“This bakery is exactly why I always carry cash! It's hands-down the best bakery I've visited. I've tried about 6-7 different breads, and each one was amazing. The prices are super reasonable, which makes everything even better. Pan Dulce stood out as my absolute favorite – it was just incredible.”
“Cash only but prices are great. The conchas, empanadas, pan francés are all great. The cakes in the fridge are really good. And this is coming from someone whose family used to run their own panadería.”
“Real Mexican taste with Mexican hospitality. 1000% recommend! Todo está bien sabroso con mi cafecito!”
“La sra que atiende o cobra más bien. Ha de ser la Dueña que sra más pésima y mal educada, Sra uno llega a comprar no a pedir o que me regale. El pan esta bueno sin lugar a dudas, he ido más de una vez y esa aptitud Sra mi Calificación es CERO DE CERO.”
