I have been going to Sonora for years and have always found their products to be delicious, which is why I'm giving it three stars. Today is my mom's birthday so I went to Sonora's like times before and got a beautiful red velvet cake with fruit stacked high. I would absolutely give this cake one star because for $48 I think a cake should be delicious. This cake was not at all appetizing, the flavor was disgusting. We had to throw it away no one could eat it, I was very disappointed. read more

I think they should put a label with the name on the bread & a price. Because the lady's get upset when you ask about the prices.

I come to this place all the time for their bolillo bread and the swirly pink coconut bread and it's usually good. Today I went and got two of the swirly pink rolls (one for today and one for tomorrow morning because they usually still taste good next day). I paid and walked back to my car with my boyfriend and as he turned on the car I took a bite of the roll. It was the stalest bread I ever had. Idk how long they must've had that bread sitting there for it taste so stale and dry given the fact I've had it day old and it never tasted this stale so this must've been like 2 days old for sure. I have this bread all the time so I know what it should taste like and this wasn't it. I got out of the car and went back to get a refund or switch it out with something else. I didn't want to embarrass them in-front of their other costumers because I liked this place so much and didn't want to ruin their business over something easily resolvable so I had my boyfriend discretely call over the manager to let them know the bread was stale since I don't speak Spanish. He told my boyfriend that he was not allowed to give refunds or exchanges per the owners orders. He didn't even look at the bread or apologize for such shitty quality we were given. He said once the bread leaves the door they don't give refunds. Are you joking? I literally walked back in less than 1 minute later and they knew that. Im not even mad about the bread anymore I'm just mad at how they handle themselves over their shitty quality food and they would rather lose a loyal customer then resolve their mistake. I hope those 3 dollars were worth this bad review. Here is a picture of the stale bread they tried to sell off as "fresh" read more

This bakery is awesome and sooo accommodating. I dealt with them twice this week. On Wednesday, I ordered a sheet of coffee cake for my office . I asked them to have it ready at 5:30am on Thursday, so I could pick it up on my way to work. It was ready! My co-workers loved it! They kept asking where I got it from. On Saturday, they delivered a cake to the venue for my best friend's wedding. The venue staff mistakenly directed the delivery man to the wrong event. He was so patient in finding the correct event. Poor guy! But he found us! The cake was made as specified: three tiers, three different cake flavors, ombré style....beautiful. Thank you sooo much to the bakers, cake decorators, delivery driver, and owner. You are appreciated. read more

I found this place through yelp and decided to give it a try. I absolutely loved it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a cake done their way. I personally am very picky and this place definitely works well with their customers to make their vision happen. The staff is very kind and hard working. I've ordered various cakes here and all of them have been beautiful. The price is appropriate for the quality of their work (: Parking is never an issue since they have their own parking lot. Overall 5 stars read more

Stopped by on way to work because of Yelp reviews & glad I did. Prices seem reasonable with everything. I was more interested in the Empanadas and got what I expected. Good snack size and full of flavor. Staff were friendly & helpful read more

Customer service is always an issue at this bakery. I o my come here when it is the last resort. Today for instance I went in because I really wanted an orange juice, they had one person at register while there was a line. I waited and waited and never even saw one person telling me we'll be right out with your juice or even a sorry for the wait. After 20 minutes I walked out. read more

I ordered a fruit tart on Friday, May 29, 2021 because they (Sonora bakery) had run out of the 'galleta type of fruit tart' and paid for it in full. The lady who attended me was very helfpul and after I asked her questions about me picking up of the order the next day, she told me that since I had already paid for it in full and was providing me with the receipt, to just arrive the next day (Saturday, May 30, 2021) to pick it up at my scheduled 10am time and let the staff member at the door know . I specifically asked her if I had to make line the next day and she said 'no' because it was an order, had paid in full and had the receipt to prove it...so going by what she told me, the next day: there was obviously a long line due to covid19 protocol and all that but I waited for a staff member to open the door and told him that I had a receipt and was just there to pick up my order. He then told me to make line like everyone else and wait for my turn, to which I told him, what the lady the day before had told me. He told me to wait and that he couldn't let me in etc, make line, etc..to which by that point he went inside to call for another staff member. This lady was super rude, had an attitude with me and told me that it was fair I wait like everyone else. I told her, no, it's not fair you want me to wait when I specifically asked pick up order questions the day before and got very different answers to what she was telling me. By that point I asked for my $$ back or my fruit tart because I wasn't going to make line and offered a few suggestions to her: for all the panaderia staff members to have a meeting about avoiding confusion with clients for when buying bread or just picking up an order (whether a cake, fruit tart, etc.). The other suggestion I made was for them to have a separate line (obviously following Covid19 protocols) for just pick-up of orders. Anywho, I was already irritated by her attitude and them going around the bush wasting my time to either give me my fruit tart or my $$ back. She was really rude, extremely bad customer service and then she called her manager. Her manager also gave me a hard time and still wanted me to wait while they figured out what to do and probably ask who knows who, about my situation. They provided extremely bad customer service to me and at the end, I'm glad I got my $$ back instead of the fruit tart because the small one I had purchased the day before was just pure cake frosting for the base covered by fruit, to which in the pictures looks like it has a lot of fruit but in reality doesn't and is just an illusion! I've had better fruit tart elsewhere and definitely do not recommend this panaderia because they really need to work on their customer service skills AND how they handle unhappy customers. To them I say again: please fix your pick up order situation for those not buying 'pan' and just picking up. In the end, the only thanks I give, after wasting 15min. of my time with them, is for returning my $$ because if they wouldn't have, I was ready to call the police. Never again buying from them (Sonora Bakery) and definitely not recommending this panaderia to anyone. #nosedejen #providebettercustomerservice #rudeemployees #fruittartisntgood read more

My review is based on the cakes because this is where I always order them , their cakes are soooo good , and the price is really good , tbh the price does sound like it's a lot but trust me you're paying for what you're taking home , I've came with crazy ideas for cakes and they've never told me they can't do it , my guest always compliment on the cake. read more

Muy buen pan, lastima de atencion al cliente caras largas de mal humor y groseras

There pastries and bread are great if you don't mind bad customer service. I decided to give them another chance and again they fail me. I emailed my dissatisfaction to their company and no one ever replied. They shouldn't take orders over the phone if they are not going to fulfill them. Or off they are going to have a problem with them. This second incident I ordered a cake a 2 in the afternoon yesterday. To pick up today at 6:15 am. I get here there is no cake. There is order. I took down the name of thee person just in case and still no cake!! This is for a birthday!!! If you are not going to be able to fulfill the phone order don't take them!!! This is disappointing and bad service. First incident. I ordered a cake a large subway sandwich. I again get here early in the morning. It is a bakery!!! I am greeted with a scowl by the two ladies here. My sub is not ready. My cake is not ready. The ladies start to complain to me that the pick up is too early. That no one should have taken this order. They are complaining to a paying customer. Who ordered the previous day and who no one mentioned anything about a) not taking the order and b) pick up being too early. This unfortunately will be my last time here. I can not deal with a business who does not take care of their customers. And whose employees complain and scowl to their customers. If you do come here make sure you go in and get a copy of your order. Don't trust phone orders. It won't happen. read more

The bread there is good. The jalapeño cheese breads are delicious. Ive ordered cakes here on various occasions and its a hit and miss. At times I get exactly what I ordered and the cake taste great. Other times I get the wrong filling or no filling, dry tres leches cake, or inadequate decoration even though I get charged more for the decoration. The cakes are a bit pricey even for basic decoration, if you get a good cake its def worth it but if you don't you are being ripped off. read more

This bakery is damn good and well worth the trip. The cakes here are excellent. We've tried and tried to find BF a cake, going to some of the best reviewed places in town, and ultimately the cakes here won out. Particularly good is the flan cake, but their standard fridge vanilla/chocolate cakes are way above par. Another excellent thing to get here is the jalapeño stuffed bolillo, which in itself is worth the drive. Its not at all like stuff you might see in super markets. Its freshly made, and just perfect reheated in the over. The selection is wider than most mexican bakeries in the neighborhood, and they clearly know what they are doing. Let me say this. This place is better than Portos. Period. read more

I had to order pan dulce for 300 people at a post-show performance and Sonora was clutch to make that happen. I ordered several dozen pan dulces a few days before and picked it up a few hours before the show. They did a great job of packing all the items in advance but still have the pan dulce be frrrresh. For example, the conchas were super fresh and soft. I also appreciate that the price was right -- only paid $100 to feed 300 people. Once at the post-show reception, folks asked where the pan dulce came from and got many thumbs ups from guests -- Latino and non-Latino alike. Legit. read more

Yay I'm a fan! I had flan for the first time and its really great. I had a croissant also, which was good. I used it for my sandwich but the day after it was made, so it was probably even better the day of. read more

Best Pan Dulce in town!!! Their coffee cake is to die for!! I order a whole sheet of it for every party or gathering I have!. Their machaca empanadas go great with a coffee in the morning. The only thing that has a small downfall that some of the ladies that help you r not very friendly or cheerful. Other than that best panaderia in East L.A. read more

So I ordered a cake from this bakery two weeks ago for my baby shower. When I ordered that day I was speaking with the owner and the cake decorator to make sure they could do the cake just like the picture I showed them of how I wanted it. I had seen their cakes before and believed the quality of their work was great! I had to say I was excited when I left that they agreed they could do it.... Until I picked my cake up today for the baby shower. When the lady brought my cake out I couldn't help but say "Is this a joke!" The cake was so disappointing=( Colors were totally off, the quality was rushed, just nothing like I have seen from them, not a cool feeling. I just hope the flavors inside are even what I wanted =/ read more

I've been coming here for years. I buy their fruit tart for special dinner parties. It's huge and so much cheaper than other places. We sometimes get their sub sandwiches which are good cuz it's their bread. They have stuffed bolillos with jalapeños and cheese. Yum! They have smaller size conchas. That's a plus. read more

When I called, I asked them if they sold red velvet cakes and if they sold them in slices and not whole. They assured me that they do sell them in slices. When I got there and I asked for it, they told me that they only sold them whole and not in slices. The cashier was also kind of rude, they grabbed the cake out of the fridge and pointed at the whole cake and said, "that's all we have!" and then she just puts the cake back in the fridge. The cakes here are good, but please refrain from misleading your customers on what you actually sell and don't sell. read more

Nice selection of bread / pastry items. Great tasting also. The only problem here is that the selections don't have listed prices.

Place is amazing yes busy but cakes are delish... they take over the phone orders and they never failed me on the design and how delicious

Fabulous !!!!! Everything looked wonderful and I got 5 baked goods, 5 bolillos, 4 tamales and 3 empanadas for under $20. You pick up a tray and songs and browse. You can smell it from the street and it draws you in. Pleasant staff and between their English and my Spanish I was able to order. Beware the cheese tamales have a very hot chili in them, this gringos mouth was on fire. Taking my son's girlfriend next time so she can translate - had no idea what I was ordering, but it all tasted good. read more

I will say they got good bread but not good on the way they get the order for cake. My husband had ordered a chocolate cake and we got a vanilla cake. And the fruit wasn't good either. read more

This ones kind of hard to rate cause it was a situation. My sister was getting married so my parents asked me to get a cake. Idk anything about wedding cakes so i proceded to call around to the local bakeries. I just needed a 6inch cake due to the current covid 19 situation. I called the zamora bakery and spoke to a lady named Karina who was super helpful. she suggested i go to their Instagram page and look at the cake designs.i ordered the cake over the phone. Done and easy! When i told my mom what i ordered of course she hated it and made me change it. I didn't want any confusion so i went to the bakery in person to show them the exact cake design. Karina wasnt there and i spoke to a man whome i showed the picture to it was a white whipped cream icing with white roses on the top and bottom borders he seemed annoyed looked at the pictureand said yeah well do it. When i went to pick it up i asked for the 6 inch wedding cake and the lady at the counter had no ideah what i was talking about because it was a 6inch white cake with only flowers on the bottom and green leaves. It was really ugly. I showed the picture to the lady and she told the cake maker to put flowers on the top it looked better but those green leaves looked terrible they kind of covered it up with frosting but you could still see the green a little. After waiting about 20min for them to fix it. I brought it home and covered the green with blue berries threw the bride and groom on top and it ended up looking really nice. So karina was awsome she has Great customer service. The man totally messed up my order. The cake maker was really nice and made the cake look better, but it wasted 20min of my time plus the time it took me to put on the blueberries so i didn't have time to get dressed up. So i was in my workout clothes. The cake was really good and everyone enjoyed it. Thats where it gets tricky. read more

So I grew up all around California and happened to live in East Los for a while and this is one of the best bakeries out there! The food is great, price is amazing. I ordered a cake for my friends party and it came out to 59 with a picture and a reggae themed cake. I had emailed the bakery for all the information on the cake and never went in person to actually give in detail what I wanted so I was a bit skeptical on how the cake would come out but it actually came out really amazing! read more
