Came here as a second resort as the panadería next to my home ran out of bolillo. It was close to closing time but they luckily still had some. It was great for tortas, if I weren't in a rush I would take more time to look around and pick some pan Dulce. Service itself was bland. read more

The Pumpkin Concha's have lived up to the hype. Saw someone post these last month in September and knew I had to come down to try them. I was concerned that I wouldn't make it in time as I arrived to Panadería La Buena around 11 or so on the weekend. Nope, I was able to score two and with no line. Very small and intimate panadería. Here you ask the to pick your bread rather than self picking. I got my concha's and they were warmed up. If you are a pumpkin lover then this one is for you. The outside of the concha was warmed up, with then a pumpkin + cheese filling. They did a great job with this concha fall rollout! read more

Cute little shop off imperial ave. Feels very home-y. I went of course for the pumpkin cream cheese concha which did not disappoint in the slightest. It might just be my favorite fall dessert this season. The gentleman working the shop was very kind and quick with the service. While the pumpkin concha was $5, I also got a vanilla one, only $1.50. Great prices the only downside is parking can be difficult as it is downtown. read more

Panaderia La Buena - Pumpkin cream cheese concha and vanilla concha - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Tried this place for the first time and wow I was impressed! Very friendly people. It smelled delicious. I saw the pumpkin concha on Instagram and wanted to try it. I was expecting it to be good but overhyped. I was wrong. It is amazing!! I also tried the vanilla concha (very good but a little too dense for me) and the cinammon roll (super good, with some unique or high quality cinnamon that really took it to the next level.) Definitely will be back! read more

Delicious bread. Fluffy and fresh. Efficient quick service and reasonable prices. The viral pumping cheesecake concha is what brought me here but to be honest the regular bread is even more incredible. Wide variety to pick and choose from and the taste was amazing I couldn't wait to get home to share with my family with some coffee. read more

Not a lot of available parking out front. A tiny bakery, the aroma was like a grandmother's kitchen. Display of desserts was simple and there was a good variety. I only went for the pumpkin filled concha. It was good but not the best I've had. Worth a try for something different. read more

Man... I don't even usually leave reviews, but I had to show love to Panadería La Buena on Imperial. Didn't even touch my coffee, no leche nada (and I got one too) didn't talk, just sat there fully zoned in on this thing . It's soft, super moist (not dry like some spots), and the flavor hits just right. The pumpkin is rich but not too sweet & with the crema in the middle, gasolina. Definitely one of the best conchas I've had in SD, hands down!! read more

They have all the yummy Mexican goods. Cash or card. Was looking all over for bolillos and found them here.

It's almost Dia de los Muertos.  I like to have some Pan de Muerto to celebrate.  This year I found some at Panderia La Buena.  Bakery reminds me of bakeries I visited when I was a kid.  Nothing fancy.  Just the colorful treats and the fresh baked aroma to entice you to buy.  The lady in charge was nice and helpful with getting my treats. Concha decorated like a pumpkin was fluffy with a sugary top.  Bread part had a nice fresh mild flavor with a good amount of sweetness from the top.  Cute and tasty. Pan de Muertos was fluffy with lots of sugar on top.  Like the concha the bread part had a nice mild flavor with a good amount of sweetness from the top. The Pan de Muertos and the concha were similar bread base and I loved them both.  I'll have to return and try more treats here. Dia de los Muertos is celebrated November 1 and 2.  November 1 is a day to remember children while November 2 is to honor adults. read more

This place was recommended to me, and I am highly disappointed. I came in on a Friday at around 10am and the "viral" breads we came to try were sold out but we gave them a chance since the reviews and our friend told us so much about it. I must've came on a bad day because I spent 10 bucks on four breads and three out of the four were dry and definitely not fresh. The lady that helped me kept rushing me and kept asking "What can I get for you", after I told her I needed a second because I couldn't see due to the people that were standing in front of me. I was twisting my neck standing on my tippy toes, trying to see, but couldn't make a selection from where I was in line. Place wasn't busy at the moment either as I was last in line. The place is pretty small. Bread did look pretty from a far but once we got home to eat it, it was so dry. I wont be making the trip again from Chula Vista. A tip if you're thinking about trying it. Feel your bread before you walk out to assure it's fresh. read more

Believe the hype. The pumpkin conchas are definitely worth the money. They are not overly sweet and extremely fluffy. My co-workers loved them. Dicen mis compañeros del trabajo que están RIQUÍSIMOS! El pan no esta nada de seco y el relleno no está empalagoso. Ojalá que hagan de otras variedad porque sí se merecen el premio. Muchas gracias! Thank you so much! read more

The lady and her son were super friendly and very quick! We got the Pumpkin Conchas and they were delicious! I drove all the way from Orange to San Diego for these and I'd do it again! Such a wonderful place! read more

Do not let the area keep you from going!! Everyone who works here is so friendly and kind! My friend and I went for their pumpkin cheesecake concha and it was to die for!! Brings back so many childhood memories! YUM YUM YUM! Felt like I was in my grandmas kitchen! read more

Great customer service, owner is also so kind! I got the cheese Jalapeño torta, chorizo torta and two SDSU concha's, soo good!!

Sooo good. Friendly folks walked us through each bakery item, were funny, and were great folks to start the day with. We got a few pastries, on with a pineapple filling and the other cheesecake, but our favorites were the oaxaca and jalapeño bread, and a bread with custard were our favorites! read more

The worse cake I've ever had in my life! My mom ordered a tres leches cake with peaches filling. My sister went to pick up the cake the day of our event 9/28/24 just to find out they were delayed and used the wrong frosting. My sister had to come back a second time then they said they had to re do the cake because they messed up the filling!!!! Not to mention how they wrote the Happy Birthday and the Names! They couldn't even center the lettering correctly on the cake to fit the space! The cake was so dry and tasteless I had no idea it was supposed to be a tres leches cake until my mom told me today!! That's the cake we had to serve our guests because it was so late to go buy another one somewhere else. Will never come back to this "Bakery" 0 stars for this place!! read more

Bread was good but I guess only thing that was odd, you had to view bread from afar. If you don't know your Mexican breads this could be an issue read more

This is the first time we try this bakery. I bought a large rosca and it was extremely dry and the bread had no flavor.

Pan Dulce was good! Service was good. Prices are very reasonable. The only issue (and this was brought up by another reviewer) is that the bread is about 7 feet from the counter and there is no self-service, something I personally prefer. So you can't really tell was what exactly you're choosing, unless, of course, you really know your Pan Dulce! That being said, they had some bread types that I really wasn't familiar with. I personally am not a fan of the "white bread" they use in their conchas. Much prefer the coarser yellow type, but that's just my preference. Overall, a good panaderia to go to. I personally prefer the pan dulce from El Super in National City, but dislike going there because it's always so busy! read more

The bread was good but I can tell it wasn't fresh, they were a little hard. So it was probably left over bread from the day before.

I ordered a cake on Saturday for my Gender Reveal Party. It was so yummy!! It was a two-tier cake. The bottom was chocolate with strawberry and banana filling and the top was chocolate with Nutella. The cake was beautifully decorated and they exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this place for any event and the pan is out of this world. They always provide a great service when I go there. read more

I would give this bakery 10 stars if it was possible. We found this place while vacationing in San Diego. Felipe the owner is a great person and we fell in love with the conchas. The baked goods were so good that we stopped in and bought goodies for the road back to Arizona! Gracias Felipe. Francisco read more
