    what'll it be?
    John O.

    This is the best panaderia I've found in Long Beach. I love that they have little smaller sized pieces of pan dulce that you can purchase here instead of the standard size. That way you can try all your favorites.......yes.......I'm a kid again every time I visit a panaderia. I've tried everything here and there isn't anything that isn't good. Everything is really fresh in the morning. Prices are very good in an economy that's seen a lot of inflation in the bread space :) Super clean, just remember to lock your car when you go in......not exactly the safest area.

    Don't show up on Monday because basically there's nothing there. It's good don't get me wrong, but you are gonna pay a pretty price.

    Monica's from the outside.

    A staple in my household every time my sister comes over to visit from Long Beach. We always have Monica's pan dulce with cafecito on the weekends she comes over. And every single time my sister says, "The conchitas are fresh!" And ohhh man, they sure are! They offer pan dulce of all sorts and even cakes, and other pastries as well. I came by on a Sunday around 12ishpm and all of the display cases were filled with so many yummy breads it was hard to choose. I've had Monica's plenty of times but had never visited their storefront, even when I did live in LB so it was pretty cool to see where it all starts.

    The quality of your bread is no longer there taste is horrible
    Teresa O.

    You shouldn't even get one star quality. The bread sucks. It's hard and no even tastes

    Me looking for the cheese

    The tamales used to be bomb kool amount of cheese and chile but now there getting stingy with how much they put in it I did this to look for the cheese just a piece the size of my pinky has more masa than anything

    Cake with no lid ( I had to pay an extra $3 for another box to create a makeshift lid)

    Very horrible customer service ! Boxed up my cake with no lid and when I proceeded to ask for a lid they said they did not have any, both ladies were very unprofessional ! Then I went back to ask for another box to put on top to cover the cake so no debris would fall while on the ride back home and she charged me $3 for a box. Please do not come here

    Super cute place with a variety of cupcakes!…read more My family and I were craving an afternoon treat. Found this place on Yelp and were very impressed! We were immediately greeted by a very nice young lady working there. She told us about all of the desserts and even recommended a few. Here is our review of everything we got! The Opposite: 7.5/10. classic, nothing special. Death by Chocolate: 9/10. Loved it! Chocolate Mint: 9/10. Delicious! Like a thin mint as a cupcake. Big Peanut Butter cookie: 10/10. Sweet, salty, and perfectly paired with melted chocolate on top! Best pb cookie I've tried! We would definitely come back. They also offer mini options for most of the cupcakes if you prefer bite-sized treats. If you are wanting to fulfill your sugar cravings, don't hesitate to stop by here!!

What I was disappointed with is that you would allow me to select the coffee cake I wanted even though I should be able to choose if I am paying for it. I was told that the coffee cake has to stay balanced and I couldn't pick the slice from the bottom. And you put both items in the same container. The brownie was not good it tasted very dry it didn't taste fresh at all. For being a first time customer. I didn't have the best experience in returning.

The cake its self was delicious! With so many flavors it was definitely hard to choose from. I especially loved the delivery service made everything a breeze while I cooked for my party and didn't need to worry about picking up a cake. I see a lot of bad reviews about customer service but honestly it just sounded like a lot of back and forth with customers who weren't ready to spend money on something unique. Art is unique and not everyone can make something so special. (Mind you the cake was well under $200!) I know lots of places that charge for lots more that may have nice designs but not great tasting cake! I will order time and time again, I definitely recommend these wonderful people for ALL cake occasions.

I am helping my sister plan her son's 5th birthday party so I asked this company their pricing with an example photo. It was a little outside of our budget so I asked if we can get any sort of discount in which they replied. That is totally okay to not budge on your price but with that being said it is my right to get quotes elsewhere. They were very pushy and took it upon themselves to double text and say 1) they won't do business with me 2) they won't provide me with quotes 3) and saying I should go to a cheaper bakery 4) telling me "good bye" Furthermore when they first sent me a text starting they will not provide me any more quotes I understood as I am sure to not get an order for me was frustrating. So I replied saying sorry and that it wasn't up to me as it wasn't my money. However them further sending me another text that I should find a "cheaper cake, goodbye, we don't want your business" was VERY CHILDISH. I thought it was extremely uncalled for. I looked at the other reviews and see rudeness is apart of their pattern. From 3 years ago up until 19 days ago. Do better and speak to people professionally!

    Their parking? Bleh. Their price point? Meh…read more Their pie crust? Oh hell yeah. Came in with a small group early on a Wednesday afternoon maybe an hour before closing, and most of the tables were still filled with diners. We were seated right away in the way way back of the restaurant. The layout and decor of the place gives it a classic, borderline kitschy vibe. You can tell it's a place that's managed to hold its own for like 60 years (!!!). The server was friendly, overall service was prompt, and the portions were solid. I got the quiche of the day, which was ham and cheese, and it was amazing. It came with a side (salad was fresh and crisp) and a muffin -- their raspberry streusel muffin was so delicious and a perfect dessert to tie the meal together. I would definitely get this special again, and look forward to trying their other versions of both quiches and muffins. Others at my table got strawberry pancakes, a pastrami sandwich, and chicken fried steak. All food was devoured, so I take it that it was good. However, I really think that the baked goods make this place. So if you go, don't skip out on those.

Order was taken efficiently and soups were served in a good timely manner. When I told the server about the issues on the meat. Didn't seemed concern or care. Ambiance was loud as expected. People's voices carrying through dining area. Here is the bad for me. The French onion soup tasted super sour and acidic. Not sure if they use the red wine like traditional French onion soups but super acidic and sour. Didn't like the soup. The worst part was I ordered the Pastrami Reuben and didn't look like any Pastrami Reuben I have ever had. The meat had so much unrendered fat and connective parts of the pork it was completely inedible. Sandwich lacked meat and cross section photo shows. Also very sloppy build for a restaurant of this level. Unfortunately this will be my last time trying this popular location. 2 - service. 0- food quality
