    cake design
    Alexandra B.

    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.

    At almost 6:30PM, still lots to choose from!

    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! :)

    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.

    Pan Dulce
    Whitney T.

    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!

    The employees were very nice and helpful. The conchas are SUPER SOFT!!! Will definitely be coming back for more of those. They also sell custom cakes for events.

    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.

    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!!

    I love my new found breakfast spot!!! They have delicious eggs and chorizo and beans breakfast with homemade tortillas. Fresh! Queso and crema mexicana. Fabuloso! Try the pan dulces and the cafecito. Everyone is so friendly and fast. The place is always clean and welcoming.

    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.

    small assortment of mexican baked goods and hot food. they also have a meat display for popular custom cakes! the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. they didn't rush us when there was a line growing. everything was clean and neat. gotta try their coffees next time.

This place seem smaller than the other location in Dublin I think it was. Everything else seems the same though. You get a number after you order at the counter and look for somewhere to seat. You also take this opportunity to grab your drink, utensils, and chips and salsa. Food was served right after. Ube pancakes - Delicious. Tall stack of ube pancakes, ube sauce, whipped cream, and fruits. It was soo good but it was a lot. I think it is pretty shareable. I would get this again and again when I come back. We also got the avocado toast that came with a side salad that was also pretty good. I remember we got some items from the case too and I think they were also good I just don't remember. The only draw back to the place is it does get pretty busy especially in the weekends, and it is pretty pricey. Overall still a must visit!

You have to wait in the line to place order and then you can take a seat. The Hawaiian influenced cuisine and big portions cannot be beaten by any restaurant in nearby area. We ordered pancakes, Vietnamese iced coffee, keiki pancake, veggie omlette, chicken apple salad sandwich, scrambled eggs and everything was scrumptious. No place to pinpoint something was amiss. The service is quick. Chips and salsa on the house is perfect for hungry bellies. Space is less but the place runs busy on weekends. They have a shared parking lot and it wasn't difficult to find two parkings. It's a typical fast paced American diner but with realistic flavors and portions.

For dinner, I ordered the smash burger, though it wasn't really a traditional smash burger and felt more like a regular burger with two very thick patties. That said, it was still good. The fries were hot and fresh, and our server was very kind. My husband enjoyed his fish tacos. They needed some salsa on the side though, which we asked about but it wasn't spicy. We also noticed they were promoting their upcoming Easter brunch at the time and we were looking for a spot for Easter too. Making an Easter brunch reservation was easy and smooth. The staff member on the phone was helpful and accommodating when we needed to adjust our headcount. We arrived 30 min before our reservation but they were able to seat us which we appreciated. The brunch itself was decent, but I'm not sure I would return for the value. It was a buffet-style brunch that included coffee, tea, and sodas. The prime rib needed a bit more flavor, we didn't see any au jus which would've helped, although it was nice to have a carving station and a made-to-order omelette bar. Some of the hot items were kept in warming trays but were more lukewarm than hot. They advertised waffles, but I didn't initially see any on the buffet, so we asked. A staff member mentioned they had batter available and kindly made fresh waffles for us in the kitchen. They were brought out beautifully topped with strawberries, cinnamon, and whipped cream. When we requested another order, we asked a different server for the same preparation, but the staff member who originally made them was back at his station, so we received a plain waffle instead. When we asked another server for strawberries, he somewhat abruptly and rudely pointed us to the buffet and said there was fruit available over there outside. We checked, but there were no strawberries at that time, so we didn't pursue it further. Later, when we ordered waffles again, there were still none on the buffet. I happened to speak with the same server again (that pointed to the fruit earlier), and he rudely said there were waffles out and we could get them ourselves, but then I told him that there weren't any as I had just come from there, and he acknowledged the issue. It seemed that items were not being consistently monitored or restocked. Unfortunately, the second round of waffles did not come out the same as the first and were missing the strawberries and whipped cream. However, the omelette station cook noticed and kindly brought us whipped cream when he passed by, which we appreciated. Overall, the ham was quite good. The salad selection felt a bit weak and looked wilted, and the dessert area was sparse with items not consistently refilled. The salmon was also slightly dry and could have benefited from more of the cream sauce. Positives: good dinner burger/fries, kind server, easy reservation process for Easter brunch, omelette station cook was very kind, some standout items (first waffles, ham) Negatives: inconsistent service, lukewarm buffet items, missing restocks, dry salmon, weak salad/dessert spread, and uneven guest handling (waffle/fruit issue + staff confusion)

Smaller restaurant with Asian decor. For the food we got the chicken omurice and pad kee mao with chicken. All very good! Chicken omurice: definitely the highlight and seems like one of their more popular dishes. The chicken was flavorful, hot, and has a nice crispy light batter. So good! The rice with egg really complimented the chicken as well. Good flavors and not overwhelming. Highly recommend Pad kee mao: good traditional flavors. It comes mild, so didn't have much of a kick. I don't eat too spicy so that was fine for me. If you prefer more spicy I recommend asking to increase the spicy level. Not the best I've had, but overall good I would definitely come back to try more dishes. Just the chicken omurice alone is enough to bring me back!

When…read morewe arrived, the place looked pretty calm with just one large party and a few scattered tables Honestly, perfect timing, because within minutes the brunch rush hit and the place filled up fast. We started strong with the truffle tots: crispy, well-seasoned, and topped with Parmesan. The sauce? Genuinely great. No notes there. The chicken omurice was also a win! flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you'd hope for. My daughter's "bear in a blanket" dish was almost too cute to eat, and our server kindly offered complimentary mini pancakes for my toddler (which we didn't even know was a thing). They were adorable and surprisingly good, even without syrup. I also ordered the cloud matcha, which was delicious. Now... the duck Benedict. I'm saving it for last for a reason and not a good one. It was, unfortunately, a complete miss. It lacked flavor in a way that was almost impressive. Like... aggressively bland. The spinach and tomato completely overpowered the duck, and even tasting the duck on its own didn't help. It was giving absolutely nothing. Nothing. I'd honestly suggest pulling it from the menu until improvements can be made. Overall, I'd return for everything except the duck Benedict. Hard pass on that one.

    Omg! I've been having breakfasts in Livermore for a long time and how did I miss this place?!!!…read moreSuper cute place with multiple seating areas, out front, indoors and back area with a BAR!!!!! The back area is so spacious to accommodate large parties! Let me tell you about the food!!! I got Ohana Pancakes, it comes with pineapple, coconut and Mac nut syrup. I got mine without pineapple and it was drooling delish!! The two pancakes were light and airy, not dense like some pancakes. Sprinkled with coconut and a heaping serving is their delicious Mac nut syrup!! I wish there was more mac nuts...but all good, still delish. My sister ordered Joe's omelette (scramble listed on the menu). It comes with ground beef, spinach, onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Comes with a side of toast and country potatoes. Again, a large portion of deliciousness! We also ordered Aloha mimosas- made with bubbles, vodka, passion, and guava. I couldn't finish it cuz they made it so good the alcohol was getting to my head This place is going to be a repeat place cuz I want to try everything on the menu! Everything we had was very tasty! Oh and of course one of our fav servers works there now. He didn't serve us but glad I got to see him. Pepe- we'll seat where you serve next time!!! See you again! I was so preoccupied by the cute place I forgot our server's name, which also provided excellent service!!! Thanks everyone! We'll be coming back again. And for those early birds like me, this place is open 6am-3pm only. So good to know I have somewhere to go that early in the am.

After having been seated, it took quite some time to get our food. Staff nonetheless were nice but a little slow to bring over requests (ie napkins). I ordered a Bloody Mary - 2/5. Tall cup but I felt like there was very little inside. Overall taste was nothing out of this world, very bland as was the garnish. For food I ordered the Philly Omlette - 2/5. The meat was so dry and lacked any seasoning! Disappointing - salsa was the only thing that saved it and ketchup for my potatoes. Of which, the potatoes were OK. Portion is huge, I definitely could have shared with 1 other person. Overall my experience was OK. Not to be my first choice for a future brunch spot in the area.
