    Su primera rosca Jan 2021 vs Jan 2025

    El mejor pan que yo conozco en todo San Diego. Si voy a comer y pecar comiendo pan tiene que valer la pena siempre vengo aquí aunque me queda 20 minutos de distancia vale la pena . Y la rosca que no se diga tiene ya 6 años comprando de esta panadería. Todos siempre bien amables

    Best panadería ever. I swear there isn't a better panadería in entire SD! Their pan dulce is so so yummy very delicious very soft! Anything you get from conchas to empanadas are so delicious. The bread is very fresh and you can tell right away is made daily. We like their bread so much that for día de Reyes we also got a rosca. And it was amazing! Best rosca ever better than northgate better than anything else. Even the sweet bread is better than panchitas. I really recommend this place! It is worth it and it is amazing! My feiend who is like my sister is the one who introduced us to this amazing place! And she actually is the one bringing it to us! Big thanks to my sister Marlene she knows how much we love pan dulce and she got us addicted to this panadería so good!

    My favorite location to visit for fresh baked bread. I love the consistency this location has to offer quality sweet bread so fresh that you can smell it from the outside surroundings it makes you crave it to the fullest. Today I bought 21 assorted Mexican breads for my visitors at home and loved the presentation the staff had to organize all the breads to look presentable. This location is constantly baking bread throughout the day to offer its customers the best quality at $1 a piece that's amazing price highly recommend. I come here so often one day you might cross me.

    Panaderia Gonzalez is a nice little gem hidden in the south bay. You'll find blue stacked trays of a variety of pan dulce. If you get here early you will have a great variety to chose from. If you get here in the afternoon to get your pan dulce for tomorrow, not so much. Unfortunately the store is pretty warm, no AC, as soon as you get in there it pretty much is just the warmth from the baking and the sun. Lastly the place is kinda a downfall due to the inability to pay with a card. Only cash here, no futuristic payment options here! This place would get better reviews is there weren't so many other more convenient options. Almost every grocery store has just as many options for pan dulce, a huge amount of variety in all hours of the day and located everywhere. I really want to like this place but it really isn't the greatest. I want to give this place 3 stars but I really can't bring myself to click that third star.

    I think this is a tortuga?

First off tried the matcha croissant. I love matcha but wasn't really a fan of the croissant. I rarely tasted any matcha flavor, and did not really like the addition of the cream..but to each their own! I really liked the roe baguette , savory and crispy made a perfect snack. The bacon danish was also delish and the potatoes inside was a surprise. The karage sando was decent. I really liked how juicy yet crispy the chicken was! Wasn't too fond of the sour ness of the lettuce though. And wish that the toast was warmed up!

The smallest of gestures and niceties are what make leaving the house worth it. GIANDUIA. This cake is nothing you can be prepared for, yet everything you need without setting expectations.

    5/11/2026 CHOCO CHIP…read morePISTACHIO COOKIE Wow! This was reeeeally good! It was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. Lots of chocolate and I think they added toffee in it too. The middle section had pistachio frangipane (or it looked like it) with coarsely chopped pistachios that brought another layer of crunch! Then to top it all off, it had pistachio cream on top of the cookie! I only wish I got another one. CAPPUCCINO It was okay. But love the foam! It was frothy and foamy! PAVLOVA The meringue was a bit too hard and too sweet and the pastry cream was overwhipped. Loved the fresh fig and blueberries though. I was looking forward to eating pavlova and this was very disappointing! KOUIGN AMANN Very buttery and sticky! Crispy on the outside. Every bite was not dry, but chewy. There was this sticky and chewy texture that wasn't unpleasant, yet it wasn't fully flaky like a croissant. But glad it was not dry! The kouign amann was not as tall like others I've tried, but I preferred it this way because it was not dry. The last kouign amann I had from Bread Lounge was dryyyy. But bought mine at a coffee shop too. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT Crispy on the outside, but I must have toasted a bit more, so the outside was a bit more toasted than desired. Inside was good. Good dark chocolate. BUTTER CROISSANT Really buttery, flaky, crispy! Ate it next day, so reheated it in the toaster oven to bring a more crispness all around. Really enjoyed this! Adding butter and jam is so good! LEMON MERINGUE Meringue had a strong eggy smell and flavor, the lemon was tangy, but not enough to rid of the eggy smell and flavor. The tart was hard and almost stale. I took a few bites and threw the rest out. PAIN SUISSE Chocolate flavor. Crispy on the outside, fluffy like a light spongy cake inside. Enjoyed this! CUSTOMER SERVICE Got there early afternoon. There was only one person in front of me. Good service overall. Quick service. Hits and misses of the various pastries I've tried. It will not deter me from trying their pastries though, as the really good ones were really good! Would love to return! Especially for that Choco Chip Pistachio Cookie! LOCATED INSIDE ANOTHER STORE Located inside a store called Floral Palette, which is a floral shop and specialty gift store. Beautiful store! The sign is big, so you cannot miss it!
