    Rosca de Reyes
    Jean R.

    I bought a Rosca the Reyes from here. 20/10!!! It was delicious!!! Moist and tasted homemade! This place is a hidden gem! The Rosca cost $20 for the small size

    The masa just crumbled ugh!!

    Very kind people but I went to see what the hype was all about with their tamales, I was very disappointed... tamales were dry the meat tasted old the masa was so dry ....

    Large tamale before we unwrapped it

    We made a list of potential tamale spots the evening of December 23, knowing we were cutting it close to find some on Christmas Eve. This was our first stop on December 24, and we're so glad it was! The moment we walked in, we saw the team hard at work in the back, busily making fresh tamales, which immediately gave us hope. We left with 5 dozen tamales in a variety of flavors: chicken, pork, beef, and cheese. While we wish the flavors were labeled a bit better, it didn't take away from the experience. The tamales were fantastic--the masa was light and fluffy, and the meat-to-masa ratio was spot-on. They were a hit with our family on Christmas Day, and we're already planning to return next year. This spot has earned a permanent place in our holiday traditions! Let me know if this works or if you'd like any changes!

    Love this panaderia! It reminds me of the ones I grew up going to. The pandulce is always fresh and delicious!!! We are always greeted when we go in, everyone is so friendly and helpful. If you're looking for authentic pandulce ... go here!! You won't regret it. This weekend I went for concha's to make concha French toast and it came out delicious!

    Mini conchas
    Marie C.

    8:30am- Was around the area and decided to stop by per a coworker's recommendation of the sweet bread (conchas). Located right on the corner, street parking only on the side street or directly in front of store. I wasn't greeted when I came in neither was there a smile on the young lady face while I tried to figure how to place an order. Eventually the people who came behind me went on to grab a tray and I knew what to do. No customer service skills at all, should smile at least when people walk thru the door. Well when you come in you grab a tray and some tongs and proceed to grab the backed goods, when done you take your bread to the counter and they bag them for you. Although, I will not be coming back the "conchas" were good.

    Great customer service and their mini conchitas are the best which goes perfect with their champurrado.

    Conchas and croissant are really good. Parking is a bit of a challenge depending on time of day.

    They are following social distancing. The bread is good and no more group chats around the entrance. Safe to go back.

Tu sais, il y a plein de restos français en Californie, mais celui-là est différent. Plus intime, plus sincère. On était une table de huit, et à un moment donné, le proprio est venu nous saluer. Un geste tout simple, mais tellement chaleureux et élégant. Ce genre d'accueil, ça ne s'oublie pas. Les serveurs et l'hôte sont tout aussi charmants, super accueillants, attentionnés, avec une belle énergie. Il nous a raconté qu'il est arrivé de France après le secondaire, puis qu'il a ouvert cet endroit après ses études. Il y a quelque chose de discrètement admirable là-dedans. Et maintenant, ils pensent déjà à s'agrandir... peut-être deux autres adresses à Atwater Village. Très bien. Le menu est plutôt style déjeuner/brunch--léger, bien portionné, rien de trop. Mais l'ambiance... c'est vraiment là que ça brille. Douce, cozy, pleine de charme. Les œuvres aux murs viennent de France, et ça donne une vraie âme à l'endroit, ça se ressent. Je dois dire que c'est assez rare que je ressente une ambiance aussi chaleureuse dans un resto français. On se sent accueilli, un peu comme chez quelqu'un. Pour huit personnes, environ 300 $, c'est vraiment raisonnable pour une expérience comme ça. Si tu passes dans le coin, ça vaut vraiment la peine d'y arrêter. Bravo Oh La La... à bientôt

    This review is for the cinnamon roll only - my bf and I are in search of the best cinnamon treats…read morein LA and hearing the hype about this cinnamon roll made it a must-try on our list! First, the good: the cinnamon roll was moist and fluffy all the way through. No dry cinnamon rolls here! The service was also very friendly. The not so good: my first bite, which somehow managed to not have much icing, gave me a clear taste of the dough. It reminded me a lot of canned biscuit dough. I prefer a thicker icing, this one was quite runny and very sweet without any nuance to the flavor. Also, I really wanted to try the peach cobbler cupcakes but they didn't have any cupcakes in stock at all, only a few cake slices. We went around noon, and I hoped they would have plenty of options around that time :/ Unfortunately I've had much better cinnamon rolls elsewhere in LA. It's still tasty because, well, it's a cinnamon roll... but not sure I'll be back unless it's to try the cake or cupcakes.
