I'm so glad my colleagues at Skyline High School told me about this fantastic bakery! I purchased four dozen pan dulce for my students on Monday. They loved every bite of them! Arturo is a kind man and great baker! read more

I was looking around for concha catering and came across Pena's Bakery! They were the first to respond from the few that I called and i'm glad they did! The conchas were so soft and delicious. We bought around 400 regular sized conchas for a great price. The service was great, price was right, and conchas were delicious. They offered vanilla, chocolate and another yellow option that was yummy. Everyone absolutely loved them! We'll definitely be catering from them again. Parking in the area is a bit complicated so arrive with enough time to locate a spot. The location is also a little hole in the wall, hard to spot if you're not keeping your eyes peeled! I also bought a few of their other options to try myself. Don't skip out on the cheesecake! So yummy! read more

The pan dulce OK at best. Find a pricey for what it is. But the flavor... Just OK. And oddly, my cookie taste a bit like Carnitas? Wondering if they are cooked in the same area without proper cleaning. Very odd taste. read more

Delicious Authentic Mexican Bread!! I will not eat sweet bread from anywhere else but this place!! Not even from the 2 other Peñas bakeries they have in Oakland. Only this place!! Try their chocolate conchas or powder covered cones with sweet cream inside. Super delicious. Cash or card. read more

I wanted to bring some pan to my daughter's class for Dia de los Muertos. I called and was able to place an order over the phone to pick up the day of her presentation. Delicious, warm and devoured by all the kids who now know and love pan de muerto. I got myself a few conchas in the order as well and what can I say, honestly the best pan I have had in years! Thank you Yelp for pointing me here. Such a great bakery. read more

Peña's Bakery - Outside - Bakeries Near Me - Oakland, California

They overcharge you!! I got four pieces of bread and when I asked for the receipt they hesitated and the reason why is because they overcharged me! Never coming back read more

Peña's Bakery - Over charged me. I only got four pieces of bread and I did not get any tea or coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Oakland, California

The authenticity and freshness of their baked goods are top notch, I enjoy the wide selection of cookies, filled pastries, and other sweet treats, but do have some minor issues with this particular location. Customer service is great here, cleanliness is never an issue, but I have noticed that they tend to skimp on the amount of filling that they put inside of their empanadas; they have a great flavor, they just need a good ratio of bread to fruit/custard, if it doesn't balance they tend to be too dry. read more

Pena's Bakery offers a cornucopia of wonderful Mexican baked treats. From pan dulce to empanadas to turnovers to crossover items (snoballs, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies), every item is wonderfully baked to perfection. Having three of their locations within a mile from my house is just AWESOME. I love you like a fat kid loves cake. Yikes, better hit the treadmill. read more

Pena's is nearby Taqueria Reynoso. this may also be the mothership of the other Pena on International. bsked goods are in enclosed cabinets and behind the counter. the self serve ones are the cheaper ones.(.60) eats: picked 3 at random -a pretzel looking one, a chocolate cross bun looking onee & ? all tasted a bit dry, bland, not sweet at all. the baked goods (same owner)on international were semi-sweet crumbs: -bemused service by amigo:looked like he wanted to say "what you are doing here?" -baked goods were pretty big.(behind the counter ones smaller). -guess i'll stick to the international location. read more

This place is great AND so delicious! I was there nice and early on a Saturday and you can smell the baked goods from a block away. I had to wait a few minutes for conchas because they werent quite ready but it was truly worth the wait!!! I ate one straight out of the oven, it was perfection. The woman working there was really friendly as well. So if you need cochas I would call ahead to make sure they are ready, otherwise they have a huge selection of other items. read more

Peña's Bakery - Fresh conchas! - Bakeries Near Me - Oakland, California

Best pan dulce in the Bay Area . It's a small family owned business located on the corner of foothill and 34th ave . You can always count on great customer service , and awesome bread at a reasonable price (most breads are under a dollar) The empanadas are a must in this place read more

I love Pena's! Best Mexican bakery in Oakland! I go here when I'm at work in Oakland. I'm going to miss them when I retire!

ok... i went to CDMX and so granted i can no longer say best en el mundo (bc theres better pan dulce in mexico...) ‍ but this spot is still the best in the bay area so 5 stars still. also theyre nice as hell and have been a staple in fruitvale clean n delicioso - grab a canasta de piña or an empanada guayaba o maybe camote ?? read more

Peña's bakery on foothill was a disappointment bread was stale bought $ 11 worth, will not be going there again. The Peña's bakery on International bread always fresh. read more

I'm basing my review off one particular item that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I don't know what it's called but it's a light yellow sponge cake with the top criss-crossed in a diamond shape with custard. It's not too sweet and it's moist, never dry. I'll try the pan dulce some other time but I just come here to get my fix. It's part of my taco night routine with Taqueria Reynoso. Peña's provides the dessert. *Cash only* read more

I was never able to get up early enough to get this stuff super hot fresh in the morning. I only made it in after work. Still, there were plenty of pan dulces to choose from. I, of course, loaded up on hella conchas. After picking up my pal from the BART station, we made a pit stop for milk (I'd forgotten to get it at Pena's) and grubbed on the conchas while sitting in Bay Bridge traffic. We made a bit of mess in the car but those Pena's conchas kept us from starving on the way into the city. Grab a tray, grab some tongs, and load up for the ride home. read more

You'd never noticed this shop if you weren't looking for it. It's not in a business strip, it's not particularly stylish, it looks like a small family-run but not-very-interesting bakery. It is a small family-run bakery, but the unassuming setting has the best Pan Dulce in the Bay Area. For those who don't know, pan dulce is slightly sweet, slightly chewy bread/rolls, usually with sugary decorative topping. Pena's Pan Dulce is super-fresh, fluffy, lightly sweetened (and not too much!). It's what all Pan Dulce aspires to be. There's a variety of Pan Dulce types, and though they do a variety here, Pena's specialty is "conchas"; eggy rolls with colored sugar on top. They're so light and fresh they almost melt in your mouth. Great with coffee for breakfast, great as a snack, sweet enough to be a light dessert with fruit, not so sweet that it'll send you on a sugar bender. read more

i didnt like pan dulce until ive tried pena's. my sister brought some home for me and ive been going back since! too bad i don't know the names of all the different types of pan dulce! this is located on a busy part of foothill and parking may be difficult during peak hours. the lady who works behind the counter is pretty friendly, i caught her dancing to the music playing in the background. i dont think she knows too much english. there were some problems with communication during my visits. thats not going to stop me from coming here though! i believe theyre closed on sundays. read more

Amazing! Everything I've gotten from here has been fresh and delicious! Some places have conchas that are a little stale, but the conchas from Peñas were so soft! I also love the empanadas and highly recommend picking some up if you go, because they are fantastic. The prices are also reasonable (less than a dollar for most things) so don't be afraid to try a little of everything. You won't be disappointed! Parking is a little tricky, though, since there's no lot. Just park at the Walgreens across the street. Oh, and they do accept card, though there's a small charge. The workers are bilingual (at least the ones I've talked to) so if you're an English speaker looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, don't worry about a language barrier. (Though if you know some Spanish, I encourage you to practice!) read more

Hands down the best panaderia in the East Bay. I'm from Houston and Mexican sweet bread is HUGE there; Pena's Bakery is on par with some Mexican bakeries in Houston. Tasty, cheap and good staff service read more

Place is very clean. Pan Dulce looked nice. Arrived there about 6 pm and their shelves were full of pan.. Tasted like it was baked the day before. Did not taste fresh. They're pricey. But don't mind paying top $$$ if pan is fresh, tasty and high quality read more

It's the same fresh and tasty pan dulce as Peña's #2 on International Blvd. Today I went in to grab some pan (a chilindrina and a puerquito - deliciosos!) and a coffee before heading over to the little park on Fruitvale to read. The very nice woman behind the counter, apparently noticing that I had a bicycle helmet on, offered to put a piece of tape over the hole in the coffee lid so it wouldn't spill. Most people just aren't that thoughtful and it just made me appreciate Peña's even more. read more

Huge assortment of fresh pan dulce! Something for everyone. My only complaint is that I buy too much and then I try to eat it all at once.

Place is amazing. Best coffee in the fruitvale hands down. Pastries are delicious and fresh. Tried other places in the area and they do not compare. I come here every week without fail. read more

The best bread ever...... Of all the pena's bakery locations this one is by far the best. The bread is always super fresh. The variety is never scarce. The woman who is usually behind the counter is super cool! Although the gallon of milk is over priced and so is the chocolate Ibarra, it is convenient that they have it in stock! read more

best pan dulce ever.....piggies, ears (orejas) and conchas ..right on Foothill and family owned
