I've many a times enjoyed their tamales, cake slices, donuts, kolaches, and other sweet/breads come up with. Sweet people. With good service. Clean, plus professional. read more

Ni una estrella pero a fuerza pide , el pan ahí lo tienen como de días atrás, todo duro, los que están en cajas muy mal humorados

Stopped in to Armada's as I had heard that they had tamales and my wife and I are always looking for good tamales since we moved to Texas. Armada's had three choices to choose from; Chicken, Beef and Jalapeno Cheese. We purchased all three and they were all delicious and by far the best we have had in the area. A bit on the small side but this seems to be the norm here in Texas. We are just used to much bigger tamales. Armada's also has a huge selection of cakes and Mexican pastries to also choose from. Having a giant sweet tooth, we selected several pastries to try out and all were very good and worth going back and trying the others. Armada's primarily caters to the Hispanic crowd so not everyone in there speaks English but they usually find a way to communicate with you. I highly recommend Armada's for their tamales and delicious selection of pastries. If this is something you enjoy, you won't be disappointed. read more

Cake was rancid like spoiled milk was f nasty this is the second time no wonder why they closed the restaurant. Manager or owner has to check the procedures and check if they are actually rotating the cakes and getting rid of the ones passed due. A whole damn cake was bad my family had to go to the closest Walmart to get another cake that actually wasn't bad. read more

Donuts 10/10, bolillos 10/10, piernas rellenas 10/10. Convenient location and very friendly service!! yummy yummy yummy every time.

I bought dozen chicken tamales and they are small for the price . Warming them and started eating them found a hair in them and chicken bones. How dangerous is that chicken bones in bits and pieces and hair in so many of them and I only got a dozen. This was so horrible. read more

I work in Conroe, and every year around this time I come in to buy tamales quite a bit. Today I bought two dozen chicken tamales , to take to work and share with my coworkers. When we started eating every one complained about bones in their tamales , and not small pieces. Pieces that anyone could have chocked on. We All threw them away, then I called them. Just for them to say they couldn't do anything, because we opened them!! Of course we did that's how I know , they have bones in them. Customer service , is horrible!!! No compren tamales ahi, estan llenos de pedasos de huesos!!! Y el servicio estuv horrible no compren ahi!! read more

Bakery bread great !! But Tamales No don't waste ur money ! They are small and meat is not all that tasty !! read more

I have ordered multiple cakes from this place. The taste has always been great. However the last time I came in the customer service was absolutely HORRIBLE! When I ordered the cake, I specifically asked the lady while placing the order, if they could make sure the cake was covered on top for transport purposes & if they could have it sitting out and ready for me when I called to say I was on my way. I was told YES. The lady was very sweet that took the order. The day of the meeting, I was running behind on time. So I called to ask them to have the cake out and ready. (As I had already requested when placing the order) I then was told NO they would not do it. I explained I was running behind and I had previously requested for the cake to be out and ready. The lady said no but when you come in we will get you taken care of quickly. I was in a rush to get to this meeting with this cake and it was feeding over 200 people. I walked in and explained all this to the lady and that I needed to get the cake out as quickly as possible to the vehicle, since they refused to have it out and ready as they promised. She walked to the back and I waited a few minutes and she had still not returned. So I asked the lady behind the counter if she could please at least ring me up for the cake and I could pay, since they were taking a while in the back. The girl did not have any customers in front of her at all. She said NO, I cant leave the register and I need the receipt. I explained to her PLEASE they were suppose to have this done already and Im in a hurry. I cant be late for this company meeting of 200 people. She was rude and acted as if she didn't care. That really upset and me and added insult to injury. I literally had the company calling me as Im standing in the bakery asking me where the cake was! I had to explain they did not have the cake ready as they promised and I would be there as soon as I could. After a while the cake finally comes out , I pay for it and leave! They not only did not have it ready when I arrived as they said they would but the cake was not covered either. When I get to the location of the meeting, I take the cake out and it looks horrible! It was the first cake I have ever purchased at this location that the icing was messed up in several locations! I quickly took a few photos and thought I would handle this with the manager later on when I had time. I tried calling several days in a row and kept being told to call at different times when requesting to speak with a manager. They kept asking me what my complaint was. I tried to explain to them I just wanted to discuss this with a manager and not an employee. That is when the girl Becky got very rude with me. She kept telling me there is NO MANAGERS here! I told her I understand that but could you please have one to call me back? She said NO thats what Im telling you we do not have ANY MANAGERS AT ALL! I then said if there is no manager can you please ask the owner to call me back. She said NO the owner only speaks Spanish. I then asked her for the owners name, so I could have a friend to translate for me to speak to the owner. She said shes not allowed to give out the owners name! Im pretty sure Becky is the one that had the horrible attitude the first day I went in and was behind the counter refusing to help me. Most of the times I come there everyone is very nice. However Becky was not at all. I asked over and over to talk to a manager and she just kept refusing saying there were NO MANAGERS. I explained to her in the past that I had spoken to a manager a few years back and they were very nice and I just cant believe they dont have any managers at that bakery. Then she finally tells me she has one and that she (BECKY) would be the one to tell the manager the problem. Yet, before she kept trying to lie and tell me there was no managers at all. I asked Becky for her managers name.....She then says I CANT GIVE YOU HER NAME! I said this is ridiculous! I then asked her what her name was and she said I CANT GIVE YOU THAT! I said you already did and you forgot, Becky! I think Becky has a control issue and she has no concept of customer service what so ever! I FINALLY told Becky what happened because she absolutely wouldn't take NO for an answer, then she just said OKAY IS THAT IT? OKAY THANK YOU and I WILL LET THEM KNOW. There was NO sorry, no kindness, no customer service and there was definitely no resolution ! I then told Becky, this was the exact reason I did not want to discuss it with her because I knew she did not care about anything I had to say! This was by far the worst experience I've had and I've been buying cakes from them off and on for years now. I will not be using them anymore since there is no REAL managers to speak with and they are refusing customers the ability to speak with someone in charge! I have referred MANY people to this bakery over the past several years but now I will be telling others to stay away from this place. read more

So many goodies at Arandas Bakery! When you first walk in grab a metal tray and some tongs and get to pickin'! The selection here is really impressive, everything I've tried has been delicious. I got my usual couple cookies, some buns, an empanada, but this time I tried a churro and jalapeño sausage kolache. The churro was dusted perfectly in cinnamon sugar, and filled (surprise!) with caramel, yum! The kolache was the best I've had in a long time, good quality meat with the flakiest of bun. I've never seen flies in here and place is always clean. I was also helped by a friendly woman who was working the counter. I don't know why I waited so long in between visits, I'll be back again soon! read more

Fantastic bread so many choices a must go to see what you might find like I have...great service

Their pandulce and other treats are great! Not crazy about their roscas though. There's definitely room for improvement there.

Oh my gosh! Found my new little gem of a store. Tamales are the best and the bakery goods look even better... I had to keep walking but looks oh so yummy! Will be a frequent place we visit if not weekly now. read more

Arandas Bakery - All of my guests loved the Tres Leches Cake.. - Bakeries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

Y'all really need to know about this. Arandas Bakery gave me 2 cakes that were the wrong flavor (and honestly way too sweet, should have just gone with a Costco cake and I will be doing so in the future. Paid $120 bucks and they would only offer me $7 dollars back. We have bought a lot of cakes as a family from them, the manager Rono made a terrible business decision and I think you guys should know what kind of customer service you will receive no matter how loyal you have been to them. read more

I stumbled across this adorable bakery right off Frazier in a quite deserted strip center. So being the adventurous Yelper that I am I decided to check it out. Wow I found the most delightful authentic Mexican Bakery. It was good size with most of all the traditional Mexican baked goods. It also had 2 kinds of sausage kolaches for $1.30 each. I saw many cases of sliced desserts which I really wanted to buy one of everything. The flan slice was nicely pie cut with a strawberry on top and the flan sauce nicely cascading down it. They had beautiful cakes and they make beautiful special order wedding cakes. They had 2 huge pots of freshly made in house tamales which you have a choice of pork or chicken. Price was $3.50 for 6 tamales. They were medium in size, extremely tasty, authentic and no fillers. Just yummy meat and masa. Five star + for these babies!!! Four of the six would make for a delightful quickie lunch on the run. If you ate all 6 at once you'd definitely would be stuffed. These are Conroe's little secret gems! Lol, these tamales actually tasted very lean and healthy which is unique for tamales overall. Oh yah I would drive from The Woodlands just to get more of these. Nice clean bakery with very friendly and helpful ladies to assist you. If you need a wedding cake this is definitely a bakery that specializes in them. I have had no experience with their wedding cakes but the front window is full of wedding cakes. If you're in need of a party pinata just look up at the ceiling and have at it. Awesome selection. Ok actually 4.5 star because the Mexican pastries I had were very good but I've had slightly better in Houston. The sausage kolaches were a bit fatty but everything else was 5 star all the way. If you live anywhere within about 20 minutes of this bakery it's really worth checking out They have 4 more bakeries in Houston and supply the pastries to Taqueria Arandas. read more

What an awesome bakery! I've lived in the area for many years and drive by here all the time...and only now have I checked it out. It's a large Mexican bakery, very clean inside, and so many pastries to choose from, I was honestly overwhelmed. This is the first panaderia I've been to and didn't know where to start. Walked around the entire bakery looking at every baked good, I didn't know what to pick, where to start, or even how to hold it? Finally I saw somebody grab a metal round tray and tongs...duh, I felt like an idiot. I picked up a pineapple empanada, tres leches cake, taquito de fresas, and some tube-like pastry with a cream in it (sorry this was 2 days ago and forgot the name). This place opens early and closes late at night which is when I went. The people working there were very friendly and helpful, esp since I'm a total noob. That tube like pastry has a very crispy shell on the outside and lightly sweet. Just the right amount of butter and flour without making you feel heavy or nauseous. Dusted with confectionary sugar and trails of thin chocolate. It was filled with a light cream. It looked like a horn you would want to blow the cream at somebody's face like Tom did to Jerry in the Midnight Snack episode. The pineapple empanada was similar with a crispy light pastry shell and sweet pineapple filling. Surprisingly a light and delicious dish. The taquito de fresas was basically a churro filled with a strawberry paste. It was coated with sugar. No bueno. The tres leches, it was sweet, flavorful, and also surprisingly light. Which is an incredible feat given its drenched in condensed milk. Good stuff! read more

Bad customer service. I drover over 45 mints to pick out a cake for the weekend. Payed $60 up front and was told I could pay the remaining $60 on the pick up date. On Sunday my sister went to pick it up but was never told she had to pay for the cake. She left without issue. On Monday I'm getting repeated calls from unknown numbers. I was at work and busy so I ignored th. Once I had a chance I did pick up and it was an Arandas employee telling me that the remaining balance was not payed because she forgot to charge me and I needed to come in and pay it or else they would take the money out of her check. I thought it was a bit unprofessional to put a customer on the spot for an error on their part. However I did not want anyone to suffer for a mistake so I left work early to drive over 45 minutes again to pay the remaining balance. When I pay I get no apology for making come back or a thank you for doing the right thing and paying for after their mistake. All I got is oh this is the lady that didn't pay its $60 and she gave the ticket to the cashier and went back to her phone. I won't be coming back here again. The cake was great unfortunately the customer service is very poor. I was left with taking all of the responsibility of their business and payment. read more

Ok it's the first place I head to and doesn't disappoint every time! Try the half cake half cheesecake or any of their baked goods. They also have homemade tamales and Mexican sodas. Best freshest concha in Texas. Everything to pick is like 85 cents or less. Like I said it's amazing! read more

Had beef and chicken fajitas . Lacked spice taste and beef was extra tough. Got plenty for the money, just didn't taste good

Whoa, what a great Mexican bakery- right off the freeway too! Driving from Houston to Dallas, we were in search of a bakery of some sort, to fill our stomachs of breakfast breads. I read the reviews about Arandas- and their website too, as it's quite a story, and as it was right off the highway, we decided to stop. When you enter the bakery, it's HUGE. And they have fresh buns in case after case after case- I'm not sure what exactly we picked- an elote, a cava? , a buttery croissant, and some other buns that were cute (like shaped like turtles), and they were just delicious. The bakery had the trays and tongs (similar to Chinese bakeries), and the buns were priced so cheap too- buns being about 30-50 cents each. And they were soooo fresh. The cakes looked amazing too- as I was looking at the prices, I was kind of jealous I didn't live in the area, as the cakes were very reasonably priced, and if the cakes were as good as their breads, I'm sure it would have been phenomenal. If you're looking for a great bakery with tons (and I mean, a LOT) of different sweet breads and buns to try, on top of cakes and tamales- definitely stop by Arandas- I was so happy we did. read more

Well this place has a good variety of different styles of sweet bread, plus donuts, pastries, flan & custom cakes !!!!! If you are craving something sweet this place will make you happy, I recommend this place !! read more

Ordered a birthday cake for daughters 18th birthday - from someone who previously owned a custom cake bakery, Arandas Bakery is a must for your baked goods. Cake frosting was smooth, not grainy, not too sweet. The tres leches cake was moist and on point good. Excellent Job!!!! read more

Terrible service, I asked the ladies for help to find some items and they denied to help me, they said that it is self serve and they can not do that! No customer service whatsoever. read more

Ordered a cake not too long ago & came out nothing as we expected we gave them specific instructions on how to spell the name of the birthday girl & everything,they did nothing to the cake and left it simple I had a bad experience with this place she was turning 15 and at least deserved a cake with her name on it such a shame. read more

This is a hidden gem in Conroe. Grab a plate and some tongs and get ready to purchase some great, cheap pastries! The croissants are huge, and they have really good kolaches.

Arandas Bakery - YUM! - Bakeries Near Me - Conroe, Texas

This place has some pretty good bread but the reason why I'm giving this two stars is because the place is really dirty and there are flies touching the bread read more

My usual location for Arandas Bakery is the Airline location. This one just happens to be a little closer to my new house so I decided to check it out. At first glance the selection was awesome. I was super excited to see that they had empanadas of cajeta. The problem was that when I finally tried them, they had hardly any cajeta in them and they completely lacked in flavor. I've tried a couple of different pieces of bread and so far I have not been impressed at all. It wasn't terrible, but it just wasn't worth the calories. I definitely rather drive down to Airline if I'm craving Arandas. read more

Two words- Great Tres Leches- or thats three words , so three words. I had never had tres leches with fruit in it. This is the best cake in Texas. Great flavor, moist texture, and priced right. this little bakery is just what you need to satisfy any sweet tooth you may have. I also tried the tamales (pork) and they are really good. Nice staff too. It is ethnic inside. Tongs to get the pastries and all the glass doors. Like going to a Mexican Bakery which I really like. Its a must try right here in Conroe. read more

I used to love this bakery, however, I ordered a birthday cake that was supposed to be filled strawberries. When we cut into it at the party, we were disappointed to find it filled with peaches. I tried to call the bakery several times to complain, but I don't speak great Spanish. I was unable to communicate with anyone about my complaint and they kept transferring me to different employees or telling me to call back later . When I finally got ahold of an English speaking manager 3 days later, she was very rude and told me I should've called sooner. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated with how the entire situation was handled. We will not be returning to this bakery. read more

Great Mexican bakery. Fresh bake breads, pastries, and cookies. Very reasonable price, I recommend you stop in and find out for yourself.

They failed to get me my order on time. I went in three days prior to when I needed it and when I went to pick it up 3 days later, they told me they forgot to put the order it so it would be late. I even paid half of the order and they failed to submit the order! read more

Arandas Bakery has the absolute best flan/cheesecake topped with fresh fruit drizzled with a strawberry sauce. AWESOME. From breads, cookies and cakes to having hot fresh tamales. I love this place. Why did it take me so long to find it? So glad that I did!!! Will never go anywhere else for my cakes. read more
