Oh I can't believe I found this place. All organic. Hand made tacos. The taste is authentic. Service was so quick. It's a food truck outside and a bakery on the inside of the store. They are very authentic and local. read more

What a great little shop. The pastries and cakes all looked incredible (we got a few from the big case and everything was so good!). I also picked up some snacks as well as what looked like a loaf of bread with walnut toppings or something like that. I tried asking the friendly gentleman behind the counter but our language barrier prevented me from knowing exactly what that delicious concoction was properly called. I would love to try their cakes sometime, and get more tasty fresh baked pastries! read more

Este camión de tacos es muy bueno. Sus tacos al pastor y sus carnitas son deliciosos. Oscar fue muy simpatico y el servicio fue bueno.

Not the best Mexican mart I've been to around here. Not the biggest selection and the lil janitor boy last night mopping the floors was staring hard with the dirtiest look on his face. Place looked disgusting and unsanitary. I do NOT recommend. read more

First of all... Yelp has the address wrong! Which makes it really hard to figure out where the place is! It's on FOURTH PLAIN, not Fort Plain! But, the staff is amazing, and very helpful! And waaaay more affordable than all the other places I called for the same item!! I'm talking half the price!! I will B using this company 4 ALL my bakery needs!! read more

The food vendor outside has amazing authentic tacos - only downside is the lack of fans but the food more than makes up for it. Large portions of meat and only $3 each! Service is quick and always friendly. read more

(Español abajo) I do not recommend this bakery. I purchased two cakes, one marble and one Tres Leches. The cakes were 30 minutes late, one had the wrong name, the words were not centered, and the image was cut off (see pictures for details). The Marble cake was decent and no major complaints. The Tres Leches (Encanto) was dry and no sign of it being a Tres Leches. It was most likely a plain vanilla cake. When we went back to ask for a partial or full refund, the older gentleman that originally took our order was rude and told us to leave. He said we had underpaid for the cake (which he personally quoted us for with not indication that we were getting a discount) and therefore we did not have any rights ("if a person will pay [full price] and pays, then they have all the rights. But a $45 dollar cake, there's no point"). He also stated that I "had taken too long to order" - when I went in, I was just inquiring and trying to learn. He did seem impatient but I thought I had every right to ask for a minute to step a way and ask for advice from my family. No recomiendo esta panadería. Compré dos pasteles, una de marmol y una de Tres Leches. Los pasteles estaban listos 30 minutos tarde. Uno tenía el nombre equivocado, las palabras no estaban centradas y la imagen estaba cortada (ver imágenes para más detalles). El pastel de mármol estaba decente y no tengo quejas. El de Tres Leches (Encanto) estaba seco y no había señales de que fuera un Tres Leches. Lo más probable es que fuera un pastel de vainilla simple. Cuando volvimos a pedir un reembolso parcial o total, el señor que originalmente tomó nuestro pedido fue grosero y nos dijo que nos fuéramos. Dijo que habíamos pagado menos por el pastel (por lo que personalmente nos citó sin indicar que estábamos obteniendo un descuento) y, por lo tanto, no teníamos ningún derecho de reclamar (mire el video adjunto). También dijo que "había tardado demasiado en ordenar" - cuando ordene, solo fui para preguntar por el precio y Como lo podrían diseñar. Si parecía impaciente, pero pensé que yo tenía todo el derecho de pedir un minuto para llamar y pedir consejo a mi familia. read more

Left everything last minute for planning my daughter's birthday party. I realized I had not ordered a cake yet. I normally order from a bakery from SE when they advised they no longer had capacity for another cake. I was looking on reviews online and decided to go somewhere local. I put in the order with reference to a cake they had online. It was a little pricey but being last minute I was okay with it with hopes that the cake would look great and taste delicious. They texted me (3) days before the party to confirm what design I wanted. They executed perfectly everyone loved the cake I would come here again. Im so happy I no longer need to drive to Portland for cakes. read more

Si le pudriera dar un negativo le daría uno. Desafortunadamente para el sr. Linares. La verdad si me gustaba pero con la esta última experiencia. Mejor ni vayan. El pastel equivocado, me avisan un día antes, que ya estaba lo habían empezado, pero que se equivocaron y me dieron uno mucho más grande. El size equivocado. Lo pedí EXTRA MOJADO y me lo dieron EXTRA SECO Que cuando le reclame y le dije que le falta la parte de arriba, una decoración, una foto, Praga arriba, que no que pues ni modo tienen más gente que si lo quiero asta las 8 o más tarde, AUNQUE estaba anotado en el recibo y que básicamente le hablara como le hablo a un niño para que no se ofendan, que porque va a llorar, no fui grocery, simplemente le contestaba preguntando que qué pasó pero no le gusto como le hable y se ofendió y se hizo la ofendida y ya ahí quedo el pastel y todo. $90 DESPERDICIADOS. read more

W side of Fort Vancouver Wy. between 4th Plain and St. John's Blvd. I came here after seeing the rave reviews for this place and I must say.... I don't think I've ever been tricked so badly in my entire life. By the time I was finished I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come storming in Trucker Cap and all! Service was nice, but the store itself was quite dated, it was dark inside, and even though they did have seating during this cold Winter it was upstairs... no fun for somebody with a walking disability. Now onto the food. I had one of their Pumpkin Spiced Cupcakes: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/julia-bakery-vancouver?select=aIXhHvoCjdsOkURQt3SY0Q#A8oZxpSXwctcspIfJdw65A Looks great right? Looks can be and are deceiving! The frosting was a little too sweet and the vanilla sponge cake proved kind of dry and very flaky. I wasn't really a fan of this cupcake. The rest of their baked goods looked pretty good. Perhaps that is where their raves come from. They have their own lot and the nice thing about the Couv is that you rarely have to be concerned about finding parking! I'm not adding them to my "Black List," but I don't see myself rushing back! read more

I've been seeing this bakery for quite some time and decided to see what they had for sandwiches. First of all, don't let the outside detour you. It's kind of funky and doesn't look very welcoming. Take a chance and head on in. You'll see beautifully baked breads galore! Today, I was not on a mission for bread but I will be going back for my next yummy loaf. Bread is my weakness and the smell alone made me weak in the knees. Now onto the purpose of my visit. Spicy AND green olives? Yes, please!! There were four sandwiches to choose from. Their version of a sandwich is a baked ball of bread with deliciousness inside. I stopped listening when I heard "spicy" and "green olive" so I cannot tell you with any certainty what was in the other sandwiches. My ball of yummy had beautiful chunks of prosciutto, spicy peppers, green olives, and cheese. It was delicious and very filling. My only critique was the bread to filling ratio. Maybe 3:1, so you must like bread! And it's good soft bread! Of course I had to get a cookie, too! I always go with a chocolate chip cookie when I'm trying a new bakery out... It's a classic. This large round disc of goodness was pretty delicious but not the best I've had. I prefer a softer, doughy-like cookie. This one was crispy but not hard, which was a bonus. It was kind of crumbly which made it a little messy! Don't eat it in your car. Overall, I was satisfied! Plus, the staff person was very friendly! Always a good thing! I will definitely go back. I wish I could give 1/2 stars because I'm undecided about 3 or 4. If my sandwich was slightly less bready and my cookie was slightly more doughy, then it would definitely be a 4! read more

Birthday cake was beautiful, except for handwritten salutation, and good, BUT it was the WRONG flavor we ordered, and of course did not know it until happy birthday was sung and cake was cut. What a disappointment! We paid $80 for the cake. Called store and was told we could get 50% off NEXT order. I have lived here 11 years and have never visited this store so guess it will be another 11 years before I can get my 50% off. The man was rude and first said he made it and that it was the correct flavor, and then in another conversation he said the person that made it was in the hospital, huh?? I do not recommend unless you do not care what flavor you get! read more

Dulce Tentacion Bakery - MEDIUM TRES LECHES - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

My wife wanted a Cinnamon roll... upon taking one bite she said "Quit asking me for bites and go give them a 5 star review, this is the best I have ever had" She is hard to please and loved it! I usually get the dry out side of the roll from her, but they magically caramelized a layer of sugar on the out side to keep the whole roll nice and moist. We also picked up a few olive and sun dried tomato rolls that were awesome and a raspberry filled pastry that tickled our fancy. The location has a nice Vancouver flair to it... in a odd location in the dated office park? Who cares it was that good! $3 for the cinnamon roll and $1.5 for the savory rolls was a great deal. Check them out! read more

Dulce Tentacion Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I first heard about this bakery in The Columbian. Twice in a month's time. They were featured in the dining section with a full page review of their establishment and the second time a small blurb in the business section with mention of the fact that they're hoping to open up new locations -- one in Salmon Creek and another in Vancouver. In both reviews they were touted as Vancouver's only Organic Artisan Bakery. And as far as I know, this is quite true. It was exciting to find out that Vancouver (being so close to Portland with its plethora of delicious food establishments) actually had a made-from-scratch ORGANIC bakery. Basically, that meant "Wheee!!!" in my book. I LOOOOOVE good bread and I would also love to be able to make my own good bread. But until I am able to find the time to intern at a bakery or spend an entire year failing at making bread and wasting tons of flour and grain, I think I will continue to visit Julia's when I am in town. I have only had the pleasure of trying one variety of their bread -- the Olive Ciabatta. I was a bit overwhelmed by the assortment laid before me. Their website lists all the different bread they offer, but from my memory they have several varieties of ciabatta, whole wheat breads, sweet breads, sticky rolls/buns and I think I even saw some pita bread in the display case. The Olive Ciabatta was served up to me in a plain brown paper bag and as it was laid in my hands I realized that it had very recently come from the oven because it was just cooled enough to hold. It was a reasonably-sized loaf of bread for an even $5. I spent a few minutes browsing their small collection of bread baking books (including the famous "Crust & Crumb" which is incredibly intimidating) and smiling to myself at the different pages marked with Post-It notes. Once I reached the car I couldn't wait any longer and tore off a sizable piece and smiled AGAIN as I felt the crusty outside give way to a moist (I really don't like that word but there's not much other way to describe this bread) and airy interior. The bread was delicious and would have gone well with Greek OR Italian food, or just a chunk of cheese. I would seriously recommend visiting this bakery and trying their bread for yourself. Evidently they also have an upstairs to their bakery where you can avail yourself of their free wi-fi and enjoy some espresso while you watch Nenad bake away downstairs. My only reason for not giving a whole 5 stars is that I don't feel I have quite enough info yet. I have no doubt that once I've tried a few more varieties they will have that fifth star easily. Edited 11/30/17 - this review was based off of "Julia Bakery", which I think may be a completely different business than what is there these days. read more

I haven't been to the actual store but I visit their booth at farmers market every weekend. I always buy a loaf of one of their various breads and have never been disappointed by my selection. Whether it's sourdough, cheese and garlic, challah, or anything else it is absolutely delicious and doesn't last more than a couple days in our house. Also, we always get one of their cheese sticks and eat it while perusing the market. We always get stopped by other people to ask what we are eating and where they can get one. This is a breadstick with cheese baked inside and on top and is my favorite weekly indulgence. This place is awesome. I could go on and on about their amazing food. read more

Y'all are so dumb ordering cupcakes and cookies at a Hispanic bakery. They have to put options out there for people, they are great at what they know and that's making food from their country. The food right outside of the store is one of the best. If you get sick it's because your weak ass stomach can't take the delicious blends of spices. I've been eating there since they opened up and never gotten sick. read more

I'm not a huge cinnamon roll fan but I couldn't resist them when I got here because they looked like they just came out of the oven (condensation building in the package). The walnut cinnamon roll ($3.25) was SO good-fresh, fluffy and definitely not skimpy on the walnuts. AND it was so huge- I swear its made for like 3 people to share (in fact I'm eating some of it right now at home as I write this)! Sigh, this place is way too dangerously close to my work :( read more

I ordered a Unicorn cake with a larger cupcake for my daughters first birthday and showed them a picture of what I was wanting it to look like with pastel colors. The cake turned out exactly the way I had hoped other than the colors being a bit darker than pastel but I am still happy with it. The cake was strawberry flavored with cream cheese filling and it tasted amazing! All my guests loved the cake! I will definitely choose them again! Great customer service as well! read more

Wonderful pasteries, and meat tamales. Owner and customer service is superb. Friendly folk and amazing pasteries.

The owner of this bakery, Salvador, is the rudest! I called the bakery because my friend who does not speak Spanish wanted me to verify his order. I was hung up on because Salvador was very prideful of his English and said he was bilingual and had to have my friend call directly. When I returned his call I asked him why he had hung up on me, he said because he didn't understand me when I speak perfect Spanish. I think it might be a pride thing but I don't believe that any customers should be hung up on. The only thing I wanted to do was verify that he and his staff had the correct cake order. Additionally, the lack of customer service was astonishing. I will never return to this place again. People like Salvador don't deserve business. Not to mention, The food cart outside of the bakery is of concern. My family and I became extremely ill after consuming the food. I do not recommend anyone go here read more

I just got my birthday cake from Julia Bakery and it was absolutely fantastic. It was a black forest cake consisting of, rich chocolate cake, smeared with chocolate whipped cream and strawberries folded into the layers. Oh and to top it off, it had a HUGE chocolate shell on it! Fabulous, right? I called a month in advance for a simple order and was actually surprised that they remembered. (For some reason, I was waiting for them to be like 'oh sorry, never made that cake' or something.) We also didn't remember the price exactly when we came in but thought it was $39 or $35 dollars for the large cake, but they insisted on letting us pay $35 instead due to the miscommunication. The staff was friendly and I'm overall very pleased. Thanks Julia Bakery! read more

I've loved this place since it opened back around 2008 or 2009. Since I've moved to Connecticut, I miss his tiramisu, meat stuffed breads, and his many other desserts. The owner is such a nice man who always is friendly and lets you try a little here and there. read more

So far I've had a salami and artichoke roll, cheese bread, French bread, ciabbata and two scones. Everything is miles better than anything on this side of the river (a low standard) Fully competitive with the best in Portland including New Seasons bakery which this owner used to run. Well worth a substantial drive read more

Seriously, one of the best bakeries in the Portland Metro area! Their Challah and Olive Loaf are amazing ( I prefer the Challah with raisins, but the bread comes in plain and cranberry orange.) Their other delicious and lovingly made creations are worth a trip across town, across the river and down the street! (It's right down the street from my house and that can be dangerous. ;] ) They also hold court at the Vancouver Farmers Market and at the new Butcher Boys location on 4th Plain. You won't be disappointed! Check them out on their Facebook page with weekly specials (Julia Bakery), plus on their new website. So proud of them! read more

I'm ashamed to realize I've been driving by Julia since it opened but didn 't walk through the door until today. The store front is a modest, non-descript, office-like structure. I foolishly assumed it was someone's dream of business ownership that wouldn't last. Learning this morning that J'Taime, on Main St had closed, I was searching the Columbian to try to learn why it died. It was the first (as far as I knew) legit, hi-grade bakery where I could finally get a decent croissant in Vancouver. Doing so, I came across positive and interesting references to Julia. Just reading them made me feel dumb about my assumptions mentioned above. The owner is a serious baker who grew up in Croatia and worked for New Seasons (the best grocery in metro PDX) for 6 years. So, in I walk. This is obviously a serious family-run bakery. The Kaiser rolls were just out-of-the-oven, so I took two, a couple cherry scones and a loaf of wonderfully smelling wheat bread. I'm resisting my New Yorker impulses to exclaim delight with vulgarities. I normally take the C-Tran Line 4 to work. As of Monday, I'll be stopping at Julia for coffee and stuff and then catch Line 25 to work. If you are demanding and picky about your breads and pastries, go there at least once. Don 't make my mistake :-) read more
