Honestamente delicioso! All the pastries/bread I've tried have been great, very authentic. Unfortunately the price is higher than I'm used to coming from Chicago but since there's no options in Pittsburgh then I'll have to take it as is. I had gotten the tres leches cake for galentine's day this past year and it was so cute and tasted delish. It's a tiny place but it does its job. If you like Mexican bread, I recommend to try!! Of course the conchas are the staple for Mexican bread so do recommend that! read more

4.5 stars overall. Panaderia Jazmin is currently the only Mexican bakery in the Pittsburgh area. It is located in a slender building in the Beverly Road Shops, so be sure to not walk past it! Baked goods include many different types of breads, cookies, donuts, muffins, etcetera. When I visited this business, I took a pair of tongs and a plastic tray, and I selected baked goods from display cases. Then I checked out at the cash register in the back. The employee was very courteous and thanked me. The prices were approximately $1 to $4 per baked good. I tried about a dozen baked goods. Here are my reviews for many of them: Barquillo - 4 stars - This bread looked like Boston cream pie. My husband said that the bread was not sweet, but he liked the chocolate icing and interior cream. Niño envuelto - 4 stars - This sponge cake had strawberry jelly in the center and butter-crème icing. It was moist and sweet. Puff pastry with guava filling - 5 stars - This pastry had a flaky buttery crust with powdered sugar on top and guava fruit filling. Polvorón - 5 stars - This sugar cookie with sprinkles was a large size and tasted like shortbread. Churro - 4.5 stars - This churro was a long size, and it had a good amount of sugar on the outside and filling inside. Empanada de manzana - 4.5 stars - This empanada was large, and it was made from cinnamon dough and some apple filling. It tasted slightly sweet. Abanico - 5 stars - This puff pastry with chocolate tips reminded me of an elephant ear or palmier. It was sweet and crispy/flaky, and I liked the sweetness of the chocolate. Concha - 4 stars - This brioche-like bread was in the shape of a seashell, and it was topped with vanilla flavored sugar paste. It tasted slightly sweet. read more

Since my last review, I have been able to sample more variety of the awesome treats made here, and I have to give them one more star. I loved the Mexican Conch breads, and especially love the churros. The pastries and donuts are all wonderful, and the Tres Leches cake is so moist and yummy. The people that run the bakery are so pleasant and sweet, and I really enjoy coming here, and look forward to many more visits . . . Cheers! P.S. I took a box of treats in to work, and everybody loved them, and asked me where they came from. Several said they need to check this place out . . . and I agree, you should definitely check this place out!! read more

I can't explain in words how fluffy their baked goods are; you really have to experience them for yourselves. It's a small shop, but when you're loading up your tray from the case on the left, don't forget there's a whole fridge case in the back as well with tempting delights like rice pudding and pumpkin rolls. I stop by every time I'm on the right side of town to stock up on goodies. read more

Panaderia is a vibrant little bakery with so many tasty pastries that I haven't experienced anywhere else in Pittsburgh! I was a bit overwhelmed at what to try when I first visited, but the staff was super helpful and pointed out their personal favorites and best sellers. Upon visiting, customers take a tray and tongs and have the ability to choose their pastries themselves. I took home the concha, apple empanada, and blueberry pastry. They were all so fresh and felt very light and delicious! I'm excited to go back and try more. read more

Donuts We ordered a few items. What stuck out to me was the donut. I felt that the other items were dry. However, my husband disagreed. To each their own... Desert specs: Different & good! It was sort of like a light cake like donut. It kept you wanting for more. FYI - As with a lot of establishments it's better to go earlier rather than later. Once, I went near closing & got what you could expect. Stale. Bon appétit read more

This place was very cute and really reminded me of a Chinese bakery with how you get a tray and fill it up with the pastries you pick. I also love the location. All of the pastries looked beautiful and fresh. We had the bread with the bavarian cream inside it and the raspberry filled pastry stick. There was not enough bavarian cream or raspberry filling in both pastries. We liked the texture of the raspberry pastry, but the bavarian cream bread was very dry. Since we only tried two things, we are definitely going to come back soon to try other pastries like that cinnamon roll! It looked amazing! read more

My boyfriend and I's favorite place in Pittsburgh! It absolutely amazing and deserves every good review. The same woman has taken our order every single time and she has always been the sweetest and most welcoming. My boyfriend is Salvadorian so he really knows what he's talking about when it comes to Latin American restaurants. I get the chilaquiles with an egg, half green and half red while he likes to try new things on the menu (nothing has EVER disappointed us). The filled Concha is ONE OF ONE we have never had anything like it and dream about it sometimes. The filled churro is a must have as well we get 2 every time we come to Jazmin's. Skip the latte and matcha as I think the flavor is somewhat lacking but the freshly squeezed orange might be the best i've ever had. Highly, highly recommend, its a great place to chat, enjoy some baked goods and food, as well as fast and comforting service. read more

This place is fantastic! Cute little bakery with quite the selection. They just opened in September but seem to be a hit already. They bake everything fresh daily, and the few times that I've been there, it's been a different selection each time. It's like a whole new world of pastries and baked goods to explore if you've never been to a panaderia. I highly recommend it! I can't begin to describe how good everything tastes. I'll just say you truly won't be disappointed in anything that you try. The employees there are super friendly and helpful. We found out after chatting with them that you can call ahead and order things, so we ended up calling in for bolillos. I really can't say enough about this place. Do yourself a favor and give it a try! read more

I stopped by here a couple of Sunday mornings ago with my wife. The impetus for our visit was the Yelp Elite event. Without it, I don't think that I would have ever discovered Panaderia Jazmin. It's located right on Beverly Road in Mt Lebanon and the store itself was tinier than I had expected. Upon entering there were display cases filled with baked goods on the whole left side of the bakery and then a place to pay with some refrigerated display case in the front. The way that it works here is that you grab a tray and a pair of tongs and put whatever it is you are going to buy on a tray and take it to the front to pay for it. I had only seen this way of grabbed baked goodies once before, at the only other Mexican Bakery I have been too before outside of Tulsa, so I am assume this is the traditional way. On this day I filled my tray with anything and everything that looked good to me. When all was said and done I ended up buying a Pierna rellena de memelada de raspberry (Sweet bread with raspberry filling topped with sugar powered paste), a calabaza (Sweet bread filled with Bavarian creme and coated with powdered sugar), pay de queso (cheesy sweet muffin), barquillo (Sweet bread topped with chocolate & filled with Bavarian creme) and a merranito (gingerbread-like cookies). All told, it cost me $14 which seemed like a steal for everything that I received. Out of the bunch, the Pierna rellena de memelada de raspberry and calabaza were my favorites as i appreciated both the raspberry and the Bavarian creme from each. Of course my pants did not as powdered sugar got all over them, so eat with care! My wife ended up really enjoying the merranito since she loves gingerbread and even though it looked like a thick cookie, the inside was soft and flavorful. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed everything that we tried and I was very happy with the price as well. read more

So happy to have come in this week for the amazing service and tasty baked goods here! My wife and I each picked out several items and then grabbed a few more for our sons. At the end we had 8 different items to test out and each one was unique and flavorful. Some of our favorites were the citrus cookie with buttercream, a filled churro, and danish with jelly filling on the inside. One of my sons really liked a cookie with some guava jam on the inside. I wish I'd had the forethought to take pictures of the names of each one, but really enjoyed each one! Hope to stop back in when in the South Hills again! read more

Panaderia Jazmin has moved to a new location & expanded their menu from their delicious baked goods to also include breakfast & lunch options that are INCREDIBLE. Jose & all of the staff were so welcoming & were happy to provide me some recommendations for my first time dining with them! I have tried their churros before (which are DIVINE) so I knew I wanted one of those & then I grabbed a Barquillo with Bavarian filling, a chocolate abuelita to sip on & Pochados a la Mexicana for my meal. The flavors of everything I ordered were absolute perfection. The carnitas were sooooo juicy & flavorful, the different salsas added another layer of flavors - I could go on & on!!! I even said I was so happy I didn't have to douse everything in hot sauce bc the flavors were such a delight LOL. I overheard the table of gentlemen next to me say that they come for lunch everyday & I HEARD THAT. This Mt. Lebo spot is a must visit! Also cutie mug alert am I rite??

My husband is Mexican so when I saw this bakery on Instagram, I knew we had to visit! We both grew up getting our pastries on Sundays so after church we drove the 40-minute drive to get our pastries for the week. My husband wanted bolillo bread but they didn't have any so we got similar bread used for sandwiches and tortas. The bakery had sweet breads, churros, conchas, donuts, flaky puff pastry filled desserts and many other Mexican pastries. It's located on a main street in Mt. Lebanon so parking is scarce but there is a parking lot nearby. While the bakery is small in size, it offers a delicious variety. It's approved by my native Mexican husband who throughly enjoyed some even before we got home! We definitely recommend it! read more

They aren't super sweet unless they are supposed to be, and are absolutely to die for. They rotate which ones are available, depending on the day, but you will always find something amazing.

A new bakery just opened up in the neighborhood so I had to check it out. It's a friendly family owned business in Mt Lebo. If your not local, it may be a little hard to find. It's snuggled in between Cafe IO and their IO deli on Beverly Road. This is a tiny little self serve Mexican bakery that sells yummy sweet breads and treats. I have no idea what I've ordered because there are not many signs or descriptions. You could tell everything was fresh. You can see the family baking right in the back! We bought several items that were all good. Soft bread and not overly sweet. My daughter's favorite was the chocolate topped donut like pastries. Eat one of these and you'll never be able to stomach a Dunkin Donut again. They are made with real fresh ingredients and a lovely Mexican chocolate which is not sickening sweet like you get at the DD. My only regret is not getting the lemon bars the first time we went as I have not seen them again. There are so many things to try that you need to keep going back. I'd love to share some pictures, but we ate it all before I got a chance. Next time! read more

I get why folks are enamored about this place, as it's absolutely a site to see. But when you turn…read morea bakery into a factory, you pump out product with low quality. I've tried their donuts, their cookies, their pies, their cupcakes, and everything ranges from not being fresh, to lacking flavor, to being just downright awful (seriously, how do you screw up a chocolate chip cookie?). Your best bet is to actually just order a sandwich or a salad, but it you're coming here for pastries, I'd recommend you don't.

I got to try the plain cheesecake, buckeye, lavender, double chocolate, biscoff, and key lime pie, and honestly every single one was delicious! His cakes are made with alot of labor & love! What made this experience even more amazing, was getting to go behind the scenes and actually help make a ton of different cheesecakes. Such a fun, hands on experience getting to see Kyle in action and the amount of hard work that goes into every order. I loved hearing his stories about his childhood and his family influences. Kyle is only 31 and has owned his business for over 7 years! That's impressive. You can really see the passion behind his baking. He works incredibly hard and even sacrifices a lot of his social life to keep growing his business, perfecting his craft, and supporting his community. Small business, big story! definitely a spot worth supporting in Pittsburgh!!!!! Thank you Kyle & Lisa

I stopped by here this past Sunday with my family for our morning coffee. Every weekend we try to…read morehit up a new local coffee shop, and on this morning it happened to be Tous Les Jours. This shop is part of a larger chain but currently appears to be the only location in the Pittsburgh area. It's located in East Liberty and is really more of a bakery than a coffee shop. The inside is split about 50/50, with half dedicated to seating and the other half serving as a self-serve bakery. You grab a tray and tongs before walking around selecting whichever baked goods catch your eye. They also have display cases filled with cakes and other pastries that need to be kept refrigerated. For my coffee on this morning I went with a 16 oz hot honey lavender macchiato while my wife chose a 16 oz iced tiramisu latte. I have to admit that the name of my drink confused me a bit at first, but it ended up being a latte macchiato as expected. With that being said, I thought it was quite good. The lavender was light enough to be noticeable without overpowering the drink, while the honey added just the right amount of sweetness. The espresso was also present, especially on the finish, where it added both flavor and body. My wife also enjoyed her latte and appreciated the tiramisu flavors throughout. Outside of the coffee, we ordered a number of pastries. My wife chose the Crookie, which is a cookie baked on top of a croissant. My son picked out a chocolate-covered Belgian waffle, while my daughter chose the strawberry soft bread. All of them enjoyed what they ordered, and I think my wife especially loved the Crookie. As for me, I went a little overboard and chose a garlic and cheese croissant, a curry croquette, pork-dusted bread, and a sweet taro cream bread. All of them were delicious in their own way. The garlic and cheese croissant was a nice savory option, with plenty of garlic flavor and a crispy cheese crust. The curry croquette had wonderful warming spices that made it especially flavorful. The pork-dusted bread was definitely the most unusual item. The pork topping reminded me of Wild Bill's Beef Jerky, and somehow those savory flavors worked really well on top of the crunchy laminated bread. Last but certainly not least was the taro cream bread. I was impressed by how light it felt despite being packed with an impressive amount of cream filling. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I'm a sucker for bakeries like this and clearly ordered far more than my waistline needed, but everything I tried was enjoyable. While the coffee was good, the pastries are the real reason to visit, with the coffee serving as an excellent complement.

They have two cases of their delicious looking pastries, one table of discounted items, and a case serving hot items. Open that case and serve yourself the hot mini quiches and empanadas. Started with a mini quiche and a beef empanada. Hubby liked his quiche. I'm not a fan of olives and they were all over my beef empanada. Will not be getting that one again. The kind young lady behind the case helped us order our very first Burnt Almond Torte. It comes in different sizes and we chose the bar as it easily serves two. She even gave us sporks to eat it with. We really loved the Burnt Almond Torte. The inside has a soft, moist vanilla cake layered with a thin layer of icing and enrobed with more icing and topped with the buttery, crunchy almonds. We will be back for more.

I started with the quiche and enjoyed it; the crust was just average but the egg filing was very good. My wife was not a fan of the empanada so we will not get that again. It was around 10 hours before we tried our Burnt Almond Torte...wow! That dessert is something that I will eat again, and again. The toasted almonds were soooo good! They were crunchy, crispy, and perfect. The Bar Cake had a white cake inside and icing on the outside; it was heavily coated in those almonds. The person who assisted was knowledgeable about the items to a point; she did not eat anything in the bakery so it was by observation. Don't care, that Burnt Almond Torte is the real deal!

My favorite was the plain bagel; it was beautiful with a perfect crunchy outside, soft fluffy inside, and fantastic flavor; it is easily one of the best bagels I've had, if not the best!

The Cakery is a local business that makes custom and non-custom cakes, cupcakes, pies, cookies, and…read moreother desserts. They even offer some desserts for diabetic and ketogenic diets. I did not need a large, custom order, so I stopped by the business to browse their offerings. I saw two display cases of cakes, bars, brownies, fudges, scones, and cookies, and I saw one refrigerator of cinnamon rolls, banana breads, muffins, etcetera. An employee immediately greeted me, and as I selected my desserts, she carefully placed them in a box for me. She made friendly conversation, accurately rang up my purchase, and kindly thanked me. Here are my reviews for my desserts: Raspberry vanilla cake - $4.25 - 4.5 stars - I bought one slice of white cake that had vanilla frosting and some raspberry filling. The cake was fresh and had tart flavors, and the icing tasted sweet. Cherry pie bar - $3 - 4 stars - This bar contained a top layer of cherries. The flavor of cherries was subtler than I had expected. Apple pie bar - $3 - 3.5 stars - This bar contained a very thin layer of apple. I would recommend adding more apples for more flavor. Lemon pie bar - $3 - 5 stars - This bar had a strong taste of lemon and a nicely crispy crust. Cherry-chocolate scone - $3.25 - 3.5 stars - This scone was a large size. It contained a thin layer of cherries and chocolate chips. 6 various cookies - $5 - I rate the peanut-butter cookie as 4 stars, the sugar-sprinkle cookie as 3.5 stars, the snickerdoodle cookie as 3.5 stars, the chocolate-chip cookie as 3.5 stars, the oatmeal-raisin cookie as 4.5 stars, and the chocolate-cherry cookie as 3.5 stars. Of course, everyone has their own personal taste, but in general, my higher ratings are for the intense flavors.

I am surprised these used to fulfill my order. First time customer, last time customer.

Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup. It was lovely. I had to keep my child from drinking it all! While the wait was long, it was definitely worth it. The space is smaller than I imagined. The food came out fast for how packed it was. It's worth it!

Display cases were full of baked goods such as cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, cruffins, tarts, cakes, breads. I have been to the Mediterranean, and I thought that most of the baked goods here were not Mediterranean. While I waited in a slowly moving line of other customers to order from the bakery, I browsed the shelves in the market. I saw cheeses, bottled beverages such as wines, packaged foods such as grape leaves, and chocolates. I could not find price tags on all foods, so I recommend that those be added. I purchased three baked goods for a total of $15. I rate the croissticky as 5 stars, the cinnamon roll as 3.5 stars, and the raisin-oatmeal cookie as 4 stars.
