Since then, I've gladly driven 20 minutes just to pick up their bread, it's that good. Their Mexican sweet bread is consistently fresh and flavorful; the crumb on that bread is impressive. I was so impressed that I ordered 45 conchas as a thank-you for celebrating with us gift for my son's wedding. They were a huge hit. Beyond the pan dulce, my husband and I have tried their burritos, carne asada, and carnitas, and everything has been absolutely delicious. We even ordered cabeza and lengua for my brothers, and they were just as impressed, especially with the flavor and the freshness of their flour tortillas. I also ordered a cake for a party and served it at the restaurant; it stole the show. It was so good that our waiter had a slice himself and asked where we bought it. From their bread and cakes to their savory dishes, this bakery consistently delivers quality and flavor. I highly recommend them.

Crème chantilly cake has a more cohesive flavor profile and way more berries! They were able to write on cake too! So so happy with the purchase. It was beautiful and delicious. Also, I think I had the best croissant from here. Ambience gave me a French boulangerie vibe and reminded me of the bakeries I used to frequent in Portland, OR. Come early cause they sell out.

Delicious, delicioso! We were on our way to a meeting and stopped by to get a quick bite and glad that tried the small breakfast burritos. They are mini burritos, but it's just a regular sized tortillas. They were good delicious I recommend you to try. They also offer Café de la Olla which is cinnamon brown sugar, coffee. read more
