This is a great local bakery. The variety is good and the goods are fresh. I have enjoyed everything bought from El Aguila over many years, and I really like their tamales too, especially the chicken tamales. When you need to get some pan dulce for your sweet tooth give them a try. read more

I went to the Head Start preschool next door, Plaza de Raza back in the 80s. My mom would get me a concha before school once or twice a week. After 40 years, when I bit into it, it brought me back to my 4 year old self. It's rare that places haven't changed and I'm glad they're still in business. read more

Loyal customer for about twenty years, but I find myself writing this review because something needs to be done. The tamales I ordered for my brothers bday today were horrible. 6 pork 6 cheese - they tasted bad we had to throw them. Our Rosca was soooo dry! A co worker brought one of her own and we couldn't believe the differences. The avena and champurrado and conchas never disappoint. They were good. Just asking that they listen to customers and i won't stop going but I'll never buy tamales again. read more

I've been looking for a new place for pan dulce and tamales. This is not the one. Unlike some stores where you can get your bread yourself, this one is pulled from behind a glass case by an employee. The piece pictured is one of two that looked edible from the top but when we got it home it has this weird black moldy stuff on the underside. We also got a few tamales, red pork which was OK, and green chile cheese that was terrible. I don't know what type of cheese is used but it was a rubbery lump that squeaked when chewed it. I pushed the cheese aside and tried to eat only the masa, but the last half was raw. How can a shop stay in business selling such poor quality foods. read more

I think I came here about 14 years ago with a boyfriend, and the quality of their pan dulce was great. But now you don't get the same service, ingredients must've changed, their prices skyrocketed. But their empanadas are awful, emaciated, and decrepit triangles that just fall apart in the bag. I recall paying a sh@t-load for something that I was embarrassed to share with my dad. It was baked for the sole purpose of throwing it in the rubbish bin. I will not be back. El Pavo nearby, stuffs their wheat empanada full of calabaza and are delicious and hearty. They form the outer layer of my pericardial sack for sure. read more

Old school since 1973. This is a neighborhood staple and every time I come here there are customers picking out their favorite baked goods. The interior is small but they offer a wide range of baked goods and the line was out to the sidewalk. It was Xmas eve and my daughter requested for me to buy some tamales, usually they are sold out but this time around they had them in stock. I guess other bakeries and restaurants are offering tamales so now there's competition in this area. read more

I think the ones sold on the street are way better than this crap. Do not buy their tamales trust!!!. The cheese tamale has a brick what they call cheese, shit didn't even melt that is not cheese.

Pan Dulce is excellent. I don't live in area any more but make it a point to stop by if in town for some although super pricing. Tamales are the worse. Masa was not fully cooked near meat area of tamale. A lot of masa with no taste, the filling was not tasty as well. Wasted $13 on 4 tamales. Literally did not eat 2 of the 4 and haven't opened the other 2. Costco tamales are better than these. Will never buy tamales from here again. read more

TERRIBLE!!! I should've read the reviews before coming here. The bread was overpriced. I thought I heard wrong when the rude woman told us the prices. $4.25 for a piece of Mexican sweet bread, are you kidding? I know prices have gone up but that's exaggerated. We still purchased sweet bread to support small businesses, boy what a mistake that was. The bread was old, stale and not eatable. Some advice, go to El Pavo instead for a lot better and cheaper sweet bread or Big Saver Foods down the street. These places won't disappoint. Great for the tummy and easy on your wallet. Also, did not care for the woman there. She was bothered that we asked for the prices. Never smiled and just gave us a lot of attitude. This bakery needs a serious, major make over. The others who reviewed this place are not wrong. Be careful what you eat from here. Fair warning. read more

The one that's PICTURED is the cheese tamale , it was much more flavorful but the masa was uncooked and I cut it open and witnessed a very rubbery, hard orange thing ? I was trying to see if it was cheese but once id get it to rip apart with my fork it looked like a random piece of meet.? I ended up throwing it away sadly , it was also very mushy . The pollo tamale was very dry and mushy ! I'm not sure how it's possible to be both but it was ,sad I wasted my money :( read more

As we made it in, you order as you walk down the selection of pastries then to the cakes. I ordered a danish with strawberries, chocolate croissant, almond croissant, tiramisu, and a yuzu cake. At the end we were pleasantly told our order came with two complimentary macarons so we got the cookoes and cream and passionfruit. Afterwards, we sat at the store to try the danish since we were hungry. Have to say it measures up to another one of my favorite patisseries that is located in Del Mar called Clemente. The danish texture was soft yet super flakey, and the thin layer of vanilla cream to strawberry ratio was perfection. It's so hard to find places that have exceptional quality croissant pastries, but this place is on the top of our list for LA. We enjoyed the cakes at home afterwards, but everything was so delicious. Unfortunately we forgot to take oir own ice packs and took a minute to get back home so the cakes slightly melted, but even after putting them in the fridge to enjoy later, they were so good! Highly recommend Artelice if you're looking for

Champignon: Hazelnut crunch at the bottom with hazelnut creme. The mushroom cap had a small layer of sponge cake and hazelnut creme on top. Lychee rose: Very light on lychee flavor, there's a combination of lychee and a light rose scent. It's layered with sponge cake, 2 layers of jelly. Sweetness similar to Asian cake.

The nikuman had a meat (chicken?) and veggie filling that was crunchy and slightly sweet and salty, while the curryman had a traditional Japanese curry filling that was tasty with the perfect amount of spices. They perfectly warmed both body and soul on a chilly LA morning. If I lived nearby, I'd eat these every day! We also tried the yuzu cream pan, which was also pretty epic. The topping was a little crunchy, complementing the soft bread and creamy and smooth tart filling. This is definitely my new favorite Japanese bakery in the US! I just wish I lived a little closer to it.

There were so many options, and everything in the display case looked fresh and tempting. The pastries I tried were really delicious -- soft, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It felt like the kind of bakery where people actually care about quality instead of just making things look pretty. The vibe inside was cozy and relaxed, which made it easy to slow down for a bit and enjoy everything. It's definitely the kind of place I'd come back to whenever I want good pastries and coffee without going somewhere overly trendy or complicated.

I used to stop by this bakery whenever I was in Ktown because I thought it was pretty solid. But…read moreafter today, I've definitely changed my mind. I got a sausage bbang, a chocopie, and a dalgona latte. The sausage bbang was soggy on the bottom and honestly tasted like it was from the day before. The chocopie barely had any filling, just a thin layer of marshmallow and jam. It honestly felt like they used most of the marshmallow for their Dubai choco cookie because it's probably more profitable, instead of properly filling the chocopie. If that's the case, it's better not to sell it at all than serve something like that. The dalgona latte was also disappointing. With ice, the drink only filled to the bottom third line of the cup marking. Clearly, they skimped on the milk. There was also a weird moment when I paid. My total was $15.25 and I paid cash, but I was given $4.75 in change. When I said it should be $5, she seemed confused and asked what I meant. I told her I literally gave you a quarter right now, and she questioned it before eventually giving me the correct change. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a mistake. I understand times are hard, but charging more for products that clearly had corners cut doesn't sit right with me. It just comes across like there's no integrity. Clearly the quality and portions are going downhill. I wasn't even planning on writing this review. I was going to stay quiet, but the chocopie really ticked me off. I'm not going to pay for food that skims on ingredients and shortchanges customers by charging more for less, so this will be my last visit.

My friend got the strawberry brick toast and although the presentation was a little messy, the toast was solid. I think my issue is just that it feels more like a bakery than a cafe. It's not the best place to study because their seating is outside, meaning no outlets. You are also super close by the street and sidewalk so lots of external noise. Parking is a bit hard but that's ktown for you. For sure the treats are good but wouldnt describe this place as one of my go-to's in korea town to study nor to catch up with my friends.

And I know that vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting is pretty easy to make, but sometimes I'd rather just buy baked goods than make them for myself, especially when I'm driving past what I thought was a popular (and presumably good) bake shop. I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.

Sure enough, we were seated right away. My daughter and I love the Portobello fries for a starter. They are so delicious and crispy, and the dipping sauce pairs perfect. For our meal we decided to share a Cesar salad and a pizza. For dessert we actually wanted the CHOCOLATE FRAMBOISE but they were all out. They actually were out of quite a bit of their pastries. The whole pastry counter was completely empty. I asked the server why it was empty and he mentioned they sold out due to graduation season. I decided on the crème brûlée and my daughter ordered chocolate gelato. We enjoyed our dessert. As for the ambiance, if you're looking for a romantic quiet restaurant for dinner. Bottega Louie is not for you. It is a loud up beat restaurant. I personally enjoy it. They have a person making the pizza towards the back and this night a table of guests were cheering him on as he threw the pizza dough up in the air multiple times. So fun to watch! The chefs are also cooking your food with a clear glass around them so you can watch as they prepare the food. Definitely recommend!!

My friend and I finally decided on the pepperoni pizza, the Brussel sprouts, and the Belgian waffle. The pizza was so delicious; it was evidently fresh, made with fresh mozzarella and tomato. The crust was perfectly cooked and crunchy! We were very impressed with the Brussel sprouts. They came mixed with candied walnuts, which was definitely my favorite part about this whole meal. We ate the Belgian waffle last. I thought it would have been too dense or soggy by the end of our meal. It ended up being completely perfect. The only thing I wish was that we had more of that wonderful vanilla whipped cream and fresh seasonal berries. I brought my bff here as a graduation gift. We left with full stomachs and very happy. I loved the decor and elegance of the restaurant. We will return to try the pastries next!!
