I was on the hunt for a Mexican Bakery and the perfect Tres Leches cake for a co worker. I have tried this cake 3 times before from other places and thought, how does anyone like this cake?? That was .....until I found this place!! This cake was not only beautiful but tastes absolutely delicious. The bakery itself had so many different pastries, I was speechless! The ladies at the counter were friendly and there were quite a few people there. Which I thought was a good sign. The place had a good vibe. I did also try the carrot cake. Now, as a white girl, I like mine a different way so I was not a huge fan of this one, but that's just me. I just don't care for the pineapple and coconut, along with the carrot, nuts and raisins. For me, it was too much. I also like a cream cheese frosting, which this did not have. Still, like I said, that's just me. It did look really beautiful though. I will definitely come back!! 10/10 !!!! read more

Su Pan Bakery - Not the best picture bc everyone ate it but it's truly delicious!! - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Everything that I have ordered pan dulce, tortas, pastel for events never fails. Si pan is definitely a go-to spot for locals when getting a quick bite to eat or ordering a cake. The bread is always good, I recently even ordered a wedding cake from Su Pan and from the appointment with the pastelera to the delivery service all went smoothly even on short notice. The wedding cake was definitely a reasonable price and all the guests enjoyed it and even asked for more. Seriously you can never go wrong with su pan bakery! read more

Hidden gem! Delicious, well made croissants! Service was quick..grab your own croissant from the cabinet wall ( plain, chocolate and many other yummy looking pastries) decent prices. Small dining area, several local walk-in customers. Olla coffee I'm told is excellent. Shared parking with other strip mall patrons so be patient! read more

Small spot next to a gas station and a liquor store. Su Pan Bakery sells delicious cakes (whole pies and slices), fruit tarts, desserts and other Mexican baked goods. The other half of the store sells tortas, croissants, breakfast burritos and bolillos, carne asada fries and coffee / tea / orange juice. Service is quick and easy. Came in for a fruit tart, paid about 6 dollars. It was delicious and the crust was lined with chocolate. Parking is scarce. About 10 spots in the lot that's shared. Street parking isn't too far or just park quickly at the gas station and walk over. A few tables and chairs and a tv with music videos was playing when I was there. Solid energy for the place. read more

I was introduced to Su Pan through my coworker who buys their pastries at the UCSD location. She treated me to some and I thought they were so good, I had to come here to their El Cajon Blvd spot. I am now addicted to the pastries here. The Bavarian empanadas and macarons are my fave, although I do like the elote bread, tres leches cake, and bread pudding. I've yet to try their savory food, but I'm sure they're just as good as their sweets!!! This place usually gets busy and parking can be a pain, but I find going here worth it! Plus everyone who works at Su Pan is very nice and friendly. Love, love this place! read more

Not even kidding, their Cali breakfast burrito was the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. 10/10!

We ordered by phone ahead of time at 9:16pm to place an order of "1 Torta Milanesa, 2 preparados de Chorizo." We came about 10min earlier and it was not made. Cook was complaining and playing around with the Cashier's Saying kitchen is closed. Definitely one of the worst service I had here. I love supporting local but man, this place unfortunately isn't it . I just received the order at 942pm. Note of advice Talk to your kitchen staff. Also, There were a few people waiting just as long. Date:June 28,25 read more

They did a great job with the cake I ordered for my coworker. The only frustrating thing is that I did order it a week ahead so I could just pick it up before work and it wasn't ready when I got there. Luckily it didn't take too long and they did a beautiful job. My coworker absolutely loved it and I do recommend them but I would just say make sure to leave a time buffer if you need to pick it up in a hurry. read more

I ordered a 10" cake tres leches, paid $90 . What I received was a cake in a thin white box with no lid top. Thats extremely dangerous to do especially while driving from point A to point B and not professional as a business to do. The worker told me they don't carry boxes for these cakes. As soon as i took the cake from the store the thin box was bending in half got messed up plus got all over me. I went back in and explaining i cant take this $90 cake without a decent box for the cake. They were being rude and telling me that they told me to be careful when i take the cake. Thats beside the point. Provide a proper box for your cakes. For the $90 cake ya'll have no problem charging for but can't provide your customers a decent box as it honestly should be coming with in the first place. The company should disclose not providing a proper box for there cakes. Its not our problem its a business problem. It was so bad i had to explain to the workers that maybe if they double up even tripple stack the boxes together to make it sturdy to support the weight of the cake. read more

I've looking for an authentic panaderia in the area! It was very clean and welcoming. The staff was polite and provided great customer service. My friend mentioned them offering tortas so I decided to give it a try. The torta was delicious and they forsure do not skimp you! I'd also like to add that their pan is delicious, not stale at all, very soft, sweet and tasty, I'm definitely coming back for more! read more

So i came here today for the first time and i got the cream cheese danish. it was $3 which i find pretty standard for the price. its basically right next to the burger king in price center too btw. yeah but the place is like a self serve type thing. just get the tongs, pick up the pastry u want, place it in the bag, and then just check out at the front. quick get in and get out before class which i find very convenient. pretty nice ppl working at the front too. but yeah my cream cheese danish was pretty good. not too cheesy, nice n flaky. not too sweet either but just right. pretty fye. if i put that bih in the air fryer it would been even more fire ngl. will def come back fosho read more

This pan Rosca de Reyes is sooooooo delicious. It is moist--not crumbly, great texture, and my goodness the toppings especially the star was the cream cheese filling. I ate this bread three times! I even called back the next day to check their inventory. And to my dismay, they only make it for that celebratory holiday. I have something to look forward to in 2026! In closing, I have been back here several times for their pans and bolillos! Wtf! The bolillos are sooooo delicious and soft. A household favorite! read more

I was researching the best place to order a Tres Leches cake in San Diego and this bakery kept popping up. I ordered a round Mocha Tres Leches cake for my husband's birthday a week in advance and it looked and tasted delicious! Perfect amount of moist and lots of fruit on top. The place had many 2-4 person tables available and it was pretty busy on a Thursday morning, which is how you know this place is good! The place was clean and light. I was in a bit of a rush to pick up the cake, so unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try their other pastries. Highly recommend Su Pan for their Tres Leches cake!! read more

My go to spot for breakfast! I love their hash brown burrito and their chilaquiles! They also make great breads and pastries, tacos and tortas. You order at the counter and can eat in or to-go. Atmosphere is very casual. Word of advice, you may want to stay away from the corner of the Autozone, at the other end of the complex. Other than that, this is definitely a hidden gem in the City Heights area. read more

I love a little coffee shop break when I'm on the road between patients and need a place to chart. Su Pan bakery has quickly become my safe haven for just that. Their baked goods are made fresh. So far I've tried their blueberry muffin - incredible, and they're mini flan - otherworldly. The shortbread that sits under the flan was perfectly light and the flan wasn't too sweet but had good body to it. Service is always great. Everyone is always patient with me when I'm taking 20 business minutes to decide what I want. And I love that the atmosphere is generally calm even when it's busy. read more

It was 6AM on a Saturday when I determined that I needed, yes needed, a breakfast burrito. This place looked promising. When I got there around 6:30, there were about 3 people in line, a couple of tables enjoying their food, and a few people waiting for their order. In other words, it was relatively busy for a Saturday early morning. The customers were diverse, some about to go to work, some who had a long night/morning, and people like me who had no good reason for wanting a breakfast burrito early in the AM on a weekend. I ordered the burrito with eggs, cheese, bacon, and potatoes. The potatoes weren't all that crisp, so I could do without those. Otherwise, the burrito was satisfying with a nice, soft tortilla and hot ingredients. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for over a decade as a local and have nothing but good things to say about the food I've had there; it's excellent. I've spent over $1,000 at this restaurant just this year on take-out and personal DoorDash orders for pickup. However, this recent experience I had was so bad that I was willing to create a Google and Yelp account for this encounter with the particular employee. To preface, I had also overheard a customer complaining about this specific employee a few months ago, which I had initially brushed off, assuming it was just an unreasonable customer giving a service employee a hard time. However, I was wrong. I recently went in to get a slice of cake as one of my regular orders, but as I was trying to place my order, an employee named Marisela accused me of stealing. I was confused; she had then gone on to say that she took a photo of my car before I drove off with the "stolen" slice of cake. She then claims that I fled after she told me I didn't pay for the slice of cake. To clarify, the day she was referring to, she did not tell me that I hadn't paid for the slice of cake. She approached my car that day and told me right before I was about to eat my slice of cake in my car (in a designated public parking spot directly in front of the restaurant) that I needed to move my car because I couldn't park there, I assumed that I wasn't allowed to sit in the car parked as it was relatively busy and there are limited parking spaces in the lot. So I obliged and said okay and left. So I was really taken aback when she accused me of stealing. She then showed me a picture of my car that she had taken while I was leaving. For starters, it is basically impossible for you to steal any of their desserts or food orders, as the desserts are inside a refrigerated glass display that is only accessible by employees behind the counter, and they do not hand you your dessert until AFTER YOU'VE PAID. Also, the food is made to order, which means you have to wait to be served your food until... You guessed it, AFTER YOU'VE PAID, or there is available pick up if... YOU'VE PAID ahead of time. Second, if I had taken my order without paying, why would I then sit in my car, eat directly in front of the restaurant with the food I stole, then flee, and then come back?TWICE, three days later? I then asked, When was the photo taken? As I don't carry cash, I could easily verify when I paid for my order. She then told me the date and time, and I showed her the charge and transaction details on my card, which I had used to "steal" the slice of cake. She then brushed it off and didn't offer an apology, and only let it go after I told her I have no reason to steal when I've come here for so long and have spent thousands of dollars there FOR OVER A DECADE. All she said was "Oh, it's okay" as if she was letting me off with a free order. I returned shortly after to ask for her name and to speak to her manager, but she claimed she didn't know what hours her manager typically worked. I believe she also intentionally overcharged me 70 cents out of spite on the day she accused me of stealing. Here are screenshots of proof. November 14th is the day I "stole" my order paid for, November 16th is the day she accused me of stealing and overcharged me when I returned, and the other screenshot shows the transaction total for what I spent there this year alone. I'd also post the video where I asked for her manager, but I can't post it here. read more

This place is a hidden gem to get your fix on some tres leches there are also all of the Mexican bread varieties you could want. Service is fast and friendly they take cash and cards and have a great variety of fresh pastries and drinks. I have tried the food but looks bomb just come in for the sweets. There used to be a food truck nearby not sure if still there but I love me some street meat for sure. read more

I usually have had a very good experience with this establishment when ordering cakes. However, today I spoke with Reyna and she continually interrupted me and scolded me. Rather than listening to my needs. I repeated the fact that I wanted a quote for a cake for 50 people. I repeated this 4 times. After being scolded and struggling to not be interrupted she finally say that the cake baker, neida would need to consult with me via phone. If she had listened from the beginning I could have avoided all the scolding, confusion and attitude problems from her. read more

Delicious tres leches cakes! They have different tres leches flavors (vanilla, chocolate, mocha, tiramisu) in cake and slice form and very reasonably priced! ($40 for a 8 in cake - huge! Or ~$6 per slice, which is a generous portion) staff was friendly and helpful. I was in and out in a jiffy read more

I used to love getting tortas here but, it's been very disappointing this time, it seems as if the meat in my torta has been sitting there for a while then re-fried for my order which should mean that my order should've been quick, but it took about 30 minutes for this, the staff doesn't seem to be well trained when I called to put my order in I intend to also order a torta de adobada which I've ordered many times before and was told they did not have that on their menu, there was two other customers waiting on their food for a while before me too. read more

Friend raved about this place, but carne asada was attached to thick strands of fat and gristle. Tried it again for some reason. Not good.

Wow things have changed. I have gone to this place 2 times this year and it has not improved at all. The pan dulce does not have any prices on any of it and it's expensive. My husband and I got 6 pieces of bread and 3 bolillos for $16. I wanted something sweet before leaving SD area and this was only thing open around 9pm. The bread was stale and hard. You don't even get to pick out your own bolillos. We had to rip half of the bread off just to make a decent torta. I will not be returning as they are not up front with prices and not self service for bolillos. Before off going to north gate or Sammy's in encanto read more
