drawn on them. They also have a variety of day old Pan Dulce prebagged for only 1.00! Only bad thing is very limited street parking in front. read more

I walked in and order two champurado and they gave me a mix of water and oatmeal. Never going there. And the two ladies were rude. They lost me as a customer. read more

Oh. My. Conchas. What started out as a well intentioned stop for two take-away tortas turned into a binge buying extravaganza when I was face to face with some of the most glorious pastries I've ever seen. Racks upon racks of fresh conchas, doughnuts, churros, cakes, cookies, pan dulce (buns), rolls, pan francés - all fresh from the oven. I launched into my own personal Veruca Salt moment as I couldn't leave until my bag (okay, bags) were completely stuffed. My torta paled in comparison, as anything would after my dessert first course. However the bread roll it was on? Incredible. If you're in the mood for some mind blowing baked goods, don't miss this wonderful little shop. read more

Can you say diamond in the rough... A small bakery shop on the east side of town. My girlfriend told me about this place and how I had to go and try the tortas there. At first I was skeptical but after her buying one and offering me half I was sold. Half a torta here is the size of a regular torta anywhere else. $10 Yes! I say $10 bucks for two tortas the size of a sub sandwich jam packed with meat. It's honestly getting four tortas for $10. They're that BIG!!! and flavor? on point! Full of flavor... a torta done right. Oh and don't forget the fresh pastries being rolled out fresh constantly. Sweet tooth had me like I want it all. A must try people! read more

La Soledad Bakery - Concha Sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Salinas, California

Amazing loafs to take home and plenty of delicious snacks to eat as well. I always love getting some extra goodies for the kids and they always love it! Always so fresh and smells amazing...even through your mask! read more

This is a mixed review since both my husband and I both have different feelings about the food we had. I had the chilaquiles verdes w/ scrambled eggs which to be honest I thought was pretty bland. My husband had the chilaquiles rojos w/ meat and memelitas and he thought they were pretty good! However, within a couple of hours I started to get intense cramps,chills and vomiting; turns out I got food poisoning. Just surprising since I usually have a strong stomach and the chilaquiles was the only thing I ate that morning. read more

Only one lone review for this dessert oasis...I'm incredulous!I just had a late night work meeting in Salinas and noticed across the street, like a beacon in the night, a bakery that was open at 845!! I pulled over to take a peek and to grab a sweet treat for the ride home. Perfect timing, I arrived right as a fresh batch of bakery treats were being wheeled in. I picked up a tray and a set of tongs and snagged a few desserts fresh off the baking racks. Score! After mulling over which ones to bring home, I finally decided to go with the Mexican elephant ear with ribbons of fruit, the cacahuete (two mega cookies stuck together with frosting) and a fruit-filled pastry. The elephant ear was incredibly incredibly delicious. Warm, flaky, perfectly sweet; crispy outside with a soft inside. This and the cacahuete are worth a special trip out to Salinas for me. When I went up to the counter to pay, I couldn't believe the total price. Three pastries and a coke for only $4!! Amazing! La Soledad Bakery has shelves and shelves laden with lavish treats. They have the embuelito (coconut dusted jelly rolls), Mexican cheesecake, oreja (akin to French palmiers - cinnamon and sugar crisps), churros, bolilos (savory stuffed breads, including ham, cheese, jalepenos and chiles), bavarian cream stuffed desserts, fresh-baked breads and rolls, various empanadas and lots of lunch and dinner items, including tortas, burritos and soups. Can't wait to tear into my third pastry tomorrow at lunch. Might try and swing by the car wash center and give my car a nice vacuum treatment too - a pound of pastry crumbs was left in the wake of my dessert crushing. This place is really something else! Sorry I have no accompanying pics to post...in my haste to satisfy my sweet tooth, I experienced a momentary lapse. Forgiven? Open till 9pm everyday too. read more

A "must" have! I was working out of town and needed to pick up some pastries for a client. This shop had great reviews - so I decided to give it a try. A small shop with amazing talent behind it. So many things to choose from. Grab a tray and some tongs and pick right off the pastry racks. While checking out I picked up a home made nut bar (granola size bar) sitting at the counter. You must pick up one of these too. I wish I lived closer. I will always make a detour when I'm anywhere near Salinas to pick up some scrumptious treats. I only wish I would have bought some to bring home to share with my family. Especially those big flat pastries sort of shaped like a heart. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'll have to try their food next time. That's a whole other menu. Enjoy! You won't be disappointed. read more
