I remember how excited I was when i first heard of its opening. I got excited that there was going to be a dedicated Panaderia. My first visit was a couple of weeks after grand opening. And i have visited at least four time. All during night time. The place is always very quiet and mute, service is dismissible. The employees that I have interacted with never smile. Which is a shame, most panaderias, per say, in San Jose, are usually very positive experiences. Not here. It's like they don't want to be there. Or maybe they're just too tired, nobody likes night shifts in food service. I get it. The pricing for this pan dulce is a tad bit more pricey than most places Ive visited. Even then, I wont take away that it is good quality. I've probably had at least 1/2 their types of pan they offer. Which why I have not stopped dropping by here and there, also, my son loves the dulce cuernitos. read more

They are located in the same Livermore shopping center as Target. Closer to Big 5, Tmobile and the gas station. Kind of tucked away. Lots of parking here. Tried some of their pastries. Got 3 donuts, a pound cake, a pineapple cake, and a giant palmier. All good with coffee. They also have savory items but I didn't try those this visit. A local bakery small business. I don't think this location has been here that long. I think they have a spot in Hayward and this is their 2nd location. read more

Saw this on tik tok and decided to drive in. The pastries were all really great and we were able to take some to my husbands employees with nothing but great feedback. We were also able to try a few of their dishes and thought they were just ok. Probably would not return for the food but pastries were a 10/10. The dulce de leche latte was also a 10/10 and def would recommend read more

I ordered a custom cake (Frida Kahlo themed) from Don Polvoron for my birthday. The cake was a huge success. It was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully decorated!!! the flavor was tres leches, and the feeling was cream with fresh mango. Ordering the cake was very easy. I placed the order in person four days in advance. I prepared it with my credit card and I told him the time when I would pick it up. They also make large wedding cakes or cakes for any occasion. I also bought a few pastries. A traditional concha and a Pinguinos chocolate muffin. they had many different pastries as well, although I did not try them. The pastries were a solid choice and freshly baked. I noticed that many people were also eating Mexican food that they also cook at their restaurant. Parking was easy and free. They also have accessible parking near the front entrance. read more

Came to try their horchata latte one morning. You can definitely tell the horchata is house-made. It hits different in the best way: creamy and super flavorful. This is not your regular taqueria spot horchata. That said, I do wish it had been strained more to make it smooth. Even after mixing and swirling the drink, I kept getting chunks and grains with each sip, ended up doing more chewing than sipping, which isn't what I'm looking for in a coffee experience. The coffee itself is already chilled in a pitcher, so it's served cold and ready to go. Hopefully it was just an off day, since it's a new drink they're offering. The horchata flavor is there, just needs a little refining! The staff could've been a bit friendlier this visit. Happy to see they added little name signs to the breads! :) read more

Don Polvoron opened where Petra Middle East Cuisine once was. Interior updated with bakery section and Mexico pics on walls. Offerings (Mexican): bakes, eats-breakfast, drinks, burritos, breakfast tortas, antojitos (street snacks: Tamales, quesadillas..), Waiting for service while 3 latinas alternating serving patrons at bakery & ringing them up at central register. No numbers for lineup. Easy for a senorita to "cut" in line ahead of me. Didn't know breakfast available. So didn't partake. Bites: Almohada's de queso (pillow cake 3.10) -x's on the surface. Some purée like substance in the middle mixed with queso (cheese). Interesting.. Dane's relleno (danish-ish 4) -peach & strawberry purée/jam in middle. Mex. Breading not same as danish. Not my "jam". Napolitano (3.10) -white icing atop. Soft cake underneath. Some parts not so soft. 3.5 stars bakes not my style. Would stick to breakfast next time. read more

Had a pierna guisada torta per recommendation from the worker and two conchas (pan dulce) three weeks ago in May for lunch. I thought the torta was really good! I like that it comes with a side of sauce you can eat it with. The selection of pastries was very impressive but I just settled for the pan dulce. I thought it was alright. It was pretty but tasted a bit old and dry. I think my standards are a bit high because I tried one in Cancun before and it was fantastic! I think if I heated it up it would be alright paired with a coffee to start the day. Overall this is a decent place to get Mexican pastries and a quick breakfast/lunch! I would come back and try other pastries. Very friendly workers! read more

Adorable new panaderia with Mexican food including tortas, tamales, flautas, pupusas, etc. They do not serve tacos and burritos other than a breakfast burrito in the morning. I'm assuming this is due to Cinco taco next-door. Went during lunch and there were several folks working and I was greeted promptly at the door. There's a few tables, but most of the food is taken to go. Oh yum love their pan! Had the upside down pineapple muffin that was so fresh and tasty. Couldn't stop myself from eating it while I waited for my Sope and pupusa. Their food is made to order and everything is very fresh. That was probably one of the best sope I've had in a while. Freshly fried dough pilled with beans, roasted pork, lettuce & tomato. I took the pupusa to go. It was perfectly made and filled with beans and cheese. Since it was meticulously made by a baker, there was no cheese spillage, resulting in no yummy crunchy fried cheese edges. The bakery is where Petra's Middle Eastern food used to be in the same shopping center as Target next-door to Cinco Taco. This is more of an upscale Panadería and the prices reflect that. read more

I stopped in during their grand opening and was warmly welcomed. They were offering samples of their sandwiches (tortas) and other treats. They had a variety of pan dulce. It all looked so delicious and guess what, it's as good as it looks! At least the concha and cuerno (horn) I had were delicious. They offer custom cakes and food. I can't wait to try! I'm delighted that Livermore finally has a place to get pan dulce!! read more

This place is awesome! Simple Mexican food is amazing and great for the price! If not looking to eat savory, their pastries are amazing and fresh. Service is friendly and prompt. Place is simple and chill with seating to eat. read more

the friendliness, courtesy, cleanliness and good vibes of this business exceed the quality and price of the product. the flavor, texture, freshness and size of pastries was on par with those of latin bakeries i've tried over in tracy , but price was more here. prices in tracy ranged from 1.25 to 1.75, while here they were 1.60 to 3.15. Still, the sweets were superior to those of the local mexican grocery store in town. the burritos were 12$ and way smaller than at other local places. meat was very shredded on the chicken and asada, and dispersed through plentiful rice. ok tasty, but i missed the fresh taste of pico and cilantro and bite size pieces of meat. overall, the 56$ for 2 burritos and a dozen sweets was not worth it. read more

Liked the food. The pupusas were good. Tacos de canasta were good. The sope de asada was decent. I think the asada could've been more tender. The pan dulce was good too and brought it home. I would go back and try other stuff. read more

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences my family has ever had. My sister ordered a pupusa and bit into a piece of glass that was inside her food. Her mouth immediately started bleeding. It was terrifying and completely unacceptable. We brought it to the staff's attention, and instead of taking it seriously or showing real concern, they acted dismissive and unprofessional. On top of that, the service was already bad before this even happened. A short lady who works there was especially rude and had a nasty attitude the entire time. Finding glass in food is a serious safety issue. The way this was handled makes it even worse. We will never come back and strongly warn others to be careful eating here read more

The hospitality is immaculate! The food is devine and the pán is scrumptious! My husband and I got Torta Cubanas and 2 drinks. I got a carrot and OJ juice and he got Jamaica. So so good! It was chilly outside and they offered to bring in a table for us from outside because there was a full house. It didn't take long for the food to be ready. Our drinks tasted so fresh and delicious!! The torta Cubanas were amazing! The salsa it came with was perfect. I'm so happy we stopped here on our way back home to the Central Valley from the bay area. They even gave us 2 free polvorones and they were delicious! Thank you so so much for welcoming us here. read more

I'm so glad to have Don Polvorón in Livermore. It's the perfect spot to experience authentic Mexican flavors, and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Highly recommended! I have been here twice now. The first time was to buy desserts for a family night which everyone loved and the second was today for lunch. We ordered 2 Sopes de asada and the tacos de canasta. My husband and I were so happy with our food as everything was authentic and felt like a home cooked meal that was made by my traditional hispanic family. The service at Don Polvorón is also something worth mentioning. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcomed . It's clear that they take great pride in the quality of their food. Whether you're stopping by for a quick meal or grabbing something sweet to go, you'll leave with a smile on your face. Go check it out! read more

Such a beautiful array of freshly baked Mexican breads. We've been a couple of times so far and each time we were treated very warmly by the staff. The treats I've tried so far were delicious.

Horrible service. I had a large order to go and they forgot to add my tamales. I called to tell them, they apologized and said it was their mistake and was told I could pick them up. When I arrived the lady over the counter gave me attitude, and told me they didn't have them. She then turned her back to me and ignored me. I flagged another worker down and told him to cancel my second order and explained the situation. I was promised a refund and it's been a week and have not received it. At this point they can keep that money.. read more

Everything here was tasty and delicious! Bought a couple dozen assorted pastries for a get together and everyone loved it, no leftovers!!

This is for the carrot cake muffin only, it was sooooo good! Perfect ratio of spices, sweetness, and it was really moist. Wasn't sure what to expect, because I'm very picky about my carrot cake but they did good! I'd like to try some other desserts, and maybe something for dinner. read more

I was excited to try this place when it first popped up. The girl helping was super sweet and the pan dulce is so good!

My husband and I tried this place for the first time today and loved everything we ordered. We had two pupusas, a pork tamale, a sope, plus a pineapple empanada and a guava canasta for dessert. Every bite was delicious, but the tamale really stood out -- incredibly moist and full of flavor. The baked goods were the perfect sweet treat to end our meal. We'll definitely be back! read more
