    FREE CAKE TASTINGS every TUESDAY 5pm-7pm!!! Wow and incredible bakery goods! Also food menu of authentic Mexican dishes: Breakfadt Lunch Dinner

    Rebanada de Rosca de Reyes

    El pan de este lugar es delicioso, lo súper recomiendo , el mejor de aquí de Hayward me atrevo a decirlo , su precio es un poco más alto que otras panaderías pero vale la pena, además venden teleras muy buenas y grandes perfectas para una buena torta Mexicana o Lonches como les llaman en algunas partes de México . Me encantó ver que venden Rosca de Reyes en rebanadas sin necesidad de comprar toda la rosca , rebanadas individuales

    75th Wedding Anniversary cake for my parents.

    I was very happy the way my cake turned out for my Parents 75th Anniversary cake. I ordered a cake for their 70th and My Mom loved it and wanted me to order it from them again. They are reliable and I recommend them.

    We get our cakes from Don Polvoron and they're always sooo good. We usually get their tres leches but have also gotten chocolate. Our guests always comment about how much they love the cake. The bakers also do a great job matching the cake decorations to the photos we share with them. Highly recommend.

    I stopped by here quickly to grab some dessert for a party I was going to. I got a whole pound cake and some corn breads that looked really good. loved the butter pound cake. It's so fluffy and dense at the same time, it tasted very homely. Something you can never get tired of. They had a lot of different treats. I saw people come by and try lot of different things! The service was fast, they even har seating inside towards the left. The menu also had some savory stuff.

    Tres leches cake
    Vrushali N.

    Excellent and I mean tres leches cake! Also bonus points for the fact that they have some tres leches cakes ready to buy and don't need to be pre ordered. Thank you to the good folks that Don Polvoron!

    As we continued our cake tasting adventures we discoved this bakery and met with the owner: Jorge Flores who has been at this location for 18 years with 16 employees! An amazing cake artist who also studied with the REAL Cake Boss; Buddy Valastro! Jorge's cake was moist with a real "killer" buttercream. We bought pastries, (try the bread pudding...yummmm) AND special ordered my Birthday Cake from him which will be in the shape of my Westie Dog. I will post it in May when I get it. The display cases were fully stocked on a Monday with heavy foot traffic, this is a true landmark that merits our support with a kind, gentle, talented owner who cares about his product and staff. There no cake he cannot create

    3.5 I've gotten baked goods here before. I usually go for the empanadas dulce. They don't have as many options at the moment (due to SIP I'm assuming). Everything still looked good and fresh, but I didn't go for the sweets this time. I ordered one cheese pupusa and one pork tamal. Both were very good. The pupusa was filled with a good amount of cheese. Perfect on the outside with a slight crust. Good size as well. I like the cheese they use. They gave a lot of curtido (which also had a lot of flavor). I really don't like when places barely give you any! I have to have the perfect pupusa/curtido ratio. Tamal was nice and soft. It had a good amount of filling and it had just the right amount of salt. I waited about 20 minutes for my food. I thought it was kinda long but I mean it tasted good and things take time right. Maybe I was just impatient and hangry, idk. The lady cooking the food can to the front and called out to me. When she was handing me the bag she whispered something into the other lady worker's ear. I hope she wasn't taking about me but let's be real. When people do that they probably are.

    Jorge always turns my vision into reality. Love his work!

    Jorge did an amazing job on my birthday cake. I love reaching out to Don Polvoron for all my cake and dessert needs. Never disappoints.

    Had my sons wedding cake by Jorge!! It was 9 tiers and he had us pick any flavor that we wanted!! We schedule cake tasting and met with Jorge. He's one of the Best in the business!! Very professional, friendly and went above and beyond my expectations! Thank you Jorge for a Job Well Done!!

    Even better than I asked. It was so tasty too! Fresa con crema de fresa.

    When I moved to the east bay, this bakery was highly recommended to me by all the Hayward natives i know. They have delicious pan dulce and licuados. I have yet to taste their food, but they offer a wide variety of options. I got my gender reveal cake here, and my sons 2nd birthday cake. Delicious and beautiful! Highly recommend.

Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^

I usually go to the Pleasanton spot but happened to be nearby and wanted to get a cake for Mother's day. I understand that because it is a holiday that they were going to be busy, but it was incredibly disorganized inside with people cutting in and out of line at the counter and the staff were too busy to redirect customers or take orders. Incredibly frustrating as there were several instances of people just cutting their way in line and just placing their orders/getting served ahead of everyone else by just walking straight up to the register. When it came to my turn the staff asked for my order then turned around and instead went and took care of someone who had cut in front straight to the register to buy bread when I had already been waiting in line for awhile. They did not even bother asking if they had been waiting there before or had cut the line, the staff just skipped me just because that person had gone straight up to the register. Incredibly frustrating situation and I just did not want to get into it with the line cutter or the staff. Was still able to pick up the cake but I would skip this place since they can't even set up a system for a line/queue. Go to the Pleasanton spot instead and skip this spot.

It was sweet and decadent for sure. Definitely perfect for sharing! I loved the blueberry ube cheesecake and so did Mom! I was looking for my leftovers and they disappeared from the fridge. Creamy and slightly fruity with that thick buttery crust-- amazing! Pistachio Ricotta cake was light and moist. Perfect when you want something delicately sweetened for tea time. Red Velvet cheesecake cup was just ok for me due to the cheesecake frosting. I think I would've preferred a whole slice of cake instead. This bakery kiosk is a part of Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant Moussaka. Interior has the cutest cafe tables and chairs. Love the grey with baby pink + mint green color scheme. Step inside and go directly to the dessert display to place an order. They're also on DoorDash. Can't wait to see what Chef Nile comes up with next!
