    Not impressive. For 11.95 you get this and a drink.
    Janine N.

    Looks nice inside but the food and the price does not match. Very plain. You would expect more for 12 bucks and some change. Nothing is offered for a side . He said the burritos and tortas are pretty big so they don't offer any sides. Just a tortilla and eggs and bacon. Could have done this at home. Not worth the price . The picture looked like it had beans and Cora cheese and the torta looked nice to in the picture. It definitely not what you get.

    The owners are soo sweet! The food was amazing. My husband and I had a bacon, egg, cheese, and avocado sandwich on ciabatta bread, sooo good. My son had a blueberry muffin. He was in heaven. We also got a spinach and cheese empanada because they were fresh out of the oven and couldn't resist! The bakery itself was adorable and felt inviting. We will be back!

    Another stumbled upon spot while galavanting around downtown. Glad this bakery caught our eye. Seating area on the patio in front of the shop to enjoy the sunny day or inside tables along the wall to admire the history. From desserts and pastries to savory empanadas or pizza & pasta. Oh yes some bbq pork steamed buns and themed tiered cakes were a sight to see. They also have smaller sizes available in the display case when you're in need of a cake on the go, neatly packaged. It was a whirlwind of choices but I went straight to the plain cannoli. As we were ready to check out Amy and Luis (the owners) greeted us. Super friendly we felt right at home with the warm welcome. They've been running strong for 19 years at this establishment that has been here since 1895. They also had some empanadas. Couldn't pass up the opportunity we took home a sweet plantain & savory Japanese curry. Will be back to support this piece of history that is a home to passionate and talented individuals. Fun facts: Luis came from a family of bakers from Manila in the Philippines. Taking on the family tradition, he decided to start his own baking business. In 2006, Luis bought the business that has been running strong with the support of his wife Amy.

    Best food in downtown upland would give more stars but it only allows 5 the tiramisu is soooooooo good and customer service is amazing :)

    Went in looking for breakfast and was lucky to arrive just as the spinach empanadas were fresh out the oven. I was able to enjoy my delicious empanada while sitting at the patio to enjoy the sun. Definitely recommend 5

    Stopped by on Thursday, 09/28/23 for the first time. Located in the heart of downtown Upland. If you would like to order a birthday cake and have it all customized to your liking then you would have to call in and preorder in advance. Unfortunately I wasn't aware however there were 2, already-made small lemon cakes with a 'Happy Birthday' tooth pick sign which I purchased or $15. I spoke to a lovely man who I believe is the owner. He asked if I wanted to try our their famous plantain pastries, guava pastries, and empanadas. I ordered 2 of each. I paid $37.20 total. My mom and I loved everything that we ordered and will definitely come back.

    The Local Baker & Cafe in Upland serves delicious hot food and pastries. My dad and I ordered coffee and the day's special: a croissant sandwich with sausage, avocado, and eggs with mojo-style potatoes. I got a cheese danish to supplement my meal. The potatoes get cut thin but not too much that it feels crispy like snack chips. The thickness allows for an inner soft texture, which tastes lovely with ketchup. The way they cook their fresh potatoes inspired me to do it myself, but I feel much better buying from the restaurant. The whole meal tasted very good and filling. I also ordered takeout pastries, including croissants, cookies, and turon. I recommend coming here to support this stellar small business. Luis and Amy welcome every guest and work hard to create a great customer experience. They brighten the ambience, and I feel thankful to have friendly conversations with them when I come back to catch up. I recommend following the restaurant's social media sites (Facebook or Instagram) to get notified of any specials or newly released dishes and pastries.

    Okay, this is literally the best brownie I've ever had. It's so fudgy and minty! Also, the Japanese curry empanadas are so good; they're my favorite item to get every time! Amy and Louis are the sweetest ever! Support your local bakery!

    Ridiculously yummy!…read more Been here several times for their loaves of bread, scones, and cookies! For the bread, I've been enjoying their cinnamon raisin recently, but they are known for their different sourdoughs! Rosemary sourdough is a good one, but the cheddar sourdough has been pretty great with some garlic butter! You can also request the loaves to be sliced! For their scones, these are not your regular scones. They're as soft as a cookie, but there is still some density to it where a cup of coffee or tea would be a great addition. It's a pretty substantial scone, and I'm pretty full with just that and a drink. Chocolate scone has been my go-to. For cookies, the golden raisin oatmeal one is probably our favorite, followed by the snickerdoodle! Staff has been nice and accommodating! No issues here. Very clean store! It's a very popular bakery, and they can run out of goods before midday. Highly recommend to get here early. Plenty of spaces in the parking lot during the weekend, typically!

    This place is amazing...been coming here for years, with a few long breaks in between, but every…read moretime I've gotten bread, it's been consistently delicious. Fortunately (or unfortunately?), my facial gal is in the same center as this place, so it's easy to slide on over when I'm done, but I can never seem to decide on just one loaf, and usually leave with 2-3. I've had Roasted Garlic, Rosemary Lemon, Jalapeno Jack, Apricot Pecan, Cranberry Jalapeno, and probably a few more that I'm forgetting right now. They were all very yummy and freeze well. For the best selection, make sure you come early, as they tend to sell out quickly.
