“Desde que mi esposo me dijo de éste lugar se ah convertido en mi panadería favorita, desde el servicio hasta la calidad de los productos que venden es verdaderamente de apreciarse yo siendo mexicana me da mucha alegría encontrar pan qué sepa a México muchas panaderías cambian o tal vez reemplazan ingredientes claves para qué sepa a pan mexicano o muy cercano a ello , gracias por el servicio muy amable de todas las trabajadoras ahí!”
“Los sándwiches aquí son realmente buenos. Recomiendo el número siete o el de jamón con salami. Los empleados siempre son amables, incluso temprano por la mañana. Los precios son muy asequibles. Volvería.”
“Bien rico las tortas. La señora era amable y carismática. Un buen lugar para una torta en este verano. Estoy feliz que me recomendaron este lugar”
“This bakery was not on my agenda today, I was to try Hermosa Cafe around the corner, unfortunately, I guess they only take online orders or reservations because the doors were locked at 12noon on a Saturday with only a text number to communicate with them. And they never responded. As Im leaving the site, I see many people walk into this mexican bakery that has sweet pastries and makes fresh sandwiches and tortas to-order. The portions of the baked goods are exceptional and fairly priced. I tried an assorted selection of baked goods and they were all magnificent. I especially enjoyed the “boston creme donut” (relleno = stuffed, i was not aware of that meaning) and its flaky “cone-like” treat that was filled to the bottom. I was surprised and pleased. I also tried their chorizo & scrambled egg torta. This was toasted nicely and the chorizo was crumbly and seasoned nicely. This is a solid 4.4⭐️s!!!”
“I called to place an order and the lady who picked up the phone was very rude when I asked to add an add on to my sandwich she told me “what do you not know how to order” and the worst part was that when my husband went to pick up our order she said here I printed out a copy of our menu so next time she could learn how to order it correctly! Very unprofessional in my point of view If your going to have an attitude then why run a bakery.”
“Seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram seetaram”
“Got a BLT with turkey it was delicious will be going back again”
“This bakery has been the staple for my family growing up in Hermosa. The sandwiches are SO GOOD. They dont skimp on ingredients. Skip on subway across the street and support this bakery instead lol. Their bread is also yummy and they have a variety! Staff is always approachable and kind :)”
“Me encanta la central. Todas las damas son muy buena gente, y te tratarán muy bien.”
