First of all, this is the first bakery I've found in my 21 years in Texas that's even close to the quality and feel of the bakeries in Southern California and I'm so excited. All of their selections are very good and very fresh and you have to come by frequently to see what is rotating in and out - like seasonal baked items depending on the holidays. Lots to choose from - it's almost impossible for me to choose and keep from buying more than my family will eat. Great customer service, great quality and the prices are so good. Why aren't there more bakeries like Lucy's in North Texas?! Regarding my 21 years here, I lived in Allen for most of that time and there are a couple grocery stores over there but their selections were woefully lacking compared with what Lucy's offers - also they weren't as fresh. Lucy's is what's up. read more

I've lived in this area for over three years and never knew this bakery was there. But then I never drive that way. I was anxious to visit this place. I'll try a new bakery now and then, in search of a good place close to me. I'm very picky on the flavors of the bakery's breads and such. I'll usually try a new bakery at least once. If it doesn't grab me the first time, I'll move on. It was really good. The concha's have a little flavor, they could use just a little bit more anise, but not enough to keep me from buying them. The empanadas were fantastic! I love Gallinas, but this place didn't have them, maybe next time. This will be my permanent bakery, unless I move out of this area. read more

Fresh baked items. Was great. They accept only cash. Typical Mexican baked goods.should try once read more

Hoy compré mi rosca de reyes y ahora estoy con mis invitados y la rosca está INCOMIBLE. Sabe a cartón, la masa no sabe a nada y solo espolvorearon con azúcar glass, lo que la hace MUY dulce pero no sabe a nada mas. NO RECOMIENDO QUE GASTES $30 EN ALGO CON 0% CALIDAD read more

The Pan Dulce is the best in Denton! It is so fresh and the variety is insane. They also have a variety of breads that are not sweet.

Yeah..... I'm gonna be spending a lot of money here. First off, you walk in and the smell of fresh baked bread hits you in the face and welcomes you inside. That's always a good sign when walking into any bakery place. You come in, grab a tray/tongs ... And then you pick one of everything. Even when you are using tongs to grab the breads, you can feel how soft each item is. Which is bad for me.... Cause I grabbed even more. I love how the empanadas are separate and labled. I'm a pumpkin empanada girl, and man I loved these!!!! I hate when people make the pumpkin too sweet. Leave it alone, it's got a good amount of sweetness. These ones are perfect! I also got one each of the other flavors. So far, all amazing. Last but not least, I grabbed a tres Leches to go. Holy cow It was so good. I added the only pic I could get after we started eating but before it was gone. Conchas never made it home to be eat with a cup of good coffee. read more

Lucy's is a hidden gem. The bread was so good and my kids had a blast picking out baked treats for only 50 cents a piece. We also had them make my daughter's birthday cake. She had been wanting tres leches cake so bad since we moved to Texas. The cake was delicious and beautifully decorated! read more

Lucy's Bakery - Tres leches cake and pan dulce - Bakeries Near Me - Denton, Texas

Great bread and service! Would definitely recommend for the authentic experience! Give it a try!

What a great find!! I needed cake... not for an event or any noble reason. I just had a disapointing lunch and wanted to treat my taste buds to something good. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday afternoon so none of the places that came to mind were open. Luckily I used Yelp's 'open now' function to discover two panaderías that were open. This one was the closest and we headed straight there. This panadería (bakery) is located on the east side of McKinney from the intersection of 288. They are a small place with no seating. You enter to a counter on your left and a coffee station on your right. The counter displays some of the more expensive items like the Tres Leches cake I got for $3. Straight ahead is a series of display cabinets with treats ranging from 50 cents to $1. To the right of those cabinets is a display with so many fresh loaves of bread! As someone was coming from the back to put out more fresh bread, I asked about the process and on the bread display is where you start. There are three sized trays (small, medium, large) and tongs. Serve yourself to your heart or trays content and then pay at the register. They will load everything into a plastic bag, charge you very little and you can go home with your treasures. I asked the woman about a sweet bread I couldn't identify and I was offered a sample. A gentleman came around the corner with a spoonful of a sweet cream that wasn't overly sweet and really fresh and I was sold. I tried a little of a lot of things. There is a huge variety from cornbread muffins and plain pastries to sweet breads to empanadas to frosted sheet cake. Something for every level of sweet tooth! I was so impressed with the tastiness of what I left with that I can't wait to go back and get a loaf of bread and some other goodies. My favorite had to be the simplicity of the cornbread muffin. The tray had plain and sprinkles. I also really liked the apple empanada. I was surprised to see a cheese Danish next to the sweet breads so I also tried that. Since I came for cake, I grabbed a piece of yellow cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. It was on top of a new layer so I grabbed it knowing it was an older batch and it was a little stale but hit the spot in the sugar department. The sweet bread was my second favorite, followed by the tres leches. This is a family owned business and most items are labeled, but labeled in Spanish. My Spanish isn't great, so I chose with my eyes. I doubt anything offered here is gluten free but I also don't know how to ask that in Spanish. So keep in mind that this isn't a café but a family owned bakery where you choose your items and go. There may not be anyone up front because they are working in the back, call out if you need them before they come to fill a display. If you get two items you don't want touching due to toppings I'm sure they will put them in separate bags. I absolutely think they are 5 stars for this style of business. I found the experience very enjoyable. I couldn't believe what a steal this was. I got a bunch of stuff for $5.50 (keep in mind one was the $3 cake I mentioned earlier) and I have got to get back there to sample more. I can't believe I have lived in Denton for so long and had no idea they were here! They better watch out, they just earned themselves a regular with a sweet tooth! :) read more

Lucy, you have some splaining to do! How do you have such a wonderful little shop and I have not know about it? First of all. let's talk about your prices. I am still in disbelief over how inexpensive all your delectable goodies are. Most other bakeries are three times the price of your sweet treats. At 50 cents each, I feel that I am going to be putting on some unwanted pounds before summer. Even your higher priced items at $3 are a steal because of the size and quantity. We bought a bag full of deliciousness for only $3 and I felt kinda bad that I didn't pay more. My kids are going to love visiting. Next, what a smorgasbord of a selection you have! So many delightful types of pastries. Many are fruit filled, cream filled, dipped in sugar, covered in sprinkles, and many just simple sweet breads. You sell fantastic cookies, tarts, churros, breads, and everything that can be thought of. Finally, I really appreciate your quaint, little store. It's not flashy or fancy in any way. I love the idea of simply getting a tray and filling it with as many items as you can possibly handle. Staff is super friendly and will help with whatever is needed. Anyone who has not been through your front door, needs to pay you a visit soon and often. We will be bask again post haste! read more

Ok so obviously I'm the only one to not give a 5 star review, but there was MOLD on my tres leches. I also got a cuerno and concha and both were ok, a little on the dry side. I know times are tough but how long was the cake sitting there that it grew mold and in a refrigerated case too? Sad I wasted $6 and disappointed to not get delicious pan dulce. I'm all for supporting small business so I'll try again when things are more normal, but definitely did not live up to the hype this time. read more

First time trying this bakery; travelled around 35 mins to buy tres leches. Worth the travel, It is really good and the cake is moist.

This bakery is Denton's hidden gem! We had an amazing experience here and got to try so many different pastries for a low low cost! The best part about it was the fresh tortillas sold in the cooler at the front. Definitely coming back! read more

The flavor of the concha was really good. But I was disappointed in the selection. There's really not a huge variety.

Their tacos are my favorite! They remind me of tacos from the Southside of Chicago, no frills just delicious well seasoned meats with onion and cilantro! And their salsas don't disappoint either! My husband LOVES their hot salsa and while it's too much heat for me, it is excellent! Oh and the tres leches cake is SO GOOD!!! read more

WOW!! Found Lucy's on yelp because I was looking for a tres leches cake for my husbands birthday. All the reviews kept mentioning they had the best tres leches. I called and ordered the cake. I didn't ask for fancy decor, I just wanted the cake extra moist. They did not disappoint AT ALL!! That cake was one of the best I have ever had, we come from Southern California and we have great panaderías over there, this place I must say beats those. I bought a bunch of pan dulce ( Mexican sweet bread), you can tell it is made fresh daily and absolutely delicious! The conchas were so soft and fluffy. I still have some of the bread a week later and it is still delicious. The staff was super friendly, helped me carry the heavy cake to my truck and waited patiently while I adjusted the seating so it wouldn't tilt. I went from Frisco to Denton to get this cake! I'd do it just to go get the bread. Absolutely awesome experience! read more

loved the sweet breads and tres leches cakes I got from here !! they're priced so well, and my friends all thought the tres leches cakes were delicious when I brought a few to a gathering. read more

They have amazing Tres Leches, Napoleon Tres Leches, and sweet breads. It's delicious and cheap.

New to this area and after reading the reviews, I was reluctant to visit this place. But noticed they were all old reviews. I decided to try it since this is the closest to me. It was pretty good. The concha's have a little flavor. The thing that bummed me out was that there is not a large variety that I'm used to seeing. I love Gallinas, but this place didn't have them. I'll visit again. Hopefully I'll get there when the variety is larger. read more

Always the freshest. I drive 40 mins just to come here for their bread. It always smells so lovely walking through the door, and they have the best prices !!! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I tried this bakery for the first time this morning and everything was fresh and sooo delicious! I tried 5 different pastries and they were all amazing! The cashier was very helpful and very nice and the cost of their pastries are very very reasonable, I feel like I didn't pay enough for how delicious they are. I will be there every time I get the chance. read more

I LOVE this place! Honestly, we have to be robbing them blind with these prices. And so friendly! I got a bag of sweet goodies with the BEST churros EVER. A sweet gem that we all need to find. FYI, for ones that wonder..they do speak English. It's ok, explore! read more

How did we not know about this place? We tried a whole bunch of items and the kids loved the concha and corbata they tried, as well as the sweet empanadas. We also tried a tres leches cake, but it had an egg shell so we only made it through half a slice before stopping. But the prices were great and shells happen, so we'll try again. read more

Good cheap bakery. The croissants make a great breakfast. My favorite pastries are the empanadas and the conchas. Anyways you cant go wrong with this place. Try it! read more

Amazing and authentic Mexican pastries. Everything was fresh. You walk in and it smells amazing! Highly recommend this spot!

Lucy's Bakery is the BEST!! Their bread is always fresh with just a slight sweetness that makes you come back for seconds! Open six days a week - so I can get fresh Mexican pastries just about anytime. I love this bakery. You will not be sorry. I have tried other bakeries. No one beats Lucy's!! Other bakeries will bag the bread for you. Then when you get home, you will find the old, hard bread they sold you. At Lucy's, the customer uses the tongs to place their selections on a tray. Then the person behind the counter bags it for you. You will never get old, hard bread at Lucy's Bakery. Love it!! Bien hecho!!!! read more

I stopped by to grab a tres leches cake for my boyfriend's birthday and ended up grabbing a bunch of things. Everything was delicious. 10/10 recommend. read more

YAY!!! I finally found delicious and inexpensive pan dulce in Denton!! After much searching... La Michocana, the now extinct Sack "n" Save, some of the other small time options in Denton I was sadly disappointed to not find any good or authentic pan dulce. I was in a sad place. Enter Lucy's Bakery! Tucked back on McKinney past the 7Eleven where I had never thought to look. There are always two FULL bakery cases of fresh baked pan dulce and they are all under $1 most half that, also they have several flavors of empanadas, chimichangas, maranitos, cookies, and they also offer cakes but I have never had one of those. I love this place. Don't know how many times I have stopped for a special treat to get two or three of the delicious Mexican pastries that I don't know where else to find near Denton. (at least ones I liked!) Can't wait to go back and I suggest you go try it too!!! Es Muy Bueno! Would rate five stars except for the location being hard to see and get in and out of during traffic times. read more
