    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.

    amazing cakes to choose from for your next family event

    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

    Finally in town!

    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!

    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!

    Nice experience. The bakery was clean. The staff is careful not to touch your selections when packing up your items.

    Great atmosphere, excellent coffee, easy parking, and plenty of seating. I visited on a weekday…read moremorning to get some remote work done. It was my first visit--I ordered an almond milk cappuccino, an iced banana bread latte, and a chocolate croissant (note: the full kitchen opens an hour after the shop). Both drinks were fantastic--well balanced, and the banana bread latte really tasted like its namesake without being overly sweet. The croissant was average, though I appreciated the smaller size compared to the oversized ones you usually see. The barista was knowledgeable and genuinely engaged with customers, which made the experience stand out. One downside: the Wi-Fi was slow, even when it wasn't busy, so I ended up using my phone hotspot. I'd come back to try the matcha and explore more of the food menu.

There were customers working on their laptops and I noticed a sectioned off work/group room for rent. I really love the decor and huge menu on the wall written in chalk style. The Texas wall art is awesome. The staff person was very welcoming. The restroom was pretty clean. My friend ordered the Wah chicken sando which she said had great flavor. I got the iced rose matcha latte and egg & cheese croissant sandwich. I loved the floral taste balanced perfectly with fresh matcha. The sandwich was delicious and I'm usually not a sauce fan but it was delicious. I definitely want to try their Wah burger next time.

My friends had tried their desserts and other drinks and loved it. My matcha latte is pretty typical compared to other coffee shops, but what I love about them is the beautiful mug designs. It just makes me smile whether it's a bear or flower. They have wonderful service and the staff have a great attitude. I came here to meet a friend and noticed that it's hard hear her because it magnifies all the other noises as well (for indoor seating). It almost felt like I had to talk much louder for her to hear. There is ample indoor seating, so you won't have to worry about not having a table. I haven't tried the outdoor seating area but I've seen many patrons use that area. The drinks and desserts are on the pricier side in the area but very unique items, which make them stand out. Despite it being on the pricier side, it's still one of my favorite coffee shops in the area to meet up with friends and family.
