    Lots of Mexican style pastries
    Brenda I.

    Found this place by a referral from a nearby bakery I visited today. I asked where I could find tamales? I remembered that Xmas season is high time for tamales and I was hoping to score some today. It's one of my husbands favorite food. There is very limited parking spots at the storefront which is located at a busy corner intersection. I decided I should try to park along the street and walk to the shop. Inside the shop, I was greeted nicely . There are some tables for dining in. Nothing fancy, but you can choose to eat here if you want to. There are many things to order besides tamales! They have burritos, tortas, combo plates, soups, tacos, tamales, drinks , pastries, cookies and specials of the day. The young lady at the counter was pleasant and waited patiently while I asked her a couple questions and then took my order. I got 1/2 dozen chicken(pollo) with green sauce ( verde). My order was ready in no time, about 5 minutes. My tamales were fresh and hot! I didn't really expect it to be. My husband got a nice treat when I got home. He eats it plain. Btw, the menu is in Spanish. My high school Spanish came in handy. Although the young miss who helped me spoke English. * FYI, I noticed after I paid that there are different prices for the items. It depends whether you pay cash or by credit card. It's about $ 0.32 less if you pay cash! I'll be stopping by here again, now that I know there's HOT tamales served here .

    Canela's Bakery is an awesome bakery! The staff are also always so sweet and kind. I've been here and few times before and their food never disappoints! Their pupusas are mouth watering, and so are their burritos. I brought my mom today to try their food after doing a self-care day. The bakery was nice and clean. We came for lunch and ordered the chilaquiles and they were BOMB! We ordered a tamale each as well, a coffee and Agua Fresca Jamaica. I love that Jamaica wasn't too sweet and freshly made. The food was so delicious, my mom loved it! She loves seeing the display case of all the fun themed Pan Dulce options. We bought a few Pan Dulce to take home and share. They have a such a variety! If you haven't tried this spot, it's a must! They have a great variety of home cooked food on their menu. Everything for soups, tortas, pupusas, chilaquiles, burritos and more! If you're ever in the area or want to take a drive to montebello this is a must!

    Not just a Mexican Bakery. It's also a cafe/restaurant. They have a great variety of Mexican food dishes ranging from Soups, tortas, burritos and plates. This is not your fine dining (if thats what you are into, sorry ...this isn't for you). This is just great food you grew up with (in a Mexican house hold) at a reasonable price. With eating out now being so expensive, this place offers a great Mexican food at a great value. The crew is very courteous and attentive and very nice. Ok seating with an open space inside. Oh, and they have weekly specials (see pic)

    Pork tamal but more like just mass

    Picked up some tamales and all I ate was masa! What happened? Do better! Review is purely on the tamal

    Amazing breakfast burritos! Nopales, chile relleno, chorizo were all on point. Highly recommend. Service was nice as well.

    This is a cute Mexican bakery that I had been to before. We were passing by and decided to try a tamale. I got the red pork and JJ got the green Chile and cheese (Rajas) ($2.50 each). I also love pan dulce, and got a concha, and JJ got a peanut butter cookie. Sadly, the pork tamale was extremely dry (the meat). The masa was good however, and flavorful. I did eat the whole thing though, but would definitely not recommend this and would never get it again. The pan dulce- concha was also very disappointing. It was a bit stale, and I wouldn't recommend this either. JJ however, enjoyed his green Chile and cheese tamale. He said it was good, but I didn't taste it. He also said the peanut butter cookie was good. I did taste this, and it was good. Very soft and crumbly..tasty overall. The interior has a few small tables where you can sit down and eat. Nice ambience. They also have their own parking lot. I wouldn't completely rule out Canela's Bakery, as there are some items that are good. You'd have to try it out for yourself if you happen to be in the area.

    AWESOME WORKER

Everyone that had a slice of the cake was also very shocked at how good it tasted. The cream is light, the mango portions are extremely generous, and the sponge cake in the middle is the perfect size. It was all very well balanced. I genuinely felt the love that went into this cake. The facility does also bake with almonds and walnuts. For anyone with peanut allergies, contaminants is not something to worry about. Overall, I'd love to try other items the bakery offers!

Small parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking. Located right in the corner of Whittier and Maple Ave (next to Walgreens). Upon entering, the bakery does look a bit old and outdated but it was clean. They had different types of cakes on display for sale with prices. I came mainly to try their slices of cake and went for the famous mango slice and I wanted to try the chocolate flan. I can see why everyone is raving about the mango cake! It's soft and taste fresh. Layers of sponge cake, whipped cream and fresh mangos inside. Chocolate flan was ok. It wasn't too sweet. Chocolate cake on the bottom with flan on top. However the chocolate shavings on top tasted a bit...artificial? Overall, not a bad slice of cake. I think the owner is Asian because only Asian bakeries make their cakes like sponges. It is not too sweet and so light. I don't have to travel to SGV to get my cakes now since its right down the street from my work. I was able to get prices on full sheet cakes if I was to order a big cake. He did say to give them 1-2 days advance when ordering. I will be back!

Two items for immediate consumption and then some cookies for later. We purchased a dozen of the regular size cookies, including both Ube and Thai Tea. Both of them were excellent, and I felt they were priced appropriately at a dozen for $18. The Thai Tea seriously tasted like you were truly drinking a thai tea. We also shared one large classic chocolate chip cookies (so yummy!) The only thing we didn't understand is that we shared a Ube Tres Leches. I am not sure what was going on. Don't get me wrong, what we ate was very good; however, it was 100% not Tres Leches. It was an Ube Cream with some graham cracker crumble underneath. So, my assumption is that they must have just given us the wrong item. I would love to try the Tres Leches again in the future. Please support his lovely local business. It was a real treat!

I do see myself coming back here in the future, and I really hope to see this place succeed!

Then the person I went with suggested we get the tea eggs too. I thought the pineapple bun with pork floss tasted good. It had everything you went expect from a pineapple bun, with the addition of the pork floss. Then the coconut milk drink made me question whether that drink is actually better than boba (it just might be). Plus, I think trying the tea egg for the first time was definitely a highlight, because I tried a century egg the same day from elsewhere and the tea egg is just so much better in my personal opinion. I really enjoyed the tea egg and I'm kind of craving more of them! Anyway, the service here is nice and attentive. The ambiance is that of a nice bakery where you pick up things on the shelves that are prepackaged and then go on your merry way. Definitely worth a visit!
