    Seasonal pumpkin pie concha 10/10
    Kiki H.

    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!

    I went for the tik tok famous filled conchas (sp?) and they were good We got other stuff they have traditionally mexican breads and a cute young man with glasses with great math skills looks family owned and operated. Highly recommend

    STAHHHP ITTTTT because the pumpkin cheesecake conchas are to die for!!!! Seasonal, of course but definitely worth waiting in line, outside with the sun beaming down on us!! Stumbled across a video on IG the day before we came into town and so glad I did because this will be living in my head, rent free until I go back to town.

    Some variety of conchas, the viral pumpkins cheesecake concha, ojo de guey and a delicious crispy oreja. All 10 out of 10!

    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.

    You already know why was brought us here! We had to get the Pumpkin Cheesecake Concha! It was to die for, we also bought some bolios, very yummy. I will be coming back to this spot in SD, it's also very close to Chicano Park. Might as well stop and grab a bite to walk around the park! The shop owners were very nice!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Stumbled across this gem! The Oaxaca, ham, jalapeño bread was super tasty for breakfast. Also a ton of different other sweet pastries to try. Felipe was welcoming and fun to chat with. Love this place

    This is the bag and some pictures of how dirty the bag was I wasn't paying attention because I had my 3 yr old with me and she was crying

    I went to this bakery to buy bolillo and I was so disappointed she gave me the bolillo in a smart and final bag didn't notice until I got home and bag was filthy dirty

    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.

Very cute inside, with some Strawberry Shortcake theme decor. Unfortunately first impression with the service was not very good. The person seemed very unenthusiastic, didn't smile, or seem welcoming. It's possible we just went on and off day. Since we were there I did get some of the mini cupcakes to try. One was a Snickers chocolate cupcake and the other was a Strawberry Shortcake cupcake. They both tasted good, but nothing really spectacular that I would have to go back for. The Snickers one tasted basically like a regular chocolate cupcake with a miniature sneaker placed on top. The Strawberry Shortcake one had some type of strawberry crumble on top which was good. I would say that was my favorite of the two. If you come on Tuesday they are $2 for the cupcakes, so something to keep in mind. They have a variety of other desserts and even drinks as well. They have caramel apples, Sundays, different cakes, Etc. If you're already in the mall it might be worth the quick peek to see if anything appeals to you. If anything just for a few cute photo ops.

My name was spelled properly, a short conversation reassured my dessert choice, and as I walked up to retrieve my dessert, the lady met me halfway with a smile (thank you for wrapping so it didn't fall over). 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. The boysenberry was the perfect separation for the waves of chocolate and the subtle crunch of the hazelnut toffee type of layer on the very top.
