A small family-owned business sporting some delicious crepes, pastries, and drinks using their own family recipes! They take traditional and authentic Mexican goodies and make them innovated. They are located in the heart of downtown Oxnard in the historic Woolworth Building. Come here if you want some affordable and tasty respostería (baked goods), raspados (shaved ice), or crepas! When I say affordable, I definitely mean it! Everything is around $5 or less. When my partner and I went we tried all their classic pastries, such as flor de nuez (.99 cents each), guava empanadas ($1.99 each), and estrellias ($1.49 each). They were all super tasty! You would think the shortbread cookies would be dry and crumbly, but they are actually super moist. My personal favorite was the fresa flor de nuez cookie. They also have a lot of drinks and crepes to choose from! I decided to get the cajeta frappe ($4.90) since the worker said it was one of the most popular drinks and it was very refreshing. Not strong on the coffee flavor, but not super sweet either. We didn't try any crepes but we will be back for them! All in all, I recommend checking this place out if you wanna try some delicious homemade Mexican pastries and drinks! read more

I have been coming for years, since they first opened I believe, but over time the customer service has not improved. I recently stopped going as much because owner repeatedly lets other patrons cut in front of me to attend them. Such a shame they have good menu choices but the service lacks plenty. read more

Wow! We ordered a cafe de olla & black coffee, both iced. Both were delicious! That cafe de olla is so good; it was my first time trying it and I was so pleasantly surprised by how sweet and smooth it was. I added half and half after trying it, because I prefer creamy coffee. The staff were so sweet and helpful amongst all of our questions & convinced us to try the tres leches cake, despite our misgivings about a wet cake. All the pastries on display looked beautiful and we ordered an almond croissant and pistachio macaron, as well. They were all delicious! The small shop started to fill up, as soon as we began ordering so we hurried out of the way but we honestly didn't feel rushed by the staff at all. Amazing experience & we will be back. read more

Dropped in to purchase cookies for work. Desserts are displayed beautifully. Purchased the prepackaged container and a couple macaroons. Friends mentioned the macaroons were good. I tried the polverones and it didn't have the buttery vanilla flavor and neither did the flower shaped cookie I tried. No flavor. Disappointed that butter wasn't used for the price. read more

delicious food and crepes but the man on the register always ruins my experience. he is always rude and needs to be trained better, ive noticed he is ruder to Mexicans or darker people. Ive seen him talk and make banter to pale and white people. I love the food but I dont like supporting a business that treats hardworking people like this. Improve the customer service bc the food is already overpriced. read more

I ordered quiche, a chocolate pound cake, and cookies for an event. All were delicious and freshly made. I highly recommend Xielo for your next event! Xielo supports community efforts, and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. Thank you, Xielo! read more

They brought Xielo desserts for staff appreciation day at work...blessings on blessings! I tried the fruit tart, requeson cake (Mexican cheesecake), empanada de guayaba. The requeson cake and empanada de guayaba were my fav! I'm coming back for those. The requeson cake which is basically Mexican cheesecake was SO GOOD. Let me just say, cheesecake is one of my absolute favorite desserts and this one blew me away. I had never had it before. (For those wondering, requeson cheese is a salty, spreadable Mexican cheese that tastes like a creamier, more acidic version of ricotta. Source: google lol) The empanada de guayaba aka guava also has like a sweet cheese filling in it. It was absolutely delicious, I could've eaten like 5 more of those. I'm very impressed by Xielo! All of the desserts are quite fancy and decadent, but the price point is still very reasonable. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but this place was so fantastic I absolutely had to talk about it! I've never been to Oxnard before, but I'm here on a business trip and I decided to stop in here for a quick breakfast before work. It's an adorable little shop tucked away on w forth street. I was a little confused at first, because the shop is in a old Woolsworth? I quickly figured it out, and I like that the unconventional exterior adds to the cute vintage vibe. Food came out 3 minutes after I ordered and was hot a delicious! I ordered: bacon quiche 5/5 I normally hate asparagus with a burning passion but they somehow made it taste good. Hearty, excellent cheese. Monte Alban Crepe 5/5 Delicious chocolate cherry creation which was made right in front of me! Hot chocolate 5/5 Cinnamon and chocolate are a match made in heaven and this didn't disappoint. And then this lovely gentleman came out and gave me a free crepe! Which was blueberry and ricotta , 5/5. Overall this was a wonderful experience at an affordable price. Don't miss it if you're in Oxnard! read more

Xielo's a great little dessert shop with some Mexican flavors. The prices are pretty affordable and the desserts are delicious! The moment you step in, there's a smell of sweetness in the air made by the crepes being made. I found it warm and welcoming :) I tried a few things: Estrellitas - shortbread cookie with jam (either strawberry or cajeta?) Usually I find shortbread cookies to be too dry but this one was good! I think the cajeta one had a floral type of scent to it. Never having tried cajeta before, it wasn't my favorite. I did enjoy the strawberry one. Apple bar - Had a thick crust, was good!! I did taste cinnamon so be aware if you don't like it. Empanada de Guayaba - thin pastry with guava. Think this also had a bit of a floral taste to it. I liked the thin crust. Flan - small slice but very creamy and delicious! My friend got a cajeta frappe and enjoyed it. Overall, I was very impressed and happy with my desserts. I'd visit more often if I lived nearby! They have a lot of desserts not shown in their display, make sure to take a look at their menu. Definitely a place to stop by for flavorful desserts. read more

I haven't been there but my son who lives in Arizona, has ordered Crapes for my Birthday and sent them to me in the morning for breakfast, like 3xs and some coffee and "oh my Goodness" So Delicious read more

Very tasty. The smells were great. The girl at the register was super nice and very explanatory. I ordered a la Mexicana crepe to eat there. The side of hot sauce enhanced the flavor perfectly. Also the girl that brought it outside was very kind and it was ready quick. A nice tasting vegetarian option. I ordered some pastries to go. I got an almond croissant, my favorite. A crispy cinnamon bunello. One Mexican wedding cookie(polvorones), a guava and cheese empanada. And one pecan pie tartlet. The pastries travelled well. The dough was very light and flaky. Things made in house are always better. My absolute favorite pastry was the almond croissant. Like a Mexican bear claw. Very good. The crispy, flat, round cinnamon bunello was the second best and the wedding cookie was a close third. I highly recommend trying this spot in Oxnard. It's not disappointing in the slightest. Delicious food and friendly people. read more

WOW WOW WOW WOW! We absolutely love this place! Family owned. All of the recipes are from the Grandma, traditional recipes from Mexico. This place is located in the old Woolworth's building in downtown Oxnard. There's parking on the street (love that there's no parking meters). There's two tables (more like picnic tables and benches) in front. The sandwiches are made with croissants (very light, fresh and tasty). We haven't had the crepes yet, but they do look very tasty too! We had the ham & cheese sandwich (with thick slices of both), guava empanadas (these are my absolute favorites here), and I had the cafe jesuita (sweet coffee). They also offer iced drinks, frappes, raspados, Oaxacan hot chocolate. Pastries: assorted cookies, flan, macarons (a variety of flavors). 10 different kinds of sweet crepes. The prices are very reasonable. Stop in and introduce yourself to one of the family members, Juan (dad to the owner). read more

Very good pastries! I wish the location was a bit bigger but it's really cute inside and the employees are always friendly! The coffee is good but there can be more options in my opinion! read more

My wife and I love coming here! From the crepes to the coffee , all highly recommended! My favorite is the cajeta frappe or the cafe de olla ! At times can get busy but orders come out quick and service is excellent read more

Stopped in here for some cookies and coffee and both very delicious. The mini Bañuelos are my absolute favorite!

We came in specifically for the flan, and I hope I'm not exaggerating when I say it was quite literally the best flan we've ever had. My husband likes his a little bit on the softer and more custardy side and this was it! It was a really thick piece and the perfect balance of vanilla and cream. We also got a guava empanada which was pretty good, but we would come back for the flan. Next time we're in will be sure to try some of their drinks as well! They seem to have a pretty extensive menu and a lot of other baked goods. read more

would be a 5 but i did find a hair in my creme from my crepes :( the service is fast and the crepes and frappes are good.

This is a very good place with pastries and crepes as well as ice shaving ice cream Mexico style. The service is great and the place is so cozy. read more

This is a great little whole in the wall to find delicious pastries coffee and an occasional breakfast sandwich. The reason I fell in love with this place was because they serve Cafe de Olla every day! Iced or hot which is awesome! I have to warn you though, unless you are one of those Starbucks people that has lost their flavor pallets to their sugary milk drinks they call coffee, then you might want to order the half and half. This is half Cafe de Olla and half regular coffee. While the Cafe de Olla is delicious by itself, it is incredibly sweet straight up. So trust me and start with a 50/50 blend. Their pastries are also very good, they remind me of Portos in the valley. They might not have as big as a selection but, what they do have it flavor in a smaller selection. We need more places like this in the Nard, ever since Rou-Meli closed down, places like this are hard to come by. read more

I've been going here for dates, birthdays and special occasions for a couple years now and have really fallen for this little spot. Walking up to the shop you are greeted with the delicious smells of fresh pastries and coffee. Inside you can see crepes being made right in front of you, which really adds to the experience. I have a sweet tooth so I normally go for the sweeter crepes but I appreciate that they also offer savory options. There is not much of a seating area. A few benches are available outside but I don't mind. I prefer to take my order to the harbor and eat my crepes as I watch the boats go by. Overall I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

I remember when we first started coming to xielo. Amazing service and great items to say the least. Unfortunately the owner has become stingy, using low quality cups that caps just fall off and the flan to say the least im not sure if its a slice of flan or a quarter of flan at this point. I mean charge me for it but just give me the actual piece of flan instead of a half of the slice. Very disappointed in how the owner cant even hire anyone else to help him with a register over all not purchasing from this spot for myself anymore. read more

Everything in my previous review still stands. Everything is good, but i wanted to mention something I've noticed the last couple of times I've visited about the croissant with nutella & custard. On some days, more often than most.... it tastes like it has been refrigerated the night before. I'd be fine with it if it was a day old and still good. But you can definitely tell when bread absorbs the other scents of everything else in the fridge. I'm writing this because IF you had left overs or are making them the night before, or even fresh in the mornings... please just tightly wrap them to prevent this because i would love to keep ordering this. That's all. I'd still go here because the other stuff are still delicious. read more

Tiny hole in the wall that is worth the visit! We got an iced and hot cafe de olla and it didn't have an artificial taste like some flavored coffees do. It's the perfect amount of sweet and they serve it black so you can add your own cream to it. The small cookies are really delicious as well, the empanada de guayaba and cajeta and strawberry cookies we got were very good as well. It smells like a typical Mexican bakery and I wish I would've gotten more stuff to take home. We will definitely be back! read more

My niece recommended this place and it was a great recommendation. I had just ate so I couldn't have any of their delicious desserts. I just got the Cajeta Frappe. It was delicious. Not too sweet. It was perfect. I will come back soon. read more

Been coming here since they opened. Was good then and is still good now. There's nothing like it in Oxnard.

Avoid this place! My wife is allergic to strawberries and asked to exchange them for blueberries. They charged $2 fee for 10 blueberries. Any changes at all, no matter the reason are an additional charge according to the manager. read more

This is the best bakery around. Absolutely love everything & everyone. Highly recommend.

Looooove me some Xielo!!! The café de olla is my FAVE! I love it iced with one creamer. #Perfection The cookies and sweets are always amazing. The flavors are your youth in a beautifully fancy little edible package! They're inventive and make you crave them when they're gone. I've taken their cookies to parties and I always am asked where they can get more. Xielo is super yum! read more

Staying in the area and popped in for a few desserts...glad I did! The crepes are delicious (tbh, not sure I've had a bad crepe)...french berry cream was definitely the winner for me. The cookies and empanadas were good, but the crepes would be my choice. Also, horchata frappe? Who knew, but this is delicious. A little sweet, but to be expected when the base is horchata. Definitely loved it, but a less sweet drink might be better with a crepe. Location is really neat, nice little cafe feeling to it and the staff was very friendly. I would love to try their savory crepes or breakfast sandwiches on my next visit! read more

Lovely gem of a place! I don't typically visit where this place is located but when I went inside it felt as if I was as in some hip shop in LA with a trendy but pleasant and homely atmosphere. The food itself is great as well! I had one of their crepes and it was delicious. Not too sweet, and great portions. Wish I had ordered more so I could try more things but I'll come again surely. read more

Amazing! Best in town! I've tried all the iced coffees & crapes. You can't go wrong with whatever you order

We were in Oxnard for an event, and Xielo provided some cookies for that event. I can't remember the names of the cookies but one was a shortbread type of cookie with strawberry jam on top and the other was a sort of twist with jam inside. Both were delicious. After the event we stopped by their bakery. Service was great and personable. We got some additional cookies and a ham and cheese croissant sandwich. The sandwich was good. They also have crepes. The cookies were the highlight. Lovely texture and flavors. If in Oxnard again, we would go back for the cookies and to try more of the pastries. read more

It's the best horchata frappuccino and chicken salad sandwich I've tasted recently. Service has been outstanding everytime I've been there. Love the whole layout of the place. #Hooked read more
