Food was good! We got the burritos, conchas, donuts and horchata iced latte! Everything was fresh. The horchata iced coffee was delicious!! Cute indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service was great. read more

nostalgia overdrive here .. place reminds me of those panederias on the other side, such a special gem in this neighborhood. they have all the classic pan dulces and they even do cakes. came here yesterday to get my roscas (kings bread) and waited about an hour due to high demand. little shopping center has limited parking and they are building a mid rise right in front of this property as of now, so the parking / street access is more scarce. definitely worth the wait, walk around and soak up the old san diego feel of golden hill. read more

So the concha was amazing ... the lady that ran the cashier wasnt the nicest ..I asked her if she spoke English and she said no .. then we had a stare off .. hahaha I was like ... um can you finish ringing me up ? I wanted to ask questions but wasnt able to .. the customers behind me were awesome and tried to make light of the situation. I'll go back for the concha with the same angry as the cashier read more

Just saw a review that said their bread is dry, but I have had the opposite experience! No matter what time of day we've come by, the bread is soft and fresh! We absolutely love their doughnuts and their pan con fresa y coco. The space is slightly small but we've been able to squeeze in there with our stroller. The cashiers are always helpful and kind. Can't wait to stop by again! read more

This was seriously the best breakfast burrito I've ever had! I'm vegetarian and don't eat egg so the burrito I got was an amazing option with perfectly seasoned soyrizo, crispy potatoes, and cheese. The mild and spicy salsas were both an excellent pairing with the burrito. I will have to come back to San Diego for this!! read more

I have tried coming here a few times hoping that things are different but they aren't. I'm not sure what the issue is, because this place is a bakery. Every single item I've purchased from corn muffin to donut to biscuits to bread, everything is so incredibly dry. I don't know if the items are leftover from previous days or what but I simply can't try anymore. I'll also mention that pricing isn't consistent. It really depends on who is checking you out... read more

I used to always love coming here to get bread but man these past three times have surprised me because it's not the same as before don't know what's going on or maybe new baker but man i won't be coming back anymore. read more

In honor of Hispanic Heritage month and celebrating Halloween, my office threw a lunch event for our employees. We catered authentic Mexican sweet breads and cakes from Panchita's Bakery and it was such a hit! I called in advance to create a custom order for Halloween decorated Tres Leches Cake, Pan De Muertos and mini Conchas and it was delivered on time, warm and fresh and the decorations exceeded my expectations. Not to mention it was absolutely delicious! The staff even gave me some sticker swag and to go containers for our team to take home. Our employees keep talking about it as the highlight of the afternoon! 100/10 recommend them to cater your next event or make a cake for any special occasion. read more

Been craving some pan dulce while on vacation. Saw this places and stopped to check them out. Glad I did because this place was pretty fire. The first thing I noticed was that the breads are pretty small but thats ok because they are very good tasting. There wasnt really no customer service because its a grab your own bread as a you go. Grab a tray grab some tongs and help yourself. The bread was really good I will say that. Give this place a go. read more

Bread is great. However, I had noticed that the last couple of times I have gotten charged different prices for the same exact things I buy depending on the cashier. I knew something was up. Not to mention, they don't have prices listed like they did back in the day, so I feel like they just charge whatever price they want. Also, they never give you a receipt. Today she actually gave me one and I saw that not only did she overcharge me, she also charged me for something completely different. I went back to tell her and she said, oh I gave you the wrong ticket which didn't make sense because she had already charged me. I've gone where it's $9-12 but today it was $14 for the same things I get. Just be cautious and ask for your receipt! Also, service has really gone down the last couple of years. read more

We have been buying bread for our home in small quantities and in large for events for decades. The flan is incredible! And of course, if you make it before they run out, you'll have to pick up the bollio with melted cheese and jalapeños. My mouth is watering just thinking about the warm bread when it just comes out. The cashiers are always sweet and will check with the bakers in the kitchen if asked for a bread that is not on the display trays. Shoppers are kind and respectful to each other which makes the experience even better. Small quaint bakery. read more

love panchitas! this always hits the spot when craving pan dulce with my coffee. You do have to show up earli-ish around 8-9am to get your fav bread. By 10am its a lot of left overs. They also have a second batch in the afternoon but I think its the same thing, show up early before the good ones are gone. They also finally take card/apple pay! read more

Guy driving a new luxury car: Cuts in front of me in line Me: The line starts in the back. Guy driving a new luxury car: Do you mind if I just ask one question? Me: Go ahead. Guy driving a new luxury car: Did the prices just go up on the bread? Worker: Yes. We posted the new prices here yesterday. Guy driving a new luxury car: So the price doubled? Worker: The new price is $1.75. Guy driving a new luxury car: So the price more than doubled? Worker: Yes the prices went up yesterday. Guy driving a new luxury car: You gave me a ripped up receipt and my wife is pissed the bill was so high. She sent me to find out why we were charged so much. Crowd: Glares at luxury car guy. Guy driving a new luxury car: Leaves in a huff yelling the prices are outrageous here! It was worth waiting an extra few minutes in line to watch luxury car guy lose it over a $1 price increase. I noticed his wife in the illegally parked luxury car. I picked 2 conchas. The white one was fresh and fluffy with a delicious mild sweet flavor. The yellow cocha tasted day old as it was a bit hard and missing the fresh baked flavor. Note to self avoid the concha if there are only 2 left on the rack. Sadly I showed up too early for Pan de Muerto. Worker said they would have some after 2pm. They bake great tasting treats here. Quality control isn't the greatest. They need a day old bread area. In the summer I've seen flies land on stuff. read more

Hands down the best donuts and baked goods in barrio logan. They're open early so it's this perfect place to stop for pastries on the way to work. read more

Wanted to get some local Mexican baked goods and stumbled upon this little bakery! There was a wide selection of baked goods and bread. The staff were super nice and welcoming. The churro was a little cold but still had good sugar/cinnamon. The butterfly pastry cookie was also very buttery and flakey. The apricot empanada was probably the best because there was lots of apricot jam. Loved how it wasn't too sweet and had a nice filling to pastry ratio! read more

Absolutely love Panchitas Bakery! Their bolillos are always the best when you get them fresh crispy on the outside, soft and warm inside. Perfect. Friendly staff and an amazing selection of traditional Mexican pastries make this place a must-visit read more

The best in town bread is always fresh... if you want bolillos get there early! Bread is on the high price but I guess everything costs more now. Their cheesecake is the best and must try read more

Couple of Days ago, I bought some cones filled with cream (30) of them for my grandparents party and and 4 hours after purchasing them they went bad,taste nasty . I called the store but they just said too bad I should've been in fridge before serving them.. And hung up the phone. read more

The greatest of all time mexican bakery! Original location so you know it's real, no flame on growing your business but this is where I will go 10/10 times for the panchitas specials. Quick service, helps if you speak spanish. Cute and tiny interior, you walk in surrounded on all sides by bread like they're robbing you, but you're happy to pay! Local secret, get the queso oaxaca con japaleño bolillo if you can, you won't regret it unless you can't handle the heat :)) read more

The bread is great! The variety is extensive however what they have is what you get unless the have extra bread carts in the back. I usually go for the jalapeño and cream cheese bread it's pretty good my husband likes it. I gave it 4 stars because it's not the best I have tasted but I can almost guarantee it's the best in San Diego. I went in yesterday and found a jericalla in their mini fridge, it was a bit sweet for my taste but the flavor was so authentically delicious with the Mexican cinnamon I was happily surprised. read more

Tend to make it here at least once or twice a month on weekends. The key it to get here earlier than later for the best selection. The bolillos are awesome and even better when fresh. Never had anything I didn't like. It's a small location, but you are here for the pan and not the ambiance. LOL. Service is always fast but friendly. read more

Service needs improvement 4 out 5 times No coffee No hot chocolate in the morning I have stoped by the bakery after 6 pm and definitely no coffee or hot chocolate "chocolate warmer is not working" is what I am always told It's just frustrating in the morning I can't enjoy my favorite cup of coffee in the morning. I have been a customer at panchitas since the 90s I enjoy panchitas very much. By the way Logan and Golden Hill have the same issue read more

Selection, depth of variety, price, and reasonable quality all contribute to me awarding 5 stars to this bakery. I'm generally not a fan of Mexican bakeries, as I don't find their desserts especially sweet, HOWEVER, the texture of the Conchas here (aka cream puffed donuts) and their coconut macaroons are stellar. Even the chocolate chip cookie, which is a basic at Mexican bakeries is better than most. I'll be back!!! read more

Unfortunately I've had to lower my review for Panchitas Bakery. I've been going there since 1997 but lately my past few visits, the pan dulce (sweet bread) has been very dry. What a shame. They must have different bakers or they have changed recipes with not enough either butter, lard or whatever that the bread is dry. My roommate also agrees. Hopefully the owners can test their bread with customers to get their true review. I would not change from 5 stars to 3 unless there was a huge difference in taste--which there is. read more

I always love this place been going there for over 20 years. But today the lady at the register was rude and charge me extra because I had my own coffee thermo but I always put hot chocolate in there. Is not a big thermo and I always get it and get some bread also. And without telling me she charged me twice the amount.!! Paid $16 for 4 conchas and a large chocolate. This has never happened with the other ladies at the register and this is the 2nd time she does this. I'm not happy with her service. Lady if you don't like your job find a different one. I called back to let her know that I wasn't happy with her service and hung up on me!!! -* read more

Great traditional style Mexican bakery. Picking out your treats here is a bit of a different procedure than at other types of bakeries, but very easy once you get the hang of it. You just stop by the entrance to pick up a round metal tray and tongs, then use the tongs to pick your favorites to take over to the register. When I was there, there were quite a few customers (line out the door), but the service was fast and efficient. This is NOT a fancy-style place, but the prices were very reasonable and everything I tried was fresh and delicious. I loved the little pig-shaped cookies (their version is very flavorful), the cheesecake (a different style than you might be used to, less sweet), bread pudding, mango empanadas, and guava empanadas. Caveat: plan ahead. There is no place to eat inside or outside the bakery. If you try to eat these in your car on the way home, you will get half of it on your lap and the other half on the floor of the car! Just sayin'. Also, if you go there and you accidentally buy too much (which i do every time!), most of the items store well in the fridge or freezer. A few seconds in the microwave will make them taste like they are right out of the oven. read more

Definitely a winner if you want Horchata! I was craving it and google led me to this place. It did not disappoint! My complaint is: the paper straw with a plastic cup. SMH. I don't understand the logic. The straw did not last before it began to fall apart. It really does ruin the experience. And lastly, the gal working here was not friendly. We complimented them on having the best horchata and she responds with in an abrupt manner: "That's because we make it right, here." Well, alrighty then. read more

If you want the most delicious Tres Leches cake you've ever had, look no further! At least, that's what I've been told by my husband & everyone else who loves Tres Leches. A Tres Leches cake from here never disappoints. However, the writing on the cake will be a bit DIY-ish if you know what it mean. It is a charming bakery, and they make quality baked goods. Very popular. Always a line when I come, even at night! It's legit. I come at least once a year to buy a cake for my husband who loves it. Be aware, they are CASH ONLY! Plus, parking lot is very very tiny so you might have to park on the street. read more

Zero stars. Dont call it mexican bread please, is not! Mexican bread is fresh, moist, delicious. I bought bread friday evening to bring to soccer game the day after. I got all kinds of sweet bread, conchas, cookies, empanadas, doughnuts.... ALL tasted old and dry. Is a bakery! Come on! All you do is bread and it was disgusting read more

Not knowing it was cash only the first time I was bummed to find out after waiting in the long line. So don't forget cash!!! I have gone now multiple times and at all hours of the day and it's at no surprise the line still awaits me each and every-time so if your in a hurry this is not the place for you. Do to covid you can no longer go inside. Unless you know about what a traditional panaderia is and or all about the breads, pastries, cookies desserts or cakes you will be picking off the number and what you see in the window. You can't really do wrong as they all are amazing especially with a hot cup of coffee. Without explanation of the product for the average person this makes knowing what you want difficult leading to the person holding up the line sometimes. ** Tip:: Watching another customer struggle with what to order the cashier wasn't the friendliest so do a little homework before you go and take a peak at the window selection before jumping in the line. The fruit and or cheese filled pastries will never let you down. The teleras are white bread and great for sandwiches. The pan dulce translates to sweet bread also called concha's are a classic and come in different sizes and a variety of types. They have a bunch of different types of cookies and sweets to satisfy anyone. No mater where you are in San Diego they have multiple locations and if you go you can watch the magic happen in front of you and smell the freshly baked goodies. So wake up early and try a little of everything. ¡Lo amarás! read more
