Súper suavecitos y con un sabor que me recuerda al pan de telera que uno compra en México. Cada mordida sabe a casa y a tradición bien hecha. Siempre que vengo al valle paso por aquí. Vale la pena llegar tempranito porque el pan sale calientito y se acaba rápido. Eso ya dice todo. La familia que atiende es muy linda y se nota que le ponen corazón a su negocio y a la comunidad. Es una panadería que realmente es parte del alma del barrio. Me encanta llegar y comprar pan para llevar. Las conchas son lo mejor sin duda. Pero mi consejo es probar poquito de todo. Las empanadas están bien ricas y las galletitas también. Todo tiene ese sabor auténtico que no se imita. Este lugar sabe a puro México. Es tradición es cariño y es comunidad en cada bolsa de pan. Si pasan por el valle no se lo pierdan.

Walking through the doors is nostalgic invoking your own walk through history. If you've never been you won't be disappointed and begin your own experiences. Grab a box with one of everything and you still will have plenty more to sample. Ive traveled through many states and places specializing in this sweet pastries but never find anything as delicious. The staff is very friendly eager to help and always smiling. Even the owner will be there in the front lines assisting. Like the olden days. You can even get a cup of coffee and talk story. They also have a few grocery items in case you need to grab milk, eggs and a soda. The ambiance is just down home. Maybe I'll see you there grabbing your favorite piece of "pan dulce".

So, before breakfast commenced and the coffee from Chiapas was poured for those attending, we opened the box to discover the colorful mix she had chosen. The flaky brown and tan biscuits were the first plate we tried with our homemade strawberry jam and cream cheese. I tasted mine plain at first to get a sense of the composition. The resounding taste of butter in the near bread told me of the quality was on par with any I had enjoyed before. Biscuits are not difficult to make, but doing so consistently is important. Then we tasted the dark brown gingerbread pigs, known as "puerquitos", which were gloriously fresh with a dusting of confectionery sugar. I was impressed again and the subtle taste of piloncillo found its way into every taste. While it's mildly unfair to review a place based solely on its takeout, El Fenix made a very good impression on me, and I look forward to visiting in the near future.

The owner was so sweet and helpful! She was so patient with me as I was deciding what to try! The space is small but they had everything neatly on display. I have to say, I'm a little surprised at some of these reviews because every item I purchased was delicious! I tried their strawberry cupcake and the cake was moist and flavorful! The frosting was a little too sweet but the tartness of the jelly filling balanced everything out. I tried their lavender and cookies and cream macarons and they were so good! I liked that the lavender had a tart filling in the center. I got a cosmic brownie for my brother to try and he said it was amazing! I also got a danish which was pretty good and I just had to get a lemon bar and one of the blueberry pie bars because they are the best! This is my new go to place for baked goods! Reasonably priced compared to other newer bakeries popping up!
