great tres leches cakes & banana bread! The service is always great and the bakery is huge!

Not my usual stop for pastries but somehow we found this on our way back from lunch. Staffs are very friendly and they have huge fridge like with bunch of different pastries to choose from. They also sell little baguette which my nephew likes. They also ate all the churros in the car. I got a buttery croissant like with jalapenos, cream cheese and ham for my drive home the next day. Pop it in the air fryer and it was delicious. I didn't have a chance to try the other pastries we purchased since I was still full from lunch. Place was really clean and spacious. I will be back to try their flan and other cakes. read more

This was the first time I visited a panaderia in Houston and the third time in my life. I was overwhelmed by the selections displayed in glass cases lining all the walls and the cash register area. I didn't remember the panaderias I had visited in Harlingen and San Antonio having so many choices as El Bolollo. I really had no plan in place regarding selections. I picked familiar such as churro and then I ramdomly picked pastries that I had never seen and tasted before. I had no idea the name of the bakes except for churro. The Mrs, youngest daughter, and I really enjoyed the bakes with our coffee. The total cost was $14.25, tax included for nine pieces of bakes. It actually shocked me because I was expecting to pay more. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The family definitely will return to explore and purchase more bakes. read more

Not particularly fond of any Mexican sweetbreads. However, I highly recommend the fresh flour tortillas, the kolaches, the bolillo buns and all those wonderful cakes! Very large selection of goodies. read more

This place is great, I'm pretty sure it should be called a Houston Institution! I've been going here for over 20 years! The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is I have never been a fan of their cookies and their legendary tres leches cake simply isn't as good as it used to be. But, practically EVERYTHING else is great! read more

I waited so long for this place to open and it was well worth the wait. OMG walking into this beautiful building where they have it designed inside just as beautiful. You walk into the Bakery area and their cakes looked absolutely gorgeous! Then you go to the left side of the building where you take a tray and get your own pastries. They make fresh tortillas and so much more. Their was a lady yelling out fresh tamales (YUM). I got a 4" cake for my hubby's bday. And 2 big Wedding Cookies that were absolutely deliciously delicate cookies and a few other pastries . We haven't cut into the cake yet (mouth watering) but I know it's going to taste amazing! Definitely a happy customer read more

Fort Bend, South West Houston, Hwy 6, Alief, and all surrounding parts! The Mexican Bakery Gods have finally blessed us with the legendary El Bolillo Bakery! Huzzah! Gracias a Dios! Nestled in a old shopping center by Hwy 6 and Bellaire, El Bolillo has come to bring this area back to life with some wonderful treats! Right behind the Walgreens (that has been in this area for over 30 years), you will see a beautifully colored building that screams: Orgullo Latino (Latino Pride). Open from 6am to 10pm, El Bolillo is known around the city of Houston for their amazing variety of cakes, baked goods, French bread (bolillos), sweet bread, coffee, treats, and just all around great service. Once we walk into this location (that ages ago used to be a Luby's) you are greeted by friendly staff, a beautiful atmosphere, and just a huge local with a wide variety of things to stuff your face in. You grab a tray, some tongs, and go door to door and grab whatever sweet bread (pan dulce) that is your fancy. There is a wide variety of Mexican/Latino breads to chose from. I personally love the conchas, empanadas, cookies, and churros. There are saltier options such as kolaches and breads that have cheese, chorizo, and jalapenos. El Bolillo is known for there tres leches, and they have slices for sale, as well as whole cakes. This time around, we chose a oreo cookie tres leches which was an absolute blast of flavors! Their flan is also very tasty, and the choco flan is someting my dreams are made of. Its exciting to have this famous and well recognized bakery on this side of team. Not to mention that its all very affordable! Come check it out! Viva el pan! read more

Eduardo was incredibly helpful with choosing out a cake , they are much cheaper than other bakeries , he was very kind and greeted me with love (no homo) will come back again read more

The sweet bread is good. I've also bought a cheesecake from here before that was very delicious. The girls who attended me were very nice and fast. read more

We recently saw this location. The building and its colors caught our attention. Beautiful. So, we dropped in. Waited in line for the bollilos and it was worth it. Fresh bread. Loved it. Bought some pastries, including marrinitos and they were delicious oils. Even had the tamales and they were just how we like it. More meat than anything. We then returned in hr new year and we continue to be pleased. The employees were nice and helpful as well. We found our new place. Sorry, Arandas. You lost a customer. We will be returning every week to this location. read more

I went back and tried their tamales: pork, queso and chicken. I loved the chicken best, but they all smelled and tasted great! Will be back for more! read more

Hi found this place to be highly unorganized, sloppy craftsmanship, and very chaotic. Perhaps they're still figuring out the flow but overall I was not impressed. Most of the shelves were empty and the few items that were available were stale. I like other bolillo locations but this one needs improvement on everything! read more

Since moving, we travel 20-30 minutes to visit the location on Main Street. The parking there is horrible and the establishment itself extremely crowded, but worth it. We were dining close by for my besties birthday and she mentioned they recently opened this location on Hwy 6 which was supposed to be huge in comparison to the location on Main Street. And who am I to say no to the birthday girl? The parking lot is huge as it's shared with other businesses. It's well lit. Right before you walk in, there's an outdoor seating area with a few tables and chairs. We walked in and I was marveled by the size of the place, decor and cleanliness. Everywhere we looked, sweet bread galore! The first area is cakes. You can purchase cakes which are already made or place a custom order. Right to the left is where you grab a tray and a pair of tongs. There's all kinds of sweet bread, something for everyone. From the cochinito, to muffins, to the infamous conchas. The bolillos were fresh! Baked on site and tossed into a pit for customers to pick. There's a station for coffee, hot chocolate, and Mexican hot chocolate. A tortilla station working to get fresh tortillas out. There are refrigerators that offer a variety of Mexican drinks, juice, milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, eggs, and cheese. There's another small area that sells the infamous Abuelita Chocolate. There's another station serving tamales, aguas frescas and champurrado. The kids enjoyed their Horchata and we opted for warm champurrado. I will say I was a bit disappointed with the consistency of the champurrado as it was a little thick for my preference, but I still finished it. We enjoyed shopping here as it was not shoulder to shoulder, tons of space to walk and didn't feel rushed. What better way to end the night than with some "pan dulce" and champurrado. read more

Their stuff does not taste authentic at all. I live in Mexico and I live in Houston. I know pan dolce. The pastry here has a general spongy consistency. Like wonder bread. I bought a tamale. The filling was like mousse. Nope. The people were nice. The atmosphere was great. I'll try it again just because it seems so unlikely that bakery so big and specialized would be so mundane. read more

Amazing!!!!! So much better 1000000x + than the Lecaroz a few blocks. Great quality bread at El Bolillo Bakery read more

I stopped by this bakery for the first time today. It is a wonderdul experience. I got so many sweet baked items, and some empanadas to try, and the staff were really friendly. The service was quick. Overall, the place had a warm vibe, and I cannot wait to try more treats! read more

Some products do not have the quality that is expected and that they should offer, I have visited the place on 3 occasions and every time I go I can see that the quality of the products has been lost, today Thursday October 3 at 9:30 PM I was there and the cake bread had mold, I took it to the supervisor in the blue shirt and an associate and their response was to laugh, I will never go with my family read more

Tamales are awesome ! Sweet bread is awesome ! Authentic Mexican ! I highly recommend it.

Plenty of great bakery items to choose from. Sometimes the workers are rude to us though..they would aggressively toss our items into the bags. Haven't been back since that incident :/ read more

Had a bad experience here. Got treated rudely by the cashier and the bagger. The maneger was also no help at all. They were all sarcastic and unwelcoming. Got sick from eating their bread a couple days later! Place was colorful and fun ambiance tho. Dose NOT make up for it. Go support a different small business in the area. The festia bakery is down the street. read more

A bit pricey but good quality bread! Definitely recommend if you're looking for some good authentic Mexican bread. Tortillas are decent and wouldn't recommend the tamales but that's just me. Everything else is pretty good read more

Great prices, I love all the delicious Tres Leches! Everything seem fresh, you won't regret it.

This place is a well oiled machine with lots of moving parts. Folks replacing items, folks making items, folks running registers, folks cleaning and taking orders for the cakes. The place gets crowded on the weekends but it's so spacious that you don't feel on top of each other while making your selections. Speaking of selections, they have soooo many selections that it's hard to choose. I have my favorites but really I haven't had a bad item. If you want the items with meat, you better get there early in weekends. I have not needed a cake lately but if I do this looks like the place to get one. Their cake display looks meticulous and full of color. read more

Ayer estuve en el bolillo Bakery localizado en 6704 S Texas 6 Houston Tx. El pan dulce es exelente como siempre pero el personal deja mucho que desear me cobraron por un cafe que no tenian y ademas el empleado insistía en que tomara un chocolate en total gastamos $100 dólares entre 3 personas y se negaban a regresarme 1.94 por un café que no tenían realmente una muy mala experiencia hasta me ofrecieron que me hiciera un café soluble ‍ ese tipo de cafe lo hago en casa cada dia. Los tamales de rajas no tenían rajas ni queso era pura masa con granos de elote yo no pude regresar porque vivo en Corpus. Pero definitivamente mi ultima vez ahi. Sus pan es muy rico bien hecho pero su personal no es el adecuado gente de muy mal humor y cuando le pedimos a la chica que no aventara nuestro pan en la bolsa porque se rompía ella nos ignoró y todas las galletas llegaron rotas después de 3 horas de viaje. read more

The best bolillo and sweet bread in town, I recommend it 100% , they have large variety of sweet bread

They have wonderful bread I only hope they lower the prices.Different occasion bread for all your needs.Tamales are not that good.Too spicy hot and dry read more

FOOD PRICE SERVICE?!? It's amazing. I love this bakery. I've put my whole family on. From my mother to my mother in law.

This location is great. The building's colorful 'hacienda' aesthetic makes it interesting and inviting. Parking was not too bad either. If I remember correctly there is also a patio outside to eat and chill(with good shade from weather). Once inside, nice open floor plan and plenty of lighting. The workers at the entrance counter were friendly. Their uniforms made it easy to identify the employees and ask for help if necessary. Once you enter, to the left you will find all the hot fresh food and a good selection of Mexican pastries. And they also have a cooler section with a variety of cold drinks at reasonable prices! That was a great surprise. One thing that I would strongly suggest is placing a price sticker for each kind of pastry because it is unclear the price until checking out at register. And it is tedious having to ask about all the prices. I guess you have to be a regular customer to know them. There is a steady flow of customers walking around choosing their items so it reassures me that the food is fresh. They have an area with hot breakfast food items. Then there is a station where some ladies are making fresh warm flour tortillas. There I was helped by Judy(if I remember correctly) and she was the sweetest! I was already going to buy a pack of tortillas that were sealed and ready but she went the extra mile! Judy offered me a freshly made one and asked what sour cream spread(Mexican recipe or Salvadorian recipe) I would like to try with it. She rolled it up nicely after applying the spread inside(also, her sanitation practices were perfect). That is something I notice when buying food that is kind of out in the open. Anyway, upon trying the rolled up tortilla, I asked where to find the spread to purchase it! Whether she was trying or not, she managed to upsell with the friendliest demeanor. I hope Judy gets recognized by her supervisor after this review! I was also helped by Rita, Ashley, and someone else(sorry for not recalling her name) at the station that sells hot pastries with foil covering the pans. They have a register there and the ladies were patient and helpful with my questions. They also went the extra mile. I think a company should value the workers that give you such great experiences. All the employees I encountered were either pleasant or above and beyond workers, but each one contributed to a great experience. I hope to continue having great shopping experiences with this bakery. Thank you again Judy, Rita, and Ashley! And I am hoping this was helpful to potential customers. read more
