Winter freeze prep done right...my one and only stop is for some delicious pan dulce! Anytime you arrive later in the day you won't get donuts but thats expected. There were people waiting for fresh bread to come out but if you just wanted what was available on the shelf there was no wait. I grabbed some goodies and was in/out. read more

as I got out of my car and walked to the door of Panifico it smelled like heaven. The aroma was sugary and sweet in the crisp morning air. As I entered the bake shop it was very clean and neatly organized. You help yourself to a silver tray and a pair of tongs. You walk around the room and place what you would like onto your tray. I purchased sweet bread for friends and family. this morning I enjoyed a pumpkin empanada with my coffee and it was so fresh. It was filled generously with pumpkin filling and had just the right amount of spices. I will definitely be returning. It's well worth the drive. Please give it a try soon. read more

Stopped by Panifico Bake Shop for breakfast and had such a lovely experience--even on my own. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a quiet solo morning. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the service was super friendly and attentive. What really made it special was the bakery--they have a beautiful selection of fresh pan dulce. I grabbed a coffee and enjoyed a concha while I relaxed. It's the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy great food, and feel totally comfortable. Definitely coming back! read more

This place is incredible! Such good service! We got a little of everything and it was fantastic! My favorites were the sprinkle cookies, conchas and empanadas. read more

Pastries are to die for, so authentic and yummy! Very inexpensive as well, and lots of variety to choose from.

Staff super friendly. All the bread was fresh and packed in a box. Loved that you can get the bread yourself. read more

Love the chocolate cake, campechanas, cinnamon rolls, little pies, cheese cakes. Service is self serve with friendly cashiers.

Went specifically for Spurs themed donuts in the welcoming of Wembanyama and just like that they sold out quick at the 10 o'clock hour! That's ok, we still had other goodies so it wasn't a blank trip. But Amelia can through - she told me there was a batch of the Spurs colored donuts coming out, so I waited. Repeat customer here! read more

This is the best pan dulce ever. I had been looking for a good Concha when I came across a list of top places and chose this bakery. I went nuts; concha's, empanadas, croissants, cuernitos, donuts and much more. The coffee always perfect. My family ate it all up. Worth going out of your way. I find putting them in the microwave for about 20 seconds leaves them soft and warm. read more

Awesome fresh baked sueet bread!! I come early to snatch up the fresh baked goods for my coworkers. The trays are always full and keep coming from back ready to go! Be here early to get special or seasonal items, early bird gets the worm. They even offer a military discount, Thank you! Been coming here for years & never any complaints. Great job Panifico! read more

Best place to get sweet bread in San Antonio. They never have disappointed! Fresh products and friendly service.

I've been here a bunch of times. Started coming during the World Cup. Always happy with the selections of goodies. My daughter, (she & her love are my "unicorns"), living in The Netherlands, is pregnant with my first granddaughter. So, we are having a virtual baby shower here back home for her. We call the baby a little mermaid. So, when Panifico Bake Shop started having mermaid & unicorn goodies I knew I'd have to have them for the shower. Today I got a great little pack of unicorn & mermaid goodies to try out. Can't wait. I can't ever eat all the goodies in a day. So, I can say with all honesty, after refrigerating the goodies, they're still good a day or two later. The staff is always sweet & helpful. read more

The con has were very dry and lacked flavor. I also got some very small cookies and they were almost $3 each! The normal round ones were 80 cents but because I got 2 shaped like hearts they price gauged me. I will never go back. All show and no quality. read more

Panifico Bake Shop - Conchas and marranitos - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Magical. Stupendous. Fantastic. In the Valley, one of my favorite things was to go with my dad to the local panaderia and pick out conchas, rainbow sprinkled cookies, marranitos, etc. Panifico recaptures that magic and adds even more with their special treats like the unicorn concha, unicorn donuts, and my personal favorite, the galaxy donuts. The flavors are great, it reminds me exactly of home. You want to dunk it all in coffee and spend your afternoon discussing the latest chisme with your tias. The staff is incredibly helpful and patient. I usually take a few minutes to stand in wonder with my tongs before selecting my pastries. Prices? You're not going to find pan dulce of this quality for as cheap as this (again, unless you're in the Valley). They also sell their tortillas in-store! How do you like them apples? They also have a very easy to use ordering system online, so I was able to purchase unicorn conchas to take to work last year. Everyone got a kick out of the beautiful colors. Leftovers were taken home and made into Concha Burgers. It was worth getting up extra early and driving over there when some unicorn donuts and galaxy donuts came out. They're absolutely stunning and photogenic, and I hope to one day pick up more. This panaderia's special items sell out FAST though, so either order ahead or get there as soon as it opens to nab your colorful goodies. read more

This bakery has the best tasting Mexican sweet bread. It's always fresh. The donuts are delicious. Really all their bread is so good.

If your social media account is packed with gorgeous photos of uni-conchas, galaxy donuts, and colorful pan dulce, I expect to actually find that in store. Unfortunately, the selection here when I visited was comprised entirely of traditional Mexican bakery stock, aside from a lone tray of glazed Spurs donuts, which may have only been available because they played the night before. Even the pan dulce were only available in yellow frosting. I was surprised and not in a pleasant way. Even of the traditional options, only pineapple empandas were in stock, and this was going in the morning when selection should be best. Don't get me wrong, the treats I got were tasty, particularly the super-moist breakfast muffins with pecans. But their online presence creates an expectation they do not fulfill. Maybe the items they feature online are limited-run specials, but that needs to be clear because right now it's more like misrepresentation. TIP: If you're familiar with the area then you already know not to expect the staff to speak English. They are very polite though. Take cash or spend +$5 to use a card. read more

We purchased a variety of items. The bakery is your traditional Mexican bakery and absolutely delicious. We had a pink cookie, the coconut raspberry jelly roll, pineapple empanada, concha. Everything was delicious. I would highly recommend them and we will be back. read more

Panifico is a GEM. After months of seeing posts featuring their Uniconchas, galaxy donuts, and Spurs themed donuts, I finally made the trek out. I expected to fall into a hip lil shop like most of the others that boast treats with a similar aesthetic, but we would up at a super unassuming shop on the far West side. Stepping in, it looked like most other panaderias except for some sparse décor. There was a nice backdrop of paper flowers would've made for a cute photo op were it not so crowded and a huge unicorn tube blown up to celebrate the magical donuts in special that weekend. We grabbed a set of tongs and a tray from the entrance and started picking out all our treats, what was initially a mission for a couple donuts wound up as a piled with a half dozen, a couple of their Uniconchas, and tonsSs of the various cookies all over the store. I was dreading the price tag cashing out but what was essentially a pizza tray full of treats only came out to about $7 and change!!! During our ten or so minutes in the store we saw countless trays of fresh baked treats being brought out from the kitchen and peeking in, everything looked so spotless. Now the most important part, how did it taste? In short, fantastic. Literally no complaints and the galaxy donuts may be some of the best I've had anywhere. The shop is about a 25 minute drive from my place on the NE side but I foresee a lot of visits in the future. read more

They had a big selection even though some of their shelves were empty. The woman at the register (the only employee present when I went) was not very friendly; when to her that I didn't know any of the pastries and asked which were the most preferred by the general public and which she suggested she simply remarked that they all sell out and that different people like different things, respectively. I also asked about several of the pastries (since they did not all have visible or descriptive signs) and she was aloof overall. I ended up choosing a large array which totaled to less than $7 which is a good price. Unfortunately I do not know the name of all in order to post individual comments for all but most were a lot milder than expected (were inly mildly sweet). -pecan cookie: tasted like a basic cookie, did not taste the pecans. Would pass. -tres leches cookie: good. Recommend. -cheese filled crystal sugar topped pastry: one of my top two. Tastes like butter cookies with cream cheese filling. Recommend. -bread pudding: the other of my top two. Not too sweet but very thick and filling. Recommend. -chocolate cake: the topping/frosting was way too sweet for my liking, I ended up peeling it off and tossing. The cake is your standard chocolate cake. This is my first time having Mexican pastries so I cannot comment as to how authentic they are and how they taste compared to most. All I can say is that I was not a fan of most the pastries due to the very mild flavors and mostly bready consistency. read more

Finally came here based on the great reviews. Finding an excellent panaderia is sometimes hard. This one definitely is on the top of my list. Unfortunately a little far from where I live, but if you're craving mexican sweet bread, definitely worth the commute. The pastries are fresh and definitely delicious. I've tried a few other panaderias in San Antonio where they had days-old sweets. Not here. I tried a chamuco, ojo, chocolate polvoron, and a few other cookies. All were DELICIOUS! Next time I'll definitely get more items! read more

Something changed and not for the better. The customer service this morning was horrible. The donuts are dry and the prices went up by a lot. We used to love this place but whatever changed is going to be the reason we will never return. read more

My daughter and I love Panifico! It's our typical Friday morning stop before we start our day. The treats are always fresh and delicious. I personally love biting into the donuts and not feeling overwhelmed with sweetness, the taste is just right. My daughter loves the conchas and the fact that we can walk in and serve ourselves; our trip is usually in and out. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and they also offer rewards. We love Panifico! read more

There are several sweet bread places throughout the city, all have there specialty. This place I remember them for there conchas & unique decoration. We parked & the smell outside from the bakery of the bread being cooked was overwhelming & I wanted everything. You walk in get your tray & tongues & it's free for all to get what ever you want. They had Mardi Gras theme bread. If you get a chance go check this bakery out. read more

Literally the best panaderia I go to. I love that ramonas is next to it and you can have breakfast with some tasty pan.

Stoped here for the 1st time. After seeing they had pride/colorful pastries on their ig page for pride month. Was super excited to grab some things. To gift my brother. I show up to them not having any of the items available. Which was a definite bummer considering I specifically went to this shop for them. And it was a bit of a drive cause it's not in my area. I probably wont be back to try anything. read more

On of my favorite places ever for treats! Authentic pastry and sweets for everyday, holidays and special events in your life.

Everything is so good and its also so CHEAP! I got a tray full of items and it all came out to be only 8 dollars!!

I went to the Panifico a few months ago for the Spurs donut! I have never been to this Panaderia prior to this and I loved it! They have a variety of pastries and pan dulce. I got also the cinammon rolls and the conchas and they didn't disappoint. They also do colorful conchas, galaxy donuts and uniconchas. This is a hidden gem in San Antonio and it's a must for anyone who wants to experience what a Panaderia is. The lady who helped me that day at the register was a bit rude but I still give them 5 stars since the pan dulce is really good. I'd recommend you pay them a visit. read more

I won't lie to you. I am not pan dulce savvy at all. I've barely had any and the first time I had some was about a week ago. At that time I wasn't very impressed. When it comes to pastries my mouth craves desserts. I'm not talking about just dusting a loaf of bread off with some powdered sugar. I'm talking about sprinkles, melted chocolate, and cream filling with strawberries on top. So far it seems like the vast majority of pan dulce is just sugar glazed bread. The bread here was not much different. Seems like I didn't find what I was looking for right? WRONG! There was plenty of pan dulce here that were filled with jams and creams. Unfortunately, for some odd reason, I opted to choose the ones that wouldn't truly satisfy me. So how come I gave this place 5 stars? Good question. Well my friend and I both came here because I've heard good things about it. We selected our pastries. I got 4 different things and he got 4 of his own. Well. I waited behind my buddy in line to pay and the lady said his 4 things cost $3 and they had a $5 minimum for credit cards. We both looked at each other mouthing "What the fanifico bake shop? Can this be real? So cheap!" He said he would just buy mine too then. It came out to be $5.65. Not just my bread but both of ours combined came out to $5.65. WHAT A DEAL! I bought two pieces of bread at La Panaderia and it came out to $6! You tellin me you gon give me a full two bags of bread for $5!?! Bro. Sis. This bread didn't rock my world or anything like that but you can't beat the prices. If it were closer to me I'd go there every time I wanted to carbo load or just feed a hundred people. If I'm ever in the area and craving some pan dulce I will definitely come here! read more

Heyyyyy! Hello, my name is Allison and I love a baked good!!!! Five stars for this local bakery!!!! My son and I went on a Saturday afternoon, and we were pleased with their selection! We got all kinds of baked goodies (most of which I don't know the names). Everything that we tried was fresh and good! Try this place out! You won't be disappointed! read more

This is guaranteed the best panaderia in San Antonio. Panifico is a westside gem! You won't find authentic Mexican pan dulce like this anywhere else in the city. It seems like a lot of people don't know about this place, which is fine with me. It is very clean inside and they have a wide selection of pan dulce, bolillos, doughnuts, cake, flan, mini pies, and cookies! The self-serve setup reminds me a lot of the bakeries in Mexico with the exact same silver metal trays and tongs. The best part is that it's cheap so you can go crazy and try everything! read more
